Apparently Ole Kaparo has started delivering ..... Moses Kuria just got his reprieve. I hope they included a clause to restore the charges if he repeats because he is doing it again before the ink on this deal has dried. Note that Kuria while waiting for this deal tried to publicly rape Millie Odhiambo in parliament and boasted about it.
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria will from Tuesday post apologies on newspapers with national circulation as part of an agreement reached with the Law Society of Kenya and the National Cohesion and Integration Commission.
The agreement was reached in the meeting after the NCIC which had initially taken Kuria to court over the posts on his Facebook account which the commission said amounted to hate speech.
The NCIC on Friday last week announced that it would opt for an out-of-court conciliatory settlement with the Gatundu South MP.
“Whereas the commission is mandated to promote conciliation and similar forms of dispute resolution mechanism in order to secure and enhance ethnic and racial harmony and peace in the country, the court has granted leave to pursue an out of court settlement in the matter,” it said in a letter.
Kuria’s case came to the fore after the sentencing of a Kenyatta University student to two years in jail for hate speech and undermining authority.
Social media users questioned why 22-year-old Alan Wadi was prosecuted without representation while Kuria walked free.
They said Wadi should also have been allowed an out-of-court settlement

I am surprised. That he has been told to apologize. That would seem to go against the grain of the "new normal"(total impunity).
According to this article (http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/kuria-was-not-pardoned-court-allowed-alternative-dispute-resolution-ncic-now-says-0), he wasn't pardoned, but given an option to settle it out of court with LSK. Was the DPPs office involved in this case at all?

I see. I had this impression that it was a private prosecution instituted by the LSK.
