Trufosa Jelagat Kutto appeared before the commission over remarks she allegedly made at Tambwo Village on October 31.

The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has questioned Nandi MCA Trufosa Jelagat Kutto over alleged threatening remarks. The allegations concern public utterances about forcibly removing political dissenters from Nandi County to Hamisi.

Kutto, who represents Kemeloi-Maraba Ward, appeared before the commission on Tuesday following a summons. She allegedly made the remarks on October 31, 2026, at Tambwo Village in Koloch Serem.

The summons followed public backlash over a viral video containing the alleged threats.

Nandi MCA responds to allegations

During the proceedings, Kutto responded to the allegations through her lawyer and presented her submissions to the commission. NCIC Chairman Bishop Kepha Nyamweya Omae led the session alongside commissioners and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Giti.

The commission will now consider the submissions and evidence presented during the proceedings before reaching a determination. That review forms the next step in its consideration of the allegations against the ward representative.

Meanwhile, Omae reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to fairness, impartiality and due process as it considers the matter. He also urged political leaders and members of the public to exercise restraint in public remarks and promote peaceful coexistence.
