The commission is also accusing Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere and Attorney General Amos Wako of failing to take action against Mwakwere despite what it claims is a clear case of hate speech during the Matuga by-election campaigns which saw Mwakwere recapture the seat. But as Abdi Osman reports, Wako has denied the claims by the commission, saying the police were still conducting investigations.
