Three musicians accused of fuelling hate speech through their songs have been charged with hate speech.

Muigai wa Njoroge, Kamande wa Kioi and John DeMathew songs are alleged to contain inciting words and the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has recommended that they be charged.
