The Director of Public Prosecution Keriako Tobiko (DPP) may withdraw the case of hate speech against the former Embakasi MP Ferdinand Waititu if he apologises to the Maasai community.
The DPP sent an official to the court saying charges against the former MP will be withdrawn if he apologised.
Mr Waititu said through his lawyer that he had met the elders of the community and that he plans to make a public apology.
The DPP had ordered the arrest of former MP for alleged incitement and hate speech against the Maasai community.
This was as a result of parts of a speech made by Mr Waititu reacting to the killing of a child, allegedly by a Maasai security guard.
