The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) will summon Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria and his Bahati counterpart Kimani Ngunjiri over hate speech.
NCIC chairman Francis Ole Kaparo said the commission would also ask the court to cancel Mr Kuria’s bond in a pending hate speech case.
Mr Kuria allegedly called for the assassination of Cord leader Raila Odinga in remarks he is said to have made at the Safaricom Kasarani Stadium on Sunday.
Mr Ngunjiri was captured on video telling a group of young people to ensure that members of a certain community leave Nakuru Town and its environs "immediately".
The MP spoke on Saturday when he addressed rowdy youths who were attempting to storm a hotel in Nakuru where Mr Odinga was holding a meeting with local professionals and party officials.
