Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria is not off the hook yet in a hate speech case facing him before a criminal court in Nairobi.
The MP appeared before Principal Magistrate Enock Cherono.
On Thursday morning for an update on the reconciliation process that he undertook recently after he publicly apologised over hate remarks he posted online.
In the remarks on social media, he had linked members of a certain local Kenyan community to the sporadic terrorist attacks that rocked the country late last year.
“We have so far taken steps towards the reconciliation process and we seek a month to conclude the same,” his lawyers told the court.
The prosecution confirmed that it was aware of the process and encouraged the MP to continue “the positive steps he has taken towards reconciliation” stating that a month was appropriate to conclude the process.
The court set a further mention date for February 14 for an update on the proposed reconciliation.
The MP faces charges of incitement to violence, hate speech and ethnic contempt.
