Kenyans took to social media to express their disappointment and anger after a hateful song dubbed 'Ikamba' whose aim is to mimic Kitui Governor, Charity Ngilu and Kamba community went viral.

The Kikuyu song which is done by two musicians, Waharaka and Isaiah comes just days after Charity Ngilu called on ban on illegal charcoal burning and the sand harvesting business in Kitui county.

In a viral video of the county boss addressing his constituents in Kikamba, she called on the residents to burn lorries transporting charcoal from Kitui to other parts of the country.

The two use unprintable derogatory to describe people from the Kamba community.

The video Irked Kenyans on social media who turned on the two musicians for spewing hate on a community, calling on Francis Ole Kaparo, the chairman of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission to ban the song with some calling for the arrest of the two.

"The matter is seriously being investigated by both the NCIC and the CID. I expect feedback shortly. In the meantime, I appeal for calm and urge all Kenyans to avoid irresponsible and reckless incitements." Said Kaparo.

Below are some of the reactions from Kenyans.

Emannuel Mutisya: The “Ikamba” shows how our communities are fast sinking into abyss & destroying our country. The two artists must be apprehended, and banned from producing more music. The Kamba nation must be respected, all other tribes too. The law must be exercised without fear or favor!

Shrink: That "ikamba" song is full of hate speech. Needs to be banned and the singers jailed for life.

Allen Arnold: I highly condemn the song "IKAMBA" by Isaiah and Waharaka where they spew hate on Kamba community.

Adnan: Ikamba a song by Isaiah, is a total disgrace to kamba community, ati maembe yameisha tutakula mbwa. Man God is great.
