Methu labels Murkomen ‘CS for Goons and Coordination of National Terror’

Methu accused Murkomen of failing to curb what he described as a growing “goon culture” targeting opposition activities.

Nakuru, Kenya - Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) Secretary General-designate John Methu has publicly accused Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen of being responsible for "goons and the coordination of national terror." Methu claims that police in Nakuru were instructed to stay away during a violent attack on opposition supporters, allowing hired groups to carry out their attack.

Methu's allegations target Murkomen's police command structure, stating that goons attacked opposition teams traveling to political meetings, and officers did not intervene. Methu further alleges that a police Land Cruiser was stationed near the scene, yet officers were ordered to keep a distance. Methu claims these attacks were coordinated and funded through Nakuru West MP Samuel Arama, with support from Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika.

Methu urges the police to protect opposition activities and warns that continued violence will make it harder for the opposition to campaign, as they expand their reach beyond individual constituencies.
