Matungulu MP Stephen Mule has called for the impeachment of Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, alleging that the Parliament would have taken action if it hadn't been "captured" by the State. Speaking to a local television station on Monday night, Mule linked the violence in Homa Bay to the security apparatus' failure to protect Kenyans.
He argued that the deaths during the rally should have prompted Parliament to demand accountability. Mule claims that President William Ruto's control over Parliament prevents MPs from overseeing the Executive effectively. He emphasized the importance of tolerance towards diverse political views and the Constitution's protection of freedom of expression and political opinion.
Mule criticized the handling of civil society activists who protested police brutality and called for the resignation of the Inspector General of Police. He also criticized Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma for remarks attributed to him during the political tensions and urged the arrest of Kaluma if the security apparatus wants Kenyans to trust them.
The National Cohesion and Integration Commission is investigating Kaluma's political statements following the Homa Bay incident.
