Former Migori senatorial aspirant and journalist Ken Mijungu has publicly accused former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i of hypocrisy regarding his recent condemnation of goonism and extrajudicial killings. In an interview on the Uprofront Podcast, Mijungu argued that Matiang’i’s criticism of the current government’s handling of violence is inconsistent with his own record as Interior CS.
Mijungu highlighted unresolved cases of deaths and disappearances that occurred during Matiang’i’s tenure, including the mysterious abduction of his friend Techno Michael. He also pointed to deaths linked to demonstrations and incidents at the Yala River during Matiang’i’s time in office. Mijungu expressed disbelief at the violence witnessed in Homa Bay, questioning whether previous warnings from President William Ruto and Interior PS Raymond Omollo were effectively implemented.
He emphasized that Matiang’i should address these unresolved issues before condemning the current administration.
