Murkomen issues fresh directive over goons’ menace, reveals Mwananchi ignored advisory

Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has issued a fresh directive aimed at addressing the menace of political goons, warning security agencies against waiting for violence to erupt before taking action. In a recent address in Oldonyiro, Isiolo County, Murkomen emphasized that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the National Police Service must use intelligence gathered ahead of political gatherings to identify and disrupt groups planning to cause unrest.

He advised Kenyans against attending rallies organized by leaders who allegedly sponsor or facilitate violence, urging them to prioritize their safety. Furthermore, Murkomen cited a recent security operation ahead of a Linda Mwananchi rally in Homa Bay, where early intervention by security agencies may have prevented further loss of life.

He also criticized the rally organizers for ignoring security advisories and instead mobilizing additional groups of suspected goons.
