Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has condemned the attack on Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi in Kisumu earlier this week, calling it unacceptable. The CS cautioned against rising political intolerance as elections draw near.<\/p>\n
Speaking in Nakuru during the burial of Mitchelle Jelimo Kemboi, daughter of Kenya Ports Authority Director General Captain William Ruto, Murkomen urged political leaders to abandon violence and criminal behavior.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe strongly condemn what happened to Senator Osotsi in Kisumu. It is totally unacceptable,\u201d said Murkomen.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we head towards the elections, I want to urge leaders to reject politics driven by violence, goons, and gangs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Murkomen issued a stern warning to those responsible for the attack, confirming that law enforcement agencies have already taken action.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am pleased to report that the DCI has arrested three suspects, and efforts are ongoing to apprehend others involved,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The Cabinet Secretary dismissed allegations linking Internal Security Principal Secretary Dr. Raymond Omollo to the incident, shifting the blame to political actors he accused of fostering violence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have seen some opposition figures mentioning my PS. I challenge them to come out openly and denounce the goons and gangs they are walking around with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He further emphasized the need for political tolerance and restraint, calling for peaceful engagement as the country approaches the election period.<\/p>\n
