KIRINYAGA CENTRAL, Kenya – The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Kipchumba Murkomen, has warned politicians against using violence to advance their political agenda.
Speaking today in Kiawakara in Kirinyaga Central Sub-County when he presided over the commissioning of the new Inoi Division Sub-County headquarters, the CS said the government will take stern action against such people.
“We must practise the politics of peace and development. We will not allow stone throwing and fighting in churches like it happened recently in Othaya. As a government, we will put a stop to such and charge those behind it.”
The CS directed the Regional Commissioner and the security team in Central Kenya to crack down on people who are causing chaos and violence in the region.
Murkomen urged politicians to follow the example set by President William Ruto, who practises the politics of ideas, development, and peace.
He added that every politician must be allowed to sell their policies in peace because, in the end, Wananchi will buy the policies that are beneficial to their lives.
The CS was accompanied by Kirinyaga Deputy Governor David Githanda, area MP Joseph Gitari, National Administration Principal Administrative Secretary Beverly Opwora and MCAs led by the Majority Leader Benson Ngahu.
Others were Central Kenya Regional Commissioner Joshua Nkanatha, Regional Police Commander Jasper Ombati, Regional AP Commander Somane Farah, County Commissioner Hussein Allasow, County AP Commander Gladys Kosgei and County Police Commander Abdullahi Jire, among other leaders and government officials.
