Monday, June 30, 2025 - A section of police officers has taken to social media to denounce Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen’s controversial shoot-to-kill order amid the ongoing Gen Z-led protests.
“Mtu yeyote atakaribia police station, piga yeye
risasi... Bunduki sio mandazi!” Murkomen declared recently, drawing
widespread public outrage.
In rare defiance, several officers have openly criticized
the order, reaffirming their commitment to protect, not harm, civilians.
Taking to social media, some called on the CS to carry out
the order himself, while others urged colleagues to remain professional in the
face of political pressure.
“Guns don’t kill people, it’s people who kill people. Let us
be professional, countrymen,” one officer posted.
Kenyans have applauded the officers’ courage, noting the
risk they face by being critical of the CS on social media.
Members of the disciplined forces are typically barred from
publicly challenging their superiors, especially through social media
platforms.
