Monday, June 30, 2025 - Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba Murkomen, found himself under fire from pulpits across the country over the weekend, following his controversial “shoot to kill” order to police officers in response to the recent Gen Z-led protests.
"Mtu yeyote atakaribia police station, piga yeye
risasi... Bunduki sio mandazi!” Murkomen declared, sparking outrage.
In a widely circulated video, a bold pastor criticized
Murkomen, branding him as arrogant and reckless.
"We have a Minister with a loud mouth telling police to
shoot and kill. He’s full of pride, arrogance, and foolishness - all because of
power," the pastor said.
"Does he have children, parents? Is he even human?
Holding office doesn’t give you the right to take lives.”
Murkomen's remarks have continued to draw widespread
condemnation, with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga becoming the latest
high-profile figure to weigh in.
Speaking in Bondo, Odinga condemned the directive, asserting
that the police are not licensed to kill and that such statements erode the
rule of law and show blatant disregard for life.
"Anyone instructing police to shoot civilians - shame
on you," Odinga said.
"If someone has committed a crime, let them face
justice in court, not the barrel of a gun.”
