Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has addressed the recent incident involving a panga-wielding man and police officers in Nakuru.
While speaking on Friday, June 13, the CS criticised Kenyans for supporting the man, noting that the incident could have easily turned chaotic. "You see police officers trying to restore calm but then you see a man with a panga going after the police officers.
Yet you will find some citizens cheering such a person in social media or today," Murkomen stated.
He stated that the government would be more stringent on such individuals, adding that the State would "hold civilians accountable."
