Raila Odinga, the leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party, has strongly criticised Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen for his recent directives to police officers, which were widely perceived as orders to shoot to death.
Speaking at a church service in his hometown of Bondo, the former prime minister denounced Murkomen's remarks, claiming that they nearly amounted to state officials acting lawlessly.
According to Raila, not only was a shoot-to-kill order unconstitutional, but it could further erode the public's confidence in law enforcers. "Anybody giving instructions to a police officer to shoot anyone who gets near a police station, it's a big shame.
Shame on you," Raila said.
