Katiba Institute, KHRC Petition Court to Declare CS Murkomen Unfit for Office

A petition has been filed at the High Court seeking to remove Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen from office.

The petition filed by The Katiba Institute, the Kenya Human Rights Commission and other civil society organisations on July 2 argues that Murkomen is unfit to hold office following his 'shoot-to-kill orders.'  "The petition alleges that these comments constitute incitement to violence and unlawful acts, and amount to unacceptable ethical conduct required of a public officer.

The petition asks the court to find that the CS, as a public officer, is not fit to hold public office," the organisations said in a joint statement.
