The government has condemned what it terms as a wave of orchestrated and premeditated attacks on security installations and public infrastructure across the country, warning that those behind the violence will face the full force of the law.
Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen described the incidents, which occurred on June 25 and July 7, as a dangerous escalation of criminality intended to destabilise the country, undermine constitutional order, and instil fear among citizens.
Addressing the press at Harambee House Tuesday, the CS noted that the unprecedented level of destruction, including the torching of 16 police stations and posts, theft of firearms, and looting of business premises, signalled a coordinated attempt to paralyse state authority and public safety. "This was not a protest.
It was deliberate, dangerous, and deeply disturbing criminality designed to sabotage the state's capacity to maintain law and order," stated Murkomen.
