Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has threatened to surveil all retired and former members of Kenya's disciplined forces, including the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), the National Intelligence Service (NIS), and the National Police Service involved in irregular activities.
Speaking during the 23rd edition of the Jukwaa la Usalama tour in Laikipia County on Thursday, Murkomen addressed concerns following a viral post showing former KDF officer and US Army veteran Patrick Osoi dressed in paramilitary gear while calling for action against police brutality and bad governance.
Murkomen condemned the act, stating that such conduct by former security personnel will not be tolerated, given their advanced training and potential to disrupt if misused. "All police, military, and intelligence personnel who are out of service should know that we will not entertain such actions and will place them under strict surveillance," Murkomen declared.
