Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen on Friday, January 10, vowed to charge individuals using social media to threaten people, terming it as out of order. While speaking during the launch of Turbo Sub-county offices along with President William Ruto, Murkomen pledged to take stern action against the individuals using social media to generate and share distasteful images depicting the country's top leadership brass. "I want to assure you, your Excellency, myself, and our team in Interior, we are going to relook at this behaviour.
We will make sure that we will charge all of those who are using social media to threaten others because if we do not do so, we will not have a country that is in order," Murkomen averred. "We must bring order to our country because we want Kenyans to live in a nation that is orderly.
We want those who are in church, public service, and politics to support our president to ensure that we live in a country that has law and order," he added.

Photo PCS Murkomen, who was speaking in the presence of Ruto, questioned the motive behind the use of social media to perpetuate such acts, stressing that his ministry will be at the forefront of combating the behaviour. "I want to ask this question to every parent in this country, particularly the church leaders and all the politicians, including those who do not agree with us politically and who are defending this kind of behaviour.
