Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has vowed to protect police officers amid growing scrutiny and public backlash, particularly following the killing of five civilians in Angata Barrikoi, Narok County, earlier this week.
While addressing officers during the Eastern and Rift Valley security meeting in Isiolo on Wednesday, April 30, the CS sought to quell tensions amid concerns in the police force on stigmatisation.
Murkomen was adamant that he was aware of some situations where law enforcement personnel are forced to defend themselves, particularly when their lives are in danger. "I have come to tell you here that we will support our police officers.
We will not be unfair to a police officer who was in a situation where his life was in danger and tried to protect himself," he said.
