Following the recent destructive protests that have resulted in loss of lives and widespread property damage, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has issued a strong statement addressing the civil unrest. In his remarks, Kindiki commended the police for their professionalism and restraint in managing the highly provocative and violent situations.
Kindiki acknowledged that the unrest began as a legitimate demonstration of public disapproval of the Finance Bill 2024. However, what started as peaceful protests quickly turned violent, leading to significant destruction and an attempt to burn down Parliament Buildings.
Despite the termination of the Finance Bill, Kindiki highlighted the continued threat posed by criminal gangs. “Hordes of marauding criminal gangs continue to pose a grave danger to the public,” he stated, emphasizing the government’s commitment to restoring order.
The Interior Cabinet Secretary praised the police for their professionalism and restraint in handling the volatile situations. He assured the public that any allegations of unlawful conduct by law enforcement officers would be thoroughly investigated and appropriate actions taken. Kindiki also noted that ongoing evidential analysis would lead to the prosecution of those responsible for large-scale arson, violent robberies, and other felonious crimes.
