Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen has taken a hard stance against what he described as the normalisation of criminality under the cover of civil liberties, accusing the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and some civil society organizations of shielding suspects involved in recent violent protests across the country.
In what he termed as “rebel-like” behavior emerging in certain parts of the country, Murkomen expressed concern over individuals openly displaying sophisticated weapons while making inflammatory statements online under the pretense of exercising free speech.
