原文原文 / Original TextNairobi — At least 1,189 people have been sentenced for offences linked to political violence and goonism since 2022, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has told the Senate.
Appearing before the Senate plenary on Wednesday, Prof Murkomen said the sentences handed down by the courts varied depending on the nature and gravity of the offences.
He cited the figure as evidence of government action against political violence amid growing concerns over the use of youths to disrupt political meetings and intimidate opponents ahead of the 2027 General Election.
"This is part of the evidence for those who say that the police are doing nothing to arrest goons," Prof Murkomen said.

The CS said the Government was committed to tackling political violence and would continue pursuing individuals involved in criminal activities disguised as political mobilisation.
His remarks come amid heightened concern over violence at political gatherings in different parts of the country as political activity intensifies ahead of next year's elections.
In August, Prof Murkomen directed the National Police Service and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to adopt a preventive approach by acting on intelligence before suspected gangs reach political rallies. He said security agencies should arrest suspected facilitators before violence occurs rather than wait for confrontations at political meetings.
