I was abducted, not arrested, Grace Mulei details ordeal with police
Grace Njoki Mulei, one of the women who stormed Health Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa’s press briefing at Afya House last week, has been released on a Ksh.10,000 police cash bail.
This follows her arrest at Ladnan Hospital in Nairobi on Thursday night while she sought medical services.
Speaking outside Capitol Hill Police Station, where Njoki was being held, lawyer Ndegwa Njiru who was accompanied by former Governor Mike Sonko among other lawyers revealed that the police were unsure of the charges to press against her.
From surgery to cell for exposing how new health system flopped
The dramatic arrest of a woman by police on Thursday evening as she sought medical help at a hospital, and her subsequent dragging to a police station only to be released the next day without charge, has sparked outrage among Kenyans.
And now the real gangsters and criminals abducting Kenyans are talking about fighting gangs. You are part of a gangster government Mr. Murkomen.
Murkomen puts criminal gangs on notice
“I’m sounding a warning to all criminal gangs out there to either disband or face the full force of the law.”
Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen has put criminal gangs on notice saying the government will spare no efforts to neutralize them.
His warning comes just a day after the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) warned of a resurgent of outlawed criminal gangs in the country.
Speaking on Friday, Murkomen said the government has taken note of the regrouping of the criminal outfits, some which he claimed are mostly sponsored by politicians.
“I’m sounding a warning to all criminal gangs out there to either disband or face the full force of the law,” Murkomen said.
The CS said the gangs undermine the country’s peace and lead youth down the path of criminality, saying leaders who will be found misusing the youth to form gangs to achieve a political end will be prosecuted regardless of their political affiliation or influence.
Murkomen said he has instructed the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to work tirelessly to ensure they trackdown and dismantle the criminal gangs with immediate effect.
The CS was speaking during the launch of the Administration Police Service Road Map for Service Delivery Revitalisation and the National Government Administration Police Unit (NGAPU).
The NGAPU will be working closely with National Government Administrative Officers (NGAO) in the management of security in all administrative units, fostering a collaborative and coordinated approach to addressing emerging security challenges.
“Public servants, including NGAO, who will be found abetting these crimes will be sacked and charged. On the other hand, politicians financing or benefitting from the activities of these gangs are equally culpable irrespective of the office they hold or social status. We will prosecute them,” Murkomen warned.
When is CS for Interior Murkomen addressing the murder of Richard Otieno?
We have the case of Richard Otieno an activist who was grabbed in Molo just outside his home by government sponsored terrorists and they just cut his head to pieces and killed him. So the killers were there waiting for him and as soon as they saw him coming to his house he was a dead man.
Is Murkomen doing anything about this assassination?
No he is not because those crimes are committed by government thugs and gangsters and Murkomen’s job is to protect those killers.
