Friday, August 2, 2024 - President William Ruto’s Cabinet Secretary nominee for Interior Prof. Kithure Kindiki appears to have given thumbs up to the police for ruthlessly dealing with Gen Zs during anti-government protests.
Speaking during his vetting by
the National Assembly’s Appointment Committee Chaired by Speaker Moses
Wetangula, Kindiki commended the police service for its relentless efforts to
deal with the criminals who infiltrated the protests.
According to Kindiki, about 54
police cars were destroyed by the demonstrators during the recent events that
paralysed the country.
"I estimate that on a
broader scale of things, generally, the police tried their best to protect the
country against criminals, including those who visited Parliament and wanted to
kill parliamentarians," Kindiki stated.
However, Kindiki refused to take
responsibility for the deaths of protesters, telling the police to carry their
cross.
He asked the Independent Police
Oversight Authority (IPOA) to go for individual police officers who killed and
maimed the Gen Zs.
The police have been accused of
killing 60 unarmed Gen Zs during protests, and for Kindiki to commend the
police for what they did, is condemning the dead.
For the last two months, the Gen
Zs have been staging weekly protests demanding accountability from
President William Ruto’s government.
However, the protestors were met
with police brutality where they maimed and killed at least 60 youths.
