The government through the National Police Service has issued a 5-point response to UDA, stating hose their allegations are baseless.
NPS has said the allegation by the UDA was meant to soil the good name of law enforcers in the country.
UDA made the allegation after the drama that unfolded in Jacaranda ground, where DP Ruto’s rally was disrupted by rogue youths who were throwing stones at the DP’s supporters,
The police officers who were at the scene had to use teargas to disperse the youths.
Below are the five points that NPS has outlined in response to DP Ruto’s UDA party
1. Reference is made to a letter by the United Democratic Alliance alleging the complicity of the National Police Service in instances of violence involving the party.
2. The allegations are utterly baseless and false in nature and are maliciously intended to injure the reputation of the NPS and its officers. None of the allegations listed in the said letter has been formally reported to the NPS.
3. The allegations form a sustained and regrettable streak of unfounded, outrageous, and provocative allegations by the leadership of the party.
4. The National Police Service is a professional institution that is committed to the rule of law and upholding of laid out protocols that guide the conduct of political rallies and other public events. These guidelines will continue to be upheld fairly, firmly, and robustly without favours or exceptions.
5. As the country heads to the General Election, we urge all stakeholders to exercise sobriety and refrain from acts and deeds that undermine our institutions and offices that are critical to the unity and security of the Nation.
