Civil society organisations led by Katiba Institute have filed a petition at the Milimani High Court seeking to have Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen declared unfit to hold public office over remarks he made regarding the use of lethal force by police during the ongoing anti-government protests.
In the case, Katiba Institute alongside the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and the Independent Medico-Legal Unit accuse Murkomen of overstepping his mandate by commenting on policing matters and making statements that allegedly incite unlawful violence, misrepresent the law, and violate the Constitution.
