Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has defended the government’s decision to shut down access to the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) on Monday, saying the move was necessary to protect businesses and private property from looting during the Saba Saba protests.
Addressing the press in Nairobi on Monday, July 7, 2025, Murkomen acknowledged that the security operation inconvenienced many Kenyans but insisted that it was a necessary measure to avert further destruction.
