Kenya security chief Kipchumba Murkomen says worries about ID cards affecting elections make no sense. He told reporters at a media event in Kitui that people cannot easily create large numbers of fake identification cards. Even making 1,000 false IDs would require huge effort, he explained. According to Murkomen, claims about 100,000 fraudulent votes changing presidential results are just guesses.

The cabinet secretary believes national security matters more than these theoretical election concerns. He admits fake ID cases exist but says they happen in scattered locations with no central control. Murkomen dismissed rumors from the North Eastern region that locals accept foreigners taking their places because they speak similar languages. He called such ideas dreams instead of reality.

Murkomen argues that Kenyans protect their interests strongly. Citizens would notice if outsiders tried to take over their communities because it would reduce local power. He points to border fights between Kitui, Machakos, and Makueni counties as proof that Kenyans care deeply about their territories. Such sensitivity makes foreign infiltration very unlikely. Murkomen asks critics to look at facts rather than spread fear.
