Cabinet Secretary Murkomen confronted Law Society of Kenya President Odhiambo during Friday remarks at Uasin Gishu County Commissioner's office in Eldoret. The official rejected her criticism of government terror charges against protest participants. Murkomen defended applying the Anti-Terrorism Act to individuals who destroyed courts and police stations with petrol bombs. He characterized Odhiambo as his former student who made incorrect judgments about the legal proceedings. The Cabinet Secretary insisted that burning public facilities constitutes terrorism rather than peaceful demonstration.
Murkoen warned the judiciary against reducing bail terms for terrorism suspects under public pressure. He questioned why the Law Society defended individuals who infiltrated peaceful protests to cause destruction. The official alleged that organizers deliberately transported people into Eldoret to create unrest during recent demonstrations. Security agencies were tracking those responsible for financing the chaos according to his statements. Murkomen promised ruthless action against anyone planning or funding similar activities while speaking at his eighteenth grassroots security forum.
