Last evening, Kenyans listened to a press briefing by Mr. Kipchumba Murkomen, the CS in charge of a critical docket in the Republic of Kenya.
I am vindicated.
Kenyans are more convinced than ever before that my position has all along been true and factual; we have the most clueless Minister in charge of security since independence.
The man is lost in ideas, arguments and conclusions.
The first and most important duty of the police is deterrence of crime. Mr Murkomen argues that he has intelligence reports that goons were being organized to commit crimes today.
Interesting!
What has he done about it? If he is aware of their plans why can’t he stop them? Is he unwilling to stop them or he lacks capacity or what does he want ordinary Kenyans to do if he is crying as the CS for Interior?
Since he is aware that goons will be destroying property, will he allow it to happen then arrest people later or hold another presser and report them to Kenyans?
Why is he unwilling to give a categorical answer that police will protect property and the state-sponsored millitia that him and his colleagues have organized and will not be allowed to cause violence?
He carelessly says that politicians from the opposition are organizing goons; Why can’t he arrest these goons?
He further asserts with authority that leaders allied to Government will be attacked; I trust he has made arrangements to protect them and their properties though they already have Government armed security.
As if that isn’t unintelligent enough, he adds that some Bussinessmen will be attacked for refusing to finance politicians. Since he knows them, then he must make arrangements to protect them.
It is my take that since the Government knows goons will attack citizens and Bussiness, then it should not happen since the Government has sufficient capacity to stop it and arrest the goons while in action.
Unfortunately and sadly so, the real goons will not be arrested because they are organized by Government.
The Police have clear instructions to allow goons wreck havoc and only intervene later by arresting innocent people. Leaders in the opposition will be arrested later for allegedly financing the attacks.
There will be stage-managed attacks on leaders allied to Government and accuse opposition leaders of inciting people against them. The script is so clear. Blame the opposition and get the affected leaders some sympathy.
Let Mr. Murkomen stop the goons since he has confirmed there will be goons attacking people.
It is his work.
What does he want ordinary Kenyans to do? It will not happen. The whole thing is his plan.
He has recruited, financed and deployed the goons to cause mayhem and later blame the opposition. If he hasn’t, they there will be no goons and there will be no violence.
It is common knowledge among Kenyans, because they are intelligent, that if goons were organised by the opposition, they would not be let to get anywhere near citizens’ property. They would be shot on sight and others arrested. Goons terrorize Kenyans with impunity and never arrested because they are state goons.
That is why they move in police vehicles and walk with the police. No wonder Mr. Murkomen is so kind to them that he calls them watchmen!
And in any case, the National police service is supposed to be independent. The Minister should comment on policy. IG is in charge of operations.
Why is Mr. Murkomen discussing police operations?
He has taken over the National police service and created parallel command. He has introduced goonism in the police service. He has forced police commanders to work with goons!
Mr. Murkomen, do your work. Do not forget that ICC is beckoning you and your masters.
