Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba Murkomen, has issued a stern warning that politicians sponsoring violent gangs will face arrest and prosecution once sufficient evidence is gathered. This comes as opposition leaders have accused President William Ruto's administration of a rise in political violence and demanded impartial policing ahead of the Ol Kalou by-election. The High Court has temporarily halted the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)'s Sh1.5 million penalty against Kipipiri MP Wanjiku Muhia. Additionally, the IEBC has rejected an application by Nakuru Town East MP David Gikaria to postpone a voter bribery case hearing.
