Dr. Ekuru Aukot, the leader of Thirdway Alliance, criticized President William Ruto for his silence on contentious remarks made by members of his cabinet, particularly regarding police orders related to protests.

• Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen stated that "shoot-to-kill orders" had been sanctioned from a higher authority, which Aukot interpreted as a signal of presidential complicity.
• Aukot emphasized that leaders are prioritizing personal interests over the nation's welfare, describing the current political landscape as rife with “political conmanship.”
• He condemned limitations on public access to government institutions as unconstitutional, asserting that “A police station is a public place” and citizens should not be obstructed.

Raila Odinga, leader of the Orange Democratic Movement, has criticized Kipchumba Murkomen, Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary, over his controversial shoot-to-kill directive for police, suggesting it is unconstitutional.

• 19 people lost their lives during recent protests, with numerous others injured.
• Raila Odinga condemned Murkomen's directive, emphasizing that police should arrest rather than kill.
• Murkomen has since retracted the order, claiming his comments were misinterpreted as a legal statement on police rights.
