Deputy President Kindiki Warns Politicians Funding Criminal Gangs - July 2026

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has issued a stern warning against politicians and individuals funding criminal gangs whose activities disrupt peace and security in Kenya. This warning comes as religious leaders increasingly call for action against goonism. Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit has urged the nation's leadership to take decisive action against the escalating problem of goonism that endangers Kenya's stability. Separately, an open letter addressed to the President demands action against rising goonism and insecurity, while another story questions what the government's plan is to address criminal gangs and political violence.
