Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen has directed security agencies to take proactive steps to prevent political rallies from being disrupted by "goons," including arresting their facilitators before they can act.

• The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is instructed to act preventively rather than waiting for incidents to occur.
• Kenyans are urged to boycott rallies organized by politicians who sponsor or associate with "goons."
• Murkomen highlighted that preventive action by the police, based on intelligence, may have averted greater loss of life during a recent rally in Homa Bay.
