Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has urged Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to conduct a decisive crackdown on political goons, regardless of their political affiliation.

• Kindiki instructed Murkomen to deploy the same vigour used against North Rift bandits to address political disruptors hired by politicians from both the government and the opposition.
• This directive follows an incident where goons allegedly torched a vehicle belonging to Siaya Governor James Orengo during a rally in Migori.
• Murkomen promised to address "goonism with finality," stating that "this kind of behaviour must stop."

Kenya Kwanza leaders have strongly criticized opposition figures for their attacks on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). The ruling coalition asserts the IEBC must be allowed to operate independently without political interference, particularly as the nation approaches the 2027 General Elections.

• Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot defended the IEBC's right to work autonomously.
• Narok Woman Representative Rebecca Tonkei suggested opposition leader Rigathi Gachagua is panicking about the upcoming elections.
• Other Kenya Kwanza leaders, including MP Japheth Nyakundi and aide Farouk Kibet, praised President Ruto's leadership and attacked Gachagua's capabilities.

Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has issued a stern warning against rising "goonism" and excessive force by security agencies, alongside growing political pressure on religious institutions in Kenya.

• Musyoka cited the reported attack on Siaya Governor James Orengo as a serious concern regarding the government's commitment to democracy.
• He urged churches to maintain their independence and continue to be a "voice of truth, justice and accountability."
• Musyoka also called for transparency and fairness in recruitment into security agencies, emphasizing the need for them to reflect Kenya's diversity and remain free from political influence.
