Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has stated that police officers asking for fuel should not be seen as corruption, attributing the requests to insufficient government fuel allocations. He announced a review of the current system and warned against handling defilement cases in kangaroo courts.

• The government currently allocates 450 litres of fuel per police vehicle monthly, which is often depleted by the 18th of the month.
• Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen made these remarks during the Jukwaa La Usalama forum in Homa Bay town.
• Proposals are underway to increase the monthly fuel allocation to 650 litres, and Murkomen sternly warned chiefs against shielding perpetrators of defilement cases, stating they would be dismissed and prosecuted.
