Human rights activist Hussein Khalid has accused the Kenyan government of intentionally shielding politician-sponsored criminal gangs and threatened to sue police commanders who fail to act against them.

• Khalid alleges authorities are deliberately avoiding arrests and that police may be complicit with the gangs.
• The Executive Director of Vocal Africa pointed to the introduction of "goons" during the Gen Z-led protests of 2024 and 2025 as an example of politically motivated chaos.
• He warned that any police commander failing to act against these groups will be held accountable and sued.
