Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has firmly stated that the Kenyan government does not hire or deploy "goons" to disrupt public functions, asserting that all security operations are handled by the trained National Police Service.

• The Cabinet Secretary emphasized that the government relies on its properly trained police officers, not irregular groups, to manage situations lawfully.
• Murkomen acknowledged the prevalence of "goonism," a loosely organized form of hired disruption often associated with political events, and warned against its persistence in the country's political culture.
• He assured that the government is actively arresting suspects involved in such activities and dismantling the networks that facilitate their recruitment and financing, while also highlighting a general decline in major crimes under the current administration.
