Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has strongly refuted criticisms leveled by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua against the Inspector General of Police, asserting that Kenya is safer than ever due to significant government investments in security.

• Murkomen stated that Kenya is experiencing fewer incidents of terrorism, banditry, and criminal activities than at any other time, citing statistics that he claims "speak for themselves."
• Key figures involved include Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, with specific reference to Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja.
• Murkomen also urged media to verify information responsibly and encouraged doctors to record statements regarding alleged sexual crimes during the Ol Kalou by-election to aid investigations, and warned against ethnic profiling, referencing remarks made by Gachagua.
