Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen asserted that the Kenyan police force now relies on technology rather than "gossip-based" information, directly refuting claims made by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

• Murkomen highlighted the launch of the Multi-Biometric Identification System and ANSI National Accreditation Board certification as key advancements.
• The Interior CS stated that these technological upgrades will strengthen investigations and prevent individuals with questionable pasts from accessing public office.
• He defended the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, and cited improvements in national security, with fewer incidents of terrorism and banditry.
