Murkomen Warns of Goon Crackdown as Three Youths Shot at Mombasa Campaign Event - August 2026

Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen has directed security agencies to take proactive steps to prevent political rallies from being disrupted by goons, including arresting their facilitators before they can act. This warning comes amid heightened political tensions ahead of the 2027 General Election. Three youths were shot and several others injured during a meeting addressed by Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir at Bomu Stadium on Friday, August 21, following a confrontation between the governor's security team and attendees. In a related development, Murkomen has accused Siaya Governor James Orengo and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino of mobilizing youth, warning that the governor could face prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged use of goons.
