President William Ruto has directed Kenyan security agencies to actively pursue and hold accountable individuals who finance, organize, and recruit youths for political violence, emphasizing that sponsors, not just perpetrators, must face consequences.

• The order was issued during the passing-out ceremony of 10,000 police recruits at Kiganjo, ahead of the August 10, 2027 General Election.
• The National Police Service and other security agencies are tasked with taking firm, lawful, and impartial action against all involved in political violence.
• President Ruto stressed that politically sponsored violence and the use of private militias have no place in Kenya's democracy, advocating for competition based on ideas rather than intimidation.
