CS Kithure Kindiki made a statement on Wednesday warning Kenyans from participating in violent protests, stating that the police will stop them at “any costs.”
Prof. Kindiki warned that violent incidents during the demonstrations on two consecutive Mondays, including looting, the damage of public property, and disruption of normal life, could plunge the nation into chaos.
“Nowhere in Kenya shall there be permitted any further violent protests. Demonstrations and protests of any kind that harm individuals, security personnel, businesses, or property must be avoided at all costs, according to Prof. Kindiki, whether they are forewarned or not.
“Our country’s stability and the rule of law are under great risk as a result of the current scenario. Violence, theft, vandalism of public property, disturbance of daily life, and invasions of private property all foretell a real and impending risk that our nation may descend into uncontrollable chaos. These unlawful activities must stop.
