PS Kibichio Orders Crackdown On Hecklers In Political Rallies

Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho has ordered a crack down on hired hooligans disrupting political events across the country ahead of the August 9 polls.

Speaking in Kirinyaga, Kibicho called on government administrators to work closely with other security agencies to weed out the habit of hiring youth groups to disrupt political gatherings.

The PS said that intelligence gathering had linked the hired groups to the recent attempts to disrupt rallies in Kirinyaga county.

The Interior PS accused some leaders in Kirinyaga county  of enlisting  youth to use chaos in campaign meetings organized by rival contestants.

Kibicho called on Kenyans  to exercise political tolerance by granting audience to competing candidates and making informed choices in the August 9 polls.
