Speaking amid growing political tensions, Gachagua accused Murkomen of failing in his constitutional mandate to safeguard lives and uphold the rule of law.
He cited several incidents that have sparked public outrage, including a violent attack at a church in Othaya, which he claimed remains unresolved despite national condemnation.
“Murkomen lazima aende,” Gachagua declared, arguing that the Interior CS has lost the moral authority to oversee the country’s security sector.

According to him, the continued reports of excessive force, alleged extrajudicial actions, and lack of accountability point to systemic failure within the ministry.
The former deputy president further accused the government of weaponising law enforcement agencies to intimidate political opponents and suppress dissent.
He claimed that silence from top security officials has emboldened rogue officers, eroding public trust in the police service.
Gachagua warned that failure to address the concerns could heighten national unrest. He urged Kenyans to remain vigilant and actively demand accountability from those entrusted with public safety.
His remarks come at a time of heightened political activity ahead of the 2027 General Election, with security and civil liberties emerging as key points of contention between the government and opposition figures.
While the Interior Ministry has yet to formally respond to Gachagua’s latest statement, previous government communications have maintained that security agencies operate within the law and remain committed to maintaining peace and order.
The escalating rhetoric signals a deepening political confrontation, as leaders increasingly frame the national conversation around governance, human rights, and the independence of security institutions.
