Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has warned that politicians have now emerged as the greatest threat to the country’s peace and stability. Murkomen said politicians have surpassed traditional security concerns such as banditry and hooliganism. Speaking during a church service at the Africa Inland Church in Kapyego, Elgeyo Marakwet county, Murkomen said the nature of insecurity in the country has shifted, with political incitement taking centre stage. “The only threat we face in our security sector is no longer banditry, it is not hooliganism and goons. The greatest threat is politicians who are bankrupt of ideas and have resorted to incitement and name-calling,” he said.
