Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has condemned the attack on Deputy President William Ruto's motorcade on Saturday, confirming that eight suspects have been arrested in connection to the incident.
Speaking in Ol Kalau, Nyandarua where he was attending a church service at Trinity United Methodist Church, Dr. Matiang'i said the government will not condone political intolerance as the country heads towards the 2022 general elections.
"The government will adopt zero tolerance on anyone disrupting political gatherings because all politicians are free to visit any place in the country. We have arrested eight suspects in connection with the Saturday incident and police are still hunting for more. I urge security agents to act fairly and demonstrate neutrality when handling political gatheri.ngs,” stated D.r Matiang’i.
DP Ruto's motorcade was pleated with stones in Nambale , Busia County.
The CS further directed the police to be firm when dealing with cases of intolerance warning them against taking sides.
" We are approaching a season where people get excited and we are going to do all we can to have a free, fair, and peaceful election," added Dr. Matiang'i who was flanked by ICT CS Joe Mucheru, Water CS Sicily Kariuki and Sports CAS Zack Kinuthia.
