INTERIOR SECURITY UPDATE


The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Kipchumba Murkomen, has affirmed that Thursday, June 25, 2026, will remain a normal working and school day despite planned demonstrations.
Key points from the statement include:
The government recognizes and respects the constitutional right of Kenyans to peacefully assemble, demonstrate, picket, and present petitions as guaranteed under Article 37 of the Constitution.
Police have received notification of the planned protests and are prepared to provide security and guide demonstrators to ensure peaceful conduct.
Protest organizers and participants have been urged to remain peaceful and unarmed and to operate within the law.
The government warns that some political actors are allegedly attempting to infiltrate the protests by mobilizing gangs, criminals, and armed individuals to cause violence, loot businesses, and attack innocent civilians.
Security agencies, including the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), are investigating reports of individuals sponsoring violent activities, and those found responsible will face legal action.
Police have been directed to protect both peaceful protesters and members of the public conducting their normal activities.
Parents are encouraged to send children to school, and businesses are encouraged to operate normally, with the government emphasizing the constitutional rights to education and lawful economic activity.
Peaceful protesters are advised to distance themselves from any criminals or violent groups to enhance their safety and enable police to enforce the law effectively.
The government dismissed claims that it supports or works with criminal gangs, insisting that police have been instructed to deal firmly with all criminals without favoritism.
The public has been urged to cooperate with law enforcement to maintain peace, order, and constitutional values.
The statement concludes with a call for national unity and peace as the country marks the anniversary of the 2025 Gen Z protests.
