Kenyan CS Murkomen Questions Police in High-Profile Murder Case

Kenyan Cabinet Secretary Questions Police Handling of High-Profile Murder Investigation Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, Kithure Kindiki Murkomen, has publicly questioned the effectiveness of the ongoing investigation into the murder of Albert Omondi Okwang. During a parliamentary session on June 11th, 2025, Murkomen expressed his frustration with the lack of information provided to him regarding the case. He specifically criticized the Inspector General of Police and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for their handling of the investigation. "The constitution did not give me the eyes to see who is culpable," Murkomen stated, emphasizing the importance of the independence of investigative authorities. "Those eyes have been given to the investigator authorities under 245 of the constitution." Murkomen's comments highlight growing public concern about the transparency and efficiency of the investigation. The murder of Albert Omondi Okwang has already sparked significant public debate, and Murkomen's intervention is likely to further intensify this discussion. The Cabinet Secretary's assurance that his ministry will work to ensure there is no interference or cover-up in the investigation offers a degree of reassurance. The ongoing investigation remains a key focus for Kenyans, and Murkomen's statements underscore the importance of a thorough and transparent process to bring those responsible to justice.
