This comes after CS Kindiki on Monday directed the law enforcement officers to investigate, arrest, and prosecute those causing mayhem at political parties.
The Interior CS also asked them to investigate and bring to book those sponsoring chaos at political events.
“The security team is also tasked to reign in on incidents of disorderly conduct in political meetings, conclude investigations and apprehend the organisers, financiers and perpetrators of hooliganism in the County, regardless of their political or social standing,” Kindiki directed.
This is after President William Ruto encountered a hostile crowd over the weekend during his tour of Bomet and Kericho counties.
In the two incidents, hecklers booed Governor Erick Mutai and Governor Hillary Barchok forcing President Ruto to intervene.
DP Rigathi Gachagua also read a riot act to the Rift Valley leaders over the two incidents.
