Senator Sifuna castigates Interior CS Kithure Kindiki for threatening protesters while hiding behind police.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has criticized Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki for the use of excessive force by the police during the anti-government demonstrations over the high cost of living.
Sifuna protested Kindiki’s use of police to repress the demonstrators in conflicts that have so far resulted in over 20 fatal shootings and tens more with bullet wounds.
He referred to Kindiki as someone who has even ever slaughtered a chicken but hides behind police to threaten people.
“When he says ‘Kujeni’, it’s not as if he is going to be out there in the streets… they tell us to come even with our children and wives, Kindiki knows well he is not going to be the one in the streets. He is hiding behind the police and the State’s instruments of violence,” Sifuna said Citizen TV Day Break program.

He accused Kindiki of departing from the tenets of the law, which provides freedom to demonstrate, and hiding behind the armed forces to harm Kenyans.
“It is quite shameful for someone who calls themselves a professor of law to chest thump about how he has been effective at denying people rights… he now sees himself as a man who has done a good job, he has bludgeoned children and women in their houses,” Sifuna said.
“People who are supposed to be teachers of the law like Kindiki have forgotten the oaths they took to uphold the constitution… Kindiki cannot even hold a rungu to come and beat me up, but he is talking like that because he can hide behind the police. Shame on you!”
He added: “We wish we saw the same type of eloquence for a plan on how to get this economy.”
