Why Kindiki, Murkomen need state protection after cabinet dismissal; Nelson Havi
Nelson Havi says Former CS Kindiki and Murkomen need state protection after cabinet dismissal due to public anger
Nelson Havi says Former CS Kindiki and Murkomen need state protection after cabinet dismissal due to public anger.
Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president Nelson Havi argues former Cabinet Secretaries Kithure Kindiki (Interior) and Kipchumba Murkomen (Roads and Transport) might bear the brunt of excesses by an angered public.
He, therefore, advised that the two be assigned state security.
According to Havi, the conduct of Kindiki and Murkomen while in their crucial dockets, registered them in the bad books of Kenyans.
They might, therefore, be physically harmed if spotted in the public, the lawyer suggested.
Nelson Havi asked the two ex-CSs to consider engaging their rural police stations for security measures.
“It is not safe for some of the fired CSs, especially the one for Interior and Transport, to be in public. Like Ian Njoroge, they may be harmed by their victims. They should be protected in a police station of their home sub-location. We are a country governed by the rule of law,” said Havi.
On his part, Ahmednasir asked the members of President William Ruto’s Cabinet who were recently dismissed not to consider a comeback in the government.
The lawyer implied that it would be imprudent for the ex-CSs to take back the posts, given the public’s lack of confidence in their suitability to occupy the offices.

He asked them to decline any offer for a government post even at the invitation of President William Ruto.
To clearly state their stances, Ahmednasir asked the former Cabinet members to address their letters to the president stating their disinterest in sitting in the National Executive.
“I’m waiting for members of President Ruto’s dismissed cabinet to show the act of utmost patriotism and write an open letter to President William Ruto expressly telling him not to reconsider/reappoint them to the cabinet. They further must inform him that if he ignores their wishes and appointments them, they will openly decline such appointments,” said Ahmednasir on X.
Reacting to the recent surprise purge by the president, the lawyer said it was earth-shaking.
On July 11, Ruto sent home all Cabinet Secretaries and Attorney General Justin Muturi, citing feedback from an unimpressed Kenyan public.
Only Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi was spared in the purge.
