‘Public servants Who Oppose Gov’t Will Be Fired!’ – CS Murkomen Declares
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has now stated that no public servant should publicly oppose the government of the day, warning that such conduct is both criminal and unconstitutional.
Murkomen, speaking on Monday at the Jukwaa la Usalama Narok chapter, stated that public personnel must accept the current administration, regardless of their own political views.
“Hakuna chief, or Assistant Chief, or a police officer, atapatikana akiongea mambo against the government of the day. Hakuna. It is illegal and unconstitutional,” he said.
The Interior Secretary stressed that political activism and partisan sloganeering had no place in public service.
“Tukipata police officer anatusi rais, anaimba slogans za siasa, na ati bado anataka kuserve the government of the day…na anaongea huko ati ako na political right…,” Murkomen stated.

“Anaita President Kasongo…ama anaimba vitu za ‘one term’…that police officer or public servant should be fired immediately.”
He went on to say that the idea applies not only to the Kenya Kwanza administration led by President William Ruto, but to all previous and future governments.
“And I’m not saying because of this government, even the previous government and the government to come…lazima ukichoose to serve in public service, you must respect the government,” he said.

“Utapiga kure penye utapigia, na hakuna mtu atakuuliza…but you cannot participate in campaigns and sloganeering.”
Murkomen stated that public officials are responsible for understanding and implementing the government’s policies while in office.
“Yours is to understand the government of the day, policies of the day and their implementation,” he said.
The remarks come after Jackson Kuria, alias ‘Cop Shakur’, a warder at the Kamiti Maximum Prison, was fired following his fierce criticism of the President Ruto government and support of the Gen Z-led protests.
