DP Gachagua Condemns Violence Against the Police During Anti-Govt... CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
Accusing the groups of discrimination, Mr Gachagua questioned why human rights activists and organisations were reluctant to call out protesters who engaged security officers with stones and other crude weapons.
"I want our leaders to know that police officers are also human beings, parents, spouses or a sibling to somebody. I have heard human rights bodies condemning police. Police officers were injured and others are in hospitals. Not a single leader from the Opposition or organisation has stood to say that it is wrong to attack or injure a police officer," said the Deputy President.
"You are protected and no harm will come to you. The situation we saw last week cannot be allowed to go on. Hooligans and arsonists went to Mombasa Road, destroyed properties, stoning vehicles and extorting motorists, snatching earrings from women, that mayhem and chaos can not be allowed to continue because this country is a rule of law," he said.
Stating that the security of the country is not negotiable, the Deputy President said the government will not allow lawlessness under whatever circumstances.
