Nandi governor Stephen Sang has slammed critics of Kenya Kwanza Kwanza government to seat down and watch them fix the messes they created while in power.
Speaking in Uasin Gishu County at Kapseret, Sang told the opposition and critics of President William Ruto, not to give out lectures, as they also failed to uphold human rights currently a menace in the country as police are openly brutally dealing with peaceful protesters.
“We are asking the previous administration and those elements that were part of the previous administration…. We are fixing your mess, and as we fix it, the only thing you can do is to keep your cool and watch us fix your mess. Don’t give us lectures yet we are fixing the mess that you left our country in,” Sang remarked.
The governor called out the opposition led by former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua for sabotaging the governments efforts, as well as along with his team, frustrating the independent investigation of X blogger Albert Ojwang’, who died at Nairobi Central Police Station after an arrest order made by DIG Eliud Lagat, over defamation remarks made by the deceased blogger.
According to him, the investigating team led by the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), should also probe them on their hidden motive on the death of Ojwang’.
“For anybody who is against independent investigation into the murder of Albert Ojwang, we must investigate what they know about the murder!” Sang further stated.
Similar sentiments were made by Principal Secretary (PS) Raymond Omollo, who warned political leaders against agitating over Ojwang’s death to advance their political agenda, as the killers of Ojwang’ are known and under investigation.
As Ruto allies continue to defend him, Kenyans are faulting the administration for allowing police officers to use excessive force against the protesters demanding justice for victims of police brutality across the country. Similar concerns were raised by former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala, after his driver was allegedly assaulted by the police.
On Tuesday, Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), reported that 22 people sustained injuries during protests ranging from gunshot wounds, blunt trauma, asthma attacks from inhaling teargas, whip lashes and head cuts in Kilifi, Mombasa and Nairobi.
