Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen this evening visited artist Rachel Wandetto who was attacked and injured for expressing her political opinion.
The CS said Ms Wandeto had suffered significant burns and that doctors were giving her the best care possible.
He condemned the attack, saying the Constitution allows for free expression of political opinion that cannot be taken away by anybody.
“We will take all measures to rein in divisive and incendiary political rhetoric, which is spreading hate and radicalization,” he said.
He condemn what he termed as barbaric act that has no place in the society saying that investigative agencies are working hard to establish the motive and bring to book the perpetrators of the heinous act
“Whatever the motive, no Kenyan should go through such an ordeal because of her beliefs.” he lamented
Murkomen said whatever the motive of the attack may have been, no Kenyan should be harmed because of his or her beliefs.
“We wish Rachel a quick recovery and grace to her family as they come to terms with this dreadful act. The Government, led by H.E. President William Ruto, will assist the family to ensure Rachel gets the best possible treatment,” said the CS.
