Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen has told off the National Security Advisory Council which is led by Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua.

Taking to his official Twitter account on Wednesday October 7, 2020, the former senate Majority Leader argued that there is no such legal or constitutional body known as National Security Advisory Committee.

The lawmaker who argued that the council is playing around with the security of Kenyans claimed that the National Security Council members cannot even meet because of internal fights among them.

“There is no such legal/Constitutional body known as National Security Advisory Committee. Assuming there was one then it would only advice the National Security Council.NSC cannot obviously meet because of internal fights among its members. Stop playing politics with our security,” he tweeted.

Murkomen’s argued came just minutes after the Kinyua-led security team warned leaders taking advantage of vulnerable youth in pursuit of political interests.

Kinyua in his statement said the situation has created fear, despondency and political uncertainty.

His statement came just two days after youths caused chaos at Kenol in Murang’a County, ahead of Deputy President William Ruto’s church event in the area.

Two people were killed, several others sustained serious injuries and property of unknown value is said to have been destroyed.

Mr. Kinyua criticised leaders saying unchecked utterances and political weaponization of public gatherings continue to undermine law and order within the country.

“This disregard of the law has triggered violent confrontations among different groupings, thus threatening national security,” he added.

Consequently, the Chairman announced that the National Security Advisory Council resolved that leaders intending to hold a public gathering must notify the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) of such intent 3-14 days before gathering.

They will also be required to be present at such a meeting and help police in maintaining order, ensuring that they orders given by the OCS.
