He affirmed that the government will not tolerate incitement of wananchi, stressing that while criticism is welcomed, it must be coupled with constructive solutions.
The Commission also said that it is documenting all the public utterances made by the leaders supporting the breakdown of the rule of law in the country adding that at the right time, they will all be held accountable.
“The KHRC demands the immediate release of Ichung’wah, Kingi, Kamket, Sudi, Murkomen, Waluke, and DP Kindiki from their state offices over their utterances supporting abductions. The KHRC also calls for an impartial and thorough investigation into their statements and potential involvement in the abductions and extrajudicial killings of state critics,” the statement said.
A lobby group has demanded the resignation of Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, and a host of MPs for allegedly endorsing abductions in the country.
Also required to resign are National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichungwa, Tiaty MP William Kamket, his Kapsaret counterpart Oscar Sudi, and Sirisia MP John Waluke Sirisia.
