Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kipchumba Murkomen has dismissed claims that legal or policy gaps led to the killing of Albert Ojwang, instead accusing police of ignoring clear constitutional safeguards.

Speaking before the Senate on Tuesday, June 11, Murkomen said Ojwang’s death was not caused by the absence of guidelines but by “blatant disregard of the law.”
