The Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba Murkomen, has condemned violent acts, political goons, and their sponsors during the November 27 by-elections exercise across the country.

In a statement shared on his official X account, Murkomen said all the perpetrators and their sponsors will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

According to him, violence during the election period lowers the reputation of democracy and national stability.
