'Chaos, Violence, Looting & Disruption of Transport' Only Worsen Oil Prices Situation: Kenyan Govt
"Even though our Constitution protects the right to demonstrate and picket, it is quite unfortunate that today's protests have, once again, been hijacked by political actors for political ends," Kenyan Ministry of Interior and National Administration said in the press statement.
Key points from the press statement:
🟠 Looting of a supermarket owned by a pro-government MP, burning of a UDA office, and torching of two trucks at a flagship project were "a calculated move to spread fear;"
🟠 There's "a clear scheme where a section of the political class" fans "intolerance and ethnic bigotry;"
🟠 Government will "intensify the fight against organized crime and its sponsors."
"We shall hold you personally responsible for the lives lost and property destroyed as result of your statements," the ministry warned political leaders who incite violence.
