Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang\u2019i has made serious allegations over the violence witnessed in Homa Bay County during an engagement involving Linda Mwananchi leaders.<\/p>\n
Matiang\u2019i claimed that the level of \u201cgoonism\u201d witnessed during the incident was not spontaneous but was allegedly planned, with the knowledge of President William Ruto and the National Intelligence Service (NIS).<\/p>\n
The former CS described the reported events as a worrying development in Kenya\u2019s political environment, raising questions about the safety of opposition leaders and the government\u2019s commitment to protecting political freedoms.<\/p>\n

Matiang\u2019i\u2019s remarks are likely to intensify political debate over the Homa Bay incident, particularly amid heightened political activity ahead of the 2027 General Election.<\/p>\n
