Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Murkomen has publicly defended the terrorism charges filed against protesters involved in recent demonstrations, asserting that the actions of some demonstrators amounted to terrorism. He criticized the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) for allegedly shielding terror suspects and opposing the charges. Murkomen also warned police officers against engaging in criminal acts and incitement against the government. Meanwhile, activist and singer Reuben Kigame has filed a petition seeking the prosecution of Murkomen, alongside other senior security officials including the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and Inspector General (IG) Kanja, over alleged crimes against humanity and police brutality during the Gen Z-led protests. Kigame is pursuing private prosecution and has requested intervention from the International Criminal Court (ICC). Critics, including activists, have accused the government of misusing anti-terrorism laws to target protesters and have called for an immediate halt to these prosecutions, expressing concerns over the broad global definition of terrorism.
