Civil society groups call for crackdown on criminal networks ahead of 2027 polls

Civil society organisations in Mombasa County have urged the Interior Ministry to intensify efforts to dismantle organised criminal networks, warning that the 2027 General Election may not be free, fair and peaceful if the trend persists. The activists also called for swift and thorough investigations into the attack at All Saints Cathedral, demanding the arrest and prosecution of those behind the violence, including alleged financiers and political sponsors.
