Koome urges police to target financiers of political violence

Chief Justice Martha Koome has urged law enforcement agencies to look beyond arresting hired goons and instead focus on tracking down and prosecuting those financing the attacks. Speaking in Tharaka-Nithi County during the official opening of the Maara Law Courts, CJ Koome called on police to dismantle the networks behind politically sponsored violence. Council of Governors Chairperson Muthomi Njuki said county governments would work closely with security agencies to address goonism.
