Maraga warns Homa Bay violence could foreshadow 2027 election unrest

Chief Justice Emeritus and 2027 UGM presidential aspirant David Maraga has warned that the violence witnessed in Homa Bay County is a grave warning of what could happen during the 2027 General Election. Speaking during a media briefing in Nairobi, Maraga attributed the violence to what he described as state capture of the police, alleging that political violence is being facilitated by a lack of police independence. He has given President William Ruto seven days to release the National Task Force on Police Reforms report, warning that failure to do so will prompt further action.
