The Orange Democratic Movement(ODM) has expressed concern over the safety and well-being of Kisii county governor Simba Arati and has issue a 14-day ultimatum to Inspector General of Police Japheth Koome to take action.

ODM have issued a statement condemning the broad day attack witnessed a couple of days ago where unknown people believed to be supporters of South Mugirango Member of Parliament Silvanus Osoro caused chaos at an event where Governor Arati was issuing Bursary to residents of the constituency.

The party’s Secretary General and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has called on the Inspector General to transfer the kisii county Police Commander and Summon MP Silvanus Osoro for questioning over the attack meted on Governor Arati.

“Action be taken against the officers identified in the attack. They should be interdicted as they await their date with Justice. At the very minimum Osoro should be asked to record a statement if he is too powerful to be arrested,” demanded the ODM Secretary General.

“We take note of the loud silence of the CS in charge of national security and the inspector general of police.

“It is this silence, coupled with the fact that no action has been taken against the goons in police uniforms that leads us to the conclusion this is state-sponsored violence approved at the highest level of the security command,” Sifuna stated.

The Kisii County security team earlier in the week led by County Commissioner Tom Anjere equally condemned the Nyakembene incident, saying that the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) officers are on the ground doing their work.
