Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Interior & Coordination of National Government Dr. Fred Matiang’i has issued a statement through his official twitter account regarding an amateur video recorded in Juja that exhibited a few tricks and merciless ‘techniques’ our forces graduated with after a year-plus training on how to handle riot by unarmed citizens.
Here is the statement CS Matiang’i tweeted.

Here are randomly sampled replies of Kenyans on twitter on the posts that the Cabinet Secretary had made.
Kindly allow the young man who is still held at Juja Police Station to get medical assistance.

Allan was clobbered and might be having internal bleeding, The OCS of Juja Police Station locked him up without taking him to the hospital… Inhumane… Summon Juja Police Station OCS why she acted that way

For this and other jokes… Remember the same and extra happening at Uon, then at Maseno, at MMU
Then post election. You tweeted this with a straight face? You remember what you said when this happened after elections? Trash!— Namasaka Lyna (@LDommie) November 11, 2019
In addition any person in position of responsibility, who out of commission or omission exposes, subjects, permits and or promotes the use of excessive force against persons in his lawful custody, care or responsibility as happened @DiscoverJKUAT must bear personal responsibility
