Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said what unfolded in parts of the country was terrorism disguised as dissent.
He also promised action on the planners and executors.
“There was no peaceful demonstration, it was riots, chaos and anarchy,” he said.
“This was not just violence. It was an orchestrated campaign of terror, an assault on our people, our Constitution, our institutions, our values, and the very soul of this Republic.”
He added what was billed as a peaceful protest was, in truth, a calculated disguise, a coordinated descent into chaos masked as civic expression.
Beneath the banner of democratic rights, we witnessed a well-orchestrated campaign of political violence.
