National Liberal Party leader Dr. Augustus Muli has launched a scathing attack on the government following alleged violence in Mwingi, accusing the regime of failing in its constitutional duty to protect citizens. In a strongly worded statement, Muli described the attacks as evidence of a government that is either “complicit or completely incapable” of guaranteeing the safety and security of Kenyans. “This government has failed completely and dangerously.

Enough is enough. This regime must be held accountable,” he added. The opposition leader furthe...
