Comments by Chief of Defence Forces (KDF) Gen Charles Kahariri and the Director National Intelligence Service (NIS) Noordin Haji to the effect that the two security units are opening up to the public and getting involved in civic matters have generated a hot debate.

Civil society groups and a section of leaders have expressed outrage over political statements made by, especially, Gen Kahariri.

Busia Senator Okiya Omutata said he and his fellow activists are deeply concerned by the remarks of the CDF about the Ruto Must Go slogan that has been spreading in several parts of the country.
