Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has confirmed that several suspects linked to the attack on civil society groups at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi have been arrested, with more expected to be apprehended as investigators analyze CCTV footage captured during the incident.

The attack occurred on Friday when members of civil society organizations had gathered at the church for a post-budget analysis forum.

The meeting, attended by governance and human rights advocates, was disrupted by a group of individuals described by participants as hired goons, sparking widespread condemnation from religious leaders, opposition politicians, and rights groups.
