Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party Leader Oburu Oginga has condemned what he termed the rising culture of political “goonism” in Kenya, warning that hired violence is undermining democracy and threatening public safety.
Speaking at State House, Nairobi, during the presentation of the Framework for Reparations for Victims of Human Rights Violations to President William Ruto by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), Oburu said the country is witnessing a dangerous trend where politicians allegedly hire groups to disrupt public meetings and political gatherings.
“We have very many goons. Almost every politician nowadays recruits goons to disrupt functions. Goons are being hired by both sides. This culture of goonism must be stopped completely,” he said.
