Murkomen said he had remained restrained for a long period but now felt compelled to address what he described as reckless statements targeting senior security leadership.
According to the Interior CS, public officials carry a responsibility to uphold respect for national institutions, especially those tasked with maintaining law and order.
He argued that attacks directed at the police command risk eroding public confidence and could inflame unnecessary divisions.
Murkomen indicated he plans to seek a direct meeting with Gachagua to caution him against what he termed tribal undertones in recent comments.
Murkomen emphasized that the National Police Service operates as a professional body serving all Kenyans without bias.
He warned that politicizing security agencies or personalizing disputes involving their leadership could create tension at a time when the country requires unity.
The CS maintained that disagreements should be handled through established channels rather than public confrontations that may heighten ethnic sensitivities.
While he did not detail the specific consequences that could follow continued remarks of this nature, Murkomen made it clear that his office would not ignore statements that he views as harmful to national cohesion.
He concluded by urging leaders to weigh their words carefully, stressing that Kenya’s stability depends on mutual respect and responsible political engagement.
