A day before the 2027 elections, all major opposition leaders, including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo Musyoka, and former CS Fred Matiang’i, are expected to be placed under house arrest.
The government is also considering shutting down the internet during this time to prevent possible unrest.
Kalenjin elders who support President William Ruto have warned that opposition leaders might try to cause chaos during the elections.
They claim the leaders could use the internet to spread false results and confuse voters.
The elders urged CS Murkomen to ensure that no opposition leader is allowed to move freely on election day. They want the leaders to remain indoors until the elections are complete and President Ruto is officially announced as the winner.
This announcement has sparked debate among Kenyans, with some seeing it as a way to maintain peace, while others worry about restrictions on freedom and access to the internet.
