<\/p>\nContent creator Sammie Kioko has strongly criticised what he describes as a growing trend of organised groups being used to fuel political violence, warning that the situation is both dangerous and unacceptable.<\/p>\n
In a post shared on Instagram on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, Kioko said violence stemming from political differences reflects a deeper failure in leadership and society. He emphasised that no individual should face harm for expressing their views.<\/p>\n
\u201cViolence over political differences is not good, it\u2019s failure. No one deserves to be beaten,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Rising fears over intimidation<\/p>\n
Kioko pointed to recent incidents as evidence of a troubling pattern, alleging that certain groups are being mobilised to intimidate and silence dissenting voices through fear and force.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we are seeing is the rise of organised intimidation \u2014 goons trying to silence voices through fear and brutality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He stressed that the issue goes beyond political disagreement, describing such actions as criminal and a direct violation of fundamental rights. According to him, the use of violence to control opinions undermines freedoms and creates a climate of fear across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not just wrong, it\u2019s criminal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Call for accountability<\/p>\n
Kioko urged authorities to act swiftly, calling for those involved to be identified and arrested without delay. He warned that failure to take decisive action could embolden further acts of violence.<\/p>\n
\u201cAuthorities must act decisively to identify, arrest, and hold every perpetrator accountable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also underscored the importance of safeguarding free expression, noting that every citizen has the right to speak without fear of attack. According to Kioko, remaining silent in the face of such incidents only allows the problem to escalate.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery citizen deserves to speak freely without fear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Push for justice<\/p>\n
Concluding his remarks, Kioko called for urgent action, warning that delays in justice risk eroding public trust and enabling the spread of fear.<\/p>\n
\u201cJustice cannot wait, and silence cannot be an option,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
