Speaking on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, during a high-level security tour of the area, Murkomen directed the Inspector General of Police and local commanders to move decisively to flush out hired goons operating in Two Rivers Crescent and Imani Estates.
The Cabinet Secretary expressed concern over reports of escalating lawlessness and land-related intimidation that have left homeowners and local residents living in constant fear.
"I have directed the Inspector General of Police to ensure that all goons are removed from Two Rivers Crescent and Imani Estates," Murkomen stated while issuing firm instructions to the local Officer Commanding Station (OCS).
Addressing allegations that armed individuals have been brandishing guns to intimidate property owners, the Interior CS ordered investigators to establish the identities of everyone using firearms in the disputed areas.
He instructed that if any of the perpetrators are licensed civilian firearm holders, due legal process must be initiated immediately to revoke their licences and prosecute them.
To resolve underlying property disputes fueling the insecurity, Murkomen directed that a verified list of genuine land title holders be compiled and forwarded to the OCS to guarantee lawful protection.
To reinforce ongoing security operations across the densely populated constituency, the Cabinet Secretary announced the deployment of additional police officers alongside an extra patrol vehicle for Ruiru Police Station to improve surveillance and emergency response times.
Murkomen was accompanied during the engagement by top national security officials, including Kenya Police Service Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat, Administration Police Service Deputy Inspector General Gilbert Masengeli, and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Mohamed Amin, as well as Ruiru MP Simon King'ara.
DIG Eliud Lagat appealed to members of the public to partner closely with law enforcement agencies by volunteering credible intelligence that can help dismantle the criminal networks before further violence occurs.
DCI Director Mohamed Amin echoed the government's firm stance, warning that security organs will not cede any ground to lawlessness and will dismantle all criminal gangs operating within the sub-county.
Residents and local leaders welcomed the high-level intervention, expressing hope that increased police patrols and strict enforcement will restore lasting peace and safeguard property rights in Ruiru.
