Kalonzo warns of rising goonism, political pressure on churches

He particularly called for greater transparency in police and military recruitment, insisting that security agencies must reflect Kenya's diversity and remain free from political and ethnic influence.

Kalonzo also questioned the conduct of security agencies, expressing concern over what he described as excessive force against citizens and political leaders.

Speaking during a church service at the Salvation Army Church in Tala, Matungulu Constituency, Machakos County, Kalonzo praised the church for maintaining its independence and integrity despite what he termed efforts by the government to compromise some church leaders.
