Interior CS Fred Matiangi has condemned the attack on Deputy President William Ruto’s tour of the Western Region on Saturday.
Several vehicles from Ruto's motorcade were destroyed when a section of youth protested his tour of Busia Town.
Speaking during the launch of Trinity TV and Radio in Ol-Kalau on Sunday, Matiang’i directed Busia County Commissioner to work closely and urgently with police to identify organisers and perpetrators of the disruption.
He ordered for the immediate arrest and arraignment of the organisers and perpetrators of the violent disruption.
Eight suspects have already been arrested in connection to the violence.
The culprits were youth who were chanting pro-ODM slogans as they threw stones at the DP’s motorcade.
Matiang'i cautioned that the government will have no tolerance on anyone disrupting political gatherings.
He said political leaders and aspirants are free to move anywhere in the country.
The CS urged security agents to act fairly and demonstrate neutrality when handling political gatherings.
His sentiments were echoed by Police IG Hillary Mutiambai who urged Kenyans to shun acts of violence as the country approached the electioneering phase.
"We shall take firm and decisive action against those involved in acts of election-related criminality irrespective of their age and standing in society," Mutiambai said.
