CS Murkomen assures international partners of peaceful 2027 elections

Speaking during a meeting with Refugee Donor Group heads of mission and other international partners in Nairobi, Murkomen said preparations cover campaigns, voting, counting, the declaration of results and the post-election period.

He expressed confidence that the country would remain peaceful, arguing that isolated incidents during political campaigns were sometimes blown out of proportion but remained manageable.

The meeting also reviewed the implementation of the Shirika Plan, the government’s 12-year roadmap to transform refugee camps into integrated, self-reliant municipalities.

Murkomen thanked the donor group for its continued support, citing progress in social protection, financial inclusion, access to health insurance and the rollout of municipal governance.

He said registered refugees holding refugee identification cards can now access M-Pesa services, allowing them to participate more fully in the digital economy.
