Murkomen, who was accompanied by Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and other senior security officials, visited Rachel at KNH where doctors informed him that she had suffered significant burns but was receiving the best care possible.
The government's presence at her bedside was not merely symbolic. Murkomen made it clear that President Ruto's administration would assist Rachel's family directly to ensure she gets the best possible treatment throughout her recovery.
The pledge carries weight at a moment when Rachel's medical needs are urgent and her family is navigating a situation they never anticipated.
Doctors at KNH have already been working to stabilize her condition, and with the government now formally involved in ensuring her care, the financial and logistical burden on her family is expected to ease significantly.
Murkomen was unequivocal in his condemnation of the attack, describing it as barbaric and having absolutely no place in Kenyan society.
He reaffirmed that Kenya's Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to free political expression, and that no one should suffer violence for simply choosing who they support.
He also confirmed that investigative agencies were actively pursuing the perpetrators and working to establish the full motive behind the attack.
For Rachel and her family, the government's visible commitment is a meaningful development. Whatever political noise surrounds her story, she is first and foremost a Kenyan citizen who was attacked in broad daylight, and the President has made clear that his government will not look away.
