The Ministry of Interior has revealed data showing social media as a key driver behind the rise in mob justice cases across Kenya. Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen explained that graphic 'instant justice' videos circulating on platforms trigger copycat incidents and normalize violence as a dispute resolution method. The government plans public education campaigns and police training to address the issue.
