Africa-Press – Kenya. Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula on Sunday passes a message of encouragement to Interior CS Kithure Kindiki. Speaking in Sagana, Wetang’ula told the CS to ignore the critics and remain firm in his work.
“To my friend CS Kindiki, talk less and work more. We believe in you and continue doing the good work,” he said.
Wetang’ula added that the President and the whole of Kenya Kwanza government believed in his work. Earlier, Water CS Alice Wahome also commended Kindiki for the work he had been doing as Interior boss.
“Clap for Kindiki as he is doing a great job at the Interior. Continue with the good work,” she said.
Last month, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna castigated Kindiki for the police brutality witnessed during the recent anti-government protests called by the opposition over the high cost of living.
The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition-allied Senator took issue with Kindiki’s deployment of police to counter the protesters in clashes which have so far led to the death of over 20 people and left tens more with gunshot injuries.
Calling the security minister someone who “doesn’t strike me as someone who has even ever slaughtered a chicken,” Sifuna accused Kindiki of departing from the tenets of the law, which provides freedom to demonstrate, and hiding behind the armed forces to harm Kenyans.
“When he says ‘Kujeni’, it’s not as if he is going to be out there in the streets… they tell us to come even with our children and wives, Kindiki knows well he is not going to be the one in the streets. He is hiding behind the police and the State’s instruments of violence,” Sifuna said.
