Interior CS Kindiki accuse his predecessor Matiang’i of lying about police night raid
Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kithure Kindiki has painted his predecessor Fred Matiang’i as a pathological liar saying claims of alleged night police raid at the latter’s residence in Nairobi’s Karen surbub last night are untrue and “utterly false.”
This allegation is utterly false. No police officer(s) or any security agent from any Government institution or department was dispatched to the home of Dr. Matiang’i to arrest, harass or otherwise interfere with his Constitutional rights in any manner whatsoever. I have confirmed with the command of the National Police Service (NPS), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (Eacc), the Kenya Revenue Authority(KRA) and all law enforcement agencies that none of them have any orders to look for the former minister.” Kndiki said through a quick dispatch to newsrooms.
In what paints an image that the government is not even aware of the alleged raid and regards the claims as hot air, Kindiki urge anyone with information relating to the allaged raid to report to nearest police station for investigations to begin.
Effectively, no formal complaint with regard to the matter has commenced so far.
He said Kenya’s security agencies remain apolitical and focused on addressing the security challenges the country is facing.
Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome also dismissed the claims as unfounded.
