Nkaissery Interdicts Garissa Top Cops And Administration Chiefs Over Terror Attack

Nine security and administrative officers in Garissa have been interdicted after investigations revealed that they not only failed to prevent the April 2 terrorist attack but also bungled the operation.

Northeastern Regional Coordinator Ernest Munyi, Garissa County Commissioner Njenga Miiri and seven senior police officers were on Tuesday interdicted over the attack that claimed 148 lives and a second investigation launched to establish their criminal culpability.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery said that following the terrorist attack, a preliminary probe on the conduct of individual police commanders and administrative officers was undertaken by a team from his office and that of the Inspector-General of Police.

The team was to inquire into the performance of respective security committees responsible for the coordination of security in Garissa County and the northeastern region as a whole.

“After perusing the reports of the two teams, I am convinced of the need for thorough investigations into the terrorist attack on the Garissa University College to establish possible criminal culpability of individual officers or relevant security committees.

He said that to facilitate an independent investigation into the Garissa terrorist attack, he had interdicted Mr Munyi and Mr Miiri.

The minister also directed the Inspector General of Police to take steps and interdict Garissa AP Commander Christopher Muthee, Garissa CID boss Musa Yego, Garissa County Commander Charles Wambugu and Garissa OCPD Benjamin Ongombe.

Mr Ongombe was found to have withdrawn a metal detector from the Tana Bridge without consulting the sub-county security committee.

The departments headed by both Mr Yego and Mr Kimanzi were found to be riddled with corruption, and that they deliberately failed to tame it.

Also to be interdicted are Sub-County Commander John Cheruiyot Sawe, the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit boss, Chief Inspector Nicholas Mutuku Kimanzi, and the Garissa Police Station deputy OCS, Inspector Charles Ayoro.

He added that the police boss had appointed an investigating team that will work with the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to carry out investigations and take necessary steps as soon as possible.

He warned all security officers to take their work seriously, saying that they would be held to account.

MINISTER DEFENDS SELF

“Each and every one of them will be held personally accountable for the acts of omission or commission that endanger the lives and property of Kenyans,” he warned.

The minister, however, defended his actions and justified his flying to Garissa very early in the morning.

“The response was proper. The chopper we took to Garissa could only carry four people. I wanted to be on the ground,” he said.

The report on the probe revealed that most of the senior commanders were not within the county despite earlier reports that the place was likely to be hit.

The university college was a likely target since it was mainly frequented by a non-Muslim population.

The police boss has also been directed to award the entire Recce squad team and four officers who were guarding the college.

The four officers have been identified as AP constables Hassan Kuli Hassan and Nicholas Mutai, and Kenya Police constables Wycliffe Chepkonga and Reuben Khaemba.

Also to be awarded are two officers who were injured, identified as AP Sergeant Mohamed Juma and AP Constable Musa Naftali, and also the two officers who died during the attack.
