CS Kindiki warns politicians to stay away from Shakahola forest
Interior CS Kithure Kindiki has told opposition leader Raila Odinga to keep off from Shakahola forest as it remains a restricted area for security operations. The CS said they have gazetted Shakahola as a scene of crime and have also restricted even the media to take images of the exhumation of bodies as the government will be sued for violating human rights.
“We cannot mix national security with politics, we understand politicians and they play a key role in our democracy, but we cannot mix national security and politics,” Kindiki said.
On Friday, Raila Odinga was blocked by security officers on his way into the Shakahola forest. According to CS Kindiki, a government gazette notices only people with a crucial duty to carry in the forest, which up to now has claimed 112 innocent lives, will be allowed.
