Turncoat Police Slow Down War On ‘Mungiki’

Police collaborators are frustrating the administration’s efforts to annihilate Mungiki, a senior Government official said yesterday.

But Nairobi Provincial Commissioner Francis Sigei said the Government had had enough and gave “the rogue officers” the “last warning”.

By either assisting or looking the other way, the officers had made it “difficult to stop the orgy of violence and murder” by the banned sect and must face the consequences.

Said Mr Sigei: “You either support Mungiki or support the Government. If you are with Mungiki, you better resign before we catch you.”

Addressing a Press conference before chairing a security intelligence meeting, the PC said: “We are not going to allow anyone living on blood money to taint the Government’s name.”

He said the Government was determined to hunt down the Mungiki followers until they surrender. There was no way the adherents could win the war, he said.

“We are sending a strong signal that they will not win this war. We are going full-blast to hunt them down,” he said.

However, he reassured those who have surrendered and denounced the sect that they would be protected.

He announced that about 100 Mungiki followers had been arrested in Nairobi since a crackdown on them started at the weekend.

He said 74 suspects were being held at the Central Police Division and the rest in Buru Buru Police Division.

The meeting was attended, among others, by the Provincial Police Officer, Mr King’ori Mwangi, the Provincial CID boss, Mr Francis Githui, the officer in charge of traffic, Ms Grace Amatta, and district officers.

Mr Sigei announced that a crackdown on matatus flouting traffic rules had netted more than 350 vehicles in the last three days and that 200 had been impounded on Monday, 142 on Tuesday and another 10 by 11am yesterday.

He also warned about bars operating illegally and playing loud music. He again pointed fingers at the police, chiefs and district officers, saying some abetted law-breaking through corruption.

“Some officers have been part of the problem. They must stop corrupt practices or we’ll stop them,” said Mr Sigei.
