Nairobi, Kenya: President Uhuru Kenyatta Tuesday refuted claims that Mpeketani attack that has left over 50 people dead was carried out by Al shabaab. The President boldly said the attack was politically instigated.

“The attack in Lamu was well planned, orchestrated, and politically motivated ethnic violence against a Kenyan community, with the intention of profiling and evicting them for political reasons. This therefore, was not an Al Shabaab terrorist attack,” said Uhuru.
