Opposition demands sacking of Kimaiyo, Lenku by President Uhuru Kenyatta

Despite spirited attempts by the Jubilee government to defend the record of its top two internal security chiefs, pressure is mounting for them to be sacked after a series of spectacular security lapses in the last three weeks led to the deaths of scores of civilians and police officers.

On Monday, the Opposition added its voice to the chorus of calls on social media and demanded that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto send home Internal Security Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole Lenku and Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo after the horrific terrorist attack that left 28 people dead.
