Two Mandera victims laid to rest, leaders demand sack

Two sisters killed in the Mandera terrorist attack were yesterday laid to rest in an emotional ceremony in Nyeri, as leaders called for an overhaul of the country’s security apparatus. The two were among 28 people shot dead by Al-Shabaab in a bus that was heading to Nairobi at dawn last Saturday.

Tears flowed freely as the two teachers, Fridah Kathambi and Winfred Karimi, were laid to rest at their parents’ home at Njoguini Village in Naromoru, in a ceremony attended by hundreds of mourners.
