The President last month apologised over the Shakohola massacre. He said: "As the President, Shakahola should not have happened. For that I truly say I'm sorry."

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has too apologised. "We failed as organs of national security. The tragedy at Shakahola forest should have been detected and averted. I tender an unqualified apology to the people of Kenya on behalf of the security sector, past and present," he said.
