KWALE: Former Chief of Defence Forces General Julius Karangi has said he is not behind the push for the establishment of the proposed Ministry of Homeland Security to co-ordinate the war on terror and combat other crimes.

There have been speculation that Karangi, who retired from the military early this year, could be appointed to the ministry, which will replace the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination.
