Police boss David Kimaiyo directs speedy probe of website

By CYRUS OMBATI

Police boss David Kimaiyo has directed CID officers to hasten a probe into the activities of a group behind a website, which is calling for secession of parts of North Eastern.

Kimaiyo said the group’s thinking is dangerous hence the need for the detectives to finish their probe soon. “I have also directed the Director of Criminal Investigations to hasten the probe on the website known as garreonline for allegedly instigating skirmishes in Moyale,” said Kimaiyo in a statement.

Several angles

The group has so far been blamed for the rising tension and fighting between major ethnic groups that have left more than 100 people dead in the past year.

Officials handling the matter said officers from the CID headquarters and National Cohesion and Integration Commission are pursuing several angles in efforts to establish the motive and those behind the issue.
