Attorney General Githu Muigai defends newly passed security law

Attorney General Githu Muigai has defended the newly introduced Security Laws (Amendment) Act 2014 arguing that the court cannot grant temporary orders as this would jeopardise the fight against terror insurgents.

Responding to the application filed by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD), the AG said the law passed and assented to by President Uhuru Kenyatta has given security personnel the ability to counter terror activities and if it is shelved, it will mean Kenyans will be left at the mercy of the perpetrators.
