Establish the reliability of our armoured vehicles

The quality of the armoured personnel carriers (APC) purchased from China should be ascertained to ensure they do not endanger the lives of Kenya’s security personnel. This follows media reports that the APCs acquired by the police were particularly ineffective against explosives planted by the Al Shabaab in this week’s attack because they are of inferior quality.
If it is established that the death of seven security officers during the terror attack in Lamu was as a result of inferior vehicles, then there must be consequences.
