Unapologetic man who oversaw the infamous Wagalla massacre

The man who sanctioned the infamous Wagalla massacre of Wajir where hundreds of Degodia clan members died and later described it a success, died earlier this week aged 91.

Benson Kaaria, a Provincial Commissioner in North Eastern defended the operation to his old age, including justifying the “effectiveness” of the colonial method of communal punishment, expressing little remorse for his actions.
