Kindiki scours city, leaves goons without hideouts or handouts

Interior Security Cabinet Secretary, Prof Kindiki Kithure, is a diligent professional. So, when he was routed-I hesitate to use the term "rigged"-out of Kenya Kwanza's running mate contest, he momentarily retired from elective politics.

But then, he bounced back, sooner than later, taking the Interior Security docket. Kindiki has been on the move since, touring different parts of the country to "assess" the security situation. Last week, his speech in Kitui was punctuated by gunfire-a mocking "gun-salute" from gun-bearing goons.
