Wa Mitego, I hear you have given me 10 days to address banditry in Meru North or else you will go there to incite the public to arm themselves and fight cattle rustlers.
For your information, banditry in Meru North has been there for more than 10 years, and it became worse when some of the friends you are now frolicking with were in charge of national security.
When I assumed office as Interior Minister, I spent months in that region and the neighbouring counties, sleeping in bush camps and coordinating security formations to crush bandit networks.
The Government succeeded.
You offered no support despite the high office you held then, not even a visit to Meru North to show solidarity with the people you now seem to have so much concern for.
Bandit attacks have resumed over the last two weeks, with devastating loss of life and livestock.
The Government will crush the criminals, like we did in 2023- 2024.
To your shock and dismay, we will succeed.
We are not acting because of your empty and childish threats and ultimatums, but because the Government has a duty to protect the people of Kenya and their property.
You failed when you had the power and influence to assist the people, not just on security matters, but are you aware that you can not pinpoint one single development project you fought for its implementation anywhere in the Republic of Kenya while you were in office?
You can rant all you like about Kasongo this, Soprano that, but your hateful rhetoric and useless threats won’t sell.
Let’s compete on who has pushed the people’s agenda and wellbeing more, and I will show you dust any day, anywhere in this country. Tafuta watu wengine wa kutisha, sio sisi.
