On a tweet, he said: "My family en I shall always remember u. Ua family remains in our thoughts en prayers. Meanwhile we request the Almighty that u may RIP."

In an obituary on one of the local dailies, the family of the GSU officer has asked family and friends to help them give him a descent send-off, further raising eyebrows over the government's commitment.

“Meetings for funeral arrangements will take place today 22/1/2019 at Kindergarten hall and Wednesday 23/1/2019 at A.C.K hall, All Saints Cathedral starting from 5pm,” an obituary read.

The 28-year-old, who was attached to the presidential guard was shot and killed by one of the four militants who had raided the dustiD2 complex.

Khalwale's daughter was rescued at 3am the following day after officers from Recce Squad helped tame four terrorists who had taken Kenyans hostage.
