Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has asked the national government to take action against politicians and religious leaders allegedly sympathising with terror and criminal groups.
Speaking when he attended a church forum organised by the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) at Jumuia Conference Center in Limuru on Monday, Kabogo said that terror sympathisers must be dealt with accordingly.
Kabogo alleged that some politicians and religious leaders could be supporting terror elements in Northern Kenyan.
“The government should stamp its authority and take action against people who could be working with terror criminals,” he said.
He stated that insecurity in Northern Kenya and other parts of the country will be tackled if the government acts seriously.
Kabogo added that the country is staring at economic stagnation if the issues surrounding security is not addressed.
At the same time, Kabogo wants the Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery to take action against National Assembly leader Aden Duale for failing to produce the list of suspected terrorists.
Kabogo says that failure by Duale to produce the list as earlier promised indicates that he is hiding some information.
In April, following the terror attack on Garissa University College that led to the deaths of 148 students, Duale was quoted saying that he will release the list of terror agents within a month.
However early this month, Duale recanted the statement saying that he owed no one such a list and would not produce one.
Terror threats have been frequent in Garissa with security officers being the target.
Two week ago, a police officer was killed in Yumbis and government vehicles burnt by suspected Al Shabaab militants who ambushed the officers.
