Leaders from Garissa County have called upon the government to prosecute nine interdicted senior police officers for 'negligence' in the wake of terror attack on Garissa University College.
The members of parliament want a case to be filed against the officers as soon as possible as the nation seeks offer justice to families of the students who lost their lives following the tragic incident.
The attack led to the interdiction of Northeastern regional coordinator Ernest Munyi, Garissa AP Commander Christopher Muthee, Garissa County Commissioner Njenga Miiri, , Garissa DCI boss Musa Yego and county commander Charles Wambugu.
Other leaders who were also interdicted are Anti-Terror Police Unit boss Nicholas Kimanzim, Garissa police boss Benjamin Ong’ombe and subcounty AP boss John Cheruiyot.
The police officers lost their jobs in April last year after they were accused of 'leadership failure' that led to the deaths of innocent students in pursuit of knowledge.
The National Assembly Committee on National Security and Administration has presented a report recommending for the prosecution of the officers for ignoring terror alerts as from Garissa County Intelligence Security Committee.
“The government should ensure the interdicted senior administrative officers and police county commanders prosecuted for criminal negligence,” reads the report.
The committee also called upon the decentralization of Recce Squad to the county headquaters to prevent future attacks.
