Dagotetti North MP Simba Arati has warned Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiangi of assassination plans by unhappy cartels following his spirited fight on contraband goods.
Mr Arati now wants Matiang'i to be more careful.
The Orange Democratic Movement legislator was speaking on Monday during the burning of over 1,100 illegal gambling machines and 300 shisha bongs in Dagoretti South.
“Na Bwana Waziri uchunge usiwekewe sumu kwa chakula juu ya hii kazi (Mr Cabinet Secretary, please take care that your food is not poisoned on account of the work you are doing),” Mr Arati said.
Dr Matiang'i who was also at the event threatened to sack any administrative officers, including chiefs, sub-chiefs, county and regional commissioners, found to be involved in the illegal gambling scheme.
“We are ruining our children. Twelve-year-olds are the ones who go to play these games. It is going against the president’s goal of 100 percent transition into secondary schools,” stated Dr Matiangí.
The tough Cs has given administration officers until 30th June to eliminate all gambling machines in their areas of administration.
