Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i is unfit to continue serving at the ministry of Interior, Siaya County senator James Orengo has said.
Orengo speaking on Sunday night during an interview at KTN claimed that President Uhuru Kenyatta picked a wrong person for the crucial position.
“Matiang’i is not fit at all because he is rushing to arrest people without proper investigation. How can he arrest his own brother, KEBS Managing Director Charles Ongwae just because he dismissed that there was no mercury in the recently seized contraband sugar? Uhuru picked a wrong person for the crucial job,” he said.
According to Orengo, Matiang’i is using force instead of allowing investigative agencies to do their work before arresting the suspects.
“Matiang’i is rushing to decisions not because he wants to end illicit trade but chasing fame and pleasing cartels in government. Uhuru should consider reshuffling the cabinet and change Matiang’i or drop him,” stated the ODM senator.
He said making unnecessary arrests will not help in ending illegal trade in the country because cartels in government will still continue importing fake products to sell to innocent Kenyans.
