As terror attacks continue to plague the country, Kenyans on Twitter have urged Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i to prioritize security issues over his involvement in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) politics.
At least 10 people have been killed in terror attacks in the last two weeks, mainly at the border points with Somalia, which have been blamed on Al Shabaab militants.
On Monday, three teachers were killed and another abducted in an attack by Al Shabaab militants, sparking concerns over Matiang'i's handling of security matters.
Netizens have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment over Matiang'i's dalliance with BBI proponents, citing his neglect of security responsibilities.
“Matiangi, the central person who is supposed to spearhead security matters in the country is seriously campaigning for power succession politics while Al Shabaab is killing people in Garissa. Kibicho of late rarely talks, he ambushes people through silent moves God, save thee people,” tweeted @KidWakanda.
“The Cabinet Secretary for Interior Dr. Fred Matiangi should stop his engagements in BBI sideshows and take the lead in matters security as his number one responsibility. He is busy politicking while innocent Kenyans are being butchered every day. Yes, we can defeat terrorism,” posted @HonAnabGure.
