Kiraithe defends police rampage in Limuru

20 April 2012, 07:55

Nairobi – Police on Thursday defended their move to disperse a meeting in Limuru Wednesday organised to counter another held there by GEMA leaders two weeks ago saying intelligence reports indicated it was meant to relaunch the outlawed Mungiki sect.

Police Spokesman Eric Kiraithe said that the Limuru 2B meeting was cancelled after police received complaints that gangs of the illegal Mungiki were extorting money from matatu operators and small business traders in parts of Central and Rift Valley to finance the meeting.

He told a news conference that the meeting was also meant to install a former sect leader as the political leader of Central region.
