Interior CS Kithure Kindiki’s speech at Ngomeni area in Kitui County was interrupted by gunshots fired by bandits who have terrorised the residents for many years.
Prof Kindiki, who toured the area to condole with families of two people killed by bandits in separate attacks last week, acknowledged that the gunfire amounted to daring him and the government security machinery.
The security minister said the bandits had crossed the red line and will now face the full force of government.
“If they think they are better equipped with more guns than the government, or they are more trained than our security agencies, we’ll see who wins this war in the next few days” said the CS.
