Using the same warped logic @FredMatiangi an appointee of the President who sits in the same Cabinet and National Security Council with the Deputy President cannot go insulting his senior in funerals https://t.co/L8e5Qvuanu

“I cannot seat in the National Security Council and insult the Inspector General (of Police) in public and burial meetings. Because some people have decided to stoop too low, to a point of pettiness and desperation,” the CS fired back.
Matiangi is an impediment to the justice system in kenya.
He now has the temerity to ask courts to speed up matters, yet, he never obeys court orders or summons.
