Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has warned unnamed individuals behind the chaos that rocked Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza‘s event on Sunday, September 17, in Igembe South.
Kawira had attended a church service in Baite Family Fellowship Outreach on Sunday.
While at the event, the governor donated mattresses gumboots, iron sheets and a cow towards helping the less fortunate in society.
After the event, some goons slaughtered the cow and burnt the other items she had donated including mattresses.
“It is with great regret that we must address the recent incident that took place during our Baite family fellowship outreach from Makiri in Maua Igembe South.
We experienced violence where part of our donations was destroyed including a cow that was meant to benefit a needy family,” she stated.
Kawira in her statement condemned violence and said that it was not right to disrupt any charitable effort that is meant to help the needy.
“We want to express our deep disappointment and condemnation of such retrogressive behavior.
