Kenya MPs Oppose Depolyment of Army in Samburu

In kenya, Three Members of Parliament from Turkana County on Thursday criticised the deployment of Kenya Army (KDF) in Suguta, Samburu County warning that it was illegal and likely to disrupt the planned voter registration expected to start next Monday.

They said President Kibaki’s decision to order military deployment following the killing of over 40 officers in the area was done without approval of the National Assembly as required by the Constitution.

The government’s decision came as a reaction to the killings of over 40 policemen who were on an operation to recover stolen animals from Turkana raiders.

“We believe the President was ill advised by his close security aides and they must step aside and be investigated,” said Wildlife Assistant Minister Josephat Nanok.
