Security chiefs intensify blame game as probe into attack starts |
2013-10-06 |
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Rivalry within top security agencies has intensified ahead of the naming of a commission of inquiry to investigate security lapses that may have resulted in the Westgate Shopping Mall terrorist attack three weeks ago. Top government sources on Saturday told the Sunday Nation that the inquiry is expected to point out who failed Kenyans between the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), National Intelligence Service and the Kenya Police Service, since the three agencies seem to trade blame for being negligent in their duties to protect Kenyans. The anxiety within the security agencies also comes ahead of investigations into the matter by a joint parliamentary team, scheduled to start Monday. |

#2 At one time, a KDF commander ordered some senior coppers, who were not in uniform, to leave the scene. But one of the police bosses intervened and they resisted the move. Sounds like the Navy Yard. |

#1 Oddly comforting to know the post-screwup game is played outside the USG. |
