CS Matiang’i Visits the Family of Two Embu Brothers Promising Justice

Benson Njiru Ndwiga and Emmanuel Mutura were found dead two days after they were arrested on their way home past curfew hours.

Speaking to the press shortly after meeting the family, Matiang’i promised the family justice saying the rule of law will prevail once investigations are complete.

“Investigative agencies are on it; our internal affairs unit is on it and the IPOA is on it. I promise the father because I have just met him this afternoon in the company of the Attorney General and the Inspector General of police, we will do everything we can to get justice. We will go in the direction that the investigative report will lead us to,” CS Matiang’i stated.

According to CS Matiang’i, Investigations are going on well and they are hoping that they will get to the root of the matter as soon as possible.

He said his ministry will not relent in pursuing justice for the two boys whose death dealt a huge blow to their families.

“A lot of work has been done; I do not want to pre-empt what is going to be done. I have been briefed that investigations are going on very well and as responsible public servants, we sat down with the father of those two children, we spoke and assured them that we will do what we have done before; namely to follow the law,” he added.

The deaths of the two brothers led to a series of protests that resulted in one death in the Kianjokoma area, Embu County.
