POLICE DENY MADARAKA FIRE INVOLVEMENT, PROMISE ACTION

Kiambu County Commissioner Mr. Alex Ole Nkoyo has distanced his office from any involvement in the Madaraka Market fire attack on Sunday Morning.

Speaking in Makongeni on Monday afternoon, Nkoyo said that the right procedure necessary in such operations was never followed. His office never permitted such an exercise since they had not even been presented with a notice of intent to hit Madaraka Market by anyone.

He said that, to begin with, setting the market on fire was in itself wrong and it was equally wrong to destroy other people's property. 

He assured the traders that investigations were underway, adding that his office would not relent until all those involved were apprehended and taken to court. The police have already arrested one suspect who the commissioners said was helping them in their investigations. 

He also assured the traders of police security during the market clean up campaign and re-construction of their structures.
