Meanwhile, Mr Ojode has hinted at a major shake-up of the country’s police force once the task force on the law enforcers tables its report soon.
“We are not talking about one man, you are likely to see a full surgery of the police force once the report is out - probably next month,” he said.
Added the Assistant minister, “People have been saying that we are not pro-reforms. This will be proved otherwise when the report comes out.”
He termed as 'isolated cases’ the increase in carjacking incidents around the city, adding that plans were underway to install more CCTV cameras to beef up security.

Citizens should be on look-out for suspicious xters roaming around tall buildings especially those carrying bags etc. Kenyans should not however, judge everyone as terrorist! We, Kenyan somalis and many other somalis from Somalia doesn't condone violence against anyone, let alone their second and the only home, Kenya. Abdi, Mandera.
