House team ‘not given all footage on attack’

A parliamentary committee has claimed that it was not given all the CCTV footage on the Westgate mall terror attack.

The Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations chairman, Mr Ndung’u Gethenji, on Sunday said there are more materials they need to review.

“We are asking anybody who has that material on the Westgate attack to bring it to the committee for consideration and review,” said Mr Gethenji.

Mr Gethenji, who is also the Tetu MP, was speaking at Kaiguri village in his constituency.

The MP reiterated that the four terrorists who were inside the mall were killed.

“There is a supposition somewhere that people escaped. They did not escape. We have remains of four people we suspect were the four terrorists. Pathological examinations are going on to establish the identities of these people and where they came from,” said Mr Gethenji.

He urged the public to remain vigilant to prevent recruitment of youths by unknown people who are taking them to Somalia for training by Al-Shabaab.

He also urged the media to provide any additional information it may have to help the committee in its investigations.

The Tetu MP said the manner in which some of the CCTV footage was released is illegal.

He further said his committee is questioning how some of the forensic evidence got into the public domain.
