    "content": "directed that immediate investigations be carried out and that those officers be reprimanded. Therefore, on my behalf, and that of the entire Ministry, I wish to send a message of condolences to the families of the persons who died as a result of the Dandora incident. I wish to assure the families and all the concerned parties that the Ministry will ensure due diligence is applied in this case. The other incidence, the fourth one is about what happened at the Hope International Church. On 22nd April, 2012, at about 1400 hours, Kasarani Police Station received a report through the telephone from one, Geoffrey Thuo who described himself as an aspiring candidate within Kiambu County, that he had been attacked by a group of youth while at Hope International Church at Garden Estate where he had gone to discuss some political issues with Maina Njenga. He was seeking urgent police assistance claiming that the youth had demanded his car and robbed him of Kshs100, 000. Kasarani Police Station then instructed a mobile police patrol which was on duty in the Garden Estate area to proceed to the Hope International Church and carry out inquiries on the report. When the police officers arrived in the church compound, they identified themselves to the youths, who seemed like ushers. But when they explained their mission, a large group of youths emanated from the church and attacked the police officers. The patrol team was robbed of their personal items including cash, ATM cards and, more alarmingly, their arms and certificates of appointment. Those officers exhibited high levels of restraint, despite having a justifiable reason that could have led them to use their firearms to protect themselves and their property. I, therefore, have directed that this case be urgently investigated so as to ensure that those responsible are dealt with in accordance with the law."
