Reprimand Air Wing boss and promote Garissa officers, Boinnet told

Officers from Kenya Police take cover outside the Garissa University College during an attack by gunmen in Garissa which left 147 dead and many wounded. The ombudsman has proposed that the IG gives Air Wing Commandant Col (rtd) Rogers Mbithi a warning, in writing, for his actions on the day of the attack that saw a police aircraft pick members of his family from the Moi International Airport, Mombasa.  (PHOTO: COURTESY/ AP)

The National Police Service should recognise and promote four police officers stationed at the Garissa University College during the time of the terror attack.

The Inspector General of Police should also reprimand its Air Wing Commandant for his actions on the day of the attack, as well as deploy Special Combat Police units in each county for rapid response to terror attacks and other disasters.
