NAIROBI, KENYA: Senior commanders of a security organ in the country have clashed over a proposal to procure guns and security equipment from Czech Republic.

Some of the chiefs have disagreed with one of their seniors over the plan to engage some private firm to supply the arms in a deal estimated at Sh30 billion.

The deal, if firmed will allow the contractor to supply the department exclusively for 10 years.

Those with reservations on the deal point to the claim that officers from the security agency do not use the type of armament being eyed. 

Others claim the top security chief who is nearing retirement perhaps is eying a kickback from the hefty deal for his ‘retirement package’.
