Former, current Kihiu Mwiri bosses summoned

Former and current directors of the controversial Kihiu Mwiri land buying company have been ordered to record statements at the CID Headquarters Friday morning.

The Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet and CID Director Ndegwa Muhoro summoned the directors after holding a closed-door meeting in Gatanga where they deliberated on the recent killings of two more company directors.

The two said action will be taken against security officers at the CID Headquarters and Makuyu police station who failed to take action even after receiving information of an impending murder of the two directors.

Meanwhile, acting Lands Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi, who also attended the meeting, says the government will issue title deeds to all land owners at Kihiu Mwiri by September this year.

The remarks by the government officials came a day after two more directors of Kihiu Mwiri Company were shot dead by unknown assailants.

Chrispas Wanyoike and Chege Mwangi were killed on Wednesday morning on the Kihiu Mwiri-Kabata road in Thika.

The deaths bring to eight the number of directors killed in a span of two years.
