Two weeks after the deadly attack at the Dusit D2 hotel Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru has comeout giving her account on that fateful day.
While narrating her story the governor said, “I was attending a birthday party of a friend when I saw two guys moving around the hotel and my instincts arose since I had dismissed my security detail. They walked around then they left.”
“When I learnt of the attack, I gave the investigating agencies information on what I had seen on a Thursday the previous week,”added Ms Waiguru
She was speaking at Nguguini primary school in Kiaragana during the burial of 23-year-old Wilfred Kareithi who was killed during the attack, releaving that the two suspicious characters came to the hotel through a back entrance.
She further called on members of the public to be vigilant and report suspicious characters to security agencies to avert similar attacks.
“‘Had I acted on my instincts and informed the authorities may be the attack could not have happened, but I never suspected they could be terrorists,” she said.
She also urged parents to report to government authorities whenever they suspect their children have crossed over to Somalia.
Kirinyaga women rep Wangui Ngirici regretted that two sons from the County were victims of the attack.
Others present during the burial ceremony were deputy governor Peter Ndambiri, former senator Daniel Karaba, former county assembly speaker Anne Githinji and Ndia MP George Kariuki.
