SHUT DOWN GARISSA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE PERMANENTLY, LEADERS DEMAND

Several legislators now want the government to permanently close Garissa University College.
MPs Kangogo Bowen (Marakwet East), Jackson Kiptanui (Keiyo South) and William Kisang (Marakwet West), and former Cabinet minister Nicholas Biwott - have also asked the Government to redeploy all Christian servants serving in the North Eastern region to other areas, saying the terror attacks have been based on religious background.
“This is no longer a terrorist affair but it has proved to be a religious war in which Christians have been constantly targeted and heinously executed in cold blood. To guarantee their security, they should be redeployed immediately to areas where there is religious tolerance because the Government has failed to provide enough security for them,” said Mr Bowen.
He further said that the rampant attacks are no longer a terrorist affair but have eventually come out to prove to be a “religious war” in which Christians have been constantly targeted and heinously executed in cold blood.
“The Government should know it is very dangerous for Christians to operate in North Eastern region,” added Mr Bowen.
President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday declared a three days of national mourning in honour of the victims of the attack. At the same time, MUSO leaders from various campuses, led by Geoffrey Omondi, have issued a ten day ultimatum to the government to beef up security in all universities especially Moi University.
