And what raises questions in Malindi is whether organ removals were carried out on the victims. "If any of our citizens has lost their organs, we will tell the world, there is nothing we are hiding and we will have to find out why these organs are missing, who took them and where," Kindiki said before posting. specify, "it's a long process of accountability".
The Home Cabinet Secretary further clarified that the government was looking for all culprits.
"The government will do all it can to find out who, why and how so many of our citizens have died in such inhumane numbers and whoever gets in the way of accountability will have a rendezvous with fate."
"Never again will we have this kind of crime on the soil of our country," he said.
