Quote:Dear Kenyans,
As we intensify the war on terrorism, I acknowledge the thousands of our men and women in uniform. They continue to serve this nation diligently in difficult and trying circumstances.
We have lost hundreds of them as they work to defend us. For this reason, I urge all Kenyans to support and pray for our security forces at all times.
Earlier today, I held a meeting with the Inspector General of Police, Mr David Kimaiyo, a man who has served this nation with dedication and commitment.
Mr David Kimaiyo offered to retire and I have accepted the retirement request. I therefore take this opportunity to thank Mr David Kimaiyo for his many years of service to our nation.
Further to this, I have nominated Hon. Major General (Rtd) Joseph Nkaissery as the new Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government. I hope the National Assembly will expedite the process of his vetting and approval.
Fellow Kenyans,
I know we are all under a lot of pressure, but I appeal to each one of us: this is not a time to be cowed by the enemy. I also call on all leaders to stand together and confront this enemy. This is a war we must win.
We must win it together. In times like this, Kenyans must unite and stand for Kenya.
Thank you and God bless you.
(This statement was issued by President Kenyatta on December 2, 2014 on the current security situation) Ole Ndengu not thanked.... so I think he is still CS until the general is vetted and ushered into the office When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.
