Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki was on Thursday put to task to explain why the owners of Tools for Humanity, the parent firm for World Coin have not been arrested despite their contravening the law.
The National Assembly Adhoc committee members questioned why the World Coin Project founders were not put behind bars pending the conclusion of the investigation arguing that preliminary findings show they violated the law.
The Interior Boss assured no stone will be left unturned in ensuring culpable government officials and those in the private sector involved in abetting the World Coin Project outside the law are held to account. "Anyone in government or out of government, in private sector or public sector who its established aided, supported, encouraged or even attempted to support any of those things in relation to world coin, we will hold them accountable," Kindiki said.
Manyatta MP John Mukunji questioned why arrests were still pending despite glaring violation of the law by the World Coin Project operators saying the pending arrests might lead to mistrust from Kenyans. Homabay Town MP Peter Kaluma added:"These people were here walking freely. Why are we applying the law selectively on something so clear. Why are the law enforcement agencies not acting even the law clear on matters mentioned,"The Interior Cabinet Secretary remained non-committal on whether the data captured from Kenyans can be retrieved saying government experts have given two conflicting opinions on the matter.
