Yes, I flew my daughters in a police aircraft as AL SHABAAB killed students - MBITHI admits

Embattled Kenya Police Air Wing Commandant, Roggers Mbithi, has admitted that he used a police aircraft to fly his daughters in Mombasa instead of flying Recee Squad to Garissa to rescue students who had been attacked by Al Shabaab terrorists leading to deaths of 147 of them.

However, he dispelled allegations that he used the plane for a private mission, saying the plane had gone to Mombasa for a scheduled training of police pilots and only offered to airlift his daughter in-law and two other children to Nairobi.

He noted that he takes full responsibility for his action and even explained everything to Inspector General of Police, Joseph Boinnet.

“There is nothing to hide. It came back with her and two small children. I took full responsibility and explained that,” said Mbithi.

At the same time, Mbithi also denied claims that he had hired the plane to a businessman saying apart from his daughter in-law and two children, only the instructor and his student were on board.
