Interior CS Fred Matiang'i was on Thursday put on the spot to issue a statement in defense of his PS Karanja Kibicho, while on a tour of Kajiado County.

CS Matiang'i, however, shut down journalists who had attempted to get a comment from him.

"No, no, no; don’t even ask that question," he remarked as he shifted focus to utterances made by Starehe MP Charles Njagua "Jaguar".
