THE National Assembly is planning to carry out an inquiry into the January 15 attack on the Kenya Defence Forces camp in El Adde, Somalia.
An unconfirmed number of soldiers were killed, injured and taken hostage by al Shabaab militants.
Parliamentary Defence Committee chairman Ndung’u Gethenji said Parliament will be inquiring into the events that took place leading to the attack.
The Tetu MP said the committee had the parliamentary and constitutional oversight duty of inquiring into the event even as the military carries out its own internal investigations.
“This would help in appreciating the challenges that KDF was facing in taking the lead role in the Amisom peacekeeping mission in Somalia,” he said.
Gethenji spoke on Monday at Muthinga trading centre in Tetu constituency during a community water project meeting.
The legislator said there was an urgent need for Parliament to discuss the country’s role in the mission to appreciate the challenges and opportunities the soldiers face.
