National Assembly Deputy Speaker Gladys Boss Shollei on Monday called for the Kenya Police to employ Charles Wambua who has been in the national limelight for retrieving bodies in Mukuru kwa Njenga.
Wambua has been instrumental in retrieving 14 bodies of mutilated females dumped in the Kware dumpsite.
According to Shollei, the young man has proven to be an asset to the country and police should give him a job in the force.
“I think police should hire Wambua. He is definitely an asset. He is very professional and has a skill that seems nobody has,” Shollei explained.
The Uasin Gishu Woman Representative further faulted the police officers attached to the area for not cordoning the area when the first case was reported.
In an earlier interview with the media, Wambua had remarked that this was not the first time he had retrieved bodies from the site.
Wambua explained even last year, his services were engaged after a body was dumped in the area.
“We need to question our system and the workings of our police officers. Because it comes out clearly that other bodies have been found in that same dumpsite previously,” the MP stated, calling for accountability.
“The hero of the day, Wambua himself said that last year he did retrieve another body. People actually know that he is the person to go to when things like that happen.”
Shollei remarked that police officers commanding the area station ought to have known that it was an area that criminals could use to dump bodies.
She regretted that there was an apparent lapse by security teams in the area.
As such, she stated that the involved police officers would be summoned to Parliament and explained why the situation was not contained early enough.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has yet not identified the motive behind the murders. The DCI is exploring if the murders are connected to a cult or if there is a serial killer on the loose.
