“What actually happened is that Kasaine and other people were making noise in a meeting held by Governor Lenku at a hotel in Kimana, and I went to tell them to keep quiet,” Meliyio told the Star.
He added, “I am a professional soldier trained to guard VIPs and I understand well when to pull out my gun. Nobody’s life had been threatened to warrant such action.”
Kasaine has however insisted that his life is in danger following the alleged threats and gave a different account of events of what transpired.
He further intimated that he will record a statement with the DCI.
“After he pulled out his pistol, I also took up a stone from the ground. After a while, he left us alone. I have to report this matter so as to end this animosity,” said Kasaine.
