Aisha Jumwa, the cabinet secretary for public service, affirmative action, and gender equality, is estimating significant losses.
This follows the theft of valuables and money from her Loresho home in Nairobi by at least three armed attackers.
The family was terrorized by the gang, which the police described as burglars, as they demanded money and devices before fleeing.
They stole KSh 1.1 million in cash as well as laptops, gold, and jewelry.
According to a report by Nation.Africa, one of the officers working on the CS’s security detail reported the event to the police.
The CS had lately moved into the home, but had not let the police know.
According to the police, a gang of three men armed with crude weapons entered the compound by cutting the electric perimeter wall and gained access to the main house through the back door which was not locked.
The report booked under on number 3/15/02/2023 stated the gang entered the house and went directly to the master bedroom upstairs where they ransacked the bedroom and stole the valuables.
They then went to the bedroom where her two daughters were sleeping and robbed them.
One of the daughters sustained slight injuries during the incident.
