Muhoozi said he would deploy Ugandan army to Northlands farm where goons recently intruded.

The son of Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has offered to guard Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenya's third retired president.

Muhoozi Kainerubaga says he was pained by the attack on Uhuru's Northlands farm where the goons cut down trees, vandalised property and stole hundreds of livestock.

Muhoozi, a top-rank general in the Ugandan army, now offers to deploy troops from Kampala to guard Uhuru and his property.

"My big brother's farm was attacked by hooligans the other day. We will send UPDF to protect him. We will beat those hooligans to pulp," said Muhoozi on Twitter.

Museveni's son is known to be acquaintances with Uhuru and had visited the latter at State House Nairobi when he was still in office.

Parts of Northlands farm where goons cut down trees.

Reacting to the incident, Interior CS Kithure Kindiki said Security officers were unable to access the Uhuru family farm in time because of the protests that occasioned operational constraints.

He however said police were able to respond in time at Raila's firm and prevent further losses.

Kindiki said police had started pursuing at least 2,000 looters who looted at the farm.

The CS said he would be issuing policy directives to the Inspector General of the National Police Service to restore sanity in the security of the country, adding that the directives shall take effect on March 31.

The directives would include ensuring that the police oversee public safety during demonstrations of any type.

The CS also said the measures would also enhance security for all Kenyans and foreign nationals in Kenya to ensure that no person is exposed to insecurity.

Kindiki said that he would provide security to all persons whose private property has been violated and or looted during the protests.

The same would apply to any other person with established, well-founded fear or apprehension that their property is or may be the target of violation, destruction, and or looting.

"All streets, estates and neighbourhoods in Nairobi, Kisumu, and any other place where there are reasonable grounds to believe that violent protests may erupt in the future be provided with round-the-clock security to ensure that law-abiding persons go about their activities without intimidation, threats or disruption of their daily activities," the CS said.
