Major Gen Phillip Kameru, Ideal for Kenya Intelligence Director General

Taking up the position of the Director General of the National Intelligence Service would serve the Republic of Kenya very well besides allow the Jubilee government achieve the dream of a secure and geopolitically powerful Kenya. With such a background full of military glory, the General who has planned the war against Al-Shabaab, and offered leadership in shaping the current good stead of Kenya Military face, Maj. Gen Kameru is the ideal replacement for Maj Gen. Gichangi who left the intelligence service for a myriad of intelligence failures.
