20 policemen feared dead. You can imagine the kind of armory those alshaabab had to take over and burn 4 police vehicles.

This Maa guy is crazy. He is either completely unaware of the modern world and its advanced technology or is just plain stubborn. He imagines that he can control the flow of information.
I enjoy reading Kenya's immediate past history. Here are some gems I picked recently
Did you know that in Kenya,
- KBC / VoK had the monopoly of news?
- Newspapers could only publish news items either received from or approved by Kenya News Agency
- That journalists had to obtain licenses which could be withdrawn if they tried to grow horns
- News broadcast on VoK the mouthpiece of KBC was called "Information"?
- The Swahili version was called "Matangazo". Hence in your mother tongue the word for "news" is actually a variation of "information" or "Matangazo"

They have opted to lie
Kenyan authorities disputed claims by local officials that at least 20 policemen were killed in an attack by suspected al-Shabaab militants in the northeast of the country, saying that only five people were injured in the raid.
Kenyan Police Inspector-General Joseph Boinnet said officers on patrol in Garissa county came under attack late Monday. Other officers came to the scene and engaged in a “heavy firefight” that left two of them critically wounded and three with “minor injuries,” Boinnet said in an e-mailed statement.
At least 20 people died in the attack, in which the assailants used rocket-propelled grenades, Fafi sub-county Commissioner Geoffrey Taragon said earlier. Mahat Osman, a local politician who visited the scene, said he saw as many as 20 bodies. Taragon was unable to comment when contacted later because he was in a security meeting, while Osman wasn’t available.
The clashes in Garissa come less than two months after an al-Shabaab raid on a university in the county left at least 147 people dead. That was the deadliest attack on Kenya since al-Qaeda bombed the U.S. Embassy in 1998.
Somalia-based al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks in Kenya over the past four years. The group says it’s retaliating over Kenya’s 2011 deployment of troops in Somalia, where the militants have been waging an insurgency against the government since 2006.
Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the latest raid, saying it ambushed a convoy in northeastern Kenya and killed police officers.
Kenya’s Interior Ministry said via Twitter that no police were confirmed dead.
“A combined security operation involving the National Police Service and the Kenya Defense Forces is managing the situation,” Boinnet said in the statement. An “operation to subdue the attackers is on course.”

Omorlo,
I agree, the mindset will take years to exorcise
This will prove to be too big to coverup. Watch it backfire spectacularly on him
-
they started covering up.
i thought Garissa is 100 miles from border.

.....mounted their black flags over the mosque and key parts of the village, made speeches in the Tumtish and Kabasalo mosques before calmly withdrawing into the bush. The militants repeated the same show at Yumbis village, 70 km (45 miles) north of Garissa town, even as the government of Kenya was still trying to put a spin on the earlier incident.
I haven't read anywhere in the international media about the dead policemen.....usually they are ahead of the game as the Kenyan gov is still trying to get their story right. What I read is that the terrorists ambushed an abandoned post and erected their flag....They stayed all night and even had morning prayers lol.

Perhaps you should review your sources of news. It was all over the wires. Some have refused to change their original story while others present it as an about change. Note that Uhuru Kenyatta first sent his condolences before retracting them.

Policemen other than recce squad in that area are completely outmatched. It is a semi-war zone. Kenya has to be only country in the world that sends policemen to fight insurgencies.
-
Am still waiting for some leakage. 25 cops must have been known to hundreds of others and they can't just vanish into thin air. While GOK may silence the families, how can they possibly silence all their networks?
Looks like GOK is telling the truth, only one perished

how do you burn 1,2,3.... police vehicles with nearly zero casualties... hope the police run away ....but run away to where in those bushes?? al shaitan will still have you for mince meat.... let's see whether obituaries pages will have something on the burials in next few days ....
