Aftermath of the Kenya’s Westgate Mall attack, the army has sacked and jailed two soldiers accused of looting, CEOAFRICA.com gathered.

This was disclosed to newsmen by the army chief Julius Karangi, who also said the third soldier is currently being investigated.

It would be recalled that the CCTV footage released after the incident showed some soldiers carrying plastic shopping bags out of the mall.

The army chief denied there have been widespread looting, saying the news was a way of painting the negative image of the soldiers by the media.

Somali Islamist group al-Shabab says it was behind the attack, which killed 67 people over four days.

Gen Karangi has previously said that soldiers had only taken water because they were thirsty but on Tuesday, he said two soldiers had been sacked after being found with items such mobile phones and cameras stolen from the shopping centre.

Also, the army spokesman Col Cyrus Oguna explained that a local commander gave the soldiers the go-ahead to take snacks from the supermarket.

"There might have been poor judgement on the part of the commander, which is an issue we are dealing with.

Several shop-owners have said that their premises were looted during the siege.
