THE SAGA OF KENYA SENATOR WHO DIED LAST WEEK

Many Kenyans were pre occupied last week with the the suspicious news of the death of the popular Lawyer of Kenya the late Honorable Kalonzo who was part of group of Lawyers against Kenyatta Presidency at the supreme court of Kenya.

Now the family of wealthy Mutula have brought Doctor from UK to perfom autopsy to find the cause of his death.Mutula, murder it most probably was plus vetting shockers being cooked by the desperate

They say what goes round comes around. Former Internal security minister George Saitoti was an expert at cooling off public interest on issues where a cover up was imminent. So much so that you would predict with a great deal of accuracy exactly what he was going to say;
"It would be wrong to speculate at this juncture and I urge wananchi to be patient while thorough investigations are carried out... blah blah."



Well the same tactics were used to cover his own heinous murder and to add insult to injury the report into the inquiry on his death was released by the Kibaki administration at the height of the 2013 political campaigns. That should tell any intelligent person that there was mischief in the timing meaning that the government must have been involved in the murder. Few Kenyans even noticed that the verdict was pilot error. My heart goes out to the families of the gallant pilots of that chopper because we are now being told that they were incompetent and dead people can hardly defend themselves can they?

Some Kenyans who in this digital age are accustomed to listening to the news and repeating what was said like parrots and without using the great tool the Almighty gave them that is between their ears are anxiously telling others NOT to speculate about the death of Senator Mutula Kilonzo. Some are even threatening others and insinuating that there is a law against speculation. These "bongo lalas" are playing right into the hands of those keen on covering up their tracks. When people are told to wait, time passes, important details are forgotten and evidence is obliterated. Months from now when the issue will be brought up again Kenyans will have moved on and that will be the end of the story. And as Waititu would say; hio ndio style yetu (that is our way of doing things in the banana republic).

It is important to realize that thinking for yourself does not cause sheering pain in the brain. Indeed the brain is like a muscle where you stop exercising it and it will go all "flabby" and continuously ineffective. This is one of the reasons why reading habits are critical to the development of a person, irrespective of their age. Crossword puzzles are excellent too. But that is a story for another day.

We know that people like Mutula was) and in perfectly good health do not just suddenly die in their sleep. kwani Mutula was as old and sick as Jomo Kenyatta was in 78? We know that when people foam in the mouth it is one of the classic signs of poisoning. We also know that the government pathologist who messed up with evidence from the Saitoti crash site is the same person who took vomit samples from the late Senator's house on Saturday (so we should prepare ourselves for anything). We also know the names of the people who are set to benefit from the death of the late senator. Indeed two of those individuals can be linked to convenient sudden deaths of others in the past.

In the old days the Kenyan public were sold all kinds of stories to explain away murder and there is no reason to expect different in Mutula's case. Probably the most hilarious such story was that of the Robert Ouko suicide theory. Government officials told Kenyans with a straight face that they had conclusive evidence that Ouko committed suicide. Taking into consideration the facts that were available to the public even then, swallowing this theory would have meant that Ouko broke his leg, shot himself and then set his body ablaze. You can't beat that kind of determination to die can you? And in those days in the banana republic you could be picked up by the special branch for contradicting the government position on such a sensitive national matter.

Kenyans should NOT tire of asking questions about Mutula's death and those questions MUST be asked now. In the event that the post mortem shows that he died of a cardiac arrest, Kenyans should NOT be naive enough to end the issue there. We know that heart attacks can be induced on perfectly healthy people. It has been done many times even in Kenya (including very recently indeed when a very well known public figure very conveniently died just before the general elections).

Just two more quick things I want to say today.

Let us mourn Mutula, a great son of Kenya and console the family for their devastating loss but even as we do so Kenyans need to be aware of the fact that extremely powerful political forces on the ground are busy plotting to make sure that neither Kalonzo Musyoka nor Harun Mwau end up taking over Mutula's senatorial seat. These forces know that thye have considerable support from the voters on the ground. Nothing new about that the secret weapon they plan to use will surprise some and delight many others.

Lastly vetting of the cabinet secretaries starts and must end within 14 days, according to the constitution. Some members of the opposition are busy gathering "evidence" to embarrass the nominees (whom they know will comfortably pass the vetting process thanks to the tyranny of numbers). This "evidence" will come from members of the public. Hope you catch my drift.





While many activist now are asking if the daughter of Mr kilonzo who shake the supreme court during past election who shake the court and won the snmpathy of young Kenyans who want fair election ,Keith Kilonzo is another celebrity in Kenya politics or future Iron Lady of Kenya who follow the feet of her father at the court.
