ASSASINATIONS OF MPS A SHOCKER TO THIS NATION

This country has gone from bad to worse in the past few years with bizarre cases and so many unreasonable.

I don’t know whether this country has plunged into a state of no man, no rule of law and no humanity

How can someone from nowhere appear and murder a member of parliament in the middle of the capital city Nairobi and disappear and not to be seen or found by the security personnel or even the security personnel that patrol the area.

Is it a matter of robbery or do we mean to say that the dark days of assassinations and brutal killings of the past are back to our country or what are we trying to mean.

Matters get worse when immediately after the burial of the slain Muchai another former MP is executed by unknown assailants who are nowhere to be found.

Muchai as alleged was assassinated because of his fight for corruption and his strong stand for the people of his constituency and Kenya.

What I don’t understand is that for a while now his security had been a matter of concern for several years but he took him and the government too long to enhance his security and make sure that he is safe

His murder was not the first attempt to his life as he had been attacked earlier by assailants but he escaped why he had to wait for a second time before enhancing his security.

In a nut shell the one gun man as alleged shot all the four occupants of the vehicle without even one of them withdrawing their guns and try to respond to the attack.

How did the gun man manage to shoot the driver go round shoot the MP move again and shoot the body guard and again go round the car and shoot the other body guard without any of them responding. This raises eye brows whether it was an in-house executed job.

The reckless talks by leaders and ministers are not helping matters at all because the death of Muchai has been reduced to personal fights among the leaders.

Accusations and counter accusations among these leaders because of their personal differences cannot help matters in finding the real killers of Muchai.

You cannot accuse someone of killing another without evidence simply because they had differences. Everyone has differences with someone somewhere but it does not mean that they are ever planning for your downfall.

Some utterances by members of parliament and ministers are misleading and are going to divide Kenyans if not confuse the investigations in Muchai murder.

Another problem with Kenyan leadership is that no investigations of slain public figures have ever born any fruits to date, all the committee of experts set aside to investigate never come up with conclusive evidence or if they come up with any leads the leads are killed by government or never followed up.

We really need seriousness in investigating the deaths of our leaders and give conclusive evidence that will be able to nub the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

We also expect that the security of this nation is enhanced not only for leaders but for all Kenyans all over the country 

There is no way the government can assure us of security when leaders are murdered in broad day light we cannot believe that there is security at all. Security must be enhanced in this country period.
