There is something very wrong somewhere.
ODM luminary Raila Odinga insists that there are Russian mercenaries in the country. About four or so of them, he says. (the guy went to College in then Russian controlled Eastern Europe, you know). Even points to the exact place where they are staying (somewhere in Runda).
What is even more puzzling is the reaction of the CID chief. If somebody confronted you with such an allegation what would be the first thing that you would do? Deny? Even as CID chief, you cannot know everything. You are not God.
The correct reaction would be that you would investigate. But Mr Ndungu does not want to investigate, he says that he is sure that there are no mercenaries in the country.
Most Kenyans would naturally give the benefit of the doubt to Mr Odinga. But if he is right and this whole shocking revelation is true, then the next big question to ask is, what are they in the country to do?
In an earlier post regular readers of this blog will remember that I emphasized that the season has changed dramatically in Kenya. Now I can say it is the season of "no secrets". Notice that Central Bank Governor Andrew Mullei is being probed for corruption. Oh yes, the season has changed and changed dramatically in Kenya.
There are indications that this may not be the first time the Kenyan government has seen the need to use mercenaries. Caucacian hair was found at the scene where the charred remains of former foreign Minister Robert Ouko were found. Remember?
What are the advantages of using foreigners in security operations? Chances of leakage are dramatically reduced. Members of the security forces in Kenya are ordinary people who have families and even if they are very tight-lipped, they can talk in their sleep and the wife can hear…
What exactly is going on in Kenya?
This I can tell for sure, it is the season for "no secrets" The idea is that we would never have heard of this thing nor noticed it until the deed was done, (whatever it was).
I cannot keep my promise of naming names today because my investigations are not complete. I think I’ll be ready on Tuesday. Meanwhile keep you ears and eyes open, if some of my findings so far are correct, something is going to give/crack as we go into the weekend and things will become a little clearer.
Have a watchful weekend.
Ok Dude, the picture that you paint is more peftrifying. Mercenaries in deed, t'would do the CID chief to be able to say without a whisper of a doubt that no search mercenaries exist from he's investigations.
