Standard newspaper and KTN Raids: The Inside Story

"Even During Moi And Kenyatta's Darkest Hours, This Never Happened..."


As Kenyans and the world are still reeling with shock over the incident this week where masked policemen armed with automatic weapons raided the oldest newspaper in Kenya, more questions than answers are emerging from this strange event that is unprecedented in Kenyan history.

I will not waste your time nor mine with long philosophical analysis littered with the words, “possibilities” “probable” etc. Instead I will get straight to the point with the raw information I have gathered so far. I have put all in a simple Q&A format. I focused my research to answer the questions everybody is asking. Questions in bold headlines, the answer I unearthed in text format.


Who Ordered Raid?

The whole operation to invade the Standard group was hatched by Internal Security Minister John Michuki (of the now famous rattle snake comment), CID Director Joseph Kamau and President Kibaki’s special advisor (on political strategy) Stanley Murage.

Intensive research by the Standard Newspaper itself which no doubt benefited greatly from volunteered information from the sympathetic public goes further and puts the the three in Michuki’s office along Harambee House, hours before the operation, supposedly fine-tuning everything.
