One prominent cabinet minister missing from today's Madaraka Day celebrations in Nairobi was Internal Security chief John Michuki. No, he's not out of the country. He was busy and actually has his hands very full just now.
Last night two assistant chiefs were murdered in cold blood in two different constituencies in Central province. The first incident took place in Kangema (Hon Michuki's constituency) and the other murder happened in Othaya (President Kibaki's constituency). What is even more worrying is the fact that initial reports indicated that both incidences were Mungiki-related. It is hard not to imagine that somebody was trying to pass a message, albeit in a rather bloody way.
Assistant Chief Geofrey Mwangi of Kangema and two of his relatives were shot dead at his home last night. The incident is said to have occurred at about 8 pm. The gunmen did not even bother to disguise the murder as a robbery, as they often do these days and did not demand for any cash and nor did they take away anybody's mobile phone.
In the Othaya incident, Assistant chief Richard Maina Chege was waylaid as he arrived home at about 11 pm and shot in the head and chest. He died instantly.
It is interesting to note that the Mungiki killings so far have mainly been in Kiambu and of the two incidents of last night are confirmed, then it will be the first time that Mungiki activities have reached the normally peaceful Othaya (previously under Nyeri District) and Muranga.
Yesterday in this blog I talked about the behind-the-scenes politics in the governments firm decision to deal with the Mungiki affair and it would seem that the murders of last night confirm that there is a very serious war that is now going on in Kenya.
In his Madaraka speech earlier today President Kibaki issued a very firm no-nonsense warning to those who thought that they could go ahead and kill other Kenyans and still expect to continue living in peace. The President even said that such people should expect to be killed without mercy for their actions.

ReplyDeleteWhich politician will benefit most if the kikuyu are put in fear in central province for them not to turn out to vote in huge numbers? look at any one aspiring to be president and is not from central... you will have your "mungiki" financier and the reason why we dont call them mungiki, is beacuse they are just hired gangs to cause instability in central which as been a key point in landslide voting... Note areas affected are the most populated... Nyeri, Kiambu, Muranga... Its all political and the sad truth is that these are these leaders financing this mayhem are the same people who want to lead us. I am 100% sure, the gun killings are done by someone who is in the force thats why its becoming very hard to get them because they are in the police.
