New Clues In Mwandoni Shooting Raises Puzzling Questions
A brief investigation by this writer into a bizarre shooting incident in Mombasa recently has raised even more puzzling questions.
The incident involved the shooting of innocent Kenyans during a robbery at a petrol station in Mwandoni area, Mombasa.
This week, MPs have put the government on the spot concerning the increased wave of violent crime and killings and it seems with good reason. The reason why the Mwandoni incident was so bizarre was that the killings were random. Usually thugs will kill victim who resist and other times they will kill their victims anyway, even when they comply. However in the Mwandoni incident, the thugs dragged a passenger out of a matatu that had come into the petrol station and shot them dead. They also shot a motorist dead.
What was the motive? Were the strange shootings part of a bigger plot to heighten insecurity in the country in preparation for the assassination of certain ODM leaders, as Raila claims?
Through my impeccable sources, I have unearthed some puzzling details linked to the Mwandoni shootings;
1) Mwandoni is within the expansive Kisauni constituency that belonged to former minister, now deceased, Karisa Maitha. Spates of violent crime are not uncommon in the area and that is why the owner of the petrol station that was raided took a number of precautions. He donated a brand new vehicle which he fuels, to a nearby police station so that patrols in the area could be intensified. This has been very effective in curbing crime. It is also a well known fact that plain clothes policemen are always stationed at the petrol station that was raided. However on the fateful day of the raid, those policemen were strangely nowhere to be seen? I do not believe in conincidences. Where were the police officers on that day when they were needed most?
2) A few days before the Mwandoni shooting residents of the neighboring Mtopanga had loud gun shots in the evening, at about 7 pm. When they peered outside, they saw a young woman covered in blood and writhing in pain on the road. Thugs had thrown her out of the car and shot her, before speeding away. She was rushed to hospital. There were no other details available about this particular incident. This particular incident never made it to the news. This is clear evidence that not all violent crime makes it to the news.
However the Mwandoni shootings were prominently reported in the media. Was this deliberate? Did somebody want to ensure that the bizarre indiscriminate killings at the Mwandoni petrol station were reported?

Intimate interview with Alnoor Kassam reveals astonishing business secrets that can be applied in Kenya or anywhere else in the world.

Why is it that Raila seems to know all this top-secret government meetings and goings on? Remember the Artur brother's saga? (Incidentally Raila says that one of them is back in the country). Does Raila have a mole in the highest echelons of government and if so, who is it?
The answer to these questions is shocking and too sensitive even for this blog. So I have answered it in great detail via email to my subscribers.

Grandpa's Presidential Race
President Kibaki recently celebrated his 76th birthday during the climatic changes summit in Nairobi and had various world dignitaries sing happy birthday for him, including outgoing UN chief Koffi Annan.
This means that if we go to the polls in December as is widely expected, the President will be 77 years old then. And if he wins re-election, he will complete his second term at the age of 82.
His running mate in the 2007 presidential race has been identified as yet another prominent grandpa, Moody Awori (or Uncle Moody, as he is affectionately called by Kenyans) who tries very hard to look as young as possible by shaving his head clean.
Maybe the President's handlers should borrow the clean-shaven head idea from the VP and do the same for their candidate. He might look much younger and more electable.
Prominent members of the President's election team will include Njenga Karume and Mutahi Kagwe's father in law and grandpa to his children, John "Standard Raid" Michuki.
One of the reasons why the first proposed Yash Pal Ghai constitution was rejected was because it put an upper age limit on presidential candidates. This was one of the first sections to be quickly changed.
At this rate maybe Michuki and Karume should consider running for the presidency after Kibaki's second term is over. That way our place in the history will be assured. And while we are at it, why don't we also actively seek a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the cabinet with the most grandpas in Africa, this could be a major boost to our tourism marketing.
