Mombasa Tuskys Supermarket Robbery


BREAKING NEWS: One kid has died and several others seriously injured after a grenade detonated in a Sunday School in Pangani.

Now the cowards going by the name of terrorists have turned their evil grenades on kids. Shame on them!!!

=============================
 Spate of Supermarket robberies that are never reported in the media
At least 7 heavily armed thugs broke into the Tuskys Digo Road Mombasa supermarket last night at about 9pm and made off with an unspecified amount of cash.

Sources within the giant supermarket chain have told a Kumekucha informant that the gangsters seemed to have a lot of inside information and even asked for the chief cashier, a Mr Waweru, by name. The timing of the robbery at 9pm shortly before closing time at 10pm at the end of the month and when workers of the supermarket had just been paid also points to the fact that the robbers must have gotten a lot of inside help and knew the best time to hit when they were bound to find the largest amount of cash available.

Conveniently the CCTV cameras at the supermarket were not working at the time of the raid because they had just been disconnected as workers expanded them into the next shop (formerly Little Chef Restaurant) which has recently been purchased by Tuskys in a bid to expand their floor space for the supermarket.

The robbers were so cool and confident that they took time to collect at least four heavy chests of coins and did not just take away the bank notes as is usually the case in most robberies these days.

But even more puzzling is how stories on robberies at the Supermarket are hardly ever reported. Barely a month ago the TMall Tuskys along Langata Road was robbed and gangsters got away with a staggering Kshs 24 million. Sources within the supermarket say that the directors of the retail chain usually go to great lengths to block any publicity on the robberies because they fear that it will scare away night shoppers a category of customers that is giving most supermarkets in Kenya colossal profits at the moment.

Thug Waititu's Incitement to Earn Murder Charges


He epitomizes superlative aggression, bravado and hands-on politician. He has never lost his City Hall antics and cares less what comes from his mouth. And to please his Embakassi voters he will tell them anything.
Hon Ferdinand Waititu called for expulsion of all Maasais from Kayole oblivious of the fact that he was pitting himself against two Maasais in the Minister for Internal Security Metito and Director of Public Prosecutions Tobiko.
Even his equally combative and theatrical colleague Sonko after spiriting him out of parliament with the help of gullible police would not bail him out his self-inflicted troubles. He simply invited it upon himself. And he wouldn't have let his lips loose at a bad time. Kenyans are too aware of serial violence during election cycles.
Waititu may have gotten away with murder before but this time the odds are mightily stuck against him. Even his political boss has disowned him. While Makwere may be gifted in spitting sweetened poison with his gliding tongue, Waititu never bothers about sch niceties.
Abrasively condemning a whole community infront of the camera is obtuse impunity. While Kenya has changed a great deal, many of its leaders still retain mindsets hard-wired in antics of yore.
AG Muigai has promised Waititu to serve as an example of what hate speech can earn. Let the lwa take its course hoping that Kenyan's landlords will not disregard courts like they did with county commissioners.
