Mathare MP and minister for Sports Maina Kamanda, was asked for comment over the escalating violence in his constituency in he ealy days of skirmishes. His remarks were strange, bordering on the bizarre. He said that he did not see any major problem in Mathare. Was the MP frightened of the Mungiki?
Two city MPs have been linked to hooligans and terror groups in the past, and many a political opponent has quickly and rather painfully found out that these are not people to mess with. The two city MPs are Mathare MP Maina Kamanda and Embakasi MP (now assistant minister) David Mwenje who is on record as having publicly expressed support for Mungiki in the Moi days.

Join in our raging debate on the real cause of insecurity in Kenya.
Kamanda is the MP for Starehe. Mathare is in Kasarani.
ReplyDeleteYou are of course absolutely right. Thanx for the correction. When this correction was first pointed out to me a few minutes before I saw your comment, I asked myself the following question; What was Kamanda doing in Mathare? Has hacking people to death become a sport?
ReplyDeleteThere is something extremely fishy here. And why should tribal wars start when the general elections are around the corner?
I thought Moi went with the clashes.
Many Kenyan politicians think if they ignore an issue long enough, it will go away.
