Mutahi Ngunyi: Saitoti Eliminated by Drug Barons

Political scientist Mutahi Ngunyi has sensationally claimed on K24 that the late Prof Saitoti was most likely assassinated, by drug barons fearing he would exposed them.

After dismissing Saitoti's presidential bid as weightless, the Consulting House commentator lists numerous enemies lined against Saitoti including Al-Shabaab and the fear he would be a prosecution witness at the Hague in his capacity at the chair of parliamentary ICC committee. Hypothesising three fronts as cause for Saitoti's death, Ngunyi concludes that Ojode was just a collateral damge, being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The target according to him was the Internal Security Minister and Police Commissioner Iteere.

Artur brothers

Well, true to our national tradition no politician dies accidentally or naturally. But linking Saitoti's death to the drug lord can only be wished away by those who are only comfortable with the easy/cheap explantions after seeing the Jicho pevu investigations.

The imagination of Saitoti tabling his report about the Artur brothers must have sent a chill down the spine of the untouchables. Add that to the fact that they couldn't afford Saitoti's price then elimination remains the sure guarantee. You see Saitoti is no Chris Murungaru.

We must be ready to pay the ultimate prize of being a NARCO STATE. Na bado.

Saitoti: Why it was murder most foul

Shameless Moi Laughs Loud at Saitoti's Grave

So Moi now believes the late Prof Saitori was capable of higher leadership. Well, he couldn't be more right with his eulogy that “Saitoti was the cornerstone which the builders ignored,” mourned the former president." Except he failed to accept that he tops the list of those builders who refused the cornerstone. Hypocrisy!!

Even before the late Saitoti is provided with a grave to turn in disgust, former President Moi was at his home lying through his spacious teeth.

By declaring that he was campaigning for Saitoti's presidency, Moi must be at his vintage best taking Kenyans for fools. The good professor of Kenyan politics has conveniently forgotten KISIRANI KASARANI.

It seems Moi's humiliation of Saitoti was not complete before the former retired from politics in 2002. Moi is still determined to shamelessly punctuate the slander with a period over Saitoti's dead body.

One can only imagine the counterfactual if Moi backed Saitoti in 2002. May as Kenya's third president he would have been using more secure helicopters and still alive. But such speculations can only go as far as helping enlarge Moi's obtuse ego at deceit.



On the flipside assuming Moi was rooting for Saitoti so what? He lost his political midas touch and rungu in 2002. Who knows maybe Saitoti would have been comprehensively beaten just like his project then.

Moi may boast having known Prof Kinuthia Kiarie for along time having plucked him from his dusty and chalky offices in Chiromo. But the meteoric rise also spelt the beginning of Saitoti's nightmare.

The son of Muthengi was constantly stalked by both perceived and real murderous shadows. No wonder bullet proof vest formed his second layer of skin.

Moi's insensitive and shameless lies about Saitoti makes the hitherto powerman and evil total man (BIKINI) Biwott look like a saint.

Granted, Saitoti had his hands in many scams including the heinous Goldenberg. But for civility sake Moi and his ilk must not laugh nor ululate on his grave. Shame.
