Mbunge wa Kabete Nairobi, Mh. George Muchai auawa kwa kupigwa risasi

Yah, hii inakuja Dar muda si mrefu... watu wanaadvance sasa na wataanza kula vichwa vya haohao wanasiasa
 
The incident is similar to the assissinan of Gambino family boss Paul Castellano in 1980 by Russian Mafias ordered by John Gotti in collaboration with Sammy 'The Bull'. What I have learnt here is that even owning and carrying a gun does not guarantee you safety.

FEBRUARY 7, 2015

Nairobi, Kenya: Kabete MP George Muchai, his two bodyguards and a driver were early Saturday morning shot dead in cold blood at Kenyatta Avenue-Uhuru Highway roundabout in Nairobi.

The four were driving in a Toyota Fortuner vehicle when a masked gunman shot them at close range at about 2.30am. They all died on their seats save for one bodyguard who seemed to have passed on as he tried to step out.

Witnesses said they had stopped at the roundabout near Nyayo House to buy the day's newspapers when a white salon Probox hit the vehicle on the right side and stopped few meters ahead.

It was then that a masked gunman armed with an AK-47 rifle stepped out and first shot the driver then turned to the rest of the victims.

Muchai was a first time MP. He joined Parliament in the March 2013 elections on a TNA ticket.

The gunman fired about ten bullets before he went for two pistols that the bodyguards had and a briefcase that was in the car. Muchai's gun was found on his holster. He was a licensed gun holder.

Nairobi head of CID Nicholas Kamwende who was among the first top cops to arrive at the scene termed the incident as murder.

Kenya adopting dangerous gun culture

Off duty police and retired soldiers are the most popular assassins for hire

These days "breaking news" is dominated by strikes, demos and industrial suites. A while ago, every other message was about the killing of "suspects" and "armed bandits" by the security forces. Not anymore. Not that the killings have stopped, just that it is old news and an everyday event.

Picture the last time that the killing of robbers made front-page news. Extra-judicial killings or deaths at the hands of bandits rarely make headlines unless, of course, the victim is well known or more than two policemen died.

Why the indifference? Have we lost our sense of outrage? Have we become anesthetised due to the growing crime rate or paralysed by our inability to hold law enforcement agents accountable?

Whatever the case, one thing for sure is that Kenya, either by design or default, is adopting a very dangerous gun culture.

In the process life is becoming cheap, killings are acceptable and rarely investigated and killers can be hired for as little as Sh5,000.

Off-duty police and retired soldiers are the most popular assassins for hire.

All of this came home to me after reading a report by the Independent Medico Legal Unit, titled Guns: Our Security: Our Dilemma.

The very detailed research focused on post-mortem reports from death by firearms in six urban centres: Mombasa, Nairobi, Nakuru, Kakamega, Kisumu and Nyeri during the period 2009-13. The unit looked at 1,873 killings and discovered that 96 percent of them occurred in Nairobi. That makes the nation's capital a very dangerous place.

WAR ON CRIME

More worrying still is that 67 per cent of the killings, i.e., 1,254, were by law enforcement officers. This makes disturbing reading when you consider that only 259, or 20 per cent, of the deaths were at the hands of robbers. One can then claim that you are five times more likely to die at the hands of police than criminals in Kenya. Others, of course, may see these figures as confirmation that police are winning the war on crime.

However, what is critical in this research is that post-mortem reports and the P23A forms prepared by police indicate a high degree of unprofessionalism in recording the cause of death and justification for using firearms.

In the police report Form P23A no reason was recorded in 790 of the police cases for shooting suspects dead. In the autopsy reports, pathologists recorded "a high rate of missing data". Sloppy reports and the absence of scientific evidence not only indicate indifference to the killing of Kenyans.

NO ACCOUNTABILITY

It also reveals that there are no accountability systems in any oversight mechanism. Put another way, Kenyans get killed and no one demands an explanation, they just become another statistic in another report.

This week, police vetting will resume. It has been a flawed exercise from the outset, focusing on cops' bank accounts and illicit affairs.

Where are the families of these 1,254 recorded by the medical legal unit, the parents of Mungiki victims and the 435 killed by police in the post-election violence?

Where, too, are the families of police slaughtered in Baragoi and Kapedo? Do we still believe in the sacredness of life and the duty to investigate every killing?
