People, This is very alarming. I cannot doubt the fears of Cabinet minister Mutula Kilonzo. The whole world should see what is going on and I wonder what they are waiting for. Very soon, everyone in opposition and critic of the Coalition Government, if they will not joint the corrupt, they will be silenced. When shall the United Nations and leaders of the world step in to save Kenyans. When shall Kenyans have hope that "Help is on the way"..... Although US President Obama has plenty in his hands right now, he must not wait, he should take a moment however crucial to intervene to help Kenya irrespective of all else. I fear for innocent and good people who genuinely want change but are stuck in the bondage of the corrupt. May God's help come in handly.......We Pray.....

By CAROLINE WAFULA cwafula@ke.nationmedia.com Posted Tuesday, June 26 2012 at 18:55 Cabinet minister Mutula Kilonzo has said his life is in danger. He told Parliament Tuesday that he received two messages in a span of 30 minutes in the afternoon telling him to "be ready to die". He said those sending him the threatening messages claimed responsibility for terrorist activities in Kenya, citing Sunday's grenade attack in Mombasa. The Education minister, who appeared disturbed by the messages, informed his parliamentary colleagues in a personal statement about the threats on his life, his family and his home after successfully moving debate on the TSC Bill, which sailed through. "Those sending the messages are telling me to be ready to die," he said. He proceeded to report the matter to police after Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim directed that his security be beefed immediately in view of the threats. Undermine noble efforts Mr Kilonzo, who was recently transferred from the Ministry of Justice, said he is ready to die for a just cause but that he found it necessary to inform the House just in case the threats are executed. "People like me do not do things to please anyone, I only do what is right for this country," he stated. "As a Christian, I am always ready to die, but it shouldn't come from the end of criminals and criminals out to undermine noble efforts," he said. He informed the National Security Intelligence Service about the threats. He told Parliament those threatening him have been using telephone numbers of their sponsors. Mr Kilonzo wants police to trace and arrest those behind the threats. He said he has been threatened before but never bothered to inform the National Assembly Speaker. "But with these two messages coming 30 minutes apart, I think you should know so that should anything happen to me then you will understand where it has come from, he said. The Minister said he will not be intimidated. "They are in for a shock because I have no intention of changing the way I talk and do things as a minister and in this Parliament, I am ready to die…," he said. Mr Maalim said the threats will be taken seriously as they touch on the personal safety of MPs. "This issue will be treated with all the seriousness it deserves," he said, directing the Sergeant at Arms to move with speed and boost the minister's security. "The minister should discharge his duties without any fear…..terrorists or pseudo terrorists will not deter government officials or leaders from doing their work with diligence and commitment as they have done before," he said.
 So soon just after Saitoti and Ojode demise. Kenya is amazing and wonders here will never cease. Stick to the truth Mutula. I used to have low opinion of you as Moi's lawyer. As a Cabinet Minister, you have proved to be reliable. Saitoti family cries foul over probe wreckage Photo/EMMA NZIOKA Police remove water that had accumulated on top of a plastic covering the helicopter engine during mapping out of the crash scene in Ngong Forest on June 26, 2012.

In Summary
Former Internal Security Minister George Saitoti's family has complained about delays in securing the wreckage of a helicopter which crashed in Ngong killing the minister and five others. The Saitoti family's lawyer, Mr Fred Ngatia, on Tuesday protested the delays in mapping out the scene and removal of the wreckage from the crash site citing possible deterioration of the exhibits, besides increasing the cost of retaining two experts they had brought in from South Africa. Family members met chief investigator George Mc'Owenga on Monday and expressed their disappointment with the pace of the investigations. Sixteen days after the crash at Kibiku in Ngong Forest, which killed Prof Saitoti, his assistant Orwa Ojode and four police officers, the government has not found a place to secure the wreckage. On Tuesday, the probe team visited the scene for mapping but could not take the metals, citing further consultations among concerned ministries. Mr Mac'Owenga said that the ministry of Internal Security and that of Defence had not yet agreed on where to keep the wreckage. The scene was mapped out on Tuesday, The experts marked the general area of the incident, identified the centre of reference, and marked the scattered metals. The experts checked all the parts that were strewn at scene, even scooping the soil to extract what could have been buried underneath. The team was supposed to do the mapping out on Friday and remove the exhibit the following day . Mr Mc'Owenga blamed the delays on bureaucracy involving the logistics. Mr Ngatia said that he would seek a formal session with the team today to register their concerns. "Our main concern is the quality of investigation and the cost of retaining these experts here," he said. Last week, Justice Rawal suggested that the wreckage be kept at a secure location with the Kenya Airforce and the key be retained with her but by yesterday no decision had been arrived at. |
