Mugabe Were ODM opposition Mp shot dead





Women cry outside Mugabe Were's house.
Mugabe Were an ODM Mp for Embakasi was shot dead this morning, outside his home in Woodley.

The police are treating it as a murder, and have not ruled out political motives. Riots broke out in Nairobi, and sources on the ground say parts of Ngong Road, are no go areas today.

I find it outrageous that when mourners went to Mugabe Were's house to pay their condolences, they were teargased, at his house.

It is normal in Kenya for people to pay their condolences, and wail, why do the security forces teargas mourners who are unarmed?

This is disrespectful and not right, but then at this moment and time, nothing is right in Kenya.What upsets me is the people who should know right from wrong, do not.

Chris at Kumekucha wonders whether there is any link between Mp Mugabe Were's killing and the recent reshuffle in the Kenya police.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mugabe Were's family and all the people in Kenya who have been killed, hurt and displaced.

In the meantime the Mungiki are forcibly recruiting Kikuyus to fight.

Things are bad.

I guess the police wanted to give them something to really cry about. Morbid humor aside I do think that this is a sad state of affairs that should let our leaders know that they too are not immune to what is going on in our country.
mungiki is a cancer on the skin of Kenya that seems to be very very hard to get rid of. It just keeps on coming back!

Acolyte,

It is a very sad state of affairs, and I feel sickened by it.

It seems that Mungiki are protected and supported by the government now, so god help us.
