GOD is great that Saitoti and Ojode are dead dodo !They diedwhen both were on planning and scheming their Evil Missions of eliminating innocent blood of Wakenya:
The Next perhaps will be their Chief of all evils in Kenya Emilio Mwai Kibaki!
Emir Pasha. You are a SICK EMISSARY of SATAN HIMSELF. When did you sell your souls to the devil?
Emir Pasha you are a very silly , stupid and brainless………….shame on you bastard.
Emir Pasha is right. Saitoti has stolen billions from kenyans killing thousands of Kenyans. he deserved to die instead of being allowed to use the money ya uizi to try and become president of Kenya. I am with you Pasha. In Muslim land, everybody could be shouting allah wakbar.
What a selfish comment?
its so sad foor Kenya. Let us together pray for our country. ” We shall overcome”
migingo
All so called leaders in thatpt country needs to die because they are all corropt and evil. I have no sympathy for any of them whatsoever. No one cries when innocent kenyans die of hunger but one looter dies and then we begin to weep. This is why wakenya ni wajinga na muta endelea ku kaa hivyo hivyo if you don’t wake up.
The old guard continues to wither away one by one
Who voted for these leaders if not you? Karim and Dudu Mbaya should stop the puerile hate speech and also stop enjoining muslims into their sick scheme. You cannot celebrate the death of a perceived enemy unless you are suffering from schizophrenia or worse! Are you al Shabaab or Boko Haram?
Dudu Mbaya… I hope u have another citizenship. Even then, u r still Kenya na wewe ni mjinga kama sis tu!! u should be thinking of what u can do about the corruption not what they should do. Dont just sit there… do something.
I repeat. There are leaders killing kenyans instead of leading them. This is not hate speech. it is natural justice.
IT IS WITH GREAT FEAR THAT I PASS MY MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCES TO THE BERIEVED FAMILIES OF THESE GREAT LEADERS OF THIS GREAT NATION…REST IN PEACE
hmm no need to act as tho we are bereaved ,it is only their immediate family members who are affected! sad for then. as for tax paying kenyans 2 less million shilling swallowing creatures
just like in the bible.if you know you have not sinned be the first to condem saitoti.we all have our short commings despite how nice we may be so we should not be quick to judge others.
These deahs are a sad story; but not as sad as the story of hatred, division and disillution in the minds of our people. The comments made here, and those not yet made, attest to this.
I urge all those who are celebrating these deaths to come out of their shells and take leadership roles to root out our country all the ill dids they are claiming. What u should remember is that celebrating now does not solve the problem. There will be new Goldengergs, Aglo Leasing, etc. Even NHIF has emerged. Sitting on your butts out there and sending isolated and unhelful messages does nothing. I am doing something about it myself.
why do allow people who are not kenyans to comment here some who left oman and yemen to sell kenyans in zanzibar slave market they never really understand the pains of fighting for the indepence of kenya from the white man fare thee well TRUE SONS OF KENYA
EMIR PASHA SHOULD BE DEPORTED TO YEMEN AND OMAN WHERE THEY CAME FROM TO SELL KENYANS IN A SLVAE MARKET IN ZANZIBAR
IN THE NEXT CONSTITUTION SAID BARGASH AND SAID SEYYED CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BECOME CITIZENS OF KENYA THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO OMANI AND EVEN PAY KENYA FOR CRIME AGIANST HUMANITY FOR SELLING KENYANS GADDAFI MADE ITALY PAY LIBYA
KSB: Stop commenting in capital letters otherwise yr comments won’t be approved.
While we mourn and say “Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, since it tolls for thee”, We may nevertheless, ask: Why does this country purchase ‘junk’ aircraft? Why do those leaders/commanders ‘siphon’ monies meant for repairs/upgrades of these junks? Should we continue blaming God for the ‘tragic’ consequences arising from such ‘sins’?
The amount of money politicians have looted is so big that when they die this way, it becomes understandable why some kenyans may feel that it is just for them to go.
Why thi hatrade and venom when we have just lost our leaders? We should pray for the families and not engage in cheap gossip that will be of no help.
EMIR PASHA, its only Satan who celebrates when a calamity occurs. Am sure you are his perfect agent!
Otherwise, the country will miss the six great Kenyans.
when are you planning to detonate your selves so that you can go to the heaven of your god and be given gifts of many wives?
Emir, karim, dudu and sitima, why dont you pick a Datura stramonium fruit and stick it up your butt*?
And am thinking, what if you died today to fix the error in your comments?
Maybe now Kenyans can look forward to real peace and security. Still may his soul rest in peace
Emir, karim, dudu why dont you pick a Datura stramonium fruit and stick it up your butt*?
And am thinking, what if you died today to fix the error in your comments?
KSB: you seem to be the same person posting as ‘Fruitcake’. Please, use one handle.
It’s a tragedy for the people of Kajiado County and Kenya at large following the untimely demise of Prof George Saitoti and his team in the chopper accident. I recall the great moments with Hon Saitoti when we criss-crossed Kajiado Central in 2007 seeking votes for our party PNU. Our hearts and deep condolence goes to Margaret Saitoti, the family, friends, the people of Kajiado North and the Nation of Kenya for the loss of a great leader. May our Lord give peace and courage to the family to face the challenges ahead. We will miss Prof Saitoti. May God rest his soul in eternity. Amen
We hv lost good people and it is a great loss.God knows better.peace be upon the families .
Innahlillahi waina illahi rajiun. He who without a sin late him/her cast the first stone.
Att. 2 all Kenyans: Prof George Saitoti has been a long term political leader & no political leader would have worn his way without the support of the majority. This indicate that he was of more advtge than disadvtge. Otherwise lets not regreet 4 our deeds to the limit of dinieing the rights of corps. Its prudent to do the right thing at the right time. Acheni kumlaumu mja kwa kujikaruza kwa kucha zenu wenyewe. It’s time 2 sympathise wid the entire family of de deceased & send our words of condolence while looking forward how best we can fill the gap. Its fruitless 2 act so wildish & inhuman while our brothers & sisters if nt neighbours r mourning, regardless of their religion, race, or biography. Rem God is wid those who r patient!
Dear fellow Kenyans, human beings have never made the world web, nor r they part of it but only a thread in it. Whatever we do 2 the web, be it good or bad, we do it 2 ourselves either directly or indirectly. This is why wise men say history repeat itself. In view of de above logic, i plead 2 de Kajiado County residents & de entire Kenyans to be concious of our thots, words & deeds towards de death of our late prominent leader Prof. George Saitoti along wid others. It’s wise 2 think that we only know where we came from but hard 2 predict what’s coming forth for us to our ending. Its of great worth to hold ur words if u’ve nothing important to say. The soul of de Professor is no more wid us, ur hate words would only provoke de hearts of de mourners who r just like u & me. Mkikosana na kuku msiingilie mayai. Above all no leader in history has ever missed blames why Saitoti? Tuache yaliyopita na tugange yaliyomo na yajayo! Its high time to say “lets not be bitten in de same hole twice”. Regards!
The whole world celebrated when Osama Bin Laden died being killed by the dreaded Navy Seal of the USA!
In the bible the Children of Israelis Jubilated when David killed Goliath their greatest enemy!
The Whole Western Europe celebrated When Adolf Hitler died and defeated !Q HNow Comes (Kenya Silly& foolish African Wail & gnash their teeth when a person who orders the killings of Kenyan youth and One of the Goldenberg architect and a benifitter dies through his diety missions then the Native fools cries when the hard of GOD has cut their oppressor and ended his evil deeds for ever.
You who are crying answer this Question where was Saitoti taking all those billions of Shillings when Kenya economy is in shambles.
Wake up you idiot Kenyans and smell the crashed chopper.
What was the couse of the Helicopter crash? Was Saitoti a threat to any of the Presidential aspirants?
Who among the presidential contenders who would asassinate Saitoti?
Saitoti was holding one of the Most crucial ministry of security Of late a very great British baron was killed by saitoti corrupt Policemen inside a Mopmbasa Police station ! Saitoti failed or refused to act on these rogue policemen!
Many other prominent business men in kenya had been gunned down by thugs Yet Saitoti failed miserably to arrest the culpulits(wrongdowers)
Could these facts contribute to sacrifice Saitoti?
Wasnt Saitoti a failure as Kenyas Home security minister?
please come with your theories.
if shabaab fight for allah why are they running away from AMISOM forces Karim Muiru got cannot let his forces be bitten that tells us this fighters are satanic and just a sack of shit AMISOM will send them to their king satan!
Emir pasha stay wherever you are you must have been brought up by naked apes!!!!!! Kenya is for any black person but not the brainwashed fellows brought up from prostitute money you will burn in hell holding whatever book!!!
Its sooo sad for such a man like saitoti to av dead…i dont believe it….it must av been an alshabaab terror.
It very sad for us kenyans, for the lose of our great kenyans may god rest there soul in peace,
If my parents died hu iz he nt 2 die..na afe!..may God rest hiz soul in chaos.! A silent killer!

George Muthengi Kinuthia Saitoti! Lessons from the Past – When will Kenyans learn.

George Muthengi Kinuthia Saitoti! Lessons from the Past – When will Kenyans learn.
Hard and painful thoughts cross our minds today. In one sense We mourn all the Kenyans who perished today in the Chopper crash.
1. Captain Nancy Gituanja
2. Captain Luke Oyugi
3. Inspector Joshua Tonkei
4. Sergeant Thomas Murimi
5. Orwa Ojode
6. George Saitoti
Today. It is with great difficulty that we mourn George Saitoti as a hero (according to Kenyan mass media); because a hero, he was not.
The truth in Kenya is that we forget, and we forget quickly. It was Prof. George Saitoti of the University of Nairobi Mathematics Department, who drove his VW Beetle (a well documented fact) into the Treasury Building parking lot when Daniel Arap Moi first appointed him Minister for Finance. Prof. Saitoti never looked backed, abandoning his VW Beetle motorcar for a Mercedes Benz and when he became Vice-President took on his motorcade as his chosen mode of travel. The VW Beetle motorcar was to rust in the car park— abandoned and disowned – and forgotten completely.
But what irks us is that George Saitoti was the Minister of Finance in the Moi regime in the 1990s when his Ministry and Kamlesh Pattni perpetrated the Goldenberg fraud. Goldenberg cost the country over Ksh 158 billion according to a Judicial Commission of Inquiry appointed by President Kibaki in 2003. The Inquiry identified and named over a dozen individuals as perpetrators – and George Saitoti was on that list of shame.
Following the Inquiry publishing its final report the Attorney General handed over the report and evidence to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Kenya Police; directing them to complete further investigations and report to him for the purposes of criminal prosecution of the perpetrators. George Saitoti went to court and controversially obtained orders expunging his name from the Inquiry Report and barring his prosecution by the Attorney General. The Attorney General immediately appealed this decision, which he declared to be unconstitutional in a strongly worded statement. The Appeal was quietly dismissed for technical reasons in 2011.
Meanwhile George Saitoti’s political career proceeded smoothly and in 2008 he was promoted from the Ministry of Education to take over as Minister for Internal Security. Fortune had conspired it seems to make George Saitoti the political head of the Criminal Investigation department which the Attorney General directed to investigate him.
He was now in charge of the evidence against him and the so-called Goldenberg International Limited. Were Kenyans expected to believe that Prof. Saitoti was to investigate himself or that indeed the evidence was still intact? Apparently yes! Or maybe not!
Saitoti is now gone – as is Kanyotu and Riungu – but Goldenberg must not be allowed to go unpunished. Goldenberg cost Kenya 10% of its GDP. The inquiry cost Kenyan tax payers over Ksh15 million per month and ran over 2 years. Most of the culprits identified by the Bosire Commission are now dead and over Khs 158 Billion traced is now at threat of non – recovery.
The 2 principals of the Grand Coalition, Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga, know that George Saitoti was not cleared over Goldenberg. Indeed the Prime Minister once sought to bring a private criminal prosecution against Saitoti – a charge that was quashed by Amos Wako.
Political expediency being what it is, Kibaki and Odinga decided to turn a blind eye to the biggest corruption log in the eye of the Government – Goldenberg. Which begs the question why was George Saitoti such a sacred cow? And who will pay Kenyans now as both Principals lead by example in this hero worship message of impunity? Meanwhile Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi sits pretty in so-called presidential retirement.
We mourn, not for George Muthengi Kinuthia Saitoti, but for his wife and Children, and all the other wonderful Kenyans who God took too soon.
We still want answers and recovery of the hundreds of Billions looted from the Goldenberg Scandal. Who is the beneficiary of the stolen loot; we must not relent. And we must not glorify those who steal Kenyan funds. This is the truth, and this is a bitter pill we must chew and swallow – to get better, because as Kenyans, we suffer from a disease called Impunity. Sadly, some think the cure for this very contagious disease – is death by servant. It is not! Someone has the stolen loot. The only question is who, and, where! Let’s collect, the loot belongs to the People of Kenya.
