  1. These foolish women will never understand the Mafia dirty games !Once their asassinated husbands are burried covered with A kenyan flag they will remain convinced thet ,their men were very great leaders hence being offered STATE FUNERAL!Some of these foolish Mamas will be re-married & sexed by their husbands Killears!

  2. ccVice President Kalonzo Musyoka in our picture was the very first senior government official to arrive at the scene of the Ngong disaster. He was clearly extremely shaken and his voice broke several times as he talked to the press moments after this picture was taken. Was he shaken by more than what he saw? Possibly by what he knew about those who may have caused this tragedy? The body nearest the camera is that of the late Orwa Ojode. If you look carefully you will be able to make out the shape of his head. His legs are missing. Further away from the camera is the body of Prof George Saitoti which is partly hidden by the tree. Eyewitnesses say he was still wearing his bullet proof vest which he almost never left behind. Other rumours claim that some people saw the professor attempt to jump out of the burning chopper. This is highly unlikely when you consider how fast the whole horror unfolded.

    Even when it was very obvious that the Moi avenue explosion last month was a bomb, professor George Saitoti still insisted on reaching for his favourite refuge. “It would be wrong and premature for anybody to start speculating before proper investigations have been carried out to establish the cause etc.”

    Those who knew the late professor well will tell you that this was indeed his favourite method of putting out political fires associated with the many controversies he was involved with during his eventful political career. His was always to plead for time for investigations knowing full well that with time people forget and move on and it becomes very easy to then diffuse any situation that would otherwise have badly exploded in his face.

    One wonders what Saitoti would have said and done was he given an opportunity to comment and make decisions on this latest tragedy that involved him. Just goes to show you how life has a strange way of causing things that you perpetuate wrongly to end up coming back to haunt you and affect you in one way or another.

    Pending the investigations still going on, it has become obvious to many observers and insiders that the helicopter accident that killed the Internal security minister and others is unlikely to have been an accident. Mounting evidence continues to point to foul play.

    Helicopters are very different from other aircraft in that they can land anywhere and so any emergencies can easily be taken care of in good time. In the Ngong crash there was no time to react which strongly suggests that either a bomb on board or ground to air missile may have been used. Even the injuries of the late Ojode whose remains appear most clearly on our photograph in this post suggest an explosion of sorts because his legs are missing.

    Admittedly there are other scenarios that would cause a fire and explosion in a helicopter but in all cases there would have been ample time to quickly land the chopper and get the occupants to safety long before the explosion.

    The fact that the bodies of Saitoti and Ojode were thrown so far away from the others would suggest that that the explosion happened closest to them and away from the engine (the usual source of a fuel fire and explosion). All the others bodies were found close to the engine. And so the question that Kumekuchans must busy themselves asking is a simple one; who would have wanted Saitoti dead? Clearly he was the target and the unfortunate Orwa Ojode was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. According to the information I am in possession of, the truth is extremely sensitive but there are plenty of clues to point us in the right direction. To me the most telling was the attempt to suggest that drug barons assassinated Saitoti. Such a suggestion is laughable and can only be accepted by the extremely naïve. Instead you need to look where your attention is being diverted from for the truth.

  3. EXCLUSIVE: Ojode’s family defend the inheritance row

    Earlier on, the DAILY POST carried a story on the inheritance row in the Ojode family (here it is>>>) and here is now a response from them unedited>>>

    “Everyone knows that wife inheritance is long gone and is never practiced as they purport to claim since no woman can be inherited immediately the man dies until the man brings back the dream (or as they call it kelo lek) which doesn’t happen in a day as you seem to portray.

    Secondly no Ojode family member including me has a problem with his widow, it’s the woman who seems to manufacture problems from the day the body arrived in South Nyanza first by destroying the program that had been developed and agreed upon and now chasing everyone in Runda including but not limited to the orphans the guy was taking care of and the workers who are related to Ojode and were working in his companies.

    She has brought in her brothers and sisters (which she has a right) who are now in control of everything.

    Our concern is the mother who solely depended on the son. We are people of our own means but at least let the mother be consoled for the sacrifices she underwent for her son being in a polygamous family where each woman struggled for her own kids to make them through which everyone knows her mother went overboard to put him where he is and supported him all his life.

    Yes the woman has a right to her husband’s property no argument but don’t the parents count somewhere?

    At least all we want is the mother to get something so that she can continue the legacy of his son of taking care of the orphans who have now been chased away and whose future may be destroyed and that is what the content of letter to the speaker is addressing.

    We don’t care if the lady went to Rwanda, Sudan or Tumbuktu but at Orwa had a mother who is still alive and may need some soft landing and consolation, which we know money or any property may not completely bring PERIOD!!.

    That’s a fact of life that any sane parent may want addressed and who else to put the case forward for the mother except the still living sons. Can’t one raise an issue on behalf of an illiterate old lady without being branded a traditionalist? Why are traditions being brought here while we are a Christian family that has never allowed such things even with our other bereaved family members, who were also politicians like Orwa?

    Whatever you say judge us but also be fair to a mother who is old and cannot seek employment anywhere and who has lost a very strong and committed bread winner.

  4. Replacing Ojode – 32 have a go at it
    Sunday, July 15th 2012 –32 aspirants are fighting aggressively in campaigning to succeed the former Internal Security Assistant Minister Orwa Ojode barely a month after his death.

    The succession battle of Ojode’s seat comes only days after the speaker of the National Assembly Kenneth Marende was given powers to declare the parliamentary seat for Ndhiwa , Kangema and Kajiado constituencies vacant to pave way for the by- elections.

    President Kibaki had assented to a bill that allowed the speaker to do so following some constitutional complications which had striped the speaker his power to declare the seats vacant.

    The Ndhiwa seat fell vacant after the death of Ojode in a plane crash together with George Saitoti. The aspirants have started campaigning seriously in gatherings and burials to sell their agenda to the people of Ndhiwa constituency.

    The former Ndhiwa MP, Tom Obondo, is one of the aspirants and in a burial ceremony of Debra Kalee in North Kanyamwa, Ndhiwa District, he asked the voters to give him back his seat. Obondo lost his seat to Ojode in 1994 after defecting from Ford Kenya to KANU.

    Other hopefuls include businessmen Hamilton Orata, Monica Amollo, Mireje Onyango, Collince Lore, Beatrice Ogolla and Manus Kideo among others.
