Then
a few days ago I received the following email;
Helo
there
if
you are using this tragic incident to make money then you are a fool, while
Kenya is mourning you are out with such malicious/unpresided theories for your
own benefit, i have been giving you a chance for you to fill my inbox with this
ill-intended stories, please don't send me such stories.
NONSENSE
Okay
I am not good at blowing my own trumpet but I recently commissioned somebody to
sift through the over 3,000 posts in Kumekucha and draw up some statistics on
how many times we have made correct predictions or broken stories that come to
the surface days, weeks and even many months later. They have not finished the
exercise but so far the figures stand at a staggering 95%. I have been vindicated
9.5 out of 10 times. I think the percentage will reduce by the time they are
done, but not by much.
We
said here in Kumekucha from Day one (moments after the accident) that the
Saitoti crash was NOT an accident. Many readers jeered, other were plain angry
at the very “ludicrous” suggesting. Who would want to kill Saitoti?
Here
is what was said in parliament yesterday. Read carefully between the lines and
draw your own intelligent conclusions;
- Mutito
MP Kiema Kilonzo, Kilgoris MP Gideon Konchella, Narok South MP Nkoidila Ole
Lankas and Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo insisted that they were in contact with the
families of Prof Saitoti and their lawyer Fred Ngatia who told them that they
were not happy with the direction the investigations were taking.
- Narok
South MP Nkoidila Ole Lankas said that the
scene of the crash was interfered with by unknown people in a bid to hide
evidence.
- MPs accused
the government of frustrating foreign investigators by refusing to facilitate
their enquiries. Consequently, the experts returned to South Africa on Wednesday
night because of frustrations by the Ministry of Transport.
- The
MPs also questioned why the government decided to upgrade the investigation
into a commission of inquiry even before investigations had come up with a
preliminary report on the cause of the crash.
- Nominated
MP Rachael Shebesh (ODM) said she had a dossier linking the “traffickers in
government” to the death of the two ministers. She added; “This is a very
sensitive issue that touches on the death of our colleagues and Parliament is
only used as a scapegoat when the actual traffickers are in government.”
- Ms
Shebesh got even more sensational with her remarks when she added; “We want
this information to come out only in the safety of a select committee, we have
not even said a third of what we know about the deaths of our two colleagues,
what we have can shut down this government.”
- Gichugu
MP and presidential aspirant Martha Karua then asked the Speaker to give Ms
Shebesh security and protection while the investigations are going on.
Today
I have only one thing to say. The government has used commissions of inquiries for
decades to reassure the public that they had nothing to hide. However from the
history of these expensive exercises that waste taxpayers funds, they always
end up proving the very opposite. If you were waiting for any conclusive
evidence to prove that the government is hiding something over the Saitoti
crash, then this is certainly it.
