Re: Political Assasinations under Kibaki
From: Rodgers Akombe
Edward,
You said, "Please give us news paper links like you always
do about these claims. I have heard it the first time from you...you
must be the some people you are talking of. You are saying Raila had more
to gain from Mbai's death? Shame on you!"
As per you request
Two ministers nearly
exchanged blows in the House yesterday.
Ms Martha Karua (Water
Resources) and Mr Raila Odinga (Public Works) were separated by colleagues
as they engaged in a bitter exchange on the Speaker's Walk.
Ms Karua was heard saying that Mr Odinga was a rumour monger and
that Kenya would not wish to have a prime minister who peddled rumours.
Mr Odinga followed
Ms Karua for about two metres but returned looking down, dejected.
Energy assistant minister Mwangi Kiunjuri, who was standing close
to the ministers during the argument, told the Nation that
Ms Karua told Mr Odinga that it was not by coincidence that a certain community
took one stand over Dr Mbai's death.
She reportedly said that it was no wonder that the majority
of the investigators were from two ethnic groups. (The police commissioner
of the day was Abong'o and investigating officers were Luo and Kalenjins)
The branding of Mr
Nyagah as a murderer highlighted bitter exchanges in Parliament, which changed
to a near-fracas outside, with MPs rushing to separate two Cabinet ministers;
Ms Martha Karua and Mr Raila Odinga.
The ministers clashed
over the accusations about the Mbai murder as they left the House and entered
Speaker's Walk.
As their conversation
– centred on claims that different communities had a hand in the killing
– become more agitated, MPs rushed forward to move them apart.
Earlier in the House, Mr Odinga was named by Mr Nyagah in connection
with Dr Mbai's killing, along with Baringo Central MP Gideon Moi.
And, naming two other
MPs he continued: "Mr Raila and Mr Moi should come out and speak because they
know a lot about this thing."
The two MPs later
rose to defend themselves, with Mr Moi demanding that Mr Nyagah substantiate
his allegation.
The angry, almost
physical, exchanges outside the chambers between Mr Odinga and Cabinet colleague
Martha Karua immediately afterwards were replete with accusations that brought
out sharply a bitter divide in Narc and the clearly ethnic undertones
