The sad thing about Kenya is that there are so many who know the entire truth behind the so-called “mysteries”, but choose to keep quiet about it.In this age of technology, all one needs is to open a phoney email account, then post the information on the web to lift the veil off these killers of our future generations.On the Radio Maisha program,”Tukuza” yesterday was a boy who was testifying that he grew up in Mombasa, and by class 6 he was using heroin,that he needed to purchase it for a minimum of Ksh.1000/- daily.
We need to take courage as a nation and confront the drugs menace head on before it is too late.This culture of silence is what made the late Hezekiah go to the grave with all he knew about the late Minister Ounko’s death.It is my former Bishop,Boniface Adoyo who used to say “Don’t waste death”;Since we will all die anyway, ensure you die having left behind information that will help those being left behind.If you know that Kabogo or Mwau is a drug dealer, pass that information to the US embassy or anyone who will take steps;keeping it to oneself never helps.That is why I am not happy with her firends who are keeping quiet.If they give the numbers of who is sending the threatening SMSs the owners can be traced.If I was in their shoes I’d run to the US Embassy for assylum the way the Muites did in the eraly 1990s.
It is sad Mercy is gone in very suspect circumstances, but let her killers know that there is a righteous judge who will one day judge the deeds of all men done in this body, whether good or evil.

I can not agree with you no more than what you said in your well articulated article. You covered everything a concerned Kenyan should have done. You hold the same sentiments as I did the first time I bumped into this sad and very disturbing news of a young and promising girl being brutary murdered and dumped on a busy highway so as to make it look like she was hit by an unknown motorist. Your story is so immotional and has made my tear glands to overflow. The very first day I read the story which has been changed a million times just to protect the so called big dude who was said to have had a conflontation with the late Ms. Keino moments before she boltted out in protest of whatever late night “business” meeting, I immediately responded back and said that our beloved sister was killed by drug dealers under the order of their boss who was present. She was murdered by Mungiki goons and drug peddlers. What kind of business meeting should a honorable MP attend in the wee hours of the night, whose largest number of audiences was young girls half his age? The MP should have been home in bed thinking about government policies to enact in the chamber and not running the streets like a moron. Or he could have been somewhere else in the company of other policy makers or city shackers and movers but not at the venue where he was, of all the places. They do their dirty part time jobs in the midddle of the night and when their names are blacklisted in the dossiers of foreign countries as drug Kingpins, they claim that they are being victimized because of their billions. The ball is now in commissioner Iteere and his lieutenant’s toes to have this issue resolved and if in any case he fails to excute his duties in apprehending and prosecuting the culprits of this case, then he can do Kenyans a favor and quit the office of police commissioner so that we can have a vetted chap who can give us justice where its due. The case is a straight foward shoot and even someone like me who has never taken any climininal justice classes can tell you who killed Mercy. What about Iteere and his guys? Mercy’s spirits are still crying down on you folks seeking justice brother commissioner. All she needs is JUSTICE!!! On my earlier posting, I had said that her death will or should not go down in vain. Please, Please as my brother Miguna Miguna has strongly appealled to you and your guys in his strongly worded article, please do the needfu and give Mercy’s family some JUSTICE!!!
Finally, these mid-night drug busness should seize otherwise, if left to continue they will cost you your manpower; you alredy lost one last who just collapsed and perished while on the line of duty. How many more do you have to loose before you say enough is enough and enough to take action? Many officers have either been transfered or shot dead by the influence of drug barons. Very soon, our beloved country will be transformed into a new Mexico in Africa. We don’t want to be called Kenyan-Latinos when travelling across the Atlantic just like most Nigerians are. We need you to pull up your socks and our Commissioner John Ngunjiri #2 who is collecting taxes in arrears from the “land-owners”. Why don’t you do the same? I can assure you, we will cover your back!! Just protetect the poor and defenseless people in Kenya. If you have seen recent political developments at Jogoo Hse, Nrb you might get my point.
Happy 4th to you commissioner
