Two youngsters linked to the outlawed Mungiki sect, were yesterday summarily excuted by members of the community policing group (vigilante) in E. Mathira District. This has happened just a few days after their Mungiki kingpin along with his 20 subject members were set flee when Wako decided to drop their murder charges. This sent shock waves throughout the country with many citizens pointing fingers at the already over decomposed judicial system which has failed them several times. It’s stuff like this which pushes the local “natives” (as the Excutive refers them) all the way to the wall and take the law into their own hands to seek justice since Wako and his cahoots have failed to deliver it to them. Our judicial system has is so much decayed beyond that of Zimbambe or S.Africa during the apartheid regime. It is construed to benefit the chosen few in the inner circle of state power -“the politically correct”. These policy makers make policies which don’t concern them but for the common man.
State house is no longer the house it used to be. It’s a nerve centre of chaos and man-made disasters under the auspices of Gen Kaguoya and his MKM troops. These folks only think of survival of their regime by hook or crook, promotion of tribal divisions and ethnic clashes, genocide starvation going on in Kenya right now, perfection of assasination and torture (Prof. Mbai, David were, etc), rigging of elections and the looting of national wealth. As for security, look at your own back, Period!!!!! The question many wananchi are asking is; why did Wako rush these Kungiki gangsters to court before he had concluded his investigation to make sure that he was going to put them behind bars for a substintial length of time? He spent a good sum of the tax payer’s cash in the name of conducting some flimy type of investigations, only to let the culprits walk out of court scot-free. We have a long way from developing our mangled judicial system!!! I highly commend those village vigilantes for what they are doing to get justice for the defenceless man. If Wako and his hencemen had done their homeworks in entirety, and put these two youngsters where they purportely belonged as per the villagers, they probably could be alive today and everybody could be happy that justice has at least dawned upon them. It is not the responsibility of the common people to provide security for themselves, it’s the government’s task.
This is not the first time a high profile case is ended in a very clumsy way. Muthemba who is Sir. Mugane Charles Njonjo’s 1st cousin, was let go free by the “lords of the soil” for lack of sufficient evidence to incriminate him of the treason case he was charged with (1983). Then came the Anglo leasing, Goldenburg etc that Wako has absolutely failed to prosecute. How does he think with his masters, corruption will be at least curtailed in Kenya without sending any influential crook behind bars as a way to deter it? That is why we all need the judicial system reforms to be enacted without any further ado. Please join me to strongly support President Obama’s efforts to bring these long awaited judicial, land and constitutional reforms in Kenya. His promises have started to show us that he is a gentleman who keeps his word. Mr. Wako is now a “persona non grana” in the USA. Bravo!!! President Obama and your efforts will never go in vain!! You are our new MOSES bro! We have been doped for a long time with folks like Wako and Co.
God Bless Kenya, God Bless Africa!!

Two people suspected to be members of the outlawed Mungiki sect have been executed by a vigilante group in Mathira East District.
The two, including a secondary school student, were fished from their sleep at Ihwagi village on Sunday night by a gang of 60, who tied their hands before killing them and leaving them by the wayside.
They were identified as Charles Muriuki, 22, a form two student at Gikumbo Secondary School and Patrick Kamau Mbogo, 27.
According to their families, the victims were fished from their houses at 1am. The gang claimed they were taking them to the police station.
But they were executed barely 500 metres from their homes, where their bodies were collected, yesterday morning. The scene of the heinous crime is few hundred of metres from Ihwagi Police Post.
The murders have caused fears of resurgence of attacks by vigilante groups. The killings came days after the release of Mungiki members charged with killing 29 people at Gathaithi village, Mathira, in April.
Among those acquitted by the High Court in Nyeri was Mungiki leader Maina Njenga. Yesterday, Ihwagi village was mourning the execution of the two. The victims’ parents, however, dismissed claims they were linked to the sect.
The group first fished out Muriuki, who was then in the compound with his sister Grace Wangu.
Crude weapons
“They knocked persistently and demanded that I open the house. They asked me to put off the lamp and whether my brother, Muriuki, who they said is a Mungiki member, was inside,” recounted Wangu.
The gang members were armed with machetes, axes and metal rods.
“It is shocking that after the police were called, their response was very poor. Not even the General Service Unit officers who have a camp nearby responded on time, giving an impression that they could be sympathising with the vigilantes,” said an elder.
Yesterday, area MP Mr Ephraim Maina visited the bereaved families and said he would demand a response from the Government.
By yesterday, police were yet to arrest anyone. Mathira East DC Francis Komen promised to address the media later as he held a meeting with security officials.
