@ Maich..@Njung'e
I have been wondering whether to acquire a nice camera or not... you made my decision for me
It is better than 6969.. i guess
This is not the end of it

This is my 1st post in Wazua and would want to throw in my two cents on the subject.

To all those who think the cops were right to execute the thugs; Remember Dr. Muiruri? The son of Hon Muiruri who was shot by a cop in Westlands after a bar brawl with another guy over a woman? Well, when Munene, the cop, went back to the station, he filed a report that he had killed a gangster and mungiki adherent. It turns out, the guy who fought with Dr.Muiruri called the cop who was a buddy of his and the next thing we know is that poor Dr.Muiruri, who had a Phd. in Law and lectured at a UK university, was tried, found to be a Mungiki, convicted and executed in cold blood by a cop.

In the late 90s, the nation carried a front page photo of alleged robbery suspects in the back of a police vehicle. Apparently they had been arrested after a shootout between police and thugs in the CBD. One of the criminals was a well dressed and decent looking man with some injuries and blood stains but nothing serious. It turned out he was not a thug after all, but a senior marketing executive with Coca-Cola who got caught up in the shootout. His colleagues joined the family and rushed to the police station to clear the misunderstanding and secure his release. Too late. The cops told them that he had died and taken to the city mortuary. They rushed there and what they saw horrified them. His skull had been blown out with several bullets. And yet 24 hours earlier he had been arrested and sat pensively on the back of a police Land-rover.

During the Mungiki crackdown in 2008, the wife of a known Mungiki follower got concerned when he went missing for a week. They joined hands with the father in law and went to look for him in all police stations. Well; that was the last ever seen or heard of the old man, his son or his daughter-in-law.

Two weeks ago, two brothers argued with a matatu conductor on the Ruiru route over the fare. A fight ensued, the conductor made a call and the next thing, the two brothers were lying at the city mortuary with numerous bullet wounds. The police report? Suspected robbers shot by police after a gunfight.

I hope we now realize that no one is secure from the bullets of a trigger happy police force. Not even the snobbish middle class (read most of us). Our only hope is in reforming our institutions and forcing the executive to respect the law just like the rest of us.

We could all start by joining the campaign to collect a million signatures in support of the Hague. Check it out in FB “One million Kenyan citizens support ICC”

@FRM I saw and read about the case of the Coca Cola employee. The wife languishes in abject poverty somewhere in Ukambani. So very sad...

Their relatives confirmed those were criminals if they targeted you they would either have killed or harmed of which maybe they have killed a lot of innocent people ,personally I think until our judiciary systems are reformed the best way to deal with criminals today is shot them.

.......hardcore thugs,hope the others get the message !
......its sad to see some relatives lying about their beloved thug brothers.
.......some however are spot on saying they were known criminals.....what is an innocent carpenter doing with ex-cons with a gun?
...jail failed to reform them,its their way of life,to serve 8 years and then come out shooting innocent Kenyans....let them continue turning up in the morgue,its cheaper than using tax payers money to buy them food, medicine and even almost build them a swimming pool in prison as uncle moody had tried.
