Who killed driver of key Uhuru witness?


This is the headline of today's standard newspaper with the picture of Lewis Nguyai splashed below it. I see the the headline on my way to work and I say to myself "Things are thick!!! They are killing witness now and killing Nguyai's driver must be a message to him and any other ICC witness - especially the ones who dare mention Mungiki!!!"

I get to the office, access standard newspaper online only to realize the murder happened a year ago, neither Mr. Nguyai or the police linked the death to Mungiki or any other group/individual, the driver was killed in a crime prone area, there had been a series of crimes in the area at that time, the family of the deceased in Kisii were not even interviewed on today's story etc. etc.

What is wrong with the Standard? Are they this desperate? How does such a story make to the headline - after one year? Why have misleading headlines to begin with?

I know many wazuans have written off the Kenya media, but they keep finding new ways to sink to new lows. Behaviour typical of gutter press!!

Link ndiyo hii!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

They also mentioned in their Sunday paper that Mungiki targeted Luos, Kaleos, Luhyas and Kisiis. Standard is funny.

"In his statement, the President said he was with Muthaura on the day Ocampo alleges the latter chaired a meeting at State House to plan retaliatory attacks against Luos, Luhyias, Kalenjins and Kisiis in Naivasha and Nakuru. On the same day, the President says, he had a meeting with his supporters at State House."

When interest on bonds keep going up, you know the bear run is on high street. When interest on bonds start leveling, the bear has met the bull and they have hit rock bottom. When the interest rates on bonds start coming down, the bull has overpowered the bear and you better be riding the bull.

Are there circumstances when one should refer to the sub standard? Never for me. This paper is our 'Red pepper'

These guys are at it again! Ebola outbreak! Surely, they do a lot of harm in their manner of reporting.

'However, the late Ogora’s family now says they are yet to get justice.' I'm not supporting the paper but I believe this statement in the article is the key. The family hasn't has closure on this matter and sounded out the paper to express their helpless position. You deciphered the story through a prism.
