Is there a possibility that this cache was not headed to a neighbouring country?.Look who was arrested alongside Munir Ahmed....Joseph Maritim,the AP chief armourer......Do we have an Area inside Mau by the name Sierra Leone?...How close is it to Narok town?.....and who are the occupiers of this land?.....BBC was right.

@McReggae you are right. This was definitely part of the "preparation" for 2012!

Shivers down my spine, imagining what can be done with kind of firepower

Enough ammo to fully arm an entire infantry batallion

New Land rover spare parts also found alongside the cache.....MMMMhhhh....Which army,militia or rebel group within East and Central Africa uses Landrovers?....Hapa iko kitu.

Not necessarily. KOFC has significant strategic security benefits for the country and the region.

The stringent internal checks coupled with daily accountability for each round of ammo that comes out of production at KOFC makes it impossible for even a single round (let alone the 100k) to leave the gates of the factory without the express authority of the highest office at Department of Defence Headquarters.

Luckily for KOFC, each batch of production and supply is given a unique serial number and therefore the CID should by now pinpoint exactly which arm of the security forces were given these crates of ammunition. The CID should also have by now zeroed in on the particular arm and pin pointed exactly who/when/where/how was allocated / supplied with the seized crates and if they have so far been accounted for, how they found their way to Narok, without NSIS getting to know about it - virtually impossible, unless.......(guess is as good as mine)!

It is so easy to resolve this. What is clear is such a large quantity MUST have had the approval or authority of someone very high up in ranking, probably higher than chief investigator Iteere himself, to reach civilian hands.

Since all of the armed forces (Army, Navy, Ariforce, Police, AP, KWS, KFS, etc) rely 100% on KOFC supplies, it is obvious that this cache found its way into the civilian world through one of these disciplines. Millions of rounds of ammo are distributed to hundreds of personnel at infantries/battalions of the armed forces spread all over Kenya for training,reconnaissance, defence, patrol, etc. A small percentage is also distributed locally to licenced civilian fire arm holders while others are exported through known and traceable channels.

That said, this is a very serious lapse that has grave implications in compromising national security and I am sure even as I type these lines, no less a person than the CIC is being briefed about the whole saga.

The arsenal that was on display gives us every reason to be very afraid. Question is "what else is out there?"

130,000 bullets dont just disappear. obviously an inside job. but look at the 2012 elections in positive light. July 2012 is the time to Buy!Buy!Buy! KQ stock. Who wants to bet flights from Sep-Dec 2012 will be fully booked by Jan 2012?

@Donben

Hats off for insight.
