To quote Hon Fred Ngumo,risasi sio mawe. In Kinyee's circumstances,I would have fitted in one of the drawers in my kitchen.

Youth Affairs and Sports Permanent Secretary (PS) Kinuthia Murugu has been admitted to a Nairobi hospital after he was shot and wounded by armed thugs early on Saturday morning.
Police said that the PS was shot after he allegedly tried to reverse his vehicle to escape a gang that had waylaid him on Muringa road in Kilimani area.
“The suspects then opened fire,wounding him on the shoulder and made his vehicle to land in a ditch,” Deputy Police Spokesman Charles Owino said.
The thugs then robbed him of his money and other personal effects before escaping.
'He was taken to the theatre but doctors now says he is out of danger,” said former Defence minister Njenga Karume who visited Mr Murugu at his hospital bed.
Police have launched investigations into the 3am incident.

He who laughs last thinks slowest..

@Half-empty,

KTN bure kabisa....!!!.......They are now trumpeting that Murugu was in the company of a lady.Kwani is it a crime.???......na mtu akibeba mboga lazima waeleze hata majirani....??


Yombo dhier....!!

It is normal for a man to drop a woman 'home' after an evening out. We do it every other time sometimes at very odd hours of the nite. And if this happens and circumstances require that this be said,so be it. So Njunge should not throw her tantrums at KTN for doing their job.

Most of the prominent people usually leave behind their security detail when on clandestine escapades,you remember Karua and Wamugunda,Dr Oburu in Kisumu and many more!

Alma and Leona,

Do not dismiss the effect of economic hardships on the wave of crimes. Those who have been victims will confirm to you that during the ordeal,the thugs occassionally open up and and confess that things are hard and they also have to put bread on the table. Such class of thugs usually go for valuables without hurting their victims ' so that they can reap from you another time'. They don't want to bite the hands that feed them.

What amazed me was the article in yesterday's paper about thugs in Eastlands living with parents and so 'have to be home by 10pm'.

The Kenya Police has not been up to the task in fighting crime. Infact they are a source of insecurity rather than a source of security. We need two things;

1. Press reset burton in the recruitment,training,equiping and motivating the police

2. Review gun rules to allow people own them.

Murugu probably resisted,then reversed...having been a navy major...

The only reason why some people are still alive is coz its illegal to shoot them!!
