Cry for justice as a popular political activist is murdered and his death disguised as a hit-and-run accident after leading MCAs to oust Nyamira County Assembly Speaker from office over corruption.

Two Members of
Parliament and a former MP from Nyamira County have publicly criticized local
security agencies for delays in apprehending those responsible for the death of
Charles Ondieki Kinanga, a human rights and political activist known as
“Provincial”, who was killed four weeks ago.

Speaking at
Ondieki’s burial in Nsicha village, Borabu, North Mugirango MP Joash Nyamoko, and Borabu MP Patrick Osero, along with former MP Ben Momanyi, rejected the
police claim that Ondieki’s death was due to a hit-and-run involving a
motorbike.

Nyamoko
maintained that Ondieki’s murder was politically motivated, and insisted that
the assailants, allegedly responsible for torching Bomwagamo Ward MCA Julius
Nyangana’s home should face justice.

Osero urged the
immediate arrest of all politicians allegedly involved in orchestrating and
funding the attack on Ondieki, warning that failure to act could lead to
demands for some police bosses to vacate the county.

Ondieki led
MCAs in ousting Nyamira County Assembly Speaker Enock Okero from office over corruption
and gross misconduct.

Okero was pelted with stones while attempting to
“forcefully” enter his office after he was impeached.

Police were forced to fire shots into the air and lob
teargas to control the situation.

Ondieki, who was among the people who chased the speaker
away, died several days later under mysterious circumstances after the
incident.
