Lass: I have to admit that I mostly agree with your sentiments.

To lass: There is the obviously expected negativity in such an issue. Or conspiracy. Apparently (and as expected) the MP’s wife denies the affair-that’s very expected! Who wants to outrightly admit that their spouse is (was) having an affair? There is always that denial. In considering the big picture, it is easy to declare foul play-I will give you that. Posting supported material is shows responsibility.
PS: You say you are a Kenyan who grew up in a big city; I grew up in THE big city!

Serenity, surely it is the epitome of all naivete to believe that this killing is anything than what it really is, an assassination. As a Kenyan who grew up in the city, it is extremely frustrating to communicate with folks who believe everything they read or are told. To be a fully functioning adult in young and extremely dangerous democracy, you must read between the lines. Otherwise, we cannot have a democracy. We have to send a strong message that we are Kenyans, sophisticated and we “know” what is going on. This spin is meant for westerners, not us.

Please please please, for the sake of accuracy and all that in linked to it, rename this post. The death of the MP in Eldoret is not an assasination, but a murder in some private drama (love-triangle) involving two police officers and the MP. Also indicate that the female officer died and that the male officer has been arrested and is being charged with the 2 murders! Such inaccuracies in media are really splitting up Kenyans in diaspora.
