Unearth the killers of Kamto – Kingi tells Mombasa County DCI




By Mwarandu Randu 
Kilifi County Governor Amason Kingi

Kilifi County Governor Amason Kingi has called on for an immediate investigation into the shooting of former Kilifi county governor Kennedy Kamto early Wednesday.

He says such cases have become rampant in various places within Mombasa County.
“We are saddened by the killing of our former DG Kamto. These cases have become rampant especially in Nyali Sub County, he said

Addressing journalist in Mombasa at the Coast  Province General Hospital on Wednesday the Kilifi county boss said there is a need for the security apparatus to find a lasting solution into the issue.

He accused the police on claims of laxity in conducting investigations into such incidences.

“We have to get a lasting solution into these cases. It has become a trend, once someone is attacked the police normally say they are doing investigations, but it takes too long” he noted

The governor directed that all the flags within Kilifi County must remain half mast till the former DG is laid to rest.

He said this is an honor to him following Kamto’s contribution in the county.

“I have directed all flags in Kilifi County to remain half mast till my former DG is laid to rest. This is an honor to him for his service in the county” he noted

At the same time Mombasa county commissioner Evans Achoki says the county director of criminal investigation has launched investigations into the matter.
He said the motive of the killing is yet to be established.

“The DCI Mombasa County has launched investigations into the matter. Do not speculate but rather wait patiently as the DCI does his job” the Mombasa county commissioner said

Achoki however urged Kenyans to stop speculating but rather pave way for an idepth investigation.

He said the shoot to kill gunmen will be disclosed as soon as the Mombasa county DCI officer completes his findings.

“No stone shall be left un-turned. We have to get into the depth of the issue” he said

 Meanwhile,  Kamtos wife, Fauzia Kamto said her husband attacked by unknown people while entering into his Nyali residence.

She said the incident happened at around 4 am.

“He was attacked while getting into our residence, she stated

Coast Regional Police Commander Noah Mwivanda also confirmed the killing.
He said the former DG was accosted by three gunmen who later shot and killed him as he entered his home.
"The former Kilifi deputy governor this morning at 4:45am when he was entering his home in Nyali was accosted by three gunmen who had their faces covered." Mr Mwivanda said Wednesday.
His body was taken to the Coast Provincial General Hospital mortuary.

BOTTAX General Secretary Cynthia Wanyonyi Photo (courtesy) BY PETER KOMBE Kenya Boda Boda Tuk Tuk and Taxi Workers Union (BOTTAX Kenya) has faulted the government on claims of passing bills that do not favor the transport sector. Speaking to the media in Mombasa on Monday the union’s General Secretary Cynthia Wanyonyi said in most cases the government does not involve boda boda Tuk Tuk and other informal transport worker's representatives. She further noted that as stakeholders in the public transport sector the government fails to carry out effective public participation exercises as enshrined in the Kenyan constitution. “The government does not involve the public when making certain decisions,” she noted. Wanyonyi urged both the operators to register with the union to avoid being misled by what she claims are quack organisations. She urged the department concerned with registering cooperatives and other associations touching on the informal trans...
