[wanabidii] Three people killed as protests hit Kisumu




Folks,
 
 
Where is the Coalition Government Leadership ???..... As a voice of reason,
and on behalf of the many voiceless, I am obligated to demand to know if the
Coalition Government is functioning or dysfunctioning; and what is the position
of the Government in this case???
 
 
Things cannot get out of hand and out of control when there is a functioning
Government. If the Coalition Government is unable to do what they are suppose
to do, it is time they should quit........We are not going to waste time watching
people killed carelessly and Leaders take no stand........
 
 
A Government business is not an individual property and no one has right to do
as they wish violating all forms of human rights including letting loose crime and
terrorism rock the country and allowing disorder to create fear to pave way for
intimidation. This cannot be tolerated.......
 
 
The Coalition Government leadership either do what is right or they both resign
immediately as we shall not sit and watch this kind of behaviour to continue....

3 killed as riots rock Kisumu city

Three people were killed and a school girl seriously wounded after police lobbed teargas canisters in a furniture shop. Three other protesters were shot earlier in the day as angry demonstrators engaged police in running battles following the killing of an ODM parliamentary aspirant Shem Onyango Kwega. Protestors also blocked the Kisumu-Kakamega highway and destroyed property.

 
 
 

Three people killed as protests hit Kisumu

after the murder of a candidate for general

elections due in March.

Last Modified: 30 Oct 2012 08:06

Violent protests have erupted in Kisumu, western Kenya, following the murder of a prominent local politician.
A senior police officer, who requested anonymity, told the AFP news agency on Monday that three people "died from either burning or suffocation after teargas was lobbed into a hardware shop they were hiding in".
Joseph Oli Tito, Nyanza provincial police officer, confirmed the deaths but denied that police were involved.
"Three people inside a workshop died in a fire. ... There are rumours that police officers lobbed teargas into the workshop which caused fire, but we are disputing that and we are suspecting an electric fault," he said.
The protests erupted after Shem Onyango Kwega, a candidate for a parliamentary seat in Kisumu in general elections due in March, was killed by unidentified armed men on Monday while driving in town.
Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri, reporting from Nairobi, says: ""There is so much worry about what we are seeing right now, as the same place was the scene of so much violence in 2008".
Kwega, the local branch chairman of Raila Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), was shot in the head and later died at the hospital.
Kisumu, the prime minister's fiefdom, was a hotspot during Kenya's 2007-2008 post-election violence.
The unrest, which left more than 1,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced throughout Kenya, was prompted by the contested election of incumbent President Mwai Kibaki against Odinga.
Kwega's wife was seriously wounded and was treated at a Kisumu hospital on Monday night, police said.
The murder was initially attributed to gangsters, but a political motive was not immediately ruled out.
Four people were wounded by bullets during confrontations with the police and a police officer was hit by a stone hurled by the protesters, witnesses said.
Police intervened after demonstrators, angry at what they said is the deteriorating security situation in the area and accusing police of collusion with gangsters, reportedly threatened to torch a police station.
Residents said that the riots had stopped by Monday night but that tensions remained high.

Maurice, Warsama, Baba Yaro et al,

I want to break rank with all of you yodeling here some sob stuff about Police brutality in Kisumu. Yes, Kwega is dead and I hear another businessman has also been shot dead; no amount of riots will bring them back life.

Let get straight to business now.

When the Police graduate from Kiganjo they come out trained to use all manner of weapons. When we give them guns and batons it is not like they are for keeping their idle hands occupied or to serve as fly-whisks. They are for preserving and protecting security. When a mob faces anti-riot cops by all means the assumption is that they are prepared to take whatever the Police dishes in kind. So you all, stop these makelele ati Police are using excessive force. Mntaka wabembeleze waandamanaji? Anyone going to riot before the Police must be prepared for the consequences, period.

In fact, I am one of the few people who celebrated when they released that Kirui chap whom Kiraithe claimed that footage of him killing a protester was a Rambo kind-a flick. The guy was doing his job. Kura zilizoibwa zilikuwa ni za Raila, mbona Raila hakuenda ku-play hide and seek with the Police in the streets. I applaud the Police for working tirelessly to bring order to Kisumu streets while facing pestilential idlers who knows only the language of violence in their everyday transactions.

Lastly, Kondele in Kisumu is notorious for some knuckleheads who imagine they are a law unto themselves. Naomba Polisi wa-deal na wao barabara. We can not keep on preaching sijui insecurity yet on your doorstep there is a chap who thinks a Raila presidency equals absence of law and order. Twanga mpaka mtoe nundu yao!

I know Lee has been doing some advocacy on the rise of insecurity in Kisumu. It is a challenge which the concerned authorities must address within the acceptable frameworks that there is. Mambo ya kupayuka we shall eliminate sijui China gang sijui what is not part of that framework.

Let Law and Order prevail in this nation.

YOU HAVE GOT WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE, OR YOUR EXCUSES

Warsama

This is now the fourth time today that I'm asking you to stop
referring to me as Shortie. Please respect my wishes here so we can
move on to discussing other things.

Courage
