"Utengeneze hizo mitaro na bado ujue wewe ni wantam!" - Angry Kiambu residents tell Ruiru MCA as they reject chicks and piglets from the county government.
The story of Albert Ojwang did not begin at Central Police Station.
There was an intergovernmental war inside the security sector, and a troll operation was reportedly hired to fight DIG Eliud Lagat.
The job is said to have come through Alvan Kinyua, who works with Mutahi Ngunyi, before it was handed to a man known as Czar Toretto.
Albert did not make the post that triggered the arrest. He only co-owned the account, while the post was published by a woman who also had access to it.
Even as Albert was arrested and transported to Nairobi, he did not know which post had put him in trouble.
There are also claims that Lagat insisted Albert be brought to Nairobi to “serve as an example.”
The court process will not be complete unless the people involved in that campaign explain what the war was about, who commissioned the attacks, who managed the accounts, who made the post and how Albert ended up carrying the consequences.
Alvan Kinyua, Czar Toretto and everyone connected to that operation must help Kenyans understand the full chain of events, because justice cannot begin at Central Police Station while ignoring the campaign that led Albert there.
Na msijifanye mmesahau safaricom ndio walipeana Albert ojwang's location so Justice cannot be selective. Everyone who played a role in this case has questions to answer
I am shocked by the sudden honesty from the State over the death of Albert Ojwang, including the recovery of CCTV footage and the speed at which some details are now being released to the public.
Whenever the State becomes this open in a case involving powerful people, I immediately ask myself whether they are preparing to sacrifice a small fish so that the person who gave the orders remains protected.
The Star reported that Albert was at one point removed from Central Police Station and taken to Karura, where he was said to have met a senior police official before being tortured, collapsing and causing panic among those involved.
This sudden honesty now begins to connect the dots, because the State may be showing Kenyans the final part of the story while carefully keeping attention away from who ordered Albert’s removal, who was waiting in Karura and why he was taken there.
When the State shows you something and tells you something, do not only look at what they have presented, always ask what they are hiding, who they are preparing to blame and which bigger person they are trying to protect.
