The truth in Kenya is that we forget, and we forget quickly. It was Prof. George Saitoti of the University of Nairobi Mathematics Department, who drove his VW Beetle (a well documented fact) into the Treasury Building parking lot when Daniel Arap Moi first appointed him Minister for Finance. Prof. Saitoti never looked backed, abandoning his VW Beetle motorcar for a Mercedes Benz and when he became Vice-President took on his motorcade as his chosen mode of travel. The VW Beetle motorcar was to rust in the car park— abandoned and disowned – and forgotten completely. Ujinga galore If you care to read the whole article, Marsgroup has a point but I guess it unAfrican to ask dead people questions

Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgement...

My condolences to the bereaved families.
I knew Ojode personally. He was a humble and truthful person. I always wished there were more like him. We will miss him at our local

Please tell us how many Al-shabab were in Kismayo, with local population estimated at 183,300 inhabitants, when it was bombed with Helicopters and Jet Bombers, 500? 1000? 183,300? Please tell us also how man innocent children and women were killed in this attack? 500? 1000? Was it not Wazua people who condemned Uncle Sam's attacks on the villages of Iraq? Then tell us what did Saitoti (RIP) knew about it?

RIP anyway and condolences to the family and friends. Though I suppose in death we are all equal. All things we did while alive matter little when your time comes. I support @pariah, why don't we read the whole article? Or is it our Kenyan way of ignoring facts as @Robinhood says? I agree we mourn "for his wife and Children, and all the other wonderful Kenyans who God took too soon." Quote:...George Saitoti went to court and controversially obtained orders expunging his name from the Inquiry Report and barring his prosecution by the Attorney General.
The Attorney General immediately appealed this decision, which he declared to be unconstitutional in a strongly worded statement.
The Appeal was quietly dismissed for technical reasons in 2011.
Meanwhile George Saitoti’s political career proceeded smoothly and in 2008 he was promoted from the Ministry of Education to take over as Minister for Internal Security.
Fortune had conspired it seems to make George Saitoti the political head of the Criminal Investigation department which the Attorney General directed to investigate him.
He was now in charge of the evidence against him and the so-called Goldenberg International Limited.
Were Kenyans expected to believe that Prof. Saitoti was to investigate himself or that indeed the evidence was still intact? Apparently yes! Or maybe not!
...
Which begs the question why was George Saitoti such a sacred cow?
And who will pay Kenyans now as both Principals lead by example in this hero worship message of impunity?
...
We still want answers and recovery of the hundreds of Billions looted from the Goldenberg Scandal.
Who is the beneficiary of the stolen loot; we must not relent. And we must not glorify those who steal Kenyan funds.
This is the truth, and this is a bitter pill we must chew and swallow – to get better, because as Kenyans, we suffer from a disease called Impunity
Sadly, some think the cure for this very contagious disease – is death by servant.
It is not! Someone has the stolen loot. The only question is who, and, where! Let’s collect, the loot belongs to the People of Kenya.

If anyone had a question to ask George, this is not the time. It would have been appropriate to do this while the man walked and talked, if one of course feared him when alive, he should fear him more now that silent in death.
The flags are flying half mast in his honor and government will give him a decent burial, and life will go on.

Looks like this AS350 type has had its fair share of incidents. Too many in a short period of time http://www.helihub.com/2...e-ngong-hills-kenya-6f/

My major contention with this writer is his insistence that Prof. Saitoti should have stuck with his vw beetle while he had access to better cars. ....If anything, he sounds like an angry jealous fellow blaming his failures on the wealth of the Late PROF.
