CORD leader, Raila Odinga today paid a visit to the former leader of the Mungiki sect, Maina Njenga at his home in Karen at around 3pm. During the visit, Kenya's former premier was accompanied by Kisumu Senator, Anyang' Nyong'o.
Maina Njenga has been recuperating after surviving an attempt on his life on May 24 in which his convoy was attacked and sprayed with bullets by heavily armed assailants. His lover and four others were killed in the vicious attack.
Raila and Maina had a long chat which was deemed to have been a friendly and informal conversation. They also counted the number of bullet holes in Mania Njenga's jacket. His assailants are yet to be arrested by police even as the Interior Cabinet Secretary, Joseph Ole Lenku earlier claimed that Maina was attacked by a rival group.
The former Mungiki leader who is now a bishop at Hope International Ministry in Kitengela last week told police in a statement that the attack was linked to ICC cases facing President Uhuru Kenyatta in which he is said to have given statements.
Raila was close to Maina in the run up to 2007 elections after the later declared support for Raila's candidacy.
Raila outlined Jubilee administration's failure to curb runaway insecurity which currently plagues Kenya.
"We have a government blaming foreign nations for issuing travel advisories when it is clear we cannot protect our citizens," Raila wondered.
"How do you live in a country where if you disagree with somebody, all you do is look for a gun? This is law of the jungle.You cannot admit to the existence of a criminal gang and say let them sort it among themselves. So why do we have government?" posed the CORD leader.
