I hope that by the end of today, the investigative agencies give us what really happened so that we can reduce the anxiety among professionals and the public at large,” he said
He continued by raising an alarm on the rising cases of crime conducted by individuals riding on motorcycles in the country.
“You remember the MP who was shot similarly on the street. Yesterday, we saw a lawyer being shot in traffic, too. So I think there is a new wave of criminals who are using Boda Boda motorcycles to perpetrate crime.
There are people who are using motorcycles to perpetrate criminal activities. In some cases, we have seen criminals burning down vehicles and matatus after accidents. This must stop. The rule of law must prevail,” he said
According to Senator Kiprotich Arap Cherargei, he hopes that his murder was not linked to his profession.
“I hope it is not related in any way to the work he was doing, because all of us will feel unsafe. Even for you, as a journalist, this is not a soft job. The work we do should not be linked to such violence,” said the Senator
