Kimemia’s driver in carjacking gun drama that has baffled police

Secretary to the Cabinet Francis Kimemia’s driver was wounded in a shooting incident in Nairobi.

The driver, who was treated and discharged from hospital, was injured as he jumped out of a moving car and  engaged a gang that had carjacked him at Pangani.

The gang had driven with the driver into Kimemia’s compound in Kileleshwa. And as they made a turn in the compound ready to force their way into Kimemia’s house, police officers opened fire at the car damaging it before the gang of three sped out with the driver still on board.

Kimemia refused to comment on the issue yesterday.

According to the police, the driver had just dropped Kimemia in Kileleshwa and later drove his colleague to Pangani where he lives.

And as he was reversing in Pangani, a car hit the vehicle from behind. This forced the driver to alight and establish the nature of the damage that had been inflicted on Kimemia’s car.

As he checked, gunmen struck and told him to surrender before they forced their way into the car and later bundled him into the boot.

The driver told police the gang robbed him of undisclosed amount of money and other valuables.

He reportedly told the gang he is a businessman in the city and he lived in Kileleshwa. It was then that they decided to go with him to Kileleshwa where they intended to take more valuables. The driver told police he directed the gang into Kimemia’s compound where they were ushered in by armed police officers.

It was after they drove in that gunfire ensured. The car, which was damaged by bullets, was yesterday parked at Muthangari Police Station, where senior officers visited.

Nairobi County CID boss Nicholas Kamwende said they are investigating all versions of story.

“There are many missing links that we are trying to fill as part of our investigations into the shooting,” said Kamwende. The driver managed to jump out of the car as it sped off from the compound amid gunfire. The officers who were involved in the shooting said they feared shooting the driver and that is why they did not inflict maximum damage on the car.”

Mother and daughter fight over village tycoon

A county representative in western Kenya and a sub-chief who happens to be her mother, caused a stir when they fiercely fought over a two-timing village tycoon. The off the wall incident shocked villagers and brought to light a secret love triangle between the county rep, her mother — a sub-chief — and a hardware dealer.

 The mother rudely learnt that her daughter had turned tables on her and came out guns blazing. They both had been secretly dating the hardware man, who seemed to be doing well financially by local standards.

“When the county rep — who shares a home with her mother — got home that evening, she dropped the bomb shell. Unaware that her mother had been dating the hardware man, she revealed about her affair with the hardware dealer. She further told her mother that she wanted to make it public and take the relationship to the next level by getting married to him,” a witness told Crazy Monday.

The witness, who spoke to this writer on condition of unanimity, revealed that the county rep’s mother was so infuriated.

And in a bid to make her change her mind, the mother warned her against the hardware man terming him unreliable and a ‘player’— unfaithful.

The following day, the sub-chief went to the man, first thing in the morning, to quarrel him. She demanded to know why the man had been ‘using’ her and also having an affair with her daughter.

Clandestine

“So you think my daughter is better than me? I will teach you a lesson you will never forget,” she told him.

The hardware man dismissed her, calling off his clandestine relationship with her on the spot.

 “You are here to yell at me? It’s over between you and me. After all, you have a husband, albeit an absentee one. Your daughter is young and fresh. Go to hell,” sneered the hardware man.

Upon getting wind of the drama that was unfolding at the hardware, the county rep hoped on a boda boda and arrived at the scene huffing and puffing. Unfortunately, upon her arrival, her mother had just left for home and she pursued her demanding to know why she (her mother) had gone to bandy words with ‘her’ man. The two got into a heated exchange and a cat fight ensued. The mother, who happens to be more built than her daughter, over-powered her and reigned terror on her. She injured her badly claiming she was responsible for her being dumped unceremoniously.

“The mother accused her daughter of going behind her back and soiling her good relationship with the hardware man. Were it not for the neighbours, the two would have killed each other that day,” the witness said.

The husband to the sub-chief, who resides in Kisumu, has not so far, come home to deal with the matter.

It is, however, alleged that upon getting tipped about what had transpired, he has threatened his wife with dire consequences upon his return before Christmas.

Crazy Monday has since learned that the county rep in question is full of drama.

She had been reported, three months ago, in this magazine having been caught stealing a drinking glass at a night club.

Chaos in Nyaribari Chache mini poll as MP slaps colleague

 Legislators allied to the CORD and Jubilee coalitions clashed inside the Kisii Central Police Station as chaos erupted following arrests of TNA agents suspected to be engaged in voter bribery.

Trouble ensued after Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati led a group of youth in arresting Dr Enock Monda, a brother to TNA candidate Dr Robert Monda, on claims that he was bribing voters.

Arati who was in a convoy of vehicles confronted the TNA agent outside Kisii Bottlers primary school and a chase ensued leading to the ‘citizen arrest’ at Jogoo estate.

Injured

Arati’s bodyguard had to shoot in the air to disperse a mob that threatened to lynch younger Monda who sustained injuries to the head before he was whisked to Kisii Central Police station.

On learning about the development, Kitutu Chache North MP Jimmy Angwenyi and former Kitutu Masaba MP Walter Nyambati stormed the station and demanded that the TNA agent be released.

As the duo engaged Kisii Central OCPD Tom Mutisya in his office, CORD legislators led by Women Reps Mary Otara (Kisii) and Gladys Wanga (Homabay) arrived and tried to force entry into the office.

An agitated Angwenyi slapped Wanga sparking an exchange of blows as police tried to intervene. Arati filed a statement and both Jubilee and CORD accused each other of using police to intimidate their supporters.

Returning officer Robert Ng’eny confirmed two men and one woman had been arrested on voter bribery allegations.

Politician's son in club fight

A son of a prominent politician is alleged to have caused drama in a Westlands club where he was partying the night out with his girlfriends and friends who had returned home from the United States for the Christmas holidays. The young chap was in the company of his girlfriend and her two female friends. During the early morning hour, it is said that he excused himself to the bathroom only to come back and find his girlfriend exchanging phone numbers with one of his male friends. The move did not seem to go well with him and the two were involved in a nasty verbal war before leaving. Upon getting to the basement where their cars had been parked, it is said that the girlfriend ironically opted to drive in the other guy’s car saying the politician’s son was too drunk to drive her home. War broke loose and the two were only saved by bouncers who came on the rescue. None of the two guys went home with the girl — also said to be a daughter of a prominent businessman.

David Kimaiyo: I was stopped from going after Westgate terrorists

Inspector General David Kimaiyo has admitted for the first time that he was going to storm Westgate Shopping Mall and help to fight al Shabaab terrorists in September. Kimaiyo has not spoken publicly about his personal feelings on the Westgate attack that left 70 people dead but it was widely reported after the September 21 raid that he was prepared to fight the terrorists. During an award ceremony for outstanding APs this year, Kimaiyo said he had his gun ready. “I want to pay special tribute to Sergeant Emojong for the good work he did in defending the country. Actually, I was among the police officers who were the first to reach the scene and when I was informed he (Emojong) was in, I wanted to join him as I had a rifle and bullet proof vest but was restrained by other officers accompanying me,” Kimaiyo said. Kimaiyo, Internal Security minister Joseph Ole Lenku and Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces Julius Karangi were in charge of the operations that lasted four days. It was the most daring attack by terrorists – who are said to have been four and armed with AK 47 rifles and hand grenades.
During the siege, one of Kimaiyo’s tweets was widely published and discussed by international media.  “Taken control of all the floors. We’re not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them,” he wrote on Twitter on September 24. He was giving an update on the progress of the rescue mission on the third day, which involved troops of the Kenya Defence Forces.
