Charles onyango-obbo, managing editor of (nmg)nation newspapers is either pilfering information from mashada or has nothing to comment about in his articles other than face the nation on ntv kenya. We know the police did a lot of injustices in naivasha but he is wrong on this one point which our institute discussed weeks ago. Jeremiah never “thought” it was deliberate, that is onyango’s analysis and he qualifies it with the very next statement. It is sad and bad journalism when you attribute your own remarks to someone else, cast an ethnic under-plot and title an article as such;
nationmedia.com | daily nation | commentary | what others say - the dead woman of naivasha and her crying baby grace, to use the politically correct but disembowelled language of the day, was from “a certain community in western kenya”. And jeremiah, is from “a certain community in central kenya”. Grace was killed on january 28, not by a gang thirsty for tribal retribution as many people who viewed the photograph might have thought, but by a police officer’s bullet that was fired into the house. The officers were firing to scare away looting and murderous mobs, but
jeremiah thinks it was deliberate. The bullet struck grace behind the ear. nationmedia.com | daily nation | commentary | what others say - the dead woman of naivasha and her crying baby
