The attackers escaped in a vehicle whose details were not taken.
Nairobi Provincial Police
Officer (PPO) Benson Kibue said that the deceased was at his gate
waiting for his driver to pick him when three men driving in a Toyota
Fielder confronted him. “Eye witnesses have told us that there was an
argument before the attackers shot him. We are investigating to arrest
the attackers and also establish the motive of the attack,” said Kibue.
The TA created the new positions
in the devolved government structure, and the deceased was one of the
officers appointed as transition co-ordinator in February this year.
The officials were drawn from
the central government and local authorities, and were expected to set
up key county structures to jumpstart the devolved government system.
In Nairobi, Stephen Osiro was
appointed as the chief finance officer, Philomena Nzuki as the
accounting officer, and Gideon Mainge as the new sergeat at arms.
The deceased, police say, has
been actively involved in joint plans between the police and the
governor’s office to beef up security in the county, especially the
matatu carjackings.
Elsewhere, ten of the mentally
challenged patients who escaped from the Mathare Mental Hospital are now
back to the facility. Nairobi PPO Benson Kibue has said that seven of
them were brought back by relatives while three others walked back to
the institution. Kibue said the hunt for the other 30 patients was still
underway.
