Makueni Senator, Mutula Kilonzo dies

Hon Mutula's death

The death of the Makueni Senator, Hon Mutula Kilonzo has sparked several issues in the country both politically and socially. there has been several propaganda towards the death of the Makueni Senator and former justice Minister.

However, this was a great surprise to the likes of Hon Muthama, Hon Kalonzo and Hon Raila who are close allies to the late and had just spent some time with him before he passed away at his ranch in Makueni County.

The move by the citizens and the family members to get to the roots of the death of their own got a setback after the Government refused the foreign pathologist from conducting a post Morten on the Senators body. the Pathologist was blocked at the airport on arrival by the State Security but  after some time, he was allowed to go ahead and carry the test but however on a condition that the foreign pathologist reported first to the NSIS with his report before making it public.

however, i tend to think that this is a move by the Government to block the truth from getting revealed and that could be a reason why they opted for the Government pathologist who has always been manipulated by the state officials to give certain reports that have been tampered with.
