A government’s first duty is to protect life. That is why government security officers are allowed to carry guns. However, when those entrusted with that duty allegedly turn the guns on citizens, the nation has crossed a dangerous line.
The shocking revelations surrounding the assassination of Dr Victoria Mutiso point to something far more sinister than an ordinary murder. Investigators have linked serving police officers to the execution, with evidence suggesting that the killing was a carefully organised operation. That should horrify every Kenyan.
The reported use of a police firearm, the alleged involvement of officers and trail of surveillance, vehicles and movements paint a chilling picture: The law enforcers have turned that knowledge into a weapon against innocent citizens.
