Cabinet Secretary fir Interior Joseph Ole Lenku had earlier claimed Maina was shot by a rival group after a land deal gone sour. Raila was close to Maina in the run up to 2007 elections after the later declared support for Raila’s candidacy.
The two had a long chat and even counted the bullet holes in Mania’s jacket. His assailants are yet to be brought to book.
Raila took a swipe on government for it’s failure to stem runaway insecurity in the country.
“We have a government blaming foreign nations for issuing travel advisories when it is clear we cannot protect our citizens.” Raila said.
“How do you live in a country where if you disagree with somebody, all you do is look for a gun? This is law of the jungle.You cannot admit to the existence of a criminal gang and say let them sort it among themselves. So why do we have government?”
