ARTUR BROTHERS REVISITED-MORE WHISTLEBLOWING JUST ABOUT TO EMERGE? -

EARLY AUGUST LAST YEAR,A YOUNG KENYAN BOY,IN HIS LATE 20s OR EARLY 30s,CALLED NJOROGE WAS ARRESTED IN A GUEST-HOUSE IN DAR ES SALAAM TANZANIA,BY IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES.THE INITIAL CHARGE?THE YOUNG KIKUYU TEENAGER FROM MOMBASA,KENYA DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE TRAVELLING DOCUMENT.NOPASSPORT,NO EMERGENCY TRAVELLING DOCUMENT, ETC.HE WAS HEADED TO SOUTH AFRICA.THE YOUNG BALD SHAVEN AND HEAVILY BEARDED BOY'S ONLY POSSESSION WAS A LAP-TOP.

SUSPICIOUS OF THE LAP-TOP CONTENTS,THE IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS TURNED HIM OVER TO CENTRAL POLICE STATION,DAR ES SALAAM,AN EQUIVALENT OF CENTRAL POLICE STATION,NAIROBI.THE CENTRAL POLICE STATION ,HOWEVER WAS THE POLICE CELLS WHERE HE WAS BEING HELD,BUT INTERROGATIONS TOOK PLACE AT INTERPOL HEADQUARTERS,15 MINUTES WALK AWAY.

ANYWAY,TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT,IT TURNED OUT THAT NJOROGE WAS FOLLOWING A CARGO DESTINED FOR SOUTH AFRICA(WHERE HE ADMITTED HE HAD FREQUENTED SEVERALLY WITHOUT TRAVELLING DOCUMENTS WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT,THOUGH THIS TIME HE WAS CAUGHT.)THIS PUPOTED CARGO WAS COMING FROM PAKISTAN(IT DOESNT TAKE A GENIUS OR A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER TO KNOW WHAT CARGO FROM PAKISTAN TO SOUTH AFRICA MUST BE FOLLOWED WITHOUT A TRAVELLING DOCUMENT AND WITH A LAP-TOP.).IN A NUTSHELL,THE LAP-TOP CONTENTS WERE SCARY.

MR.NJOROGE HAPPENED TO BE A LONG TIME ERRAND BOY CUM HOUSEBOY OF A MOMBASA BASED KAMBA VERY INFLUENTIAL BUSINESS WOMAN.WHEN I SAY INFLUENTIAL ,I MEAN WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT ELITE.

THIS WOMAN,FOR THOSE WHO ARE AWARE,WAS THE MOST TRUSTED CONFIDANTE OF THE INFAMOUS ARTUR BROTHERS.ACTUALLY,APART FROM THEIR RUNDA HOUSE, THE ONLY OTHER PRIVATE HOUSE THE ARTURs ARE KNOWN TO HAVE SLEPT,IF NOT SPENT DAYS,IS THIS PALATIAL HOUSE IN AN EXCLUSIVELY AFFLUENT ESTATE IN MOMBASA..THE PLACE WAS ALWAYS THRONGED WITH THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THE CURRENT KENYAN GOVERNMENT ELITE.ACTUALLY,WE ALL KNOW WHO WERE IMPLICATED IN THE ARTUR SAGA BUT THAT NOT WITHSTANDING,THERE ARE NAMES WHO WERE NOT MENTIONED IN THE SAGA BUT WHOM IF NJOROGE NAMED TODAY,AS HE MENTIONED TO A FEW OF PEOPLE SHORTLY BEFORE HE GOT DEPORTED BACK WITHOUT TRIAL,WOULD SHAKE KENYA FROM COAST TO NYANZA AND EASTERN TO WESTERN,ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

NJOROGE HAS AMPLE EVIDENCE;RECORDED AND UNRECORDED.HIS FILE IS AT BOTH CENTRAL POLICE STATION AND AND INTERPOL HEADQUARTERS. THE ONLY PROBLEM.HE SAID HE COULD ONLY PASS THE INFORMATION TO SOMEONE HE TRUSTS,HIS PREFERENCE WAS ONE OF WHAT WE NOW CALL THE PENTAGON.BUT,HE WOULD ONLY SELL THE INFORMATION AT A FEE OF KSHS 5MILLION.BUT EVEN FOLKS WITH MONEY WERE SCARED TO BUY IT.AS IT WAS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS INFORMATION BY MANY.IF YOU HAVE FAMILY OF COURSE,LIKE ME.WELL,AT LEAST AT THAT TIME IT WAS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS BEARING IN MIND THERE WERE ALLEGATIONS THAT SOME OF THE STANDARD RAID COMMANDOS WERE TANZANIANS,WHO WERE EVENTUALLY DEPORTED BACK TO TANZANIA,AND THESE ARMENIANS HAD TAKEN OUR COUNTRY HOSTAGE FROM AIRPORT SAGA TO STANDARD SAGA.

NO WONDER THE GOVERNMENT QUICKLY SUMMED UP THAT INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE ARTUR BROTHERS SAGA WAS OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND COULDNT BE RELEASED IN PUBLIC.WHO ORDERED THAT?
