Who killed George Saitoti? Sonko Reveals Fresh Details

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko

On a chilly June morning in 2012, the country was thrown into mourning following the demise of Internal Security Minister George Saitoti and his assistant Orwa Ojode. The two leaders had been involved in a tragic helicopter crash at the Ngong forest, a few minutes after taking off from Wilson’s Airport.

There have been many conspiracy theories about his untimely demise, and on Wednesday, almost 9 years since his death, Nairobi governor Mike Sonko alleged that Saitoti might have been killed by State House operatives called ‘The System’

Sonko appeared on Citizen TV’s JKLive to shed some light on his frosty relationship with Esther Passaris, the Nairobi Women Rep. The show was cut off prematurely over what Jeff termed as editorial policy.

But the governor continued the interview at city hall, airing it live on his social media. He accused Passaris of being used by the system to fight him, the same system that killed Saitoti.

According to Sonko, Prof George Saitoti was headed to Homa Bay to Preside over a function with Mutahi Iringo. Before take off, Mutahi Iringo was ordered to leave the helicopter by the system which then ordered for the deliberate assassination of the former Vice President.

‘Saitoti was going for a fundraising huko Homabay and they were supposed to go with Iringu but Iringu was told toka ndani, kitu itafanyika kwa hiyo ndege.’ Sonko alleges.

Sonko went ahead to reveal that the system which determines who becomes the next President of Kenya was in favour of ANC Leader Musalia Mudavadi. To outsmart competition they ordered a hit on  Saitoti.

Thirteen days before he met his death, the Kajiado North MP presided over the official launch of his party’s website in Naivasha, in one of the pointed steps towards his resolve to become Kenya’s fourth President.

Saitoti had also signed a pre-election agreement with then Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka and Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta. Details of the pacts remain a guarded secret to date.

Sonko has gone ahead to send a warning to the system, which he claims are individuals not in the government but run all the illegal government activities.
