Leaders from Siaya have asked investigators to bring to book the masterminds of the murder of former Wells Fargo human resource manager Willis Ayieko.
The leaders who spoke during Ayieko’s burial on Saturday said detectives should arrest and prosecute the suspects without advancing any theories that might derail justice.
Ayieko was buried at his home in Ong’iende village in Central Alego near Siaya town.
The leaders including Governor James Orengo and MPs, said they were not ready for theories, adding that all they wanted were answers to ensure both the planners and executors face justice.
Alego-Usonga MP Samuel Atandi expressed fear that some of the people conducting the investigations could be advancing theories that would derail efforts to bring the planners to justice.
“I have come to the conclusion that maybe, there is somebody, a bigger force, that is trying to stifle investigations so that the family of Ayieko and his friends do not get justice,” Atandi said.
He said a senior DCI official had told him they were pursuing a theory that the deceased was killed by members of a vigilante group that was hired to provide security at a funeral that Ayieko had attended in Gem.
Orengo urged the police to stop going round with stories, saying all that Kenyans wanted was the planners and killers of the Human Resource manager to be arrested.
He said the police must use modern technology to bring all the players in the heinous crime to book.
Ugenya MP David Ochieng and his Rarieda counterpart Otiende Amollo lamented that the culture of abductions and mysterious killings had taken root in the country and accused the government of encouraging the same.
Ochieng said leaders and all Kenyans must register their displeasure at the way police were handling the unexplained murders and abductions.
“It is a national menace that has been encouraged by the government. People are killed and someone comes on television to defend the deaths,” Ochieng said.
The Rarieda legislator said it
was the responsibility of the government to give security to every
citizen and urged security forces
to pull up their socks.
