Ex-MP funded ‘Mungiki’ sect attacks, witness tells court
More articles on this topic: MungikiFormer Nakuru Town MP David Manyara financed the massacre of 10 people
by alleged members of the banned Mungiki sect, a witness said
yesterday.
Police inspector Leonard Lutta said the politician also gave money to
hire vehicles that transported the alleged killers.
He told Nakuru judge Muga Apondi that he received information from an
informer that Mr Manyara had financed the group on January 4.
That night, he added, he went to Mr Manyara’s house but did not find
him.
The witness told the court that some of the politician’s co-accused had
incriminated him during police interrogation.
He was giving evidence in the trial of Mr Manyara and 13 suspected
Mungiki members charged with the murder of 10 people on January 5 at
Kimathi and Flamingo estates, Nakuru Town.
The witness said he had wanted to interrogate Mr Manyara over claims
that he had funded Mungiki members.
Mr Lutta denied a suggestion by Mr Manyara’s lawyer that he had
conducted shoddy investigations since he was unable to tell the court
the people Mr Manyara gave money.
The lawyer also pressed the witness to tell the court the registration
numbers of the commuter taxis (matatus) that were allegedly hired to
transport the Mungiki members to cause mayhem.
The witness told the court that he had received intelligence reports
about an impending attack but had no information on the specific area
or time.
Earlier, doctors who performed post-mortem examinations on the 10
victims gave horrid descriptions of the bodies.
Rift Valley pathologist Noah Kamidigo and Dr Paul Gachunga said the
victims died of massive bleeding from injuries inflicted by machettes.
They said the small finger on the left hand of each body had been
chopped off. The bodies also had deep cuts in the heads.
The hearing continues.
