Kenya: State Supporting Saitoti Crash Probe

The government has challenged anyone with information of the involvement of drug barons in the helicopter crash that killed former Internal Security minister George Saitoti, his deputy Orwa Ojode and four police officers to give the information to the Commission of Inquiry. Acting Internal Security minister Yusuf Haji yesterday said that the government is doing all it can to assist the investigators to unravel the cause of the police helicopter crash on June 10.

"There has been misinformation and misrepresentation of facts including wild allegations made about the cause of the crash and the ongoing investigations. We call upon members of the public, including honourable Members of Parliament, who might have any information regarding this unfortunate tragedy to come forward and avail information publicly to the Commission of Inquiry. Wild allegations, speculation and rumour-mongering should cease immediately. This is a very serious matter and is not beneficial to the families of the departed colleagues and the entire nation," Haji said.
