Hata mimi nimesikia BBC wanasema waliokuwemo kwenye helicopter ni Waziri wa Usalama wa ndani Prof. George Saitoti na Naibu wake Orwa Ojode na maafisa wengine wa Wizara yao,na wote wamekufa...

Kifo cha Prof. Saitoti ni pigo kubwa sana kwa Siasa za Kenya na nchi ya Kenya kwa ujumla..

Hakuna pigo lolote labda kwa familia tu. Mungu wakati anaumba mwanadamu alisema zaeni mkaongezeke mana yake binadamu watakufa na walio hai watachukua nafasi zao.RIP

Bujibuji ulitaka kutuingiza choo cha kike,nashukuru wana JF kwa kuwa makini shukrani za pekee kwako mama mdogo kwa kuweka mambo sawa!!!R.I.P wote waliopata ajali.

alikuwa ni Kibaraka wa Mwai Kibaki mwaka 2007 na pia ni mmoja kati ya watu ambao nimeshangaa kuwaona wakikosa kupelekwa kwa Ocampo, yeye pamoja na Kibaraka mwengine ambaye alikuwa ni mwenyekiti wa tume ya uchaguzi yaani Samuel Kivuitu.

Eeh, hizi ni hela?!, ingekuwa Bongo, sidhani hata kama zingepata nafasi ya kupigwa picha!

Bujibuji mambo gani tena haya kaka yangu? Ile helicopter waliopanda hao viongozi imelipuka angani na kuanguka ikiwa imeharibika, si nzuri kama uliyoonyesha wewe. Na kwa uzuri zaidi mimi kwa wakati huu niko mjini Nairobi katika mihangaiko yangu ya kuitafuta shillingi, na Citizen TV wanaonyesha hiyo crash site ni porini (Kibiku forest, maeneo ya Ngong); na helicopter yenyewe iko nyang'anyang'a.

Ila kuna mambo mengi yanasemwa kuhusu ajali hii hapa Nairobi, mosi, rubani aliyekuwa amepangwa awali kajitoa dakika za mwisho ndipo akateuliwa mwingine (Madam Nancy Githuana) ambaye ndiye amekuja pata ajali na amefariki; pili miili ya waliokuwemo kwenye ndege imeungua haitambulikani, lakini pesa walizokuwa wamebeba kupeleka kwa fund raising hazikuungua kuteketea. Makubwa, lakini ndiyo hivyo, Prof George Saitoti, Naibu wake Orwa Ojode, walinzi wao wawili na marubani wawili wamefariki. Mwenyezi Mungu aweke roho zao mahali pema peponi.

Yaani bora ulivyosema wewe, nilishangaa helicopta ing'ae hivyo, iue watu kiasi hicho, serious crash sio mchezo bhana, kama ingekuwa inang'aa hivyo wasingekufa wengi, labda mmoja, tena si ajabu kwasababu ya kuzidiwa na mapresha na wasiwasi tu!

R. I. P. Saitoti. Umekuwa waziri tangu nipo primary hadi nimemaliza chuo na kazi kwa miaka ya kutosha. Angalau Mungu amekuondoa Madarakani maana hata ungefikia miaka mia bado usingeridhika! Umetuthibitishia kuwa ni kweli "binadamu hatosheki" na "Mungu ndiye muweza wa yote". Byebye.

...Filipo, did i get you correctly? It seems unaona afadhali MUNGU amemwondoa duniani kwa kuwa alikua anang'ang'ania vyeo?! kama ndivyo ulivyomaanisha i'm so sorry for you kwani KIFO ndugu yangu sio cha kushangilia hata kama aliyekufa ulikua humpendi vipi!! Kuwa na moyo wa kibinadamu. Kumbuka Prof Saitoti alikua na watoto ndugu marafiki, admirers, etc. Dont hurt their already hurt feelings!.

Nimesikituishwa mno na kifo cha Prof Saitoti, R.I.P. Prof!. Niliwahi kusikia miaka ya nyuma kuwa kuwa huyu jamaa ni mmasai wa TZ japo ameamua ku-base maisha yake zaidi Kenya (yaani wazazi wake walitokea huku wakahamia Kenya). kama kuna anayejua zaidi tueleweshane jamani...
