Harrison Mwakyembe, by then a putative cabinet deputy minister in the ministry of works, had on a number of occasions purported that he was a victim of deliberate poisoning engineered by his imaginary political nemesis! Mwakyembe had raised his political profile as an anti official graft Caesar lending credence his surmised enemies must necessarily be those believed most venal politicians and their accessories ever to dwell in this nation we happily call "home sweet home"! Nevertheless, it is a self-professed titular - I must jibe. Todate, Mwakyembe is yet to establish beyond reasonable doubt what kind of poison his enemies had laced him with nor is he in a pole position to name his life detractors or let alone explaining why is he still trudging today and not be one of the latest occupants of a graveyard given the enormity of his damning claims. Under these contentious circumstances, it never crossed Mwakyembe's mind to contemplate that whatever is ravaging him could be; after-all, a byproduct of a natural phenomenon.
Conspiracy theories no longer tenable!
The paradoxes of whistling-up unsubstantiated conspiracy theories: they tend to sound believable and the more they are recycled through a conveyor belt the more the general public find them credulous! The reason normally advanced to lend credence to often daylight lies is "why should he repeat them unless they are based on a grain of truth." Precisely for the same reasons conspiracy theories bank on repetitions to cement and crystallize what in the eyes of scrutator are purely fabrications. Unmitigated conspiracies may mislead and incite sections of society even to engage in violence where such gross misconduct was not necessary and uncalled for. In an age of information and scientific proof we are living in, we have less moral justification to engage in a "hit and miss method" that misses more than it hits the right targets!
Raila and CORD had cried foulplay!
No sooner the CORD political fraternity learnt of the sad news of sudden demise of one of their own – Mutula Kilonzo, the then Makueni Senator under CORD tutelage - conspiracy theorists went viral and it was no other than their chief protagonist in Raila Amollo Odinga who toyed with idea Mutula's death was "irregular" and the government should unearthed what he termed as "bizarre circumstances" leading to Mutula's death! This was no strange from Raila and his CORD where few weeks leading to a general election Raila's minion one Midiwo had gone berserk claiming Raila's life was in danger and that the government should buffer his personal security detail. When called by the police to substantiate his wild accusations, the fazed Midiwo was at best uncooperative and at worst prevaricating. Todate, Raila is still alive and his life was never in danger and the only "common denominator" I may add is Raila's political relevance was the one under parlous assault. With a history of reckless disregard of the truth, Raila and CORD's presuppositions regarding Mutula's death did not elicit the kind of tension and discord the instigators were hoping and praying for. Raila's political career shines best when mob-psychology holds the Kenyan nation hostage but no sooner sobriety holds sway, Raila's guerrilla tactics slanted on demagoguery seems misplaced and ineffective to assure him of a political hibernation as the one he had secured for himself during the last term of Mwai Kibaki regime.
Medical breakthroughs belie conspiracy intrigues!
With spectacular advances in medical science, breathing air for conspiracy junkies is also wearing thin. Conspiracy theorists as a matter of the rule of thumb peg their forlorn hopes upon public amnesia and lack of knowledge to hoodwink an oblivion observer who is sympathetic to their escapades. However, science has made it possible for us to discern what had befallen some of us let say in their deathbed. The food they ate, the drink they had washed away the traces of morsels in their mouths and not excluding the fleshly lusting "meat" that had soiled them can easily be identified and tested for poison or any other foul-play in what is now famously termed DNA, forensic and toxicological laboratory tests. Once lab results are out for everyone's consumption; conspiracy theories - tend to shut her mouth or score a reinvention to disburse even more filth regardless of scientific reassurances!
Preliminary toxicological results confirm Mutula's death was natural!
Toxicological reports have ruled out any claim to foul-play, now, relatives and well-wishers of the late Mutula Kilonzo can comfortably sleep knowing their loved one had died naturally and there were no insidious machinations to end his life prematurely as previously stoked.

A widow's admonishments not taken serious!
During elaborate obsequies, Mutula's widow had pointed out Mutula's troubled days of reckoning prior to his death but conspiracy theorists scoffed her as part of a scheme to wriggle Mutula's wealth. Claims of a scheming "gold digger" also seized tremendous traction in the social media. Even when the widow intimated that she was herself recuperating from a life threatening throat cancer – following delicate maze of operations - few took her serious! To me, such information was confirmatory that Mutula's family was struggling with life threatening ailments: a fecund ground for sudden deaths. When this adds up to Mutula's last days of desolation and withdrawn demeanour during senatorial gatherings and his refusal to contribute in the said debates which was contrary to his countenance eyebrows ought to have been lifted as an oddity conduct. According to his widow's account, Mutula had taken the trouble to reconcile with his Roman Catholic Church prior to his death a sign that he was acutely aware he was running out of time in this materialistic world of ours and taking care of a little "spiritual business" was all in order. A person nearing his end tend to solemnly reflect on his spiritual afterlife and reconciling with his God seems a right thing to do, after all there seems little left for him to accomplish on earth.
What is wrong with Mwakyembe crying wolf?
He never solicited independent medical auditing to satisfy us that he was, indeed, a victim of political assassination attempt. From police to MOI medical practitioners let alone his sidekicks at "Ujenzi House" Mwakyembe played the role of omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent advocate advancing a case that was only cognizant to himself! Mwakyembe singlehandedly assumed the controversial, conflicting and yet overlapping roles of a victim, a star witness, a chief prosecutor and a righteous judge all rolled, disturbingly, in one sleeve! Truly speaking, he should have done better by letting expert opinion determine the medical facts of his defiant ailments. Or in the alternative, those holding our indefatigable minister in contempt of the principles of natural justice may not necessarily be on a dicey yet pious adventure!
In a nutshell, only in a Kangaroo court such an investigative sojourn is permitted, and no wonder such a self initiated hullaballoo has died a natural death only pending; of-course, for his sudden demise - if it happens sooner than later - or else the matter will rest in peace forever! That receptive lull will truly be a long overdue relief to many who love to lead a quiet life, free of undesirable self-ingratiating controversies.
