MP Ongondo Were Shot Dead in Brutal Ngong Road Ambush

Gunmen killed Kasipul MP Charles Ong'ondo Were near City Mortuary along Ngong Road. Police say two attackers on a motorcycle shot him when he sat in traffic after leaving Parliament. They broke his car window and fired at close range. His body went to Nairobi Hospital, where leaders gathered to see him.

MP Caleb Amisi talked with Were just hours before the attack. We were told Amisi things were not good, and he needed to talk. Top officials like DCI Mohamed Amin and PS Interior Raymond Omollo came to the hospital. Police have not found why someone wanted him dead.

Voters first sent Were to Parliament in 2017 through the Orange Democratic Movement party. He won again in 2022. He worked on the Blue Economy and Irrigation Committee. He earned a business degree from Mt Kenya University and studied accounting at Meru University. He worked as a business leader before running for office.
