Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 36863, member: 636"] Police say someone planned to kill Kenya lawmaker Charles Were ahead of time. The gunman shot Were when his car stopped at a red light on Ngong Road around 7:30 PM Wednesday. People nearby saw the shooter ride up as a passenger on a motorcycle next to Were's car. He fired bullets through the passenger window before racing away on the motorcycle. The attack stands out because political killings rarely happen in Kenya. We were served in parliament for the Kasipul area in western Kenya with the opposition ODM party. Party leader Raila Odinga wrote online that Were died without mercy from an assassin's bullets. Odinga lost to William Ruto in the 2022 election. He claimed the vote had problems, but later agreed to work with Ruto on fixing Kenya's troubles. Kenya remains more stable than many countries nearby that face ongoing conflicts. [/QUOTE]
