Unknown gunmen shot dead Kaspul Kabondo lawmaker Charles Ong'ondo Were on Ngong Road after he left Parliament Wednesday evening around 6:15 pm. The Orange Democratic Movement party expressed shock about their member's killing, asking police to catch those responsible. Were served his second term as a vocal MP who focused on education issues. He had warned about threats to his life just two months ago.
The MP previously led the Parliamentary Committee on Education, where he pushed for more money for schools in poor areas. His death has alarmed many politicians across Kenya who want fast action from security teams. Several elected leaders have recently reported safety concerns, especially in cities. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua claimed security agents followed him.
Police have started looking into the case, checking security cameras near the murder site. They had not released an official statement when this news broke. This killing stands as one of the most serious attacks on a sitting MP in recent Kenyan history. The case will likely start new talks about how safe government officials are in the country.
