Raila Odinga called MP Charles Ong'ondo Were a brave son who died at the hands of killers. The ODM leader shared his grief online after gunmen shot at Were near City Mortuary Wednesday evening. He ended his message with words in Luo honoring the fallen lawmaker from Kasipul.
Police say someone planned to kill the MP during his drive home. The attack happened around 7:30 p.m. when we were stopped at a red light on Ngong Road. Two people on a motorcycle pulled next to his white Toyota Crown. The passenger fired through the window before they sped away.
The driver and another person who survived rushed to Nairobi Hospital. Doctors could not save him. Police officials visited the crime scene right after the shooting. They continue looking for clues about who wanted him dead and why they acted. The brazen public attack happened just hours after Were left Parliament for the day.
