Questions remain even with Saitoti crash report made public

Finally the comprehensive report on the helicopter crash on June 10, 2012, that claimed the lives of Internal Security minister George Saitoti and his deputy Orwa Ojodeh is finally in the public sphere.

The findings of the chopper crash inquiry handed over to President Kibaki by Deputy Chief Justice-designate Kalpana Rawal and her team on February 28 can now be put to the test of public scrutiny and fair comment. Obviously, we are not aviation or engineering experts and gladly accept the report findings that the crash was in large measure caused by poor weather conditions and pilot error.
