The killing of Mumias Sugar Company secretary Ronald Lubya has yet again exposed a disturbing trend propagated by politicians seeking political mileage. In death, even before the body of a prominent Kenyan turns cold, politicians would be on overdrive, spewing all manner of theories in total disregard to grieving family and friends.
Comments attributed to leaders, who should know better, alleging knowledge of Lubya's killers are callous and insensitive. It is a worrying and warped thinking that perpetrates similar trends in the past when Prof Odhiambo Mbai, Prof George Saitoti, Mutula Kilonzo, Otieno Kajwang and most recently Jacob Juma, died in unclear circumstances.
