Opinion: Joseph Nkaissery- our last moments together

Friday, July 7 started just like another normal day at the office. I was in a meeting in a colleague's office in Harambee House 4th floor, Nairobi, discussing security preparedness for the August 8 General Election when, at around 9.30am Mary, secretary to the late Interior Cabinet Secretary, Joseph Nkaissery, buzzed and informed me that the CS wanted to see me right away.

I excused myself from the meeting and went to the 6th floor where the CS's office is located. The General, as we used to call him, was in an ebullient mood.
