Bogonko bosire - Jackal News-
By Sheila Kimani (@sheilakimm)
It was during the Westagate Mall siege that Bogonko Bosire’s 'disappearance' came to light.
Thanks to his daily banter, many people expected that Bogonko (The Jackal News writer) would pour his thoughts outs on social media in regards to the attack.
However his silence left many worried and concerned of his whereabouts as family and friend made rampant searches for him, but if the Jeff Koinange Live interview aired on KTN yesterday is anything to go by, Bogonko may well be safe and sound, just away from the spotlight!
Jeff Koinange’s interview with Boniface Mwangi a popular photo activist revealed that Dennis Itumbi the Digital, New Media & Diaspora Director in the Office of The President, may know his whereabouts.
Here is how a part of their conversation unraveled!
Jeff: Boniface would run for an office?
Boniface: I think I would.
Jeff: You would?
Boniface: I think I would
Jeff: Are you going to?
Boniface: Am I going to? It’s too soon to answer. If I survive till 2017; if they don’t kill me like King’ara, GPO, Gitau wa Gitau, Pio Gama Pinto, Tom Mboya; all those people that they have killed. If I survive till 2017 maybe I’ll run.
Jeff: I think Kimaiyo (Inspector General of Police) is watching, he’s gonna make sure you’re protected.
Boniface: Itumbi as well! He works at State House…and Gichangi (NIS boss) as well. I want to speak and go home to my wife and kids.
Ekuru Aukot: I want to assure you Boniface, nobody will kill you. I think Kenya has changed. I think now we tolerate…
Boniface: Bogonko Bosire is missing. You know Bogonko Bosire?
Jeff: No, he’s not missing.
Boniface: Where’s he?
Jeff: He’s somewhere.
Boniface: Are you sure?
Jeff: He’s not missing. He’s not missing.
Boniface: Where’s he?
Jeff: Ask Itumbi.
Boniface: Itumbi? Itumbi said he doesn’t know where he is.
Jeff: Really?
Boniface: Yes!
Jeff: No. Ask Itumbi.
Well, Listen to their conversation here and be the judge!
