Help! Bishop Wanjiru’s life is in danger!

Starehe MP Margaret Wanjiru is not your ordinary Wanjiku. She is a citizen of substance — a Member of Parliament, an Assistant Minister, a theological scholar with a doctorate degree and a church bishop with her own private spot on prime time television.

But her life is in danger. To be more precise, some people want to kill her. What’s worrying is that the people who want to bump her off are not even making an effort to cover their tracks.

They even have the audacity to arrive at her residence in a GK car and question her workers in broad daylight.

Usually, State agents are very sneaky when they are hell bent on masterminding a politically motivated assassination.

In fact, the victim sort of just disappears without trace. It’s therefore most frightening that those who are after the bishop don’t even have the courtesy to tap her phone, bug her house with secret microphones or tail her stealthily.

The most annoying thing about these crooks trailing the bishop in a GK car is that they have forgotten that she is a top government official. Why are they messing around with a member of Government?

Whoever is after the bishop has also forgotten that this is the Lord’s anointed, not some fornicating politician that you casually assassinate in the streets. This is someone who speaks in tongues, performs miracles and commits (high profile) sinners to the most mighty. Harm her? Are you kidding?

Whoever is after the bishop shouldn’t take it for granted that the Mungiki sect members who surrendered their snuff to the Lord after she got them ‘saved’ are harmless. They could backslide, you know, and only hell knows what they would do to whoever touches their new spiritual ‘adviser’.

sleep easy BISHOP

But the bishop might take solace in the fact that no politician who has publicly — she filed a report at the police station in the glare of television cameras — expressed fear for their lives ended up dead.

At the onset of the coalition Government, fears were rife in some quarters that the security detail seconded to the Prime Minister was calculated to place his life in danger. Two years down the line, he is still dancing in slums and robustly reforming the Government.

Most recently, Gitobu Imanyara and Paul Muite have separately expressed fear for their lives. But like many other politicians before them, and barring a disrespectful mosquito, chances that they will die peacefully in their sleep, aged and toothless, are very high.

So sleep easy Hon Dr Bishop. Once the press knows that your life is in danger, no one, not even the Government or your political detractors, can fix you.
