Thanks for this KTN News Kenya. Excellent work, great history. Inspector Wambugu refers to G.K. Kareithi and Kanyotu. G.K. Kareithi, in those days, was the Head of the Civil Service, and James Kanyotu, in those days was the Director of Intelligence. Back then, what we today know as the National Intelligence Service (NIS), was known as the Directorate of Security Intelligence (DSI), and/or "Special Branch." Inspector Wambugu also mentions Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) which had actually not been opened at the time. Inspector Wambugu must mean, Embakasi Airport, Nairobi, because Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) was opened on 8th December 1978.

Udi Gecaga, also mentioned by Inspector Wambugu, was Mzee Kenyatta's son-in-law, was married, at the time, to Mzee Kenyatta's daughter, Jeni Kenyatta. Udi Gecaga, in those days, was the Deputy Chairman of Lonrho East Africa.

Oloitiptip refers to Stanley Shapashina ole Oloitiptip, a Kenya Cabinet Minister (Kenya Cabinet Secretary), of those times. Oloitiptip, as I recall, was at the time, Minister for Natural Resources (Cabinet Secretary for Natural Resources).

Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, 28th February 2024.

2:12 To me, the day that Kenyatta died is like a century ago, because I was not even born until more than a decade later. But this retired police inspector recalls it as if it was yesterday.
