LAW Society of Kenya, Kericho branch, has challenged the Government to
come out clean over the presence of the alleged Armenian mercenaries
in the country.
The branch secretary Gideon Mutai said the mercenaries saga was a
security risk to the country and the sooner the Government comes out
with a clear statement over the issue the better.
Mutai lauded Langata Member of Parliament Raila Odinga for disclosing
the presence of the mercenaries in the country, describing him as
a leader who has the welfare of this country at heart on matters
pertaining to security.
Mutai asked other legislators to emulate Raila and come out strongly
in his support by intensifying pressure on the Government to take
necessary action against the aliens before any damage is done to
the country.
Said he: "By this time, the Government should already have arrested
the two Armenians while investigations were being conducted with the
assistance from those who claimed their lives are being endangered
by the duo."
"It is deplorable to note that the two are yet to record statements
with the police and continue to enjoy State protection," he added.
Speaking to the Press in his office, Mutai wondered why the Government
was quick to order some Opposition MPs to record statements while
the Armenians did not do so, especially after they admitted that they
had been approached by Raila and Kalonzo Musyoka to scheme and fund
on a plot to oust the Government.
He said Kenyans are more enlightened now than ever before and can no
longer be cheated by cheap propaganda.
He said the characteristic of the Armenians left a lot to be desired
whether they are business men or not saying right from the way they
dressed and work.
"Do business men have time to wear neckties, gold, bracelets, golden
wrist watches the way the Armenians are? These are normally the type
of people we usually see in movies and theatres," he said.
He castigated lawyers who are associated with the Armenians saying
there is no advocate-client relationship in an act of wrongdoing
especially on matters touching the country's security.
