A Kenyan member of parliament has been shot dead in the streets of the capital Nairobi by gunmen on a motorcycle in a suspected assassination.
Police said the attackers had been trailing Charles Ong’ondo Were’s vehicle before one of them got off the motorbike and shot him at close range.
“The nature of this crime appears to be both targeted and predetermined,” police spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga said in a statement.
The opposition MP had two months ago complained about threats to his life, local media reported.

"Speeken" 😂😂😂
What many people don't know, He was a criminal. He had organised gangs within his sub county who work on his behalf.
If you do anything against him, you'd see fire.
We moved on last month🏌🏽♀️🏌🏽♀️
Speaken surely! mtu wetu usituangushe
I'd like to share a dream i had…Before i slept i told the Lord to show me my future, a dream came when i slept, in the dream i was wearing millitary clothing and had battle wound,later on i was walking and i saw peoples lips moving saying,"have u heard Jesus has come ,Jesus has come,"and i said to myself if He has come i have to see Him for myself…i started to search for Him and there was someone on this earth perfoming signs that deceived people and they thought it was Jesus and i said" how comes these people dont know this aint Jesus?" And i followed a narrow path which led me to a red ladder so i climbed the ladder which led me to the heavens and i came out in millitary clothing .There was someone trying to come out of the earth not using the red ladder , a shark came and bit him and the individual fell back to the earth and there was blood because of the bite He got so he didnt make it inshort ..so i looked down from where i came from and saw satan performing signs on the world and wondered..where i was God's presence was so strong and a mighty voice said,"Mungu ni Mkubwa" which means "God is Great," i looked on the front and i saw Jesus walking before me as a shepherd walking before His sheep ,He was also wearing millitary clothes .I ran to Him and told Him "Jesus nichukuwe tu enda tu na mimi" which means "Jesus just take me and go with me" , he asked me, "what should i do with the ones left behind?"and i heard satan cursing them"Fuck them!"😢 i was brought back to the earth and Gods presence was around me. I looked up to the sky Jesus was standing in the middle of angeles He was bigger than them and a voice told me"ivo ndio nakuja".. its swahili it means..Thats how am coming.. and i woke up ..
So, it is news when it comes from a muzungu?

He was a criminal. He terrorised his constituents using goons.
Tuko masaa
BBC keep reporting indeed 👌🏾 That is what happens in Kenya 🇰🇪 when one goes against William Ruto.
Maybe a bit more jeopardy for our own MPs might improve their decision making, and stop their pandering to billionaire interests
Narcos Africa, the prelude
Typical Kenyan behaviour!
I am also being targeted and now on high priority list for framing by CNB. Under environmentally friendly, framing project to recycle all the kits for framing stories. Report where?
Kasongo yeye
We should worry about it or we move on guys?
I thought these things happen only in Uganda where someone can come and shoot people but also in kenya
hahaaa!kenya here again..this was a cover up of trending of BBC documentary!it was well planned.
nope, from what I learned in the comment section, kenyans don't have time for this.They're saying "move on move on, keep it moving".
Ruto has been trained by Museveni of Uganda, that's how they eliminate their opponents. M7 shot Kirumira, Kawesi, Naduli, Ichuli, Katumba Wamala daughter etc…..
Rip
Sad development my condolences to the family
Corruption at its best ☹
People are moving on 😂😂 Kenya is great 👍 from the Gambia.
From the comments alone, this is why Kenya 🇰🇪 the way it is. I don't feel sorry for them at all. I do hope their president arrest them all and send your to jail while he steals from your and make you people pay lot of taxes
🙏🏻🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤🛤
MPs need to serve the people who put them in power
Politicians and police are the criminals in kenya. Barbarians in suits
