📻 Breaking It Down

The shooting, which occurred on Tuesday evening shortly after a youth sensitisation forum at Kariokor Social Hall, has triggered public outrage and raised difficult questions over the circumstances under which Ouma sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

The two officers attached to the Principal Secretary’s security detail have since been disarmed, with their firearms submitted for forensic examination as investigators work to determine whether they were used in the fatal shooting.

At the heart of the investigation are sharply conflicting accounts from police, witnesses and the victim’s family.

According to Ouma’s relatives and fellow youth organisers, he had helped mobilise young people to attend the government-sponsored empowerment forum and later approached the Principal Secretary’s vehicle to seek additional transport reimbursement after participants reportedly rejected the amount initially allocated.

Family members claim Ouma returned to the vehicle intending to hand back the money before events took a tragic turn.

“He was given Sh 10,000 by the PS, of which this money he told the guys who were waiting for the money that ‘I already only have 10,000. I don’t know how we’ll share it’. The guys said that is too little. Instead of us fighting ourselves, just return the money to the PS,” a witness claimed.

Witnesses allege that Ouma entered the Principal Secretary’s vehicle during the encounter and was later shot before being thrown onto the roadside along Park Road.

He was rushed to Park Road Nursing Home but succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival.

Preliminary findings indicate Ouma suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including injuries to his left arm and chest.
