HOW RAILAS MEN IN BLACK EXECUTED THEIR CRIMINAL MISSION; The Men in Black” who disrupted ODM elections in February were acting strictly on instructions and executing a carefully crafted criminal script. The top ODM leadership was not in the dark regarding the presence and role of the riotous goons at the polls.There was an elaborate plan to disrupt the elections should it become clear that the Hassan Joho-Ababu Namwamba team was going to win. The masters of the “Men in Black” – including three senior ODM officials from Nairobi County – assembled an army of close to hundred youths from Nairobi’s Eastlands and Kibera under the stewardship of former Makadara MP Reuben Ndolo, former Nairobi Mayor George Aladwa and the party’s Nairobi Youth Leader Collins Ondiek. The idea of thwarting the Joho-Namwamba faction was mooted immediately after Mr. Raila Odinga met Nairobi delegates in Upper Hill on Wednesday, two days before the election date. Immediately after the delegates’ meeting ended, a group of senior Nairobi party officials including Ndolo, Aladwa, Nairobi ODM youth leader Collins Ondiek and Kadundo, who is in charge of security at Orange House, met at the same venue at 3pm to plan how to execute the scheme to stop the elections… We agreed that a group of youths posing as party private security people be stationed inside the hall and blend with the delegates but take strategic positions from where they would easily swing into action should the need arise,” said the source (Standard on Sunday, March 09, 2014). “The instructions were very clear: do not allow anything to continue after we give you the signal to act,” said the reliable mole. In the scheme, which the mole said went on according to plan, a senior politician (name withheld) donated Sh.200,000 to procure the black jackets for the “security” people to ensure they looked distinct and easily convincing that they were indeed security personnel. “Most of them have provided security during ODM functions previously and, therefore, it would be easy for the delegates and anyone else to trust them. And as anticipated, no one raised a finger when they got in and sat comfortably in the hall which was strictly reserved for bona fide delegates, the election board, observers and journalists,” said the ODM-KPU source. The black jackets were ordered on Wednesday and a female tailor, who is a relative of the senior Nairobi ODM-KPU official, promised that they would be ready the following day. “A total of 12 tailors started working on close to 40 jackets while the youths were told to get black trousers to match with the coats. She did an amazing job and we picked the jackets the following day as promised,” he said. The following day, the “Men in Black” and their masters met at 3D Restaurant on Elgeyo Marakwet Road from 7pm. Later in the night, at 11pm, the group relocated to Green House on Ngong Road where they briefly met one of the candidates running for the secretary-general position (read Dr. Agnes Zani). About an hour later, the team accompanied the candidate to Ngong Hills Hotel on the same road. At about midnight, the group met Mr. Raila at the hotel. Mr. Raila had come to the hotel from a meeting at Kempinski Hotel on Waiyaki Way, Westlands where he had met the Joho-Namwamba faction. Mr. Raila, according to the reliable mole, took his dinner before he briefly met the group and asked them to “fuata vile wakubwa wenyu wanasema” (take instructions from your bosses).
