Good morning,
In less than a month, another shooting incident happened in Embu where a man was on Wednesday, June 8 night shot dead by unknown people in a similar way to that of Samuel Mugo Mugota.
It is now been reported that the victim had been on the radar screen of police detectives.
Dennis Mbae Mutegi, alias Mbuyu, was also battling court cases for drug trafficking, robbery with violence and murder.
Mbae was on his way home in his white Toyota Noah, registration number KCX 559A, when gunmen in a car with no number plates blocked his path around 11 pm at Bonanza, before pumping 20 bullets on him.
Residents said gunshots could be heard three kilometres from the scene of the crime.

This means that, after today, the House can only convene for a special sitting on the request of the Leader of the Majority to Speaker Justin Muturi if there is a matter that requires the intervention of the House and cannot wait.
