"The last few weeks have been marked by a sense of national grief due to the arrest and unexplained death of a young teacher and blogger, Albert Ojwang, while in police custody. The ensuing explanation of the cause of death by those in offices of responsibility has been exposed as lies and systemic cover up of murder. While Kenyans expressed their constitutional rights by demanding for justice through picketing, it seems that some individuals still do not grasp the gravity of the matter and the depth of the collective anger that is cutting across the nation," he stated.

Odede was also disturbed by the shooting of Boniface Kariuki, wondering why the police had cheapened human life and operated with 'absolute impunity'.

He also called out the 'joker' behind the sending of goons to the streets to cause violence and destroy property to frame those who are marching for a good cause.

"Whose goons were they? Why can't our leaders understand that there is collective national grief and anger due to these cold-blooded, murderous acts where some security officers are playing the roles of both the judges and the executioners?" Odede questioned.

Implying on Eliud Lagat's alleged involvement in Albert Ojwang's murder, Odede he used the example of Prophet Nathan to identify who exactly was at fault.

He wrote:

"When the prophet Nathan passed the judgment of God on David over the death of Uriah, the prophet said that David had killed Uriah with the sword of Ammon. The person for whom the murder was committed bears the responsibility of the murder regardless of whose sword was used."

Odede noted that mere resignations of police officers will not end the national anger but justice must be found through arrest and prosecution of entire line of perpetrators.

He also called out top leaders who stay silent while Kenyans are demanding accountability, saying they treat the people as though they are a bunch of vuvuzela blowers who should be ignored.

"When those who are assigned with the responsibility to act in these situations are dragging their feet other than speedy response to this crisis moment in the nation, they send a signal that those who are raising their voices in protest are just a bunch of vuvuzela blowers who should be ignored. Perhaps they are also sending another subtle message like the one that king Belteshazzar received: "Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin," he added.

Odede, representing the church, called on the leaders to adopt another approach while handling the crisis and address issues raised by the 'keyboard warriors'.

Earlier, Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) gave an update on Boniface Kariuki's health and the type of bullet that shot him.

In a presser, KNH CEO William Sigilai confirmed that surgery had been performed on Kariuki, but they were yet to conclusively determine what type of bullet was used in the shooting.

He said the material had been submitted to authorities but was likely to be a rubber bullet.
