Tuesday, February 15, 2022 – Bahati Member of Parliament, Kimani Ngunjiri, has been directly linked to the assassination of renowned Kenyan environmentalist, Joannah Stutchbury.
Joannah, 67, was killed in July last year at her home in Nairobi.
Friends said she had stopped her car to clear branches blocking her driveway when she was shot several times.
Neighbors found her body in the car with the engine still running and valuables still in the vehicle, suggesting the attack was not a robbery.
Stutchbury had vocally opposed attempts by Kimani Ngunjiri to build on the nearby Kiambu forest and had received death threats in the past.
According to a preliminary report released by Senate’s National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations Committee, Kimani Ngunjiri was involved in the murder because it is his company Agro Pack Limited that wanted to build in the Kiambu forest.
The report further says Joannah was fighting against the move by the company to encroach the forest by constructing a road that could lead to the company’s farm.
In their recommendation, the committee has directed the Inspector General of Police and Director of Criminal Investigations to probe the said individual (Kimani) with a view to make an arrest and prosecute him over Joannah’s murder.
