It looks like elaborate plan to deploy military as we head towards elections.
They will now say that voting stations require more security during elections within radius of 400m or may increase radius to 1km after the latest attacks!!
-
Sounds like a terror attack. WSR is luckly he wan't around.
-
It appears they will try to link it to terrorism to justify the use of KDF. It is being reported that the attacker wore "somali clothes".

Ruto looking for sympathy votes or executing guards who may know more than they need to know. They need to release the name of officers that were killed. Why would terrorist attack after Ruto had left? How would 2 attackers over power several GSU guarding the home? Why does a private home has an armory? So many holes in this story.
-
Reading 3 or 7 attackers --seem like Alshabab.
-
Yeap. Why are you trying to complicate it? I know the prospect of loosing - which is more than guaranteed - is making some of you lose their minds - but there will be other opportunities in the future for new leadership to emerge from your place.
Its not a very complicated script.

Reminds one of Tujus GSU guard that ran away with his wife and was later executed kienyeji style. Media should release the name of officers killed.

Just imagining if the wife and kids were there.

If you are talking about leadership coming from my ideological side of Kenya then, then I will never give up on that one. However, if you mean leadership coming from Luo tribe or my village then you do not know me because I could careless. The fact that nothing significant enough has changed in your life since Ouruto came to power five years ago confirms that "leadership emerging from your place" , is really overrated.

7-10 assailants is what am hearing now. Seem like a terror attack. Why they chose Ruto and Sugoi - I guess we will find out soon.
-
Good. Keep your mind intact. You'll need it after election. Of places to attack (if there was need to attack) - you think Ruto would attack his own home? Are you nuts?

All I am saying is that "do not be too quick to swallow that terrorism line". Ruto maybe in danger but not necessarily from Al Shahab or NASA. Think outside the box. WSR should worry more about his enemies in Jubilee than in NASA or Al Shabab. A lot of people in Jubilee are blaming him for the impending lose. They believe his arrogance, unpopularity, inability to hold the rift together, and his affinity to corruption and scandals is going to cost Jubilee this elections. WSR has stepped on too many toes on his way up and he only needs one of them to bring him down.
BTW: I do not need my tribesmate in office to stay sane.

They attacked when Ruto and family even family dog were all conveniently OUT.
GSU appeared in seconds but just behind the media.

Here is NASA's take on what is going down at Ruto's Home:
MARKED PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT PAPERS TRANSFERRED TO RUTO'S SUGOI HOME:
The turn of events:
A) 29/07/2017:
1) 10 Am NASA addresses a press conference tabling concrete evidence associating the military with election rigging plans.
2) At 12 Noon, Uhuru Kenyatta responds accusing Raila Odinga of divisive politics and unnecessary attack on the military.
3) At 3:30PM KDF spokesperson issues a statement from DoD headquarters acknowledging that the documents originated from the military.
4) At 5PM Mutahi Ngunyi tweets "military secrets never leak easily, and in an event that they do, the military never accepts.
5) At 8pm the National Security Council summoned to an impromptu meeting at State House, in attendance were security chiefs, the president, Ruto, Matiangi, and Omamo.
To discuss how to relocate the marked presidential ballot papers to Ruto's home.
1) Fred Matiangi and Rachael Omamo issues a joint press conference denying that the documents originating from the military as Mutahi Ngunyi had directed. Instead accusing opposition of blackmail. Saying that they military doesn't have a spokesperson as we speak.
2) William Ruto jets to his Sugoi home in a chopper. Chairs unknown meeting with unknown people.
3) Shortly after 5 choppers land in the compound leaving 30 min later.
4) Shortly thereafter TV stations highlights Breaking News : Ruto's Sugoi home under siege.
Meanwhile William Ruto is busy insulting and blaming NASA in rallies some few kilometers away from the very home under attack.
5) Several hours later police choppers start leaving, civilians sent away from the neighborhood as Jubilee allied politicians start arriving.
We're not fools.
They started by creating a scene such that the arrival of military tanks and choppers with marked presidential ballot papers are delivered safely in Ruto's compound without raising eyebrows.
They had to change the location where the marked ballot papers were hidden because NASA had already known and Jubilee had suspected that they might invade the area with the international observers.

The BBC is reporting that a "knifeman" entered the DP's home. One "knifeman" who apparently managed to keep our "brave forces", including a REECE unit, at bay for hours.
But there is an even deeper mystery than that of the "knifeman": Ruto has enough money to hire all sorts of architects to design his house, yet what is shown is a spectacularly ugly building that reflects zero imagination. What went wrong?

Like I said within minutes of the reports, the whole thing stunk to High Heaven.
A man armed with a machete (The Ethnic Rag has edited their site to call it a sword ... may be later it will become a Samurai sword). He overpowers an elite soldier. Initial information was that the soldier was unarmed. So it follows that no gun was taken from him.
The attacker with his machete proceeds to hide in a building under construction. From here he is reported to have engaged the backup elite troops in a six hour long shootout.
Remember he had no gun!
I know there is a movie by that name - Machete - from that same place Ruto got maize? Is it Mexico? He seems to shoot machetes or is it just one machete. He overpowers gunmen.
I fear one of those may have stowed away in a maize sack and is responsible for this National Emergency called today.
If you believe this, know you are a sucker!

I noticed the building. If that is the one billion dollar house, ..

Have you seen Weston hotel? Kenyan fundis are jack of trades..I wonder where they copied this ugly monster from. Kenya houses has one of the worst finishes. I was looking at the rental homes/apartments all have the same ugly look leaving the landscape looking pathetic. No one bothers to change the plans ..

Okay this is confusing. Was it terror attack or assassination attempt. Seem shooting continued till night.

Here's why this is total Bullshiet
Supposing it was diversionary, what did it achieve? By watering down the assailant, it makes the attack less high profile which means there was really no risk . KDF issue is still there though I doubt any sane primate will raise it, Al Ghurair is there, a machete is no excuse to unleash KDF. A machete attack is also not likely to earn nobody sympathy say contrasted with a bullet wound.
And supposing it was a conspiracy. How does throwing in all those players, Recce,AP,villagers and all help keeping it under wraps? The more players a CT takes, the less improbable it gets. That's why I don't buy this big pharma shiet of hiding cancer/HIV cure,911 or fake moon landings. No way all those players are going to keep quiet forever.
My take is there was a real attack of a higher magnitude than we are told. Why water it down? To make the forces look better. An attack of that magnitude reeks of total failure in our disciplined services.
-
Expect them to see many ghosts as kichapo ya mbwa is awaiting them on 8.8.2017.

Yep.
The hottest theory is that ballot papers were being moved.
Beats me why all these eyes are required to do that. Makes risk of being busted higher.
NASWA are yet to comment on it
-
These are the usual omollosque stories - which are bereft of any intelligence. I don't even waste time with them. NASWA are confused because they are expecting WSR to wail and squeal like them over any ghost - unaware that Kalenjin are very stoic folks - you can never hear them running around saying xyz wants to kill them. WSR continued with his rallies and I bet even today he won't miss his programme..coz of the attackers.

Instead of ad hominem, why not challenge me with facts so it is not you saying I lack a brain but the public reading your well argued evidence.
Let me start:
1. The Kenya Police - the only authority on Law Enfrocement and who had forces on the ground (Regular police and GSU) say there was one machete carrying man.
2. The evidence is already posted here by vooke - a statement saying so
3. No media house claiming "attackers" has so far produced any evidence to that effect.
4. The Managing Editor of The Ethnic Rag Media hîs on record as follows:
So please, what does your super brain say? The IG is lying?
Of course. It all part of rigging plot. You should borrow a brain for a day and see what difference it makes.
There were no attackers.

So what happened to the Attackers you attacked me over?

All I reported is what different media source reported. I don't speculate or go into conspiracy frenzy like a mad man. The media reported whatever they got from police & the people on the ground. We will shortly know the motive of this attack.

I don't understand...what is the connection to the story?

The lone gunman was a Somali hawker who had gone to the farm to collect his dues. Turns out he had some weapons training.

where do you get the weapons training bit? Where did you get the idea that he was a GUN man?

Now fresh details show that
one policeman was killed, his gouged out and his ulimi sliced. another stabbed. Anyway this could be a lone wariaha gone beserk. These guys no cowards and some of them have know how to handle firearms better than our inept security forces
http://www.nation.co.ke/news/New-details-emerge-Sugoi-attack/1056-4038198-1480g03/index.html
More details have emerged after the daring attack at Deputy President William Ruto’s rural home in Sugoi.
Police said an assailant was shot and killed on Sunday morning ending a 20-hour siege.
While addressing the press after the end of the operation, Rift Valley Regional Coordinator Wanyama Musiambo said a police officer was shot dead by the assailant during the raid.
The slain officer’s eyes were gouged out and his tongue sliced, a police source said.
Mr Musiambo said another police officer was injured and is recuperating in hospital.
Officials said it was a lone-wolf attack.

More police sent to DP Ruto home after raid
“The gunman was using different guns to confuse security forces that they were many,” Mr Musiambo said, adding that security had been restored at the deputy president’s residence.
A source told the Daily Nation that the machete-wielding man attacked a GSU officer manning the gate before he gained entry into the house and into an armoury where he accessed the weapons.
Mr Musiambo assured locals, who had been camping outside the home with bows, arrows, machetes and other traditional weapons, that more security personnel would be deployed to the home, but asked them to embrace Nyumba Kumi initiative and report suspicious characters in their neighbourhoods.
The DP has not said a word about the incident and continued with his campaigns in several parts of the Rift Valley on Saturday.
On Sunday morning he attended the consecration ceremony of Venerable Timothy Gichere as the bishop of Anglican Churches of Kenya, ACK Mt Kenya Central Diocese at Ihura stadium in Murang'a County.

What is the story behind this one? Is he the guy who overpowered a guard with a panga?
-
I think so. He later killed a cop, cut his tounge and wore his clothes. A real bullshitter.Who all along has been acting as hawker.

If he single handedly puts that place on hold for 24 hours, Seal Team 6 is missing an operator. The obvious question is why didn't he have a gun to begin with? Who seriously plans to take on the DP's detail armed with a panga?
If he is just a nutcase, then recce unit should be disbanded for incompetence.
This shit is extraordinary. I need to see some extraordinary evidence. Whoever gave that narrative should also contact Nollywood for a scriptwriter's gig.

1) We don't know everything now 2) He had GSU officer as hostage 2) secondly Ruto wanted him captured alive- it would have been easy to just throw a grenade and end the charade. I have seen such hostage including in the US where one guy with plastic pipe held FBI/CIA/Police for hours.

I will wait and see who they say this guy is. I find each of those claims 1) and 2) implausible and each requiring its own set of evidence.
The example you cite in Alabama is true and I even remember following the story; they definitely were focused on saving the life of the young hostage.

And here is the yarn WSR is spinning.
Deputy President William Ruto has asked Kenyans not to be distracted by schemes and plots by those working to bring down the unity achieved in the country.
Ruto said attack of his rural home in Sugoi in Uasin Gishu County was part of the machinations to frustrate Kenyans as the country is headed to the August 8 General Election.
Speaking at General Ihura stadium during confirmation of Bishop Timothy Gichere as the fourth Bishop of Mt Kenya Central ACK Diocese, the DP said Kenyans should remain focused and elect credible leaders with passion to unite the communities.
"Jana nilipata wageni wabaya kule Kwangu na hii ni njia tu ya kusumbua ushirikiano wa hapa nchini (yesterday there were unwanted guests in my home and their motive was to undermine and frustrate the existing unity which we have nurtured)," Ruto noted.
-
Just imagine if it was Raila under attack. There is something to be admired in Kalenjin stoicism. It why sport scientist have been studying the mindset that make kalenjin endure 42kms of hard pain in hard tarmac running at crazy speeds. Ruto has taken this attack and many more like true blood warrior.
“Your ability to withstand pain-- that in a sense in the Kalenjin tradition made you a man.”

Interesting - I guess they need to dig deeper into that hakwer -- must have been alshabaab gathering intelligence.
If he was a Somali, then he was definitely Al Kebab. Right? Still, attacking a guard with a panga seems to be an odd way to gather intelligence. But if the lone "knifeman" was indeed Al Kebab, then it explains why lots of police, regular GSU, REECE were involved in what the Daily Nation has described as a "heavy offensive" that took the better part of a day and a night. Those Al Kebabs are something else!

If you are to believe the rationalization by Pundit, the massive offensive was merely to ensure the attacker comes out alive because the hustler didn't want him to be killed. Most of the gunfire? The pangaman shooting at the cops who could not return fire in case they kill him.
I can't make sense of what was going on yesterday. It might even have been something utterly "harmless". But the explanations just raise my bullshit meter.

The idea of law-enforcement types in Kenya passing up an opportunity to kill someone is an amusing one. Anyways ... this thing went on for a long time---with the Daily Nation, The Star, etc. constantly varying the number of "attackers"---and at no time did anyone hear about "get him/them alive". The focus seemed to be on just getting him or them. Is anyone else---including Ruto, who has just made a statement---selling this "get him alive" line?

Other than Pundit, I haven't anyone else mention it. But maybe they haven't had to explain what he was trying to explain.

Lone wolf armed with a pocket knife attack a trained elite officer grabs the gun...cuts armed officer tongue and gorges the eyes....This sounds more like a silly Nigerian movie.
My money is on the poor officer being executed for knowing more than he was supposed. Hopefully they will release the slain officer name.
The house should have cameras on all entrance let them release the tapes.

Yes. Other than Pundit. Anyways, ... according to the latest report, it appears that although
officers from the elite Recce Squad laid a 20-hour siege to flash out the attacker
the government is not going with the "get him alive" line. They instead have another "explanation": the Mission-Impossible knifeman cleverly managed to hang on because
"The gunman was using different guns to confuse security forces that they were many,"

It should put to sleep the "keep him alive" theory, and it is hilarious. Maybe, just maybe these jokers were covering up something else.

I'm trying to locate DPORK's house on Google Maps
https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001249695/details-of-dp-william-ruto-s-home-attack
This article says the home is 100M from Tapsagoi-Turbo Road. So I queried Tapsagoi Primary school (the only Tapsagoi Google Maps know of) to Turbo directions, some 6.2KM.
Next is to 'walk' along the route looking for anything suggesting royalty. The closest I get to the home is this

That's The Stunted, so one can never be sure. Still, if you look directly north of the primary school, you will see what looks to be a largish estate, with buildings on one side and a chunk of the farmland on the other side (NW of the school). The roof on one of the buildings is of terracotta colour, which would match that on the DP's monstrosity. So could be that area.

Thanks. I think I picked it but it looked like it was not fenced for them most of its perimeter. Plus, is it really 100M from the road?

If you ignore the map for a second, you will be hardpressed to deny that Kenya must have the world's deadliest hawkers. They will fight recce unit if that is what it takes to get their money.
According to reports, four men, two riding on a motorbike and the others on foot, went to the sentry gate and told a police officer that people inside Ruto’s home owed them money for clothes and other items sold to them.
One whipped a machete and stabbed an officer who questioned them on the neck and hands before they grabbed his gun and demanded keys to the armoury.
They then headed for the second gate, about 100 metres away but were repulsed by another officer who shot at the intruders.
Sensing danger, the gunmen dashed back to the sentry area, where they opened the armory and began exchanging fire with General Service Unit officers.
-
Lol! Enyewe this story is bizarre. And I'm confused: were there more than one? Did I not read hapo juu that one guy was shooting many guns to confuse police?
-
It was a lone gunman. He was firing using the officers guns not his machete.
He never got past the second gate so nobody was at risk
All else is BS
Question
Why have an armory between the two gates?

Question
Why have an armory between the two gates?
I have no idea. But both the armory and its location are interesting if one guy with a panga can get into it and then arm himself well enough to keep an "elite REECE unit" at bay for 20 hours, not to mention the kawaida GSU and police. Plus, as it turns out, all sorts of "warriors", who showed up with bows, arrows, and what-not, ready to fight for the DP.

If he did not go past the 2nd gate then where was he all night causing confusion by shooting multiple weapons?

The whole story is BS. Why do they find it necessary to sustain it? Is it supposed to rally the Kalenjin behind their leader? I recall seeing some folks armed with crude weapons ostensibly walking towards the scene. If this was a genuine attack, why were they tolerated by the police?

Lol! You should see this Mel Gibson movie 'Payback'. Dude's determination to get his fair share of the money he had helped steal. Hilarious. :D

I love that movie! Have watched it two times. My favourite scene is where that guy (facing likely death) is so shocked that a person, however angry and legitimately aggrieved, would be bad-mannered enough to shoot a hole into one's alligator-skin briefcase. Priorities!
-
This thing is bizarre the last time it happened it was Michuki house get shot at.. then all at sudden KHRC started reporting that bodies of young men was being found in Ngong... EJK became a new word.. it seems may be a purge is in the offing. Who knows what type of shenanigans are happening.. this is really bizarre beyond bizarre.. it like that drugs case where the GSU man who manned the store was forced to eat his friend brains and then shot dead
-
If you read Not Yet Uhuru where Odinga spills some of the earlier government secrets you will find interesting that he would be in the game and then statehouse would use him as the scapegoat.. Americans would be after weapons being brought to help Uganda .. The weapons were moved to harambee house basement and Americans sent on wild goose chase.. later the gok admitted it was bad Jaramogi that was helping the communists.. Whatever games are getting played here are just too intriguing we wont know the details now but in due time ruto may decided to write his own tell it all

Lol! I need to watch it again, its been a while and I have forgotten some scenes. The whole movie is a bizarre take on priorities.

I was talking to a 65 year old illiterate lady who has been following the alleged attack on radio and TV and she initially bought the plot of the what was taking place and she told me that she is no longer buying that story because of the many glaring exaggerations and lack of transparency in the whole issue. How in the world would a simple hawker conveniently come to a well guarded home and overpower the most elite security personel and managed to hold them
at bay for about 20 hrs and coincidently non of the family members was around. The DP also didn't seem rattled. He continued with his business as usual. My guess like that many others is that thereven was some mission that was being accomplished here and the "attack" was meant to achieve a specific objective.

The real story here is the missing IEBC manager in charge of ICT. The poor hawker, his friends claims to have seen him when all this non sense was going down, how he turned up dead later in DP house is a mystery.....kenyans need to know where IEBC manager is..is he in sugoi?
-
The comedy continues.
The "multiple guns" that confused the "law-enforcement" types appear to be no more than one pistol and one rifle at best. But this one guy was really something. The police, regular "dreaded" GSU, "elite" REECE, and still:
"Several attempts to access his hideout failed; hence an armoured personnel carrier was summoned to give officers cover to deal with the threat posed by the intruder,” Mr Boinnet said during a press conference in Nairobi.
http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Terror-angle-in-probe-into-attack-on-DP-Ruto-s-home/1056-4038738-xajuxa/index.html
Perhaps not surprising, though. GSU, KDF, etc. are always perform well only against unarmed civilians.

Where did you hear that? The other hawkers talking..... Do you have a link to a report?

Kenyans poor analytical skill at its best.
1. 'Just a hawker'. Who said hawkers are disabled?? The touts and hawkers in Nairobi are some of most lethal thugs we have terrorising Eastlands. Their handling of all sort of guns is legendary. You would think Pokot warriors or Al Shaitan attend Kiganjo for shooting lessons!!
2. A 'well guarded' blah de bleh - After proof exposing how useless the VIP guarding system is, everybody is still talking of how 'well guarded' the place is. No officer guarding the VIPs is ever alert, likely to find them talking to shamba boys and chasing the maids around.
I heard Werunga talk of how commanders should have layout of Ruto/VIPs houses for evacuation. Likely no architectural design of the 'mansion' is available given our mediocrity or Biwott like paranoia.
The commanders had no clue number of guns at the 'armoury'. Thus nonsense on many gunmen - different guns!! Being a weekend the big men were likely inspecting constructions or visiting mipango ya kando before this act by ' well known enemies of peace' aiming to cause tensions and blah blah.
