Haiya!!!

SENIOR police are in turmoil after former senior Deputy Police Commissioner Francis Okonya vanished last Friday.

His official car was reportedly seen driving into the US embassy in Gigiri on Friday afternoon following an acrimonious row with Inspector General David Kimaiyo and his deputy Grace Kaindi in the morning.

Okonya has since disappeared and his phones are switched off. Police officers went to his home in Westlands on Friday and Saturday but his family said that they had not seen him.

The police panic is largely because Okonya was the chief police investigator into the post election violence in 2008.

The National Police Service Commission dismissed him in April after he was vetted. However he went to court and the court ruled that he should stay in office until the matter is heard and determined.

Okonya resumed work in May but last Friday morning he found that the locks on his office had been changed.

He first confronted Deputy IG Grace Kaindi at her office in Vigilance House. He then stormed over to Kimaiyo's office in Jogoo House around 9am.

Two of his cars were withdrawn but he then drove out of the compound of Vigilance House at 9am in his official MG car. That car was reportedly spotted at the US embassy at around 3pm by GSU guards who called Vigilance House.

Okonya's office has now been allocated to Senior Assistant Inspector General of Police Joseph Ashimalla who has been appointed deputy to Kaindi.

Top cops tried repeatedly to reach Okonya but he had switched off his mobile phones.

The fear is that Okonya might volunteer to be a witness in the International Criminal Court against President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto.

As Deputy Director of CID in 2008, he prepared a detailed Power Point and 100 gigabyte report that he presented to senior police officers.http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/police-panic-possible-icc-witness-disappears#sthash.VdCRHFjY.dpuf

Okonya...was he the classmate of Piny Eny Maidha of rcb kitambo....of Mosocho high gusii.Young Luo dude who rose through the ranks quickly. I remember him transfering my uncle and everyone at the CBK anti bank fraud unit. When i talked to teso ICC witnesses the former APTC commander whom my uncle had tremendous respect..i told him the account was hacked by Itumbi ...and told him to log off...and never try to chat the other ICC witnesses..this was out of tremendous respect i had for him and we didn't chat from then..he was in french speaking country trying to learn french....

If Okonya has ran away he should know it's  not going to be easy life..he will be in refugee camp trying to learn french like Iteso man,
