I have said it here before and for the sake of the latest development on Dec. 28, 2010, I'll repeat it.
Sammy Kamau Wanjiru is a wreck!
He is a great athlete but a bad fellow. When I say this, I don't profess to be a good man. There is no sanctimony on my part.
There is nothing made up with regard to the charges that have been preferred against this guy.
Yesterday, Dec. 31st, a friend of mine called me to wish me a happy new year. He was calling from Nyahururu. He plies his trade in the town. He knows Kamau very well.
I am from Nyahururu too. My home is about twenty Kms from the town and Nyahururu is our main town. The next large town (Larger than Nyahururu) is Nakuru which is 65 Kms away.
I also talked to someone else (guy number two) who knows something about what transpired on the material day.
Back to my friend.
Let me start with the second guy but before I do so, let me first talk about Kamau very briefly-I have said this in a different thread but for the sake of what I am about to say regarding the case, I'll repeat it.
Sammy Kamau keeps BAD COMPANY! It cannot be gainsaid!
He hangs out with a bunch of uncouth semi literate hoodlums. Some of these ruffians are jobless.
They ride in his sleek Range Rover and double up as his bodyguards. They have caused mayhem in virtually every watering hole in the town.
To them, Kamau is a small little god and provides them with their version of Nirvana. He's young, he's rich, infact very rich (by any standards) and he is generous. He also has some character flaws that his friends have. Talk of birds of a feather.
As I mentioned here a while back, Wanjiru has appeared in teh same court due to assault. He was accused of assaulting a Kenya Army soldier. The KA has a training base here.
Since I've written a lot, for ease of reading, I'll break it down into parts.
