With Mwai Kibaki’s election as Kenya’s president in 2002, political change brought a new investigation into the murder of Dr Robert Ouko, Kenya’s Minister of Foreign Affairs murdered in February 1990. But was the Parliamentary Select Committee’s further investigation diligent and fair? Was the PSC’s chairman Gor Sungu impartial? Or was the PSC just a show trial? What of the Ouko murdered at State allegations made by one George Wajakoyah? Had many witnesses mysteriously died? Why did the PSC’s “star witness”, Marianne Briner-Mattern dramatically change her story to one of Ugandan prostitutes being supplied to President Moi? Did Briner-Mattern have an “intimate relationship” with Moi as she claimed? Did a US Embassy official have lunch with one of Ouko’s murders? The murder of Dr Robert Ouko - who was innocent? Who was guilty? Could new DNA testing solve Ouko’s murder mystery? And has Kenya repeat learnt from the past or will we make the same mistakes again?

This was very compelling. Growing up, like many Kenyans I heard the rumor that implicated Biwott and Moi, bought it completely and repeated it as 'fact' probably because it was the only theory out there. If Biwott truly had nothing to do with Ouko's murder then it's very sad that he had to bear the burden of being labelled the 'Ouko killer' all his life. However, I find it interesting that this documentary completely 100% rules out his involvement. His participation in this documentary by accepting to be interviewed, something he rarely did, if ever, especially on the subject of Ouko's death, raises questions in my mind. Did Biwott sponsor this documentary before he died? It seems well researched but almost everyone interviewed dispels the Biwott theory. Very compelling but raises questions about objectivity.
I wish this was released when Hon. Biwott was still alive, if it is true then, together with Moi, have been branded killers wrongly for many years. However,God will punish the actual killers of Mr. Ouko (may his soul R.I.P). I didn't know we have a brilliant investigative journalist in Kenya as this guy,congrats for a well done job.
Jamaa it was aired on Kenya TV some few weeks or months before Biwott died. It was actually rumoured to have been released to try and clear his name in case he passed on as he had been ailing for a long time.
The sad part is that you find this brilliant. These guys were said to have been paid to clear someone's name . But it did not work out. People still mourned Ouko loudly the minute it was announced the person had died.
They only posted part 1 on youtube then removed it but yes it was aired on Kenya national TV and largely FAILED to achieve the desired results.
If you believe this then you might as well as believe that Dr Ouko never died in the first place.
My only question is whose name are they trying to clear now?????
@@kenyadrama8492 Biwott Paid top dollar for his name to be cleared
Why was the state so involved in Oukos murder casein they were not part of it.They should have let the Scotland Yard do its job.Being close to a president does not guarantee you anything infact it’s more a danger cause presidents have no friends they suffer from paranoia.
6 parts of intense excellent journalism👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
It's A Cover up!
although we don't get the murderer ..this is so enlightening in some angles..it has exposed so many details
Such an articulate and informative documentary, which probably sets base for further disclosure.
Citizen you should receive an award for this piece of investigative journalism.
From the evidence given..either facts or truthful...I lay it all on kisumu local politics and family differences....👨🏾⚖.....
How is that possible with a Minister of Ouko's calibre? you think he was a local chief whom you just walk in his house shoot dead and off you go? you must have been very young indeed at the time to believe that.
Who odered for his passport snd bodyguard to be withdrawn?
This journalist was paid to fact twist. By the end of the documentary, he doesnt have a suspect as he clears all those who were responsible.
After finishing this episode, there is substantial evidence to who might have been involved in Ouko's murder.
There are many unanswered questions. Most importantly why would a British doctor examine Ouko's body? Who was Ouko's neighbour James Oyoo a current govt official visiting in Swiss and UK at the time Ouko was on govt trip?
There was no substantial evidence of bad blood if they were all in the same party and Ouko acting as govt spokesman on govt trips abroad. It is to my opinion that the report Ouko had to submit sidelined the British from their marriage with Kenya after their US visit. Information could have spilled out to intelligence and the rest happened. Family feuds and local political rivalry was used to cover up the murder. His political friends were used as sacrificial lambs. Moi could have been blackmailed to expose his private life so is Biwot. There has been stories that Biwot was always on the run until his death, never ate at public places and sometimes exchanged cars while on a trip. From whom was he running?
Why did Moi suddenly agree for a multiparty state in 92 after a failed coup? All are related to diplomatic relations which lie with the foreign affairs ministry. Food for thought.
This is such a critical analysis of the matter.
From what I have watched, Moi, Kiplagat and Christabel know the killers.
Gor songo is such a bafoon even the mzungu @8:52 is buffled by his bafoonery
Well..if anyone remembers very well, President Moi issued a statement after Dr.Ouko was reported missing...that he should Dr Ouko should report to the nearest Police station that he was alive and anyone else who knew his whereabouts should do the same. Protocol would demand Moi do some official finding out from his family, telephones, aides, government officials and homeland security...The government's actions and propaganda machine then acted very suspiciously and thats why if any theories came up was a direct response. Like all believers here..if the killers are not known by human beings..then know this..no one can hide from OUR FATHER OF CREATION!!!!!
This is good journalism... Thank you for separating fact from fiction
Inaitwa fact twisting. This was done conveniently prior to Biwott's death. It had already been aired on Kenya TV shortly before Biwott died. What new facts have they given us then? who killed Ouko and why?
@@kenyadrama8492 Man, you live up to you username. Continue with your hearsay/conspiracy theories etc. From this docu, all they've done is ask questions that were never explored/exploited and showed how ridiculous the investigation became. Maybe there was an opportunity to catch the real killers but the investigators seem to have left it all to public opinion and uncorroborated reports
This was a impartial submission that delved into facts. Of course its inconclusive but it sheds light on the plight of Dr Ouko prior to his disappearance and subsequent death.
The fact that there was evidence of police interference with the witnesses and some key witnesses dying mysteriously only point to one thing, Ouko's killer was a powerful person in government. Evidence of family feuds is just to distruct us to look the other side.
Basically this documentary was done to "clear" some people's names and not help us find out the culprits.
Paid for and sponsored by Nicholas Biwott seemingly
The same Marianne that caused Jeff Koinange to lose his job.
Wtf, I didn't know that
Thank you very much for the informative series of Ouko's death and damaging the ignorance before Kenyans of the purported killers.
This is great fact checking by the journalist. Good work and I hope to see more
How is it that Troon was tasked to solve the murder and his report was inconclusive.?... He brought more confusion than light ..The series is a total let down
He wasn't allowed to complete the investigation
I loved the series
No sin goes unpunished , it visits generation to generation......if not addressed
As investigators we mostly depend of factual documented truths rather than Hear say>> Establishing ALIBIS are hard> But OUKO'S death is a mystery that still baffles seasoned instigators> there so many twists in that murder mystery> but the actual truth might not suit those who believed in the sensational tales that surrounded that murder> the killer was closer to Ouko than anyone thought possible>
For the first time since Ouko's murder, I have promptly dropped Nicholas Biwott and Moi as the undisputed murderers of Ouko. If Moi (or Biwott for that matter), in a moment of involuntary insanity, perceived Ouko as a potential threat to their power, Moi's style was to promptly sack him and probably follow it with detention (even without trial). I repent for falling for a lie. Didn't like the way Sungu treated Biwott at the PSC sitting.
Eye opening piece
Wah! Good job and objective. There are so many lies we've been made to believe over the years. Why now? The people who have been tainted as criminals have died without being given a chance. It's unfair
Although I have no evidence, I strongly believe that Robert Ouko was killed by Moi meaning he either ordered for the killing directly or endorsed the killing.His strange behavour after the killing confirms that he has everything to do with Ouko's gruesome and callous murder.
Can't get over the way he says Aganyanya. Great series.
Who is here this year? Piga like
15.11 Willy Mutunga "Nobody wants the truth" - WHAT is the truth? What is Mutunga's version of who killed Ouko? Kenyans might not have clear unimpeachable minute by minute details of what happened to the late minister on his last day on earth, but they are keenly aware of the people who had the motive and the means to prevent effective investigation & disclosure. If people in power/authority frustrate & stymie investigations, they then should not be frustrated/surprised that the finger of suspicion sits heavily upon them. It is completely unacceptable that citizens get conditioned to feel that these kind of crimes are investigated without courage/integrity, and finally are painfully unresolved.
Brilliant job Waweru Njoroge . You should do more of this kind of coverages . Consult with Jeff Koinange he is good at that too.
A great mystery.Shall we say only the late Ouko knew who killed him and why.
6 episodes of investigative journalism to tell us Biwott was innocent?
I kind like the investigative approach, but it is incomplete because it doesn't explain how mysterious murders occurs.The TV show that Biwotts gives an account of what happens is the same one that exenorates him
This one-sided pro Moi & pro Biwott piece should appear properly only under the personal TH-cam pages of these two journalists. Kenya has talent but the brown envelope syndrome is alive and well as can be discerned by the tone of this "episodes". It is obvious after skimming through the episodes that the main task from start to end is not to highlight the sad reality that a nation's foreign minister was murdered callously, the investigation thwarted, and the killers did not face justice in a court of law. The main reason for these episodes shamefully hosted by Citizen TV TH-cam pages is to strenuously defend & sanitize Moi and Biwott.
Njoroge and Minns do a good analytical job . however they seem to exonerate everyone and justify that position . Surely somebody must have killed Ouko with a motive , and that person must be from among all these suspects unless you want to suggest that it was someone else completely . It would seem that Oyugi knew something . Maybe even within the extended family , because successful people usually attract a lot of enemity , rivalry , jealousy and hatred within the clan . Probably the family and Moi had an idea , which is why Mrs Ouko said that the suspects in the book may not be the ones , suggesting that she had an idea of the truth , but maybe its just too sinister to think about or reveal . RIP Dr Ouko .
Don’t believe this news false Gatter press there is no way ouko murder could have been plot without Moi knowing since those days no one could even called Moi name even at night pple were afraid of him I believe the two has something to do with the death but now let them face God’s wrath
Facts, superb work!
Excellent...i think its local politics and family.
I agree .. He asked for the gate keys and met people who he was very familiar with. They had to be very familiar with the area, prepared with torch, kerosene, gumboots .
Then you might as well as believe that Ouko never died.If you believe this you can believe anything.
@@andrewmuriithi2148 I suspect the same
@@kenyadrama8492 Guys are very easy to be lied to and manipulated.
I trust a woman's instinct, Oukos wife instinct could be right.
Their is just a way God created them.
I was in class 7 during the inquiry by the Gor Sungu commitee and i could tell Gor was a buffoon.He bungled the whole process.
Never seen a Voice Over artist so desperate to be the star of the show.
Calling Scotland Yard to do the job and letting them do the job are two different things,how many inquiries have we had but still nothing came out infact Scotland was sent packing before the job was done.
In Part 1 of this sroty, you said that a piece of cocasian hair was found at the murder scene. You did not say what happened to this piece of hair. Did you deduce who the owner of the hair was?
You sure left this little piece of hair hanging.
Probably the hair of a hired hitman . If they got t the principal then they would have known the owner of the hair but that never happened.
Could be family related....maybe even the wife lol
So who killed Dr. Ouko? This series does not help. With all its machinery, how come Moi's government couldn't unearth who killed his minister. The truth is that Moi knew the killers and he covered up.
Will not brought Ouko back
Wow!! This is some shocking revelations. I cannot imagine being Biwott
My key suspect would be the wife.
Ooh Wajackoya did a great job
That intro is cringe inducing.. it's like a bat that once spoke!
Biwot Was being Targeted by UK for the Oceania Fiasco>> anybody remember how Moi embarrassed the UK by defending Biwot the woman eater by force>>
only God knows what happened. He is the best judge
and those who killed him know it too, its just they were shielded by those who were supposed to expose them. So Humanly, it made it hard for anyone to know coz they cleaned up evidence by wiping out witnesses. You are right Angela....those who killed him cannot hide from God.
I don't know why but I think Biwot is innocent...but Moi nooooooo
A lot of incompetence in the killing, investigations, and overall handling of the case.
Almost everyone interviewed exonerates Biwott raises questions though
This was an anticlimactic ending
He probably knew his killers and wasn't surprised, his inner circle was full of questionable characters ..but it seems he fully trusted his wife but probably didn't discuss with her his daily business though his personal assistant must have had intimate knowledge into his life and daily schedule..
To be honest, that piece of perfomance at the very beginning of every episode is absolutely absurd and ridiculous! It's annoying! What does the book of Job have to do with all of this? And why is he even reciting scriptures on sensitive matters as these? It only makes it more dramatic and adds no sense at all! On another note, all the 6 episodes i watched were quite informative. You examined the subject in depth and very carefully. Thank you for bringing clarity. The only problem we still have is that, nobody has solved this mystery. We still don't know who killed Mr. Ouko and what the motive could have been!- We are back to square -1 where we can only conclude that he was killed out jealousy by a blockhead political jackass who couldn't stand his intelligence and bravery!
suihtflava did you really watch it, you didn't see the part about his last sermon at home, personally if that was his last scripture I would also use it as they did, that was the last message the universe sent to him
Stop distraction,Kenyans are aware how what led to oukos death
I highly suspect his wife, maybe like many politicians he was having side dishes
Gor was a fool
Those who waited for us to be born then tell us it was Moi and Biwott, where did they get their information?
This is quite something I must say
This mzungu knows nothing very useless defender of Moi's dictatorial regime full of murderers
