Kelvin Muasya Mutava, technician based in Central Police Station, has finally admitted unplugging power from the CCTV system on the night Albert Ojwang was booked at the facility before dying later, but a lot of questions have emerged.
1. Who ordered the power to be unplugged from the CCTV footage?
Despite claiming that he was paid Kshs 3000 to disconnect the CCTV system from the power source, Kelvin Muasya, by the time of going to the press, hasn’t revealed who he was obeying or, for a better word, who was his boss.
2. Why take long before arrest?
One doesn’t need a master’s degree to try and decode why Kelvin Muasya’s arrest (if at all it is genuine) took long to be initiated. Owing to the fact that not once or twice police have been implicated in coercing suspects to admit mistakes, the question as to why it took long before Kelvin Muasya was arrested needs to be answered.

3. How long did it take, for the station to realize that CCTV system was offline?
That is another question a serious detective would want to seek answers to because, after Kelvin disconnected power from the CCTV systems, then what next? You mean such a Police Station operated for hours without CCTV footage? And if so, what would have happened if another crime occurred?
That notwithstanding, the latest report by The Star newspaper that the late Albert Ojwang was tortured inside Karura Forest and that one of the top police bosses was there leaves many unanswered questions such as the motive, the main sponsors.
It remains to be seen if the family of the late blogger Albert Ojwang will get justice or if the story will quickly follow other similar stories, being buried in the air.
