A senior Kenyan cabinet minister and his deputy have been killed in a helicopter crash
near the capital, Nairobi. George Saitoti was Internal Security Minister and a candidate
for a presidential election expected to be held by March next year. He was also the leading
government voice against Somali militants, al Shabaab.
It is unclear what caused the crash in which Saitoti’s deputy, Orwa Ojode and at least one
other person also lost their lives. The blue police helicopter came down in a forest.
