New details have emerged in the mysterious death of Kariobangi North MCA Joel Munuve after Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka revealed that an independent sample was secretly taken and is currently being tested in a foreign laboratory.
Kalonzo made the announcement during a church service in Machakos, raising serious questions about the official government narrative. The government pathologist had claimed that Munuve died from a blood clot, but Kalonzo dismissed the findings and hinted at a deeper truth.
He stated that steps had already been taken to ensure a parallel investigation, and the results from abroad could uncover what really happened.
Munuve, a first-term MCA, collapsed and died last month shortly after attending a politically sensitive meeting. His death shocked many, with several leaders expressing suspicion over how quickly the state concluded the matter. Kalonzo’s remarks have now fueled speculation that Munuve’s death may not have been natural.
“What they don’t know is that we ensured another sample was taken, and it’s currently being tested outside the country,” Kalonzo said, making it clear that the matter is far from over.
His words were firm, pointing to a clear lack of trust in the government’s handling of the case. Sources close to Munuve’s family confirmed that the extra sample was indeed taken, though they avoided giving details about when or where it was sent.
They also did not name the facility conducting the tests or say when results are expected. The silence from the Ministry of Health has made the situation more suspicious. Attempts to get a comment from the Chief Government Pathologist failed, adding to the growing concerns over transparency.
Political figures who were close to Munuve have privately voiced doubts about the official autopsy, with some suggesting that there was a rush to close the case. Kalonzo’s statement is now seen as a challenge to state institutions, as well as a warning that opposition leaders will not stay silent when one of their own dies under unclear circumstances.
He insisted that justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done.Observers believe this could lead to more tension between opposition leaders and government bodies, especially if the foreign test results show something different.
