“A Kenyan opposition legislator was shot dead in the capital Nairobi in what police have described as a ‘targeted and premeditated’ crime. MP Charles Were was shot on Wednesday night after his car stopped at a roundabout on a busy major road. President Willian Ruto urged police to conduct a ‘through [sic] investigation’ and said Thursday that those responsible ‘must be held to account.’ Were was in the company of his driver and bodyguard when a motorcycle taxi approached their car, and a passenger disembarked and approached their car before firing at the MP, police said in a statement.” (05/01/25)
