Was President Uhuru in U.A.E Watching Formula 1 Race While Kenyans Were Being Massacred as Robert Alai Claims? (Photos)

Is the president being used as the scapegoat in the Mandera massacre or are Robert Alai’s claims true?

First things first, the blame game being played on Mandera massacre would not help solve the insecurity challenges the country is facing or bring back the victims (May God rest their souls in eternal peace). Social media screamer Robert Alai is alleging the president was in United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) watching Briton Lewis Hamilton win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix while innocent Kenyans were being massacred.

True, the president was in Abu Dhabi but his main business there was not watching the formula 1 race, he was there on an official business. The president had even updated the nation prior to his visit that he was visiting the Gulf nation for a four days official visit.

Alai provided the guest list of all the heads of States and Governments who attended the race but one thing he fails to understand is simple, whether the president attended the race or not, that was not his main agenda there.

The Grand Prix happened to be a “by the way” on the sideline of the president’s official visit, I mean why would he not attend while all other leaders attended? He could even borrow a life from Abu Dhabi and start similar project in Kenya, who knows?

Anyway, the bottom line is that the president’s visit only coincided with the unfortunate Mandera massacre, there is no need to sound any alarm that the president was watching a race when Kenyans were being massacred. As much as much as someone must be held accountable for sleeping on his/her job, Alai alleging the commander in chief was watching F1 while innocent civilians were being killed is totally uncalled for. I agree much needs to be done to seal all the loop holes in security but then again it is not right to look for a scapegoat in such an incident.

Families of the slain victims need justice, the right person(s) who failed to protect the innocent civilians and the perpetrators themselves need to be hold accountable. Blame game wouldn’t help the families who have lost their loved ones get justice. That is just my opinion anyway.
