Who killed Dr. Mbai

In some countries, crime files are never closed and are usually opened years later. In Kenya, a file once closed is never reopened again. This unwillingness of the Kenyan justice system to keep unsolved crimes alive and follow those cases to their logical end promotes crime. The justice system seems to suffer from fatigue and is often unable to carry out investigation, which go on for long period. Conducting an investigation is a campaign, which might give immediate results or continue for years. The Kenyan public has come to believe that once an investigation goes on past a given period then the chances of its success is a good as zero. And they are right given that cases such as those of Dr. Ouko, JM Kariuki, Gama Pinto, T. Mboya etc have ended up in the dustbin. Dr. Mbai case is heading this direction. I will not be surprised to hear the suspects who are demanding a new trial being dismissed as daydreamers and told that the case had ended period. Lets all keep Dr. Mbai`s murder case alive, for justice must be done or seen to be done however late.
