Investigations were immediately launched into the shooting and arrests made, giving hope to concerned Kenyans that the masterminds of the shooting would be brought to book.
Garissa County Governor Ali Bunow Korane was questioned by sleuths from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Those few weeks after the shocking murder attempt gave the Kenyan public confidence that the case would be resolved.
The same cannot be said lately.
Investigations appear to have stalled, diminishing the prospect of justice for Mr Muhktar who's fighting for his life in a coma, and his family.
The family has already cried foul and accused investigative agencies of failing to move decisively on the culprits.
We have seen investigative agencies move decisively on comparable cases.
The Sharon and Monica murder cases are moving very well, increasing the prospect for convictions.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Government agencies involved in the case must act in a manner that gives confidence that those responsible for the unconscionable murder attempt will be put behind bars.
Failure to do so will be a spectacular failure on their part.
