Just a day after the Former Garissa county finance CEC was shot in Nairobi, fresh details have emerged on how he had had been grappling with security threats over his life.
A source within Idris Mukhtar's family which sought anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter disclosed that the attempted assassination was politically motivated.
"It is no doubt that the attempted assassination case was politically instigated. Idris had a good number of friends and foes alike from the political spheres. I would not want to pre-empt the story but let us give our security agencies time to finalize their investigations," commented the family source.
However, the alleged political foes could not be easily identified since Idris had not announced any intention of running for any elective position.
Idris was shot in the head in Sunday evening on his way home after attending evening prayers at a Hurlingham mosque.
