Cliff Ombeta Speaks Out on His Botched Assassination

Flamboyant city lawyer, Cliff Ombeta, famous for his courage, charisma and no-nonsense personality, expressed his frustrations with President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto's association with US President Donald Trump's administration that he accused of hypocrisy and undermining Kenya's sovereignty.

Ombeta sensationally claimed that some American detectives wanted him dead for defending the Akasha druglords.

Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, on Tuesday, October 22, Ombeta claimed that American detectives who allegedly pushed the Kenyan government to extradite the Akasha brothers to the US for drug trafficking, numerously tried to assassinate him.

After extradition, Baktash Akasha was sentenced to 25 years in prison in the US as his brother Ibrahim Akasha awaits to know his fate in November 2019. 

The lawyer claimed to have resorted to devising numerous strategies, that he did not disclose to this writer, to neutralise the alleged plot. 

"The Americans break our laws and pretend to uphold justice. They are the kind of people who insult a dog to kill it.

"Then, Kenyatta and Ruto heap praise on them, promising to extradite more, shouting from their rooftops that they will not condone drug trafficking. They have allowed them to trample our sovereignty," Ombetta ranted.

He further claimed that the Americans trailed him numerously and almost pinned him down at a top city hotel.

"A waitress came to my aid. She spotted them recording and alerted me. I approached them, snatched their laptop, smashed it on the floor and threw the fragments away," Ombeta alleged. 

According to the attorney, his courageous acts to stand against them irked them a lot, however, they succeeded and had Akasha's extradited to the US, a move which threw Ombeta out of the case.

He stated that he could not appeal the case as it was beyond his jurisdiction, arguing that the Akasha's were denied fair trial in Kenya. 

"I always avoid confrontations in my cases, however, for them if it meant fighting them so as to pursue justice, then I would have done it," the lawyer asserted.
