His life, just like the helicopter crash tin which he died on a day like today, remains shrouded in secrecy. Although he was a public figure, his family has opted to remain tight-lipped on their private investigations into his death.
Pathologists who carried out investigations into his death pointed out that Saitoti, who was Internal Security minister at the time of his death, could have been poisoned together with assistant minister Orwa Ojode, their two pilots and the two bodyguards who had accompanied them.
