Businessman Jacob Juma and CORD twitter blogger was on Thursday night shot dead by unknown gunmen in Nairobi.
Police say Mr Juma was killed at 10 p.m on Lenana Road near the Southern By-pass.
His vehicle was found in a ditch with the driver’s window shattered.
Police say nothing was stolen from the businessman as two mobile phones and cash were found in the vehicle.
Mr Juma was a contractor who also had interest in mining and never shied away from controversy.
He had a litany of winding criminal and civil suits. On Twitter, Mr. Juma ran under the username @Kabetes.
The 42-year-old who ventured into business after studying at the University of Nairobi has been vocal on political issues and severally bashed the government.
He will be remembered for claiming his mining license was revoked after he allegedly declined to pay a bribe demanded by Former Mining Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala .
Balala termed the allegations as malicious.
The businessman also refused to apologise to Supreme Court judge Njoki Ndung’u for claiming she received money alongside Justice Philip Tunoi. Ndung’u refuted the claims.
