Kenyan minister killed in crash

George Saitoti, Kenya's internal security minister, dies along with
five others in helicopter crash outside Nairobi

Kenya's internal security minister was killed along with five other
people in a helicopter crash near Nairobi on Sunday, the vice
president said.

George Saitoti and his deputy, Orwa Ojode, were among those killed
when a police helicopter crashed on the outskirts of the capital, vice
president Kalonzo Musyoka said.

Two pilots and two bodyguards were also killed in the crash, officials
said.

The death of Saitoti is a "great tragedy that has befallen our country
at this time as we are making elaborate preparations to hold peaceful
elections," prime minister Raila Odinga said at the scene of the
crash.

It was not immediately clear what caused the accident. .

"As we speak now, nobody knows the cause of the accident," Odinga
said. Saitoti and Ojode were on their way to a political event in
eastern Kenya.

Saitoti, an American-trained economist and mathematician, was a deputy
to former president Daniel arap Moi for over a decade.

As security minister he was the government's spokesman on security
matters including Kenya's decision to send troops to Somalia last
year. Analysts say he played a key role in that decision.

Saitoti often appeared on national television to reassure the public
in the aftermath of deadly attacks blamed on the Somali militant group
al-Shabaab.

Saitoti announced last year that he would seek the Kenyan presidency
in 2013.

Odinga said the helicopter crash on Sunday morning was similar to an
incident four years ago in which two Kenyan cabinet ministers died in
a plane crash.
