Goldenburg: Story of a whistleblower

She was very shocked and could not believe it when she came to visit me in remand.

Lakini, she could not believe. We talked for a very short time — five minutes.

Alikuwa amekasirika sana, she was very disturbed.

Alikuwa ananiambia nimwambie vile nimefanya. Nikamwambia I’m very innocent.

So she thought I was lying and she was very much annoyed.

So ndio akapata stroke two days later na akapata depression. So she came to be admitted to hospital. Kwa sababu ya hii maneno tu.

Before that she was healthy lakini vile alisikia nimeshikwa she got mad! Because she could not reconcile why I was arrested.

Are you getting me?

She said, “Wamekushika, wamekushika! Watakuachilia? Umenifanya nini?”

When I was released after bond tayari alikuwa hospital so, naenda kotini, naenda kumwona. Alikaa hospitali karibu mwezi moja alafu she passed away. I was already on an interdiction and you just report at the security office and you leave.

Are you getting me?

Unareport alafu unaenda, unasign then you go on your way. I was being paid half salary. I had a case in court.

After a month my mother passed away. It took a month for the A-G to say that there was no case against me.

My state of mind then was confused. Well, my family was supportive to some certain extent but it was not easy.

Two months after mention the AG released me. I wrote a letter to CBK showing that the AG had entered a nollé prosequi.
