  3. The kikuyu saying ‘ugi wi mbere ya hinya’ (wisdom is stronger than muscular person) – A Kikuyu or Kalenjin president? It makes me sick. Let’s negotiate.

    By Macharia wa Gakuru

    - ‘wisdom is stronger than strength’ – Kikuyu – English, I hope this lightens your mood for the week.

    ‘Gakuru I want to leak the ruling for ICC to you before anyone else,’ a friend of mine rang me to inform me of the ruling at Criminal court in the Hague, Netherlands, ‘Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto, Francis Muthaura and Mr Sang are to face trial. Koskey and Ali are free. Bye.’ I knew who had called me and I was very pleased that our many hours of analysing Kenyan politics on ICC issue was now mature enough to predict the outcome vey close to the judges ruling.I started to look for news from all the websites that I knew that had interest in this case. BBC was the first to put the news on their website, five minutes after I had received the call. From here I started putting a news piece together but the story line kept changing. Shortly after the President announced a commission team to deal with ICC suspects and then a shocking Attorney General Prof. Githu Muigai came on with a very silly announcement. Mr Githu Muigai said that the government would wait for the outcome of the appeals that the suspects have said they will file against the International Criminal Court ruling before deciding whether to ask them to leave office. “The suspects are appearing in their individual capacity. The government cannot speak on their behalf on what to do and what not to do,” said Mr Muigai. My heaven broke loose.

    I thought the ‘smiling man’ the former Attorney General Amos Wako was a joke but now we have a ‘serous clown’ in the Attorney Generals’ chamber. I knew Kenya had made a mistake. This Attorney General might be another DCJ, Nancy Baraza who this time round pinched the Kenya Law’s ‘nose’ and he needs to be kept under watch. If he is not careful his days may be numbered. By this pronouncement he committed a crime against the constitution of Kenya as quoted by a courageous Justice Minister Mutula Kilonzo and I quote, “I am totally convinced that Chapter Six and Article 75 of the Constitution demands that someone who is accused of such offences steps aside pending determination of the case. Their stay demeans the integrity of their offices.” I think that Prof Githu’s case is decided. …read more
