Via Silvanus Osoro
Dr. Fred called on me yesterday and we indeed met somewhere along Ngong rd for a few minutes.As a man,he regrets some of his actions against many of us including H.E Dr.WSR.He is very remorseful,looked weak and subdued and clearly sounded like one who needs HELP from whichever quarter.
He is battling so much in his life,much of it his conscience.He however asked me a question I found difficulties to answer.That as an appointee of the MOST POWERFUL person in Kenya,would you decline some of his directives??I told him,he could have moderated the orders and use his own conscience.He challenged me to TRY USE MY CONSCIENCE as a Majority Whip if/when given direction by Dr.WSR and see whether I will survive an extra minute in the seat.
I switched topic and asked him why he really fought me.With humility,Dr.Matiang’i apologized to me and confessed to have fought me and Hon.Nyamoko among very few others.But again,he raised another question.As an azimio member then,what did I expect from him??I said FAIRNESS since he was a civil servant.He ACCEPTED his mistakes and apologized again.I challenged him to list ALL LEADERS he must have crossed his paths with,call them and PERSONALLY apologize.Its not a hard thing to do.After all,leaders in this country aren’t as many and one can’t forgive unless remorsefulness is displayed.HE GLADLY ACCEPTED MY CHALLENGE.At that point,as a human being and christian,I truly felt for him.He was LOW,WEAK and DROVE HIMSELF to my meeting point which was actually BESIDES THE ROAD in MY CAR.He parked his car,I ordered my driver out and ushered MATIANG’I IN…HE OBLIGED to every directive and suggestion I gave.I have NOT SEEN such kind of humility before.
In our 30mins talk,NOT a SINGLE CALL came in through his line while mine rang non-stop.He actually haf an appointment with his doctor within the same time and had to make a call to him as we parted.Apparently,the doctor ‘forgot’ to call him as he was busy with other patients and was certain that he woukd visit,anyway.Atleast thats what I overheard from his call.
My submission to him was;
1.He avoids any PUBLIC ALTERCATION with H.E Dr.WSR whether in words or conduct.
2.He avoids media temptations NOW for any interview.
3.He appreciate and accept himself,appreciate the situation and accept that Dr.WSR now is in charge.
4.Plan to make peace with ALL HOME LEADERS,apologize if necessary.
5.Avoid temptation of ANY PUBLIC RALLY attendance.Tame his ‘sycophants’ who I consider all cosmetic against picketing and rioting.He actually told me he wants a QUIET LIFE AWAY FROM public atleast for a few years to rethink how to restructure his life.
6.He has Dr.WSR contacts and although I know DR.WSR has NOTHING PERSONAL against him,he should constantly reflect his past engagement with him and where he messed,even when its not in the president’s mind,do a text and APOLOGIZE unconditionally.Whether answered or not,it touches one’s heart.
But above all,I gave a disclaimer that,if there is any criminal link direct on him,he will still face them.I assured him that Kenya Kwanza will not engage on witch-hunt,pettiness and unnecessary squabbles with him or any Kenyan for that matter…
Matiang’i left happy,home and fairly okay.Off to see his doctor.
I write here to categorically say that from now henceforth,as a born-again christian,I have unconditionally forgiven Dr.Fred Matiang’i and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
BORA TU ASICHOKOZE DR.WILLIAM SAMOEI RUTO.Hapo nayo nitarudi na FUJO KAAALI SANA.
GOOD DAY FOLKS…
