So I come to Ktalk unlogged and find out a certain member, let’s call ‘it’ NkathaJosephine (if you read the comments in The Star you know what I mean) has made 20 posts. Well, not my site, so what do I know?
But what if that were the @native son?
The hypocrisy of the owners of this site reminded me of Maraga, the mkora and his cabal of 100 judges.
Last year, when Nasa defied the courts and enforced a no-voting zone in Luo Nyanza he was quiet. When the same Nasa defied the High Court in Machakos and continued to hold its so-called people’s assemblies, he was quiet. When the same Nasa defied the Constitution and staged a mock swearing-in he was quiet. When Nasa politicians break the law in any manner his judges release them on 50K bonds, while hapless poor chicken thieves, bloggers and wife beaters are slapped with 500K bonds.
We MUST revisit the judiciary. For one, we must re-establish the ethnic composition of the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. THESE COURTS MUST REPRESENT THE FACE OF KENYA, WHICH is “Kikuyu 22%, Luhya 14%, Luo 13%, Kalenjin 12%, Kamba 11%, Kisii 6%, Meru 6%, other African 15%, non-African (Asian, European, and Arab) 1%” ( https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ke.html ).
For another, the JSC must be compelled to hear all outstanding petitions against any sitting judge.
Thirdly and lastly, Maraga and his cohorts MUST be made to decide whether they will serve the Republic of Kenya or not - as unelected officials, they cannot be allowed to perennially subvert all other arms of gavament under the guise of dispensing justice.
On his part, Uhuru Kenyatta must grow a spine and call these jokers’ bluff. Fact is, although our prejudiced media will not tell you, that the president has near universal support - in and out of Kenya - of any action he takes. Which is why nobody protested the closure of the rogue TVs, for instance beyond issuing innocuous and bland statements.
As I keep saying, Kenya is bigger than all of us; let’s rise up to the occasion to protect it.
