The man Raila
The Hypocrisy of the Man Raila who some worship him as human rights defender
In 2015 the guy came up with Okoa Kenya bill which he described as meant to strengthen the 2010 constitution.
In the Okoa Kenya bill he had proposed to strengthen the independence of Judiciary by making JSC only the sole appointer of chief justice. He has also proposed to strengthen the senate by making it an Upper House. The guy had also proposed police reforms because he had said the govt was using the police to harass his supporters thus politicization of the police.
Fast forward to 2020 and the guy is supporting the BBI which seeks to erode the independence of Judiciary by having an Ombudsman who will discipline the judges and is appointed by the president.
He is supporting BBI that seeks to emasculate the powers of senate by taking its role to decide the revenue to the national assembly thus making senate an idlers house with no major role.
He is supporting BBI that seeks to return the tyranny of the police and its politicization by abolishing the national police service commission which was established due to many police reforms proposals and have it under a council of a minister and Principal secretary who are political appointees of president.
The same Raila who claims to have fought against imperial presidency is the one supporting its reintroduction through the BBI that will now have president who appoints PM 2DPM and know Ombudsman thus controlling both executive Judiciary and Legislature.
The same Raila who claims to fight for marginalized communities is busy championing BBI that entrenches one man one vote one man one shilling formula and thus will marginalize counties with less populations.
This guy is nothing but a fraud who is just thirsty and hungry for power. He will support anything that he thinks will favour his ascendancy to power and try to paint himself as human right defender and reformist.
Even if BBI passes and he fails to win presidency, 2023 he will be back again seeking for further changes in Katiba.
Thats why personally I have never supported and will never ever support this guy…
