Not yet dawn

Few years down the line ,the citizens of kenya had no  faith in the kenyan law courts. The citizens together with the 'reformists' worked tirelessly to come up with a new constitution.They rest all their trust on the document and eventually vote for it in a refurredum in 2010. Changes started to show up in different government departments.
The judiciary is not left out , first we witness a transparent interviewing of the president and the vice president of the spreme court. Eventually we get  new people to fill these offices. Mr Willy Mutunga as the president of the spreme court and Mrs Nancy Baraza as the vice president of the spreme court.
The whole process receives praises from many. The citizens hopefully wait  to see the new dawn in the judiciary.
Before long Mrs Nancy Baraza startles everybody on the eve of the new year 2012 by holding a gun at Mrs Kerubo, a security officer in a supermarket in  Nairobi. At some point  am disturbed  and wonder,'If it were a junior judge or magistrate, could there be a commission for investigating him or her?'
 'Were it that a male justice  had done that to Mrs Kerubo what could have been FIDA's response?' Mrs Baraza has now moved to court to block the commission from probing her claiming it has no powers to do so.Meanwhile the story takes another dimenson with some politicians coming out to defend Mrs Baraza.
Just a year after voting in the new constitution, it comes out clearly that it is just but a document. The players in the game still remain the same. When is this angel called justice going to pay Kenya a visit?

court's ruling on ruto ,uhuru debate , a wise ruling

The court's move to stop debate on Ruto,Uhuru legibilty to contest for presidency is timely. The debate had shifted peoples attention forgeting other isssues of nation interest. The politicians should now turn to ensuring that the citizens' interests are addressed. It is almost 5 years down the line and the IDPS are still in the camps. The economic situation at the moment is not favouraable for the citizens,hunger problem in some parts of the country is still unsolved.There are many issues that needs to be addressed urgently.

It was wise of the judges who gave that ruling.The country can't be held hostage just because of a debate involving two personalities. Kenya is greater than just a few individuals, lets take a break from the ICC debate. Lets give the suspect a rest on the issue. Give them time to make preparations for their appeal. Its high time we get to the duty of developing our nation and make it move forward.
