During a recent visit to the United States, former ethics PS, John Githongo, stated the obvious when he said that he thought President Kibaki was made aware in advance of the raid on the Standard group (Standard newspapers and KTN).
The Kibaki administration itself announced this when they insisted that the raid on the Standard group was an issue of national security. The question is who handles national security? In every country in the world it is the highest authority in the land and this is mainly due to the sensitivity of the issues at hand.
Government officials could have of course been telling a lie (white or otherwise) when they gave Kenyans this national security story which many have found difficult to believe. However it is the view of this blogger that nothing else makes sense and there is a very high probability that this is the truth behind the whole Standard raid saga. This means that the buck stops at one place and one place alone and that’s at a certain address along State House Road, Nairobi where the highest authority in the land resides.
