What Justice Aaron Ringera Has To Do With The Rising Crime Wave In Kenya

KACC's Boss Under siege

"When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, the hearts of the
people are filled with schemes to do wrong.

Shortly before former ethics boss John Githongo announced to he world that he had fled from Kenya for fear of his life over what came to be known as the Anglo- Leecing scndal (some prefer to call it Anglo- fleecing), he landed at Heathrow and announced to his companion that he was getting off for a brief private visit.

The pair had been flying around Western capitals on official duty at the expense of the Kenyan tax-payer, and that was probably one of the things that had really gotten into Githongo. The fact that he and his companion were involved in an exercise in futility. Appointed to fight corruption by a government that was not interested in fighting the vice. Nay, one that wanted to use the vice to establish itself in power and hopefully remain there for as long as possible.

The name of Githongo's companion on that last flight of his as an employee of the Kenyan government, was Justice Aaron Ringera. Then as now he was heading the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission, a selective anti corruption watch dog that always s carefully selects who to prosecute, usually ending up with minnows while the real fat cats go stock free. It is instructive that one of the people appearing before the commission this morning on suspicion of corruption is the Kenya National Human Rights chairman Maina Kiai.

One thing is very clear about the current administration and that is the fact that it is not in the least interested in fighting corruption. President Kibaki is on record for assuring and reassuring all and sundry that his government was serious about fighting corruption. But what he has said and what his government has continued to do are two very distinct opposites.

For instance what has the KACC done in its' two years of existence? That is apart from being a huge drain on resources and tax payer's money.

This morning ODM Kenya have for once organized a demonstration that is in the interests of the Kenyan people. Their mission is to force Aaron Ringera out of office. Narc-K has dared ODM to carry through their objective of mobilizing crowds to eject Justice Ringera from office, so now its' show time.

But even as we wait to see what happens next, it is important to consider the fact that the government, both this one and especially the previous one, have completely failed to link the prolonged delay in prosecuting corruption cases and the rising crime wave.

Look carefully into the eyes of criminals and accused persons in Kenya these days and you will see something that should alarm every peace-loving Kenyan. The only regret I see in their eyes is regret at getting caught. It is said openly on the streets of Nairobi that the only people in jail are fools and those who did not have enough money to "argue their case." That is to bribe their way out. Mostly the prisons are full of innocent people, it is said. The real criminals are all out there and you read about them in the media all the time.

It is all explained very well in a book I call the manufacturer's handbook, because I believe it was inspired by the manufacturer of the human race Himself. There is a passage in the book of Ecclesiastes that says;

"When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, the hearts of the
people are filled with schemes to do wrong.
