Oops! Real Boss Aptly Rewards Ringera

Nothing proves loyalty more than a reward.Justice Ringera is back for a second stint at the helm of KACC and his re-appointment proves credit is always given where it is due. Never mind weak-sounding arguments that Kenya does not need KACC let alone its director if the office of Omubudsman is present and strengthened to be more effective Saving KShs 2.5million a month over the next 4 years isn't the issue either

What Kenyans consistently fail to understand is that corruption can only cease to be a way of life in this country if there is a ceremonial figurehead outside the executive arm of the Government to fight it without fear or favour. Kweli asante ya punda ni mateke. Kenyans themselves are the ones who are corrupt yet when the Government sets out to fight corruption we realise they are actually fighting us and immediately begin to cry foul. Corruption is a grave matter of life and death and newly appointed KACC director Justice Ringera has had his life threatened many times in the course of patriotic duty yet ungrateful Kenyans are always complaning the war against graft is dead. How unfair and shame on Kenyans we are truly the bane of integrity

Good Preaching
Let the preaching continue; this is not just about earning a living. At the twilight of his previous tenure fighting corruption in the same office, a draconian amendment to the law was passed by this current parliament which sought to clip both his and KACCs wings. Justice Ringera would have none of it and cried foul before the press standing firm on his claim that he needed those powers to prosecute the big fish involved in big scams; without them he would only be able to harass and prosecute many small fish for smaller amounts of cash while letting off the hook people who have fleeced Kenya dry and badly deserve justice

Not many Kenyans can handle the heat of a seat upon which the mention of your name immediately invokes both admiration from a grateful public while immediately striking fear among the looters and the corrupt. Such a person can only be adequately described as a loud barker and biter in right proportions

In short, let us not be unfairly critical of Justice Ringera's renewed watchman mandate at the helm of Hell's gates-the benefit of the doubt means he may this time prove equal to the task of fighting corruption with the full weight of the Grand Coalition Government behind him. God bless him and God bless Kenya

Speaker Marende's Smart Parliamentary Coup

In one fell swoop, Speaker Marende left pretenders to the throne profusely bleeding from political humiliation. And what a masterstroke which neither of the protagonists saw coming. The gatekeepers have been disabused of their murderous venture to auction Kenya and holding her citizens hostage.

All the hubris about seeking constitutional interpretation is just that HUBRIS. Never short of valueless face-saving gimmicks, the scoundrels must be burning the midnight oil scheming to invent another source of political heat. True to SLITHERING IN BETWEEN philosophy, the mouth and backs on hire must fire from all empty cylinders lest they are speedily rendered politically irrelevant.

Speaker Marende’s ruling underscores one truism which politically faint-hearted have been afraid to accept: KENYA IS AND WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER THE BUNGLED 2007. You can chose to live in any FORTRESS OF DENIAL but the reality is all there for all with eyes to see.

No amount of legal posturing ever solved any politically-engineered problem. Marende’s intelligent ruling must have been alive to that fact as evident in his refusal to please either party. Instead he threw the ball back to them by reminding them that both the constitution and the national accord must be read as one and two documents.

Political auctioneers
With that single stroke of genius, Speaker Marende extinguished all the vents of hot feeding "the constitution is supreme" fallacy.

Speaker Marende has has done Kenya and her people proud in standing by them. He has banished the political smokescreens clothed in deceptive legal gabs. And in the meantime he has inadvertently and fatally bruised political egos of many pretenders who never cease to salivate at every loophole they curve from our tattered constitution to feather their selfish political nests.

Hail Speaker Marende for proving that amidst the political rot remains some sane Kenyans who can come to the rescue of property Kenya under siege from political auctioneers.
