As I have said many times in this blog, this is the year of exposes. There is the sordid Nation media group sex for promotion scandal and then now it seems that this is the year when Kenyans will also get to the bottom of the Artur brothers saga. Those are just two examples amongst many but I can assure you, mambo bado.
Now it has emerged that Vice President Moody Awori seemed to have tried to influence the outcome of a murder trial involving three of his constituents. A copy of a letter he sent to a magistrate asking for an update on the trial has been unearthed and tabled in parliament.
On the surface a letter asking for an update on a case may seem innocent enough, except that when you think about it a little deeper, you will quickly realize that there is plenty of mischief in that word "update". How do you ask a magistrate who is still trying to determine a case, for an update? There are a lot of other places where one can get this kind of information on ongoing court cases, if all the VP was interested in were the details.
The magistrate in question, Busia Principal Magistrate, Walter Nyarima seems to agree with this assessment and wrote back to the VP protesting. A copy of the same letter was sent to the chief justice.
To make matters worse, Mr Nyamira was transferred shortly after his letter of protest and before concluding the case in question. He was transferred from Busia to Kericho. The whole issue has now become very explosive and has already attracted the attention of many civil groups. What is even more alarming is that Nyamira says in his letter that the VPs intervention in court cases in the area has been “frequent.”
If there is one thing the Vice President will be remembered for then it is his work amongst jailed convicts and prisoners in the country. He has almost single-handedly overhauled the entire Kenyan prison service, which has seen the most far-reaching changes and improvements in the history of the country.
Now with this latest development, Kenyans are bound to ask if there is a link between his pet project and what appears to be an attempt to influence the due process of law. Not to mention the fact that it was just last year when the Vice President weathered a major storm and resisted intense pressure to have him resign after being mentioned adversely in connection to the still unresolved Anglo Leasing scandal.

Michuki Finally Visits Mount Elgon, But Only After Lucy Kibaki Has Been There
archive
First lady Lucy Kibaki visited the clash-torn area to console victims about a week before Internal security minister John Michuki finally made it to the place.
Presidential candidate Musalia Mudavadi tried to make a joke out of it by asking what it is that Michuki feared in Mount Elgon so much that he could only gather courage to visit after the first Lady had visited the area.
But the clashes are no joking matter. Tens of thousands of Kenyans have been displaced and are effectively refugees in their own country, while scores have lost their lives.
It would appear that the President's handlers are planning to use the first lady as a key campaigner for the president's re-election and since the president himself cannot visit ordinary Kenyans to console them, it must have been felt that the next best thing would be to send First Lady Lucy herself to Mount Elgon. A colleague tells me that the reason why the president has never been seen in any slum area or with any ordinary down and out Kenyans is because he would have nothing to say to them. They don't play golf and they did not go to Makerere and telling them that the economy grew by 5.8 per cent last year may endanger the president's security in such areas where Kenyans are so desperate. I find that comment funny, but the worrying thing is that it sounds too close to the truth.
Kenyan voters are at the moment being urged to vote back the same government for another 5 year term. That decision is up to the people, but let them bear in mind that if they vote back this government that has caused rapid economic growth in the backdrop of rising poverty, desperation and insecurity, then they should prepare themselves for more of these land clashes nonsense sometime in 2011 in the run up to the 2012 general elections. I am no war monger just acrefully examine the history of land clashes since 1991 when the section 2a amendment was repelled. You will find that they ocurr right on schedule like clockwork. 1991/2, 1996/7, 2001/2 and now 2006/7. Twice may have been a coincidence and maybe even three times to really stretch it. But four times in a row!!!
