The Ocampo Six and the circus that is Kenya's political Class...

Fellow Kenyans,

Its despicable really that such an important matter as the seeking of justice for the victims of the post election violence has been reduced to a circus of 2012 presidential ambitions and the curtailment thereof. I am convinced more and more each day that although we changed the forest we forgot to change the monkeys that lived in it and now the monkeys roam free mutilating the new forest.

Its amazing that even after we now have a new constitutional dispensation with very clear guidelines on the aspirations of the Kenyan people on how they want their future determined, we do have some leaders who seem to think that Kenyans have time to forget about the development agenda of this country and focus on fund-raising for suspected criminals on matters that they are not only privately capable of financing but also fit to handle on their own. Its quite amazing that they would ask Kenyans, most of whom are hardly capable of putting food on their table, to reach into their pockets and chip in to legal fees of some extremely wealthy individuals who have made money out of cheating Kenyans out of their sovereign rights.

The two principals have again failed to uphold the constitution that they so vehemently put a case for. They instead go out in record time to offer up support to suspected criminals with blatant disregard to the import that public service must be accorded. Why would we as a country allow ourselves to have a public service ran by a man looking over his shoulders? Why should we entrust a finance docket to a man who is in desperate need of financial flows to sustain his court case at the hague and why should we let our industrialisation be dependent on a man who is fighting for a battle in innocence? This is indeed impunity of the highest regard.

My take is simple on what would amount to a concrete youth position. Fire all those mentioned who draw their pay from the Consolidated fund. Secondly, Parliament through the House Business Committee and the speaker should throw out all frivolous motions which go against common sense and public interest. Third is for the ICC to act with speed and render justice. Fourth is a stern warning to the MPs who think there's nothing else better to do with Parliament except banter on about six individuals, its time they know that they are being put on notice. At this rate they can more than be sure that they will no longer hold the title honourable except to stroke their egos on days long past. Finally its for the youth of this country to stand up and make it clear that we have had enough of this hanky panky about overdrawn politicians who keep making Kenya a documentary on their issues. We just don't care. You commit a crime you take the bite. Let Kenyans move on with nation building.
