What an irony! Yesterday you were being hunted for crimes against humanity by the neigbours, today a big bash is prepared for you by the same people whose children, wives and husbands you are accused of having murdered, raped and evicted to nowhere. They line for you along the road just to have a glimpse of this great fellow who could wipe hundreds at one blow. They are full of cheers in tears, you are their HERO not because you have made a serious invention to build humanity but because the have no monopoly of suspicion over you, it is international it is global. As these people cheer, you dance and jump imagining their cheers and tears have taken you guilt away! It never happens so, at some point it will catch with you and your generation. The men of the cloth may come and pretend prayers over you but unless they ask you to repent it is all a waist of time. They are but false prophets telling you just what your ears would want to hear!
Ther is this thing with the TRUTH, it does not die. Not even huge crowds of friends and vulnerable mortals could bury it. It keeps lifting its beautiful head. TRUTH is never intimidated by large crowds, eloquent speeches or loneliness. TRUTH is courageous to stand alone. One does not need a lawyer for it, it does not need to defend itself though it is always in constant trial.
I refuse to be a HERO for being a suspect of crime of whatever magnitude. Ask yourself what kind of a HERO you are...
THE TRUTH will surely catch up with you Mr. HERO of crime.

Kibaki Please come!
I must now say that we face a grim situation come 2012 after the elections. Against this gloomy forcasting is a President, watching with a throb and blood thirst for another round of senseless killings. I say this without fear of contradiction.
Let me digress, President Kibaki is the one under whose watch elections were botched, precipitating mayhem, even thus, as President at that time, he watched as tribes set upon one another and maimed, raped, killed and burnt. If he was not sitting on his haunches as butcheringwas going on in The Rift Valley and the retaliatory attacks in Naivasha, he was tacit tly approving thorugh acts oc ommission the butchery of Kenyans by security apparatus.
Let us take the current scenario, as political temperatures rise, as politicians ran around raising tribal and ethnic hatred, The President, the only man with the mandate to protect lives and property, the one who took and oath to protect every Kenyans from any form of aggression, the one to whom all security apparatus report, the one who gets intelligence briefs every other week, seems to be oblivious of the looming chaos that every Kenyan feels in every corner of our county which even the pre trial judge chambers at the ICC have warned about.
It is dismaying and very disconcerting that a President under whose watch hundreds died, many more displaced and several thousands still living in camps can be gravely unconcerned with the turn of events is a vindication that the political class works for interests of fellow lords of impunity. How can one explain the efforts put towards protecting the Ocampo 6, the hundreds of millions sunk into shuttle diplomacy, the rumours that the public is picking the bill for the lavishness accorded the Hague 6 while we have never seen such aggressive campaigns to resettle, one and for all, the IDP issue?
How one earth can such a government be so naive as to hinge peaceful co-existance between two formerly antagonistic yet populous tribes of Kenya on new found friendship of two suspects of crimes against humanity without any further effort towards truth, justice and true reconciliation? Has this resolved the land problems in the Rift Valley? I doubt. What will happen when the two are not political players anymore? Is the Kibaki regime aware that these two may just fall out when Ocampo begins openning up evidence the two political camps gave against each other?
It is very sad indeed, that Kenya has such an impevious old man for President when his peers under similar circumstances, such as Mandela, led their nations out of years of upheaval back to sanity.
Kibaki has squandered every single chance fate has bestowed on him to unite Kenya, starting with the 2002 elections, the 2005 Constitutional Referendum, the 2007 elections and is busy squandering the goodwill that Kenyans bestowed upon him to lead the 2nd Republic after the promulgation of the new Katiba just last year.
If age is wisdom, then we need to redefine wisdom in the context of such calous old leaders.
It is time Kenyans came out strongly to reclaim our country from this abuse and diasbuse the political class of the nortion that we can continually fight tribal wars on their behalf and for their benefit.
