Dear all,
I hope you are all keeping well. What will you are doing at 9.45 pm tonight?
Justice Johann Kriegler of the Kenya’s Independent Review Commission will be on NTV’s ‘On the Spot’ tonight at 9.45 pm, where I can predict he will be holding forth about what he thinks the mandate of IREC is, how useless Kenya’s academia, civil society and the public is, and how it is impossible for him to meet his commission’s terms of reference (TOR) in finding out what happened to our vote.
In communication terms, he will be preparing the ground for the kind of report he will hand in next week to President Kibaki. If he plans a cover-up, this will be the pretest launch (and I do not suspect otherwise).
I am of the opinion that if you love this country, as a citizens or friend of Kenya, this is an opportunity for civic vigilance and a chance to test Kriegler commission’s accountability to taxpayer not to Mr. Kibaki and Mr. Raila. I am therefore appealing to all of you to act directly and activate your networks by calling in to hold Justice Kriegler to account, send email right now to NTV (newsdesk@nation.co.ke) and also sending SMS at 945pm tonight and generally creating such a din that IREC will have no choice but to deliver on its TORs.
Even if you do not want to watch the entire program, get hold of the SMS question and send in your response. The numbers on our side should be sufficient to make the statement we need to. Please forward this message to your networks.
In the setting agenda for our leaders,
George Nyongesa
