Dear Patrick,
It is with consternation that I write to you. On your appointment, like for every Kenyan, it was a a moment for me to cherish that you were appointed. Many Kenyans had hope that graft had finally got its match and would be fought vigorously.
It is with dismay that Kenyans watched the top graft fighter join helpless lawyers in demonstrations at the Ministry of Lands over graft. This act was an indication of your inability to fight graft and a beginning of the populism, musical chairs act and rhetorical vigor we have been subjected to over the years with regard to the fight against corruption.
Ordinarily, demonstrations are for those who have no recourse, no powers to tackle a situation or voice their concerns above din of impunity and need to be heard.
With the resources and personnel at your disposal at KACC, you do not fit this category.
When the top graft buster begins to demonstrate like any other helpless Wanjiku, we must have cause to worry about your competence to fight graft beyond words.
Meanwhile, your counterpart whose appointment also brought hope to Kenyans, Chief Justice Willy Mutanga has begun with earnest the reform of the Judiciary.
Could we still have a glimmer of hope that you are up to the job and have not been sucked into the usual game of populism and lip service?
The country is on the edge especially with regards to run away corruption and your role in providing a clear cut therapy in terms of successful investigations and prosecutions is critical.
Do not let this country down like the likes of Samuel Kivuitu, Aaron Ringera, Evan Gicheru,Benard Chunga, Harun Mwau etc, history will be very harsh on you if you allow yourself to fall in this category.
Their holding office greatly disenfranchised Kenyans as they became the very gate keepers for impunity and corruption through their deliberate inaction.
It is almost one year since your appointment and you are dangerously hurtling towards the incompetence of the above characters that has cost Kenya a big deal in terms of good governance.
Best Regards,
Otieno Sungu.
Chairman,
Vugu Vugu Mashinani.
