Baraza may just become the first casualty of the end of the era of impunity in Kenya.

Perhaps the era or ‘Big Man’ is over. But lets hold our breath. Baraza has been accused, and a ‘grand jury’ in the auspices of JSC has indicted her. She is suspected of having misbehaved. She has not yet been charged with any criminality. Keriako Tobiko has not confirmed that she should be prosecuted. On their part, the grand jury comprising of the JSC members have recommended that she be suspended and tried.
Only next week or so, ICC is also coming up with a decision. If any of the Ocampo Six are indicted through confirmation buy the grand jury also called the pre-trial chamber, they too must be suspended. No Government official should continue to work while the trial is going on. Even Sang should be suspended from Kass FM if he still works there. Otherwise, it will make the Baraza case look worse than Lynching. Why? Look, she is accused of misbehavior, not crimes against humanity.
Lastly, here is my take on the court ruling on the election date.
I think the judges are either morons or are under the influence of certain politicians, or certain politicians drugs. Why? Look, we all know that the Principles in this coalition government have brought us where we are because of refusal to accept certain decisions or their own indecision. We gave this case to our celebrated Chief Justice, and he passed this very important decision to a junior court. The Junior court was give a case to make a determination on 3 questions. 1. Should the election date be in August as is explicitly written in the constitution? Should it be in December before the anniversary of the previous election? Or is it in January after the end of the 10th Parliament. As learned as these folks are, they did not pick one specific date. In fact, they have created a national disaccord about the date of our next elections.
Yet in memory of all who have lost their lives in pursuit of a harmonious Kenya, we the commoners must just sit on our fingers, until these folks decide for us yet again. Or else, we can liberate ourselves buy performing a civilian take over, like it has been done in many other places. Your guess is right. The former is the better option.

I am Joram Ragem.
You are not.
The last time I checked KASS FM was a privately owned Media House and thus not funded by taxpayers money. In any case if Sang did use studio facilities to broadcast inciting messages how come NSIS and CCK have not hauled him to court. And how come Kass Media’s owner Joshua Chepkwony has not recorded any statement with the Police nearly 5 years after the PEV?

Who is really fooling who? We all know the Principals responsible for the mayhem and in Martin Luther King’s quote of Amos 5:24, soon, Justice Will Roll Down Like Waters and Righteousness Like a Mighty Stream, and no amount of Omena or Githeri serving will get the criminals fat enough to stop the Juggernaut of Justice. It shall be a Dies Horribilis like no other this century!
