The Judiciary and the police have once more been brought to public scrutiny.
Mr. Moses Washika and his wife, Rinah Washika were arrestedly shortly after their 5 daughters were found killed on 18th December 2005.
They have been in remand for the last 4 years until the courts set them free for luck of evidence recently. And our sympathies alone cannot reconcile the waste years behind bars.
How many Kenyans suffer such? And what happens to the police officers who arrested them without gathering enough evidence before the arrests were made? What happens to the Judicial officer who sat on the case for all those 4 years?
Many Kenyans are victims of such incompetence from the Police and at the Judiciary. They are arrested on flimsy charges, kept in remand homes for as long at takes without intervention from the Judiciary, and such are the cases that should compel the public to insist on the Police and Judiciary being placed on performance contracts.
Such accountability will make one who is offended to seek redress and counter sue the officers for wrongful arrests. It will minimize cases of witch hunt and incompetence. We have officers who arrest innocent Kenyans just to settle scores. They lock you in for as long as it takes because they know that by the time you are set free by the courts for luck of evidence, your time shall have been wasted and you will then have come down to zero.
Kenyans need to become assertive and demand that Judicial Officers and the Police are held accountable in a manner that indicates output on a daily basis.

Odhis, you are right. Only Kenya’s citizens must rise up and speak out against the Judiciary and the Police, as well as all other areas of bad governance. There will be no externally driven Judicial or Police Reforms that will give us better governance. These Ahab-Jezebel characters will just metamorphose and hijack the new forms of service delivery and manipulate it to their advantage, just as they have done all along.
Consider the pathetic case of the magistrates and lawyers handling family disputes. How many are truly fairly and objectively determined? The church or temple of God resides in our selves (Spirit/Soul) and through us in the family structures that God established to govern the world, his creation. Then the families form the larger Church and nation states. It follows that if you dismantle and disorganise the family, then there will be no true church of Christ that is obedient to his commands.
What justice is there to little children if you separate their parents for good instead of trying to reconcile them? Women magistrates/judges and Ahabite male ones who award outrageous maintenance figures in our children’s courts even to unfit mothers on the flimsy (and scientifically unproven) claim that children are best left with their mothers are truly trained agents of Satan. If the Law says parental responsibility and rights are equally shared (though Divine Law imposes an orderly organised structure headed by the male), then which law are these FIDA activists applying when they extract shylocks pound of flesh from men? One female judge once told a man in court that she was CHANGING THE LAW as the Children’s Act could not accord them their evil desires!
Wanainchi please wake up. The devil is going to destroy all of you if you don’t reclaim your honoured position in God’s Kingdom by repenting and doing what is right before him. Husbands take care of your families. Women be submissive to your husbands. Children, obey and honour your parents and certainly don’t poke your nose into their affairs unless it goes against the Word of God.
There is no honour or joy in singlehood. It is wrong to bring children into this world when you have no intention or cannot provide a family environment for them. If you don’t want marriage then stay childless or adopt orphans and abandoned children, for you will be serving God.
The demonic voices that populate our myriad FM stations loudly propagating promiscuity and infidelity must be exorcised from amongst us in the same way that lice and jiggers must be removed from our bodies for us to enjoy sleep.
