It’s Tuesday, October 27 in Kenya.
A few points to keep in mind about this whole thing, but first a few questions.
Why is Maina Njenga able to attract so many youths to give him fundamental support? What is it that makes him be able to do this, and yet he is not healing the sick or making the blind see? How is he able to explain his newly acquired riches albeit his ordinary Kenyan status? What is his political influence now and in the run up to and after 2007 election? Is Maina Njenga in the Waki envelope? Why was he released and why now? Does it matter that Maina Njenga is now saved, and was his salvation the reason for acquittal? Finally, what is the X in the above equation?
These are hard questions that can only be answered in a Tribunal or The Hague. Wako has failed and so has Gicheru. Kibaki tried by killing Mungiki without justice but has he now made peace with Mungiki by proxy. Now reliable intelligence is indicating that powerful politicians paid protection money to Maina Njenga, and they are in fact unable to stop doing it, even in the face of pending unresolved PEV cases that smell of Mungiki.
Now Maina Njenga is out of jail, a free and saved man. But is he really? How safe is he? Is the government offering Maina Njenga protection literally and metaphorically by paying him to stay saved and silent? Or in addition to claiming salvation, will he be diagnosed with Amnesia as a side effect of jail time served?
Can the Kenyan media direct, examine and cross examine Maina Njenga under oath?
The snail may try, but it cannot cast away it’s shell. Someday however, the commoner will discover that only salt, not money, not power, and certainly not what people do for fear of losing power, that can get the snail out of it’s shell. Only then, shall the truth lay bear. The question is how long will it take? Until then, impunity will reigh supreme.
