Daktari,
 
Don’t be delusional man, I mean you can’t deny the undertones of our political situation in Kenya and bury your head in the sand, are you serious? As you recall, before, during and after elections, ODM’s brass (pentagon) was keen on isolating the Gikuyus- that is fact- it reached a crescendo with the MAJIMBO crusade and was perfected by the violence itself. Unfortunately, innocent victims of Bantu tribes were the primary targets of the ill advised purges and thus the realignment, you can’t deny that PM mentioned “MADOADOA” in Kuresoi during his campaign and ethnic cleansing began afterwards even before elections were held or that Minister Najibu Balala, in broad daylight in the midst of violence and without shame or restraint told the world that “or else we will reduce them to an island like Lesotho”, referring to other Kenyans.. among many examples I mean that is on record and many of us have taken notice and rightly so; it simply will backfire, it was a very bad miscalculation. Even you guys, the so called learned fellows fueled the fires from the safety of foreign lands, saying “let’s go Rwanda style”, so what did you guys expect to result? DUH!!
 
As if that is not enough, Ruto and PM Odinga have persistently gone around calling for “unconditional release” of the youth because “they did nothing wrong” as they “were fighting for their democratic rights”; imagine that my friend. Is that supposed to be a defense of some kind? I mean it is really sad and laughable at the same time. Nowhere in our laws is murder, assault, rape, destruction of property permissible or exempt from prosecution because of political expression. Nor is spontaneous reaction of political frustration an excuse for crime, will never happen. In fact it strengthens the prosecution’s case because it provides motive, no different than if you came home and find your cows missing and decide to kill your innocent neighbor in protest, is that reasonable? Maybe you should try it and we see what happens. We know why ODM has extended an olive branch to the outlawed Mungiki, they are not fooling anyone; all they are doing is  provide cover to leverage the release of their supporters and thereby bypass the legal process, it won’t work. Victims are crying from their graves for justice and if I were these fellows, I would push for a speedy trial so the innocent can be sent home to join their families and participate in nation building, perhaps they should start a legal defense fund for them and have tough lawyers like Orengo fight for their release in the courts, that is the ONLY WAY.
