Kibaki kua serious

June 12, 2006 in Kenya, Politics by Mentalacrobatics | 5 comments

Come on Kibaki kua serious. Why do you suspend a police corporal and a police sergeant who were stationed at JKIA when even your own Commissioner of Police does not trust his senior officers?

What are junior police officers meant to do when the main perpetrators had papers giving them the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police? You even suspended a security warden? A warden? What was a warden to do against two men who publicly refused to record statements with the Commissioner of Police? The buck stops with you and by extension your cabinet. Cabinet Ministers including John Michuki, the Internal Security Minister, publicly defended the “Armenians” in parliament. How about you start sacking some of them? The only person of note in the 10 suspensions announced by statehouse was CID boss Joseph Kamau who was responsible for the illegal raid on the East African Standard and should have been sacked many months ago.

Aside: It is interesting that all these statements are coming directly from Statehouse and not through the Office of Public Communications where such statements had come from in the past. Has Dr Mutua been left out of the loop or has he come to see just how impossible his situation is?

@magaidi - I do feel a little bit of the deja vu. But i also sense something different. Divisions in the cabinet, Kiabki more conerned about his reputation that the country, ministers beefing in public. The press asking the right questions. they can not keep doing this. esp since now they are messing around with the police and start new centres of power. I get the sense they have bitten off more than they can chew.

@JKE - that was one powerful editorial. Whomever thought the raid on the EA Standard would shut it p miscalculated big time.

@Nakeel - hiayaa you tagged me? your post doesnt have my link! the link is broken!
