Raila Odinga has written about Martha Karua during the 2007 election crisis in Kenya, “People had tampered with the results and it was not acceptable … We had not finished our conversation when Justice minister, Martha Karua, walked in looking very emotional. She said roughly that ‘we need to conclude this exercise.’

“I watched in amazement as Kivuitu (the chairman of the Electoral Commission) changed completely. Whereas he had been friendly with us, he now looked like a dog facing a leopard. As soon as I saw this, I knew our fate was sealed.”
