An open letter to President Kenyatta on his utterances

Dear President, I have been listening to the political rhetoric in Kenya but little did I know that our president, who spoke the word “God” more than his worthy competitors during and after the August 8 elections, could turn back and maul the very institution that upheld his election in 2013. I want to address the following issues:

• 1.       Rule of law. The moment the Head of State casts aspersions on a judicial verdict, especially where he is portrayed as the loser, we get rattled. The President is seen as the symbol of order, national morality and unity.

Mr President, your political friends will send you to political oblivion before your time. You have failed the nation with your scathing attack on the Supreme Court judges by calling them “wakora”. On this ground Sir, you owe the nation an apology.
