To quote a cliché, this government has got its priorities wrong from the word go and it’s operating as though it’s on a permanent self-destruct mode thanks to the pilot!
The latest venture by Moody Awori, the Funyula MP and Anglo-Leasing actor who denied any wrongdoing when his hand was found in the cookie jar, and opted to delegate the resignation and attendant costs to his juniors, to try and intimidate a Magistrate in his backyard of Busia, to acquit a cable of thugs facing death penalty wasn’t only laughable but also smacks of arrogance that this administration is so famous for as far as their interests are under threat. Its also an indication of how an otherwise clever person can act stupid.
Its also a peek into the thoughts of the executive as far as the other arms of the government are concerned.
That the Magistrate, Mr. Walter Nyarima came out firing from all his cylinders telling Awori to keep off the case and seek information about it from the AG, shows how he values freedom to conduct his duties without executive interferences.
While we may applaud the courageous Magistrate, let us not forget that there may be other judicial officers through out the country who may have been compromised by the executive.
After seeking protection from The Chief Justice, the Magistrate was transferred to Kericho! How appropriate! This further shows that there are still elements in the Judiciary who play to the whims of the executive and re sympathetic to warped cause of the executive to silence all and sundry into submission!
What we may never know is whether Awori was trying to get back to Dr. Otwoma who happens to be a relative to the murdered women since he is eyeing the Funyula seat in the next elections.
In Awori’s case, he got served, and the public is the wiser.
Remember that, this being an election year, more bizarre things are bound to come out of the executive mindset. Our job is to watch, listen and pass the verdict.
