Lok at it this way, if given this job yourself, with a team of office mates or neighbours or in a matatu or a bar or wherever, just five (5) of you. Wouldent you have come up with a perfect recomendation, observation, analysis, proposal and that other technical jaggon gibberish….. would’t you? YES you would have, and a better one as a matter of fact. But truth is, they see us to be stupid, which I guess we are.

Wake up, smell the coffee or lemi say smell the rat in them politicians.

I hope that the names will NOT be leaked; that will undermine the potency of the safeguard that the Waki team have commendably built into the mechansim. We know our local political culture: once the names are known, bandied about and discussed ad nauseum in public, we will all quietly forget the matter which will by theh have been stripped of the momentum that the Waki mechanism has built into it.

Also, if the names are not revealed at this stage, we can watch and see what the Government does with the report; once the names are leaked, the Government will find it easier t o do nothing and thus be less accountable as the matter will get procedureally murkier, with claims that the potential defendants have been prejudiced by being named in advance of any charges etc etc.

The Waki report is also a test for the Kenayn public and Kenayan activists; do we have the staying power to keep the pressure up? Or, will we, as often, be sidetracked onto the next scandal?
