Four questions for the Cabinet team

• Waki is a competent Judge. But has it occurred to you that he could be wrong?

This is a letter to the Cabinet. Greetings and good health to the 43 of you.

I will go straight to the point: there are warmongers amongst you. Some are on the Waki List, others are not. But I am not worried by those on the Waki List.

The gods have a way of dealing with such thugs through disease, and related calamities. My problem is with the ‘‘holy Joes’’ within your ranks: those calling for the uncritical implementation of the Waki Report.

These, in my view, are the real warmongers. They might not bear arms, or supply poisoned arrows to the youths. But their ignorance and non-reflective ways poison the country little by little.

And this type of leaders, who think with their mouths open, is more dangerous than the arrow-carrying type.

NOW I MUST ASK YOU FOUR questions.

One, has it occurred to you that Justice Waki could be wrong? Yes, the man is a competent judge, but we have seen judges like him conduct incompetent investigations.

Take Justice Aaron Ringera for instance. In 2003, he told us in a similar report that he had discovered major corruption in the judiciary. He proceeded to generate a ‘‘Ringera List’’ of 23 judges to be investigated and fixed.

Justice Waki was on this ‘‘list of shame’’ and was disgraced for a while. But, as it turned out to be, Justice Ringera was wrong on this account.

As the Cabinet, therefore, you must interrogate the Waki Report before you crucify your colleagues. It is possible that the man is wrong!

My second question regards the Waki List. Last time I checked, the 43 of you made up government. If this has not changed, how come the Waki List was handed over to a foreigner and not to you?

You were the appointing authority, the investigation happened in Kenya, and you funded its operations.

HOW COME THE LIST WAS GIVEN to someone else? In my view, this was a breach of ‘‘contract’’ on the part of Justice Waki and his colleagues.

Or was it? Maybe the good judge was telling you this: you might not be on the list, but you are all suspects of sorts as Cabinet!

And this is why he preferred to hand over the list to a ‘‘reliable’’ foreigner than to you.
