Ocampo Six shouldn’t run for high office

Like the many bodies of so-called criminals who are often thrown to Ngong Hills for the hyenas to feast on? Do you know these killings have been going on since the time of Jomo Kenyatta?

Although we agree that democracy is the best form of governance because it permits human rights and open discourse, democracy can also be the breeding ground for wayward extremists.

My advice to Kenyans is that we should stop supporting the Ocampo Six until we are double sure of their roles in the post-election violence.

And remember, doing nothing seems easy, but what you don’t do can hurt you.
