During the vetting of Dr Willy Mutunga,,,it is the ODM which stood
by him and openly,,supported him as the right man to become the
next CJ.
The PNU side had the feelings that,,Kenya's NGO's and opposition
were bringing in Mutunga,,so as to be of help,,,when needed.
I remember,, i in Mashada,,,switching side and supporting Willy
Mutunga with the ODM members,,at that time.
The only sin,,CJ Mutunga,,commited and became a devil to ODM,
is when he did not rule the presidential case,,in favor of them.
There was apprehension,,on the side of Jubilee,,,,during that presidential
case in the supreme court,,,that Mutunga would help Raila Odinga,,
ascend to power.
It has been known,,that Mutunga and Raila had a kind of friendship,,,
for even before the general elections,,Mutunga would always appear in
Raila's many functions.
So it was a forgone conclusion,,,to many,,that,,Mutunga being a Mkamba,
from the same tribe as the former VP mr Kalonzo,,one of the pricipal in CORD,,
and also a friend to Raila Odinga,,men who had shared cells during detention,,,
he,,then Mutunga was going to help Raila Odinga..
This kind of talk was all over,,in all Kikuyu vernacular radio stations and so,
in offices,,markets and the street.
There is a woman,,who like coming to me,,looking for my opinion whenever
there is a big political issue in Kenya,,and so she came and told me,,,,,,,
'we are all finished,,,' meaning,,,the side of the jubilee,, ' if it is Mutunga
who is going to make the ruling'.
'Look,,he is a mkamba and the best friend to Raila Odinga'.
She could not believe what i was telling her.
That,,Willy Mutunga was a person,,beyond tribalism and friendship.
I said to her,,that Mutunga would follow the law and make the right
decision and i told her that Uhuru Kenyatta was still going to be sworn in.
Until now,,no one in the CORD,,,,almost four, five months,,,how Raila won
and Mutunga overruled,,it.
If,,,really,,,Raila had won,,,,and some one stole it from him,,,then,,the 2007
chaos would have been,,a child play,,,,he could not accept anything less
than the state house,,no matter what the diplomats said.
But he had to tell a true story,,to his poor supporters,,,that,,,,,
"you know that i'm unbwogable,,and that nobody can defeat me,,,so,,,
Jubilee stole it from me,,,through Mutunga"
And so,,,poor Willy Mutunga changed,,withing seconds,,,from a saint
into the greatest devil,,,ever living. for no one can take it from Raila Odinga.
The next day,,we saw Raila Odinga at state house,,,paying this bad Uhuru
Kenyatta,,,a visit.
So,,,,be very careful when looking things in Kenya,,,,,the snake you many
are pointing at,,may not be a snake,,,,,,,the angel you see may be,, the worst
,,,,bin Laden around.
So,,kaa Landa.
