After listening to a week of everyone especially the Church casting aspersions on Dr Mutunga,it was a relief to find the man is a normal human being with fears,failings and a man who is brave enough to admit he is spiritually thirsty.Being a Christian myself i was disappointed to find Muslims were more accommodating of Mutunga than we were.
i actually hope i get more than Christians in heaven or wherever it is people go when they die otherwise it will be a pretty boring place . For so long Christianity has taught we are right and everyone else who believes or sees the world differently is wrong.We want to have people who believe the same way we do,dress as we do,talk like we do,understand the world like we do yet that is so impossible.If God wanted things this way am sure He would have found a way to create us all the same and saved himself the heartache of having to watch His creation bludgeon and fight each other in the name of religion.
In my opinion the Church has adopted a puritanical approach to the whole morality issue and yet it is dealing with human beings,with failings,with faults who mess up ,lapse in judgment just like everyone of us.They need to cut Mutunga some lack and let the man show us what he can do,how many people holding public office have ever uttered the word "national duty" as a reason for seeking any post even that of being President?.How many would leave the comfy NGO world for a job in public service devoid of the perks and allowances even our own Ministers only dream of?
Dr Mutunga is a man after my own heart and i wish him all the best.
