Bottomline: kifaki must ngo... (I did my part & did not vote for kifaki or his spineless sidekick ka-loser)

Greedy when others are fearful,Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase WB

Agreed,ringera must go. What about his deputies....??

'A stone is heavy,and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.' (Proverbs 27:3).

Three things are in issue here and the problem is that they are being conflated so as to confuse matters:

1.Is the re-appointment illegal?
2.Has Ringera performed?
3.Ringera's remuneration

On the first issue,it is abundantly clear that there is nothing illegal with the re-appointment. Under the Anti-Corruption ... Act,it is only the initial appointment that requires parlimentary approval. Those shouting loudest on this point should read the letter of the law first.

On the issue of perfomance,it is obvious that the hindrance to the work of KACA is the fact that it has no prosecutorial powers. Wako is sitting on various files on which the KACA has recommended prosecutions. In those instances where prosecutions have been commenced they are all bogged down before the judiciary. Public perception of corruption levels in the country is not a sufficient criteria for assessing Ringera's performance.

On the issue of the 2.5 million salary - this should be reduced and the head of KACA ought to receive no more than the Chief Justice,the AG or other equivalent offices.

We may say as much as we wish about Ringera and team. These are the fruits of our freedom,just freshly available to us for the last 7yrs. We are free to hate Ringera cos he earns more than anyone can ever dream off.

Lets get the facts right:

1. Ringera did not award himself the huge salary,neither was it decided by the president. The MPigs and the advisory board should have made the appropriate legal reviews for the entire salaries for graft team (including their own) salaries;

2 Ringera has done his work as required by his call of duty,to investigate and recommend prosecution. THATS ALL! The MPigs have been arguing that he hasn't prosecuted anyone,yet IT'S NOT HIS DUTY TO PROSECUTE. Many investigation files are still lying at the AG's office,yet no one is mentioning Wako in the whole issue.

3. MK did re-appoint Ringera and team legally. Continuation of contracts does not call for fresh interviews bla bla bla. The advisory counsel observed this hence their change of tune. In any case,ODM was fronting for Billow Okerrow (?) hence their disappointment when MK acted first.

4. Anyone appointed to the same position with the same laws in place will not prosecute anyone. The MPigs should amend the law empowering Ringera team to investigate and prosecute,then hold them accountable based on successful prosecutions

5. A salaries commission,under Treasury,should be established to determine and review salaries and allowances for all person paid from the public coffers (MPigs included)

We may dislike Ringera and team with passion,based on their tribes,party allegiances,salary levels,etc,but let facts be facts!!!

@extrablessed
your points hit the nail right on the head! that is what i call persuasive and reasoned argument.

Tribalism means that Kenyans have come to see almost everything from a tribal perspective regardless of facts

- Ask people to leave the Mau - The Kalenjin feel that they are been targeted and want a go slow. Meanwhile irreparable damage is being done to the environment
- Kibaki makes a stupid decision & people complain - GEMA people almost instinctively stand by him because they feel the opposition is trying to undermine their man. Meanwhile there is no real action going on against the culture of corruption and ravaging of state resources. The country continues to get milked dry
- A politician is caught in a scandal - he hides behind his 'community' and complains their people are being targeted
- Your tribal man is caught in a scandal,you are okay with looking away and letting him get away with it

Doesn't this country have a soul or a conscience? What does Kenya stand for anyway?
It's getting clear that tribalism and corruption go hand in hand.

@extrablessed; very accurate description of facts. Let us always base our arguements on facts.

@mv ufanisi; I dare infrom you that we do not have tribalism as a problem in Kenya. The cause of all our problems is INTERESTS period.

@all,please be very careful with the media in Kenya. It serves interests only not kenyans.

Jaheim,your arguments are thin on facts and logic. To believe that Kibaki the person is the ultimate problem would suggest that somebody else will be the solution even without institutional reform. I would be surprised if anybody in this day and age still buys that argument.

@Jaheim: Is kibaki the reason we are having global warming?

Life is worth living cos God planned it to be so.

@ guka,

ring era means unless you have been floored or knocked out,there is no jumping out of the ring!!! you see ringera stirs the fish but does not bother with them.

@ sheep,

ringera is smarter...ringera cast his net wide,catches lots of them,but returns them back into the water,parks his net and and paddles his boat back to the shores.

on the other hand githongo cast his net caught lots of fish,returned them to the water begining with the small ones and the big ones kept them in the boat....until one time he caught a giant squid which bit his neck and the boat capsized during the struggle to free his neck releasing the fish into the water...the squid never left githongo's neck until he swarm onto the shows and the squid let go...githongo ran home and never went back fishing...
