Thats when njustice will be served.
Othaura falls squarely in this category.
Please stick to the facts. There has never been such a ceremony in Kenya - ever!!
perhaps you are referring to the one conducted at about 5pm...7 hours BEFORE midnight!
Why are you stopping them?...it was once considered a 'late afternoon swearing in' ceremony, it slowly moved up the ladder and became a 'night swearing in' ceremony and now its already a 'midnight swearing in'. if they proceed like this it will be an 'early bird' swearing in ceremony next year and a midday swearing in ceremony by 2013. by 2015 it will have reverted back to the late afternoon swearing in ceremony it once was.
Ama Impunity wanted to say that it was midnight somewhere on the globe (perhaps china)
The old constitution did not stipulate at what time the president should be sworn in.
Am not sure if the current one does.
Allow me to digress....
