siendi na sitoki ng'o.kwani mtadooo????????

another old fool making a fool of himself and fooling other people, these fools!!

The old geezer lacks everyone's confidence and should quit rather than slug it out in court. He must understand TJRC and execution of its mandate are larger than him and his questionable tainted past.

But let's probe deeper.
Why are we directing our angst and ire at the old man? How did he end up there in the first place?
Fact: he didn't choose himself, some people did! Some civil society heavies/public officials who are now loudly calling for his removal did!
The govt. advertised for the position, he applied and was successfully chosen! For some in the interview panel to now come round and say he's not fit is sheer hypocrisy and incompetence.

So he is merely a symptom of a larger malaise - betrayal of public trust by public officials/ civil society. Those who chose him - why didn't they deploy all the NSIS, historical, etc resources to do a proper and thorough due diligence background on him to ascertain his suitability for the Head of TJRC? Why dont we vet the Heads of institutions? We are having this acrimony coz some pips slept on their jobs, period.
These people, this flawed selection process and maybe even certain aspects of the TJRC Act itself were fundamentally flawed, that saw him elevated to the position is what we should be directing our anger and attention at.
And this betrayal has precedents: Like when the Cabinet decided to go forward with Mau evictions and all the ministers agreed, only for some of this same ministers the next day to come out and say they disagree with the govt decision they helped reach! Why didn't they raise their concern, their objection, their disapproval before, at the most opportune time!?
This is the hypocrisy & incompetence we should be saying no to.
It is the selction panel that should be defending its chocie of Kiplagat, not himself really!

On the positive side its a reminder that you are guilty by association - if you dont like what your govt, company, chama,etc are doing quit so that any adverse reactions to their decisions/ activities does not haunt you much later in life.

....as has already been obersved elsewhere its due to lack of his social acceptability that he should leave.

...yet I empathise and I feel he did the right thing. Once he is cleared (if), then he can resign but not now Kip, stay put!!!!!

@Digitek you're right, who stands to benefitr the most when the TJRC commission falls is the answer. All the politicians are mentioned in so many reports and it will be a cold day in hell before they allow for a commission which can actually work.
