y sister and brother live in Kenya. I have been happily married to Prof Athena Mutua since 1986. From 2002, she has taught law at SUNY Buffalo Law School where I also teach. Athena is from Baltimore, Maryland. We have three sons; Lumumba (23), Amani (22) and Mwalimu (21) who are in college in the United States and two daughters; Mueni, who is a lawyer in Dar es Salaam and Jueria Abdul, an aspiring journalist in Mombasa. Both are married

I have never been charged with perjury in my life. The local daily that reported that defamatory story got it from a disgruntled employee whom I let go for incompetence. I stepped down as Dean after seven years of a most successful tenure. I will remain in the school as SUNY Distinguished Professor and the Floyd H. & Hilda Hurst Faculty Scholar.

The withdrawal of the ICC case against Mr Kenyatta is most unfortunate. It is a sad day for the victims. But we should be clear about one thing. The withdrawal of the case doesn't mean Mr Kenyatta is innocent. It simply means the Kenya Government has refused to provide the information required by the ICC. What is even more terrible is that witnesses 'have been disappeared', bribed and killed. Someone, I don't know who – has sabotaged the case. But the charges could be reinstated if additional evidence is found.

I believe Uhuru Kenyatta's gender is male. That's why I address him as Mr Kenyatta. I don't call him Uhuru or Kenyatta, but Mr Kenyatta, which is what proper educated protocol requires. I have never disputed that the IEBC declared Mr Kenyatta President of the Republic of Kenya, a declaration that was affirmed by the Supreme Court. In that sense, Mr Kenyatta was declared by those two bodies the de jure and de facto the President of the Republic of Kenya. I publicly stated and tweeted after those declarations that "As a matter of freedom of conscience and thought, I can't accept Uhuru Kenyatta as President of Kenya. I can't and I won't." My views haven't changed, and won't change. That's because I believe the election was compromised and not free or fair.

The question of my recognising Mr Kenyatta as President doesn't arise. There's no constitutional predicate that requires a citizen to bow down to Mr Kenyatta just because the IEBC and the Supreme Court declared him the validly elected President. That's the opinion of those institutions, with which I disagree with all due respect to them. Citizens must obey their conscience and my conscience tells me that the election was so flawed that I would be untruthful to my self and abusive to my conscience, if I was to refer to Uhuru Kenyatta by any other salutation except Mr Kenyatta.

He argued – like pedestrian homophobes elsewhere – that homosexuality “violates our religious and cultural views.”

Hes more guts than he has brains. He knows how we do. He still expects to get the seat. Yet he says his incompetence led him to resign from his previous post. Id love to watch the dressdown at his hinterview.

Hope I understood you...anyway in terms of academic papers Makau has the best papers by far no one even comes close...but for now the Judiciary needs a career Judge and like I said before Kihara is the best guy for the job....Msagha comes next.
