I saw the new police boy, Boinett, swear that that he is your godsend when it comes to fighting crime.
Here is a real crime in real time. A murder most foul, a body most mistreated. And where is Boinet to have his baptism of fire1?
No, the family of the victim are showing their confidence in him by TURNING TO AFRICAN WISDOM! --beans and beads and goatskins to save the day! (remember what happened to the Police Lab money!)
NB: Do not laugh, folks, about turning to African wisdom. My father once took me to such, because his new boat refused its new name. when it was put to sea, however hard the oarsmen worked, the boat whirled round and headed to shore. It was a bit like trying to drag a cat against its will. So we went to the diviner.
He solved the riddle. We had named the boat COCACOLA, after a famous soft-drink. No boat worth its pride was going to go sail with such clownish name. Never. Either a new name or the bottom of the lake next trial around. After a hefty sacrifice, the ancestors sent us a new name in a dream. After a new -renaming-- ceremony, the boat took off even before the first push-paddle. And the boat became a legendary runner.
''African wisdom''! you wont hear me belittling nor trashing it like my learned freind Otishotish!

What a pity Meshak Yebei -or whoever the unidentified body belonged to--- was not a lawyer. www.nation.co.ke/news/Lawyers-fault-colleague-for-representing-suspects/-/1056/3279966/-/phjl6nz/-/index.html MOTIVE for this pathological deed by the police? NB: The likes of Sheikh Rogo, Jacob Juma ---and the list is very long if one bothers to visit the Human Rights Watch Kenya log, can be slayed gangland style, and there is no moral crisis about it in the nation. Terrorists (and may be witnesses whose testimonies could jeopardise the careers of high-fliers) are fair game for CIA-like Blacksites procedures or death squad operations. But a Kenyan lawyer! You mess with a lawyer the whose system grinds to a halt. The police spokesman Owino who was threatening to arrest Raila the other day is reduced to a plaything for demonstrating lawyers; Nkaissery is the first to promise to protect the demonstrating lawyers like they were Barrack Obama and family in Nairobi; Ndegwa Muhoro looses his tigritude and is a subdued creature fumbling answers in court. And the justice system come to a halt as the lawyers converge on one case. Even the most cynical of acerbic commentators fails to ask if these are the same learned friends who have given the Kenyan Judiciary the reputation of a den of rot. Here is from Ireland: A distraught truck driver bursts upon a praying father. He wants to confess immediately. 'Can't you see I am praying? What is it son, that can not wait?' 'I have cause an accident. I think I ran over Mr. Glibtongue!' 'That would be the local barrister, son?' 'Yes, father!' 'Relax. God does not take anger at those who kill lawyers!'I once heard a very famous statement: 'If the law can protect the lowest scumbug, then it will protects us all!' So if we are selective in Kenya --if it is Yebei or Yusuf, who cares; if its some Mungiki turncoat, who cares; if it is some Nobody, who cares
. then the problem wont go away. A two tier justice system should be fought. And murder most foul is not only totally reprehensible when it visits a member of the learned friends fraternity. And who be it, who would bother to find out?
