Extend vetting to Civil Service, Parliament

The vetting of judges that culminated in Court of Appeal judges being jettisoned for various reasons is another feather in Kenya’s cap. That judgments made during the previous regime have boomeranged on the practitioners means aggrieved parties can now appeal to reverse rulings wrongly passed. The Goldenberg case that mentioned PNU leader George Saitoti means he should kiss his presidential ambition goodbye and look for something else to do.

In reforms, Kenya is way ahead of the pack. That reminds me of the war of independence. Kenyans took up arms to chase the British before other nations thought of it at least south of the Sahara. We, therefore, must thank ourselves for the continued spirit of reform. It will take long before the job is finally done.
