Lets be Vigilant: know Your Constitution

The constitution will be my constant north those were the words of the new chief justice Willy Mutunga in one of the grilling sessions preceding his appointment. Four days after assuming office the respected human rights champion hosted two of reckoned artists gado the cartoonist and kelvin the sculptor, mission- to present a Wanjiku look like one meter in height fibre glass and bronze sculpture. As one commentary put it unlike the copy of the constitution that President Kibaki signed together with one of the pens he used are in key and lock in the office as wanjiku's eyes with her imposing figure is overlook the office space in freedom. It should be a celebratory moment for Kenyans as Wanjiku takes her rightful place in the senior most judicial office in the land as she represents a face identifiable with most Kenyans. Wanjiku mostly seen donning a basket this time appeared in the office of the president of supreme court with her usual patched up skirt this time her basket containing a copy  of the promulgated constitution.

As we usher in this new judicial dispensation, our optimism as well as our excitement are at unprecedented high. Our celebrations should not be without purpose but should coupled with caution against complacency. Although the CJ indicated Wanjiku's presence in his office will be a constant reminder of what justice should be about, we must never relent in holding our institutions accountable including the judiciary lest history will repeat itself.

Again as i always there is soo much to talk about other that sex and sexuality
