Democracy is alive in Kenya

Dear Editor,

Democracy is alive and strong in Kenya with the Chief Justice rejecting the challenge to the recent election results and upholding the declaration of William Ruto as president-elect. Raila Odinga lost the election and must take his ‘licks like a man’ (borrowing that famous phrase). The Court was harsh against lawyers presenting ‘misleading or fabricated evidence’ which proved to be ‘hot air’ and sent the court on a ‘wild goose chase’ (BBC September 5). Sounds familiar…as in a report on another election the wild claims were similarly rebuked and rejected as a ‘fishing expedition’. Kenya has won!

Sincerely,

Shamshun Mohamed
