PARLIAMENT: Power must be checked

With Kimunya finally resigning the deafening din on the Grand Regency saga might finally tone down.

However without appearing like I am defending the beleaguered man, we must address the fact that Parliament can actually hound an innocent man. By the time the NO CONFIDENCE MOTION was passed, there were no facts before the house to warrant the action. That Kimunya has no true friends in that house came out clearly in that debate with no one ready to stick out their necks out for him.

Absolute power, regardless of the institution wielding it, is dangerous and those currently celebrating parliament action may have to contend with this sooner or later.

However, one positive thing from this drama is that, as Kenyans we can rest assured that any theft of our assets from whichever quarter shall increasingly get difficult especially if two antagonistic political sides like our Grand coalition Government continue to govern side by side
