I have noted that every time ODM Kenya is under fire, Githongo through his paid Media House the “Standard Newspaper” goes wild with these allegations of corruption. This round, ODM was not satisfied with the legal responsibility of the President Kibaki and instead of facing the President through civilized and honorable way – they unleash their “pitbull” Githongo. It is unfortunate that a man who was trusted with State secrets thorugh an oath of office can hide his face in a foreign country and tarnish the name of his country – Kenya. How clean in Mr. Githongo? How much has ODM Kenya paid him? Can they come clean and tell the Kenyan the truth about how much they have paid the Standard Newspaper to cover their stories everytime? Githongo has been promised a big post if ODM wins the elections.
Therefore he has to play his game by trying to tarnish the government’s image!!

Yaani you can find any better research to do and pull our legs.Thats your view and it remains exactly that yours.

Since independence Kenya has been ruled by thieves. Kenyatta stole not only land but had the audacity to mastermind a chain of bank robberies Kenya has never experienced…yet he routinely ordered trucks full of bank-notes from the CBK to State House. By the time he relinguished power through an act of God, he was the richest man in Africa, the largest land-owner in Africa… name it. We won’t get anywhere unless we address the injustices from 63 onwards. Everyone knows Kibaki is a thief. Why shouldn’t he steal when all his predecessors stole?

I want to imagine that most the participants in this forum work out of the country. How many of us pay their taxes as the law says you should? Just what difference is there between stealing before the money is paid in to KRA or before?

Are we proud to call ourselves Kenyans? Shame on us. I suggest we resign!

Corruption is a vice. Done in statehouse or in the roadside. Let he who has no sin cast the first stone. This doesnot mean I support corruption. My challenge to us all is if you were in the position of the mentioned, what would you have done. Am sure some people are blameless since they cannot access the “pot” otherwise they are more or less the same. Githongo Kudos for the whisle!

So we nearly all concur! Githongo is our hero.

Githongo for president come 2007! No this is not a suggestion. I think the man is infact obliged to run!

It is nice for all of us to make a furore about this but when challeged to offer alternative leadership … Oh well Im not the political type. I can not work in the public domain!

If you cannot or do not want to serve the public, dont talk about those who are ready to loose their privacy, to have to entertain villagers and the press and God knows who else daily!

I am challeging Githongo and the rest of you bloggers and the media to do what Bisige is doing in Uganda!

Kudos to our true Kenyan compatriot who has the rare courage and outstanding honesty. With such people, our country would be assured of peace, harmony and prosperity.

We request our leaders, led by the President and the clergy. Most of them are dishonest and need to change.

Long live people of goodwill.

This exit is another conspiracy to defeat kenyan masses,to silence them.these gus (including the president) must have met and strategised who to resign first-check the reaction-if situation not changig-have a few other guys resigning-and the strategy goes on
