It was not just tribalism that caused post election violence. It is social structures which discourage accountability / transparency, hinder innovation and increase frustration / alcoholism / violence. The Chief Justice can deny (on Twitter or Google+) if this is not true... In Kenya, some judges (public officers / constitutional office holders) cannot be found guilty of bigamy... as the 2010 Kenya constitution exempts them from the Bill of Rights. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-03-10/facebook-bigamy/5346058... How many of us would qualify as non prisoners, let alone as public 'corrections" officers in North America? On Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 11:04 AM, Matunda Nyanchama < mnyanchama@aganoconsulting.com> wrote:
Etinick True. Institutions remain our best bet. Yet, we can't even try post-election violence suspects, leave alone give justice to its victims. We shout ICC, focus on 6 suspects yet there many, many more that committed crimes. And we can't get a tribunal going to address this gap in the administration of justice.
Corruption runs rampant, even in the highest offices of this land; offices manned by some that pontificate justice, equity, access, etc. Yet theirs is preaching water while they drink wine.
At that rate, perhaps not even my grandchildren will enjoy the society some of us dream A strongman would accelerate the formation/realization of those institutions, i.e. provided the strongman knows what s/he is doing and where s/he is taking the country.

Hi,
Kenya had a "strongman" but Kenyans wanted a country governed by strong institutions and thus the new constitution. The transformation is still on going. Rwanda and Kenya are neighbours but we are distinctly different in many aspects so we need not cut and paste their governance. Lets have faith in our institutions.

Perhaps Kenya needs a strongman like Kagame to transform this country.
