On which I side are you on?
The ongoing debate whether the nominated CJ Dr. Willy Mutunga should be allowed to take over or not will clearly divide the nation apart.
During the referendum vote on the proposed new constitution, the nation was once again put in this scenario of one group supporting it and the other rejecting it.
Like any other man on earth, we as beings are not perfect and we all have our shortcomings. There is great suspicion that Dr. Mutunga will not be able to deliver because of the morality issues that is attached to his studs and that the clergy are not comfortable with him as the chair of Judiciary an arm of the government.
A leader has to be one who can change the mood of their team or organization. With the credentials that Dr. Mutunga posses no doubt he merited for that office and a change is worth important than just maintaining status quo.
The hiring process has to be borne in mind of how transparent manner it was, hence it was a credible decision and choice made by the Judicial Service Commission.
For one who has been in the system is very hard to trust that he/she will bring any meaningful changes to the office once appointed but having an outsider with a grasp of what is expected will make him/her work hard to see that he leaves a good legacy one that is admired by the generations to come.
The clergy’s perception of Dr. Mutunga is one who has lost moral credibility to be the next CJ who is a threat and will bring down the moral standards of our nation. There should be an atmosphere of tolerance to avoid the religious and reforms war that has plagued Kenya for a long time. The clergy and any other group that is opposed to the nomination should be tolerant to Dr. Mutunga and give him a chance through the support that he needs from them.
Dr. Mutunga’s activism and fight for human rights record has the ability to engender a more general mood of true and realistic reforms in our judicial system that we all desire. A feeling that now justice shall be administered fairly to all.
Changing the mood in cases like this is a very tough job, but it can be done. The Judicial Service Commission has set the pace and a standard which has to be emulated by other Commissions and bodies considering to hire public servants.
