No doubt, that the departure of this doyen of opposition politics has left a significant gap that will be difficult to fill. My deepest condolences go to Mama Ida, the children, and the entire Odinga family. May the Lord grant you special grace and comfort in your loss.

He was a most disruptive factor in times of national complacency, yet a tactical stabiliser in times of turmoil. In my engagements, I found in him a man with the courage of a lion and the humility of a sheep – a tough mind and a tender heart - in pursuit of national interest.

Tribute to Hon Raila Odinga
Every once in a while, there arises a man who recalibrates and transforms the trajectory of history. In Kenya, Hon. Raila was such a man - making perhaps the most significant impact in Kenya's recent history.

MALINDI COURT ALLOWS DPP TO WITHDRAW THE ONGOING KES.8.5 B UTALII COLLEGE GRAFT CASE AGAINST FORMER TOURISM CS NAJIB BALALA, HIS PS AND 14 OTHERS Malindi Chief Anti-Corruption Magistrate Hon. James Mwaniki has, today, allowed the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to withdraw the ongoing Kes. 8.5 billion corruption case facing former Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Tourism Mr. Najib Mohammed Balala and his Principal Secretary Ms. Leah Adda Gwiyo. EACC opposed the DPP’s bid to withdraw the case, which is against public interest and a drawback in the fight against corruption. The Anti-Corruption Magistrate declined to admit an Affidavit by the EACC Investigator opposing the withdrawal. In his ruling, the Magistrate termed the ground cited by DPP in seeking the withdrawal as shallow and that it was not sufficiently demonstrated to the Court why it would be difficult for the case to continue. The Court, however, discharged the accused persons and ruled that any future decision to charge them afresh on the same facts would be an abuse of the court process. EX-CS Balala and his co-accused were arrested by EACC on 22nd December, 2023 and charged over alleged procurement fraud and theft of public funds in the construction of the Coast Branch of the Kenya Utalii College (renamed Ronald Ngala Utalii College) in Kilifi County. The arrest and arraignment came after the DPP, upon independent review of the file, concurred with EACC that there was sufficient evidence to charge the suspects with the following offences: i) Willful failure to comply with the laws relating to procurement contrary to Section 45(2)(b) as read with 48(1) of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act No. 3 of 2003. ii) Unlawful acquisition of Public Property contrary to Section 45(1)(a) as read with 48(1) of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003. iii) Abuse of office Contrary to Section 46, as read with Section 48(1), of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act No. 3 of 2003. The Commission’s investigations established that the Cabinet approved the construction of Utalii College in Vipingo at a cost of Kes. 1.95 billion but the project cost was later inflated by Ministry Officials to Kes. 10.4 Billion against the approved cost. Investigations further established that the accused persons facilitated irregular payment of Kes. 8.5 Billion by the Ministry of Tourism, out of which Kes.4 billion was fraudulently paid to Baseline Architects Limited for consultancy services in the construction of the college. In a meeting of the Management Board of Ronald Ngala Utalii College attended by the Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala and Principal Secretary Leah Gwiyo, the Board dismissed construction designs and plans done by the Ministry of Public Works and resolved to engage private consultants namely Baseline Consortium to develop new designs and supervise the main contractor, at an exaggerated cost of Kes.4 billion. The unfortunate withdraw of this case by the DPP came on the day the matter was scheduled for a mention to fix a hearing date.

Have just come across these words of Solomon:
Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen. Do not be quick with your mouth. Do not be hasty to utter anything before God. God is in heaven, and you are on earth, so let your words be few. Eccl 5:1-2

Sad how death knocks at the wrong door and takes precious people. General Ogola was a selfless gentleman who served his nation with great distinction and professionalism. That I was to meet him next week has underscored to me the untimeliness of death. Special grace to the family
