                                    HAS JUSTICE BEEN DONE?
Her life on earth must come to an end tomorrow Saturday, the 28th February 2015. Some will call it fate, others destiny but, who really knew that one comrade would leave on this day. I imagine the great pain of her family members, her friends and all the students of Moi University. I imagine the tears of sadness that will strike our hearts as they lower her body down to earth and say rest in peace dear Charity Muthoni Maina.
As we follow all these events, the main question in my mind is; where is justice? Whoever was involved in this has not been revealed yet or any significant efforts made to identify him, her or them. Even when the police themselves came and took her away with a seeming great desire to find the culprit or culprits.
I do not want to blame anybody concerning this issue but, i strongly believe that in the interest of respect for life, it is very prudent to identify whoever was involved. I do not want to mention the fact that the same risk might still be there because no body has been called to accountability.
Does it mean that there are no consequences to acts of rape and murder? That, anybody can be raped and killed and life continues. This is not the kind of life we want! It not only degrades life but also the University.
Let us consider the facts right, life is precious. no body has a right to take the life of anyone even in Campus.
This leads us to yet other important questions; who should be responsible for the security of students in Moi University? What has he or she done concerning the death of Charity?
I only hope that her death will be investigated. She deserves justice. But, if she will not find it on earth, then i beg her dear soul to rest and leave it for God.
To her family, i send my deepest condolences.
Worry not for God knows.
Have faith.
May the Lord bless us all.
AMEN
