Passaris was having none of it as she said that even the most celebrated brains in Kenya did not see the court as an option.

When one of our most celebrated lawyers does not see our courts as an option for justice it speaks volumes about our institutional failures.

She went further to tell Kerry that he should have been man enough and retract the blanket nod that he gave to the election process.

You have the US State Machinery and intelligence to investigate and be man enough to retract your blanket nod on the Kenyan elections.

Sad state of affairs for a country with so much potential. We have the best brains but our greed is insatiable & our integrity diminishing.
