There are disguised religious fanatics in all spheres of our society. The antics of Justice Gicheru still shock me. I wonder how many people suffered under his strict religious fanaticism.
While at it, I have heard a lot said about Gicheru having planned to write a damning report about the Ouko Inquiry. It is all garbage. Gicheru like most judges of the day was a KANU and Moi man in skin and blood. The truth is completely unrelated. Here it is:
The man who supervised the killing of Ouko was Special Branch Boss Timothy Maloba. He was mostly loyal to Oyugi. He was the boss in Kisumu. He is the one who was bugging the phones, rooms, cars etc and knew that the team had the goods on Oyugi. Oyugi and Maloba then manufactured the lies fed to Moi about Gicheru planning to name Moi. The Commission was killed.
