OPINION
If there is a time that Kenyans needed to be told the truth, its now. Unfortunately they are so fear-ridden and intellectually blind that they can no longer face the truth.
As King Ahab refused to listen to the truth of Prophet Micaiah, leading to his death in war, Kenyans have become allergic to truth. By rejecting truth, Kenyans have lost their way and need an outsider to save them.
For God to send Koffi Annan back to Kenya, He must have noticed the country is in serious trouble. But Kenyans will not listen to him. This time, however, Koffi Annan's salvation to Kenyans is announced in the form of a plea to seriously ponder upon consequences of electing as president, persons who have cases in The Hague, a taboo subject in Kalenjin and Kikuyu lands that few will dare address.
But Koffi Annan did not make his plea to Ruto or Uhuru. It was to Kenyan voters and courts. Though Koffi Annan did not direct his plea to Uhuru and Ruto, they were first to admonish Annan, asking him to leave Kenyans alone to elect their leaders without any interference from outside.
To admonish Koffi Annan when he asked Kenyans to ponder upon consequences of their actions can only mean Uhuru and Ruto want one of them elected but without public scrutiny.
Even if Ruto and Uhuru say it is illegitimate for Koffi Annan to advise Kenyans, the book of Judges, chapter 19 to 21 suggests otherwise.
For instance, Koffi Annan was severely criticised for refusing to use UN forces to end genocide in Rwanda. And Second World War was fought to stop Adolf Hitler killing millions of Jews.
As for the book of Judges, it narrates how in Israel, one old man traveling with his wife through the village of Gibea, was given shelter on his way home.
At night, however, some evil young men sexually assaulted his wife to death. The old man then cut up the dead wife into 12 pieces, each of which he took to every tribe of Israel that he blamed for his tragedy.
When leaders of 11 tribes of Israel learnt of this, they demanded punishment for guilty parties whom the leadership of the tribe of Benjamin sheltered.
Consequently the 11 tribes raised an army of 400,000 to do battle with the tribe of Benjamin. Ultimately, the army of the 11 tribes annihilated that of the Benjamin tribe together with its fugitives.
