I have watched Dr Gikonyo under cross examination and what struck me is that some men reach an age where intimidation stops working on them.
There is a certain calmness that comes from having seen governments come and go, presidents rise and fall, ministers behave like small gods, and public storms disappear after a few weeks. You could see a man who was not auditioning for approval from the room, the lawyers, the cameras or the political crowd outside.
That is what made it interesting. Kenya is full of people who tremble the moment power enters the room. They start calculating what to say, who might be offended, which side is watching and how tomorrow’s headlines may read. Dr Gikonyo looked like someone who has outlived that fear.
At some point in life, the most dangerous person in any room is not the loudest one. It is the old man who no longer needs anything from anyone.

Nobody has ever simplified our Constitution like this. At this rate, just admit me to Kenya School of Law I already know the preamble by heart and can argue Article 43 like a pro. #KatibaAt15
