Soon after the 2013 Supreme Court judgement arrogantly @OleItumbi and @moseskuria_MP confronted us to rub in their victory. We hardly knew these scabs at the time. @Gladwellotieno calmly told them "You will need us in future". This is that future.

3/ Human rights are supposed to be a pillar of the @UN system. They should not be considered an out-of-bounds “political” issue for staff. The UN should embrace staff using their free time to #StandUpForRights. Retweet if you support ending the ban on @UN staff protests.

2/ It seems @UN is conflating the right to protest & racial equality w/ political partisanship. This is a grotesque & dangerous distortion. If you take the approach to its logical end, any human rights issue could be off limits because it annoys states or their politicians.

Prof. #YashPalGhai is a selfless great Kenyan. A teacher, a mentor and a consistent human rights defender. Patron and supporter of social justice centres. Everyone in 5+ hrs of speeches has described him as a humble,man of integrity. His legacy is secure! He shall be remembered.
CJ @WMutunga visited the freedom fighters monument,place was so dirty his teacher Prof. Yash Ghai started cleaning.

"All the praise you gave me, you should have given to my wife, Jill. She has been absolutely supportive and I wouldn't have succeeded without her." - #YashPalGhai. It's past midnight and we are still here. Yash is speaking and sharing the journey that gave us a new constitution.
