Karua reunion with Raila is not ‘fake’ but timely

Kibisu Kabatesi’s diatribe against Martha Karua in “Karua’s ‘reunion’ with Raila is underlined by fake friendship” (DN, May 23) should not go unchallenged. First off, I must state that I hold no brief for Ms Karua or the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party.

I am, however, one of the many Kenyans who get concerned when Ms Karua’s record and pioneering role in the liberation of Kenyan women is watered down for purely political reasons. To allege that she is not a woman of many firsts is, in my opinion, an attempt at altering history.
