In 1988, Haji had a motorist arrested and charged for refusing to give him a lift.
Last week, Haji was on the spot for blocking journalists from covering the Wednesday meeting between the Senate Defence and National Security Committee and Interior CS Fred Matiang’i.
Garissa Senator Yusuf Haji is probably a good man at heart; but, like many administrators from his era, he is also the kind used to holding power and wielding it.
Consider this: In 1988, Haji had a motorist arrested and charged for refusing to give him a lift, even though there is no law in Kenya requiring people to give lifts to government officials. The man, Peter Makau, had asked Haji, then a provincial commissioner, to “go and find a government vehicle”.
