For over a decade, I have not held an elected office. Yet my commitment to justice, constitutionalism, and the rights of Kenyans has never wavered. I did not enter public life in search of status or privilege. I entered it to serve and that purpose remains unchanged. The struggle...

This evening I joined Sky News to reflect on the life and public service of Ann Widdecombe. Ann was a true political heavyweight - never to be ignored and always to be respected and valued. A formidable parliamentarian, she was a lady of deep conviction, unwavering principle and steadfast Christian faith. For me, however, her greatest qualities were revealed not in Westminster, but in the darkest period of my life. During Operation Midland, when I was falsely accused of being a serial child-murdering paedophile, I publicly described the investigation as a “homosexual witch-hunt”. I was forced to declare: “I am a homosexual. I am not a murderer. I am not a paedophile.” At a time when many turned their backs on me - including people I considered friends - Ann chose to dive in and stick her head above the parapet to support me publicly, privately and practically. She was always at the end of a telephone or an email whenever I needed her, despite the personal and political cost of doing so. Her support did not end there. In 2023, she joined the demonstration outside New Scotland Yard to mark Falsely Accused Day, standing alongside those whose lives had been devastated by false allegations and miscarriages of justice. She understood that defending the presumption of innocence and due process does not diminish genuine victims - it strengthens the rule of law on which justice depends. Ann showed compassion when it mattered most. She stood with those others preferred to ignore because her principles demanded it, not because it was easy. That courage, integrity and commitment to justice are among the qualities for which she will rightly be remembered. Thank you, Ann. Your friendship, loyalty and kindness will never be forgotten. My sincere condolences go to her family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
