Me personally i think its all a govt ploy to release the man for political reasons.salvation may just be a cover up unfortunately.My reason is this,how many prisoners on deathrow or with illegal possesion of arms are known to have refused to recieve salvation?How come is is the only one out of the thousands released by the govt on grounds that he is a changed man?
My second suspicion is that his other accomplice Ndunge Waruinge was apparently also released on same grounds but we quickly saw how he was used by the same govt in the elections,he even threatened that he would backslide and teach Raila a lesson.
All in all am just human and therefore i can only speculate,but am comforted in that i know with certainity that God scans the heart deeply and it is him who rests with authority to forgive.

God's will is to save life not to lose them but because of the free will factor we have to play our part too.Otherwise we are al reduced to some zombies or robots.Although God is always ready and willing to forgive us, He requires two things of us as conditions of forgiveness: repentance and forgiveness of others.If you just say "sorry" but habour grudges in your heart which are ofcourse not concealed from God you don't qualify for forgiveness.Scheming to sin so that you can be forgiven is also out of the question.Thats why paul asked,"shall we sin so that grace may abound?""What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness."
