Some Kenyans are against Koffi Anan, the former UNO Secretary General, acting as a mediator in their political issues, accusing him of being more of a meddler than a mediator.
In some cases, a warring party at a seemingly disadvantageous position may accuse the mediator as being a meddler, and its rival may respect the same mediator as being a saviour!
There are mediators everywhere… in businesses, politics and even in family disputes of common people, doing their best to resolve disagreements and finding amicable solutions to problems.
