LET'S FACE IT:
Kenyans, I am certain know that however masterly one is in the brewing business, he can never brew alcohol and on the same day gulp it down to his satisfaction.
It's mind boggling how the Jubilee government's swift, proud and landmark response to positive criticism is by rounding up some few independent-minded bloggers, line them up in court, accuse them with flimsy charges like "misuse of communication gadgets", claim that the accused have no case to answer then finally free them unconditionally.
If this is not what I normally refer to as mapera+githeri+busaa Smelling Fart on the Face of Democracy, then I have no better way of describing/referring to it.
#Flashback:
The Reason why some of us find it impossible to stomach these unfolding and seemingly unending abuse of our hard-earned constitutional rights is because the little History we know of the Hitler's regime sends chills down our black spines.
You see, before the famous Holocaust in Germany, Hitler's strategy was to silence all the Media and Eliminate any Critic of his 'Progress'. In fact, this Hitler fellow had a Minister who was Entirely in charge of Media and propaganda! Imagine that?
After some few years, almost 6,000,000 (though many think the number is lower than the real one) Jews had been brutally Massacred by the Ruthless Hitler Regime.Remember the Post-election Violence? Approximately 1,300 lives were lost and you can see the magnitude with which the unfortunate thing was handled - including the sending to Netherlands of some 6 Heads (Now 2 remaining) there.
This happened notwithstanding the fact that by then we were at the elm of enjoying Mass Media freedoms as well as Rights to be heard.
#Now:
I see people running here and there saying this and that in defence of this regime's handling of sensitive issues like Insecurity and Corruption. That's their opinion and they are entitled to it.I often ask myself: "Do these people really know that Alcohol is not brewed and Drank on the same day?"I mean the Tyranny that these Govt. is trying to Entrench cannot be established in One Day; It has to be a Dynamic Process.
That's when you will Call out the Names of those who Courageously fought for these Freedom but they won't hear you 'cause they will be rotting in Lonely Prisons or they will be Dead anyway.
So you just continue sidelining yourself there and not looking for solutions to our ailing society. I am sure you will remember this day one day.That day when Killers will knock at your door, Repeatedly rape your Daughters, Wife and Mother then Kill them as you watch before you meet your Brutal Death.
...And it is on this day when you will Know that there's a BIG difference between 'our' previous PEV (Post-election Violence) and the 'impending' PMFV (Post-Media Freedoms Violence)...1,300 is so small a number to be compared to 6,000,000, isn't it?
