“INTERIOR ACTING CS Fred Matiangi bans anti-IEBC demos in central business districts of Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu; cites Public Order Act” (NationBreakingNews, 12.10.2017).
I do not know if someone can teach CS Fred Matiang’i the rights of the citizens too peacefully demonstrate. That the people have the rights to run to the streets and show civil disobedience to the rule of law and state. It is as if someone hit him with rock and the bump on his head is made of pure perfection. Suddenly, he is acting more and more like his predecessor Joseph Nkaissery, who also tried to silence the opposition and the National Super Alliance (NASA), through their OKOA and reform demonstrations. Clearly, he is trying to pull of the same sort of scheme today. It is like a relic from the past resurface as a magic bean hits the dirt and grows into a giant tree. Matiang’i thinks he drops wisdom, but he drops nonsense instead.
In the 2010 Constitution of Kenya, Chapter 4 Bill of Rights, Part 2 Rights and Fundamental Freedoms Article 37 states this: “Every person has the right, peaceably and unarmed, to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to public authorities” (Kenyan Constitution 2010). So as long as NASA petition to demonstrate in Mombasa, Central Business District of Nairobi and in Kisumu. It is within their rights and it is just behavior to do so.
I do not know if CS Matiang’i understand that every person means that his father, his brother and his nephew can run the streets in demonstrations, even his mother, his sister and his cousin. I know that is hard to muster for this man, but as long as they send in petitions and notify the authorities in due time about their planned demonstrations, it should be allowed. What sort of misbehavior does this man live by? What sort of thing did the previous Anti-IEBC demonstrations do to you? If you were Ezra Chiloba or Wafula Chebukati, I would understand if the slogans and the demonstrations would hurt your feelings. However, Matiang’i you are not them. You are yourself and you do not understand what you do.
Alas, you are just a useful tool for Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto, which is why you took over so quickly after the sudden death of Nkaissery. It is not like have forgotten that part of your legacy. The body was not even in the casket before you were sworn-in as acting CS. Clearly, you want to repay your debt for the position they have given you. With using your power to trying to silence the men and woman who do not believe in a credible election under the IEBC and the current administration.
Why should they, when even you cannot muster to follow the provisions of the Constitutions. How dare you insult the citizens who are bleeding and silenced by your regime. What sort of imagination do you have? Do you think this will make it better, only make the Police more brutal and more innocent lives get lost! So you can be in power with your fellow crooked politicians and laugh of the publics misery. Get real and get lost. This sort of foolery is only eaten up by fools, please, by the grace of God! Study the Constitution that you are supposed to abide by and stop the nonsense.
CS Matiang’i you know better, I am sure you do! Peace.
