Citizen Mwangi: A tale of an activist apparently turned revolutionary!

“DCI DETECTIVES arrest Boniface Mwangi in Nairobi; police accuse activist of organising a revolution against the Jubilee government” (Nation Breaking News, 06.05.2019).

I didn’t know this, Boniface Mwangi might do a lot of things, he might ask a lot of questions and asks a lot of the authorities. He even tries to get people involved in their civic duties and their rights. He might even be brash about it, direct and say it like it is. Sometimes, people have wondered if he has done this as his hustle. However, he seems like a fighter, not for publicity, but for the causes. Even if he has no direct movement behind him or built around him. Which is weird, in the sense, that a man who is a direct threat to the state, doesn’t have a massive grassroots’ organization to beat the system with.

That is why this day is amazing, as he is charged with organizing a revolution. This is not a joke, this is a serious charge, which the Chief Inspector of Police George Muchiri have charged him with and arrested him for today. Therefore, his own livelihood and life as an activist is on hold. They are claiming he wanted to start a revolution that might cause a civil unrest against the Jubilee government.

This is really bloody brilliant, at the time of the Handshake with the fellow “opposition” parties, which has organized the biggest demonstrations to date of late. The ones whose has the OKOA demos and the other rallies Post Fresh Presidential Elections. Still, the ones organizing them is walking free and about, even assigned public official posts. While, Mwangi has just lingered on the internet and also had speech assignments elsewhere. Even taken a recent trip to Zimbabwe, but not caused havoc.

Why are they doing it now? His articles and speaking engagements has been known for long. His Ukweli Party is known and his Pawa254. Still, none of them is powerful or strong. If a man wants to fight corruption and demonstrate against it is a crime. Then, the President and his cronies should watch out, as they are supposed to have a life-style audit and a war-on-corruption. Alas, that is not happening, because we know they will not fight themselves.

What is unique is arresting the on a likelihood of a possible protest or demonstrations, which will cause civic unrest. If someone should be punished for that in rest memory is Raila Odinga and his CORD/NASA who has really sparked civic unrest in the Republic. Alas, his not an activist, but a high ranking official and a man of grace. Therefore, he will not be touched.

Now, three hours after the news was breaking, there now footage of his release from the Central Police Station. As this news was trending, because it is ridiculous to arrest someone, on a charge on something they haven’t committed or done. They are doing it on the basis, that he might spark civil unrest, but the Police by doing this pre-emptive arrests might clinch in the fire to actually pull-it off. Therefore, this what it is called to say, that something might back-fire.

In this case, this shows what sort of legal society, the Kenyan Republic is at this moment. They are suspecting people of actively engaging in activity to topple the government by a revolution. If the authorities or the regime itself isn’t afraid of the public and their opinion. They wouldn’t arrest someone on this lousy goosy basis as it did today. Because, this is just reckless. The hours of arrest and possible intimidation isn’t a winning tactic. Instead of asking the man, why he does what he does, they put him behind bars. That is just mere insult and another injury to someone whose just trying to do his civic duty. To ask the powers to be, that they can be transparent, just and honest. Which they are not, since they are arresting someone, someone they apparently suggest that he has the amplifier to start a revolution. That is really something else.

How blatant and weak is the government, when they arrest someone on suspicions like this? How idiotic and how much do they disregard the civic duty of all citizens, to ensure the checks and balances of government?

Well, this is just stupid and shows how little faith the Jubilee government has in its population. When even a mere activist can be taken into custody without producing evidence nor justifiable means for his arrest. They might be able to trace his TED talks and talks of demonstrations against the mere scale of grand corruption. But don’t anticipate that to spark a revolution, than John Githongo should have been able a long time ago on the same matter. Peace.

Opinion: DP Ruto’s shameless attempt of self-defense!

I do not believe that corruption can stop a leader from delivering in Kenya” – Deputy President William Ruto on Citizen TV Kenya on NewsNight on the 9th March 2019

We know that DP Ruto has the ability to lie, deceive and play for the audiences. What he did today isn’t new, but just an extension of his career in the spotlight and as Deputy to the President, which has been for a while now.

This was a spin of his narratives, where wasn’t challenged and allowed to play it out. The ones naive would eat it all up. The ones who see his ways are shocked how acts out. The ones that are suffering is the people. Who has this man as their leader and Second in Command.

DP Ruto are clearly showing no remorse for his wealth, for his accumulated assets or his land-grabbing ways. Neither the lack of real effort to develop, or use the prospects of state to actually serve the population. He is just defending the ways of looting and eating, while being in office.

The Kenyan people should be worried, that this man can do this and say what he did on National TV. That he could go out with blazing guns and claim what he do. Without any security, without any fact-check nor care of proof.

He is just showing his disregard for the people he is supposed to serve. That he thinks they will eat this and accept this. This is taking the public for granted, while looting, stealing and thieving the public coffers. That he thinks is cool. Apparently, even corrupt behaviour cannot stop development, did he learn that from Andrew Mwenda?

However, this is far from the last, we will hear or see of the DP. He will linger around, there will be more scandals as long as his in office. It is just a matter of time, where either him or some of his allies are caught in whirlwind of graft and fraud. That is just court filing away, whoever dare to sue or allege a set-of crimes done.

You cross every river when you get there. For now I am happy to serve as the DP. When that time comes, the Jubilee Party will make that decision” – DP Ruto on NewsNight 9th April 2019

Cry me river, cry havoc. Don’t give him the ability to cross the river and become the Commander-in-Chief. If he is this cunning now? How will he be in the highest office? He will be relentless and misuse the office even more.

He has learned from KANU, he has learned from ODM and using his steps in the Jubilee. If he gains even more, he will finds ways to overstep and adapt again. That is just the way he is.

Don’t eat his words. Don’t accept them. Challenge them. Because, he will challenge you, and it will not be a fair fight. Since, he will rig it to fit his narrative to ensure that he wins, no matter what. Peace.

Opinion: DP Ruto is a barefaced liar!

Deputy President William Ruto seems to be the kind that lives on his lies. He continues to make them up for his own benefit. Just like the other day, he claimed there was no one dying of starvation in Turkana. Today, on this Sunday, he claimed there was no place in Kenya, there was an earthquake.

However, it is stated by serious agencies and outfits, world-wide as such, which follows earthquakes, that there was one today in Taita Taveta, at the magnitude of 4.8. Even so, the Deputy President are still claiming this was fake news and made to hurt him personally.

The only thing hurting him personally, his pride and his office. Is his lies, his deceptions and his lack of moral backbone. He has no problem to cheat, steal and blame anyone else for doing. This man has no trouble to spin, play around the bush or even create another enemy. Than, look into himself and his own cronies. To see, that its his own making and his own actions, that has gotten him here.

Not, that the Deputy President created the earthquake today, no, he didn’t and he wouldn’t been able to stir the pot of UNGA enough even, to make it thick enough. However, the DP is trying to deflect and become a victim. When, the public of several towns are and when other people felt the quake today. That is what is insane.

That the DP, whose not long ago claimed there was no hurt, no deaths as a result of famine and drought. Is now claiming there was no earthquake. What will this man, say or do to stay in power?

Well, eventually everything. He will do and say whatever it takes to stay in office. This man got no scruples, no heart or no confidence in humanity. Other, than his own career and his own assets. Clearly, that is why he acts this irrational. Acts which is beyond ordinary comprehension.

At least his boss, the President is a one-track Pony who ones in while comes with warnings of fighting corruption and taking down his cronies, when we all know that will never happen. Unless, God strikes with anger and fury, maybe even spill every gallon Brookside Milk into the streets. Just to prove, that his playful words isn’t any fun anymore. Because, the President has said and come with similar to often to make it seem feasible, to ever happen.

Alas, I am not talking about the President, but his deputy, which has overstepped again. A man who has no heart for other things than his own BIG, GIGANTIC EGO. A man of such stature, that he got nor quarrel stirring the pot, but blaming the stove for heating it up. That is the man, that is second in command at the moment, Even if CS Fred Matiang’i got a special place in the heart and mind of the President.

However, this earthquake, just proves again, what the DP Ruto will do. What DP Ruto will say. If people still kneel and believe his words. You got it coming for you. If you believe or even thinks for a second, that his statements are justified. You got it coming for you. You will be hurt, you will be played and most likely, be on the failing end or the losing end. Because, that is what he got for you, since you was stupid enough believing in him in the first place. He got you and he knows it. Therefore, he can plant whatever message he wants in your head. Instead, of actually seeing it for your own self.

What is the sad part, DP Ruto is not alone. There is plenty in the cabinet and in the Parliament that is just like him. Nevertheless, he is the symbol of these actions and closest to King. That is why his words matter more. Peace.
