I know I will shot-out of the gates and say that Paul Kagame, who won with 98,66 % in the Presidential Election in August 2017. Didn’t really win by that margin and have that sort of support. For some this might be controversial, others saying I’m hater. I will take that any part of the day and close my eyes in content. Kagame didn’t win by that margin and he didn’t have that massive support.
For the simple reason, ever since the election he has had to silence Diana Rwigara and her family. Latest stint was in Court this week. She has been arrested on unknown locations and been taken away from home. Why is Kagame so afraid of Rwigara? Well, he is afraid of being questioned and having real opposition. That is because Kagame does whatever he can to have none. The ones who has been is either in exile, detained or gotten the arrested for treason against the state. That means they don’t have loyalty to Kagame or his almighty Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF).
If the President was a legitimate executive and head of state, he wouldn’t have cared about the candidacy of Rwigara. She wouldn’t have the party-organization or even the structure to compete. It would be like Jill Steins Campaign in 2016 in the United States. She would be a part of the race, but all the eyes would be on Clinton and Trump. It’s not like Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda has a size, neither independent Phillippe Mpayimana. If the playing-field between the candidates was fair, they would have gained more popularity, but they are just needed props into the sham of an election.
That Forces Democratiques Unifiees (FDU-Inkingi) is not involved and other parties are not in the elections. Proves my point, that the mere sacrifice of Kagame to run again. Is mere a sham and his own rule is not on popularity, but on fear and oppression. If he was democratic he wouldn’t fear Rwigara and throw phony charges her way. He wouldn’t make a mockery of her family and associates. But he has too, because his popularity isn’t as soaring as he tries to make believe.
President Kagame, don’t have stomach or the bravery to play fair, because he came with the guns and will be like many before him. Only leave by the gun. He is like Rwandan answer to Museveni. If you have real competition, they either end in exile or they are treasonous against the state. Just ask the Ugandan opposition about their toils and intimidation.
Rwigara case is proof that Kagame don’t have the popularity he subscribes. He don’t, if he did he would never step beneath his office and done this to his citizens. But he has too, because he don’t have their support. The only way he keeps the system intact is to spread fear and intimidation. That is why he is charging and shaming Rwigara for opposing him. Peace.







That the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has mailed prominent Kenyan bloggers for a meeting at the Windsor Golf Hotel, the mail titled: ‘Re: IEBC & Bloggers/Influencers Engagement Forum’, which was happening today at the Hotel. Shows the disregard of the public and revealing spectrum of lacking transparency from the IEBC.
You know the whole arrangement in this climate and with the record of accomplishment the IEBC have, that the whole words of: “The Commission wishes to engage with you on how to increase public confidence and participation in the forthcoming elections slated for 26th October 2017. Your participation is highly appreciated”. When the IEBC wants to secure public confidence before the elections and trying to pamper critical voices, you know the set-up already.
The bloggers invited does not follow the standard media protocol; neither follow the easily manufactured stories benefiting the elites and their will. They publish what they like and reveal exactly what they find from their own perspective. They have no stakeholders or no one doing their checks and balances. The Media houses and broadcasters has to follow standards and be controlled by the state to get license, but a blogger can publish as he or she pleases without asking anyone. That is why the IEBC contacts them and know their pivotal role in public discourse.
Many of these blogger would have written different stories if the state provided them with facts and actual actions that differs from what we are seeing today. The bloggers could not be so critical of the IEBC, if the IEBC complied with the provisions and the electoral laws, applied to the Constitution and actually cared about transparent about it. If the IEBC actually cared about the general state of elections and actually delivered on the necessary requirements of their vital role. Instead, they are trying to deflect and polish their reputation.
These bloggers should not be caught sipping the cocktails and juice with the IEBC; they should be looking into the newest revelations and documents of their planned behavior. Reveal the matters to the public and show that it is more of the same. The IEBC is acting as it did in August 2017. There are no changes before the fresh elections and the second standoff between Kenyatta and Odinga. Just more of the same. The tragedy unfolding before our eyes and the IEBC hopes we hold our eyes shut. Therefore, we do not see and close our ears, so we cannot listen.
Tabitha Mutemi, are surely acting in good faith as the Manager of the IEBC Corporate Affairs, who sent out this invitation and e-mail. Surely directed by the IEBC Secretariat, who wants to sway the bloggers to write post that is more festive and tweets. Instead, they should know that signal IEBC is sending is that they want to silence or muffle the bloggers into their sphere.
They should deliver and reform, but decided to not, because Jubilee said they did not have too. If not, it is how it’s perceived and the people got the message. So these sort of acts from the IEBC does not change the road-map or their standing in public. That the IEBC showed blatant disregard of the laws to benefit Kenyatta, still exists and has not left the building. It is still there and the bloggers have every right to write them up on it, until they change to become INDEPENDENT, not be a subsidiary of the Jubilee. Peace.
