South Sudan: Hon. Ustaz Lewis Anei Madut-Kuendit resignation letter to President Salva Kiir Mayardit (18.05.2018)








During this week, President Uhuru Kenyatta signed the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act of 2018, meaning this is becoming actual law, that all citizens of Kenya has to comply to. As this is the legal framework and provisions, that can incriminate or be used against the citizens. They are really prepared to assault the digital world and the ones putting content online.
Two of these provisions, which is really cracking down on the online content is article 22 & 23:
22:“A person who intentionally publishes false, misleading or fictitious data or misinforms with intent that the data shall be considered or acted upon as authentic, with or without any financial gain, commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding five millions shillings or to imprisionment for a term not exceeding two years, or to both”.
23: “A person who knowingly publishes information that is false in print, broadcast, data, or over a computer system, that is calculated or results in a panic, chaos, or violence among citizens of the Republic, or which is likely to discredit the reputation of a person commits an offence and shall on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding five millions shillings or to imprisionment for a term not exceeding ten years or to both”.
This is clearly attacking and if they finds something as fake, they can make the people liable and criminal. While the Jubilee party and President signed this off, their own party should be careful signing this off. As they have worked with Cambridge Analytica and Harris Media, created fake news and also spread wrongful deceitful messaging online. This has been deliberate by them during the General Election of 2017, as well as the Jubilee has spread fictitious promises. Just like the fantastic trains and massive stadiums. Therefore, Kenyatta should know better.
They will use this law to go against the likes of Cyprian Nyakundi and others. The ones like the Elephant and others. Who are not spreading the message of the state, but are questioning their powers. Kenyatta knows this, even his own Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU), who spread the news of an honorary title from the UNICEF to Kenyatta. Which was false, I even got caught in the hype. I know I did, because it seemed like possible, as a month before the WHO gave a Mugabe a title too. Therefore, I got pissed and felt it was unfair to give a title for championing youths, when he destroyed the lives of plenty with the crackdown on protests during the elections.
Therefore, this sort of bill should make sure the PSCU also get arrested on their malicious content and propaganda. Even the planned messages from the team around the President should be spotless, however, the PSCU isn’t. They should have been, since the President has sanctioned these provisions. Why I am concerned, as they are putting restrictions on others, but the Social Media program of the state itself has been questionable and attacked the public itself.
We now can see what the state wants to do to its own citizens, as the are getting stronger provisions to follow and to track, in the end also making their content illegal. This is not just for safety, because these sorts of laws can be used against whistleblowers, and even the ones who drops data online on frauds and such. Since its damaging for the government, this might be a criminal offense for some.
What is the definition of a panic? Is it that Kenyatta cannot stomach a beer? Is it that DP Ruto don’t get a handshake? What is the stakes? Because the provisions that matters for most of the citizens are vague, meaning it depends on the interpretation of the officers and judges. That is not a good signal, that is a bad one, however, doubt the PSCU will get into trouble. More like bloggers, writers and television journalists that suddenly will be detained, because Kenyatta didn’t like what they said, wrote or broadcast. Peace.

Congestion at the site is creating huge challenges for humanitarian agencies who are returning to the area to respond to the urgent need to supply food, clean water and medical services for the displaced families.
JUBA, South Sudan, May 17, 2018 – Up to 150 peacekeepers are being rapidly redeployed to the Unity region to boost the UN Mission’s efforts to protect civilians being deliberately targeted by warring parties.
“What we are witnessing on the ground is the deliberate killing of civilians as well as the sexual violation and abduction of women and children. Homes and livelihoods are being systematically destroyed in a way that prevents families returning to their homes and being able to support themselves,” said the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the UN Mission in South Sudan, David Shearer.
“Our fresh deployment will enable peacekeeping troops to patrol deeper to reach remote villages where the worst atrocities are taking place to create a protective presence and deter further fighting. It will also support the reinforcement of our base at Leer where many civilians are seeking sanctuary,” said David Shearer.
Thousands of civilians are fleeing the intense fighting as armed forces make their way down from Koch towards Leer. At least 30 villages or settlements have been attacked. UNMISS peacekeepers and human rights teams have witnessed the bodies of civilians killed during the fighting left unburied, dozens of huts burnt to the ground, cattle raiding and the destruction of critical services such as boreholes, medical clinics and food stores.
“The atrocities that we are documenting are a clear violation of human rights and international humanitarian law. Two aid workers have been killed and two wounded in the past month. Those responsible must be identified and held accountable for their actions,” said David Shearer.
A site next to the UN base at Leer previously held approximately 500 internally displaced people but the surge in violent clashes has increased numbers to about 2000. Almost 70 per cent of those seeking shelter are children.
Congestion at the site is creating huge challenges for humanitarian agencies who are returning to the area to respond to the urgent need to supply food, clean water and medical services for the displaced families. UNMISS is working closely with the agencies to support the safe delivery of aid.
The Mission continues to engage with local authorities and to urge the warring parties to stop the fighting and adhere to the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement signed by all parties just five months ago.

Let’s be clear, this isn’t funny, this is yet another result of the infamous and the handshake, the building bridges initiative of Uhuru Kenyatta. They have been playing footsie with Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), offered whatnots of relevance for the opposition and left breadcrumbs for the NASA Co-Principals parties and clientele. However, this is about the saga of Miguna Miguna. Which has already been deported twice for his second nationality, being Canadian, while still being able to run for governor for Nairobi in 2017.
That the newly minted and elected Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko send a letter to Beatrice Elachi titled “Re: Nominee for the Position of Deputy Governor Lawyer Miguna Miguna”, being sent on this the 16th May 2018. It is ridiculous after everything, after the assault in his home, the hostage, the non-show in court all across Kenya, the first deportation. Than the second deportation and the sealing of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and keeping him there for a long time, before deporting him again. The whole scenario of making him a victim, taking away his citizenship. Calling him a non-citizen and also expelling him. That as a result of the swearing-in of Odinga on the 31st January 2018. Miguna paid the price for doing so, he really got the cost and was the biggest loser.
Miguna Miguna has been humiliated, he has been acted upon in a manner ,that is without any common sense or reason. Other than being part of a bigger political game and being used as a pawn. To show the power of the Jubilee and they can make anyone lose the privilege of being a citizen of the republic. When doing this, the Jubilee and the Authorities run by the Jubilee Administration didn’t give squat about the Court Orders and their open disregard for the Courts was evident. They didn’t care if they wanted to see Miguna in the Court, even if they wanted the leaders of the National Security Outfits to appear to be there because they hold contempt of Court. Still, they didn’t care much and didn’t need too. Because the state was ready to ditch Miguna like spilled milk. They just didn’t see his value and he was a cast-away.
Sonko and the Jubilee, I don’t know what he is playing with this, what they think they can gain for doing so. There is a saying enemies in politics isn’t forever, however, this is a really assuming that Miguna will take the challenge and become part of establishment. Even as he was an outcast and thrown in the bin by the same not merely a few weeks ago. It is not like the Jubilee has begged forgiveness or even tried to patch the hurt.
This is just further insulting the intelligence of the people who was on the side of Miguna, however, that may be, but there are many who sympathize with his case. As he has been unjustified taken away, he has without any legal bound lost his citizenship and has been a political prisoner without any justification. If so, then the CS and his Police Service would have brought the man to Court. However, they didn’t because they didn’t have a case, not even mere affidavits to build a scope for discovery even.
Miguna has been a victim of the unfavorable and the unjust society that the Jubilee has created. The looting and the destruction of trust between the citizens and the ruling elite. The evidence of this is the lack of proper actions concerning Miguna. This isn’t that, this is mere shenanigans and hoodlums trying to build up their self-esteem, trying to offer another man an office to silence and to consolidate him. Because if he is part of them, then he cannot be vocal critic, as he is on their payroll. It is an old game. It is played out all in front of our eyes. Peace.
