A New KANU Arrest: This time its MP George Aladwa of Makadara and the allegations isn’t adding up!

We know now that the Jubilee government, the Ministry of Interior are looking for ways to humiliate and arrest National Super Alliance (NASA) affiliates, they do it under the pretext of CS Fred Matiangi. They are continuing doing it with people, they don’t think will shed fear of retribution. Since they picked Hon. George Aladwa, who was taken from his home during Friday night on 2nd February 2018. This is continued with the other several off political arrests as well as the Media Shutdown.

President Uhuru Kenyatta and his henchmen are not sleeping. They are calculating who to take and for what purpose. He has already on his watch taken TJ Kajwang, Miguna Miguna and now George Aladwa. Aladwa was taken to an unknown location. Just like the others, who had to found and then petition their release. Something the Police doesn’t respect, the court orders. They are just doing as they please.

However their reasoning is kind of weird:

Aladwa is accused of planning an attack on Kalonzo Musyoka’s home and masterminding the chaos in Kibera. In the January 31 attack, gunmen threw a stun hand grenade at Kalonzo’s Karen home before shooting twice in the air. Police spokesman Charles Owino, who accompanied detectives from Nairobi Area command and the Bomb and Hazadrous Disposal Unit of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to the scene, confirmed the attackers used a bomb usually used to scare rather than harm” (Orinde, 2018).

So now the NASA MP is accused of attacking his own, that is weird, because I remember the Police saying this as it occurred:

Addressing the media at Musyoka’s Karen residence, police spokesperson Charles Owino said after visiting the scene of crime, they recovered a live bullet and a stun grenade which he said is non-lethal” (…) “Kalonzo called our emergency line saying his home was under attack we mobilised our officers from Nairobi area and Hardy police station to visit the scene. The report we got is that two vehicles approached his home at around 1.15am. Fortunately, there were three guards from Cobra security company and their patrol car right outside his compound. Upon checking, the security officers recovered a pin for a grenade and a live bullet,” said Owino” (Muriuki, 2018).

So what I find special is that on Wednesday 31st January said it was stun grenade and a live bullet, while saying two cars passed by the compound of Kalonzo. Therefore, is Owino saying that Aladwa was throwing a stun grenade on Kalonzo’s compound? Since he was already at the Uhuru Park and actually taking part of the Swearing-In. That would be more reason for his arrest, than trying to pin a mockery of a case on their own. How to politicize an attack after, seemingly making two dots together that doesn’t make sense.

So I am surprised that they are trying to amend these to separate events, as they are trying to create havoc inside the NASA with allegations, while they have enough issues with the cowards who didn’t show up on the 30th January. But that is also another matter. Now this is just a proof that the Police and Jubilee, trying to fix their charges as they see fit. But how come they are now charging Aladwa for what happen to Kalonzo. So they are initially saying he masterminded this and got someone to throw a stun-grenade on the lawn of compound and drive away?

That sounds more like a teenager or even someone trying to make a scene, to make up for the events of not showing up somewhere else. It just had to happen hours later and after Kalonzo had audio out of losing security guards. While the Police saying there we’re security guards from a company there. Therefore, the story of Kalonzo doesn’t fit the narrative. It later doesn’t fit the first explanation from the Police and now they used a bomb, while they just found a stun-grenade. How does something go from a stun-grenade into bomb? That is evolution that Charles Darwin would be proud of, I am sure words of wisdom has to be put into the ear-holes and make sure the details fit. How a live bullet and stun-grenade become a bomb. Secondly, how suddenly a NASA MP masterminded this, is far-fetched, but that is also because this allegations that can tarnished quicker than popcorn. Just crush a few popcorn’s in your hand. The same can be done with reasoning of the Police Spokesperson Owino.

Just crush it and know the KANU party and their illegitimate acts are back, to try to silence and control the state. The Kenyatta government are now using the declaration of Matiangi to take down NASA. They are doing it piece by piece, they are also blacking out the media. So that people are only following the media that Kenyatta and Ruto owns. Such a bunch of greedy gentlemen the Jubilee, sorry KANU is. Peace.

Opinion: Kenyatta has unleashed the modern-day KANU dictatorship!

Uhuru Kenyatta as incumbent has today again proven what his ways and his reasoning concerning anyone else. Even as the court orders for the Githeri Media channels of Citizen’s TV Kenya, KTN and NTV are still closed for broadcast. While the National Super Alliance are under hot water.

The NASA or NRM General Miguna Miguna has today been arrested and supposed free on a fee of 50,000 shillings done by lawyer Nelson Havi earlier in the day. Still he is being hold at Githunguri Police station. The famous NTV journalists are freed today after two days being inside the NTV building and no police barged the building, like they did early this morning to arrest Miguna Miguna. Clearly, there is difference between folk. So that Linus Kaikai, Larry Madowo and Ken Mijungu.

What is disappointing is that the African Union and United States are condemning Raila Odinga and NASA for their inauguration as People’s President, while just putting some remarks onto the affairs of the state. They are vindicating Odinga, while accepting the illegitimate ways of Kenyatta. Who is now using the state machinery with force against his opposition. Not Thirdway Alliance, even if Ekuru Aukot tries play like he is relevant in the battle between KANU and NASA.

Today at the Inspectors Conference, the President Kenyatta continues his assault on the media as the government defies court orders, bullied the media out expect for K24 (which the President own) and KBC Channel 1. So Uhuru attacks the journalists like Jomo did in the 1950s, when Jomo had once said:

You journalists be careful not to report what is not true. One paper recently reported that an African leader stated that there is nothing wrong with people stealing. Write what I say, not what you like!”. It seems to be running the same ideas in the mind of Uhuru. Like father like son.

All of this arrests and the fear arose after the swearing-in on the 30th January. Therefore, the results of the aftermath is the answer from Kenyatta. He wants to show his power and his reach. That the ones wanting to take his place and question his place. Will be sorted out, even if the Police haven’t taken Odinga or given him the Besigye treatment yet. However, I think that is coming. Since Miguna Miguna and TJ Kajwang has both been charged and has to answer for their crimes. That means other are soon on the radar and ready to prey for the government.

The same with the media, as this is play to weaken the NASA and NRM. Just like most of the NASA leadership has lost their security agents, while also many of them has lost their rights to bear weapons. This has created issues, but is to be expected since CS Fred Matiangi has declared them a criminal gang. Meaning, they are seen as Criminal. Therefore, it is seemingly criminals carrying guns and they can loose it. That is why Arati and Mudavadi has lost their license.

So Uhuru Kenyatta now has problem ordering the media around and only using the once he trust, which is his own. Like he trusts the police using his bidding, instead of fighting crime. The police service are preoccupied, also are the other institutions under the Ministry of Interior, who are all in alert and mode to harass and arrest NASA leaders. We can await more big-fish and more troubles. As today there we’re report that the Flying Squad was following the trail of Odinga to Karen. He arrived safe in the hotel, but that is worrying and showing the signs of what sort of state it is.

That Kenyatta would sink this low, lay the bar so low and first rig himself into power for the second time. Now assault the media and now the opposition. Aukot, isn’t the Opposition, he is the needed dumb pawn, Kenyatta needs. The Police chased away journalists and activists from the Communications Authority, who are in-charge of the media blackout. They are not following orders, so the state is clearly not following the courts themselves. So the police are really following the bidding of Kenyatta, not the constitution. That is proven by the disregard for the court orders when coming to media and also the NASA arrests.

We can wonder what will happen at the court when TJ Kajwang and Miguna Miguna will show-up in Courts for their counts of criminal activity. The same with answering the courts for the continued blackout. Even if the NTV journalists got away after 48 hours and being stuck inside the building. While the NASA politicians are hunted down like they imported a ton of cocaine. That shows the difference between family affairs and the enemies.

We are now seeing the start of a new era of KANU politics as Kenyatta are acting like his predecessors, because freedom doesn’t matter and neither does justice. That is why the Courts are disrespected and the rule of law. Only one man matter and the rules by him. Kenyatta are becoming that. His dictatorship is starting. We can just wonder how far he will push it and how much hurt he will create. Peace.

The Police is now arresting three journalists from NMG: Kaikai, Madowo and Mijungu!

Today, the Nation Media Group (NMG) and the National Television (NTV) Kenya at their National Center has been not only stopped their broadcast on the second day. But today, three of their top journalists has been arrested this evening. These are Linus Kaikai, Larry Madowo and Ken Mijungu. These three was arrested by Police Officers in Plain Clothes.

The orders of CS Fred Matiangi are clearly in effect and the attack on the media is full action. We can just await now that the Police are going after KTN and Citizen Kenya TV. Since they have already gone to the other station. We can just await others who will follow. If this being radios or printed media. Because blogger Cyprian Nyakundi has to show-up in Court after two days behind bars. I don’t know the state of his, but they have been in jail for over 5 days at this point. If they also we’re released today.

It is nicknamed Tano Terror and Tano Outrage, as they are avenging the National Super Alliance (NASA) had yesterday swearing-in or Presidential Oath of Raila Amolo Odinga. As the broadcast of these events was warned about on 26th January 2018. This was days before the Oath, but still several of mediahouses went to it. They we’re all threaten by the President as he warned them. Now it is coming in affect.

That they are doing this and taking them. Is proving how they are assaulting the freedom of speech. They are having issues with the Githeri Media. Wonder if they will arrest anyone from the Star, which is a paper owned by Ruto. Or they will be left behind?

This is just the start of the purge, as well as what has happen to the MP earlier in the day. We know now their mission and its to silence possible dissidents from the Jubilee/KANU line. Since this is out of Moi’s playbook. Peace.

CS Fred Matiangi has unleashed a new Moi era!

Today, Kenyans should feel like their repeating history, as the Jubilee Alliance new cabinet and the crackdown on opposition starts. Yesterday, the newly minted Cabinet Secretary for Interior Fred Matiangi ordered the National Super Alliance (NASA) or the National Resistance Movement (NRM) as a Criminal Gang. That is on the 30th January 2018, the day Raila Amolo Odinga sworn-in himself as President in Uhuru Park.

Now, the CS Matiangi continues where he left off yesterday, with continued media blackout and promises actions. That has already done against critics of him, blogger Cyprian Nyakundi is behind bars awaiting trial, also his kin has been detained. This because the CS cannot keep his little pinky for himself and wants to share it with a church-girl. Instead of the CS paying for the crimes of infidelity, Cyprian and family has lost their constitutional freedoms.

Therefore, we know that Matiangi are up something special and have not learned from history. Because he is without knowing or trying actually repeating history. I will take a few articles from the 1990s, to show how the KANU and Moi era was concerning how the ruling regime was treating their opponents. You will see very similar stories today. That should worry you, since the Jubilee instead of going beyond the measures of the past; they are replicating the worst from the past.

In 1990:

“NAIROBI, Kenya — In what could be a signal of a renewed crackdown on political opposition in this one-party country, the government Saturday announced a permanent ban on the Nairobi Law Monthly, a leading voice of dissent. It was the fourth time in two years that the government had banned a politically outspoken periodical, although Kenya’s constitution guarantees freedom of the press. Under government regulations, it is now illegal for anyone to possess even a past issue of the Law Monthly, which faced numerous incidents of official harassment during its two-year life. The rationale for the banning order was not made public, but in its latest issue, the Law Monthly had called for the dissolution of Parliament and for a constitutional amendment allowing the recall of a president who acts contrary to national law, a clear challenge to President Daniel Arap Moi” (Hiltzik, 1990).

In 1992:

“NAIROBI, Kenya, March 20— President Daniel arap Moi banned all political meetings today, citing weeks of ethnic violence that Government opponents say has been allowed to spread in order to undermine a movement for greater democracy. The ban, viewed by some politicians and diplomats as a possible prelude to declaring a state of emergency, comes only four months after Kenya moved to re-establish multiparty politics, which have been banned since 1969” (Perlez, 1992).

In 1997:

“While Mr. Moi runs the risk of being seen as a tyrant, the opposition is already being blamed by some middle-class Kenyans for looting and mayhem in the streets that have shut down normal business, political analysts said” (…) “Tension has been growing for weeks over calls to reform Kenya’s Constitution and repeal colonial-era security laws, which give the President sweeping powers to disperse protests and detain political opponents” (McKinly Jr, 1997)

While NTV, KTN and Citizen TV Kenya are both, down and blocked from broadcasting, because of the crimes. The purge against NASA has started, as NASA lawyer and Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang, who was the international barrister at the swearing-in yesterday. Are now detained by the Flying Squad and taken to Nairobi PCIO. Clearly, the Police Service is starting the mission on the newly formed criminal gang and former politicians.

With the knowledge of Cyprian, now MP Kajwang and there are other come. Since the words of CS Matiangi, that its time for actions. Means the crackdown on NASA is really beginning. More faces will be charged and arrested. More of the leadership who was there, expect Hassan Ali Joho and others who was there to be behind bars.

Since now, the Moi era 2.0. is starting. The dictatorship is official, as the Jubilee, President Kenyatta and DP Ruto are sanctioning Matiangi to do as he pleases. Create offenses and make sure political opponents get behind bars. Certainly, also media will be under fire, as they already are.

Therefore, we can await a charge of treason on Raila Odinga, since he did what he did yesterday. Matiangi and the Police will not show mercy. They are not showing it to the rest. Now the Jubilee has started and certainly Kajwang is the beginning. CS Matiangi clearly missed the Moi era and wants it to return, so refreshing of him. Clearly, he has misunderstood. But it seems fair from the seat of power, but when your oppressed and harassed by the illegitimate authority. You know it is about time before the ship starts to crack. Jubilee, has the power for now, but for how long. Because they haven’t the popularity of Odinga. That was proven yesterday. That is why the Police acting with calm, but now they are starting to round up people. Expect them to cease NASA offices and Opposition Party headquarters. That is coming too. Especially if Kenyatta and Ruto let Matiangi do what he do.

We have no gone back in time, we are repeating history and the lesson is happening right in front of our eyes. Matiangi is working his magic like one of the henchmen ruling in the dark days of Moi. He is starting with crackdown on media and now opposition. We can await more swift laws, more black-outs, like social media and the internet. Don’t be surprised if VPN is the way out soon. The government will use all tools to control and oppress the citizens who are not aligned with them.

Let it be known, that the Moi days back, with the people in charge of it is Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto and Fred Matiangi. They are all bringing back the good-old one-party, dictatorship, the Kalenjin and Kikuyu power-house, where all the rest just being silenced. Following orders from the State House, let the President do what he pleases and media swallows the Presidential Strategic Communication Unit is spreading of information. So that the Githeri Media is delivering the right message, massaged by the inner-circle and no dissidents allowed. The Jubilee will now control all and start purge against opposition.

It is starting, one man down, more networks and people to go. Expect more papers, internet pages like the Elephant.Info and others, if they are not connected from a far to put into jeopardy. Since, Matiangi will go against it in loyalty to the cause. The cause of strengthening the Jubilee, instead he might make Odinga even stronger. As his mission to prove the totalitarian state is in motion. Jubilee is losing at their own game and showing their true colors. While the whole world is watching.

Still, it is painful to see history repeats itself. To the Moi era return. That Kenyatta unleashed that on his people. That is what he did and how he used his power. If that isn’t sad, than nothing is. You have the ability to do good, but use it in vain and for the cause of contempt of the people. That is why Kasarani was empty on Jamhuri Day. Jubilee doesn’t have the people’s support and they know it.

Still, that is the time its good to have the police and military to back you up. So you can silence the citizens with bullets and tear-gas, because that is how you build a sustainable society. NOT!

Now, let it be known, Moi era 2.0. is now on. Let the sadness continue..

CS Fred Matiangi: “Government Statement on Subversive Activities by NASA” (31.01.2018)

Opinion: Odinga’s journey to Canaan continues today!

Today, Raila Amolo Odinga did a victory lap, as the giant crowd proves of his loyal support and that he is really the People’s President. Even if he has no formal victory though the courts. The people still knows who is their real President. That is why minutes after his Oath. Cabinet Secretary of Interior Fred Matiangi has outlawed and made the National Super Alliance (NASA) or the National Resistance Movement (NRM) illegal. So, he has no made association or rallies made by this group illegal. That is off today.

Because Odinga did his move, now the state is ready to answer. The Jubilee, Communication Authority (CA) turned off broadcasting and live broadcasts of the Swearing-In ceremony at Uhuru Park. While the Police Officers through Tear-gas in Central Business District. It was still no chaos compared to when the NASA has had demonstrations there. Today it was peaceful within the area of the Ceremony. That only took 5 minutes, tops. This was clearly not broadcasted on Citizen TV or NTV. They we’re black-out. Just like certain areas load-shedding of electricity happen too. The Police in the areas around Nairobi blocked buses from Mombasa so they couldn’t make it to the venue. So the Jubilee had already used theirs power against Odinga. So Nairobi Police Commander Koome acted with more sense than normal, and actually didn’t engage like he has done in the past. Therefore, the was police brutality towards the crowds or anyone disturbing the peace, which is proven that the Police initiate.

The Police did instead continue to focus on Blogger Cyprian Nyakundi and his family. Who has been taken after publishing stories of secret love-affair of CS Matiangi. That has weaken him and his authority, that he has knocked-up a church girl while being married. Isn’t a good look for anyone of supposed moral authority. So he has avenged this with his legal powers, taken innocent citizens who happens to parts of Nyakundi’s family detained and moved between police stations. Also, the blogger has gotten his gear confiscated again, also that himself has been arrested twice. So the state isn’t at a lovely place right now.

We can wonder what happen to the rest of the central leadership in NASA today. Since Moses Wetangula, Musalia Mudavadi and Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka we’re not present. They didn’t before a while later, about the same time Matiangi delivered the declared criminal gang, that they we’re not able to show up for unknown reasons. Its like they coward out. And couldn’t risk standing behind their leader and be part when it needed the most. They we’re afraid of risking it all, to prove they we’re a unit for and representing the people. The people that showed up and came in full force to Uhuru Park today.

Kalonzo Musyoka are saying he didn’t show-up because of the lack of security detail. That was taken away of the Security Detail, that was taken away from the leadership tomorrow. So he stayed home, awaiting the next moves, since he didn’t want to show-up because a “tactical movement”. He feared the lacking security. So he is worried about his security.

For the International media like AFP and Reuters calling it a MOCK Swearing-In is wrong. That is demeaning the events of today and the ceremony. Even if the NASA team failed to show-up and Raila was alone with Hassan Ali Joho and few other key partners. Still, the questioning of the Elections in 2017, was questioned today. If it was just a mock and not taken serious. Why would the CS Matiangi, make the Party and Alliance declared as a Criminal Group, means they are outlawed by the Jubilee government.

So the ones who wanted to speak of dialogue should shut-up and wonder why there are troubles like this. Why there are so many showing up to Uhuru Park for Odinga, while Kasarani at Jamhuri Day, the National Day was empty stadium with crickets and only a few loyalists to Uhuru Kenyatta. Therefore, NASA leadership should understand their time and their moment. It was today, it was a huge build-up while Kenyatta was enjoying days-off in Addis Ababa. So whatever that could happen, they would bash in the glory and also in their real popularity.

We can wonder what happens tomorrow and how this affect the stages of political insecurity in Kenya. Certainly, the stages for uprising and for more turmoil is there. Even as NASA Leadership speaking peace and offering tokens of hope. The Jubilee gave peace in a way, even if there was stirring since of issues of yesterday and in the morning. As the Police trucks and roads was opened to the venue. They could have gone all-in as they have done before.

We hope that Odinga has thought this true and has plans for further movement. As the People’s Assembly put up in the regions and the addressing the of the status of the Alliance. Since the NASA is outlawed. That is serious business. Kenyatta have now through the state made his arch-enemies criminals by association and by effect of acts done by Odinga. Even if the NASA goes to court with the Declaration, the state would stall their efforts to thwart NASA to continue their progression of legitimatize the Jubilee and the current administration. Peace.
