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.
