UPDF has not, and will not deploy in Kenya (13.08.2017)




“There is a moral obligation, I think, not to ally oneself with power against the powerless.” – Chinua Achebe
The world is indifference to the Police Brutality in Kenya, the killings that has been reported on Saturday was up to 24. That is what the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has reported, that is vital since the state claims the people of Kisumu, Mathare and Kibera is all criminal. Therefore, they can violate their turf and break into homes. They can damage property and take lives without any consequences. This is done by the Police force with arms and guns, with force and brutal excessive force, where the lives and people doesn’t matter. This is the cost of the election, the post-election.
“By 7PM Saturday, @MSF teams across #Kenya had evacuated & treated 64 wounded; 11 from gunshots. Med team dispatched to #Kisumu to assist MoH” (MSF East Africa, 12.08.2017).
Yesterday, the was shot a 9 year old girl, today there is reported a 10 year old girl too. These cannot be seen as criminals, they haven’t even lived long enough to start looting and thieving. There are elements of criminal activity in the midst of demonstrations. These has to be put in order, but the police are clearly out of their mandate, when they are killing innocent little children. When they are breaking into homes and when they are shooting and killing.
Instead of killing, they should take them to the police station for questioning, if their violent protestors, but it seems like the Police is escalating the situation and bringing tyranny to the areas of demonstrations. That the police are in Mathare, Kibera and Kisumu acting like this, taking people from their home. Vandalizing and than harassing them, some they are even killing. Each one of them is one to many. Every single person hurt by the police is wrong, even if their criminal, they should be prosecuted through courts, not by street challenge and in their homes.
Was this the power the Kenyatta’s and Ruto’s wanted to bring forward for their next term? That they have the power to kill and overpower the powerless of Kisumu, Kibera and Mathare? That they can do the same as they did to Jacob Juma, Joseph Nkaissery and Chris Msando, to the ordinary people of these areas? Is that what they are trying to say?
What is the purpose, to brutalize the people, kill them into silence, harass them into obedience and hope they will return to be loyal subjects after being violated? Is that the meaning of all of this. That the CS Dr. Fred Matiang’i and Jubilee can overshadow and control them with bullets, Anti-Riot Gear and FEAR! Is that what this is all about.
When helicopters, tear-gas, live-bullets and police hammering on doors, when the impunity become the norm. The uncertainty and civil unrest, the unjust becomes the normal, the brutality becomes the perfection and ordinary lives means nothing. It doesn’t matter, which party or who leading these men. What is important that it got to stop, there is already to many lives lost, to many hurt by beatings and by fear installed. This isn’t governing. This is a hostile takeover. This isn’t justice, this is Impunity.
Kenyatta, if your a man, stand up for this and take charge, act as your supposed to. Not let the innocent die while you eat the spoils. I don’t want to see a grin or smile, we need to see leadership and a man who is responsible. Peace.






That the Kenyan National Police Service are using live-bullets to quell demonstrations in Kisumu and in Mathare and Kibera. The poorest are meeting a hostile police force who are using their powers to silence the people.
Uhuru Kenyatta should act and say something, he should talk to his Cabinet Secretary of Interior Fred Matiang’i. These sort of Post-Election violence is not postive, as the journalists following and reporting the demonstrations are detained and arrested. Even manhandled for following the reactions.
This is the powerless and the only thing they can do is take it to the streets, as they feel betrayed and feels tricked by the government. That is why the people demonstrate. Not that all demonstrators are acting peacefully, but when the Police are using live-bullet, shooting in the air and against the crowd, the fear and reckless behavior make people react it. The looting and burning are natural, since the Police comes with Anti-Riot Gear, big water-canons and tear-gas. They are creating war-zones where they go in to silence the people. Instead of trying to make it ease, they are escalating it.
The killings in Kisumu and Nairobi, is a sad ending to this election. Where the innocent are dying because of the natural questioning the election and the IEBC. The IEBC has had tough week and also bounced numbers on the Portal that doesn’t seem real. That is why the public in Kisumu and Kibera/Mathare are demonstrating.
Every single one that dies because of this, is one to many and this blood is on the hands of authorities, they are coming with weapons and ammunition. They are coming with Armored Personnel Vehicles and taking commando of the areas. Not coming in dialogue, but coming in retaliation against the demonstrating citizens. This is the distrust the Jubilee shows the strongholds of the opposition. They planned it with body-bags delivered to Kisumu before the August 8th 2017. Clearly, they we’re planning this.
When they are blocking the media from following the demonstration and the crackdown of it, then they know they are using excessive force, that they don’t want the world to know. Yesterday, the we’re reports that people was afraid in Kisumu and Kibera, we can only imagine the pain and the suffering. We cannot know, because the authorities are shielding the world and keeping it secret as best they can. Peace.

Let’s be clear, there is nothing noble about the declaration today from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission declaration of Presidential Results. “IEBC DECLARES Uhuru Kenyatta the winner of August 8 #ElectionsKE with 8.2 million votes against 6.8 million of Raila Odinga” (NationBreakingNews, 11.08.2017). Because of the NASA’s leaks from the IEBC these numbers doesn’t make common sense to me and that the verification of the votes seems fraudulent. That I say because many Declaration Forms 34(b) have been different from IEBC Portal.
I start to wonder if the proclaimed Presidential Results will again differ from the ones delivered online. Since it is just made as the IEBC sees fit. I don’t care what motive Wafula Chebukati has or have to have. Because the Jubilee and their Extra-Judicial killings has happen for a reason during their first term. Together with more debt, grand-corruption scandals and less clear-cut governance. More Public PR stunts, than actually building a nation and institutions.
So it is not like the Kenyan experience will get better. Kenyatta knows what his pressure has done, he has silenced the opposition and their claims like he did in 2013. So they have to eat his Presidency for the second time. If this do not escalate and does not hurt, than what does.
The government who has been rampant thieving from the state coffers, used political offices for personal gains and used their state reserves to fictitious companies selling slick and promises to the state. Therefore, the need for something fresh was there.
Now that the IEBC leaks hasn’t solved anything, the Presidential Real Time leak directly from the source has been dismissed by the authorities, since the counting and the votes didn’t fit the program. It didn’t fit Kenyatta and his fellow cronies. Kenyans should be tired of the theft of their goods, their public offices and their government. This isn’t stealing a chicken or a soda at corner-store, this is the real-deal, the grand theft and the ultimate crime. You are getting the office and getting the perks, but your not the man who really got there.
It is insulting, it is heartbreaking and it devastating. That people react and protest, demonstrate and show rage should be understood and not horrify you. They have been taken for granted, used as pawns on the chess-set, while the King stayed the King. This isn’t justice, this is injustice. The official Thief-In-Charge.
That Mathare in Nairobi reacts, that Kisumu and others would retaliate should be within reason. Not create violence, but demonstrate and show that they are displeased of the theft done by the state and their Electoral authority. I just don’t care how many who celebrate and how they take it. That the Police shoots at citizens, tear-gas and people are scared in their homes. This is because the Grand Theft occurred and people should be tired of it. It is within reason, they are tired of being used. Kenyatta should know this, but he doesn’t care because the Kingsmen crowned him King, yet again. Peace.
