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..
