There is a 'rebellion' planned for Feb 28 by Kenyans on twitter.First they planned to hoot nonstop at a predesignated time...this was seen as lame, now they have changed their tact they want every Kenyan to sing the National anthem on that date claiming this protest will unite Kenyans towards a common purpose(or something on those lines)

My view is that this is also lame unless you involve all kenyans especially the common man like ODM did in 2008 nothing will ever be done.

I thot the hooting and the national anthem r two different events?? nway I think the national anthem idea is a good one but only if we do it regularly n on special days like 28FEB, 4AUG,27AUG hata 14FEB. and we also make sure that we the pple control it (it should never get to gava hands).

The other day when some civil societies were protesting against kibakis nomination,a prokibaki group attacked them,this shows how polarized the country is to ever achieve what the Egyptian protesters achieved.

And the honking is supposed to heard at state house? Waste of time...

A north African sytle revolution cannot happen on our soil at leaast not in our age, we are tooo tribally polarised to see beyond our noses!

And here is a video explaining what feb 28 is all about.

this qualifys to be another joke of the year...
please
-what percentage of kenyans know what twitter is?
-what percentage of motor vehicles owners know what twitter or youtube is.. unless you want to hoot alone in the street .

the only media that can spearhead such a process in kenya is only the mainstream media radio.TV.newspapers. do you think they can do it?

@selah
this is a very noble idea but i am sorry to have burst your bubble. such a protest can only happen where 90% of the population is of the same culture or language.

finally don't forget that in this country we always have a chance to change the government after 5 years.the government you want to protest against. has more grass root support than you think.(whether you want to bury your head in the sand or not kenya is a tribal country).60% of tribes had rejected kibakis rule in 2007. the number has dropped to 19% meaning kibaki has regained confidence of 41%of tribes that had initially rejected him.when you add the 40% that approved of his leadership you get 81% of kenyan tribes approval rating.

I dont know why pple are so negative about this protest I think Its high time WE KENYANS took control of our destiny.Its quite discouraging to see people who complain about tribal politics in this forum do not support efforts to unite Kenyans thru' the national anthem just because the protest was initiated by kenyans on twitter.

Remember the protest in Egypt and Tunisia were not at first aimed at toppling their governments, it was used first to voice their anger on the rising cost of living then when the govt turned a blind eye to their cries it metamorphosed into a protest for regime change.

WE all agree this country is not heading in the right direction if the current crop of politicians continue with the current trend so its imperative we take this issue personally as kenyans and take to the streets.To show them we are not happy with what they are doing.
