The Butere Girls Play, Shackles of Doom, is therefore OKAY!

Why conspire to block it if 'members from those regions aren't given free cash or unga by the above mentioned leaders'.


Exactment....why block....even the NCIC audit showed the same dominace by a few tribes. why block the play???


the environment has already been poisoned.
I am asking myself - what is the motive of the play-write? A fact check by NCIC reveals that Kyuks indeed have an unfair tally (a variance of 4%) as reported in this report
http://198.38.90.109/~co...e%20civil%20service.pdf However, we need to remember that the play will still be there even the reality changes. It could be published as a short story or a play for some African nation to read in future, a future where Kyuks may not be having a large number of public positions
if it is to tackle tribalism and nepotism (something that is not unique to kyuks - for reference check out the stats of the employees of the office of the prime minister) the play can be re-written so that it uses imagery and fictitious groups of people. Let him borrow a leaf from George Orwell who used a farm of animals to attack Communism and other related groupings and regimes. his writings have been timeless since they have attacked an ideology not a group of people. however if the ODM County Assembly Ward Rep.'s motive is to attack Nepotism and Tribalism in Kikuyu - he is spot on!

As explained by Malala himself on NTV's the theme for this year was National cohession and intergration, the play is based on NCIC's report on distribution of public service jobs.

He has done plays before based on Maasai, Luhya etc and won in the National drama festivals.

would it have been different if he used Kioko/Mutua/mwende etc?

imagine if he did plays with maa names and his play did not have anything positive about the maa people but instead perpetuated stereotypes... remember the CITY CLOCK joke? of if he did one with the luhyas and perpetuated a sterotype. this would not be acceptable right? my point is this, if you have something positive to say (state the names), if you have a negative thing to say then use fictitious names or related things because it may be seen to be attacking a group of people due to the 4% variance between population and the share of public service jobs they have.

I am keen on so many other things that happen aound. Just imagine the amount of marketing the state has done for that play, everybody will want to watch it!!!

Each of us have freedom of expression, only the courts can determine if one has gone overboard!!!!
