Why are people committing this heinous crimes in and getting away with it??? Or are they doing it on purpose so that they can be arrested and remain relevant?

What do you do with such fellows? Follow the law and arrest them or let they yap as much as they want??

They are hopping that they will be arrested and the act will cause unrest then they can force a nusu mkate situation.

They need to look for new tricks hiyo ilikua ya 2007 and cannot work in 2014.

From observation even their supporters are tired and have received the news with.........."Aiiii!!....thats not true".

If I say, 'Yes arrest them'; or if I say, 'Freedom of speech!' will I be making things better or worse?

I believe that our political leaders need not just 'our' support, but 'our' honesty. And how can we find honesty if we are hell bent to get to high positions of power?

Because the private citizen doesn't want to optimize on his power, and is deeply concerned with his selfish interests.

The African spirit is communalistic, and right now the citizen should be concerned about our incessant quarrelling and how to end it.

I long for candid conversation on these challenges facing us as humans. And especially the 'masses', the 'unpeople' the 'Wanjikus'. I am them.

And don't think that I don't understand the 'minority' that rules the world. Or the middle class. I am everyone. And I have nothing but love for Man. Myself.

Upholding democracy, and freedom for all isn't easy, and we must be rigorous.
