Interesting debate on twitter: Robert Alai's supporters #ReleaseAlaiNowFighting with his critics #UnreleaseAlaiNowLooks like another TweetCourt Battle with 'tribe' as the petitioner - quite pedestrian.

Seen it. Those for UnreleaseAlai shud be ready for a rude, arrogant tweet directed to them once Alai is back...

How an Egyptian Revolution Began on FacebookSaudi Arabia ‘threatens to ban’ Skype, WhatsApp, other instant messaging appsI'm not for him or against him.But you have to understand that the internet undermines the 'powers' that be. Quote:The nail that sticks out gets hammered down - Japanese proverb.
Its simple,they have seen KOT.They are afraid the same people will be inspired and turn against the government.Its a global phenomena which will ensure there will be cyber wars!

This one is a bit fudgy: neither side can prove the other right/wrong. They should lave him alone. It makes for bad press once you start arresting people especially when you are focussing on the losing side. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

I used to follow this guy on twitter and to be honest, he makes many inflammatory remarks. And heavily tribal, abusive and really offensive. I unfollowed him. I am actually surprised they took this long. Unlike Ole Itumbi who usually has some back up of what he alleges, this guys will just post stuff and people keep talking & talking about it. Whereas he (Itumbi) is not innocent either, he is not (or is less) tribal in his posts. I think sometimes we need to consider what we say. Hii kweli ni msalaba wake. Saying he was arrested for alleging that these guys met is funny, he has posted much worse stuff. By the way, It is Alai who has started this hash tag #ReleaseAlainow. He loves & thrives on attention. ....above all, to stand.

Its not whether he is right or not.Its what he symbolizes which at the very least is frustration and resistance.

I agree with @KulaRaha easier to leave him alone. KulaRaha wrote:This one is a bit fudgy: neither side can prove the other right/wrong. They should lave him alone. It makes for bad press once you start arresting people especially when you are focussing on the losing side. Well said @Ms Mkenya he is incorrigible. Even more surprising his frequent tribal/abusive comments go unnoticed. Of late his crusade seems to be attracting some followers who, though rarely, seem to be using him as a whistle-blower. The response by government may appear to lend his allegations some grain of truth. Notice he seemed to report of the meeting LIVE, almost as if an observer was sending him information.

I wonder why there is a lot of hullabaloo about this issue. We need to respect both sides. 1. Alai has right to say whatever he wants-Freedom of expression. However, that freedom should not be left unchecked. Your freedom ends where the other person's freedom starts. 2. The other party(In this case I think Kimemia) feels offended. Thus, point number one comes to play. Alai's freedom was used to offend another party. What to do now? Look for arbitration to decide. And that is where the courts come in. We cant compare with Nyayo era, where the police was judges by themselves...Right now, an Independent Judiciary is available to listen to both parties. Whoever wins, we leave it to the court. I would have been angry had Alai been put to detention, Nyayo chamber or such other crude treatments...My burukenge cents
