It looks like Kamale will have his Patriot Act despite CORD MP's attempting to disrupt the third reading of the security laws amendment bill. The question now will be what amendments did the various parliamentary committees make to the objectionable clauses before they rushed it through parliament...
I am happy that legislative efforts have been made to fight terror in Kenya. Doing nothing was never an option! I may not fully agree with the methods this was achieved, but we have a law. Unfortunately the amendments that the CORD MPs had proposed were dropped for lack of a mover as they continued making noise. These amendments were the results of a consensus meeting between Jubilee and CORD, so it is a pity that the law would have gone through with important amendments missed out. But that is water under the bridge and am sure those offended will run to the High Court to get the unconstitutional sections of the Bill are deleted.
But the Law is just one element in the fight against terror. We have enabled our terror fighters with legislation, it is up to them to use the law faithfully and I believe Nkaissery will not make political capital of the law.
We been doing things. Hard tough terrible things.
Mombasa homes boast disappeared youth. ATPU came calling.
Mombasa clerics been dropping dead. Old Western Movie rain of bullets!
Our Army is in Somalia --kicking and chewing a.ss you bet!
We sent truckloads --plane loads that is, of personnel for training in Israel.
Americans and Brits have free run of arrests in Kenya, and some say, hits! (this is the story in Eastleigh Nairobi, where a horde of parents can not account for what happened to their lasses! but they got grounds!)
Remember William Ruto's orders to the army: shoot to kill on suspicion! then Karangi and his boys suspected cows in Baringo to be al-shabaan collaborators! they opened fire and killed 72 and many more goats in one field!
Man man man! we been busy! where have you been!? chewing pu-ssy nonstop!?
The haste with which Mr Kenyatta --baby boy Kenyatta (to differentiate him from his father who, too was President) has signed these bills, is bad. He has not thought them deeply through. Acting a bit like your adolescent teenagers. Doing stuff and looking gobsmacked when consequences tend the other way!
Remember when he rushed to declare Mpeketoni an ethnic cleansing theater!? then a huge land problem arose, and the arrest of the governor turned out to be one huge game to hide scams!?
A man in power must be deliberative --mature in mind, weighing stuff like a master poet his words. But on the other side for historians, the infantile mistakes of those in power is the stuff of hot history --at a later date riveting the attention of students in class!
