I find this crazy, @LarryMadowo has police killing unarmed civilian live on international media. NO ONE HAS RESIGNED!! NO ARREST HAS BEEN MADE!! CRAZY the country we live in
Rigathi Gachagua telling Kenyans not to attend the June 25 anniversary is not wisdom, it is political comedy from a man who suddenly discovered police brutality after leaving government.
This anniversary was not called for politicians to come and control the streets, it was about mourning young Kenyans who died, celebrating their courage, remembering their sacrifice and demanding that their blood does not become another forgotten paragraph in Kenya’s dirty political history.
When police were cracking down on Azimio protesters, Gachagua was not this soft grandfather begging young people to stay indoors and play with children.
He was defending police, attacking human rights groups for not speaking about injured officers, saying police were also human beings and echoing the government line that security was not negotiable.
He even backed the withdrawal of security from opposition leaders until street protests stopped, then today he wants to lecture Kenyans about state violence as if he was born yesterday in the opposition nursery.
This is the same man Kenyans recently reminded of past remarks where he told police to continue doing their work and not be bothered by criticism from protesters and opposition leaders.
Now that the same machine he once defended has turned against him, he wants to sound like the patron saint of civil liberties.
June 25 is about candles, flowers, names, prayers, tears and memory, not politicians sneaking into grief with ballot mathematics and fear campaigns.
So why is Gachagua inserting himself into a day that belongs to the dead, their families and the young people who stood up when many leaders were still calculating which side would benefit them?
If the anniversary is about remembering dead heroes, why is a politician rushing to tell people to stay away as if remembrance now needs clearance from Wamunyoro?
Kenyans should ask a very simple question........
Who is Rigathi Gachagua working for when he tells people not to show up for a memorial that is meant to honour dead heroes?
When you get overwhelmed and forget who Rigahti is, remember what once said
Illegitimate President Samia Suluhu should be the last person advising Ruto to flog young Kenyans who are asking for accountability.
Madam Illegitimate President, before you export canes to Kenya, please account for what happened in Tanzania after your disputed election. Your government is still facing serious allegations over the killing of protesters, the silencing of opposition voices and the use of state violence against citizens who demanded answers.
You do not cleanse your image by telling another president to beat his youths. You only remind the region that some leaders confuse public office with ownership of human beings.
Young Kenyans are not Ruto’s children to be flogged. They are citizens. They pay taxes. They have a right to ask where public money went, why people were killed during protests, why corruption is protected and why governments across East Africa fear the youth more than they fear thieves.
It is shameless for an illegitimate president accused by opposition figures and rights voices of presiding over a bloody crackdown to lecture Kenya on discipline.
The region does not need presidents exchanging notes on how to beat citizens into silence. It needs leaders who understand that accountability is not indiscipline and protest is not a crime.
Idi Amin Mama, Samia should first answer for Tanzania before volunteering as East Africa’s headmistress of repression.
Shame on any leader who sees angry young citizens and reaches first for the cane.
