Pauline, God has been watching and he is. Vengeance is his.

[Pauline Njoroge @paulinenjoroge]

The order to have me arrested was issued last week on Wednesday by the powers that be, and the DCI immediately started tracking me. They finally pounced on Saturday, 22nd July at about 2pm.

On Friday evening, I had received a strange phone call. The caller had identified himself as a person working for a bank. This person claimed that he had some confidential documents that he wanted to give me in Malindi and asked me to go alone. This startled me because I had not posted anywhere that I was at the Coast. So how did he know? Anyway, I decided to ignore. Nduta also received a call on Saturday morning from a person who wanted to know whether she does tours in Mombasa. We discussed these things and decided to carry on with our day.

We left the hotel that afternoon to go see Gedi Ruins, Hells Kitchen and the first Church in Malindi, which was set up by the Portuguese. When we left the hotel we found a double cabin vehicle packed outside the resort. Nduta commented that the occupants had the demeanor of police officers but our driver Emmanuel told us they were probably just neighbours. We passed the vehicle and proceeded to join the tarmac road. We had hardly gone a kilometre before the very same vehicle blocked us on the road and asked us to follow them to Watamu Police Station. I was however able to alert my advocate and a core group of friends that we had been picked up by the Police.

Once we arrived at the station, they took my phone. They however allowed Nduta to keep hers so long as it was within their sight. The situation however changed and even her phone was confiscated. They also took Emmanuel's phone.

They then proceeded to interrogate me and Nduta in separate rooms. Our driver Emmanuel was outside in the vehicle as all this was going on. The officer questioning Nduta suggested she could leave but she declined and said she would wait for me.

After about two hours, the officers took us back to our hotel to search our rooms. In my room, they found collagen and vitamin C supplements which were in the container I purchased them in. Those were what they labelled psychotropic substances. They finished the search in my room and we began to to take inventory of the items they had taken, which now included my laptop. As we were doing this, one officer came carrying a roll of bangi and said that she had found it behind the TV. Nduta and the officer engaged in a back and forth. That was the first time in my life that I was seeing a roll of bangi. My friends can confirm that.

In Nduta's room they took found her multi-vitamins, omega and collagen supplements. They also took her laptop, all her notebooks and all her reports and a novel she had carried. Her supplements were also labelled psychotropic substances.

When we got back to the police station, they informed us that they would also search the car. Mind you the driver had been in the car throughout this episode so if we had something to hide, by this time he would already have done it. Interestingly, as soon as the officers started searching, 2 rolls of bangi appeared out of nowhere on one of the seats. At that point I told the officers that it was now clear the games they were playing in oder to fix us, but since we were helpless in this situation we were going to leave the matter to God in heaven who judges the affairs of men. It was obvious that they were thinking through what to charge us with, and trying to make anything stick.

Long story short, the 3 of us were locked up and one of our lawyers who came to the station that night read to us the OB statement which was already in circulation. It indicated that we had been arrested for being in possession of narcotics and psychotropic substances.

Fast forward, on Monday we were up by 5am, ready to be presented to court that morning. But my midday we were still in the cell not knowing what was happening. Later on we learnt that those dealing with the matter in Watamu were still not sure what to charge us with or who would appear as the investigating officer, since this was really not their case. The orders were coming from Nairobi.

At around 2pm we finally arrived in the Malindi court. The only document available at the time was an application with 15 counts, but there was no charge sheet. The prosecutor brought the charge sheet when the court was already in session, therefore it could not be admitted. It is important to note that there was no mention of narcotics on that charge sheet. Even as per the application, I was supposed to charged for hate speech against the Head of State and hate speech against the State, which is unheard of and cannot apply under our constitution.

Meanwhile in those 15 counts in the application, none of them touched on Nduta and Emmanuel. Zero! In short, the state had detained two innocent Kenyans for 2 nights and presented them in court, without a single reason. If this is not madness, I don't know what is. By dragging the two into this smear campaign regarding narcotics, they endangered Nduta's livelihood and caused immense distress to Emmanuel, whose father had just being released from hospital two days earlier, and was in a very delicate situation.

As for me, I still do not know what crime I had committed to warrant my detention. As we speak, my gadgets are with the Cyber Crime unit on Kiambu Road, because the powers that be are desperately still trying to get something to pin on me after their previous attempt failed terribly and exposed their evil scheme.

This is my message to them:
I shall not be silenced! By detaining us, you only strengthened our resolve. We will not sit and watch as some fellows try to turn the clock back, recreating our country's dark past. Patriots of that generation sacrificed sweat and blood to liberate our country from dictatorship, so that we may have the democratic space we currently enjoy. Because of our present circumstances, the responsibility to guard jealousy our hard earned freedom has fallen upon our generation. We must bear that responsibility bravely.

To our family, friends and supporters, I say thank you for your overwhelming love and prayers.

To our lawyers, thank you for spending a couple of sleepless nights preparing a strong defence.

To the media, you stood up for the truth. Thank you!

Miguna,
You are very educated with three degrees. Kudos. How about if you modeled by not being confrontational and abusive? What person would you be?

[Dr. Miguna Miguna @MigunaMiguna]

Conman @RailaOdinga cows keep yelping that “Miguna is jealous of Raila.” Pardon me? 😊

How can a man with 3 degrees who has practised law in Canada for 28 years and published 7 books be jealous of a grade 6 school dropout who is so incoherent and disorganized that the only place he can survive in is Kenya because in a banana republic all one requires to acquire wealth is to be a thief?

As everyone knows, even certified idiots are capable of stealing and conning the ignorant and vulnerable in the third world. No, Kenyans, conman @RailaOdinga doesn’t have anything of value that I would want. I don’t want his looted wealth. Nor do I admire how he mumbles words through clench teeth!

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

True Pauline,
Name for Kenyans one thing that has come down. Zilch

[Pauline Njoroge @paulinenjoroge]

No no no! Stop telling us to give Ruto time, that he knows what he is doing. No he doesn’t! He just lied throughout his campaign.

You want to confirm he doesn’t know what he is doing? Remember the oil deal he made with UAE, promising us that it would bring down the price of dollar to ksh 120 and below? What happened? How much is the dollar selling at as we speak?

@annakonuche Swim in your clothes or gym daily. Forces you to shower.

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

God, Why on earth would a so called president of a Nation, very learned lift logging in a country where forest cover is and has been less than 10% for decades? 3.6% short at 7.4%. In danger due to fuel tax. Advised by CS environment for God's sake?

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

This has been lnternational Coaching Week and what I've learnt is that, giving someone space to share their feelings is the most powerful gift as it is where people find balance and healing. Once this happens, they can fully move forward while you also benefit as a coach.

Treasury appoints Lawrence Kibet as DG Public Investments and Portfolio Management https://t.co/QrRYsRw2b4

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

It is a give and take.

[G K M @GlenJeffKihanya]

@Belive_Kinuthia Murife run 🏃🏃🏃

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

To KK and Azimio, Teams need conflict in order to grow. You already have too much conflict. Now you need trust in each other to grow Kenya.

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

Azimio and Kk are both in a boat called Kenya. All their people (Kenyans) are in the same boat yet each side is drilling holes in the same boat oblivious of the fact that their people are in the same boat. Sad.

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

Hekima tupu.

[Dr. Ekuru Aukot @EAukot]

Wisdom galore!
Long live the Sheikh!

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

This MP's anger is deep. His tone of voice and body language speaks volumes. His utterances on TV and in kirinyaga are telling. Abusive language to Former PM is unbelievable. It police were none partisan, then we would have some justice. As it stands?

[Citizen TV Kenya @citizentvkenya]

Kimani Ichung’wah: The lord of violence was responsible for what happened yesterday at Northlands. I was cautioning Uhuru Kenyatta as leader and chair of Azimio and as the sole financier of the anarchy you have seen #NewsNight @WaihigaMwaura

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

Yes he should and all of us. Police confined and drove wananchi to burn it and the mosque. If they let them out to demonstrate, things would be different.

[Timothy Njoya @timothynjoya]

IF YOU ARE A FRIEND OF RAILA please inform him that his COMRADE-IN- ARMS REV. TIMOTHY NJOYA built the PCEA KIBIRA CHURCH that his MADAMANO people burned yesterday. The Germany Embassy gave me money to build that Church for use by Nursery Children. Can RAILA help me to rebuild it?

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

Very sand indeed. Chiloba stifled by constitution, now goons for hire. Where are we headed?

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

The state is to blame for what’s happening in Kibra. State operatives paid goons to attack journalists so they could leave Kibra then went in with a group of civilians from the same area to contain pro-Raila protestors. After the government's dirty work was done, the police left.

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

Great

[Clint Murphy @IAmClintMurphy]

By age 40, you should have a small circle of friends who talk about:

• Investing
• Early retirement
• Self-development
• Living their purpose
• Making the world better

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

And so is the body language.

[Pauline Njoroge @paulinenjoroge]

🤔 What is with his voice?

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

With Kenyan situation, What would happen if Kenyans were to exercised their constitutional right of recalling both parliaments for fresh elections,Carry out a referendum on if the the president should stay on or change leadership style. Mutahi?Legal minds? Your thoughts?

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

Yaa l agree. Educate the public. Unfortunately Bungei denial of a constitutional right to demonstrate already caused tention. These people been peaceful last how many rallies? This time had a delivery which was denied dismissively.

[Stephen Mutoro @smutoro]

I wish Raila Odinga would pick a few lessons from South Africa's Julius Malema on how a sane, decent and civilised demo can be conducted- without threat to lives and malicious destruction of property. Violent demos punish the innocent people. #DateWithDestiny20thMarch #Maandamano

[Jared Ouko @Jaredcoach]

What of if Ruto did the 3 things Raila is asking for? They are a concern to many. The more we ignore the 3, the more protesters and worse the economy will be.

[TheStarKenya @TheStarKenya]

Ruto should initiate dialogue with Raila - Kabando https://t.co/2OJeHExtnq
