You took bullets for Kenyans.
LAW SOCIETY OF KENYA STATEMENT ON THE STATE OF THE NATION
Fellow Kenyans, once more we wake up to a sad day!
Extra-Judicial killings, incidents of police abductions, torture and being kept in communicado for several days, are back like never before!
Reports that we have received indicate that about 50 young Kenyans have so far been abducted including my own personal assistant Ernest Nyerere who was picked up from his residence this morning at 5:00am.
We are still looking for Shadrack Kiprono aka Shad Khalif, Osama Otero, Gabriel Oguda, John Frank Githiaka-Franje, Drey Mwangi, Worldsmith, Hilla254 and many more who we are yet to identify.
Our forefathers were taken through the same treatment by the white man in pre-independent Kenya but they never gave up. When the colonial courts jailed more than 500 Mau Mau supporters in September 1952 without legal representation, Argwings K’Odhek single handedly took on the formidable challenge of defending their (Mau Mau) rights by arguing in court that “Human rights are indivisible and universal thus, freedom cannot be appropriate in the West but inapplicable in Africa.”
Fellow Advocates and people of good will, Argwings K’Odhek set the bar for us and we must live up to his dream of a free and united Kenya.
But first, I have a message to the international community who for a second week running, remain quiet and tight lipped.
Are you proud of what is happening in Kenya? Is this your gameplan for Kenya as a non-NATO ally?
Rex Kanyike Masai was peacefully protesting last Thursday, June 20 when a trigger-happy individual shot him dead within the CBD and on the same day, Evans Kiratu was allegedly struck by a tear gas canister in his groin during the protests. Kiratu would later succumb to his injuries the following day at Kenyatta National Hospital.
The death of Rex Kanyike and Evans Kiratu happened just days after a chief inspector of police killed a magistrate during active court proceedings at Makadara Law courts in Nairobi.
Like Willie Kimani, the list of Kenyans killed by law enforcers keeps growing and we cannot continue to be silent. No, it cannot be a trend. Because today it is Rex and tomorrow they may come for me and the day after, you, who is watching or listening.
On February 24th in 1965, Pio Gama Pinto was killed for allegedly engaging the then-president Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in a shouting match over sessional paper no. 10 which virtually legalized capitalism in Kenya.
However, Pinto’s death was not the end of it all; the struggle has continued to this day. The seed of struggle that was planted by our nation’s freedom fighters continues to bear fruits to this day.
Dear Mr. President, if the spirit of struggle did not die with our forefathers who were enslaved, tortured, maimed and eventually killed, what makes you think that it can end today?
I have seen dismissive remarks by politicians and some government officials all over mainstream and social media about the role of Gen Z in shaping Kenya’s future. It seems a number of our leaders think that this is some kind of joke or a game that will soon end or simply fade away. Well, if that is so, then please note that we will no longer continue to be pawns in a game of chess.
The wave of police brutality on peaceful protesters, abductions and killings of innocent Kenyans has pushed us to review our approach and involvement in this noble campaign for Justice for all Kenyans.
We call upon all Advocates, other professional bodies and Kenyans of good will to stand up for this country. Let us stand for Peace, let Justice Be Our Shield and Defender.

PRESIDENT, LAW SOCIETY OF KENYA.
One day Raila went for a campaign rally in Nyeri County. Actually it was more of a dignified, very respectful meeting with local leaders and opinion shapers; the kind where speeches tend to be measured and serenity is paramount. Several of Uhuru's Cabinet Secretaries were present, as well as Governors, Senators and MPs.
In an attempt to rain at the parade and embarrass Raila, local Governor Mutahi Kahiga, stood up and told the Azimio leader to his face that he (Raila) was a man who went across the country telling a lot of history, and that Kikuyus were not interested in all that history. He assured Raila that he would lead Nyeri County and Kikuyuland into voting for someone who would work for them without regaling them with historical anecdotes.
"Sisi Wakikuyu tuko mbise in our chabas ad cannot risin to histore".
Clearly hurt but putting on a brave face, Raila later stood up to speak and told Kahiga two things;
1. Those who do not embrace our history and understand it will not understand our future, because correcting our historical mistakes was the foundation upon which we could build a future.
2. Those who don't listen to history will not know the past of some of the leaders they seek to vote for, and will put into power people whose tainted pasts represented an existential threat to the nation. He reminded Kahiga to remember these words in the future.
Today, Mutahi Kahiga is the face of the anti-Ruto and pro-Gachagua war in Kikuyuland. He has been telling us a lot about the history of Kikuyu betrayal in the Moi era. He has lamented that they elected someone with a bad history and now regret it. He says they should have listened to the king of history, Amolo son of Odinga. That history that Kahiga hated is the one he now tells us daily.
I wonder if he has picked up the phone and called Raila to apologise.
Call Mary Maingi, MP Mwea Constituency, Kirinyaga,

Report everything Larry. Add that this is going on while the president is presiding over a meeting to "improve the lives of Africans" and he has yet to say anything about the tragedies. Add that the first lady claimed that the rains are due to her prayers. Report everything!
