A group of National Super Alliance (Nasa) supporters this week staged demonstrations outside United Kingdom’s Parliament against recent crackdown on opposition leaders by President Kenyatta’s administration.
Led by ex-Kisumu Deputy Governor and Nasa leader Raila Odinga’s sister, Ruth Odinga the protesters took to the streets of UK capital, London carrying placards with anti-Jubilee government slogans, while condemning the persecution of opposition figures.
Ali Abdi, one of the organizers of the protests, accused Jubilee of taking the country back to the dark days where government critics were detained without trial.
“Many of us living in foreign countries experienced firsthand how Moi took advantage of the old constitution to curtail people’s rights and freedoms including unexplained disappearances of people who dared openly question his style of leadership,” said Ali.
He called on Kenyans to rise up and resist attempts to return Kenya into dictatorship.
“The possibility of going back to the KANU era is real if Kenyans fail to defend the constitution and hold leaders accountable,” said Ali Abdi.
Nasa-UK Assistant Secretary-General Ms. Janet Sutton said the government was violating the Constitution over arbitrary arrest of critics.
Last week, government launched a crackdown on opposition figures involved in the swearing-in of opposition chief Raila Odinga.
A number of arrests, withdrawal of security detail and firearms and revocation of passports are some of the actions the state has taken against the opposition leaders at the centre of the controversial inauguration ceremony.

Just male sure you don’t go to kenya with this nonsense. You will be deported like Miguna.

@Chokora you would rather go back to the dark days of dictatorship as long as your tribe is ruling? Be careful what you wish for. One day your children maybe in the opposition fighting for the constitution . They may be on the receiving end of a dictator

I will write a letter to United Kingdom parliament to show them how NASA is a terrorist organization in Kenya. It should be fought with weapons
The real danger is not JP…
The real danger is not JP going back to the old Kanu ways. The real danger is the militant attitude of the opposition, civil society and sections of the judiciary and legislative. If they fail to recognize their limits, then JP is left with no option but to adopt a similar militant attitude; but with the advantage of voter numbers and incumbency. Tone down your militancy and there shall be no reason for anyone to go rogue.
The late John Michuki once…
The late John Michuki once said in Parliament “If you rattle a snake, don’t complain if you get bitten.” These hooligans, the Odinga Demonic Morons, foolishly want their cake and eat it too!! Where else did Raila’s sister Ruth or Raila’s Al Shabaab General Abdi hear a loser swear himself in office solely to defy the government of the day and go scotch free without any repercussions? These dumb Luos and their Al Shabaab supporters all they know is to sit idle on their lazy asses or carry silly placards in the streets to provoke police. This time round these damn fools and their crazy god are lucky Mze Kenyatta or Moi are not the ones in power; else they could all be crying their asses off in detention cells. Freedom of speech and other rights protected in the constitution do not mean that the opposition has unrestricted freedom to swear themselves at will or create other acts of violence and intimidation. The government has mandate from most Kenyans to ensure political stability as well as law and order in our country. Opposition can’t have it both ways — cause chaos then cry foul when the government tries to maintain law and order. Ther crazy god is not above the law; and neither are his foot soldiers the likes of Miguna, Kajwang, Orengo, Mbadi and other blind morons around him.
Embarrassing!
Embarrassing!
@Mkenya halisi, you took the…
@Mkenya halisi, you took the words right out of my mouth. They have formed their own government (fake), and they say will form their own blah, blah, blah…so THAT government should provide all the trappings of security etc….wapumbavu. As for Ruth whatshername, her protests are not even trending on the local news in UK. UK have bigger fish to fry and usually do their research before jumping on an irrelevant bandwagon! Upuzi.

Nonsense! Ati Miguna says…
Nonsense! Ati Miguna says one cannot be deported without a process. Please talk to the people deported from the west without a “process” but just found to be illegally in the country. He knows his audience well, I give him that…ignorant lot that hangs on to his every word. Being objective as I am, the Kenyan authorities should never have given him an I.D as that contradicts their current argument. I give him that – he is right. It goes full circle to my argument that Kenya’s kitu kidogo is the bane of us.
