The Church Has Become Reactionary
« on: December 10, 2014, 03:56:49 PM »
I have the misfortune to see Cardinal Njue again display his trade mark partisanship and lack of foresight (since vooke will a few years from now allege 'hindsight'). He is advocating for the quick enactment of unconstitutional laws that will limit basic freedoms, muzzle the media while offering zero benefits to the fight against terror.

What exactly would the publication of photos of dead people do to harm the fight against terror? The ban will be effective  against Kenya based media (perhaps) but thanks to the internet, the same pictures will be available to virtually everybody in Kenya. The proposed law demands that to publish such photos, one has to seek the permission of the dead victim!

I assume the glee with which the Christian clergy has approached this lies in the new powers to the police to close any place of worship. I wonder why they need a law when they have been closing mosques in Kenya without any need for a new law.

The sad thing is that these proposed laws all contravene the constitution that is barely four years old.

I can't help but draw parallels: Jomo Kenyatta too started by limiting the rights of Kenyans. He then discovered he could not do that while the constitution was intact. Thus he started amending it slowly by slowly until by 1978 a few months before his death, a bill was being prepared to make his President for Life. How I miss Archbishop Gitari, Bishop Alexander Kipsang Arap Muge, Archbishop Okullu, Cardinal Otunga, Bishop Mwana A'Nzeki? These were men of principles.

I saw the story about the bill.  There is a deafening silence about corruption.  The real reason why Kenya can be hit anywhere anytime.

The US worked around the clock to arrest circulation of 911 Jumpers videos and photos. It never worked for the most part. That was in 2001. Now in this era of smart phones dirt cheap from Kung Fu, most of the Law is BS sandwich

But Omorlo can do better than find fault with his nemesis. Is he the only one saying nothing about it or are you just carrying grudge?
2 Timothy 2:4  No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

It's part grudge and its part establishing a pattern. Njue never acts altruistically.

The church has been eaten alive by tribalism.

Indeed tribalism has taken over the church.
I miss the days of the vibrant former Nandi churchman who used to get into Mois nerves until Moi got rid of him. Forgot his name.

Thanks. Its Muge. Moi killed him.
If you check the Jubillee elite, they protect each other very well. They use all avenues to do that including the independent media.
