The day GoK and the Kangaroo institution called Parliament begin to treat Kenyans abroad with respect is the day I will sign up. For now, that information will not help the Kenyans but will be turned over to vested interests. Here are the reasons:
1. Parliament remains hostile to Kenyans abroad. That is why it has passed legislation that denies these Kenyans the very rights that other Kenyans enjoy. They are second class citizens:
(a) Dual Citizens have their civil rights grossly limited
(b) Kenyans abroad may not easily run for elective office on account of residence requirements imposed by Parliament
(c) Kenyans who lose citizenship also have their land rights limited
2. The NIS routinely listens to international calls and has a long list of Kenyans it targets. This is illegal as they are not allowed to do this without warrants obtained after showing probable cause. They have mountains of information stored and which it shares with foreign security agencies. Most of this information was used to effectuate rendition of Kenyans and carry out Extra Judicial Killings (EJK).
3. Kenya has lately upped Extra Judicial Killings. These killings are carried out without the victim being heard and may well be based on secret and unverified denunciations (Communist style). In an evil partnership, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, have been cooperating in the elimination of each others undesirables. Kagame of Rwanda has been most active and effective, going as far as South Africa and Europe to make short business of his opponents. I can only imagine Uhuru Kenyatta salivating at the prospect of neutralizing those he recently cited during the last Mashujaa Day.
