Yesterday we had dinner with a couple of Uhuru damu supporters.. Please note UK and not Ruto. There was a lively debate over the new and "very good anti terror laws" according to them.
Imagine my disappointment when I learnt that non of the empty debes had even read a single clause of the amendments!
I could hardly disguise my disappointment, it was even more disappointing to watch them watching me in amazement calling out specific danger areas (thanks to Omollo's serialisation).
This is what we are dealing with online.
Mungikis that haven't read the amendments to our Bill of Rights, and are very ignorant and oblivious of the repercussions for themselves if a non GEMA acquired such powers. You should have seen their beady eyes when I brought up the similarities drawn from the dangerous issue of an imperial presidency in the period just before Kenyatta Sr died and Arap Moi's perfect inheritance.
"Bryan, I am going to read that law, it sounds very dangerous for ALL of us" Said the staunchest supporter of the new laws. Please note that this chap feels that "Kenyans are not ready for freedom max" Eti we need a dictator to control us he said. But was lost for words when shown that Kenya enjoyed massive growth with Mr Kibaki the Hands off President's first term. Cue - Even more beady eyes...
Such morons.
I just wanted to say thanks for the informative discussions here, I was well armed for that discussion... my missus was impressed and felt like she was indeed on the right side of history... she even managed to lob a few second hand Nipate.org informed barbs across the table... it was hilarious...
