At this point, it would be good for Kenya if Raila himself was abducted and never seen or heard from again…ever
Of course it’s criminal and primitive. What Raila needs to be asked is what he is going to do to prevent it. Condemning things is easy, everyone does that, and whoever is doing it just ignores the noise. Since the police say it’s not them, (the IG did), abductors should now be treated as armed criminals and be dealt with by the public. 4 men cannot overwhelm a town. Watasema wametumwa na nani.
End of nonsense.
Rao siku hizi ameanxa kuwa irrelevant.
What can he do besides condemning it anyway?
Withdraw his support, but he’s already put himself in a trap with the AUC bid, so he can’t do it. His current situation doesn’t even make sense.
Withdrawing his support doesn’t stop those actions. At this point, those actions can only be stopped by Ruto himself. It is possible those overly eager kidnappers are working at the behest of Rutos henchmen. It is ruto who can call them to order because in the long run, it is his presidency that is taking a hit.
Political lanye anasumbua
I wonder what the endgame to all this is. If it doesn’t stop, it will boil over to a volatile situation where vigilantes will start coalescing against the abductors, and many people will die. They’ve grown very brazen, snatching people in broad daylight, then the denials follow, and they are never found. People are fed up of those stories, and no one is taking responsibility. You can only intimidate people for so long. Now that the IG says those people aren’t known to the police, and he seems unable to find them, imagine if their vehicle gets blocked and the public pull them out–afterall, if they are not police, who are they?
When people know their lives are in danger and no one is coming to protect them they’ll do desperate things. No one can sustain that Stalinist way of killing dissent in 2024. No one thought the events of June 25th were even possible. This is playing with fire.
The cookie will crumble from within like it always does. Kenyans are a little timid, especially nairobians. But you can not blame them for not being ready to help… imagine how much trouble driving an accident victim to hospital gets one in nowadays. Deep down none of us wants any trouble, but it seems like we will have to do it anyways.
I watch keenly how the supposed gen z are behaving and turning against each other online. Thats the main reason it’s going to be difficult to go against ruto… they are against anyone and everyone, and you can not tell who is genuine, and who is not. So yes, we have a situeshen that should be dealt with soonest, but we are unlikely to do it with our disunity. Even Okiya is being blamed for some of the kidnappings with people claiming he is in on the game with ruto. So who are we going to trust?
There was a time even armed thugs would think twice before attacking someone in town. Kenyans are behaving like a herd of wildebeest faced by just one lion. Those people should not dare touch someone in a crowded place hata kama wamebeba nini. Watu huogopa kwa sababu kila mtu anajua he’s on his own. That needs to change, being picked up is now a matter of life and death. Those people are criminals; if not, they should identify themselves and say what they are doing. This is not a normal time anymore.
Abductors wana tafuta the silhouette kasongo artist probably…
Kwani drawing inaua mtu? Watu wawe serious, those who are doing those things. Maisha ya binadamu si ya kuchezea, ati watu wanachukuliwa, wanapotea, na hiyo inaisha tu hivo, ndio wewe uendelee kuishi kwa raha, usisumbuliwe. Hiyo hapana, hata Mungu atalaani siku zako za kuishi. Hawezi kubali uishi vizuri.
One thing for sure is that these abductors are like hyenas. When feeding them they will dance to your tune. Then later wen the food is deminished they will come for the main character. It’s just a matter of time before their sender becomes their victim. It’s sad n scary tht human being can disappear without a trace in a sovereign democratic country. I doubt the speed at which the national police service has come out to deny any involvement in this
Hawa rogue police/henchmen/hired goons wacha wanimalizie hapo kwa barabara mbele ya watu but kuingia kwa gari na polisi nayo siwezi. It’s safer to be abducted by a thug than a cop.
Rao ni ghaseer sana fake PR moves.
