The Kasongo Government signed a “defence deal” with France allowing French troops to operate inside Kenya.
And now a Parliament report has confirmed it, while trying to amend two of some dangerous clauses partially.
Let that sink in.
At a time when African countries are expelling French military presence, Kenya is opening the door.
The deal is too open and risky.
Highlights :
If a French soldier commits a crime in Kenya , France can detain them and not Kenya
France can influence jurisdiction.
If France rushes a trial (even unfairly), Kenya may NEVER prosecute again - That is reduced sovereignty.
The deal allows “training and other activities.”
What exactly are “other activities”..???
Why so vague..???
We’ve already seen what happens with the BATUK.
Community harm and even deaths.
Environmental damage by the British using white phosphorus munitions.
No Accountability for criminal Activities.
(..Eg: the Wanjiru Case where the murderer is being protected in the UK …)
Now we’re repeating it , with the French military..???
Across Africa: Mali , Burkina Faso have all cut ties with French forces over these exact concerns.
So why is Kenya going backwards..???
And the bigger fear …
Kenya risks becoming a base for foreign military operations in Africa because the French are good at this.
We could be dragged into conflicts that are not ours.
Why are we signing deals we would NEVER be allowed to have in Europe..??
Why can’t Kenyan forces operate in France the same way..??? Because they would never accept it.
Its all happening because the decision to allow/reject is dependent on one man and not Kenyans via their representatives in parliament.
And one who decides has almost certainly personally been paid good money by France and their is nothing the people’s representatives in parliament can do about it.
Kenyans can do nothing about this. The people we elected to speak for us have all been bought and can not even dare to speak against it because the know money has been paid to Ruto by france.
We welcome the french in kenya. They should build a military base in kenya and have their warships pale mombasa or lamu port. The more super powers in kenya the better. Its always good to host powerful friends.
Elect someone with a better sense of patriotism. The problem is that not all Kenyans see through the fact that Kasongo is determined to be the richest person in Africa, with Dangote a distant second.
If he was paid enough, he could relocate all residents in Nandi to Marsabit to make room for the French army in Upper Rift
Add this, Kasongo and his government approved to allow Israelis to settle in Kenya, wanapewa ni 500 acres.. siko sure can. Someone please confirm. Kasongo is just selling anything… usishangae TUSHAPIGWA bei.. ni our buyers hawajatukujia bado
