POURING FRUSTRATIONS ON INNOCENT KENYANS BY POLICE SHOWS A FRUSTRATED GROUP OF COWARDS.

Police beat Opposition protesters at University way Nairobi

It goes without doubt that the witnessed incidents during the Coalition for reforms and democracy (CORD) Anti –IEBC protests can only prove one thing that the Kenya Police is a frustrated group of cowards.

When a police officer who has sworn to protect the Kenyan citizen turns to be an animal and senselessly beat up the same citizen to a point of death, then you remain wondering why they need to exist in any case. A normal human being would not even think of it.

Incidents witnessed in the CORD anti-IEBC protests, protests that are otherwise enshrined in the constitution have left myself and indeed many people wondering why the police have to be this brutal while handling peacefully protesting Kenyans.

But something comes to mind, that these are the same police officers who are lowly paid in this country. Their salaries are never reviewed upwards, something comes to mind; that these are the same police officers that live in deplorable conditions, their housing is much wanting. Something comes to mind; that these are the same police officers who are not held in high esteem. Something comes to mind; that the police officers don’t get good treatment when it comes to promotions.

These are the frustrations that are now poured down on the common mwananchi. This can explain why a police officer would come running just to flog a protester who has already been corned by another officer then runs back to get another “prey” to ‘prey’ on.

We cannot allow our country to be militarized and be made a police nation with police terrorizing Kenyans like witnessed in Uganda. In my earlier articles, I have made it clear that we as Kenyans will never allow the democracy and peace that we enjoy in this country become like that which we experience in our neighboring Uganda.

Democracy is achieved through a lot of fights and struggle and if that is what it will take Kenyans to have it then we are up to the task. We will not allow our country be governed by a few individuals who think they can hold her at ransom at all time.

It should be clear and very clear to president Uhuru and people like Nkaissery that they cannot run this country the way they run their homestead. That they can one day wake up and pass laws and expect Kenyans to run by.

Nkaissery forgets fast that he was in Opposition and once held the same position with the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. He can’t forget that fast. We cannot be bought to sing the tune of Jubilee at all times. We will stand with our rights to the very end.

It has now become evident that the government has armed itself to terrorize its own citizens. Now we expect them to just that.
