Civil disobedience

http://www.ntv.co.ke
Members of the civil society were arrested on Thursday morning as they planned to stage street demonstrations to demand for the sacking of education minister Prof. Sam Ongeri and his permanent secretary Prof. Karega Mutahi over the free education scandal. Police had declared the demo illegal and pounced on the activists picking them up without resistance.

If the whole of Nairobi had poured out to the streets, then haki ya mungu, Kibaki might even have run away from state house. It happened in the Philippines.

The liberties Kenyans enjoy from the government are won by a few individuals like these ones who are not afraid to spend Christmas in a cell when they could easily be doing so in the comfort of their homes. I am ashamed that I and many Kenyans often don't do enough by way of action to get the Kenya we want and crave for.
