Dear President Kibaki:
On March 2, 2006 government forces raided the headquarters and printing plant of the Standard Group. In addition to destroying equipment and newspapers, they shut down the KTN news station.
This latest attack follows the jailing of three journalists from Standard Newspaper, attacks on Citizen Weekly, and ongoing harassment of journalists by government-sponsored forces.
I urge you to condemn these attacks and to support freedom of the press and call for the immediate release of the journalists.

Kibaki will be judged by what he has done, oops I take that back, I mean what he has not done as far as being leader of this country. He has proven time after time, incapable of taking control of any situation, let alone his own wife. I don’t understand how a man without control of his own backyard got to assume this high office we call the presidency. How he got to where he is amazes me, I’m even more amazed by the pain and conflict his incompetence cost our Nation. I believe our leadership is not representative of our national face and should be abolished. Indeed I am not promoting violence in any way, but freedom and national harmony must reign at all costs. Any forces against this means must be trampled without regard to who the oppressor is. In my opinion, what we need is a rebirth with a new face, new blood, young blood and a new beginning. The dogs have taken our country and it is time for the true patriots to steer us back on-course. Let us not sit and wait for 2007, action toward this new transformation begins today. Every Kenyan with a clean conscience can play a role; we can boycott state functions and leave them to the dogs, the civil service can seek mass action. Any entity in support of the current regime should be shunned and not patronized. We can all speak with one voice and send the dogs to their kennels where they belong.
I fully support this. If I had a blog I’d definitely post it.
