Watch the space

I do not like to give too much credence where its not due.

So I wouldn’t assume the current administration capable of grandiose conspiracy that it has assumed credit for these past few weeks.

So I would approach their actions with the simpleton minds that they could have used to conjure up such blatant autocracy through legislations. Or the pseudo spiritedness that money has bought it pseudo intellectuals.

One this is a government composed largely of those who voted or campaigned against the constitution. That for fact negates all the rhetoric’s they have spewed about its protection or abiding by it.

From the onset they have craftily wedged in bit by bit of legislative amendments to all crucial laws that gave the constitution the pomp it celebrated. Alterations to legislations on the media, the AG vs Public Prosecutor, the NGOs, the police are all but examples of this attack.

And while these facets that had Kenyans excited are being ripped apart, the countrymen are being inured to hate the constitution and thus allow its manipulation without question.

The lack of immediacy in benefits as police continue on their rampage with little of the promised reading of Miranda rights before arrests as well as enduring corruption has not helped either. Hard realities have also hit out at enthusiasm to the document as chapters like integrity seemingly a foot in the mouth, Kenyans have been drawn from the crucial piece of national agreement.

Then when probably the Chinese gave secret conditions for a state to state loan to do us a railway they could find no fitter section to apportion blame. It is no secret that after Greece austerity measures will always be part of loan agreements to ensure little chances of default.

When SRC was drafting national pay was it ignorant of the wage bill. In fact the problem came to fore when perks of the bloated legislature were being discussed. The same legislature that this government went ahead and awarded hefty perks.

What instead they are doing is that they are driving this rhetoric to discount the constitution as the organ that has bloated the wage bill.

They do not say that it is the government which has retained the administrative structure that was supposed to be replaced by constitutional office holders which has created double offices. They do not say that they awarded legislatures hefty pay that prompted county representatives to equally demand rational distribution all the way to the counties. They neither indicate that it is probably a requirement of the Chinese loan to retrench and since it is government to government thou must not question anything.

The onslaught on the constitution and alienation of the people I is supposed to protect will suit their power agenda. They have outdid themselves at that.

I would however not also give them the benefit of forecast as that too they lack

In a year with increased unemployment trough retrenchment, increased unemployment through closing down of struggling NGOs, increased unemployment through elimination of labour costs by the large infrastructural ‘legacy’ and spiraling violence; then the country is damned.

Institution of military police, ordering shoot to kill to ‘protect property’ would not stop anarchy as crime in numbers will always overwhelm even the most systemic law enforcement. This government is courting revolution.
