I don't like Alai. In fact I think Alai and Dennis Itumbi are just pathetic soles (not a spelling mistake) and represent the negatives in our culture.
But you had better be damn sure that your support for what is going on here is absolutely dangerous to you when you are posting on Wazua.
I have had to edit the above 3 paragraphs 3 times to ensure I don't entrap myself with non-existent criminal clauses.
Lets start with the so called
He is under arrest for violating sections 26, 29 and 30 of the Act,” said Kamwende.
So can you be arrested based on non-existent laws?
I know a lot of you are very young and never lived in the land of Moi. So your jumping up and down simply because you hate Alai is not wise.
Any law that transfers the onus of proof to the accused is a bad law meant to trample on your rights.
What happens if RAO becomes president and chooses Alai to be public spokesman and he sends the cops to you simply because he didn't like what you tweeted and posted on wazua.
Be very very careful what you wish for.
This is why I will quit Wazua. I don't know if this thing is not being run by the cops or one of the political parties.
Here I am writing what I think to be the truth as I know it. Then wazua admin decides that I've gone too far and sends cops to my house to send me a message.
Please note, Alai was not arrested because of being uncouth, and annoying as many of you here are suggesting. He is in court because someone somewhere was annoyed, inconvenienced, and caused needless anxiety. That describes your boss.
If we took to court everyone who abused us or made us annoyed, or said something that was untrue about us, we would never try rapists.
At some point in your online career you have broken section 29 of that law. Of course not according to yourself but someone somewhere can take you to court for saying something like I'm a happy guy. So be scared, be very scared as you never know who will be weilding the powers the next time you write. It could be Alai.
And I now go back to my exile.
Word.
And @alma nuanced discussions surprisingly tend to go over the heads of enough people in Wazua.
