Madam Admin,
If this was 5 years ago, there could be Wazuans who would be looking at Ndii's arrest as a piece of a giant jigsaw puzzle that most Kenyans cannot and will never see. They would be driving the conversation trying to figure out where the piece belongs in the big scheme of things.
Make no mistake, the occasional ignoramus would crash the party, loud and uncultured, and the wise men would pull back. He (the ignoramus) would not even see the jigsaw puzzle let alone know where to place the puzzling piece. His grasp of issues was/is always karumaindo-ish. And he would claw back quietly to the dark hole of ignorance he came from.
And that is how wazua became the Runda of internet forums. When one of those "downtown" forums was closed, their members could not fit in here.
Now the wise men went quiet. And the "karumaindo" gang drives the conversations.
As auditors, we have a standard called ISA 570. It requires the auditor to assess the ability of an entity to continue operating as a going concern.
This is Hubris. I have never claimed to be a wise man. But we have had contributors in wazua who always left me in awe. Guys who would always give a perspective that we can never read in newspapers. @masukuma's thoughts on culture are in a class of their own. I once took a serious client for lunch and the discussion went to matters of culture. I "borrowed" and shared @masukuma's material with him and that old man has never looked at me the same way. He has invited me severally to join his social circle. Right now we know Ndii was arrested. I would want to read whether the ODPP can realistically bring a solid case against him. Not the political theatrics. We have so many questions. Does it mean the govt is worried about the people's assembly ? If not, what message was the govt sending by arresting him. Who was the message intended for ? And so many more. We used to get answers to such questions before. And very illuminating perspectives. Not any more. I am meeting a couple of guys in the afternoon. When Ndii's matter comes up for discussion, all I have is @harrydre's Karumaindo opinion. Calling @harrydre's input karumaindoish is exactly the kind of hubris Amores is referring to. You have appointed yourself the judge of other people's opinions, in effect decreeing what has weight and what doesn't without countering or dissecting the substance of the argument. Its cleverly crafted, dog-whistle invective reeking of pretentious standoffishness. He can go and sit on a pin. Plotting to overthrow a democratically elected government or swearing in a parallel one is Treason as per the laws of the land punishable by death. Kama nyinyi ni wanaume, try it on the 12th tuone. i.am.back!!!!
