The unfortunate events in @Senate_KE are a very dangerous early warning signal of the open role of security forces in determining the political and public affairs trajectory in #Kenya.

The threats and intimidation to @Senate_KE due to revenue sharing basis has a serious chilling effect. It is a direct assault on the Constitution and democracy. It signals dangerous days ahead for every Kenyan.

This is no longer a Senate matter. This is coming in heels of the military takeover in Nairobi City County.

This has nothing to do with security laws. It is a calculated disingenuous gradual process of militarization of the Kenya state and politics. It is a mirror and smoke a smarter way to consolidating an authoritarian rule.

The end result is creating an effective competitive-authoritarian state through 2022 election. It started with Uhuru Kenyatta taking advantage of #Covid19KE pandemic to create a strong Administrative-Security State.

#Kenyans must boldly reject this despicable plot. The liberty and freedoms you enjoy maybe switched off soon.
This is the moment alternative must emerge and provide country direction. Otherwise 2022 might not be there.
