I'd like to talk on a topic many bloggers are shying off from for their own reasons. Today @C_NyaKundiH will be charged for 'spreading malicious rumours' on Ruaraka Sh10B land scam, this will be his 7th case in court under 2 weeks.
What's happening to Cyprian is what you call state harassment, even the worst of criminals aren't trumped with charges, arrested & re arrested as they've done to him.

For those who don't conform with his style, it is okay & this normalization should worry every SM user.
A cybercrime bill is about to assented to by the president & just then we will understand the value of freedom when it's gone.

How do you arrest someone on an Ruaraka land scam yet the document is publicly available & before Parliament & Senate? Githu,Matiang'i,Swazuri, why?
I'm not here to absolve anyone neither support Cyprian but here to say that we must not normalize the state harassment & silencing tactics coz sooner or later, it will boomerang & then we won't demand accountability without arrests then you'll realize we were all targeted.
It has escalated into attack on freedom of speech & protecting a class, many easily excuse the harassment in Nyakundi coz its on him & not them. I have news for you.

When they're done with him, it will be now me & you. The bigger pic is blocked from your view.
They might eventually succeed in silencing Nyakundi coz I predict his exit from social media altogether on his release & then what? You think they'll stop? No they'll come for those still vocal & poking holes.

We're making bloggers enemies while billion thieves in suits friends.
Freedom of speech and expression and taking of leaderships into accountability is in jeopardy, don't minimize this into personalities.

As I say & we will revisit this, you'll realize that the problem isn't really Nyakundi but a class that's being protected from scrutiny.
What happens after cybercrime law with draconian bits is passed i bet you think oh the 'malicious' bloggers will be put in their places? Well news flash, we're all going down coz that law will control conversations & limit your freedoms. It will be business unusual.
