University student jailed for insulting President Uhuru Kenyatta

FRIDAY JANUARY 2 2015



A fourth-year university student will spend two years in jail for posting on social media unprintable insults against President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Alan Wadi Okengo, alias Lieutenant Wadi, was accused of posting the messages on his Facebook account on December 18 and 19 at an unknown place within Kenya.

Wadi, 25, a political science student at Moi University, was arrested as he attempted to sneak out of the country through the Busia border on December 31.

He was brought back to Nairobi CID headquarters where he was interrogated by cybercrime police sleuths.

Wadi, who looked composed, told Milimani Law Courts resident magistrate Ms Ann Kaguru that he was ready to “apologise to President Kenyatta personally if he was not handed down a custodial sentence.”

The charge against the university student stated that “the message he sent was calculated to to bring into contempt the lawful authority of the President of the Republic of Kenya.”

That was different, my friend! The guy was arrested and charged for hate- speech, not for CRITICIZING the govt.
He insulted the president, calling him unprintable words....in reference to his mother.

He went further to call for the deportation of all the members of Kenyatta's tribe into concentration camps......or worse.
That is illegal.

It wasnt the govt that even had him caught and charged. It was the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), an independent body whose role is to combat such inflamatory statements on the internet, radio, print media and politicians on public podium.

Look at how Kenyans even call the president an idiot online, and nobody had been penalized for that.

Mhadhiri Chuo Kikuu akamatwa kwa kumkashfu Rais Magufuli mtandaoni
8 months ago Comments Off on Mhadhiri Chuo Kikuu akamatwa kwa kumkashfu Rais Magufuli mtandaoni
Makali ya Sheria ya Makosa ya Mtandao ya mwaka 2015 yameendelea kuwakata wanaotuhumiwa kuivunja ambapo wiki hii mhadhiri wa Chuo Kikuu Kishiriki cha Elimu cha Mkwawa (Muce), Dkt. Oscar Magavi amekuwa miongoni mwa watu kumi waliokamatwa tangu ianze kutumika..

Kamanda wa Polisi Mkoa wa Iringa, Julius Mjengi aliwaambia waandishi wa habari kuwa jeshi hilo lilimtia mbaroni Dkt. Magavi akiwa Sumbawanga na baadae kumrudisha mkoani humo, baada ya kubainika kuwa alitenda kosa hilo Septemba 15 mwaka huu akiwa Iringa.

Hata hivyo, Kamanda Mjengi hakuweka wazi maneno aliyoyatumia mhadhiri huyo wa chuo kikuu yanayodaiwa kumkashifu Rais Magufuli akieleza kuwa bado wanaendelea na upelelezi.

Dk. Magavi amekuwa mtuhumiwa wa 10 kukamatwa na jeshi la polisi kwa tuhuma za makosa ya kimtandaoni ambapo watuhumiwa wengine wanaendelea na kesi mahakamani.

Mapema mwezi Juni, Mahakama ya Hakimu Mkazi Arusha ilimhukumu kwenda jela miaka mitatu au kulipa faini ya shilingi milioni saba Isaac Emily baada ya kumkuta na hatia ya kumtusi Rais John Magufuli mtandaoni. Kijana huyo alilipa faini hiyo na kuahidi kutorudia kosa hilo.

Na vipi ya yule minister for information kuwa sacked, tena kwa bunduki juu alihitilafiana kidogo kimaoni na nani yule. That one amounted to abuse of power!

Walishitakiwa mahakamani na wakahukumiwa kwa kumtukana Rais, kuna mmoja aliita Rais bwege na zuzu (maneno ambayo hawezi kumwambia baba yake).
Aliyemtukana Rais Magufuli Ahukumiwa Miaka 3 Jela

Waziri aliyetenguliwa alienda kinyume na utaratibu wa kiserikali, pia alionesha kuwatetea wauza dawa za kulevya kwa namna moja au nyingine.
 

Rights groups put Kenya govt on the spot over rising attacks on journalists

By FRED OLUOCH

Posted Wednesday, May 31 2017 at 14:15



The media in Kenya is increasingly finding it difficult to conduct its operations due to rising threats from government.

A new report written jointly by the Human Rights Watch and Article 19, which monitors threats to free expression across the globe notes that Kenyan authorities have committed a range of abuses against journalists reporting on sensitive issues.

The groups note that threats against journalists have increased to levels not seen in the past decade, a factor that is critical at a time the country is preparing for general elections slated for August.

“Journalists and bloggers reporting on corruption, disputed land acquisitions, counterterrorism operations and the 2007-2008 post-electoral violence, among other sensitive issues, have faced intimidation, beatings, and job losses,” the report notes.



Abuses

Titled Not Worth The Risk: Threats To Free Expression Ahead of Kenya’s 2017 Elections, the 53-page report catalogues abuses by government officials, police, county governors and government officials against the media.

“For Kenya’s August elections to be credible and fair, the media needs to be able to report on pressing issues of national interest without fear of reprisals, ”said Otsieno Namwaya, Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch. "President Uhuru Kenyatta should publicly underscore the importance of free expression and condemn threats and attacks on journalists and bloggers."

Investigations were conducted over a period of four months involving interviews with 92 journalists, human rights activists, bloggers and government officials in Kenya.

The groups list 17 incidents in which 23 journalists and bloggers were physically assaulted between 2013 and 2017 by government officials or their allies.

At least two journalists have died under circumstances that may have been related to their work.



Death threats

The groups also documented 16 incidents of direct death threats against journalists and bloggers across the country in recent years, and cases in which police arbitrarily arrested, detained and later released without charge at least 14 journalists and bloggers.

For example on September 7, 2016, unidentified assailants forced themselves into the house of a photojournalist, Denis Otieno in the town of Kitale in Kenya's Rift Valley and demanded photos on his camera, then shot him dead.

Mr Otieno had photographed police officers shooting and killing a motorcycle taxi rider at a Kitale bus station days earlier.

A family member said that before his murder, Mr Otieno had expressed alarm about death threats.

No one has been arrested in relation to his killing.

“We must stem the tide of increased violence and impunity against journalists in Kenya. No policy to address the situation can be successful if measures to prevent aggression against and to protect journalists are not accompanied with thorough and timely prosecutions of all crimes committed against them,” said Henry Maina, regional director at Article 19 Eastern Africa.
