Let My People GO

Target:

Kenyan Government Authorities

Sponsored by:

The police once again in complete defiance of our Freedom of Assembly rights have arrested members of Bunge La Wananchi in the hope of intimidating them. This is the continuation of the attacks on civil society.

On 9th September 2008, at around 1.20 pm 4 armed police with riot gear believed to be from from Central Police Station came to Jeevanjee Gardens. Upon their arrival 3 plainclothes policemen who had been seated undetected under a tree as part of the people in Jeevanjee Gardens, joined them and ordered people around to pair up and walk with them to Central Police Station.

19 innocent Kenyans have been detained. We are appealing to people who value freedom to sign this petition demanding the immediate release of our fellow Kenyans and a public apology and end to intimidation by the government authorities.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION AND FORWARD TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.

You can also send a direct letter of protest to the following:

- Prime Minister Raila Odinga - railaodinga@yahoo.com

- The Police Commissioner: commissioner@police.go.ke

- Police Spokesman: spokesman@police.go.ke

- Complaints: complaints@police.go.ke

- Customer Care Desk: customercare@police.go.ke

Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly these are some of the rights that we as Kenyans should fight for .the same people we elected, the same people we run to, the same people who claim their slogan is "Utumishi Kwa Wote" these are the people who infringe on these rights and its about time we stand and claim for these rights because we are free and freedom we did attain so Enough we say Enough! Let us build a free Kenya for the next generation to enjoy, let us leave an example to our kids and let us show the world that Kenyans are free indeed.

Chapter V of the Constitution of Kenya guarantees ALL KENYANS, civil liberties. Kenyans must stand up for their rights. We cannot sit back and watch our Government continue to abuse the rights of members of Bunge La Wananchi and other Kenyans with Impunity. The people of Kenya demand the immediate restoration of Constitutional order in our Country. Unlike, the generation born prior to independence, Majority of Kenyans were born FREE and into a Constitution.

Freedom is a precious commodity. Whatever goes out returns. We walk in another man's shoes because the other man is in reality ourselves. No one can hide what they do. It is registered in the akeasha records. So, whatever way you treat another being, you yourself, in some life time will experience the same. So, stand up for others and enjoy healthy, hapyy, attunement with your inner self and spirit. Immediately, better results will return, for better causes you put out. www.mysteries.net

This is outrageous and unacceptable. It violates the Kenyan Constitution, and all the human rights protocols which Kenya is signatory to. Commissioner Ali, you should be aware that Kenyans across the world hold you accountable for police violence and abuses of ordinary Kenyans.

I am a fervent supporter and member of Kenyans for Peace Truth and Justice and Bunge ya Wanainchi. Having witnessed the blatant betrayal of the democracy last December and rampant disregard of Kenyans right to assemble by which even the progressive forces in government failed to support I believe the struggle in Kenya has reaches an imperative stage. Wanainchi must unite to defend these inviolable rights for which too much blood has already been spilt. Tukopamoja

The much oppressed Bunge La Mwananchi stands out in keeping the flame of accountability alive on the issue of government waste and corruption. Agenda 4 will not be achieved if citizens have no space to ventilate grievances. The treatment meted out on Bunge La Mwananchi and other civil society cannot be what was intended by the National Accord - or was it?

Since the last 3 months a shadowy firm by the name of Cuigare Enterprises has taken over the management of Jeevaqnjee Gardens. Efforts by Friends of Jeevanjee Gardens to get more information have so far been unsuccessful. It is very possible that the Gardens are being 'vacated' with very sinister motives. Who is authorising the arrests and the takeover? We need to dig deeper.
