Kenyan gov't is senile...

Why are the Kenyan police tear-gassing peaceful demonstrations?

What is wrong with the government idiots - well, they are idiots... - that they order crackdowns of this nature?

Africa has a disease. It is the Big Man Syndrome. It effects are felt in Zimbabwe & Gabon. In Kenya & Uganda. In Libya & Egypt.

Who do they look upto? Pol Pot?

Anon,
Wacha upuzi! What shops were Maathai and Co. burning? Are you suggesting that all anti-gava demos should be prohibited?

coldtuske,
This is a government run by idiots who wouldn't recognise democracy if it kicked them in their nethers. A cabinet of 44?!! What the?! If that's what job creation means to them, wakae na hiyo Vision 2030!!

Gathara - Maathai's protests are peaceful but she has been persecuted by every government since dan 'thieving' moi's days...

Most kanu & ex-kanu politicians hate her since she fought against the grabbing of prime land by kanu.

She goes against the grain (in a good way) and this rubs the idiots the wrong way.

Wangari Maathai is reaping the fruits of her ill advised support for the Kibaki regime in its earlier years. Her newly found democratic convictions fly in the face of her record in Parliament.

Gathara - As most Kenyans Maathai thought the kibz govt was one for real change. It seemed to most of us that was so. She was appointed an asst minister since she had won the Nobel Prize but a powerless position.

Maathai fell out with the govt during the referendum. She campaigned for the 'NO' group. She was offered a post as asst minister but she did not take it up out of principle.

She lost the election (even though she supported PNU) since her constituents did not forget she went 'against' the GEMA position during the referendum.

coldtuske, Maathai excused a lot of the shenanigans of the Kibaki administration. For that, she has my eternal ingratitude!
