But Alas! Kenyans Come Out To Support Robert Alai!
Controversial blogger and rabble rouser Robert Alai -whom i admittedly do not always see eye-to-eye with- has presented himself at the C.I.D headquarters. I salute that decision. it is better to walk in as a man than be dragged in like an animal.
Alai is allegedly being sought to answer to claims that he participated and promoted hate speech and made false accusations about Francis Kimemia, the cabinet secretary and head of Kenya’s civil service. Personally, i think it is brave of him to stand up for what he believes and to do so when he is speaking out against the government. With that said, the way he seeks to pass his claims is usually detrimental to the message he tries to pass across.
But with that said and done, Kenyans have started a twitter hashtag to support and call for the release of Robert Alai. others however are calling for punitive action to be taken against Robert Alai.
Get in the know by following the unfolding story on Twitter at #SomeoneTellKimemia and #ReleaseAlaiNow.
