Hatespeech: Why Isn’t The Government Acting? Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied!

I am sick and tired of the political rhetoric and empty threats being issued by government apparatus about hate speech. We have been entertained to spectacularly orated verbal circuses and we have heard that investigations are ongoing but we have not really seen anything worth writing home about. Hate speech has become such a nightmare that even we at ghafla!Kenya had to focus on eradicating from the site and facebook page. Read about that here.

To me, all this has been a smoke screen. No one cares and nothing will happen. If there was any real action, there wouldn’t be pages such as Mjinga Mkuu Raia Odinga. There wouldn’t be any disgusting ethnic vitriol being spewed. and what is scary is the fact that those perpetrating the worst forms of tribal hate speech are young people.

It is no longer the old foggies speaking trash, it’s the young generation. And that is scary. If the next generation is so unbelievably tainted, there is almost no hope. Which is why i am advocating for punitive action against Gwhiz Steve.

That is the administrator of the page i mentioned earlier. I am all for freedom of speech but it is never meant to undermine national cohesion. that constitutes abuse of civil liberties. The hate speech follows the usual path of circumcision and theft. It is time for the authorities to actually take a stand. stop shirking around and actually arrest these hate mongers who are threatening the very fabric that holds this country together: cohesion. maybe you should have a look at Caroline Mutuko’s rules of engagement on how to combat hate-speech here.

Uncle Chim Tuna is done ranting.
