A booming shadow industry of Twitter influencers for hire funded by faceless agencies has been behind the highly co-ordinated harassment and disinformation campaigns aimed at changing the country’s political direction as we head to the 2022 polls. - @NationAfrica
Twitter has suspended 100 users from Kenya after an investigation showed that their accounts had violated the platforms manipulation and spam policy through tweeting pre-determined hashtags meant to misinform the public or attack certain personalities.
The decision by Twitter was taken after a three-month investigation by American internet provision company Mozilla. The probe showed that Kenyan influencers are being paid between Sh1,000 to Sh1,500 to participate in three campaigns per day on Twitter.

2. Basic Structure Doctrine is applicable in Kenya.

3. The Constitution of Kenya is inoculated from the mischief of those (eg. The Handshake Bros) who would "design" a "popular" initiative - using state resources - in the form of an amendment bill that alters fundamental underpinnings of the COK.

WaKenya, just in:

Diaspora member @KaranjaMatindi (UK), the 2nd interested party, this morning filed a fresh application under a Certificate of Urgency for conservatory orders to prohibit President Uhuru from directing @IEBCKenya to conduct a referendum on BBI.

2. Until the Diaspora Voting Registration case E069/2020 filed by another Diasporan James Gitau (USA) is heard and determined. It prays for prohibition of IEBC from conducting any Election until it complies with the SCOK orders of 2015 & COA orders of 2014.

3. The SCOK & COK ordered the registration of the Diaspora as voters and file annual reports to National Assembly & the Senate. The passage of the BBI Constitution Amendment Bill (2020) by both Houses of Parliament Mbunge will render the instant suit moot.

BBI is the biggest political hoodwink ever. With horrific constitutional ramifications. Only one family will benefit. Bigly.

2. The #BBI hoodwink says the WaKenya have overwhelmingly cheered in support of the mutilation of the COK. That Legislators are humbly heeding the call of their electorate.

Not true 👇🏾

2020 exits. A year of global losses and distress. Of America Trumpism, of Kenya #BBI - both blindly amok, owners refusing their fault and flop. COVID funds thefts put Kenyan in new gluttony league. Yet thank God for HIS gifts & blessings amidst pains, trials and tribulations.
Those of us who initially supported #Handshake but turned against clearly deceptive #BBI were trolled, attacked. I was particularly accused, sadly, of being a Ruto agent or being bitter on ‘missing’ cabinet slot or being envious of another “rival” honcho. Lies. WE LET GOD JUDGE.
Truth is that I last talked to Ruto 2015 on aftermath of my stand #NYSHeist, though sustained efforts to reconcile lasted all yr2020. Contrarily, Fact: I’ve talked with Raila consistently to-date. He knows my honest, firm opposition on BBI faults. My published views UNAPOLOGETIC.

There is social democracy, and liberal democracy.

In social democracy, people actually participate in the decisions that affect them. Liberal democracy is where the people with power and money rule but provide rituals like elections to perform public consent. #Lindakatiba
What is amazing about #BBIreport is the determination to perform public consent even when the public doesn't agree. That's more worrying than the rigging of processes like signatures and referendums. Because what politicians are doing is showing us the finger. #lindakatiba
This #BBIfraud thing isn't just about the law. It's about our soul. It's about crushing us so that we don't have a leg to stand on.

That's why if the elites push this thing through, we should tell them it's theirs and we have no obligation to obey it. #lindakatiba

The Constitution of Kenya, a decade old, is the result of decades of struggle by ordinary Kenyans to assert the right to control their destiny and to wrest control from politicians and political dynasties.
