Tribute to the Late. Archbishop David Gitari a freedom fighter for Democracy and human Rights.
The last time I met Bishop
Gitari Was in Limuru 2B meeting, last year 2012 As he was one of the Gikuyu
voice of reason who sided with poor youth against the well oiled
Gikuyu religious leaders who supported Gema idea of uniting with one
candidate Uhuru in 2013 general election, While other Mt. Kenya
religious leaders opted for Prayer meeting for the ICC suspect...Gitari
remained a voice of reason....a tradition that mark his life in struggle
for democracy and human
rights.
Limuru 2B meeting Bishop Gitari in the Middle.
Another
reflective moments is 2010 at Kinoo Parish during Katiba Day
cerebration , Where he give a sermon on the struggle of the new
constitution...and the price paid by comrade in struggle to widen
democratic space in Kenya, Athough Bishop Gitari that day didt welcome
my demand for
Charles Njojo to apologize on his Role in creating one party
dictatorship in Kenya indeed he appreciated my courage speak against
what embodied Sir Charles Njojo the historical role in planting
seeds of social injustices and political assassinations in Kenya..
...That Willy Mutunga, Kamau Kuria Prof Anyang Nyong ...Paul Muite ...Raila Odinga and
Martha Karua , could not say to Sir Charles Njojo on his face that day
When they were given a chance to speak by Rev, Njoya...even knowing the whole truth on the role of Charles Njojo in the creating Kenyatta dictatorship and ethnic politics.
History will have glorious chapters for Rev. Gitari as a soldiers of Democracy who died with his credentials of human rights and freedom fighters, that our generation can cerebrate as beacon of hope ...in our future as we struggle against ethenic and racial mobilization in Kenya.
(A replie from anonymous Mzungu on my tribute to Rev. Gitari.)
Gacheke,
Very grateful for your kweli-kweli and touching tribute to Askofu.
I was also present at the Katiba thanksgiving at Rev. Njoya's church in Kinoo. Very very important that you mentioned what happened there.
(I have an interesting photo of Raila and Muite sitting with Njonjo if you would like me to try and send it to you.)
I last met him at the US Amb's Christmas party in Dec. 2011 and I deeply regret that I didn't find the time to accept his invitation to visit him at home in Kirinyaga.
Mzungu.
Hi Gacheke:
We must publicise that you asked Njono to render an aplolgy apology to Kenyans. Please search for a pic. that shows you addressing Njonjo. The precise words you used will provide the caption for the pic. and it can be posted. Diana has a front shot of you talking, but one from the side that shows you and him clearly would be better.
Davinder.
Your coverage of Kinoo Church proceeding
Dave....
I have just read your piece on the back page of today’s
edition of the Daily Nation.
Although we were many Kenyans who attended you describe us
as “a number of civil society activists.”
While I am not demanding recognition because I do not need
it there was a lot said by these activists that was useful although it would
not sell papers!
If I had been in your shoes I would have glorified what
Gacheke said, a man of your generation, who challenged Njonjo to apologize to
Kenyans for his role in supporting the Kenyatta-Moi-KANU dictatorships. He also
made important points on how the youth should participate in the implementation
of the new constitution.
What not have a balance of sorts? Why do you think that the
only leaders you have to report on her the ones Kenyans expect to read about?
I have copied in this mail on Charles because I know
reporters sometimes lack the kind of editorial license I am pushing for here!
I am also amused at the photograph of dancers in Kakamega
that accompanies your story.
I hope you appreciate the point I am making.
Shukrani!
Shukran!
Shukria!

TAX JUSTICE CAMPAING- KENYA(Social Mobilization 15/10/2013)
TAX JUSTICE CAMPAIGN-
KENYA.
Say no to VAT ACT 2013 (VAT ACT reloaded) Mass protest 15th
October 2013
Despite pressure from
member’s unga revolution and public during the month of May, June, and July to
reject the World bank and IMF inspired neo- liberal VAT bill, the Kenya members of parliament went ahead and
passed the bill which is attack on our sovereignty, and undermine our dignity and rights to food, for all
Kenyans.
This has ,increased the
price of basic commodity such as unga, milk, bread, rice, sanitary
towel, infant formula, fertilizer and seed placing majority of Kenyans
who currently live on less than a dollar a day at risk of hunger contrary
to article 43 of the constitution that guarantee every Kenyan the right to
food.
In that
light members of public will stage a mass protest dubbed “Say no to VAT ACT
2013! (VAT ACT reloaded) “on
15th October 2013 in Nairobi where member will meet at Tom Mboya
Monument at 10am
before proceeding to parliament building to demand answers over the escalating
prices of basic commodities especially food stuffs and calling
for the full implementation of Article 43 of the constitution of Kenya
Members
of unga revolution will be holding countrywide rallies, meeting and debate as
part of mobilization.
We urge
upon Kenyans to turn up in large numbers to show opposition to the act and
exercise their Constitutional Rights as per Article 1, 3 & 37 of the
Constitution of Kenya.
The Unga Revolution is a
self motivated and non-violent movement of the people of Kenya aimed at
realizing all the Economic and social Rights as enshrined in the Article 43 of
the constitution of Kenya.
Currently the Unga
Revolution is focusing on the Article 43 of the constitution ECONOMIC &
SOCIAL RIGHTS-which state that all citizens have a right to Food, Housing,
Healthcare, Education, Employment and Social Security.
