Are You Scared For Your Life Leaving Comments At Kumekucha?

A recent survey I have just completed carrying out has given me results that have completely taken me by surprise. They reveal that many people who read Kumekucha believe that associating themselves with the blog endangers their lives at worst and can get them in big trouble and behind bars at the very least.

The words of one respondent are still ringing in my ears;

"I always look over my shoulder imagining that some guys in suits will burst into the room the next minute and arrest me. The information you reveal here is just too dangerous."

It seems that a whooping 70 per cent of the people who regularly visit Kumekucha are too frightened to leave a comment because they are aware that ip addresses can very easily be traced.

Even more interesting is the fact that even some Kenyans in the diasporas fear to be associated with Kumekucha because they will have to return home at some point.

One advertiser who left their mobile telephone number in an advertisement by mistake pleaded with me to delete it immediately.

So is all this fear justified?

Absolutely not. If Kumekucha plans to revel his true identity to all and sundry soon, then it must be surely safe. Although there are people who already know my true identity already.

Then there is the fact that if everybody who read Kumekucha were to be traced and put behind bars it would mean arresting tens of thousands of Kenyans all over the world. In fact it would cripple media houses in Kenya because most of the newsrooms at Nation and Standard amongst other media would end up behind bars.

It is clear that the years of Nyayo House torture chambers and detention without trial, not to mention people disappearing in Ngong Forest have taken their toll on many Kenyans. We will need to rise above these fears if we stand any chance of taking our country back.

It is apt to leave you with this lesson from how they train elephants for the circus.

When they are young they are tied to a stake that is then hammered firmly to the ground. When the elephant is young it tries all it can to get away and is unable to. But guess what, when it grows older and stronger, it still believes that it is not worth pulling at the stake, after all it never worked all the years, why should it work now. And yet by this time a simple yank from the elephant would free it.

Ukweli Sasa!!

P.S. My research also showed that at least 40 per cent of the people leaving comments could be government agents, including some very popular well known commentator or two. This explains the low quality of debate, especially on issues that are sensitive to the government.
