Two short decades after the exit of the tyrannical and authoritarian government of Moi, we now have a government that is intentionally and systematically killing its own people.
What is happening in Sondu is nothing short of democide of genocidal proportions where the government is using state agents to kill and maim members of a “hated tribe”.
Ruto is using the police, plain cloth police and hired goons to target and annihilate Luo people who he considers rabble-rousers.
It has also come to light that he is actively encouraging his kalenjin kinsmen to use their poisoned arrows on the perceived enemy and giving them police protection.
The right to demonstrate is enshrined in the constitution. People have a God given right to assemble with a view to march, protest and demonstrate against government excesses.
This government is instead of providing the necessary protection to demonstrators hunting them down and killing them whilst labelling the demonstrations unruly and criminal.
This ought to stop immediately and the government to engage the protesters to finding a lasting solution.
