You sound like a pessimist. This administration has created more freedom
reforms than the entire East Africa combined including the past two
administrations in Kenya. And if it realy wanted to curtail such freedom,
the New Costitution would not have passed.

We are aware that Kenyans are using social media to propagate hate
messages. This is a moral issue and I know the basis of it. Here is the
summary:

Over the Easter, I decided to record and listen to all the sermons from at
least five TV stations. My conclusion. We are a drift (lost in the
wilderness). some of the preachers should not preach to human beings.
Here you find extortionists, liers and peddlers of deception. Our
theology is misplaced from what it is supposed to be. They promise a
heaven yet we know we are supposed to make heaven here on earth.

We need a religious regulator in Kenya and demand for some reforms in this
sector. We know Jesus went through Biblical Studies before he started to
preach but what I saw was unqualified individuals pretending to preach.
In the 16th century Europe, they were in our current state of deception,
corruption, begging etc. It was the Protestant Ethic that shaped their
destiny and led to the current idiologies in the West. Read the work of
Martin Luther, John Calvin and the Puritans of England. This is what
shaped the future of Europe.

We must now embrace the values in our new constitution and hopefully
reform our religions to the extent that they can lead a moral revolution.
Without this, no one individual can govern this country effectively. We
must blame ourselves for the weaknesses we have. Honesty, intergrity,
humility etc are key to governance. We cannot propagate hate and blame
the Government. This is why President Kennedy said "ask not what the
Government has done for you but what you have done for the Government".

Have a nice day.
