CABU GAH DIARIES: Here Are The Facebook Posts That Made A 24-Year Old College Girl Get Arrested By The Embu County Government.

Last weekend,a 24-Year Old college girl from Embu had to spend the night behind bars after been arrested by the ambitious Embu Police for,according to her accusers,”insulting” the embattled Embu Governor,Martin Wambora.

 Wambora is not new to headlines…He’s been in and out of courts for pretty much the whole term of his Governancy so far. He’s survived an impeachment, been hauled from office,mauled by detractors and engaged in never-ending Embu County dramas that culminated in the mysterious disappearance-and appearance-of the Embu County Speaker,Kariuki Mate.

And last week,Governor Wambora made headlines again. This time,it was in the form of an arrest he sanctioned on a college girl named Nancy Mbindalah (Who names their kid Mbindalah??) Who,according to the County Executive mandarins,was “insulting” the Governor and His Government via Facebook.

Nancy,a 24-Year old fiery MKU student,was swiftly thrown in the coolers…Awaiting her fate.

On Sunday Morning(January,11th) Nancy’s Facebook page was alive and active. And was actually full of many,many posts of people who were inundating her Facebook Wall with words of support and encouragement.

And in a bid to find out exactly what led to the rash arrest of Nancy,I decided to browse through her Facebook timeline inorder to see exactly what the Embu Executives were holding her for.

What stood out,at first,was that Nancy was quite the feminist. Most of her posts were either political or feminist in nature. She seemed to have a real bone to crack with Men in general…and I saw many posts made by her to encourage,extol,incite,charge,embolden and illuminate women.

Good.

Browsing further down the very active timeline, I now came across the posts that she had,probably, been arrested for. And,clearly,this was one political hot head.

Her disdain for the Embu Governor was unmistakable. And her contempt for the whole Embu County Leadership stood out too.

She attacked all. MCAs,Governor, MP,Senator. The whole damn lot.

Clearly, this was one woman who had very little faith-if any-for her County.

And because the Embu Governor-or his handlers-did not disclose the EXACT messages that he deemed insulting, and thus justifying her arrest,I attempted to compile a few for You.

I didn’t see what was insulting in any of these posts,though. And the Embu Government would really be hard-pressed to authenticate the said insults. All I saw was criticism of a kaput system. Constructive,albeit curt,criticism.

Well,sample them…And watch out next time You want to make such posts about Your own County.

Oh,and by 4pm same Sunday evening, Nancy Mbindalah’s Facebook account had disappeared mysteriously. Just like the County Speaker. And,to this minute,it’s still unavailable.

Its NOT clear what happened. She remains OUT of Facebook till now. Over 100 hours later.

Mutava Musyimi wasn’t spared her ire either. Neither was the Senator Lenny Kivuti or the Deputy Governor Dorothy ‘What’s her second name again’??

Nancy is currently out of custody. And even though there were reports that she had been released on a measly Ksh.30,000 bond,other reports indicated that the Governor had actually ‘forgiven’ her. Whatever that means.

Have an arrest-free day.

Je Suis Mbindalah. Hahaha.
