“Wanahabari Kahawa Na Viongozi Wa Dini Za Senti” Mohammed Ali’s Take On Journalists And Religious Leaders Attending The Uhuruto Rally In Nakuru

Mohammed Ali is one of the journalists in Kenya who call it as he sees it with little holding back regardless of the subject.

This time round he joined many of the Kenyans outraged by the decision to take the celebration of the President and his Deputy president following their freedom from the ICC where the two had been charged with crimes against humanity.

With many venting against the seemingly ignored need for the victim’s justice, Mohammed Ali took to social media to condemn the two leaders as well as other parties including his fellow journalists whom he accused of having lost their course following a trip to state house. He also took issue with the religious leaders and the public asking whether they had any sympathy and thought to the thousands displaced and those who died.

To his fellow journalists, this was his scathing criticism;

 “Kesho wanahabari kahawa watapachika kamera zao kila kona kupeperusha matangazo hayo ya moja kwa moja kutoka uwanja huo. Nawaita wanahabari kahawa kwasababu chai walioinywa katika ikulu ya Nairobi iligeuza fikra na taaluma na kuwafanya wanahabari wa kutangaza sifa, mavazi na makalio ya wanawake. Siku itakayofuatia baada ya sherehe hizo, magazeti za humu nchini zitatwaa picha za wawili hao na kuwafananisha na mashujaa licha ya wao kujua wazi kuwa huo utaonekana kama kejeli kwa wakenya na familia za waathiriwa wote wa ghasia za baada ya uchaguzi wa mwaka wa 2007. Kesho wanahabari watawasahau kina mama waliobakwa, kina mama na watoto walioteketezwa ndani ya kanisa la Kiambaa, familia moja iliyopigwa moto ndani ya nyumba yao huko Naivasha.”

To the religious leaders and the public he had several questions as well as accusing the religious leaders of being blinded by their love for money.

Viongozi mbali mbali wa dini senti watafika katika uwanja huo sio kumsifu Mungu bali kusifu senti zisizo na adabu. Nawaita viongozi wa dini za senti kwa sababu nina machungu na tabia ya viongozi hawa. Wamekuwa ni watu wa kuhubiri meno badala ya neno. Leo nina machungu maana kwa ufupi tunaambiwa kuwa zaidi ya wakenya elfu moja waliouawa wakati wa ghasia za baada ya uchaguzi walijiuua wenyewe kwa hiari yao. Walitaka kubakwa wenyewe kwa hiari yao, walitaka kufumwa mishale kwa hiari yao, walitaka kuchomwa kwa hiari yao, walitaka kukatakatwa kwa mapanga kwa hiari yao

Je, mnaokwenda kuhudhuria mkutano huo na kuimba nyimbo za kumsifu Mungu hamuogopi? Hamuogopi Mungu japo kwa sekunde? Mmewasahau waliouawa haraka hivi? Nauliza kwa upole na unyenyekevu bila ya chuki kwa mtu yeyote. Endeleeni maana Kenya mungu wake ni ukabila, endeleeni lakini mkae mkijua Mungu ndiye Mkuu na kwake haki itapatikana. Sisemi ni makosa kuhudhuria sherehe hizo. La hasha! Ninachosema ni kuwa hatuwezi sherehekea uhuru wa watu wawili dhidi ya haki ya watu zaidi ya elfu moja.
