Same Script, Same Players, Same Agenda...
We are seeing a replay of the May/June season of sponsored violence and chaos..
Same Script
In May/June, it all started by creation of Fake Narratives..at that time, it was about creation of absolutely ridiculous claims about the 2024 Budget. Deliberate lies about the Budget were cooked and shared by a well funded network. The deliberate Misinformation was validated by Mainstream Media Houses...
This time, the Fake information about the budget has been replaced with Fake information about Abductions...
Same Players
The Fake information about the Budget was spread by a well organized network. At that time, the Office of the former Deputy President was the focal point. They created the fake impression of "young Kenyans being tired"
They were supported by Nation Media Group, Royal Media Services, Media Max, Standard Group and TV 47 mother company...these are the ONLY Media Houses with NATIONAL Reach...and have one thing in common...they are owned or controlled by people from one corner of the country.
Besides the Mainstream Media Houses, we had Larry Madowo, a CNN reporter, who curiously leaves his official CNN duties, to focus on Kenya, and curiously gives one sided interviews and "investigations" . Those of us that have been in the Media landscape for more than 30 years know when a big fat brown envelope is involved.
We had a network of top musicians joining in the spreading of Fake information about the budget. We had top Radio Presenters joining in the spreading of Fake information. We had Top NGO activists joining in the spreading of Fake information..
The overall impact was to create a "siege mentality" and make people pour into the streets .. this failed terribly when only youth from Mathira, Karatina and Githurai joined the protests..
Same Agenda
Nothing has changed..the sponsors of the current Fake Abductions have one Agenda... remove President Ruto and replace him with a Kikuyu President... They are also bitt
