To my Luo families, there are some things, dressed in police
uniform, some are rogue policemen, searching premises without warrants or
cause, some are Mungiki, attacking you, your wives, and your children, at
night, torturing you. Light them up. Buy
petrol, pour in a bottle, put a cloth, and wait for them. When they knock, ask if
they have a warrant of search? No warrant of arrest or search or cause to
search without a warrant, at night, light them up. If they break open the door,
with force, without answering, or warrant, light them up. It is now time for
self-defense...not restraint, not peace. We cannot preach peace to a mother
whose 6 month old is in a coma, allegedly clobbered by a policeman; we cannot
preach peace to the family of the dead boy whose corpse is being kicked by
rogue police, stepping on his neck; we cannot preach peace to one old man, being
canned by four policemen, like a school child, unarmed, lying on the ground, while
other officers are watching, laughing, it is torture, not effecting arrest. The
law entitles you to protect yourself. Any person, policeman or not, who bursts
into your house at night, without a warrant of search or arrest, or justifiable
cause, must be treated like the law breaker he is, and the Luo whose house is
invaded must respond with all force possible to protect his life and property.
Don't go crying, no one cares about your tears. Not UN, not America, not
Jubilee government. Not Raila. You are on your own. At night. In your house. Alone.
And a thug in the uniform of a policeman, paid by your tax money, to protect
and serve, breaks in, without announcing themselves, or showing warrant, or in
the name of Mungiki, to torture and destroy. Defend yourself. Get a license and
buy a gun, or a panga, or a club, or petrol. Put them inside your houses arm
yourself. Protect yourself. No one will.
There is a law doctrine that allows you to do this. The pater familia
doctrine. So, Luos, don't live on your knees. Die standing. Don’t wait for God
to punish your killers. Did God punish the apartheid regime of South Africa? Did
God punish the ones who murdered Josiah Mwangi Kariuki, Dedam Kimathi, Tom
Mboya, Pio Gama Pinto, Chris Msando, Robert Ouko, Bruce McKenzie, George
Muchai, G. G. Njuguna Ngengi, Mugabe Were and Maumaus? Did God punish the Nazis
for the holocaust? Did God punish the white settlers for murdering the red
Indians? Did God punish the Europeans, Arabs, and Americans for enslaving the
Africans? As the Russians say, maybe God will help, but until his help arrives,
we must help ourselves. God helps those who help themselves; this is a
Christian Ethic, and a Qur'anic principle. Let blood answer blood. Remember,
warrant of search and arrest is required, unless you are a criminal, or
sheltering a criminal. Do not go to the streets, do not demonstrate, but when
they come to your house, Light them up. From today hence, stop praying to God
to help you. He won't. Stop begging Uhuru to help you. Stop telling the police
to be professional. Help yourself. Do not demonstrate. But if they get into
your property, in the dead of the night, without warrant, or as Mungiki, light
them up!
