[...] The busiest day for Mentalacrobatics this year was when I published CCTV footage of the Raid on the EA Standard and when I put together a quick round up of the reaction of the Kenyan blogosphere to the raid. This is where the country stats got interesting. Have a look at this image: [...]

I’m visiting for the first time. Thanks for the CCTV footage. Best I’ve seen of the attack.

I’m shocked that people here are justifying that illegal attack. The function of the media is to watch government, NOT to hold its crumbling pieces.

If Kenya crumbles today, Kibaki should answer for it. After all, he has told us he is firmly in charge.

This is very interesting, what is this exitement about the government stopping the hate campaign. As a country we dont have a consience courtesy of the media. They are on a malighn and hate crusade. There is nothing like freedom without responsibilty, and nothing like absolute freedom. Standard group should be exposed for what they are – who are the owners, and what agenda do they have -raw power period.
What kenyans needs is food on the table- by the way did we stop starving since angloleasing and this imagined standard saga now that that has taken a back banner, good roads investment opportunities and of utmost importance patriotism.
Stop massaging egos of the big families in Kenya.
Let the economist do his act, Kenya will never be the same again. We refuse to go back to the rhetoric of Nyayoism, we shall narture the available opportunities and we shall prosper.
Viva Kenya

what the Government did was long, long over due. the paper attacked has been a gutter for the last 6 years believe you me i could have shut it down 5 years ago. Politics or no politics, there is no way we can allow irresponsible journalism. what ever the means however diplomatic the Gorvernment may have applied it would still have been accused of gugging the media; so use the means with maximum impact. I EXPECT RESPONSIBLE AND HONEST REPORTING BY THE MEDIA.

Last weekend I was having a beer with a friend of mine at Kahawa 44. As we “politicked” about this he gave me a story. He used to work in the civil service until last year. Then he resigned to go work for some mzungu. He was one of the best trained in his department and would probably be heading it in a few years.

His action was propmted by his Std.4 son asking him why he was so corrupt. Every time he read the paper it said how corrupt the officers working in his dads office were.

Not only are we loosing trained manpower to irresponsible journalism, we are loosing something much more important. Trust of our kids.

I have no way of knowing where you work. However, if you had to procastinate several days before signing any document because it could be the anglo leasing that would put you behind bars, if you cannot delegate anything even to your most trusted aide because if something went wrong they will “hang” you publicly I know you would feel different.

If the action by that policeman can help change the stupid situation we are putting ourselves in, in the name of media freedom, so be it. People in this country need food on the table, they need services, they need to be able to earn an honest living. And I believe that will not come from talk, or from media freedom.
