via Kipleting Maiyo .PROSECUTE SENATOR BONNY KHALWALE AND AND SENATOR JOHNSTON MUTHAMA. The Constitution of Kenya - promulgated in August 2010 - includes, in Chapter 4, an extensive... Bill of Rights. Article 33 of the Constitution protects each individual’s freedom of expression, which extends to freedom to seek, receive or impart information or ideas, freedom of artistic creativity, academic freedom as well as freedom of scientific research. However, paragraph (2) of Article 33 limits freedom of expression by stating that it does not extend to: propaganda for war, incitement to violence, hate speech or advocacy of hatred that constitutes ethnic incitement, vilification of others or incitement to cause harm. In addition, such freedom of expression must not violate any ground of discrimination specified or contemplated under Article 27 (4)[1] and must be exercised with respect to the rights and reputation of others. Bonny Khalwale and Johnston Muthama have therefore contravened Chapter 4:Article 27(4)(1) of the Kenyan Constitution by making utterences aimed at defaming President Uhuru Kenyatta and his entire government.The propaganda propagated by CORD ALLIANCE is likely to incite the Kenyan citizens to violence.The current speeches of CORD politicians have involved open and senseless vilification of Kenyan Patriots I humbly request Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko to urgently prosecute Senators Johnston Muthama and Bonny Khalwale.
