Day 6 anti-corruption activists sit-in in Nairobi
Our grassroots intelligence has informed us that Prof. Sam Ongeri or his proxies in the corruption cartels are planning to send hooligans to visit violence on us so as to disrupt our sit-in. Our civic actions are non-violent, constitutionally protected and therefore we refuse to be cowed and shall continue with our sit-in until Prof Ongeri see some sense enough to resign.
Dear All,
We resume duty - day 6 - of sit-in at the Ministry of Education on Monday June 27, 2011 at 10am after a weekend of rest.
Our grassroots intelligence has informed us that Prof. Sam Ongeri or his proxies in the corruption cartels are planning to send hooligans to visit violence on us so as to disrupt our sit-in. Our civic actions are non-violent, constitutionally protected and therefore we refuse to be cowed and shall continue with our sit-in until Prof. Ongeri see some sense enough to resign.
Last week on day 4 of sit-in, hired goons splashed human feces on anticorruption protesters apparently to scare and embarass us - the prosters - demanding transparency on how the Ministry of Education lost FPE money.
We interpreted the splash of human feces us desperate act of corruption fighting back. We would like to inform those who undertook this action on behalf of whoever that instead of being scared and embarassed, we are more embolden, determined and we wear the dirt you sprayed on us a badge of honor for fighting corruption.
Our goal remain to put creatively pressure on Prof Sam Ongeri as top most duty bearer in the Ministry of Education to take responsibility of his action or inaction that led to the loss of 4.2 Billion FPE money.
We want to thank you and fellow Kenyans for the support you gave us in the last 5 days of sit-in at Jogoo House to protest the loss of KES 4.2 Billion FPE money.
We would also like to share with you the "redemption song" that opened Central Police cells when we were arrested on June 23, 2011 during Jogoo House

We want to encourage you to creatively find a way you can support this cause. You can support us with water, bread, placards or anyway you are able. Most importantly share with your networks our postings.
