Matiang'i Explains Why He Replied with 'Nonsense' to an SMS from Moses Wetang'ula

Acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has commented on the SMS spat with National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Moses Wetang'ula.
The CS says that he owes no apologies to the Bungoma Senator over a response he made to him after the Senator sent him an SMS on why he imposed a ban on Nasa anti-IEBC protests in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu Central Business District.
In an SMS to Matiang'i Wetang'ula wrote: " “Mr Matiang’i, why don’t you engage a lawyer to advise you on the constitutionality of your action, utterances and threat to innocent Kenyans. You have no power and capacity to ban lawful protest and or demonstrations.”
Matiang'i responded with a single word, ‘Nonsense’, which he now says he has nothing to regret about the response.
“I used ‘nonsense’ response on Wetangula because what he said was as same as that. I used an English word which means what you are saying is not sensible. And it is there as an English word in the dictionary so that you use it to express yourself when something that someone is telling you does not make sense,".
"There is no crime in that. It is an expression, it is an English word,” Dr. Matiang’i said in interview with Citizen TV.

Dr. Matiang'i you are a man of your word and I support that. You have single handedly overhauled education and now you are dealing with these goons in NASA. How much more can you take? You might as well be running the country. Your words = RESULTS. You are the man. Period.

Wetangula will or may already have received some slaps from Waceke for asking Matiang'i''NONSENSE'' questions.I would also like to ask Wetangula if he can lend me just shs 2m.of the shs 1.4b.he looted in the Tokyo embassy scandal.Wetangula gained impunity by assosiating with muuaji Raila but his two Gikuyu comrades were not lucky although their pockets will help them buy justice the same way Keith Kilonzo did after stealing a voting card worth shs 30,property of GK.

Why waste breath and words responding to a nonsensical question if one loaded adjective can answer it. Very apt Dr. Matiangi. Continue breaking this uncalled for ploy meant to create civil unrest. Don't fear putting RAO and anyone who threatens to stop the elections, under house arrest. Nimenena.

If what we hear in campaign trails and press briefs is anything to go by, "Nonsense" is a dignified word. We are at the Age of Willful Ignorance, what is obvious is made to look complex and what is complex is made to look like child's play. In this age they pretend to discern what is under other peoples beds, but feign not to notice what is drooping from their runny noses.

Matiang'i reminds of dictator Idi Amin Dada when I was alittle boy ,by the way they have some resemblance.howevet what Matiang'i needs to understand is that Uhuru or jubilee is not going to rule kenya for ever and also understand that in that docket we had some tough guys who have died.Does he know how Nkaissery died.Please Matiang'i you not on top of the world treat the opposition with respect especially the former prime minister okay

Ndugu Matiang'i, you are not a lawyer, kindly listen to other views from other professions that you have little or no knowledge about?
Fifty years from now, there won't be Jubilee or any NASA political joints in Kenya but the land mass known as Kenya will be there.
Think before you leap! But remember that, everything that has a beginning has an end: And quietness follows and remains.

Thank you. Someone with real sense finally told these fools. So Let me get this straight, all these thugs are allowed to roam all over the country rioting and destroying private businesses while the nation just go along with these nonsense as if everything is normal. What world is this where you wake each and every morning and make all sorts of demands? How far are we supposed to go in accommodating these political hooliganism? The Authority has been too nice!!! It is time to wake up and take charge of the situation. People can hold peaceful demonstration. Vandalism, mayhem, political sabotage should be stopped immediately. We know the end game of Raila and his cohorts is to make Kenya ungovernable. He needs to be stopped. Shame on Raila and his goons.

It’s funny to see what Okulaulanga wrote and the question is. Who are the greatest thieves of all thieves?
• Kidero is the master of corruption and the biggest of all thieves, he looted Mumias sugar.
• Raila Odinga who remains the oligarch of official graft and the doyen of economic sabotage. It must never be forgotten that the Kisumu Molasses Plant was a government parastatal intended to inject economic development in Nyanza, when it was thoroughly impoverished under the Odinga dynasty’s leadership. Raila as prime Minister, started the Kazi Kwa Vijana programme, ostensibly dedicated to employing Kenyan youth, but which in fact was another of his famous embezzlement schemes.
• Moses Wetang’ula, whose feckless ways earned him the nickname “Black Moses” long ago at the University of Nairobi, has mastered the international dimension of corruption through his involvement in the sale of Kenya’s embassy in Tokyo and more recently, his fetid dalliances with Big Tobacco multinationals. Wetang’ula is the poster boy of corruption’s cancerous nature.
• Kalonzo was involved heavily in the Goldenberg, Kalonzo Musyoka easily distinguishes himself as the Founding Father of National Youth Service (NYS) scandals. Among his well-known exploits is the grabbing of 2,000 acres of NYS land for use as his private ranch in Yatta.
• ODM continues to be a closed, parochial, tribal, violent, repressive cult of personality overhung with the menacing spectre of wanton chaos. Its grassroots nominations are deadly fiascos and its leaders predatory and feckless as ever.
• So, who is fooling who

@Atieno you are not going to fool anybody using a Luo name. You are not. So, you did a good joan telling us about th ethieves. Can you start now with the defending Thieverly champions of the world? Jubilee is full of these champions. Do I need to wr.ite more? When you write, don't assume people are so naive that they will take you to be the saviour of truth... wachana na propaganda. Kenya is decaying at a fast rate than any other country in the world because of corruptionand ppl like you who are myopic in seeing anything good or bad on the other side of the political decorum. What do you of SGR railway BS? What do you know of Waiguru and NYS? Nothing?

@atieno, fake name: Because of advances in technology we know all the Jubilee "Joseph Goebbels" ( this man was the minister of propaganda during the reign of Adolph Hitler) writing here and using fake Luo names in order to provide fake news, lies, and propaganda.
Siku za mwizi ni arobaini. Kenyans are now fully alert and awake. The sad days of unwarranted arrests, state sponsored tortures and murders will never, I repeat, never come back to our beautiful Kenya again.
