I truly don& #39;t think people comprehend how detrimental his position, as the face of protest in Kenya, is for activism/grand organising in the long run.

And I say this from personal experience cos we achieved nothing with the Sabasaba March this year & a large part of that was cos he swooped in, charismatically took over, had people meet at Kencom (a logistic nightmare) & had us running around the CBD without a plan.
And on top of no plan, no means of communication (telegram is right there or better yet signal). So we were split into small easily dispersive groups stuck on a loop tryna avoid getting teargassed and arrested.
PS. SJCs that had organised the march actually had a plan.

See I understand incremental gains are important in building a strong movement but the thing is, when there isn& #39;t a strong central politic, every single protest/community organising seems like standalone action. So the whole thing collapses like a house of cards.
