“the ideology of order’. Kenya's leaders, he argued, have consistently held up order and stability as necessary for economic growth and development. That fetishisation of order has been used to discredit those who dissent from the state's development policies, and to allow the state to violate its citizens’ human rights.”
Daniel Branch, Kenya: Between Hope and Despair, 1963-2011

“Democracy is a really complex phenomenon. It involves the right of a people to criticise freely without being detained in prison. It involves a people being aware of all their rights. It involves the rights of a people to know how the wealth is produced in the country, who controls that wealth, and for whose benefit that wealth is being utilised. Democracy involves therefore people being aware of the forces shaping their lives. Ngugi wa Thiong'o, quoted in ‘Ngugi wa Thiong'o Still Bitter Over his Detention’, Weekly Review, 5 January 1979”
