When respected Kenyan figures like Martha Karua and former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga are deported from Tanzania, it raises a serious question: Is the East African Community still committed to democracy and human rights?
In a powerful and urgent episode of Thee Alfa House, Fanya Mambo sits down with Sarah Mwangi to unpack the implications of this shocking regional event. The conversation goes far beyond deportations — it’s about freedom of movement, judicial independence, political suppression, and the future of Pan-Africanism.
🔥 Key Topics Covered:
🛑 The Deportation of Kenyan Lawyers
Kenyan legal leaders, including Martha Karua, Willy Mutunga, Hanifa Adan, and Hussein Khalid, were deported from Tanzania after attempting to attend court proceedings for opposition figure Tundu Lissu. Mambo calls this a blatant violation of East African unity, saying, “Tanzania is no longer just silent — it’s suppressing.”
⚖️ East African Community at Risk
The free movement of people, a pillar of the East African Community (EAC), is being undermined. Fanya argues that Tanzania’s oppressive actions mirror those of colonial regimes, even as it claims to support regional integration.
🌍 The Death of Pan-Africanism?
Pan-Africanism once symbolized unity, sovereignty, and resistance to neocolonialism. Today, African leaders continue to “sell us to the West — and now the East”, Mambo says. He criticizes how African nations are deepening dependency on foreign powers, weakening the very idea of self-determination.
🏛️ Witch-Hunts in Kenya?
Back home, the conversation shifts to the raid on Governor George Natembeya’s home — allegedly over corruption. Mambo calls it “laughable,” arguing that such actions only target anti-government figures, while allies of the regime remain untouched. “This isn’t justice — it’s politics.”
🚨 The Sugar Industry Scam
From privatization to land grabs, the episode also dissects the controversial push to privatize Kenya’s sugar sector. Mambo exposes how this isn’t about helping farmers — it’s about stealing land and locking out small producers from value chains.
💥 What This Episode Reveals:
- Regional governments are increasingly using fear, suppression, and strategic deportations to silence critics.
- Kenya’s anti-corruption narrative may be selectively enforced for political gain.
- Pan-African unity is failing, as leaders prioritize power and personal gain over people.
- Youth-led change is coming, and the political elite are scared.
“They’re not afraid of violence — they’re afraid of a clean, young presidential candidate.”
