“Censorship…is always and everywhere an evil. Censorship means the screening of material by an authority invested with power to ban that which it disapproves….And who is that paragon to whom we would be willing to entrust such authority?”

— Arthur Lelyveld

“Censorship in any form, represents a lack of trust in the judgment of the individual.
The passage of time provides the best perspective for sorting the wheat from the chaff.”

“I am opposed to censorship in all forms, without any exceptions. As a matter of social philosophy, I do not like the idea of some people trying to protect the minds and morals of other people. In practice, this means that a majority seeks to impose its standards on a minority; hence, an element of coercion is inherent in the idea of censorship.”

— Carey McWilliams

(1905-1980) American author, editor, and lawyer

    Censorship is here to stay,

    Even in this site, The Jaluo.com is so censored,
    that you would not believe how deep it is!
    Any thing that is not pro Raila, is shut out completely! It is
    amazing to witness it!

    whether you want it or not, you have not even seen it yet!
    Black out is yet to commence! And that is not even comparable
    to what is to come!

    Imagine, if by, bad-Horrible mistake, Raila becomes the President!
    How deeper would the Censoring go?

    What I know is this, no Luo would want the truth about Raila to be
    told, if it does not sing praises of him!

    @ Ndalat Mosop while you are entitled to your opinions,why are you so rabidly anti anything Luo?So to you it would be a bad horrible mistake for Raila to be elected President? Then you will have to convince those millions of Kenyans who will vote for him not to do so as your one vote wont change anything!
