Battle lines have been drawn with full frontal attacks on prominent Kenyan activists. Just last weekend the wife of a prominent youth activist Joshua Nyamori of the Nyanza Youth Coalition was attacked by six armed men and her car taken at gun-point at their home-gate. Nyamori's youth group has been under spotlight as one of the groups who have been receiving support from the US Ambassador Michael Ranneberger.
Another activist under attack is Shem Ochuodo who apart from having a corruption case looming over his head, has had to face the tribulations of being considered in opposition to the grand coalition. His office in Nairobi was closed and people purporting to be 'auctioneers' seizing his equipment when in fact he had overpaid his rent and a lorry used for the 2007 elections being impounded. Ochuodo himself has wide appeal not only because of his byname 'father of the internet' but also for his activities in the newly formed Mageuzi Trust
