Kenyans blame marionette Kibaki for time wasting

Was Warlord-in-Chief Uhuru Kenyatta bribed to alter civic nominations list?

Recently, national coward Samuel Kivuitu complained that Local Government Minister and premier mungiki financier Mr Uhuru Kenyatta had irregularly nominated 100 kanjoras contrary to the list that was forwarded by the disgraced ECK. Today, it emerged that the minister's PA, another bandit called Njoroge Kariuki was arrested by the feckless Kenya Anti-Corruption Authority, KACA while receiving a fifth of the one million he should have been paid to facilitate the payee's nomination to the Nairobi City Council. Questions are, by paying a million bob, how much does a kanjora expect to earn? The most important question is, how clean is Uhuru in this a-million-for-nomination-scandal?

Kariuki was arrested on Tuesday at his Jogoo House offices by officers from the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) after he allegedly received Sh200, 000 from a person who was seeking to be nominated as a councillor at the Nairobi City Council.

According to the police, the money was part of Sh1 million the suspect had demanded from Ms Halima Saloo, who was seeking the nomination.

According to a statement from KACC, Kariuki was arraigned in court at 3pm facing charges of soliciting and receiving a bribe, contrary to Section 39 (a) as read with Section 48 (1) of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act 20.

But speaking at his offices yesterday, Uhuru denied that Kariuki was not his PA but was only involved in the civic elections exercise.

However, the minister called on the investigating authorities to get to the bottom of the matter and ensure that justice was done.

Kariuki was yesterday charged before Nairobi Principal Magistrate, Lilian Mutende, who released him on a Sh250, 000 bond and a surety of the same amount. “I cannot defend him. This should serve as an example to other officers who are tempted to engage in corruption in the ministry where I am the head. They will not survive,” said Uhuru.

This came after a storm was raised in the run up to mayoral elections where some names of nominated councillors were struck off the list published by the minister.

Among the cases was that of Adopt-A-Light former managing director, Esther Passaris, over conflict of interest as she had pending cases she has sued the council.

The move resulted in a protracted war of words between Passaris and former Nairobi mayor and Makadara MP Dick Wathika, whom she accused of cancelling most of her contracts entered into with the council.

But in her defence to the minister’s assertions, Passaris said she was a different entity from her company, and hence, the minister should never have used it as a reason to reject her nomination.

Meanwhile, a crucial document in the Sh64 million fraud charge leveled against a director of East African Safari Express is missing from the registrar’s office, a court heard yesterday.

The prosecutor, Elias Njeru, told Senior Principal Magistrate Rose Ougo the document he wanted to use in a case against Antony Kegode was missing from the registrar’s file.

Kegode is charged with obtaining Sh64,188,487 by pretending that an aircraft he offered as security belonged to his company, East African Safari Air Express Ltd, based at Wilson Airport. The case will be heard on April l6, l7 and l8.

Payback time as Mungiki now begin to hit at the Kibaki heart

Now is payback time as the Kibaki banditry and the conspirators of the electoral heist are targetted by Mungiki. In a hard-hitting expose and letter addressed to members of the recently launched GEMA "Renaissance" Movement, the gang has earmarked virtually all the members of the wealthy backers of Kibaki's banditry. God forbid but soon, we may see souls falling.

Read on.

Mungiki now lambasts TPRM/TPDF - CENTRAL COMMITTEE

You are NOT fooling anyone with your cowardly emails. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM and NOT THE Solution to the Community’s terrible situation or the country’s equally terrible mess.

In the first place, you are Kibaki's sycophants and cheer leaders. You have blindly supported him on his journey to destroy the community and the country with his lack of leadership.

In the 2nd place you continue to divide the Kikuyu community into "haves"and "have not", Ngati na Itungati, Royal Families and Commoners. Your sole mission now is to impose the children of those who have as leaders so that you can continue ruling the community from your graves.

Your children are beneficiaries of the enormous wealth, which you have stolen from 1963 and before ’63, benefits given to you as bribes by the colonialists with whom you were collaborating. All these years, you have sucked our blood. You live on our sweat and you now have the audacity to style yourselves the saviours of our community!

In 1992, you conspired to stop Hon. Kenneth Matiba who cares for the poor and has no time for your class system from taking over as President. You, the “Royal Families” rallied behind Kibaki and formed D.P. at the 11th hour to split the Kikuyu vote. To you Moi was preferable to Matiba and his supporters who were “tumundu tutu” You do not care at all about the thousands displaced from their farms, businesses and properties. If truth be told, you do not care how many more are killed.

All you care about is your hold on power to continue with your obscene accumulation. This is why even now you are leading the country to civil war and disintegration. You have killed thousands of our young men whose only crime is being poor and unemployed on the pretext that you are “crashing”and wiping out “mungiki”. Only recently, you murdered Boniface Maina and his wife Elizabeth Nyambura in cold blood and dumped their bodies at Karura forest.

Their young children are now orphans. And you entrusted the crashing to Kimendero the crusher to continue and finish the job he was doing in the 1950’s! You can rely on the pseudo mungiki youths who in truth are merchants on hire claiming the brand name mungiki.Before on behalf of the Community we confront those in the country who think they can isolate and exterminate the Kikuyu community, we shall sort you out first.

You are the Traitors to the community. Your stomachs is your only concern. When you are issuing your threats; do NOT for one moment think that you have the monopoly of violence. What you have is the wealth stolen from the masses and we shall come for that too.

Do not ostracize one of your own Charles Mugane Njonjo because of his personal differences with Kibaki. He is one of you. The others are Emilio Mwai Kibaki, John Njoroge Michuki, James Njenga Karume, George Kamau Muhoho, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, constituting the House of Lords and the recently constituted cast of Maina Kamanda, Amos Kimunya, Martha Karua, George Thuo, Dick Wathika, Lee Muchiri, Beth Mugo, na kanda cianyu cia moko, Murathe, Muigai Njoroge and Kamau Ngunjiri. There are others. We know them all.

Inyui Inyuoothe ni-inyui thaata cia Ruriri na cia Bururi.We are ready for you.

State 'sanctioned' Kenyan clashes and killings by Mungiki

Having been asked to defend the bandit government in its times of crisis, Mungiki now feels short-changed and abandoned, we can reliably report. This morning, members of the gang were caught up in police running battles in which tear gas cannisters were lobbed to disperse them. They were protesting the incaceration of their leader Maina Njenga. We recently reported that Njenga was still Mungiki, and not many people took us seriously.

And in what is likely to hurt the PNU thugs, the BBC has learnt of allegations of state-sanctioned violence in Kenya during the recent post-poll crisis. Sources allege that meetings were hosted at the official residence of the president between the banned Mungiki militia and senior government figures. The aim was to hire them as a defence force in the Rift Valley to protect the president's Kikuyu community. The government has declined to respond to the allegations which are likely to be investigated by a new commission.

The allegations come as parliament is due to open on Thursday preparing the way for a new coalition government. Although parliament's focus will be on healing ethnic divisions and creating a coalition government - allegations of state involvement with a banned Kikuyu militia, known as Mungiki, will not go ignored. Not least because of growing suspicion that some of the violence that led to 1,500 people being killed and hundreds of thousands displaced was orchestrated by both sides of the political divide.

Gangs with machetes The BBC source, who is a member of the Kikuyu tribe and who is now in hiding after receiving death threats, alleged: "Three members of the gang met at State House... and after the elections and the violence the militias were called again and they were given a duty to defend the Kikuyu in Rift Valley and we know they were there in numbers."

On the weekend of 25 January, the Rift Valley towns of Nakuru and then Naivasha were the focus of the some of the worst post-election violence. Eyewitnesses spoke of non-Kikuyu homes being marked, then gangs with machetes - who they claim were Mungiki - attacked people who were from other ethnic groups. Sources inside the Mungiki have told the BBC that it was a renegade branch of the outfit that was responsible for violence, not them.

A policeman who was on duty at the time, who has spoken to the BBC on condition of anonymity, has also pointed to clear signs of state complicity. He alleges that in the hours before the violence in Nakuru, police officers had orders not to stop a convoy of minibus taxis, called "matatus", packed with men when they arrived at police checkpoints. "When we were there... I saw about 12 of them [matatus] packed with men," he said.

"There were no females... I could see they were armed. "We were ordered not to stop the vehicles to allow them to go." The current and previous minister for internal security have both been invited to respond to the allegations. So far they have declined to do so. The allegations come at a time of growing concern that there was pre-planned violence on both sides of the political fence, in the aftermath of Kenya's disputed election result.

The International Crisis Group has already raised such concerns in their report and Human Rights Watch is expected to publish its report making similar claims shortly. There are plans to establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the coming weeks to examine claims of election violence. The allegations are likely to be among the themes investigated by a commission created to address the issue of post-election skirmishes.

This may be the beginning of a long drawn out war between Mungiki and the Grand Coalition. It is believed that Mungiki adherents are fearing for a merciless clampdown by the police whose minister is likely to be from the ODM. Time to go look for the warlords who helped recruit the mungiki is now. The group has been hunted down and killed before including their bodies being dumped at the Ngong Forest.

Time to overthrow Kibaki by whatever means

The waiting does not help anything any more. PNU went into the Annan-led mediations without any agenda. They had one position, that they were not going to move an inch out of their stolen position. No wonder that little progress has been made on fundamental issues.

Finally the world knows who is building roadblocks on the mediation. PNU is not interested in constitutional review, it is not interested in righting the wrongs it has visited Kenya and the country must brace herself for a long war and hopefully the fall of the bandit president.

There are only two options to this. One is to walk the long and painful road of endless talks, with nothing but half-deals being signed. The other is to say enough is enough and declare independence from Central and let Kenya redefine herself. Let us face it. ODM went into the talks with a mind fixed on diplomacy. That is why they did not bother to rope in lawyers with their usual traps of lengthy, if boring, legal tussles. ODm had several schemes, plan A was to force Kibaki's resignation and a rerun. That was shelved for plan B and finally the arrangement on power-sharing emerged as a viable option.

To share power, ODM needs to ensure that their captain is not answering to Martha Karua, who together with John Michuki are the shadow presidents of Kenya. President Raila has to exercise executive power free from the appendages from the senile bandit at SH.

Even after the US mellowed from their initial dalliance with bandit Kibaki, and accepted that real power must be shared, the thieves are engaged in grand-standing and chest-thumping. It is not going to be allowed. At the moment, the thieves are bent on rounding up opposition supporters under many pretences. This morning, it emerged that police had arrested some 100 opposition supporters "for failure to pay rent" an issue which is obviously outside their call of duty. Why are they becoming tax collectors?

As we write this, it is emerging that Mr Jackson Kibor, a prominet farmer and transporter in Uasin Gishu and the ODM's lead campaigner in Eldoret North was picked by the police. The asthmatic Kibor, 80, was arrested to cow Mr Ruto to soften at the Annan table. This is unacceptable.

Disturbing information indicate that the 2004 Nobel peace prize winner and environmental activist, Wangari Maathai, had her security withdrawn and threats to her life were made. In one of the messages she showed reporters said, "Because of your opposing the government at all times ... we have decided to look for your head very soon,". This comes after a number of independent minded Kikuyus including Maina Kiai and a number of journalists were marked and warned of retributive punishment by mungiki goons. This bandit regime is using militia to terrorise the citizens.

The second option is more dramatic. It is time to secede and partition Kenya into what it should be. Let the bandits kill themselves and steal from themselves. The civilized world must refuse to have any fellowship with the jigger-infested and demented bandits. Time to overthrow Kibaki is now. How to achieve that is not in question, the end justifies the means.

Karua opposes two-year transition government

Martha Karua has written to the Kofi Annan mediation team to express PNU's displeasure at the idea that Kenya enters into a grand coalition to midwife constitutional ECK and other far-reaching reforms, we can now report. And Prof Sam Ongeri was to be withdrawn from the Mediation team "to provide leadership to free secondary education" which apparently not true, we can also reveal. It was because he was adopting an uncomfortably pacifist posture with which the hardliners in PNU-ODM-K were becoming increasingly uncomfortable with. A cabinet minister in Kenya is not the CEO of the ministry, it is the PSs who run the day-to-day affairs. Ongeri's matters seemed to be headed to the wall.

One other complication is the fact that the disgraced former Chief Secretary, Simeon Nyachae, continues to pull invisible strings in the bandit government of wazee. There is no love lost between Mr Nyachae and Prof. Ongeri and Nyachae was not amused that having been soundly rejected in Nyaribari Chache, Ongeri has emerged as the undisputed king of the Abagusii. It is because of this that Nyachae has been tirelessly working to label Ongeri a weakling who cannot better represent the PNU position. This complicates matters for the Panuaists. Ongeri provided a grudging blending in order to offer PNU a semblance of tribal balance.

In he protest, Karua told Annan "As chair of the panel, you are expected to be impartial and to take every care not to misrepresent or compromise the position of either party. To this end, we feel that these inaccuracies have greatly undermined our position and embarrassed us as members of the dialogue team. We demand that the issue be revisited as the first item when we next meet." Martha Karua's hardline stance represents a shift in the PNU position because they were once again beaten to the line by ODM after the latter proposed a power-sharing deal.

It can now be revealed that Mutula Kilonzo, who represents the hardline survival interests of the bandit veep Kalonzo Musyoka who is opposed to the success of the mediation was reading from the same hardliners' script with Karua while Ongeri favored a resolution of the problem. The afable Ongeri, a medical doctor associated with well-cut suits and fluent English is reputed as one of Kenya's finest medical educators. Karua contends that even if the two year transition period were to lapse, Kibaki must be allowed to complete his second term to which he was 'duly sworn-in'. We have no quarrel with that, except that the bandit who was allegedly 'duly sworn-in' has never been handed the instruments of state. Neither was he 'duly elected' in the first place.

PNU's insistence on the respect for the constitution flies in the face of glaring irregularities and blatant disrespect for the same. In fact as somebody has rightly argued, those who swear to protect the constitution must begin by respecting the same constitution.

PNU is not comfortable with ceding their bandit powers. Kalonzo Musyoka seems to have bought that line of thinking which was broached by PNU, that the Peoples' President Raila Odinga and ODM must remain a strong opposition while reforms are instituted at the pace that pleases PNU. It irks PNU that while initially they resisted the coming to Kenya of international mediators, they went on to under-estimate the implications of Mr Annan's mediation. As former UN Chief and therefore the world's foremost diplomat, the superpowers cannot afford to see Dr Annan's efforts go down the drain. PNU is therefore faced with the prospect of a freeze on the badly-needed financial help in a year when free secondary education was introduced. The complicated under-performance of the economy was further complicated by the two months which have been lost in political fighting and ethnic conflicts.

Already, the December peak season experienced tremendous drops in earnings from tourism and key exports. The tourism sector alone has recorded a 90% drop in visitors compared to the same time last year. Cargo is piling up at the port in Mombasa while transport routes linking the country to the main landlocked countries of Rwanda, Uganda and Congo forced the traditional clients of Mombasa to relocate business to Tanzania. Resolution of the political impasse is therefore critical for political, economic and regional stability.

Meanwhile, in the US the UN Chief Ban Ki Moon will discuss Kenya in his meeting with President George W Bush. There is no room for failure for the Annan mediation and PNU will be rudely shocked if they introduce delaying tactics. Already Annan has pulled the negotiators out of public glare. Results are expected in the coming couple of days.

Mungiki in business suits present a village memo to the UK government

In a village joke of a pro-PNU memorandum presented to a watchman at No. 10 Downing Street (State House of Britain), the Gema in UK who recently declared themselves Mungiki in business suits had some intriguing tips for the Right Hon Gordon Brown. Mr Brown and David Milliband received unsolicited lessons in History 101. The lesson was simple and epitomised the view that is widely held by all the Kikuyu from the mugger on River Road to the Business Executive on Kimathi Street to the bank robber on Kenyatta Avenue. Read what we consider an apt summary of how Lucifer Kibaki and her co-wife Wamboi see Kenya. See how Martha Karua and Mungatana's wife view other Kenyans.

KENYAN HISTORY

• Luhya’s occupy Western Province and are mainly farmers and office workers.
• Kalenjin’s & Maasai’s occupy Rift Valley and are good at keeping cows, goats and sports.
• Kikuyu’s dominated the business world; commerce/trade and usually work hard and as a team.
• Luo’s occupy the Lake Region. Their main activities are fishing and office working.

Naturally Kikuyu’s are wealthy by all standards because of working hard. When Kenya got independence from the British, many Kikuyu’s bought land from the British and settled in Rift Valley and elsewhere.

Fellow countrymen, you may read the whole memorandum here and make your own judgements. We are not inciting Kenyans to rise against the jingoistic mungiki funding agents. We are inspiring this great nation to consider that it is now time to arise in one voice and reclaim our rightful place in history. We need to refuse to be branded by people who steal academic certificates, priesthood corronations, land, money and rape their own daughters. We rest our case there to let you reflect on the stereotype and take note that you can take somebody out of the village BUT you may not succeed in taking the village out of somebody. Mungiki in business suits is here now.

Kalonzo snubbed by Foreign British Minister

In the never ending embarrassments to bedevil Kibaki, Kalonzo Musyoka was snubbed by the foreign affairs minister of GB and could only meet with a junior departmental head with whom they had met in Nairobi a week earlier. Diplomatic protocol is full of symbolism. As Kenya's deputy to the thief-in-chief, Kalonzo should have been received at the airport by the chief of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office Foreign Secretary Hon. David Miliband. To those of us who are not familiar with the ranking, Lord Malloch-Brown is in charge of the Africa desk which is equivalent to a desk in Kenya's foreign affairs ministry. Besides, Malloch-Brown was in Nairobi earlier, during which time he must have had discussions with Kalonzo. Usually a snab by senior diplomatic reps is a stinging indictment on the visitor's reputation. Wetangula was a desk diplomat in charge of Africa while serving under Raphael Tuju.

Meanwhile, it can now be confirmed that Anna's room was indeed bugged but the UN and Nairobi have decided to issue a dunno riposte to save the talks after the pnu hardliners agreed to trade the gaffe for a concession. Details will be availed at close of business today but our readers are advised to note the soft stance adopted by PNU in today's negotiations.

Kenya's reputation has sunk further in the human rights ladder after influential scribe Paul Ilado sought refuge in a foreign country to flee pests who were baying for his blood. Meanwhile senior editors including Nation Media Group managing editor Joseph Odindo, Robert Nagila, Macharia Gaitho and Muchemi Wachira have received threats to their lives and property. Linus Kaikai and Kipkoech Tanui of Standard group have also been targeted in PNUs never-ending war to tame the voices of reason. The agenda is now being pursued to browbeat the journalists to promote the PNU agenda and buy into KBCs discredited journalist slight. One real sponsor of this is the Gema Renaissance, a thinly-veiled public, political and fundraising wing of mungiki.

PNU's no to interim gov plan as visa ban slapped on hardliners

The PNU group walked out of the Kofi Annan mediations half way through the talks on the political stalemate after it was suggested that Kibaki and Raila step aside to allow Parliamentary Speaker Marende lead an interim government for a period of six months to be followed thereafter by new presidential elections. This suggestion was reached after both sides unanimously rejected a proposal of a permanent creation of a GNU having Raila as Leader of Government Business.

Kofi Annan is holding a meeting with top diplomats to brief them of their discussion and it is said further, that USA, European Union, Commonwealth and AU. The US has indicated its willingness to pay the costs of a rerun. This suggestion seems reasonable but its constitutionality is in doubt. Marende had promised at the inauguration of the talks at county hall that parliament was ready to do anything to facilitate a quick end to the political problems in Kenya. Hopefully, this includes an amendment of the constitution to enable such an arrangement.

The Marende gov was to be composed of credible ministers from either side with a clear agenda to fast-track constitutional review and explore ways of adopting the Bomas draft. Another sticking point for the interim government was resettlement of the displaced persons, reconstitution of the ECK and restoration of credibility in the judiciary. PNU has under-estimated the impact of their goof and they will wake up to a rude shock when the main donors and world capitals react to this walkout with even more serious actions.

Meanwhile the US and Canada have slapped a travel ban on discredited PNU hardliners and funding lords of mungiki. This came as the EU and UK is said to be thinking of the same dramatic options to coerce the election thieves and perpetrators of violence to give up their fantasy of a stolen presidency.
