Kenya: Raila urges S Korea to support Somalia peace efforts

From: Judy Miriga

Folks,

With all the insecurities happening in Kenya today, these are signs that things are not well in Kenya. People are living on a timed-bomb just about to explode and which is about to destroy the poor and the disadvantaged innocent people. We have many cases that are pending or stage-managed to be dodged or prolonged, that are left hanging without answers, yet there are good evidence with proof enough to disqualify the Coalition Government Leadership and install a strategic Transitional Caretaker Committee which can be trusted to move Kenya to where Kenya people want to go. Kenyans want a Progressive and sustainable Development Agenda fair and shared by all; away from backwardness, careless killings, living under political threats scare tactics and intimidation, poverty, draught, environmental pollution, pain and sufferings. It is for this we cannot fail not to ask a few questions so we together with the world may look at all angles and take urgent action in fairness to save the majority poor who are targeted for extinction, assassination and or those who survive will be taken for slavery practices. We must Ponder the following questions:

1) Will Kenyans join with the world to question the Coalition Government Leadership, the real reason why there is insecurity in Kenya?

2) Who is the architect or the emissary in a mission to destroy Kenya on behalf of the International unscrupulous Corporate Special Business Interest Community who are in the scramble to Africa’s Wealth and Resources; with intention to own public valuables for free without proper legislative policy protection for Bills of Rights meant to provide a balance on fair shared deal to benefit both Stakeholders and beneficiaries where; every body gets opportunity to benefit within the public resource, finances, facilities and utilities?

3) After taking Public Wealth and Resources of Kenya for free and instead plan to wipe out disadvantaged communities who are seen to be occupying targeted land for the illegal thievers, what becomes of the Democratic Constitutional Governance, Human Rights against Crime, Violation and Abuse?

4) We are worried the Coalition Government leadership of Kibaki and Raila have failed Kenyans miserably. They are up to no good with matters pertaining to security, livelihood and survival of Kenyans. For this reason, we cannot continue to gamble with public lives and action must be taken instantly to save a situation. It is clear they have decided, if they cannot get it, then Kenya must go on fire. The community on target are those whose lands had already been sold and it is why the explosives have been imported to be used by terrorist illegal groups allowed to enter the country illegally to wipe the community out by stage-managing Civil War in the country with other uncalled for conflicts.

5) The West scrambling for Africans’ Land, Wealth and Resources at no costs, had proof in the eating of the pudding. The greediness of the African Political leadership was easy to bribe. With a little money, they were all ready to join in the conspiracy to kill and destroy their own to pave ways for Special Interest. This is a serious crime that is unacceptable and must not be taken lightly by all good people of the world. This is the time to take the Bull by the horn. They both have demonstrated that the Coalition Government leadership is using Kenya/Africa as their personal property “cash cow” which is disposed off at will. The Leadership of Coalition Government with its agents must be taken to task through legal justice because, they did not honor or take their oath agreement seriously to protect and preserve public interest and wealth according to public mandate.

6) Because of bad leadership and slackness, agents of the two Principals are seen engaging in networking of shoddy illegal and irregular deals where Prime Minister Raila equally found himself getting involved into dangerous Memorandum of Undertaking which later are seen to backfired. The Unscrupulous International Corporate Business Community of Special Interest are seen having a fields day in scrambling to such like Oil, Titanium, Gold, Diamond, Coal, Lake and Sea Water Basins; and generally, the potential land for Agriculture; without public engagement, mandate or consent.

7) These are some of the reasons why the Explosives entering Kenya are being imported by those criminal terrorists they allow to enter with intention they destroy in a hurry, livelihood and survival for poor disadvantaged Kenyans occupying targeted lands.

8) Will people just sit and watched their owns being butchered under their watch without making noise? We are all worried Kenya is being made a battle ground for the 3rd World War and Raila and Kibaki with cronies will take a plane out of the country while Kenya is left to be burning. We must stop Kibaki and Raila now and throw them into jail before the whole nation is put on fire.

9) Public interest in the National Reform Accord Agenda is therefore presently thrown into the dustbin. Through the MoUs Raila signed business interest without public mandate and without proper trading policy under which Public legislative Bills of Rights are not protected or recognized. For this reason, Raila is not a reformist nor should he claim he has public interest at heart. This is proof that PM Raila’s interests are those of Special Interests.

10) After Mutilating the Constitution, where and how will the Public Mandate be delivered fitting in the current political environment with expected economic stability for progressive Kenyans be in a fair playing field by the people of Kenya???

11) We must ask ourselves, why has Civic Education to empower the public not been done as required and according to the Reform Agenda?

12) In the present case-scenario, will the Mutilation of the Constitution provide fair play to the County Governance of Majimbo / Federalism, land, Finances and Police security Legislative Bill of Rights fitting with the current state-of-affair=85=85..???

13) With all these questions hanging around non-suitability of PM Raila’s integrity to perform and deliver as per the two Principals’ Oath of Allegiance, can Raila be trusted with Leadership to Kenya’s Democratic and Constitutional leadership demanded at the Referendum???

14) With the kinds of fronting for conspiracy to hijack Public Wealth and Resources by force through terrorism act, are Raila and Kibaki with their political affiliates and agents not preparing Kenya to Civil War..???

15) Before we are thrown into Civil War and confusion, will Kenyans not Unite and decide that Kibaki and Raila’s Coalition Government has failed to move Kenyans forward as per their signed Reform Accord Agreement, and that, both are of no Good but must face the law while the New Constitution must be re-done by a Transitional Caretaker Committee for the sake of Peace, Unity and livelihood and survival.???

In the meantime, Raila and Kibaki must face charges in the Court of Law over such Goldenburg and Anglo-Leasing scandal, Grand Regency, Kazi kwa Vijana Youth Project Fund, scandal at the Kenya Port Authority, illegal and irregular sale of Kenya Railway, Maize candal, Triton, Titanium in Kwale, Ramisi Scheme for sugar belt, Offshore oil, Gold in Makalda mine and around the environment, Oil in Turkana, Oromo Dam in Turkana, Lamu Port in Mombasa, Oil in Nyakach, Oil in Migingo, Osienala, Kit Mikai with Oluch Kimira and others that are not all listed here.

These were the causes and reason for Conflicts where election went wrong in 2007/8 and must not be left to be repeated.

A) With the US American Embassy in Nairobi providing security alert over fresh advisory security danger, why did Kenyan leadership take it lightly only to find Iranians crooks were behind it networking with the Al-shabaab and Mungiki….who was wrong here, Kenya Government or the US Ambassador Mr. Scott=85=85???

B) Was Vision 2030 really of the Human Face? Who was in control of the channeling of its funding? If so, why did the Coalition Government Leadership and Party affiliates refuse to act on Public Interest and Mandate but instead damaged and mutilated the Constitution to fit in the desires of Special Interest? Is it hard to identify those emissaries who were coming to Washington DC with those linkages connected to Boston and Massachussets including Ambassador Odembo.

C) Do you now know why Diaspora issues in Prime Minister’s Office is heavy duty and have suddenly become Ambassador Odembo’s special preserve with Headquarter at Boston’s Massachussets with conflicts of special interest for Diaspora’s in the USA..???

D) Do you have reason to put to task and question Jackoyo Midiwos and Uhuru’s networking interest about Boston’s / Massachussets and why PM Railais a faithfull servant to the same???

Good people, who is fooling who? Shall we not wake up and act by submitting to court to act??? Will each and everyone act to save a situation???

Without proper trading policies put on Legislative Bills of Rights, and without public protecting Public Wealth and Resources, National Reform Accord is useless, security at election will not be water tight and election will remain Null and Void.

We cannot afford to be thrown into an abysmal doomed created by the corrupt Coalition Government of the leadership of the two Principals. All their signed faked MoUs of the Vision 2030 is Null and Void, but if we are able to marshall the dissolution of the Coalition Government through legal justice and proceedings at Supreme Court and at the ICC Hague, we are able to save a situation where many lives are about to perish.

All preparations for the next election must be treated as Null and Void until and unless we all put our best foot forward and fight for a Transitional Caretaker Committee to be formed so we are able to put things right before the election can be called, we will have done ourselves no good by wasting time sharing.

By this, I begin to call good Leaders of the world who care for human rights to see Kenya as a serious case trapped in a burning bush-fire and must come to join with Kenyans to save a situation. This cannot be left to continue this way for any more time.

Thank you all for sharing……..

Prime Minister Raila Odinga has urged South Korea to support the ongoing efforts to restore peace in Somalia and the two Sudan nations.

Mr Odinga asked the visiting South Korean Prime Minister Kim Hwang to help in the establishment of a legitimate state in war ravaged Somalia to contain the insecurity menace posed by terrorist cells and pirates in the Horn of Africa.

“We call upon South Korea to be steadfast in support for the reconstruction in Somalia and demanding stability and peace in the Sudans,” the PM said.

He stressed the need for Kenya and South Korea to strengthen their ties on security issues to detect and deter any threats posed by terrorist groups and piracy.

Mr Odinga, who hosted a dinner party for Mr Hwang, said cooperation between the two nations was of mutual benefit to both parties and said Kenyans had a lot to share and learn from the “economic miracle” that transformed Korea into an industrialised nation.

“Korea is well known for transforming the lives of its people through very revolutionary rural sector agrarian policies that put the country on the path to self sufficiency in food and other areas,” he said.

The PM said Kenya will increase exports of agricultural products to S Korea as it continues to buy manufactured products from the latter.

“We will be able to buy more of your Hyundais and KIAs and Samsung while you buy our tea , beef and coffee” he said.

Mr Odinga, who was accompanied by his wife Ida Odinga, said the country was looking forward to S Korea investments in flagship projects under the Vision 2030 programme.

“We want the Koreans investment in flagship projects under the Vision 2030 like the LAPSSET, development of three berths and associated infrastructure for the Lamu Port at Manda Bay,” Mr Odinga said.

Shocking details of RAILA and Goldenberg thief KULEI
The Kenyan DAILY POST Politics 04:20

Tuesday July 10, 2012 – In what may appear to be another revelation of Goldenberg scandal architects, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s coalition adviser Miguna Miguna has narrated how the Premier sent his spokesman Carol Omondi to Goldenberg chief architect Joshua Kulei demanding Sh 54 million in cash to cover up his Goldenberg cases if he became the president in year 2007.

In some excerpts from his book Peeling Back the Mask: A Quest for Justice in Kenya, Miguna narrates on how he met Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s spokesman Caroli Omondi carrying Sh 54 million in a petrol station.

Here is the story -.

One Saturday, I met Caroli at Oil Libya Petrol Station in Westlands near The Mall Shopping Complex ferrying piles of cash in his vehicle, stashed in plastic bags. He told me that it was just Sh54 million he had collected from former Goldenberg architect Joshua Kulei. Apparently Raila had sought help from Kulei in order to pay ODM presidential agents, a job which he had then tasked Caroli with.

I shook my head and walked away.

Raila probably knew that someone like veteran journalist and former UN functionary Salim Lone (who served as his spokesman during the 2007 campaigns and for one year after he became prime minister), former political prisoner Prof Edward Oyugi, Sarah Elderkin or myself couldn’t and wouldn’t carry Sh 54million in plastic bags, leave alone collect it from Kulei andaround town with it in broad day light.

This is a deeply entrenched working political culture of Kenya. Raila, like Moi before him, was just perpetuating it. I have never been a follower. Iconoclast? May be on reflection, I should have left Raila’s campaign that afternoon. Had I done that, I would have saved myself some of the moral dilemmas and angst I later faced working for Raila as a Prime Minister.

But hindsight is of course a wonderful thing and if wishes are horses beggars would be riding them.Well, as I should have known and appreciated, once you start sliding down that moral and legal slippery rope, you can’t apply any brakes until you reach the bottom.

Report: Iranian agents in Kenya planned attacks on US, Israeli targets
By msnbc.com staff

Two Iranian agents arrested in Kenya were planning attacks on American, Israeli, British or Saudi Arabian targets in the African country, the Associated Press reported on Monday, citing unnamed Kenyan officials.

According to the AP report, Kenyan security forces arrested the Iranians last month. The agents led security officials to 33 pounds of RDX, a powerful explosive, in the coastal city of Mombasa near where several Israeli-owned hotels are located.

The officials told the AP that the plot appeared to fit into a pattern by Iranian agents to target foreign interests.

The Iranians are members of the secretive and elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force, one official told the AP.

US embassy issues fresh Kenya advisory Posted by BERNARD MOMANYI on July 9, 2012
NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 9 =96

The US Embassy in Nairobi has now issued yet another travel advisory to its citizens, warning them to be cautious when in Kenya due to heightened terror threats.

This time round, the advisory is not specific of any particular town in the country, instead warning Americans considering traveling to Kenya to beware of the risks involved.

The alert sent to Americans directly urges themto evaluate their personal security situation in light of continuing and recently heightened threats from terrorists and the high rate of violent crime in some areas.

“The U.S. government continues to receive information about potential terrorist threats aimed at U.S., Western, and Kenyan interests in Kenya. Terrorist acts can include suicide operations, bombings, kidnappings, attacks on civil aviation, and attacks on maritime vessels in or near Kenyan ports,” the alert sent to citizens enrolled in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) states.

As a result, it said, the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi has limited official U.S. government travel to Kenya until the security situation improves and will continue to monitor the security situation and provide updates.

“Although these restrictions do not apply to travelers not associated with the U.S. government, U.S. citizens already in Kenya should take these restrictions into account when planning travel,” it said, adding “The Embassy regularly reviews the security of these areas for possible modification.”

The alert comes barely a week after outgoing US Ambassador to Kenya Scott Gration lifted an earlier one imposed on Mombasa and which was largely criticized by the Kenyan government.

In this latest advisory, the US embassy makes reference to a number of recent terror attacks including the twin church blasts in the Northern Kenyan town of Garissa where 17 people were killed a week ago.

“Although the pursuit of those responsible for previous terrorist activities continues, many of those involved remain at large and still operate in the region,” it said and warned travelers “to consult the Worldwide Caution for further information and details.”

The US embassy here seeks to remind its citizens of at least 17 attacks involving grenades or explosive devices which have occurred in Kenya in the past year, in which at least 48 people died. Some 200 others or more were wounded.

Nine of these attacks occurred in North Eastern Province, including locations in Dadaab, Wajir, and Garissa while four occurred in Nairobi, and four in Mombasa.

Targets included police stations and police vehicles, nightclubs and bars, churches, a religious gathering, a downtown building of small shops, and a bus station, the alert states.

“U.S. citizens should use common-sense precautions, such as avoiding crowded bus stops or stations, visiting only legitimate businesses and tourist areas during daylight hours, using well-marked taxis, locking vehicle and lodging doors, carrying small amounts of cash and credit cards, wearing small amounts of jewelry, knowing emergency phone numbers, and being aware of your surroundings. These measures can help ensure your travel to Kenya is safe and enjoyable,” it said.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) – Kenya on Wednesday cancelled a deal to import Iranian oil hours after the U.S. warned the country that it risked being penalized if it sees through the deal which would breach U.S. and European union sanctions, a government official said.

The sanctions are meant to deprive funding for the Iranian government and what is believed to be an effort by Iran to build nuclear weapons.

Kenya's Energy Permanent Secretary Patrick Nyoike said Kenya had not signed an agreement but had a memorandum of understanding with Iran to import its oil and was complying with international sanctions on Iran.

“There is an embargo on Iranian oil and on that note it has been decided that the M.O.U. will be terminated,” Nyoike said.
