USA: Speaker Boehner has a choice to make

From: Dan Pfeiffer, The White House

Hello —

Right now, Congress has two jobs: to pass a budget that invests in the middle class and to pay the bills it has already incurred.

But instead of doing their jobs, a few reckless Republicans in Congress are so obsessed with refighting old political battles over Obamacare that they’re threatening to shut down the government and stop paying the country’s bills.

On Friday, these House Republicans voted to shut down the government unless the Senate and the President agree to defund Obamacare. This week, instead of playing those games, the Senate is set to send a simple budget resolution back to the House — one that keeps the government open for a few months while leaders continue to work on a budget that creates jobs and cuts the deficit in a balanced way. That’s a reasonable solution.

But some Republicans still care more about scoring political points on Obamacare than keeping the government open and our economy moving forward.

This kind of up-to-the-final-hour brinksmanship is beyond irresponsible, and it could reverse the hard-earned economic progress we’ve made by creating another crisis. Unfortunately, we’ve watched them run this play before, and we know what it looks like. Two years ago, these Republicans held the economy hostage, and as a result our credit rating was downgraded, the stock market plummeted 17 percent, consumer confidence dropped like a rock, and businesses stopped hiring.

That’s why it’s time for GOP lawmakers to pass a simple budget resolution that doesn’t defund Obamacare and move on.

We need your help to spread the word so that Americans know what’s going on, so forward this message to your friends and family.

In the five years since the financial crisis began, the American people have pushed the economy forward. Over the past 42 months, businesses have added 7.5 million jobs. American manufacturing is growing again, and the auto industry is back. We’ve reformed Wall Street so that no company is ever again too big to fail and created the toughest consumer financial protections this nation has ever seen. We’ve cut our deficit by more than half, made the tax code more progressive, and reformed our health care system.

Today, there is record demand for American products abroad, and our tech companies are booming. The housing market is coming back — sales of existing homes are up by double digits and new foreclosures are down to the lowest levels since the start of 2006.

We need to keep building momentum. So we’re asking Congress to join the President in creating a better bargain for the middle class, and give up on manufacturing a new political crisis. For that to happen, reasonable Congressional Republicans have to stand up to a few extreme members of their party for the good of the country and our economy.

From the day he took office, President Obama has been open to any good idea when it comes to the budget, as long as supporting middle-class families remains our North Star. Republicans won’t extract concessions over the full faith and credit of the United States.

Will you help spread the word? Share this message so that people know what’s about to happen to the economy if Congress doesn’t act.

Thanks,
Dan

Kenya: roz…now cord is distancing itself from uncle Kidesh

From: Judy Miriga

Good People !

Peoples opinion in public forum is a right to freely express view points. This is why, public debate is important in shapping democratization principles for policy guidance. It is where peoples opinions expresses how they wish to be governed, it is in public barazas where ideas are fomulated as an acceptable shared public interest.

Dr. Masinde should concentrate and direct his argument on issue-based instead of generalizing and castigating the whole Luo tribe who have nothing to do with what happened in Kideros office.

Shebesh behavior warranted the slap she received which repelled her from her grip of a No-Go-Zone. She should have known better than go to an area that does not belong to her. When danger looms, the spar-of-the-moments reaction for protection takes instantaneous charge. The hand instinctively and impulsively responded to nature. Hands are made to fan-off intruders, like the one Kidero used to wade of Shebesh. You see, animals like cow, donkeys, goats etc, instead use their tails delicately to fan off flies…………they use their hind legs for attack……the same way, hands are made to fun-off intruders from no-go-zones.

Analytical facts put forward, makes people understand genesis of the problem and how it can be best solved or fixed. Law-makers have a duty, and they are put by people in charge of Public mandate of maintaining the “Trust” in Surveillance of public service deliver programs.

We are made to suspect if anything that, Shebesh action of hooliganism invasion was a conspiracy engineered in essence of trying to obstruct and hinder Kidero from delivering service to the people where Kidero was engaged in uprooting the notable ghost workers from the City Council and with putting in place gadgets for VAT to save public funds….is what he was elected for. Service to the people first.

In which case, did Shebesh action of storming into Kideros office correspond to service to the people…….Obsolutely NO……. She went to Kideros office in ambush to protect THIEVING of Service to Special Interest Group who engineered her crude and irresponsible actions. The Truth requires that things must be said as it is to shame the devil…………

I therefore see no evil for Kideros reaction, it is clear nature took charge and that is why he could not immediately remember whether he slapped Shebesh until after he is able to recollect himself.

Instead of loose talks, I expect learned professionals to be clinical with sound judgment, make use of their intelligence observation with supportive forensics that are available in their view point’s instead of subjecting a whole tribe as a yard-stick for an individual action.

Therefore, let me share with you the following music to pacify your hard feelings you generalize on Luo Tribe and begin to understand that Luos generally, are trouble free, welcoming and loving people and by understanding that, relax and have fun but engage in clear focus that are shared for mutual interest of all and those that are fair and are for common interest of all……..

We must advocate for responsible leadership with integrity and honor and respect industrial areas that are of personal interest and stop invading peoples privacies that can easily lead to disharmony.

Shebesh crude invasion and attack on Kidero was thuggish and shameful and must be condemned conclusively in the strongest terms, never to allow such unwarranted behavior in the history of 21st century……….

I love you all………………………..

Kamaliza Majengo & Ous Jalamo – Aoko Molly….(listen to the stanzas chorus)

Published on Jul 10, 2013
Molly is one of the songs done by Kamaliza Majengo as they partner with Ouma Jalamo and Ochieng’ Jaludhi. They call themselves “Romantic Pastors”. It is basically about Kamaliza’s wife running away after a fight with the drunk Kamaliza who beat her up. He later apologizes and begs the woman to come back, if only in memory of their sweet past……and Ling’leus, Remgius, Log dichiel and all those his forefathers.

Wams,

This is not fair at all. This Masinde says all kinds of outrageous things that I usually find hard to agree with. This is a smear of Luos if you ask me. Anyway, here is the text of his opinion:

by Doctor Masinde » Sun Sep 08, 2013 3:52 pm

All,

The leaders who we know of to have publicly unleashed violence against women happen to come from Luo Nyanza.

Gor Sunguh (former MP from Kisumu) beat up his wife so bad that she ended up in a coma at Nairobi Hospital.

Dr. Kidero’s late wife, Abigael, is alleged to have been a frequent visitor to various Nairobi hospitals with bruises that were assumed to have been due to domestic violence. Dr. Kidero assaulted Nairobi politician, Rachel Shebesh.

Wambui Otieno was harassed and insulted by Luos when she tried to bury her husband, SM Otieno, at their Upper Matasia home in accordance with SM Otieno’s written WILL.

On a personal note, I know of a Luo “intellectual” who beat up his pregnant wife leading to her miscarriage. Both the husband and the wife are highly educated professionals. Both are quite respected members of the Kenyan society.

What makes me ask the question of whether violence against women is tolerated in Luo Nyanza, or by Luos, is the fact that most Luos do support the most recent violence we witnessed Kidero unleash on Mrs. Shebesh. Very few Luos condemn it.Is violence against women normal in Luo Nyanza?

Is there a correlation between a culture that promotes wife inheritance and a people that condones violence against women?

Respectfully,

Dr. Fred Shamalla Masinde, MB; ChB, DDS, Philosophiae Doctor.

WHY SOME KENYANS AGAINST RAILA’S CALL TO REFERENDUM

1 Reply

From: Ouko joachim omolo
The News Dispatch with Omolo Beste
TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2013

As Kenyans mark three years today since the new constitution was promulgated on 27 August 2010, some Kenyans believe Raila’s call to constitutional referendum is doomed to fail. Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi is categorical. He says Raila will fail because his call is not for Kenyan interest but his own selfish interest.

The CORD faction he says is angry that two communities can come together and produce a president, regardless of the voting of the other 40. Visibly angry James Orengo and Johnstone Muthama have been leading the calls.

That is why some Kenyans he says see the calls for a referendum as a move centered around Raila, with an objective of satisfying his ego. That may explain why they are now referring it as Raila’s Referendum or ‘RAOferendum’

Ngunyi, was giving his take on Twitter. He said that the M4M movement and the constitutional amendment calls are only aimed at feeding Raila’s ego, who he believes will lead the Luo nation nowhere.

He has warned President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto that former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, will overthrow them if they keep entertaining his nonsense.

On his Twitter account on Sunday, Mutahi, who is a renowned political scientist, said Uhuru and Ruto should read book about the “1982 botched revolution” and they will know who Raila Amollo Odinga is.

Mutahi also said Kibaki knew about Raila after the 2005 referendum where Raila Odinga led a revolution that almost paralysed the Kibaki administration. He said Kibaki moved swiftly to keep Raila in check until he finished his 2nd term.

Here is Mutahi Ngunyi tweet.

Some sections of religious leaders have also expressed similar sentiments. They have urged Raila Odinga to stop his clamour for a constitution referendum, saying Kenyans are not ready for another poll.

Led by the Archbishop of African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA), Amos Kabuthu, the leaders said the country does not have the money to hold a referendum.

“The Government should be given the opportunity to implement its manifesto. It is barely six months since Kenyans voted for this Government,” Kabuthu was quoted by press to have said.

Kabuthu’s assertions were also echoed by AIPCA Women Council Chairperson, Bertha Mwangi, who said another poll would polarise the country because Kenyans are yet to heal from the effects of the March 4 polls.

“It was just the other day that Kenyans went to the polls. Leaders should not call for things that will poison the minds of Kenyans .We must work towards uniting Kenyans and fostering development,” Mrs Mwangi said.

Catholic bishops have also said they will not support Raila Odinga, because they warned him earlier. Led by Bishop David Kamau, Cardinal John Njue’s auxiliary, he condemned the referendum push by Raila Odinga, saying it is not practical and it is ill intended.

Kamau noted that the Catholic Church warned the former Prime Minister and his yes team to amend the contentious issues in the constitution first before passing it as it would be difficult to change once it has been passed, but Raila and his team ignored them saying the constitution was perfect.

He accused Raila Odinga of not being honest with his push for the referendum, saying the former PM voted yes thinking he would be President and now that he is not, wants to change the law to neutralize Uhuru/Ruto’s influence.

On behalf of bishops of Kenya Kamau vowed to support President, Uhuru Kenyatta, and his Deputy, William Ruto, and asked the CORD leader to give the Jubilee Government enough time to implement its campaign pledges. Kamau said this during the memorial service of Jomo Kenyatta at Minor Basilica Church in Nairobi.

One fact is obvious however, that this constitution has done a lot to the ordinary Kenyans. It defended security guard Rebecca Kerubo Morara when her nose was pinched by the Deputy Chief Justice Nancy Barasa.

It also challenged President Mwai Kibaki when the high revoked the appointment of the 47 county commissioners. High court Judge Mumbi Ngugi was not sacked as it used to be when in her ruling she said the president had erred in the appointment of the commissioners as he had over looked several articles in the constitution.

Justice Ngugi said the president had failed to observe the constitution which had clearly outlined that no one gender should occupy more than two thirds of any given government appointments.

She said the appointments were done without consultation and concurrence with the Prime Minister Â Raila Odinga, and that the appointments lacked a competitive and participatory selection process which involves public participation in the process of picking candidates.

It also saved Attorney General Githu Muigai from being sacked when he wrote to the Internal Security Permanent Secretary Mutea Iringo advising against lodging an appeal on a High Court ruling that outlawed the appointment of 47 County Commissioners.

The appointments that were made by President Mwai Kibaki have been opposed by a cross section of the public, leading to a court case by the civil society.

It also saved Justice Ombija when he issued an order of arrest against President Al Bashir of Sudan who is wanted by the ICC.

Above all, it saved High Court Judge Rose Ougo when she ordered Deputy President

William Ruto to return 100 acres land he grabbed from IDP Adrian Muteshi in Uasin Gishu District. She also ordered Ruto to pay him ksh 5million for one year he had not used the land.

Muteshi filed the suit in 2010, two years after he fled from the post-election violence in Rift Valley. He said he had owned the land since 1989 having acquired it from a white settler.

This new constitution came a long way even though it was rejected by some sections of religious leaders, Catholic bishops included. It came after two major attempts in 1998 through the Inter Party Parliamentary Group [IPPG] and the 2003 endeavor through the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC) that partly culminated in the referendum of 2005 where an edited version of the Commission’s Draft Constitution was rejected at the vote.

Despite the fact that religious leaders rejected it with some sections of Kenyans, including Deputy President William Ruto and former dictator Daniel arap Moi, the fact remains that this constitution is a manifestation of Kenya’s hope that the third attempt would be a success especially considering the positive anticipation expressed by citizens through the mass media and other avenues.

USA: New York Times stunner

Leave a reply

From: Anna Galland, MoveOn.org Civic Action

Republicans are trying to steal control of the U.S. Senate by making it harder to vote.

Pitch in to help defend the right to vote and stop Republicans from stealing the 2014 election.
http://www.moveon.org/r?r=292693&id=73265-21095459-vLAjbox&t=2

Dear MoveOn member,

This is stunning: The New York Times’ data wizard Nate Silver—who predicted the 2012 election results state-by-state with uncanny accuracy—is now projecting that, “Republicans [are] close to even-money to win control of the [Senate] after next year’s elections.”1

It’s the worst-case scenario: Republicans win a majority in the Senate, and we can kiss the rest of President Obama’s agenda goodbye.

To make things worse, they have a plan to steal the 2014 election starting right now by making it harder for seniors, students, poor people, and African-Americans to vote.

Back in May, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Since then, Republicans in key states have been racing to purge voter rolls, eliminate early voting, and require new photo IDs to vote—anything they can do to make it harder to vote.

And in an election as close as this one will be, even 1-2 percentage points could turn the tide.

You think the fights over the budget, Obamacare, and immigration are bad now? Imagine Mitch McConnell in control of the U.S. Senate. Try getting any pro-choice judge confirmed for the Supreme Court against a GOP majority. Or stopping cuts to Social Security. Forget it.

The 2014 election is hugely important—and we can’t let Republicans steal it now. So if you think you’ll want to get involved sometime next year, I ask you: Please get engaged right now.

We’re raising $250,000 this week to launch a ‘Let Us Vote’ Campaign to fight back right now—while it can make the greatest difference. Will you help?

Yes, I’ll contribute $5 so we can fight back.
https://civ.moveon.org/donatec4/voter_suppression_2013.html?bg_id=hpc5&id=73265-21095459-vLAjbox&t=4

How blatant are the GOP’s efforts? North Carolina just passed what’s widely being called the most extreme voter suppression law in the country. It requires Voter ID, reduces early voting, and ends same-day registration.2

Why there? Sen. Kay Hagan of North Carolina is just one of four Democrats up for re-election next year in a state won by Mitt Romney. If Republicans can reduce turnout in North Carolina and defeat her, it’ll drastically improve their odds of taking the Senate.

To reverse the effects of this effort, we have a 3-pronged plan of attack:

1. We’ll launch state-by-state campaigns to roll back discriminatory voter suppression laws, rules and regulations when state legislatures are back in session.

2. We’ll prepare a traditional and online media blitz, highlighting both the actions of extreme politicians like North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory and the stories of heroic individual voters whose rights are being trampled.

3. We’ll organize an aggressive counter-intimidation campaign to mobilize the very same voters who are being disenfranchised. This tactic was proven to work last election, when showing voters what Republicans are really up to actually motivated unlikely voters to overcome barriers to get to the polls.4

We helped beat back the GOP voter suppression machine in 2012—and we can do it again—but all of us need to help. And we can’t afford to wait until next year. Are you in to support our “Let Us Vote” campaign?

Yes, I’ll contribute $5.https://civ.moveon.org/donatec4/voter_suppression_2013.html?bg_id=hpc5&id=73265-21095459-vLAjbox&t=5

KENYA: TRUTH OF THE FIRE DESTROYING JOMO KENYATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT?

1 Reply

From: Nyambok, Thomas Date:

WHERE IS THE TRUTH OF THE FIRE DESTROYING JOMO KENYATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT? THIS IS A BIG PLAN FOR PASSING A WEIRD CONSIGNMENT, WHILE ALSO MAKING MONEY FROM THE TAX PAYERS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, THEN FINALLY THEY GET KICKBACK FROM THEIR CHOICE OF CONTRUCTOR WHO WILL REBUILD THE AIRPORT – TAX PAYERS CARRY THE BAG.

Are Kenyans ready to go to the streets as the government seems to be on track to start misusing the tax payers on a crafted issue of hooliganism and forgery. This was a stupidly planed forgery by the goons to burn our international airport.

God wanted Kenyans to know that he can give and he can destroy anything in this world under his powers. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport became so much polarized, politicized about who is who to go through which gate, which terminal and which pavilion. The controversy started when the Executive and his administration crudely started an imagination of frustrating and destruction of the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. These obviously are the ten percent Kikuyus in the administration’s front line imagining the destruction of Odinga because they feel threatened by him. They ended up exposing themselves in the process when the fire was burning without shame. All the people in the frontline at the airport were Kikuyus. Kenyans even wondered why they had to speak in English.

THE SITTING KENYAN ATTORNEY GENERAL: The Tokyo embassy land. This man is one of the notorious goons that Kenya has since Independence. He knows about the racket of the Tokyo land. These people are thieves. They stole the tax payers land in Tokyo Japan. He was being used by the last administration, and now he is back to destroy hearts of Kenya Citizens.

He has been used since Independence!! This is why they are being recycled from office to office looking for the loopholes where money is then they destruct in order to get what they want. What do these kinds of people want? Surely what do these people want? You will hear soon this Administration will advertise the tender for the new JKIA construction and it will not be a surprise – “Kamau” will win the tender even sub-contractor will be from them. And this Attorney General – is he having any family relations to the country’s Chief Executive?

How can fire from a friction do such damage without being contained soonest? That was a small thing – a fraction of a fire that could have been prevented by hand nitrogen fire extinguisher. Was there any hand nitrogen fire extinguishers installed near any of the more than one fire starting points? Was there friction in all the fire starting points at the same time? This must have been a big coincident and a miracle fire.

Was there fire alarm detectors installed? Was there enough water at the airport? Were there horse pipes around the walls? Was there enough water at the valve? Were there nitrogen sprinklers within the facility? Was there fire engine with the highdrolic automatic ladders above the ground? How many fire Engines are there in each airport in Kenya? It is unfortunate and pathetic that the greediness from these few Kenyans is destroying the country.

JKIA is built with firm concrete and blocks of 8by12. One would wonder where the planning and safety of such an important facility is drawn from.

REMEMBER: The 10% Rich Kikuyu’s who took over from the beginning – from the top CEO and the Managing Directors to the tea maker to date are all Kikuyus from an area of Kikuyu land where the Managing Director is coming from. This is true, it remains true and God knows that it is true.

It is either the 10% rich goons are nation accursed. The cardinal rule of Contingency planning within an International Airport is safety, and efficiency. Effective and prompt Rescue and fire Fighting Services must be capable. Equipment’s must be tested and ready for prevention, and quick response. Drills must be conducted periodically,? I’m wandering how the KCAA licensed the KAA without going through all that was non existent – under the table operation by the administration.

THE DEPUTY PRESIDENT’S CHARTARED PLANE SAGA:

Democracy is working and these kinds of steeling would not be known if the struggle was not put in place. The late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, and Matiba who is ailing and many others did a good job – they are Heroes. But still, some people like former President Daniel Arap Moi and others never liked it till today. Emerging Democracy is working. Kenyans can take rich goons to court and if they kill, we get them and we take them to court.

THE FORMER PRIME MINISTER RAILA ODINGA:

Raila met Uhuru Kenyatta and Museveni in Uganda. Remember the former President Daniel Arap Moi recently met Uhuru Kenyatta? And what do you think they talked about? The strategy is going on as to what can be done to Raila? Meanwhile, they are covering their nakedness from their action of not respecting Raila. Let the administration use their JKIA gates for their benefits. The works of an illegitimate Presidency where former President Daniel Arap Moi is the current shadow President.

KENYANS’ REMEMBER WHO KILLED DR. GARANG – THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN SUDAN

Should they be imagining that this kind of strategy can be done on Raila then the current administration is day-dreaming. Their whole administration will crumble in a blink of an eye and they will not be able to contain the mess. They are thinking shallowly that this strategy would destruct ICC’s progress. They have no idea. ICC has fundamental and lethal telecommunications Satellite Information and Photos of the GSU who were at the gates.

These are dangerous people who kill and they don’t care. They have tried to use this strategy on Raila Odinga and they have failed so far. They probably think that their Hotel beddings can work – beddings lined with treated chemicals like they did try on Professor Saitoti in Mombasa. They can use the Aero plane seats, the dais chair seats, even the laundry. The dry cleaners that washes Raila’s clothes can be their avenue. Be aware – these are mafia tack tics.

Kenya will never rest as long as the former Presidents are still alive? Uhuru Kenyatta should not be going to The Hague without Mr. Mwai Kibaki and Muthaura, and if the inductees are not found guilty then there will be amass to the street to force the former Presidents to face the realities and face the law of the land this will not be nonsense movement .With out stilling the 2007 Presidential elections Uhuru Kenyatta, Ruto and others would not be facing jailing terms in The Netherlands and think what kind of these stupid people are?

KANU-JUBLILEE ADMINISTRATION: They burnt JKIA practically because they need money; the former President Moi’s read briefcases are going dry now because of the rigged presidential elections for Uhuru Kenyatta to carry on with the steps of his father’s and Moi’s foot steps.

KENYAN’S: Be very care full to this goons 10% Kikuyus, see and make note on who from where and who from which county?

The Tokyo land –the 10% rich Kikuyus/the AG Instituted the Tokyo land stilling Methods.

The Deputy President controversial jet-the 10% rich Kikuyus, please read their names written in black and white.

The China malicious school lap tops are not vital at this time just as the former President Moi come up with school milk? Kenyans need food, jobs and school buildings with new block structures, some schools are still built with caw dung some schools are still poor. The laptops are meant for the 10% rich Kikuyu schools but not for Western, Nyanza Northern and coastal counties forget it.

The JKIA saga. The European Investment Bank has offered to help the Kenya government to recover but let as be careful here, if this money be given directly to the government in their hands then the KANU and JUBILEE will be happy that the method used has succeeded by burning the air port. If the help is for free not loaned to the tax payers then forget with your money. If the donation is free then give it to the government.

WHY THE10% RICH KIKUYUS’ HELPS THE FORMER MURANGA’A LEADER CAN: MR. KENNETH MATIBA IS A HERO. And thanks goes to Raila Odinga Tinga Tinga.

IF YOU’R TRYING TO PLAY AROUND WITH RAILA ODINGA THEN ASKS FOR YOUR GRAVE:

Raila Odinga is every were and there is another Raila somewhere a waiting for it. It will not end the way you guys think and what you see could be his shadows but for now eat your JKIA-arrival units.

KENYANS: Make sure Moi and Kibaki goes to ICC soon.

Next week will come with new findings.

Dear Readers,

Remember Todd “legitimate rape” Akin? And Richard Mourdock who said a pregnancy from rape is “gift from God”?1 Well, they’re back–or at least their policies are. Trent Franks, a tea party Republican Congressman from Arizona, said last week that “the incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low.”2 The truth: at least 30,000 women become pregnant from rape each year.3

What’s even scarier? The House is set to vote on Rep. Franks’s proposal to criminalize abortion nationwide after the 20th week of pregnancy this week.4

Republicans in Congress are using this bill to score political points with their conservative base, but after the 2012 election, they’re also desperate to appeal to women voters. Now, it’s up to all of us to send them a clear message: Women are watching and we are speaking out. Stop attacking our rights. Can you sign the petition telling Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Cantor to drop this bill now? We’ll deliver your signature and comments before the vote.

Tell Congress: Drop the 20-week abortion ban.

Attempts to ban abortions after 20 weeks aren’t new–extreme conservatives have been pushing similar legislation through state legislatures for years now. Nine states have all passed similar laws, including Indiana, Louisiana and Nebraska. But the bill is unconstitutional, and it directly contradicts Roe v. Wade. Just last month, Arizona’s ban was thrown out by the federal appeals court. Courts have also overturned similar laws in Idaho and Georgia.5

It’s also dangerous. If it’s passed, doctors who perform safe abortion care could be tried and imprisoned–even if a woman was at risk for severe, permanent health problems.6

Not all Republicans are on board with their party’s latest extreme attack on women. Republican Rep. Charlie Dent even said of his own party’s leadership, “Clearly the economy is on everyone’s minds… and now we’re going to have a debate on rape and abortion… The stupidity is simply staggering.”7

If we all speak out now, we can show Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Cantor that pushing this bill through the House–and continuing the Republican war on women–is not only wrong, it’s going to cost them politically.

Sign the petition.

Thanks for speaking out.

KENYA: RAILA ODINGA WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ELECTION FAILURE SAYS ODUOL

Leave a reply

By Agwanda Saye

A petitioner has blamed his defeat during the Siaya Gubernatorial race on former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Dr William Oduol told Justice Aggrey Muchelule that he could have won the seat had Odinga supported him.

The petitioner told the court that Odinga instead opted to support his rival Rasanga Amoth who eventually won the race.

Dr Oduol said that he was apprehensive that he could not be given the ODM certificate during the party primaries.

He told Muchelule that he opted to quit the ODM party after Gem Mp Jakoyo Midiwo said that the party has its owners.

The petitioner said Midiwo went on a propaganda campaign against and even ejected him from a tallying centre in Gem using youths

Oduol said in his evidence in chief that he decided to join the NAPK after he learnt that the ODM slot had been reserved for Dr Oburu Oginga who was also eyeing the seat.

Earlier Dismas Wakla for the petitioner and his colleague Richard Kwach pointed out to the court that both Oduol and Rasanga garnered more votes than CORD presidential contender Raila Odinga in Bondo who was vying for the presidency.

He said ODM enjoys fanatical following in Luo Nyanza but there is way the people of Bondo could have voted more than Odinga who wanted to be the fourth president of the country.

Wakla said there was massive ballot stuffing in Rarieda, Gem and Bondo in favour of the Amoth, the third respondent.

He called for vote scrutiny or a recount in Siaya County.

Gumbo argued that the IEBC had only 18 months within which to prepare for the general elections amidst extreme difficult circumstances which should be understood by the petitioners.

He said grounds raised by the petitioners are based on generalities from the bar.

The respondent through lawyer James K’Opot said the third respondent can be held accountable for mistakes committed by the IEBC.

He argued that a free and fair election does not necessarily mean a win for the petitioner.

The governor, however, faced serious accusation and allegations that two of the women nominated to the Assembly executive governing committee are known for political activities and long time social associates of senior ODM leadership in the region.

Mrs Consilata Yambo Migowa from Gwasssi will head waters services and environment, Ms Dorothy Atieno Okello will head Tourism, culture and Sports, Ms Beatrice A.Olomo will head housing physical planning,Nicholas Obuya Koriko will head the Finance and Economic Planning,

Governor Awiti was away and could not be reached to clarify the claims that his cabinet is dotted by women of low immorality who have been associating socially with some of the former ODM party Big-Wigs.

On two occasions his phone No 0722 539627 rang , but he promised he would contact this writer, but never called again.

Political pundits and local observers felt that only Mrs Consilata Yambo Migowa is fit to sit in the cabinet, but others two would fail to pass the immorality test.

Kenya: Ruto is blamed for having exported his fellow Kipsigis tribesmen into Nandi and \uasin gishu County to clinch lucrative political appointments at the expense of the locals

Writes Leo Odera Omolo In Kapsabet Town

DISCONTENT is high in the north rift part of the expansive Rift Valley Province following the allegation and accusations that the Deputy President William Ruto had influenced the nominations and elections to the plum position within the jubilee alliance of his fellow Kipsigis tribesmen at the expense of the indigenous Nandis.

This has now turned the Nandi County into an enclave of the Kipsigis. All the plum elective positions went to the Kipsigis aspirants. These position included that of the County Senator and that of the governor, leaving the Nandis with nothing to take home, retorted Joshua Kiplimoa, Kapsabet politician.

The Nandi County is covering several parliamentary constituencies, which included Aldai, Emngwen, Tinderet,Mosop. There are two other coveted and lucrative position, that of County governor and that of Senate, said Mr. Kiplimo.

The newly elected Senator for the area is Stephen Sang who is a Kipsigis by blood. And so is the Nandi County Senator Stephen Sang, Nandi Hills MP Afred Keter is also a man of Kipsigis by blood. The MP for Kapsaret Hon Sudi In Uasin Gishu is also a Kipsigis.

The residents of both North an southern Nandi district have faulted the jubilee alliance for having given the preferences to the people with the Kipsigis blood, and as such have short-caned the indignant Nandis.

William Ruto himself is a man of mixed blood between the Kipsigis and the Nandis. His family had migrate fro Kiptere / Sosiot area of upper Belgut and have settled in Nandi many years, but later moved further to the Uasi Gishu County after Kenya had attained its political independence in 1963.

The Nandi elders further decried the importation of Kiposigis people from Kericho and Bomet Counties in the South Rift by William Ruto and giving them plum political appointments at the expense of the Nandis.

A resident of Nandi Hills claimed that even most of the County representatives in the entire region were carefully chosen from people with Kipsigis blood relations.

The scheme was hatched by Ruto and his henchmen

Ruto and his protégés and even extended to areas further interior like West and East Pokot, Cheranganyi, Tran-Nzoia an other places. This is a modern day tribal discrimination, said Mr John Chepkuony, of a son in Kericho.

Kenya: Supreme Court Struggles With Written Opinion In Dismissed Raila Petition

Supreme Court Struggles With Written Opinion In Dismissed Raila Petition

I have learned from a reliable source the Supreme Court has been struggling to put together a written opinion not so much so to convince us Kenyans that their decision was right but to avoid being viewed with disdain among the international jurisprudential community.

The Court’s primary concern is having been recently heralded in both Kenya and in international circles as an emerging model of African jurisprudence operating in an independent environment without interference from outside, that notion is on balance and how the court explains its decision will determine whether that notion still holds or not.

In other words, whether the Court is deemed to be finally independent and judicious all depends on its written opinion, an opinion I have also learned from a different source will be issued on Tuesday.

There are a number of factual contradictions flying in the face of the Court’s decision that the Court must convincingly explain but one that stands out the most, is the Court’s own re-tallying which clearly shows inflation of votes in Jubilee strongholds and deflation of votes in Cord strongholds.

Although the numbers evincing this was small in the pre-decision partial results for the Court to get away with dismissing as “insignificant,” which is laughable, anyway, as each vote counts, it is believed the final results of the Court’s own ordered re-tallying shows an inflation and deflation of numbers the Court cannot possibly dismiss as insignificant and thus the reason many are dying to see what the explanation is.

I can confidently state based on what I know there is no explanation the Court will provide that can make sense even to those propagating it.

But something must be offered as an explanation and what that is is what we await knowing it’ll have a direct bearing on the Court’s credibility as the final arbiter of justice in our beloved country.

KENYA: NYANZA LEADERS READY TO WORK WITH UHURU KENYATTA’S GOVERNMENT, BUT WANT THE PRESIDENT TO KEEP POLITICAL REJECTS OUT OF THE NEW CABINET.

Leave a reply

Writes Leo Odera Omolo In Kisumu City.

The political mood inside Luo-Nyanza after yesterday’s swearing in of President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and his deputy William Samoe Ruto is all soberly and the residents of this region have said they are willing to cooperate fully and work with new Kenyatta administrati9on for the better future.

Contrary to the beliefs in certain quarters that the chaos which had erupted last week following the Supreme court’s verdict on electi9n petition filed by the CORD leader Raila Odinga would erupt again.

But no ugly incident was reported in any parts of the Luo-Nyanza as Kenyans celebrated the colorful swearing-in ceremony at the Ksarani Sports ground in Nairobi

Some motorists, particularly matatus which are usually plying the Eldoret Kisumu and Kericho Kisumu roads kept out of business for the better part of yesterday morning fearing that youths would set illegal road blocks and lit bonfire on the roads.

This caused a lot of difficulties for passengers travelling the same distances would set illegal road block sand lit bonfires as they did last week that provoked the two day running battles between them and the police.Two people died from the police gun-shot wounds, scores were arrested and 24 others were hospitalized.

The popular issues, however, is that President Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto and their closest advisers should be given free hand and breathing space to select the new cabinet team of youthful technocrats with unstained names

All the political deadwoods and old and tired politicians whose performance in the past regimes were riddled with the mega financial scandals should retire honorably and go home.

Across section of those interviewed by this write within Kisumu City and its environs have supported the views expressed by Kiambu governor William Kabogo that those who had lost the elections on March 4, 2013 should be excluded from the cabinet after their rejections by the voters.

Govern9or Kabogo had mentioned the names of Charity Ngilu, Najib Balala,ChirauAli Mwakwere,and Naomi Shaban.

But also the persons the residents of Nyanza be excluded from the cabinet included the former Minister for Foreign Affairs Prof. Sam Ongeri, Raphael Tuju and Omingo Magara, Otieno Kajwang’of Anyang’ Nyong’o.Charity Ngilu’s yesterday speech at the State House did not go down well and was not well received by the residents of this city who argued that despite being a partner in the jubilee alliance an election loser like Ngilu should not beall9owedtoaddress Kenyans n an important state functi0n.She is a political reject and should stop pestering Kenyatta and Ruto for cabinet appointment

Appointment together with other election loser would amount t an insult to Kenyans.The new cabinet should be free of political turn-coats, party hoppers and political chameleons.

Meanwhile the news making the round in Kisumu and its environs is that prominent Luo leaders and members of the Luo Council of elders are currently conducting the behind the scene meetings while plotting and strategizing or plans to have the community send a very powerful delegation to President Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto in the near future on a mission dabbed as “To pledge the community’s unswerving loyalty to the new government.”.

The community had voted form President Kenyatta arch-rival Raila Odinga during the recently concluded general election. Although their presidential candidate had lost the election to Kenyatta, thr community did not want to live in isolation, but wouldliket9pulltheir strength and resources together wit other Kenyatta in the real task of nation building, “said one the elders in Kisumu who is part of the team, but who requested for his identtytobeke0tmsecret for the time being.

‘Ker” Meshack Riaga Ogalo, the de facto chairman of the Luo Council of Elders is said to have already blessed the plan for the community to warming itself up to President Kenyatta and, the new government.

Ker Riaga Ogalo could not be reached for his immediate comment over the issue.

Another rumor making the round in Kisumu City and its environs is that the youthful MP for,Kisumu Town Central Ken Obura has accepted to stand down and resign his parliamentary seat in order to facilitate the entry into parliament by the CORD leader Raila Odinga.The deal is said to have been concluded and its in its advanced stage.

Hon Obura who hails from Kabonyo area of West Kano has the blood relations with Mr.Odinga his mother hails from Bondo not far away from Raila’s rural home.When his father the late Obura MaugoTipo a former civic leader in the defunct Kisumu County Council, the young Obura moved out of Kano plains and established a home for his mother in Bondo among their uncles.

Obura could not be reached immediately to confirm or deny the rumor..

Kenya: The recent election has created political leadership vacuum in the South Rift

Leave a reply

Reports Leo Odera Omolo In Kericho Town.

The recently concluded general election in which the euphoria of the URP party swept the board in the South Rift like a tsunami winning nearly all parliamentary, senatorial and governorship positions has created a new political dimension in the South Rift region of the expansive Rift Valley Province.

IT has created a new political dimension among the members of the most populace Kipsigis sub-tribe of the larger Kalenjin ethnic groups. It has also created what the political pundits have termed as vacuum political leadership in the agriculturally rich region.

For many years ever since KADU a political party that was involved in s cut-throat competition with the ruling KANU during the pre-independence and post-independence era voluntarily dissolved itself soon after independence in 1963 and merged with KANU.

The Kipsigis land has ever since steadfastly remained under the grip of the ruling KANU. However, the miraculous turn of events occurred during the 2007 general election when the former Kipsigis political kingpin, the late Donald Kipkemoi Kipkalya Kones, the longer serving cabinet Minister under the Moi KANU regime rebelled and teamed up together with the influential Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the combined armed forced of Kenya, Lt. General John Arap Koech and changed the political land-map of the region.

The two forcefully introduced the ODM and its leader Raila Amolo Odinga in the region against the vehement opposition from the pro-Moi die-hard elements. The two criss crossed the full length and width of the region and vigorously campaigned for the ODM, which in turn clinched all the eight parliamentary seats in the South Rift.

Kones retained his Bomet parliamentary seat and was appointed to the Ministry of Works slot in the PNU / ODM coalition government. Unfortunately Kones perished in an aircraft mish up together with the former Sotik MP Miss Lorna Laboso.

Raila Odinga then appointed the colorless former State House Comptroller and businessman Franklin who succeeded Kones at the Works Ministry. Bett, however, lacked the political masterly and magnanimity of the Kones caliber. Under Bett’s stewardship, the former Eldoret North MP William Ruto who had fallen out with the ODM and Odinga began fishing out the party MPs one by one and at the time of March 4, 2013 general election it was only better and the youthful Kipkellion.

The man who should have taken over from Kones had left is Zakayo.K Cheruiyot the current Kuresoi South MP elect. He had served in a powerful position of the PS for the International Security in the Office of the President under the Moi regime.

However, Cheruiyot who is highly respected in Kipsigisland is a man who did not cherish controversies. He is always shying away from controversial political issues, most of the time preferring to concentrate on his own expansive businesses and farming empire. He is arguably the wealthiest Kipsigis man.

Heruiyot the son of an assistant chief in the colonial era the late Mzee Daniel Arap Komuilong from Kapsuito near Litein runs an ultra dairy farm in Kuresoi, several large scale tea farms, sugar cane farm in Kimwani area near Songhor, a wheat farm in Njoro a mixed maize farm in Trans-Mara, and a horticultural farm in Kitengela near Nairobi.

He has also established an ultra modern ICT commercial college in Litein town and sent most of hi spare time supervising his own business and as such shies away from intrigues of local politics.

The politics of the South Rift region has had along history of intrigues. This could be traced back to the days of the late Dr Taaitta Araap Towett, the early Kipsigis nationalist who dominated the politics of the Kipsigis land ever since 1958 when he first won the election to the colonial Legislative Council as the member for Southern area. Towett and his team won all the four seats in the national Assembly. However, Towett resigned his Buret seat when KADU dissolved itself and merged with KANU arguing that since he was elected on KADU ticket he must go back and consult the electorate and seek for their permission.

IN the consequence by-election that followed, Daniel Moi sponsored a primary school teacher in the name of Alexander Arap Bii who consigned Dr. Towett into premature political retirement. After Towett’s defeat it was the late Ex-Senior Chief Cheborge Arap Tengecha who led a group of ex-chiefs, councilors, missionaries and local leaders to the late President Jomo Kenyatta and to presurerize him to appoint Danile Arap Moi his Vice President, though man believed Dr. Towett had already been tipped for the veep job.,

Toweett regained his seat three years later, but while serving as the Education Minister, he was confronted by Moi at a public rally in Kapkatet and forced to vacate his Buret seat in order to give way for the entry of Prof .Jonathan Ng’eno into parliamentary politics.

At the moment the power politics of the South Rift is gravitating between Isaac Ruto and Charles Keter. The two are staunch supporters of Ruto, but at times acting as protagonists when it comes to local political derby.

In the 2007 there were only eight constituencies in both Kericho and Bomet Counties, but during the March 4 general elections four more constituencies were added. These were Sigowet in lower Belgut near Sondu and Kipkellion West in Chilchila area, Bomet and Chepalungu. This can now give the region a total of 12 parliamentary strength, plus two in Kuresoi South and Kuresoi North in Molo.

HOW THE KIKUYU INTELLIGENCE FORCED UHURU KENYATTA AS PRESIDENT OF KENYA

6 Replies

From: Gordon Teti

What Kenyans did not know is that both Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta were projects of the former dictator Daniel arap Moi. To ensure that KANU rules for over 100 years as Joseph Kamotho, the former KANU Secretary-General declared, the ruling elites during Moi presidency dispatched Kibaki to the opposition to disorganize it. That is how Kenneth Matiba, who both Moi and Kibaki feared was stopped from becoming the president by dividing the Kikuyu votes in 1992. When Kibaki won the 2002 presidential elections, Uhuru conceded defeat easily because Kibaki belongs to the same camp of the ruling elites and therefore was going to continue with the same policies of the past. Indeed, for the past 10 years of Kibaki presidency he brought back the policiesJomo Kenyatta’s presidency, which he blended with those policies of Moi presidency. With Kibaki’ssettled second term settled after rigging the December 2007 presidential elections , the KANU machine settled for Uhuru Kenyatta to succeed Kibaki. Uhuru Kenyatta represents the interests of the following familes: Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, Mwai Kibaki, Simeon Nyachae, Moses Budamba Mudavadi and a few others.

The plan to rig the Kenya Presidential Elections 2013 was put in place well in advance. Immediately after Kibaki was rigged back to power after the December 2007 Presidential Elections and the formation of the forced marriage known commonly as the Coalition Government, Kibaki and those surrounding and supporting him, which include the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service (aka the National Security Intelligence Service) went to the drawing board to work on a plan that will ensure that Uhuru Kenyatta would take over the presidency when Kibaki retires. When Uhuru Kenyatta, as the opposition leader, declined to contest the presidency in December 2007 and instead gave his support to Kibaki, that was the time an arrangement was reached that Uhuru will succeed Kibaki.Therefore, the grooming of Uhuru Kenyatta started in earnest with appointments to very strategic positions in the Coalition government as the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister. Those who think that Uhuru Kenyatta started receiving intelligence briefing after being rigged and declared the president-elect are in darkness. The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service has been working very closely with Uhuru Kenyatta on the succession politics since the inception of the Coalition government.

The following is the geneology and a well coordinated plan that was put in place over the past 5 years by the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service to ensure that Uhuru Kenyatta succeeds Mwai Kibaki:

Raila Odinga who is the most credible challenger and opponent to Uhuru’s presidency had to be stopped. To stop Raila from reclaiming his stolen presidential victory in December 2007, the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service hatched a plot to destroy Raila’s political machine and vehicle; the ODM Political party. How? By ensuring that ODM is reduced to a one man show; Raila’s party and that of his luo people. ODM had to be reduced by all means possible so that the national outlook it enjoyed during the December 2007 general elections is dealt a big blow.

How was this to be acheived? The former ODM Pentagon members had to be induced to desert Raila Odinga. Therefore, a strategy of both carrot and stick was employed by the the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service to ensure that William Ruto, Najib Balala, Charity Ngilu, Joseph Nyaga and Musalia Mudavadi all left ODM as a sinking boat. The first to be approached was William Ruto who was considered very vulnerable due to the ongoing court cases both in Kenya and at the ICC in the Hague. The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service informed Ruto that he could choose a bright future with Uhuru Kenyatta or a doomed one with Raila Odinga. Ruto was informed that Raila Odinga will never be allowed to be president of Kenya and was reminded that if Raila Odinga’s presidency was stolen in broad day light in December 2007, the same will be repeated in future elections.

Consequently, Ruto was reminded of his involvement in the post election violence of 2007/2008 and was warned that it was the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service that provided evidence to the ICC and as such the case against him is water-tight. It was at this point that Ruto was dangled a carrot to choose between supporting Uhuru Kenyatta or continue following Raila Odinga to the dungeons since it is only the Kenya Government under Uhuru Kenyatta who will save Ruto from being jailed for over 50 years by the ICC. Ruto succumbed and was immediately enlisted and tasked to assist the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service in destroying Raila politically. It was agreed that the other former members of the ODM Pentagon would not leave the party at the same time with Ruto for two reasons; one, to help with information gathering; and two, to confuse Raila that he still had their support only for them to leave at the last minute when elections are around the corner thereby making Raila extremely vulnerable. Otherwise, all of them were induced with money and alot of it infact, and were all privy to the rigging of presidential elections 2013 since Raila will never be allowed to be president of Kenya so it would useless backing a donkey who is going no where.

Confirmation of the involvement of the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service in rigging of Uhuru Kenyatta to the presidency is all over the place for Kenyans and the world to see. The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service beefed up security at the Bomas of Kenya a few moments before the Election & Boundary Commission declared Uhuru Kenyatta president -elect in the same manner heavily police officer stopped the KICC in December 2007 and forced the late Samuel Kivuiti to declare Kibaki as the “duly” elected president of the republic of Kenya.

By visiting Uhuru Kenyatta after a few days of being declared president-elect at his private residence and publicly saluting him infront of TV cameras, the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service sent a strong message to Kenyans and the world that it has recognized Uhuru Kenyatta as the in-coming Commander-in-chief. The reigns of power shifted on that day from Kibaki to Uhuru Kenyatta.

Closely after the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service visited Uhuru and saulted him at private residence, President Kibaki invited Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto to the State House and completed the transfer of power.

After the State House visit, to confirm that power is being transferred to Uhuru Kenyatta by Kibaki, Uhuru was flown to Mombasa using the presidential jet and while in Mombasa, he was received and treated by the Coast Province senior government and security officials as the president.

To complete the transfer of power from Kibaki to Uhuru Kenyatta, Kibaki finally relinguished all the power of the Commander-in-Chief to Uhuru Kenyatta through the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service when the military bade him farewell last week. Kenyans should therefore not be cheated, Uhuru Kenyatta with the support of the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service has been forced to the Kenyan people as the president.

And we must start respecting the huge human resource we have.

Let us start new dreams for Africa,

Dreams that will help clean Africa of ineptness and impunity,

KENYA’S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULTS DISPUTE IS CLOSELY BEING MONITORED BY TANZANIAN AND OTHER REGIONAL LEADERS

Leave a reply

Writes Leo Odera Omolo

INFORMATION emerging from the multiple sources in the Tanzanian city of Dar Es Salaam are all indicating that the majority of Tanzanian citizens are closely watching the unfolding political events inside their northern neighboring state.

All the indications that leaders of the various political parties, the ruling CCM party and its ach-rival the CHADEMA are said to be keenly watching events in Kenya.

President Jakaya Kikwete is reported to be neutral and keeping his cards to his chest. He has yet to sent a personal congratulatory message to Kenya’s president – elect Uhuru Kenyatta. However, junior cadre of CCM leadership including member of parliament are said to be leaning towards the Jubilee side of Kenya’s political divide, while Chadema leadership is said to be sympathetic to the CORD alliance.

The CCM stand on the Kenya’s election dispute is said to have been prompted by unfounded rumor that CHADEMA has been covertly cultivating close working relation with the CORD ALLIANCE.

Chadema is reported to have donated several motor vehicles to the CORD alliance during the recently concluded electioneering campaign in Kenya. It has also been reported that President Paul Kagame of Rwanda is another regional leader who has yet to offer any comment about the election despite in Kenya. Rwanda is another important trade partner of Kenya. Lie the other land-locked countries, which depended entirely on the Kenyan port of Mombasa or their export and import.

From the neighboring Uganda the current presidential election results dispute between the h . . .

Uganda was embroiled in a mega financial scandal involved the reported theft of millions of dollars from donor nations meant for its development in the North. The money is said to have been siphoned with the Office of the Prime Minster in Kamala.

Although it has its own sea port of Dar Es Salaam, its northern parts of the country as well as western, especially towns and gold mines , which are allocated around the LAKE Victoria also depended on Kenya for supplies via Lake Victoria.

The mayhem that broke out following a similarly the disputed presidential election of Dec. 2007 had impacted negatively to the economies of both Tanzania and in particularly when the political goons in Nairobi uprooted the rail LINE LINKING THE Kenyan port of Mombasa and Uganda at a section in Kibera within Nairobi suburbs.

The incident sparked off the fuel shortage in Uganda and other land-locked nations in the hinterland and almost crippled that country’s economy.

These are some of the valid reasons why Tanzanians and Ugandans, particularly the big business people would not entertain seeing Kenya collapsing into a distasteful conditions.

A correspondent operating in the northern Tanzania town of Arusha described the recently concluded presidential election in Kenya a sham and not credible enough to convince the neighboring states that it was held in good faith.

However, we love Kenya and its people and as such would go with their wishes, said the TANZANIAN WRITER, ADDING THAT IT WAS TIME Kenya learn how to organize its elections and put only the most credible people to the task of overseeing the elections.This time around people tasked with the handling of the elections in Kenya were not sufficiently qualified for the task.

One Tananian politician commented that the time is ripe or those organizing elections in Kenya to put aside their monetary interest and make sure that such elections are helped in a better manner for the prosperity of the country and its future generation. Must be strictly devoid of corruptive deals.

Kenya: Raila was let down by Luo Ministers and MPs who contributed nothing to popularize the ODM inside Luo-Nyanza

1 Reply

THE ODM SHOULD CARRY OUT A POST-MORTEM THROUGH AUDITING AND DISCOVER ITS AFTERMATH OF THEIR DISMALL PERFORMANCE AND ANY OTHER LOOP HOLES.

News Analysis By Leo Odera Omolo

NOW that the genera elections of March 4, 2013 has come and gone leaving behind many looming faces of the election losers, and at the same time, the jovial faces of the winners, the time is ripe for major political parties to take the stock of what happened during the polls.

Instead of engaging in the blame games, these parties should go back to the drawing boards of their secretariat and immediately start examining the reasons why some of them had performed disastrously below their expectation.

I would rather concentrate in examining in detailed accounts, some of the most valid reasons why the Orange Democratic Movement {ODM], the party which has its stronghold inside Luo-Nyanza.

The ODM performed dismally in Nyanza. First of all there was apathy on the part of the registered voters. Only a paltry number came out to cast their voters, while the majority stayed at home. This is contrary to claims by the IEBC that the turn out in many places of Nyanza Province, the turn out was slightly above the 75 percent.

The most populous constituencies inside Luo-Nyanza are Ugenya, Rongo,Kasipul-Kabondo and Karachuoyo. And going by the statistics of the votes casted, this was far much below the voting patter shown in 2007, Rongo,Ugenya,Kasipul-Kabondo had all been subdivided into two parliamentary constituencies.

The populous Karachuonyo remained intact, while the old Rangwe created the Homa-Bay Town constituency. At the same time Migori saw the birth of the Suna East and Suna West

Ugunja was curved out of the of Ugenya, while there were major constituencies realignment in areas like Kisumu Town West and Kisumu Rural constituencies with the creation of the Kisumu Town Central and Seme constituencies. The creations of these rather smaller constituencies, however, were insignificant as far as the voting pattern in the region was concerned. This did not alter the voting pattern

What happened is the fact that the immediate former Luo MPs who had served in the 10th Parlilament did not bother to sensitize the population to register themselves as voters in their respective constituencies during the registration of voter’s exercises.

Out of the 21 MPs from Luo-Nyanza none came home and mobilized or sensitized the rural folks in their respective constituencies to take the voter’s registration exercise seriously.

The Luo MPs only made cosmetic appearances in their rural constituencies during the emotionally charged burial and funeral ceremonies. These MPs spent most their valuable times trailing the Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga wherever he went.

The people who are credited for having let down the Prime Minister down were Ministers Gerald Otieno Kajwang’, {Immigration and Registration of Persons, Dalmas Otieno {Public Services}, James Aggrey Orengo,{Lands}and Prof.Anyang’ Nyong’o{Medical Services}.

Two Assistant Ministers also had the lackluster performance. These were the PM’s own elder brother Dr Oburu Oginga, the Finance Assistant Minister. Also contributing immensely to the ODM waned popularity were the frequent belligerence and reckless utterances of the PM’s cousin Jakoyo Midiwo the MP for Gem.

There were too much undercurrent and undercutting among the Luo MPs and the ODM local party branch officials, something which had placed the Luo-Nyanza under the election mood all the time.

The registration of voter’s exercises came about in Luo-Nyanza at the time when the relations between the Luo MPs and members of the Provincial Administration had gone a sour.

The administrators who included PCs, DCs.Dos, Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs are the pillers of administration within the localities and have always been responsible f9rmobilizingthe voters during the voters registration exercises.

IMMEDIATELY SOON AFTER THE ADOPTION OF THE NEW Constitution, some of the Luo MPs went around shouting at the members of the Provincial Administration asking them to pack and go, “because their services were no longer needed. These administrators were humiliated in nearly all the public gatherings. This what killed their morale of serving the public.

On one occassi9on the whole Minister Otieno Kajwang’ [Immigration and MP for Mbita went public and requested the administrat0orstopackandgo.

The Minister’s utterances prompted the then Assistant Minister for the Internal Security and Provincial Administration the late Joshua Orwa Oj0de and his then boss Prof.George Saitoti to withdrew the entire administration officials in Mbita district.

Mbita district despite its proximity to the sensitive border was without the D.C. for close to six months.It was the OCPD who remained the senior most government official in Mbita durng the period when the D.C. was not there.There were no DO

[1], Do for Lambwe Division and D.O.in-charge of Mfangano Dvision.

Answering a parliamentary question as to why the government had not posted a DC to Mbita, Ojode told hushed House that there were no plan of posting any D.C. to the area as the services of this calibre of officer were not required by the residents. And this was precisely the time when the voter’s registration exercises was taking place in the area. The chiefs relaxed and went about their daily scores without urging the population to register themselves as the voters.

In Rongo district some unknown people hired six vehicle loaded with political goons hired from 0utside Rongo constituency and send them to Kitere village specifically to go and break a meeting of local elders.The fighting that ensued saw close to7people hacked to death by the villagers.

Despite of the death of people, investigations were done haphazardly carried out and nobody was punished for this heinous crime. Rongo is the constituency represented by Hon.Dalmas Otieno.

On top of all this the ODM primary nomination was the most flawed exercises.It was mismanaged by the ODM headquarters and even some senior staff at the PM’s office and also at the Orange House headquarters were heard giving the names of people considered as not favored by Raila Odinga whom they advised not to be issued with nomination certificates even if such persons had won their primaries.

As Raila Odinga traversed the country while canvassing for the votes for his presidential bid,some people perceived to be close to him were engaged in political war of attrition in his Luo backyard.

KENYA: POLITICAL ROW LIKELY TO ERUPT BETWEEN THE KURIA AND LUOS OVER THE DISHONORED POWER-SHARING ARRANGEMENT IN MIGORI COUNTY.

Writes Leo Odera Omolo In Migori Town.

Political row is simmering between the Luos and their neighboring Kuria community in Migori county following the power-sharing deal which was hurriedly brokered by the cord leader Raila Amolo Odinga shortly before the March 4, 2013 election.

Under the deal, most key positions within Mogori County governance were supposed to be the preserved to the minority Kuria community.

In return the Kuria voters in the two parliamentary constituencies of Kuria East and Kuria west were to vote as a bloc for the ODM and Raila Odinga.

One of the posts which was at stake is that of the Senate representative for Migori County. The deal was brokered by Dalmas Otieno the Minister for Public Services and the four other former Luo MPS representing various constituencies and the former Kuria MP Dr Wilfred Machage.

The deal, however, flopped and did not materialize. On march 4th, 2013, the voters in both Kuria east and Kuria West constituencies voted heavily for the jubilee candidate Uhuru Kenyatta who appeared to have shared the votes in the region with Raila Odinga on almost equal terms.

The elective positions which were at stake include the coveted Senate seat, women representative, deputy county governor.

Dr. Machage went on and contested the Senator seat during the ODM primary nomination and was beaten hands down by one John Magaiwa from.the party headquarter in Nairobi which turned the results of the election upside down and handed the nomination certificate to Dr.Machage, who went on to win the seat.

The Minority Kuria community are sharing the Migori County with their neighboring majority Luos. However, the Luos have a bone to chew with Raila Odinga and all those who brokered the deal which left the community with no senior position in the County governance.

However, the Kuria attitude leaned toward voting for Uhuru Kenyatta, instead of Raila Odinga as had earlier been agreed on between the two communities. The issue has raised political temperature in the region. And the Luos are now demanding that the ODM should appoint Gilbert Ochieng’ Mbeo, the former Mathare MP as the Speaker of the Migori Regional Assembly in order to strike the tribal balance.

After the deal was struck, Ochieng’ Mbeo, Magaiwa and Phares Oluoch Kanindo who is also the former Homa-Bay Mp who were on the campaign trail for the Migori Senate seat, were prevailed upon to stop their bid so that Dr. Machage could win the seat.

And now the Luos feel they were short-changed in the deal. They want the ODM to appoint Mbeo the Assembly speakers because their Kuria neighbors failed to honor the arrangement and voted for the jubilee candidate instead of the ODM and Raila Odinga.

The mandarins at the ODM head office who took part in the discussion and negotiation for this arrangement have been urged to reconsider the possibility of appointing Ochieng’ Mbeo the Speaker of the regional Assembly.

The Luos clinched the position of County governor which was won by Zachariah Okoth Obado, who had also a Kuria as his running-mate, meaning the Luos have been left empty handed.

KENYA: THE LUO-KURIA POWER SHARING ARRANGEMENT IN MIGORI COUNTRY FLOPPED DISASTROUSLY AND TURNED OUT TO BE A BIG CHEAT.

Writes Leo Odera Omolo In Migori Town.

The much highlighted Luo-Kuria political marriage of convenience, which was brokered hastily and shortly before the March 4, 2013 general election specifically for the purpose of persuading the minority Kuria community to vote for the ODM leader Raila Odinga flopped disastrously.

The deal did not materialize as the Kuria voters in the region’s two parliamentary constituencies voted heavily for Raila’s arch-rival Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta.

The deal was the brain-child of the Minister for Public Works Dalmas Otieno and quite a good number of Luo MPs and the former Kuria MP Dr Wilfred Machage.

The arrangement was brokered during a series of night meetings held behind the closed doors of hotel rooms in some of the Nairobi’s posh hotels.

The details of the power-sharing deal was later was later passed on to Raila Odinga by Dalmas Otieno and his parliamentary colleagues who in turn r5eadily accepted the proposals contained therein it.

It apportioned all the elective positions within the Migori County governance to be shared by members of the Kuria minority and their Luo majority neighbors. But it didn’t take the interests of all the stakeholders into acco8unt.It also required wide consultation between the local ODM leaders on the ground, which didn’t happen.

Raila Odinga made quick hurriedly organized tour of Kuria a district and Migori town to drum up the proposals to the members of the public, and to coerce them to accept it.

Kuria community had two parliamentary seats , namely Kuria East with its headquarters at Kehanca,and Kuria west with its administrative headquarters at Mabera near Isebenia border town.. However, the Kuria voters turned out in full swing and voted for Uhuru Kenyatta’s jubilee alliance.The electorate turned hostile to Raila Odinga and voted Uhuru Kenyatta, even at Dr.Machage’s own home turf of Kehancha where Kenyatta got 14,000 votes. The trend was the same in Kuria West and other places.

What Raila Odinga appeared not to have adequately advised about the Kuria community was that Dr. Machage who had represented the area ever since 2002 was not a popular leader among the community. It happened when he was under heavy pressure and was about to be kicked out of the parliament.

In the much dissented deal, the Kuria community were given the lucrative position of Migori County governor, and also Migori women representative in Parliament, the County CEO.

Raila and his handlers were not bothered to inquire about more details of Dr. Machage’s status. On April 17, Dr Machage participatred in the ODM Primary nomination even before resigning his position as the PNU leader. He stood against the ODM stalwart John Magaiwa who had already campaigned for the same seat for a long period spaning two years. Other aspirants included Gilbert Ochieng’ Mbeo , the former Mathare MP, a two others MP for the larger Homa-Bay constituency Phares Ouoch Kanindo.

Magaiwa the populist local leader and a former Councilor Machage won the Senatorial seat on an ODM ticket. Magaiwa challenged Dr. Machage in the ODM Primary and came out the victor with 72,000against Dr Machage’s 51,000 votes. The ODM headquarter instead of issuing Magaiwa with nomination certificate gave it to Dr. Machage.

Dr Machage, however, failed to deliver the Kuria voters to Raila Odinga as promised. Those Luo MPs who supported the idea, have since been shown the exit door by the voters. They included former Uriri Mp Cyprian Ojwang’ Omolo, former Suna East MP John Pesa and Nyatike MP Edick Omondi Anyanga. And Dalmas Otieno. Only Otieno and Anyanga retained their parliamentary seats..

Prof. Edward Akong’Oyugi who contested the Migori governor position also lost his bid. He was defeated by one Zachary Okoth Obado a member of the Kenya Sugar Board representing Awendo zone.

Obado hails from Uriri and was denied his victory at the ODM Primary as a result of the nomination certificate being irregularly given to Prof. Oyugis.He contested on People Democratic Party of Omingo Magara party and won the governor position.

The whole exercises was the case of miscalculation and underestimation of the intelligence of the voters in Migori

Kenya: The return of the former Rangwe firebrand MP Dr Shem Ochuodho may soon witness the formatin of a new major political party in Luo-Nyanza to put the ODM in constant check

Leave a reply

Reports leo Odera Omolo

This month’s general election has seen the sudden return into political limelight of the former firebrand Rangwe MP Dr. Shem Ochuodho.

Dr Ochuodho a genius computer engineer represented Rangwe constituency in Homa-0Bay district between 1997 and 2002.He had won the seat on an NDP ticket beating the late Mrs Phelgona Okundi of KANU in a controversial election battle which saw the two ending up before a court of law on charges of assault and causing damages to property.

The charges landed Ohuodho in jail in Kisumu in Kodiaga Prison for a month before he was released on appeal.

Thereafter Ochuy 0odho and Raila Odinga parted the company. And the two became bitter rivals The computer scientist could not stomach the culture of political worshipping, which is normally ascribed by Raila close Lu0 supporters.Tips led to a series of bloody violence battle with between his supporters in Homa-Bay town and a group of hired political goons ferried in Nissan vans from Nairobi to Homa-Bay town ready to cause mayhem.

Prior to the 2002 general election, Raila Odinga had formed an alliance with the apologist and wealthy Eng.Phillip Okoth Okundi who had served the KANU regime in various capacities as KPA MD and also the MD of Kenya Broadcasting Corporation and finally the Kenya Bureau of the Standards as its MD.

After losing the Rangwe seat to Okundi, Dr Ochuodho was appointed the MD of the Kenya Oil Pipeline Company, a parastatal where he worked briefly before leaving in huff. He then joined the Rwandan government in Kigali as ICT consoltuant for close to three years before returning home and engaged in business as a consultant.

And until very recently, Dr Ochudho was an ICT adviser to the South Sudan government based in Juba. It was in Juba where the head of Safina party Paul K Mute fished Dr Ochuodho last month and made him is running-mate in the just concluded presidential race in Kenya.

The pair, however, made very little impact in the just concluded Presidential contest,-perhaps due to lack of preparation and sufficient logistics, but the exercise brought Dr Ochuodho back into political limelight as he was able to bring Paul Kabugi Muite to many interior parts of Luo-Nyanza in their joint hunt for votes.

Rumors making the round in Homa-Bay and its environs says Dr Ochuodho and a good number of intellectuals in various parts of Southern Nyanza would soon launch a major and second largest political party to rival Raila Odinga’s ODM following its last month flawed and poorly managed primary nominations exercises in the region./

Dr Ochuodho is a highly respected leader, particularly in the greater old
