The difference John is that this is the Sovereign Democratic Republic of Kenya whose popularly elected President is His Excellency Mwai Emilio Kibaki while the Prime Minister by popular mandate is the Right Hon Raila Amolo Odinga.

The difference John is that Kenya has been an Island of peace in the midst of turbulence in East Africa. This long reign of peace has made our soldiers forget their role in the Sovereign Republic. They have been used to eating and sleeping and occasionally going for peace duties in places like Liberia or Croatia.

The difference is that this long reign of peace has made our CinC see blues in the Ocean while Kenya is been invaded by the twin actions of Museveni and Mungiki.

The difference is that Mungiki and Museveni are pillars from the same post.

Nairobi on its knees as gangsters run riot

Frightened pedestrians take cover as gangsters and police exchange fire during a recent robbery incident in Nairobi. Such scenes have become common in the city. Photo/FILE

By DOMINIC WABALAPosted Monday, April 20 2009 at 18:09
In Summary

Six brutal murders. No arrests. Police say there is nothing to worry about. But are city streets really safe for ordinary people?
Even as reports of murder and armed crime increase in the city, police maintain the situation is normal. The police have seen no need to issue any statement assuring Nairobi residents of their safety.

Informants recruited to help track muggers
The last statement by Kenya Police spokesman Eric Kiraithe simply stated police were keenly monitoring crime trends and working to ensure the city was safe for all to conduct their business.
For the family of Mr Wilson Juma Abura and many others, that must sound like a sick joke.

Nyongesa,

Thanks for your good elaborate answer although you are not a lawyer as you said.

Well, my complain was that i have never heard Human rights body condemn Mungiki for their killings but should any of them be killed by police human rights are at the forefront to condemn the police. If Mungiki feel that some guys don’t like their activities they can as well get hold of that person and take him to the police if really their acitivities are justified.

If they abduct people and kill them I don’t see anything wrong if any of them is also abducted and killed by police or any Kenyan

I am not a lawyer and I respond to this question from a pedesterian legal thinking:

1. When a mungiki, SLDF, sungu sungu, robbers or any other wayward person kills a police officer or any other innocent person, that is a criminal act. The criminal law is very clear on the due process for such actions. The police officer/s know what the law says they should do with any persons engaging in criminal activity. The work of police officer ias to arrest, book, produce in court, prosecute and let an independent person in the name of a Judge decide on the fate of the accused. My personal opinion is that when mungiki kills the police or any Kenyan, the work of police officer is to arrest the criminal called mungiki take him to court and if found guilt, why not hang him at Kamiti GK Maximum Prison? That is within the law and therefore not extrajudicial killing.

2. When a Police officer, employed by Government (Republic of Kenya) on behalf of Kenyan taxpayers kills a mungiki without due process of the law, he commits a human right violation. Why? Because:
– the primary mandate of any government in a civilized society is to ensure enjoyment of human rights by its citizen especially the right to life.
– UN Universal Declaration on Human Right demands that all governments respects, protects and promotes human rights of all its citizens including the police and mungikis as guarnteed by the constitution and international laws.
– a government worth its salt must have a law enforcement and criminal justice system that can forestall criminal activities, arrest criminals and try the suspected criminals like Mungikis etc in just way.
– when a police officer in acting on behalf of the government of Kenya does not respect the laid out law and acts extra or outside that law, and that action takes away a citizen’s life, then in principle, the government through its machinery of violence called police has just abdicated it constitutional mandate stated above. In civil society actvism, instead of lumping the blame to the whole government you isolate the primary perpetrators of rights violation- the police and push that they must be held accountable.
– in the same breath when Mungiki eliminate fellow countrymen we must condemn the criminal activity and demand that the government steps mechanisms of law enforcement in protection of all lives.

Also let us ask ourselves:

-if the police becomes arresting officer, the prosecutor and the judge and even the hangman then why do we pay those other office holders?
-if the police officer becomes a law unto himself: supopose s/he has made a mistake in judgement of crime committed, or mistaken a dread locked guy to be a mungiki or makes error of judgment and kills an innocenet being then s/he sees the easiest way out of the mess is to criminalize the guy as a mungiki, how will the poor soul ever get justice?

Lastly, we, the ones who speak against human right abuse, must be understood to Human Rights Defenders not Criminal Lawyers. We only raise our voice for the voiceless when human rights are violated. Similarly, it is the work of the Kenya Police to raise their voice for voiceless when they are visited by criminal activities. We seek to hold the government of Kenya accountable in its consitutional mandate, for instance, guaranteeting enjoyment of human, socio-economic, civic, political and citizens rights. We do this without discrmination. I have been involved in the campaign for better wages and housing for the police officer. That is my area of interest since poor pay, bad living conditions and welfare are human right problems. However, when a police officer is killed by a thug, a mungiki or a robber that is a crime and the police force knows what to do- arrest and prosecute. The judge to decide. The on going criminal actions in Karatina, Kiambu and its enviorns are criminal activities and the government of Kenya must develop a sustainable solution to the root cause of the problem but not just to focus on the symptomatic confusions. I am sure this isn’t sufficient argument and I hope other comrades may improve on it or clarify.

Stop pirates, kibaki tells military officers

By Jibril Adan

President Kibaki has asked army commanders from 22 countries to come up with solutions to eradicate piracy.

Speaking when he opened a military symposium, Land Forces Challenges in a Full Spectrum Environment in Mombasa on Monday, Kibaki said piracy threatens sea transport, the basic lifeline for many countries in the region.

“Trade and critical imports are threatened by the rise in piracy,” Kibaki said at Serena Hotel, Mombasa.

Pirates have threatened the busy shipping lane along the Somalia. Many countries have deployed navies to the region, but the number of ships being hijacked has increased.

Officers at the meeting are at the level of Lieutenant General and are commanders of their respective armies. The conference brings together commanders from Pakistan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Uganda, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Rwanda and Tanzania. Others are Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Oman, Iraq, Afghanistan and UAE.

Major subject

Earlier, Kenya Army Commander Jackson Tuwei told reporters at a briefing that even though piracy was a real problem, it was not going to be a major subject at the symposium.

But even so, analysts say the solution to piracy lies on land and that before a functioning government is restored in Somalia, it would remain with us.

Commanding General US Army Central James Lovelace said”the solution to piracy has to be international and we will get there together”.

Even though the mandate and resources given to armies limit them to fight on land, the challenge by Kibaki is expected to force the officers to discuss how to support the Navy commanders to stamp out piracy.

As Kibaki opened the conference, the French Navy was expected to hand over eleven suspected Somali pirates to the Kenyan authorities. This will bring to 30 the number of suspects being held by Kenya.

Observers are worried that Kenya’s acceptance to try suspected pirates might put it in the firing line for possible revenge attacks.

Last week, Nato forces released eleven suspected pirates after they rescued a boat they had hijacked. They cited their dilemma over the law they would use to try the suspects. Kenya has, however, gone ahead to use the Penal Code to try some suspects.

Solutions to terrorism

Western nations involved in anti-piracy patrols are also wary of taking back suspected pirates because they could seek asylum after release.

And in a sign the policies of US President Barack Obama are taking root, the US general said solutions to problems affecting the world couldn’t be unilateral.

“The solution has to be multi-lateral,” said Lovelace.

He said the symposium, organised by the US army and hosted by the Kenya Army, would come up with solutions affecting regions represented by the participating countries.

President Kibaki who was accompanied by Defence Minister Yusuf Haji, Chief of General Staff Jeremiah Kianga and US Ambassador Michael Ranneberger, said it was imperative for the soldiers to come “up with ideas on how to combat piracy”.

Kibaki said Kenya had been a great contributor to regional and world peace.

He called on the participants to look into regional security in the light of conflict in parts of the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes Region.

As much as we are encouraged to embrace free-markets economies,there is great need as Kenyans to start looking at ways and means we can also have a big bargain or say on how capital movements is managed both locally and globally so that we avoid large volumes of hot money in our country

I hear Eastleigh nowadays is a new kid on the block, property prices are heading north (Increasing) at very alarming speed ,

Banks are falling at each other to open branches in eastleigh to tap into these great potential which makes good business sense.

But my question -My Question how long will this economy sustain itself

Question How does capital flight affect the average Kenyan

Answers:

First, money outside Kenya cannot be used to develop Kenya

Second, money outside Kenya cannot be taxed.

Third, it is the poor people in Kenya that indirectly pay for the external debts.

Capital flight increases the level of corruption. The flight of capital means that police officers cannot be adequately paid and are forced to extract bribes that is why Police Officer are justified to mount road block to collect money instead of inspecting vehicles

Medical doctors are happy to give you substandard drugs,

Teachers are justified to offer Remedial classes and

Government employees are justified to ask for tea -extort bribes from you and me.

Capital flight is related to lack of technological development. Because it lacks the technological knowledge, Kenya exports natural resources like sugar from Mumias to EU markets only to re-import refined sugar or white sugar for making Sweets, cooking fats addictives etc

Also we export coffee berries only to re-import finished coffee called . Nescafe at extremely high Price

We export minerals only to re-import cars top Range Land Rovers,Mercendes Benz, Prado instead of bicycles and Tuk Tuk.

Kenya also is busy at exporting one-third of its university-trained graduates read Nurses Engineers like Dr Shem O who went to Kigali-Rwanda to develop IT sector only to re-import technological products created by them or their brains.

Kenya is a consumer of technology (and not a producer). Example major construction projects are given to foreign companies like Strabag-Germany,Chug Chag from China read Mombasa Rd- Northern By-Pass.ABB Norway to develop power lines

Which means a great percent of our revenue collected by our hardworking team at Kenya Revenue Authority flies out to profit Western Countries?

Also profits made by foreign companies eg Unilver and Grand Regency are repatriated abroad and this is pure capital flight which, in turn, increases the level of poverty in Kenya.

A Remedies

It can only be stemmed when Kenya invest in technological development. Kenya, is among, the world largest producer of coffee,tea,sugar but, does not fully possess the technology to refine them.

You will find Kenya imports refined sugar, buys Nescafe from countries it exports to and these results in capital flight. Because of the low level of technological development, the Kenya economy is, by default, based largely on the export of raw materials, the import of refined (technological) materials, and the payment of profits to overseas shareholders.

Attempting to solve this problem without understanding the relationship between technology and capital flight will be like a wild goose chase for a mirage in the desert.

Kenya becomes poorer when it exports raw materials and brains and re-imports finished products.

An increase in capital flight leads to an increase in the level of poverty which leads to an increase in religious and ethnic violence. In Kenya, for example, we have tribes fighting for a greater share of the diminishing national wealth.

A vicious circle is created when the unemployment, social unrest and political instability creates a market for the importation of arms which are often bought on credit and/or by exporting the remaining capital to arms-exporting nations.

This can be justified when MV Faina brought in tanks, weapons that were openly travelled from Mombasa Port to Nairobi by Rail under full glare of cameras

I hope Uganda President need to know we are fully armed and He need to act fast and apologies for taking Migingo Island or we shall Michinja him with those tanks unless we bought decoys instead of real arms

President of the United Republic of Tanzania
Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

Your Excellence Mr. President

Shalom, As-Salamu `Alaykum

Re:Saudis Request For 500,000 Hectares: A Carrot and Stick Deal?
It is my humble gratitude to write you this open letter as I believe it is an effective way of reaching you.

I would also want to say ‘pole ya safari’.

Mr. President, the reason I am writing this open letter to you is to raise my concern regarding the potential leasing of our land for farming. On the face of it, it sounds to be a good deal for Tanzanian economy. But, my worry is basically on the amount and location of the land in question plus the “credibility” of the potential investors.

I am not attacking the personality of the potential investor but questioning the motives behind this matter as you may note that recently, we have seen Middle East ‘shakers and movers’ visiting East Africa region looking for ‘potential investment opportunities’.

To derive my point home, are these Saudis, really interested in farming or they are using ‘back door’ to gain access to our ‘potential oil reserves’? Why seek your audience after being told by TIC to wait? Naturally, Saudis are oil oriented investors and luxurious staff; therefore there is rebuttable presumption that ‘they are not serious investors in farming”. Are we going to audit them before give such vast land for their investment? Moreover it is a 99 years? Past corruption acts during the signing such contacts have also raised my red flag too.

Mr. President, those potential investors were supposed to contact tic directly, why did they choose a “lobbying approach”. It has been reported that TIC told them to wait for feasibility study of the project.

Mr. President, [the Citizen] Qatar plans to lease 40,000 hectares along Kenya’s coast to grow fruit and vegetables for its own citizens in return for building a 2.4 billion (Sh3 trillion) port close to the Indian Ocean tourist island of Lamu. The plan has, however, met with stiff opposition from activists. This is a sign that wananchi also are tired with some of these deals as a reasonable person will not rush to commit himself/herself.

Mr. President, as it has been dubbed that this is a new ‘scramble’ for East Africa. We should do our homework before rushing and lease our land. I am calling for a cautious approach as I am sure they (Saudis) had upper hand on you and you should note that always they bring a ‘carrot and stick”.

I kindly remain to hear from you.

My country first,

God bless Tanzania.

Thank u @ Kimanthi for telling them the truth…
I also think uprooting the railway is primitive because;
1.The same fellows are the one being serviced by cheap commuter train to n from town-and saved from exploitation by matatus…for their info Neither Kibaki nor Raila or Govt big fish uses the railway
2.They should not expect to use electricity without paying-if you cannt afford then just forego the service,most of us are paying for the electricity we use.Freebies are only supplied by UN and Kenya redcross!!!
3.Railway transport to UG represents a very small percentage of the goods to UG, most of the business people use road transport due to its efficiency.
4. The cost of replacing that railway will be from the taxes they pay thus the broke govt will forego development expenditure(if they had any planned) and divert it to recurrent expenditure-which will not help anyone.

And finally this guys should save their energy to do something constructive to improve their life instead of waiting for handouts from politicians who misuse them!!!

It costs to generate and distribute these products and this habit should not be let to interfere with the rest of society that have done their part.

There are no free things anywhere. Even relief is paid for by some sympathiser!!!!!!!!! And there is still a rider to it.

And please, lets quit this culture of destroying property every time there is a dissagreement!! Did we not learn anything from the election violence? We destroyed everything and have to rebuild everything again at a terribly higher cost.

JM,

Great question. Jendayi danced around it, never answering anything. Jendayi epitomizes the general sheer incompetence of the Bush administration. She exhibits poor policy assesment skills and also lacks diplomatic etiquette.

How can she discuss U.S. foreign policy in Africa and fail to mention the tectonic shift in policy emphasis after 911, from focus on ‘promotion of democracy’ towards focus on ‘security and counter-terrorism’ .

This is what ultimately affected Africa’s democratization process negatively. This is why there still looms trouble in Congo, Darfur, and other hotspots. This is why elections were rigged in Ethiopia. This is why the Ugandan constitution was torn to remove term limits. This is why elections were rigged in Kenya.

Simply because those leaders ‘perceived’ to be U.S. counter-terrorism allies get unequivocal U.S. support in their anti-democratic missions in their respective countries; and during elections. This is why Meles Zenawi rigged the Ethiopian election and why Museveni dismantled presidential term limits in Uganda with the U.S. turning a blind eye.

When Kenyan citizens of Islamic faith started disappearing into foreign (Ethiopian) cells for U.S. conducted counter-terrorism interrogations (renditions) , Kibaki was a willing ally. Islamic human rights activists trooped to ODM’s Raila Odinga to express concerns. It was clear the U.S. was uncomfortable with Raila’s temerity to question why his fellow citizens of Islamic faith were disappearing into the Bush-Cheney torture interrogation cells.

After that fateful meeting, Kibaki unleashed the NSIS on a propaganda drive against Raila having signed a MOU with Muslims to turn Kenya into a Sharia State. Every Tom, Dick and Harry knows Jendayi’s team had made up their minds whom they supported in the 2007 election from that point onwards. From then on, even opinion polls showing Raila in clear lead were rebutted by Ranneberger himself, with International Republican Institute (IRI) polls showing a race ‘too close to call’. It was clear who was the real strategic thinker behind the 2007 election fiasco.

It was not an accident that Museveni and Jendayi’s boss were the first to congratulate Kibaki after the election.

And Jendayi Frasier is silent about how the Bush era of counter-terrorism intelligence gathering affected democracy and U.S policy in Africa????Pleeease!

Kibaki’s honesty is wanting. I would not believe anything that comes from his mouth if I was Raila. I would only believe what he signs as a law or what he mobilizes his MPs to pass in parliarment. These are the only things Raila should go by. Kibaki’s words are not worth the microphone he is using, period. It is upon Raila to ask himself the following questions

1. Who is in charge when Kibaki is away? If Kibaki never ask him to run the government when he is away or sick, then there is a huge problem. He might as well know that the coalition does not exist.

2. If Kibaki orders his security personell to stop guarding Raila, does Raila have any powers to order them to stay?

3. Does Raila has the power to order the police or the army to do anything if Kibaki is sick or out of the country? I assure you Saitoti does.

4. If Kibaki fires a minister from ODM can Raila reenstate him?

5. How come Ugandans are still incharge of Migingo island even after Raila said they should leave and why is the president quite on it? It looks like Raila has no powers to do anything about this.

I am not sure if Raila has straightened these issues. These are not Kibaki’s problems they are Raila’s problem. As usual, Kibaki and those around him would like to get away with as much as Raila can allow them to. If Raila does not straighten these things now then we as Kenyans are headed for very very rough times come 2012.
ODM should make sure that Kibaki strictly obey the accord to the letter and any time he does not then Raila should publicly demand it just like he did in Mombasa. This is what will enable Kenya to proceed in the right direction even in 2012.

Subject: Oil in Migingo?

Wazalendo wenza,

The grapevine has it that Uganda recently established that there are vast quantities of high quality commercial-grade oil and gas in Lake Victoria around Migingo Island. The oil in Migingo is supposedly of a much higher quality than that in mainland Uganda! That is why it has annexed the island and the area around it the way Nigeria did the resource-rich Bakassi peninsula, and the 1600 kilometre-long border area between Cameroon and Nigeria, extending from Lake Chad to the Gulf of Guinea. It took Cameroon 35 years to get its territory back through legal means. And till today Nigeria still has not vacated fully.

Oil or no oil, I don’t think Kenyans like myself are ready to serve legal papers on Uganda in an international court and wait for generations as lawyers outmonouver each other with legalese on such a straight forward issue. Migingo and its environs are Kenyan territory. Even Kibaki’s concession that experts should look at the maps was a negation of Kenyan sovereignty and an act of high treason by non other than the man who swore himself in at night as President of the Republic of Kenya (read the Third Governor of the Kenya Neocolony), and yet he has no clue how to run a cattledip. It is third parties or Uganda who should wax cartographical about maps and compasses. Hapana sisi wenye mali!

Now, though it is against Kenyan Law to raise a militia, this Migingo affront calls for a people’s militia to arise and do the necessary to defend our country’s integrity, since the government is not going to act as it should with economic blokades and surgical military strikes. We are told that Uganda is our major trading partner (trading with Kenya or the homeguards?), so what? Are we going to play second fiddle to those who have money? The Artur brothers were supposed to have brought us loads of money as investors and the Horrible Kibaki made them Police Commissioners…. Are we going to sell our motherland the way we have sold our parastatals?

Anyway, Kenyan citizens in Busia and Teso have no time for Ugandan arrogance and can be mobilised at short notice to impose an effective Road and Rail embargo on Uganda. Ugandans don’t mess around with us.

Are there any like-minded people on this listserve who can help organise a public forum at which we shall serve Kibaki notice to take action on Migingo or be kicked out of office? Kwani yeye ni nani to undermine our soverignty? He can get away calling us mavi ya kuku or being sworn in at night because both are temporary irritants, but not doing an irreversible act as peeing on our sovereignty by allowing even an iota of our country to be annexed…

Look at the resources America deployed recently to rescue one citizen from the Somali pirates!!! It did not matter that the pirates were four teenagers armed with light guns! Naval destroyers and helicoper gunships were deployed, and highly skilled SEALS were parachuted into the theatre to make nonesense of the nononesense situation. What mattered to Americans was that one of their own was facing imminent danger, and their sovereignty was being challenged. The lesson is that you do not negotiate or appease bullies as that only makes them bold, to demand bigger things.

Decades ago Great Britain sailed half-way around the world to kick Argentina in the teeth over the Falklands! When Idi Amin annexed Kagera in Tanzania, Nyerere did what a commander-in-chief does – he not only kicked him out of Tanzanian territory and out of power in Kampala, but he lost his own son in the process who was shot down bombing Amin’s troops. He did not keep his own out of harm’s way as he sent other people’s children to their deaths as some selfish and cowardly leaders in this country do when calling for mass “acsion”.

It is nightmarish to imagine that Ugandan boyscouts are impishly flying their flag over our territory as our soldiers nap away in their barracks, simply because they have a eunuch for a Commander-in-Chief. Please excuse my language but, as John Garang used to say, “we cannot have a law society in a war society!” On many ocassions Ugandan troops have bombed our people in northern Kenya and suffered no consequences, not even just kicking their ambassador out until they learn some good manners. This has made them bold to the point they are now annexing a strategic part of our territory with demonic abandon.

And as all his is happening, all our forests are gone, including Mt. Kenya, and rivers and lakes are drying up across the country. The Kshs 10 trillion per annum economy of our exclusive economic zone in the Indian ocean is dominated by foreign fishing fleets while we don’t have a single deep sea fishing unit worth the name. Why, for example, couldn’t we even use the 400 million assigned the Ministry of Fisheries in the last budget to dig ponds in my home province Western, to pay a deposit for a proper fishing vessal so we could catch the wild fish and not struggle growing some in ponds? No wonder we get 94% of our 70 metric ton fish from our 6% share of Lake Victoria and only 4% from the Indian Ocean, yet the annual yield of fish from our Indian Ocean waters is 200,000 metric tones! This fish is caught by foreigners!!! Why can’t we deploy Mungiki, Sungu Sungu, SLDF, etc. to catch these stocks of fish? WHY? WHY? WHY? Why are most of our resources being abused as poverty ravages and reduces us to wild dogs who kill each other over left overs? WHY? WHY SHOULD MUZUNGUS COME FROM NORWAY AND SPEND SIX MONTHS FISHING AND EXPORTING FISH NONSTOP AS WE WATCH IN AWE ON THE SHORELINE WITH FISHING RODS???

WHAT A DISISTROUS PECKING ORDER!!!

Over to you!

Omtatah,

If a rag tag army is formed by like minded Kenyans like you and I, believe me I will be there to fight, even with slings and stones. I have been to these fish rich Islands like Remba, Ringiti, Migingo and I know how much they matter to the local community, and by extension the Kenyan economy. Large amounts of fish exported from Kenya(especially the Nile perch)come from these Islands.

For Uganda to come over 300Km to claim an Island 15Km away from the Kenyan shoreline(Miuru Bay) is an absurdity that even Kibaki and Wetangula cannot explain what they have been negotiation.

Like I said here before, this Commader -In-Chief,General Kiguoya will not be relied upon to get us back Migingo. Let us serve a 14 day notice to Kibaki to act on Migingo or we shall mobilize the people from Kericho,Awasi, Ahero, Kisumu all the way to Busia to make sure no goods pass through to Uganda, all such goods destined for Uganda should be impounded by the common Mwananchi for the good of Kenyans.

The same way Uganda is defrauding forcefully Kenyans on Migingo, so should the people of Kenya take by forceful means their goods.

Enough time for this nonsense of negotiation from Wetangula and Kibaki.

This word should be spread through email, sms, word of mouth etc and a date set for a peoples action against Uganda’s raping of our sovereignity.

I suggest, a 14 day notice beginning 17th April 2009. Omtatah, with your legal jargon, you can write the notice and pass it on to BiddiAfrica and all Kenyans of good will shall sign.

It is time to act on Migingo!!!

Guys,

Usually I dont comment on Kibaki’s leadership, but his silence over the matter has been bad.

Migingo island is creating a rift even outside here with our Ugandan colleagues. Who is cheating who? The kenyan delegation went to kampala and they agreed on some raft measures to be undertaken which included;
– The uganda forces withdraw from the island
– The ugandans lower their flag.
– The Ugandan authorities npt to levy any charges on the kenyan fishermen.

Minister for Foreign affairs conveyed the message to the Kenyans who were very happy. Of course the measures were to be undertaken as the profesionals in the field for both countries decides who owns the island .

What we heard they following day after they met from a one ombori(the kenyan chairman of the beach) was not good. Instead the ugandans reinforced their forces on the island.

Then Kibaki meets Museveni in Lusaka, the same promise was made , this time by the chief commander himself that those guys are withdrawing- what they do- museveni sent more Army!!! who is fooling who- ? categorically i will say it is kibaki and the kenya delegation.

My suggestion;
– In Nyanza we ave enough ragtag army who can do the job- The chinkororo of Kisii, Baghdadboys of kisumu, the Kuria redhat army assisted by the Transmara morans and of course the Kalenjins warriors.
.If the Government is not protecting its citizens then the people ought to protect themselves.

Kudos to the Thai people who have the guts to teach their government on how to perform their duties.

John Kerina,

You also forgot the Taliban and Angola-Musumbiji that can be revived and funded, with our very own contribitions if need be to fight for our dignity if General Kibaki Kiguoya is trying to embarrass Kenyans by not deploying our army to do what we pay them to do given Uganda has shown clearly that they are not going to give up on Migingo with negotiations, these armies should be used tactfully.

The first tactic is to “employ” the armies to “levy taxes” on all goods headed to Uganda via Nairobi-Busia road.

This will be in retaliation to Uganda levying taxes on kenyan fishermen on Kenyan soil. If Uganda still continues to be obstinate, there should be an all out blockade of any good heading to Uganda.

Kiguoya Kibaki should not think Kenyans shall look as he sells our motherland.The armies will keep his forces very busy at home along the Nairobi-Busia Highway because as sure as sunrise, Kiguoya shall deploy them on Kenyans fighting for their very own sovereignity.

In retrospect, the army will be “doing something” for what we pay them,if they cannot engage our enermies, they will be deployed, as has been the case, on innocent citizens.

As things stand, all our bubble Generals are doing nothing that I can call worthwhile.

Triple O,
I agree with your sentiments without any reservations. Waiting for Kibaki admin to act on this serious issue may be a realy long long wait.
Let us mobilise our resources ( both human and material ) and defend ourselves.I bet the first option may be the modalities for crafting this people`s army.
We can then see how to contribute in order to make the army in force.It is illegal but I guess we are left with no any other options.Meanwhile , the embargo on goods to Uganda
should be effected as soon as the notice to Kibaki is over.

Masira and Omtatah and all patriots,

I suggest that the notice to Kibaki be given now to expire on the 30th of April 2009.

On the 1st of May 2009( May Day), the People’s Army should start by “levying taxes” on all goods destined for Uganda. This should continue for a whole month and it should be immaterial how many “toll stations” our boys shall erect between Nairobi and Busia.

If Uganda does not relinquish the Island in two weeks from May 1st 2009, an all out blockade should be imposed when all the goods destined for Uganda are “Nationalised” by the people of Kenya as payback for the taxes they collect from Kenyans on Migingo illegally.

This should continue until Museveni and General Kiguoya reach an understanding on why Museveni should annex parts of Kenya and expect to get away with it.

Subject: WE must reclaim our country!!!!

Dear Citizen,

Owing to our President’s refusal to deal with the matter of Uganda annexing Kenya’s Island of Migingo, the citizens plan to reclaim their land back. The Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces has abdicated his duties but as Kenyans we cannot abdicate our duties as patriots of Kenya. Like Kenyatta did when Idi Amin tried to annex parts of Kenya, we must stand up and fight with all means available this blatant greed by Yoweri Museveni, the greed to take Migingo which is rich in Nile perch, the main fish exported from Lake Voctoria and a potential for oil production on the island.

Museveni knows this, unfortunately for us, Kibaki is still playing the tribal politics with Migingo simply because it is not in an area that supports him.Soon, Museveni will lay claim to other Islands rich in Nile Perch like Remba, Ringiti,Rusinga among many others.

The resources of Migingo are necessary for this economy, moreso, our sovereignity cannot be compromised, right now, it is a great stake!!

What exactly is Kibaki and Wetangula “negotiating” over Migingo? How can you “negotiate” your own territory?

Britain fought a war with Argentina over a similar small rocky Island, the Faulklands, not for its economic potential but for the dignity and sovereignity of the British people.Argentina got a bloody nose and they have never played around again,till the Island issue was resolved amicably. Just like Amin never played around again after Jommo Kenyatta(RIP) behaved like a President should, protect is country, we must rise to the occasion.

If we let our neigbours start laying claims on our land, soon we will be “negotiating” with Somalia over Nothern parts of Kenya and God knows who else. This is a precedent that must be stopped.

The plan of action to hit Uganda where it hurts most, to have a blockade on all goods to Uganda in the next two weeks until Uganda relinquishes it’s claim on Migingo. The blockade should begin on May 1st(May Day).
Migingo is 15Km from Miuru Bay,on the Kenyan shoreline, there is no way it can be in Uganda whose shoreline is over 300Km away!!!

Because Kibaki is procrastinating on this, and every time they “reach and agreement” with Uganda, Museveni sends in more troops. Now Migingo is being patrolled by foot soldiers, helicopter and sea boats from Uganda. This is an act of war!!!!

Uganda is collecting taxes from Kenyans on Kenyan soil and Kenyans now need visas to travel to and from the mainland to visit their families from the Island where they earn a living!!!!

If it is disputed, then there should be forces from both sides and flags from both sides flying till ownership is established, why is it Uganda soldiers patrolling, flags flying and taxes levied??

As a patriot, send this email to as many patriotic Kenyans as yourself, that together as a people, we shall stand up and fight for our country even if our leader lets us down. Right now we are on our own on this, but we have what can hurt Uganda most, our port of Mombasa.

If we block their goods for over a month,along the route to Uganda in places like Kericho, Kisumu all the way to Busia, Uganda will soon come back to their senses.We may as well “nationalise” all goods to Uganda given they too are illegally collecting taxes from Kenyans. Our “boys on the road” should set up “toll stations” to collect these “taxes” from Ugandan bound hauliers. If Uganda wants to play dirty, we can play ditier!!!!

The struggle to reclaim our country has just begun.This will be a people of Kenya’s Innitiative to reclaim their territory.Where Kibaki has failed, we shall succeed.

Let as many Kenyans know of this initiative and when the call comes, let the people of Kenya arise to bring back our dignity and self esteem that right now Uganda is dragging in the mud and spiting us!! The day is May 1st 2009 when the action begins!!!!

Kibaki met Museveni only a few days and they agreed Ugandan flags would be lowered and soldiers withdrawn as they seek a solution, what did he do soon after? Send in more troops, a helicopter and patrol boats!!!!!

We have a Presidend only on paper, otherwise we are all alone, Kibaki as is known in some circles, is a General Kiguoya(coward!!)

Omtatah,

I was pissed off watching The Chief of the General Staff, ‘General’ Kianga dismiss the Migingo Island as a non issue.

This was a very sad day for me.

He said again that they have not been given any orders to act, confirming our fears that Migingo is a deal between Kibaki and Museveni.

Lastly he said that if anything, we are going for a Federation and as much, we must not fight over small issues.

My goodness! That is the Chief of the General Staff talking.

1] How come to Uganda Migingo is a non issue?
2] The ‘General’ confirmed that they have no orders to act. I do not know why they get their salaries anyway.
3] If we are supposed to go the Federation way, is it only applicable to Kenya? It does not bind Uganda.

I join Okiyah Omtatah in defense of Kenya. And in recognition of that, welcome to the team. I assign you number 2, Right Fullback , in defense of Kenya. We still have a team to make;
1] The Goal Keeper;
2] Right full back; Okiya Omtatah Okoiti
3] Left full back; J O Mamboleo
4] Central defender;
5] Stopper; Kuria Mwangi
6] Midfielder; Odhiambo T Oketch
7] Right winger;
8] Central Midfielder; Judy Miriga
9] Striker; James Nduko
10] Distributor;
11] Left winger;Nicholas Oyoo

Then we will have the reserve team and the spectators.

They all make up the team. A truly Kenyan Team for Kenyans and by Kenyans.

Oketch,

These men you call Generals are not real “Generals”, these are political psychophants who are quickly moved up the ranks and others “retired” to create room for them so that they can lick ass.

True General are the likes of Mulinge, Tonge and Sumbeiywo, men of uniform whose alligience to country and constitution is above reproach.

Remember our gallant Generals refused plans by the Biwotts and company to refuse a peaceful hand-over to Kibaki in 2003. The ones you have today? These ones can sell the country and their wives if the price is right!!!

So our plan of action, fight Uganda our own way, mobilise our young Kenyans to blockade Uganda from May 1st 2009 till Uganda gives back Migingo.

If we fought the 2007 stolen elections and overwhelmed the election thieves, who is Museveni to stand in our way and rape our sovereignity? This message should spread like bushfire, soon the boys in Nyalenda and Kondele,Manyatta and Migosi will stand in the way of Museveni, the economic backlash will be so great he will not know what hit him!!!

The struggle must not be left to cowards like Kianga and Kibaki,we do not need a Federation with a country that disrespects us>

Uganda is flying its flags on Kenyan soil, patrolling land, lake and air right now in Kenya, this is an act of aggression and and hostility and an actual declaration of war…if Kianga does not think so, maybe it is time some young fellows replaced him!!!!

Subject: Saying the bare truth about Migingo

This is why Migingo is not a Kenya Government Affair

1. It is and has been an official state policy since 12th Dec. 1963 to sideline Nyanza Province and its people more so those who speak Dholuo in all it activities, Little wonder they keep on refering to it as the sleeping giant. Kenyatta began it, Moi perfected it and now Kibaki proves the point. He has served in all the three regimes from the above date.

2. It is very possible that this Island has been sold to the Ugandans but no body wants to tell Kenyans the truth. The consideration can be anything from a petty cash reward to the back-up Kibaki received from the Ugandan army in Jan 2007. We all know they came into Kenya and Killed a lot of innocent Kenyans in the name of quelling post election Violence- why did they wear Kenya police uniforms?

3. A certain school of thought suggests that there could be oil in that part of the world. After their Lake Albert find they are hungry for more sites, The reason more why Kenya should be weary.

4. The composition of the armed forces. Are we seeing what in Moi’s days was refered to as home guards? You do not want to send your children to war! You’d rather hire outsiders. However you need them to keep you in office. Perhaps the deaths of 20 homeguards is more painful than that of 200 citizens in West Pokot.

5. Kenya does not know its own Military capacity. It is unable to measure its own capability. What we see is just an ornamental army that can only be pitted against its own unarmed citizenry like they did in Mt. Elgon.

6. The powers that be do not have a direct benefit from Migingo. They do not have fish processing factories in the region and if they do, they have positioned them on the Ugandan part of the lake.

7. Somebody is sleeping on the Job.
