Folks,
As we struggles to intervene for Peace and Stability through Democratization process for Kenyan Citizens, we see ourselves in BARACK OBAMAs mirror of Faith and Hope, that we will no doubt fulfil the DREAMS of many in transforming the struggles for countries in Africa such like Kenya with the same dedicated and persistance spirit that, Kenyas future as well as those of other African Nations struggling to see light, will in a Teamwork coordinate and through distant engagement with Popular support participation on the ground, including Civil Societies, will together collaborate in dialogue to DEMAND for CHANGE we dearly quest for. This will be alongside concerted efforts with the intervention of the World Nations Leaders, teaming up to Voice Concerns in order to stamp out nepotism and corruption and altogether pinning for accountability and transparency through Foreign Policy protection intervention, and eventually will provide the fulfilment of the promised CONSTITUTION as is the case for Kenya. I also believe that Everyone must be a participant in shaping Kenya, and they must be given an opportunity, a chance to information, Education, be accessible to health facilities, to food and housing and without intimidation to Civil Societies who are striving on the ground to be a voice of reason, who intervenes on behald of the hurting society. These Civil Societies are part of the bigger Team struggling towards the total eradication of Corruption, the Provision of Democratic Governance, Security, Transparency, and Justice, along with urgent implementation of the Rule of Law.
Consequently, any further delay in the provision of the long awaited CONSTITUTION to be delivered in a few months times, will be seen by many Kenyans, Diasporans, friends and sympathizers as an evasion of schemers by the current Government together with the sitting Parliamentarians to skip and avoid it altogether. For this reason, we as the DIASPORANS standing together in one voice with the Civil Societies in Kenya as well as the locals Kenyans, the International Communities, UN and Foreign Nations Leaders, The Diplomatic Representatives, friends and sympathizers, SOUND A STRONG VOICE TO PRESSURE Parliamentarians put aside all other matters in Parliament so they can engage in concerted efforts, concentrate to finalize the delivery of the CONSTITUTION which as the AGREEMENT Kenyans were promised A CONSTITUTION DELIVERY IN ONE YEAR – BUT as we close to December, even with the implementation of the Kriegler and Waki Reports, there seem to be clouds simmering above all these matters of importance. We see no indications or signs of urgency of some sort or debate in parliament. Legislatures seems to be having a fields day concerned with their own personal matters, unaware they have a job, service to public from where they are earning lugubrious amount of pay package salaries for no service rendered. Presently, there are no indication they are headed towards that direction. There is not going to be any election in 2012 unless the Constitution, Kriegler and Waki Reports are implemented. There is no short-cut.
We are seeing rebellion in Ruto over implementation of Waki Report, and PM Raila missing the mark by sympathizing with Ruto. I wish to remind PM Raila that he is a representative of the people of Kenya not Ruto. If Ruto has guilt panic attack and threatens to break away from ODM, so be it, there are many Kalenjins out there. The Waki Report, a good measure, MUST be implemented come RAIN come SUNSHINE. Prime Minister Raila must show solidarity with the people and he has to believe in peoples’ Values, Virtues and economic development and MUST respect Peoples cultural and social heritage. These are some of the top qualities of a good leader. If President Kibaki and PM Raila decides to walk away or resign from the principles of the signed Grand Coalition Government or wants to dissolve before the implementations of the same, they will have committed a serious crime punishable by the judicial powers enshrined in the UN because of the committment in the said signed agreement, and because it is an oath they took, and therefore, the world have all the rights to condemn them in totallity and charge them for Human Rights Violation.
It is at this point, as I represent the voices of many, I request the United Naions Leaders, President Bush of America and President-Elect Barack Obama, President Gordon Brown,
Canadian President, President of Germany, of Rassia of France, of Italy, of China, of Japan, all Presidents of the European community and well as those of Asia to speak with one voice, to make direct calls to President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila and share the
concerns of the people and friends of Kenya, pin them down to their commitments and agreement, that it is high time they put other matters aside, speed up and concentrate with the delivering of the Constitution to Kenyan before they go on recess during December holidays.
Subsequently, ECK Office should have been closed along time to save tax payers from loosing and looting money from unsuspecting Kenyans. Kivuitu have been proved without reasonable doubt, and upon his own words committed to have defraud, lied and cheated on good people of Kenya and that he announced Kibaki as the winner when he was in doubt not sure who actually won. So he lied on oath knowingly and misused public office and the trust bestowed upon him by the people of Kenya – yet boldly and without shame Uhuru Kenyatta recently on camera, acting like a prefect to Kivuitu spoke on television as if he owned public finances, he assumed authority demanding ECK and Kivuitu to stay put and with impunity should continue the stay enjoying Tax Payers Money as is allocated at their disposal. It is painstaking to Kenyans, ECK Kivuitu and Team who have been exposed by the Kriegler Commission and Waki’s with recommendation that they be dissolved, fall on deaf ears. Kenyans as well as the Prime Minister Raila earlier demanded that Kivuitu and Team vacate office immediately and that they better stand down, after Kriegler Report and Waki stated to that effect. It is a contravention of popular demands and of public interests
that President Kibaki and PNU members are continually stubborn. These are all manauvres by PNU cartels that speaks volumes, in which case, the few corrupt PNU Leaders along with President Kibaki are up to scandolously ponder, forcefully and mercylessly squander public funds as they pleases and altogether divert Kenyans attention and Public Funds, the Tax Payers money to serve their own selfish interests.
Prime Minister Raila should understand he is obligated to the people of Kenya and not succumb to walk-outs of office from such calls, even at breaking point or under extreme manipulative technique pressure or intimidation by the PNU. He needs to hang in there until we finalize and together we put the house together for Kenyans in order. I had warned early for people to tighten their belt, It was never going to be easy. He should refrain from quick quips he gives to press or Radio talks. We have experienced, it is hard to put sense in dirty corrupt minds like those of PNUs, and we know they are lethal and that is why we have put them in a cage with all eyes of the world watching. These are the culture of impunity we must weed out. We have no business to be remorseful with people who dont care about security and livelihood of others. They dont understand the gentlemans ways of dialogue. It is possible that under coordinated tactical pressure, PM Raila gets frustrated and caved in to their demand, this must not be so. Stand your ground Prime Minister and let the Law takes its cause. It does not matter even if ODM members names were listed in the list of shame. Each and everyone will have to carry their own cross. We know the master schemers of this political game of impunity who are peddling rumours for dissolution of the Grand Coalition Government. Not yet sweet destimona…. Raila and Kibaki must give us the CONSTITUTION first. No side tracking, other talks will come later. Each and everyone must carry their own cross.
As a matter of fact, there were planners who met and provided strategic measures before election to stay in power, they had placed beacons to wipe out some community whose actions backfired because they were pre-empted, but were seen as tacts and plans of genocide, who propelled reactions that stimulated boiling anger piled from over the years from the opposing community – consequences of drastic reactive measures against the planned genocide that were already became public information and known by all. So the community were not going to sit and wait to be slaughtered like chickens. The independent pannel of the Local Tribunal set up will include independent personalities picked by the UN from outside Kenya, know the legal implications and will clear the innocent as the Law requires and as is necessary. No one is going to be given a blank check. It is not PNU or Kibakis or our take to dictate terms.
Yes, Kenya is falling apart in bits and pieces, as we watch. Evidence are being destroyed in schemes and patterns, the Society’s hopes are dashed, hunger is killing people more than sickness and they remain undocumented, jobs are in scarce, public money are squandered at will and at the stroke of pen by a few, Leaders are dragging their feets and are busy diverting attentions from the bigger picture, and the Parliament is just watching the sliding of peoples hope being drained down the ocean. Something MUST be done and done soon. Because, they are awaiting to parade Kenyans like animals to slaughter house as they await coming election at 2012. These unscrupulous blood thirsty leaders are in strategic wait to continue to ponder tax payers money in a hurry, and evade the law for their commited sins, while at the same time, are unwilling to provide Policy provisions to protect ordinary Kenyans. They are not ashamed their huge earnings are untaxed – This is plain robbery. BUT not again. This is another reason why KENYA’S PUBLIC INTEREST MUST BE PROTECTED at all cost, and we must struggle to the finishing line. Top of all else CONSTITUTION MUST URGENTLY be the TOPIC of DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE (PARLIAMENT) without any further delay.
Kenyans are running out of patients, we know it, the youth are anxious, steam of hate is building up. We should not allow this to happen. If Parliamentarians cant do their work, let them say so, we are ready to chart a new direction. So people, let us all together exert more pressure for results.
I wish therefore to share recent news media reports that confirms Politicians are deeply rooted in the culture of impunity and they dont anticipate CHANGE any time sooner, that their intentions are to evade the implimentation of Kriegler and Waki reports along with the delivery of the CONSTITUTION. They must know, they do not earn tax payers money for doing nothing. They must provide results.
Thanks,

The issue here is about a cabal of leaders trying to hold the PM at ransom over the implementation of the Waki report; If I were Raila Odinga, this is what I would do;
I would not let murderous hold me to ramsom because of political expidiency. The truth be told, Raila Odinga and ODM called for mass action. Mass action and mass murder are not synonymous. We have had mass protests ever since the struggle for multi partyism began. For all I know, it is the police who have since time immemorial( in Kenya) killed innocent protestors during such protest. anger is always directed at the state…not innocent people. If anyone misconstrued mass action as mass murder and persued his/her own narrow agenda different from protesting a stolen election; that is another matter. If I were Odinga, I would tell such people as much. Political power is less glamorous than how history judges one. We remember with awe and admiration the likes of Martin Lurther King, Mahatma Gandhi , The Dalai Lama etc even though these fellows never or have never wielded political power. I do not understand why Raila would want to tarnish and smeer his name with that of people who have killed, maimed and robbed.
In Kisumu, Mombasa, Kakamega, Bungoma, Kibera etc, people protested a stolen election, people participated in mass action, however, their anger was directed at the state and they destroyed mainly state property, paralysed government and made sure the ecomony came to near a standstill. If anything, they became the victims of organised state murder. So how come it is in Rift Valley that the worst murders occured? Don’t we have Kikuyus in other provinces as well?
The argument that the mass murders were a result of stolen elections is hollow. In Kisumu where the worst protest happened, Kissis or Kikuyus were not the immediate target for the Luo, they sponteneously protested at the state for stealing an election.
The poeple who organised killings in the Rift Valley should come out clearly and say they used the stolen election as an excuse to disposes the Kikuyu in their midst their land.
Raila Odinga should be bold enough to stand up to such fellows; unless, offcourse he also meant mass murder when he called for mass action. Time has come when impunity must stop, this is not the last time we are protesting as a nation( whether a stolen election, food or fuel prices). We must distinguish between the right to protest and murder. The message must be clear, if you murdered in the name of Raila Odinga, tell him so, but do not include others who were using lawful forms of protest in your schemes. If you looted, do not equate yourself to the kind of protest we once saw Omtata hold at the police headquaters. We must never replicate these forms of uncouth protests under the guise of a genuine and lawful protest.
