Folks,

This and many others for your food of thought, I forward here under, although questionable, there is no doubt this featured the true drama Hollywood style, how 2007 Election Coup was set, formulated and executed. The result where Kibaki forced himself back to power in a genocide motivated circumstances where more than 3,000 people lost lives in thirst for true democracy. If this is the case, then we understand why President Kibaki is behaving in such questionable manner – People must therefore take note it is a sign of warning, public needs to prepare and tighten their belt for tougher times ahead. Take heart, no need to fear, God will be on our side.

Quoting George Nyongesa, Bunge La Mwananchi ” Kenyans must remain aware that this whole political game is a power ploy between the state and the people. It is upon Kenyans to remind the state that the state power is a derivative of the people power. In this equation, the state will use their instruments to show power and the people will draw on their inherent power of resilience and boldness to challenge the state’s excesses. History will confirm to us that in this contest, eventually, the integrated power of the people will always triumph! Change is surely coming to Kenya.

Robbing public off their victory under calculated violent act while steadfastly denying them freedom of information by curtailing MEDIA, in the event to starve the Nation under cover, manipulate security through sectionalized Police force by intimidation with associated Mungiki rebel threats under cover in order to instil fear so to manipulate stay-in-power which is understood to mean “Leadership Under Dictatorship control”. This must not be allowed under all circumstances.

Kibaki’s rule through such manouvres is evidential proof of the way he planted MUTHAURA (who is junior to PM Raila) to muddle events, he sticks his gun on the ECK Team which he cant get over with, he steers Saitoti (to inherit him) as seen in the control of Police and armed force, Michuki in the control of Finance Ministry, he sets Uhuru Kenyatta to steady watch over PM Raila, he positioned Kalonzo Musyoka to maintain the spoil systematically both in the house and outside, he appointed Mutula Kilonze as his spokesman, to Macho on the twisting of events and legal implication for escape route, we see how Biwot and Team are getting on board through the back door, we see how Moi is back actively campaigning in politics financing, fixing gadgets and bankroll machinery and equipment – come 2012 people’s energy to move on steadily on their quest to democracy will have waned and thinned out. It is very clear they are trying to evade the most necessary constitutional reform, which is why they keep scheming to 2012 election preparation, knowing too well they cannot escape implimentation of reform agenda number four.

Quote……”Former UN chief Kofi Annan has cautioned the Government against relenting on its reform agenda. Annan said Kenya was vulnerable to a repeat of horrific violence witnessed last year if reforms were not undertaken. Credited with negotiating a power-sharing deal in Kenya after the disputed presidential elections last year, Annan urged leaders to ensure Agenda Item Four of the Serena talks was implemented. He said there was sufficient political will to allow discussion and implementation of various promised reforms. “I have the impression sufficient political will now exists among coalition partners and sufficient unity of purpose among the public to provide Kenya with a historic opportunity for peaceful transformation,” Annan said in a statement on Sunday.
He also praised the Government for achievements made under the Grand Coalition, but stressed the need to implement recommendations of the Kriegler and the Waki commissions. The agreement signed by President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga two weeks ago, for the implementation of the Waki recommendations, Annan said, had affirmed Government’s intention to end impunity and reform the police force.
The reform agenda, Annan said, should move much faster, warning the window of opportunity for serious reforms would soon start closing. He also cautioned politicians against premature campaigns for the 2012 elections, saying the country could be distracted from more pressing priorities. The media, civil society, religious sector and other stakeholders, Annan said, should remain focused in pressing for advancement of reforms by the executive”.

The President has failed Kenyans on the MEDIA BILL……….. when he ignored local and international concerns on the Communications of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2008 to sign it into law on Friday, President Mwai Kibaki deliberately turned to syntax to justify an improper act. His Government resorted to propaganda to portray media practitioners, human rights activists and lawyers – among other critics – as too ignorant to understand depth and potency of the venom in the new law. He portrayed thousands of experts opposed to the law as too ignorant to comprehend the intricacy of his decision or too haughty to care for the purported good aspects of the new law and its role in fulfilling the Vision 2030 dream. We all want the country to prosper. We want a better future for our children, an environment that attracts investors, and a people who stand for the national good. But this can only be achieved with good laws, which is why we are upset with the President’s decision to assent to a Bill that negates the very basic of aspirations of our country. It is unfortunate that the President claims that section 88 is not part of the amendments passed by the Parliament in December, lack of quorum notwithstanding. This is the ominous section that empowers the Minister for Internal Security to storm media houses and confiscate broadcast equipment. It is curious for the Head of State to twist the truth, ignore salient issues and popular appeal and make Kenyans believe he is making a credible argument. It is alarming if he innocently believes or has been made to believe that the draconian law he has assented to is his New Gift to Kenyans.

Tana River residents not consulted on Qatar land lease
The Government’s decision to lease land in the Tana River Delta to Qatar is another manifestation of the State’s inconsistency relating to the development and future of the delta and its residents. It is a reflection of bad governance and a Government that is insensitive and unresponsive to the democratic rights and civil liberty of the indigenous coastal communities, who have occupied and used land in the delta since time immemorial.

Should the government lease 40,000 hectares of the Tana River Delta to Qatar?

How can it happen that the government is trying to lease out land and it cannot afford to feed it’s citizens? We are already experiencing acute food shortage and the govenment is still ready to lease out land to foreigners. Where are we heading to? … ……. …… asked Willy Birech, United States

Question Mark – Is Government Blackmailing Kenyans?
How was the decision to award the land reached? Was due process followed? Is it a coincidence that major decisions on the Tana Delta are announced in December through the media? The proposed sugar cane project was also announced in December 2003.
Why is it that the value of all the proposed projects revolve around the Sh2.4 billion mark? How come the Government is unwilling to provide appropriate information to the public, and more importantly, to the local communities?

Held accountable
Which ministry or State organisation should be held accountable and responsible for the decision to lease out the land? The Tana River Delta is rich in resources. It has many uses, users and interested parties. Decisions made concerning the region must take cognizance of this multiple use and sustainable yields of the delta. Before the Government proceeds with its current piecemeal and inconsistent development agenda, we urge it to formulate and develop an integrated land use master plan taking into account the region’s social, economic and ecological factors. This would revolve around crop farming, livestock herding, fisheries, tourism, biodiversity and natural resource conservation among others. The plan should be acceptable to all users of the delta and address their needs and aspirations. International interests must also be taken into account, like the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, which Kenya is party to.

What is the fate of Grand Regency Hotel?

Respect rights
The rights of the local people must be respected. Residents have a right to appeal because they believe the Government’s decision will harm them and their livelihood.
The future of Tana River Delta calls for equity and better governance.

Why would Institutions be holding Sh38 billion as unclaimed funds? And why is Michuki not comming clean, is he hiding under the wings of Oburu?
Financial institutions are holding Sh38 billion in unclaimed financial assets when widows, orphans and other dependants have suffered for lack of a formal mechanism to reclaim the funds. Assistant minister Oburu Odinga, however, said a report from a team appointed to investigate the matter would soon be tabled in Parliament for action to be taken.
But Mr M’Mithiaru said the banks were claiming back the amounts after some duration and asked the minister to come up with concrete solutions as Ekwee Ethuro (Turkana Central) called for an executive order to check the trend before the amendments.

Kenyas’ Security is compromised

With Iran’s special interests in Kenya, what are we not told?

Why is Kenya’s Borders compromised by the Presidents’ tactful schemes?

Where is Kenyas’ security as a whole? Or is Kenya really secure or AUCTIONED?

Is something cooking that Kenyans do not know???????? Is this kind of behavior by the President in order???????????

Raila calling on CRISIS MEETING:
This is a sign that things are not good …… ……. …. Prime Minister Raila Odinga has called a crisis meeting of ODM ministers and legislators to reassess the party’s “standing in Government” this Wednesday. The PM considers the development as a slap in the face after he had publicly assured Kenyans that the President would not append his signature to the controversial Bill. The move by the President has caused ripples in the media fraternity but there are indications that it could have even more devastating effect on the Government. Of great concern is that the simmering tension in Government could have dire repercussions on the political stability, including derailing the ongoing reform agenda.

Since the public will not DEMAND less for CHANGE, we must categorically continue to pressure the President to pursue the signed agreements between him and PM Raila, so before anyone thinks of disolving Grand Coalition Government, there is still goodwill to deliver the required reform to the people as expected of them.

President Kibaki is not on a joy ride with Kenyans…… open your eyes and open them wide…………
