Where did the money for Kazi kwa Vijana dissapear to? where did the money for Peasant farmers to reduce poverty go to?? Who shared in the loot and missappropriation of the Education Fund??? Why is it that Luo Nyanza is lagging behind soiled in poverty while PM Raila and his family are swiming in wealth???

Subject: GENERAL OTO MAY BE FAILING IN THE TRENCHES.
General Oto,
This address is directed at you first and foremost as a person I respect tremendously, a great mobilizer and one with passion for a better Kenya.It is in response to yesterday’s posting in which you claimed to have been in the trenches fighting graft since the 80s.
During the Katiba debate, you and I among others led a debate online that put all the doubting Thomases back on reform track, like General Kombo and his elder bro. other anti reformists were put to shame by our deep understanding of the KATIBA and the Chapter by Chapter analysis that debunked most of the myths being peddled.
Incidentally, no man has married another since the katiba passed, abortions are not done on the streets as was feared by some and Muslims have not become superior to X-tians.
Today we are keenly monitoring the implementation and staying vigilant on it.
However, you seem to have been in the trenches too long and digging without stopping to look whether you are digging yourself into oblivion in the fight against corruption and it is burying you instead of you unearthing it. As a man who monitors how City Hall offers us services and reports to us, you are best placed to also play a very vital role especially unearthing corruption at City Hall and blowing the whistle for us.
You see Oto, the mere fact that since the 80s as you mentioned, you have been in the trenches fighting these lords of impunity and they don’t seem to take notice and corruption spirals means you have been fighting it in the same analogy I gave yesterday; trying to kill flies one at a time with a stick instead of using an effective spray.
This brings me to my point, for us to fight corruption, we must be very zealous asking all those named in scandal reports, be they FPE, Maize Scandal, Cemetety Scandal, Water Scandal, Oil scandal, Anglo Leasing, Goldenberg, Ndungu Land Report etc to step aside.
Look, these are essentials that make our life bearable, water, maize, oil, education and even burial for we need a place to RIP when we are done on earth, but the Lords of Impunity have made it a nightmare even to get a decent place to rest your tired bones in death????
This is how we can end corruption in Kenya, fighting it on all fronts, not according to political affiliations and definitely not the selective enthusiasm with some aspects of graft while blinding ourselves to others.
For this reason “trench-man”, stop digging in the trenches, look up, ask if we need to change the 1980s strategies.
Join me in asking that EVERYBODY linked to corruption in Kenya has already failed the integrity test and should not be holding any office in the land, right from the top down.
Now, I love debate of this nature and waiting for some informed discourse from you, the usual status quo operatives should stay away from this discourse because it is at a higher pedestal for their ideological posturing.
Warm Regards,
Otieno Sungu.
It Is Public Opinion that, Migingo, Ugingo and Lake Victoria business Conspiracy is being enjoyed between….PM Raila, Moi, Kibaki, Museveni, Chinese Business Community, Libya’s Gaddaffi, Kamlesh Patni, Prof. Anyang Nyongo, Oburu Odinga, Uhuru and Beth Mugo……..The Whole world need an answer……..Over 20 thousand fraudulent Chinese business investors were given license to do business in Kenya, and there is extreme fear that they imported prison workers from China with trained Chinese armed personnel scattered all over Lake Victoria and its surrounding………Drugs, Gold and Diamond, (Gemstones), Fishing Industry and Water bottling industries are also suspected to have been installed in Uganda around Lake Victoria to benefit the Status Quo……..We demand that United Nations and Leaders of the world send FBI to investigate and report findings to confirm the allegations……..Moody Awori’s brother is vice president of useveni in Uganda……..

The Kisumu Molasses Company
Today’s dailies report that Raila Odinga, Kenya’s PM, has pledged that members of the public who contributed shares to the molasses plant (close to twenty years ago!), will be allocated shares “once we are listed in the stock exchange.” My guess is that listing will not take place any time soon; certainly not before the 2012 General Elections (I don’t think Uhuru Kenyatta, who as Finance Minister has a say, will countenance that), and probably not before 2017 (or even 2020, or even 2030). So, if there was any cheering at the Tom Mboya Labour College where the announcement was made, who’s kidding whom?
The bigger question, though, is this: What makes Raila Odinga think he’s the one to decide when — or, as has clearly been the case to-date, if — co-shareholders of the molasses plant are to be allowed into the company, to share in the olemo with the Odinga family?
On page 20 of the busiess section of Daily Nation of March 23, 2009, Raila himself reveals that: “Locals contributed Sh 1.7 billion and a developer (Spectre International) brought $15 million (Sh 1.2 billion). This enabled the moribund plant to get on its feet.” Does that not give “locals” a controlling 58.62% of the company? Instead of the Odinga family, shouldn’t they, and those who set up the company prior to its becoming moribund, be calling the shots?
A pertinent point here is this: The Luo have no royal family, and never had! Just imagine what Kikuyus would have thought of James Mwangi if he had adopted the same selfish attitude with respect to the founding shareholders of what is now the giant Equity Bank — in which I myself have a very few shares!
Yes, we can blame past governments for Nyanza’s backwardness; but the condenscending attitude displayed by Raila over the weekend is very much part of the reason Nyanza continues to stagnate and whine in despondency. In effect, the buck stops with him. Increasingly, the electorate is restless in the face of this perpetuity — which is worse in many ways than the impunity everyone is talking about these days. This is impunity squared; and the joke is in the absence of detail and credibility.
The only silver lining I see in the pronouncement is that the intense pressure on the Odinga family by grass-roots Luo is finally having some effect. But promises will not do; nor will passing the buck to the usual “bogeymen”.
And then there is the historic injustice personified by the Luo Thrift Union. When will that be addressed? This was no Mbi-I-Kamiti, nor Nyakinyua, nor those many group land-buying companies that Central Province is so well known for.
If you ask me, the share allocation at Kisumu Molasses Company should have been effected at least a decade ago. In fact, subscribers should as a matter of course already know how many shares they have, and should already be co-beneficiaries of any dividend distribution so far authorized and made. They should not be treated like other retail investors who might wish to scramble for “peanut” share allocations during a promissory IPO which may not come in the lifetime of many in the rapidly aging and permanently deprived “cheering crowd” of Nyanza.
The time to allocate the shares is now, long before the 2012 election frenzy; and this does not require NSE listing. This should be the kind of gonywa Nyanza electors should be shouting about. The time to get serious is now. The people want to concentrate on development. It is the politicians who will not put politics aside. The people are not perpetually running for president, it is Raila who is — clearly not satisfied with being Prime Minister. Perhaps we should bite the bullet and keep the “Premiership” out of the constitution. Out, out, kabisa. It does not seem to be doing anyone any “real good” (power-wise), least of all Raila.

Dirty Asian rope in Prime Minister Raila Odinga
Kenyan tycoon in Sh7 billion Triton fraud arrested
Posted by Administrator on May 27, 2011
A July 2009 report by the African Centre for Open Governance (Africog) warned Mr Devani enjoyed good political connections. In this file photo Mr Yagnesh Devani (second right) is with from left Prime Minister Raila Odinga, former Vice-President Moody Awori and Deputy PM Uhuru Kenyatta when Triton company launched its operations in Kenya in 2006.

The proprietor of Triton Petroleum Ltd Yagnesh Devani was arrested in London on Thursday.
“I can confirm that he was arrested earlier today and he has been remanded in custody,” the British High Commission in Kenya spokesperson, Mr John Bradshaw, said in Nairobi.
However, Mr Bradshaw said it was not yet known when the suspect would be extradited to face fraud charges.
“The court is yet to set the date for extradition hearing before he is brought back,” he said.
It is during that hearing that the formal request for extradition and all the supporting documents shall be put forward.
On Monday, a British minister assured the government that his country would hunt down Devani — the man behind the Sh7.6 billion Triton oil scandal — and extradite him to face justice in Kenya.
Earlier, the British minister asked the government to extradite Nambale MP Chris Okemo and former Kenya Power and Lighting Company boss Samuel Gichuru to the UK to face money-laundering charges.
Attorney General Amos Wako has submitted arrest warrants against Mr Okemo and Mr Gichuru to Chief Public Prosecutor Keriako Tobiko to start the extradition process.
Criminal procedure code
Mr Devani fled the country in 2009 following the Triton Oil scandal. The government sought the help of Interpol to track him down.
He had been charged in absentia for stealing Sh955,334,094 from Kenya Commercial Bank, and 26,216.60 tonnes of oil at the Kipevu storage facility in Mombasa valued at Sh1,532,272,140.
The criminal case against him was later withdrawn under Section 87 of the Criminal Procedure Code. This means the same charges can be brought against him again.
The scandal can be traced to 2008 when Triton Oil Company was allowed by Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) to collect oil valued at Sh7.6 billion and sell it without permission of the financiers.
In the wake of the fuel shortage witnessed in 2008 and following complaints by oil marketers and financiers, KPC ordered an internal audit of oil stocks in its systems.
The audit revealed that stocks amounting to 126.4 million litres were irregularly released to Triton Petroleum Limited between November 2007 and November 2008.
Triton was not entitled to the stocks, nor did financiers authorise the release as required under contractual arrangements.
A July 2009 report by the African Centre for Open Governance (Africog) warned Mr Devani enjoyed good political connections.
“Triton’s executive chairman and managing director, Mr Yagnesh Mohanlal Devani has been described as a shrewd 43 year-old businessman who lives large and hobnobs with the high and mighty. A 2006 ceremony to open Triton’s LPG depot was attended by political bigwigs, including then Vice-President Moody Awori, several cabinet ministers, Hon. Raila Odinga, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, and several permanent secretaries,” Africog observed.
Mr Devani’s ties with the powers that be started during the Moi regime when Triton clinched the lucrative contract to supply petroleum products to the Kenya Power and Lighting Company several times.
Triton was also among the firms named in Parliament over allegations of money laundering. The firm is alleged to have received suspicious loans from Charterhouse Bank.
Mr Devani fled the country in 2009 and a warrant of his arrest issued.
Mr Devani was accused of stealing Sh2.7 billion from KCB.
The bank has also sued Triton for Sh2 billion for oil imports secured by the bank through debentures.
Several of his senior managers and workers including Mr Peter Kimathi, Mr William Mundia and Mr Sunil Somai were charged with criminal offences relating to the Sh7.6 billion oil scandal.
The directors, however, argued before court that they could not take plea on behalf of the company, and on Thursday a Nairobi court ruled that the three would not be facing criminal charges.
