Folks,

I cannot understand how President Kibaki and PM Raila can turn against Big Brother’s order to urgently freeze Muammar Gadaffi Embassy in Kenya as well as Business Interests there as is according to United Nations policy and resolution, and also considering the position the International Community has taken as a decisive step to protect the Libyan people from an obviously power-hungry Dictator, who would rather kill his own people in order to remain in power. Gadaffi’s business interests in Africa is also crucial and is biting as they have joined the mafia and cohorts fronted by Indians and Chinese of the International Special Business Corporate Community who have ganged against the poor Africans, are in the business to scrumble to Africa to take domination of survival and control in Natural Resources, Oil and Gas, Ethanol oil from maize and sugarcane, dominating Agricultural produce for large scale business enterpreneurship and leaving zero for consumption, thus expounding poverty and hunger, fish and water for export and pushing the poor to HIV/Aids scam into concetration camps, taking away their community lands and Naional public land. They are the promoters of Pirating, Drug Peddling and Money Laudering, Human Trafficking and Human Organ Harvesters, Terrorism, instability, Refugee migration, excessive high cost of living, housing and food, desease, poverty and hunger, driving the poor and helpless African to a state of hopelessness and into extinction……….from their wanton excessive selfishness, gluttonness, for self-centered money and power……!!!

This is the strategy of Muammar Gadaffi with those of like minded African leaders who made up their minds and decided they will go down with Muammar Gadaffi, as the whole World remain united against their acts of brutality, crime and violation against Human Rights Dignity for Survival. Gadaffi having Omar Al-Bashir of Sudan as a darling friend, was against the Independence of Southern Sudan, and is a threat to East Africa’s Peace and Stability.

United Nations Security Council voted to enforce a resolution creating a no-fly zone in Libya. The African Members of the Security Council namely Nigeria, Gabon and South Africa, voted alongside some other permanent members of the council supporting the same resolution. Nigeria went further to contribute in the Security Council’s debate in New Yort on the same issue, that the resolution was necessitated by the persistently grave and dire situation in Libya.

?
Muammar Gadaffi urge for greater power can now be felt affecting Kenya, East Africa and the whole greater region of Africa. There is a network steadily and forcefully taking the youth by surprises, the ongoing recruitment and mushrooming of organized gangry for terrorism through Drug concoction, targeting and snaking through our Universities, schools and colleges, as well as those jobless graduates. Recently a young Engineering University student girl was lured and forced into joining such group but subsequently killed when she resisted.

Notwithstanding the clear laid out comprehensive burgain offered to Muammar Gadaffi to step down, and measures instituted under Resolution 1970, the Libyan authorities have continued to violate the terms of the resolution and fundamental principles of The International Law.

There is no doubt that Gaddaffi’s continued hold on power is a burden to his own people and a grave threat to the African livelihood and survival including the security to International Community, as Gadaffi is heard sounding serious threats and revenge.

May Kibaki, Kalonzo and PM Raila come clean and tell the public what they know and what public do not know in their shared interest with Gadaffi, and why they are stubborn, not standing together with people of the world to save crime against humanity by Libya’s Gadaffi and equally urgently freeze all his interests in Kenya…….???…….Can they defend their cause for the world to know……?

Gadaffi seems to be enjoying the Mercinaries supply he is receiving from East Africa and other parts of African Nations, as he has been heard bubbling out and bragging. His sources of Mercinaries should also be curtailed and frozen by the World Leaders, NATO, United Nations Security Council in support of the People of the World who must stand together to shun his acts of terrorism and violation of Human Rights.

This cannot be acceptable and a stop should be put to curb his threats and other human life destructions in Libya, Africa and the greater Global Region of the World. Gadaffi is repeating political strategy as what happened to the former President of Ethiopia Mengistu Haile Mariam, who sold his people and country to the Soviet Union powers and migrated to Zimbabwe. We are seeing a repeat of the same by Kibaki and Team, MP Raila with team.

The reason why Luos and their lands were sold to Dominion Business Company, then enjoined Dominion with Mollasses and Spectre for self-centred business (donated and funded by the Luo Community). We are yet to know what happened to Ofafa Maringo, the Luo Thrift Project, where does its money go to…????………We demand for answers, this and many more to come…….before one can be cleared to represent public office in the New Constitution……Follow the threads and connect the dots……People…..!

This calls for President Kibaki and PM Raila to heed Big Brother’s call, to urgently close Muammar Gadaffis Libya’s Embassy there, and freeze his Business Interests and corrupt deals and networks in Kenya with immediate effect.

It is therefore imperative for the UN Security Council to strike a balance and urgently remove Gadaffi and ensuring a peaceful era after his exit. That is the only way to ensure that Libya does not spread the cancer to international peace and security.

Thank you all,

Gadaffi, Mubarak in Sudan ahead of southern vote

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Libyan leader Muamar Gadaffi held talks with northern and southern Sudanese leaders on Tuesday on outstanding differences overshadowing a landmark vote next month on independence for the south.

Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz also joined the mini-summit with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and southern leader Salva Kiir in Khartoum with key issues still undecided ahead of the January 9 referendum in the south.

“The summit recognises the depth of the links between the north and the south of Sudan and the importance of building solid relations based on mutual benefit, peace, stability and economic development,” said a short statement read out by Egyptian Foreign minister Ahmed Abul Gheit afterwards.

“The two sides undertook to maintain cooperative relations based on these principles and also agreed to refrain from any step that might disturb the holding of the referendum,” he added.

Egypt’s official MENA news agency had said ahead of the talks that their aim was to “discuss ways to help the Sudanese partners reach agreement on outstanding issues which prevent the full realisation” of their 2005 peace accord.

But Abul Gheit did not go into further details of the discussions, and the Egyptian and Libyan leaders flew out after less than three hours on Sudanese soil.

Sticking points

The largely Christian and animist south is to vote on January 9 on whether to remain united with the Muslim north or break away to form an independent country.
The referendum is the key plank of the 2005 peace deal that put an end to two decades of civil war between north and south.

Gaddafi Gift That’s Raising Questions
Billy Muiruri
8 February 2011

Nairobi — It looks like Mr Kamlesh Pattni can never keep out of trouble. Shortly after the architect of the Goldenberg scandal led a delegation of elders to Libya, he is under investigation over the source of a leopard skin presented to President Muammar Gaddafi.
The skin was one of the gifts given to Mr Gaddafi when more than 50 Kenyan elders visited his country.

It is not yet known how Mr Pattni got hold of the leopard skin and took it to Libya. To export animal trophy outside Kenya, one would normally need permission from the Kenya Wildlife Service.

Representing communities

Ordinarily, Kenya Wildlife Services has to license either a wild animal or products made out of animal parts to leave the country, said the director Julius Kipng’etich.

“Such a gift that involves wild animals or products from the same must be licensed by KWS before leaving the country,” he said.

Mr Kipng’etich made it clear that if the consignment was from the country and wrongfully declared, those involved would be charged.

“Even if it is from another country, we will liaise with our counterpart institution to establish its source through the rule of traceability,” said Mr Kipng’etich.

Mr Pattni has recently emerged as the unlikely leader of the House of Traditional Elders of Kenya, a group patronised by the oil-rich Gaddafi who is sponsoring similar initiatives across Africa.

The so-called House of Traditional Elders of Kenya, was registered on December 22, 2009, with Mr Pattni as chairman and elders claiming to represent major Kenyan communities holding the other offices.

Other officials in the Registrar of Societies list are Riaga Ogallo (vice-chairman), Phares Ruteere (secretary-general), and Vincent Mwachiro (treasurer).

Former Ol Kejuado County Council chairman Daniel ole Muyaa is the organising secretary, Haji Ahmed is the deputy secretary and Peter Mumia is the national coordinator.

There is also Julius Nyarotso as deputy treasurer, Thuita Mwangi as deputy organising secretary and Sam Muumbi as deputy coordinator.

A month ago, elders from across the country visited Libya where they were granted audience by Mr Gaddafi and at which the leopard skin was presented. They used the opportunity to hold out the begging bowls for projects worth billions of shillings.

The mission left Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on January 3 on a jet sent from Tripoli and returned on January 9.

It was the third time elders from Kenya were invited to Libya, receiving royal treatment this time round. A dinner with the Libyan strongman lasted more than four hours.

Details pieced together by the Nation show that Mr Gaddafi sent an Afriqiah Airlines (nicknamed Air Afric 990) to Kenya to ferry the elders.

In Tripoli, they were received by armed presidential guards and driven to the five- star Corinthia Hotel in luxury buses that also took them for a tour of the city and a few tourist destinations in the outskirts of Tripoli.

On the third day, they met Mr Gaddafi in a tented area near his palace.

“We were awed by his simplicity and generosity. We sat with him and an official army vehicle brought two camels that were slaughtered in our presence. We were told it was a sign that we were valued visitors,” says Mr Daniel ole Muyaa.

In turn, they presented to him some gifts that included the now contentious leopard skin, a spear, his portrait with US President Barack Obama and several African traditional artefacts.

Apart from the all expenses paid trip, the elders were each given money for “shopping”.
“We were given $1,000 (about Sh 81,000) each,” says Mr Peter Njoroge, a director with Amani Sasa Foundation.

One of the key items on the agenda was the funding requests for various projects.

“Each community had their proposals due to different needs and what we are doing now is to fine-tune them,” says Njuuri Ncheke secretary-general Phares Ruteere.

For example, the Meru elders’ proposal worth around Sh500 million included funding for two modern market centres in Meru and Tharaka Nithi counties.

“We shall also build two cultural centres, which will be crucial tourist sites,” says Mr Ruteere.

A document seen by the Nation shows that the first tranche of $2 million (Sh162 million) is earmarked to set up offices in 248 districts and targets about 600 elders as coordinators.
Each of the offices will have a telephone, a computer and “a means of transport”.

Already, the Luo Council of Elders has received a van which has incidentally stoked controversy between ousted chairman Riaga Ogallo and a group revolving around the new boss, Mr Willis Otondi.

Although Mungiki founder Maina Njenga is not an elder, he was part of the delegation at the request of Mr Gaddafi, according to Mr Pattni.

The elders were shocked to find Mr Njenga and his entourage of 10 on the jet to Tripoli.
Some asked why he was allowed such a large retinue while their communities had a maximum of two representatives each.

“I did not know of Njenga’s presence till we were in the plane,” Mr Ruteere says.
However, he added that in African traditions, a young man of “good conduct” can be allowed to be an elder. Mr Pattni explained that Mr Njenga has a group that stands to gain from the grant once it comes.

However, Mr Njenga’s team was unable to present their “Sh5 billion proposal”.
They were asked by a presidential aide to fine-tune it for the September Fourth Annual Conference of Forum for Kings, Sultan, Sheikhs and Mayors of Africa to be hosted by Mr Gaddafi in Tripoli.

Mr Njenga’s proposal, which is voluminous, includes agriculture, mining, tourism, and small enterprise kitty for youth.

“We have an expert working on it right now. It was too big,” he said on the telephone.
Political connotations

There have been a series of meetings with political connotations since the elders flew back. Only two days after their arrival, Mr Njenga and a few of the delegates held meetings with a presidential hopeful from Western Kenya.

“As we sell Gaddafi to be king of Africa, we shall also be selling one of our youthful politicians to be our king (read president),” Mr Njenga said in response to a query on the meeting.

But Mr Ogallo says politics makes or breaks and the main mission of the elders’ visit to Libya was “more economic than anything else”.

“Elders do things slowly but surely. Our main mission is to sell the African vision as our elder brother (Gaddafi) shares with our people what he has,” he said.

AND

Imenti Central MP Gitobu Imanyara now claims the sale of Grand Regency (Now Laico Regency) was used to fund the government’s campaigns for the 2007 general elections.

Imanyara claimed a similar plot was now being hatched to use the National Oil Corporation to raise funds for one wing of the coalition government for the 2012 general elections.

Imanyara told parliament on Thursday that the Libyan government which was allegedly involved in purchasing Laico Regency Hotel was now seeking the refund of its money that financed the campaigns, prompting part of the shuttle mission to Libya by Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka.

The matter arose following a question by Naivasha MP John Mututho who had sought to know who the owners of Laico Regency were.

Local Government Assistant minister Lewis Nguyai who was responding to the question on behalf of the Finance Minister said the Hotel was owned by Libyan Arab Investment with a shareholding of 98 per cent while two Libyan nationals own one share each.

Nguyai said it has not been possible to ascertain the directors of the Libyan Arab Investment company which is registered in Tripoli.

The question was deferred until next week when the minister will be expected to furnish the house with the list of directors.

Meanwhile parents of Aga Khan Primary school in Nairobi are now seeking the intervention of parliament to save the school from being privatized.

Through a petition tabled by Ndaragua MP Jeremiah Kioni the parents claim the city council has ceded the school to Aga Khan Trust Service which is a privately owned entity.

The over 400 parents claim the school was set up on public land in 1952 at a cost of 32-thousand shillings, a grant from City School Fund.

According to the petition over 800 pupils learning at the institution would be greatly disadvantaged if the institution was converted to a private entity.

The petitioners say the Aga Khan Trust Services is now interfering with the management of the school and its daily operations.

They want parliament to safeguard their interests given that the school was a public utility as supported by the title deed of the land.

They are also want the Town Clerk restrained from unilaterally transferring the school to the Trust.

The petition was directed to the committee on education science and technology which was directed to act on it within 21 days.

In other parliamentary news the government intends to roll out full scale issuance of identity cards from June this year.
