Folks,

No more DRAMA, in summary, lets hit the nail on the head and solve the puzzle……..!!!

Corruption, Impunity, Graft, Mungiki, Somali Mafia & Al-Shabaab, Kibaki & Team, Raila & Team = (equal to) Goal Keeper Hassan…….It is therefore rumoured that remnants of Al-Qaeda and Al-shabaab is receiving material support in form and kinds from Kenyan Politicians for their security over Public’s stolen Wealth and for electioneering back-up……the reason Raila cannot work with independent minded Professionals, unless “Micky Moused” like Prof. Anyang Nyongo, who is easily compromised to pooh in his professionalism…………the reason Hassan is the Goal-Keeper of the whole episode, and why he is put at the Election Commission….Like I said before, and I repeat, they are all FOOLS as the world is watching details of their scheme……..and so Raila and Hassan cannot also stand Mary Angawa as the Official Judge in authority…….

Kano Community is one such victims just like Turkana who are being robbed off their land and wealth in a political schemed attacks to get rid of them from their land for unscrupulous investors……….people in Yala Swamp are equally victims, as their land is stolen from them by Dominion Investments who are dealing in GMO, the Genetically Modified foods which are essentially for ETHANOL PRODUCTION, but are not for human consumption……..is the reason for Molasses Plant expansionism for ease of products’ Raw Material supply……….This plan does not give a balance to human survival except for self-centred selfish business Political cartels…………

As usual, it is Raila game to lit fire, then ran away as if he was not there……..but he knew details of what he left to happen behind his office while he is away……….Miguna Miguna must not be fooled, as his life will dangerously be at risks………..He must truly watch above his shoulders……….There is a smell of a dead rat in the corner………..!

If this is what is against Miguna’s perspective, so be it…..AND…..Hague is the Answer….!

Without Hague, there will be No Federalism, the Majimbo Governance, and so there will be No Election 2012…….

The reason why Turkana is being finished………a million words from Raila will not provide remedy………they know their game plan, but are trying to fool the world………only IDIOTS cannot read through their manoeuvres………They are all in the Drama to change focus, to block New Constitution from taking place. We all know it and We get it, Loud and Clear.

Of course, Miguna Miguna as a Professional, believing in the things that are factual and realistic, cannot and will not get in the mix……..the reason for the galore…….!

Time is up, let Ocampo take over, rid us of the two Principles to face charges at the Hague on Violation and Crimes against Humanity……..As Justice delayed, is Justice denied……….

Miguna Miguna out of Raila’s Team
Friday, 05 August 2011 00:31

Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Thursday suspended his advisor on coalition affairs Miguna Miguna over gross misconduct, abuse of office and harassment of junior officers.
According to the suspension letter, the outspoken advisor will not be entitled to any pay for the entire time when he will be suspended pending investigations into his conduct.

Dr Miguna, who has served as the PM’s advisor since 2008, was on Thursday suspended and has also been asked to hand over all his assignments at the PM’s office to the Secretary Administration and also surrender all government assets under his custody. He was privilaged to have to his access a government car, drivers, body guards, government house, other public wares and also a plum salary.

In a letter read by the PS from the Prime Minister’s office said in part that his advisor was suspended over gross misconduct, abuse of office and harassment of junior officers.

“I have been instructed by the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister that you be and are hereby suspended from performing your duties as the advisor, Coalitions Affairs with immediate effect,” read the letter written by the Permanent Secretary Office of the PM, Mohamed Isahakia.

Dr Miguna is known for his fiery attacks against foes, real and imaginary, in a weekly column in The Star newspaper. The last straw came in an article he wrote on one of the local dailies, last month, criticising the leadership of the Interim Independent Electoral Commission chairperson, Issack Hassan.

In the article Dr Miguna said that Mr Hassan did not deserve to be credited for the IIEC’s successes calling him a poor leader who he claims can’t manage presidential, gubernatorial, parliamentary and civic elections with a ten metre-long ballot paper, said the article.

Previous occasion especialy the past two years part of the problem within the coalition government can be attributed to the poor working relations between Mr Miguna and his counterpart in President Kibaki’s office, former cabinet minister Kivutha Kibwana.
Other long running public confrontations have been with one of Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta’s fixers, fellow Star columnist Moses Kuria.

Even though the attacks at times could be justified, some of the complications out of the public activities of such figures is the assumption their utterances and writings represent the views of their employer. Therefore Mr Miguna’s attacks have been presumed to carry the Prime Minster’s approval, just as Mr Kuria’s assaults from the other side have come to be associated with Mr Kenyatta.

That probably explains that when it became apparent that Mr Miguna was part of the campaign against Interim Independent Electoral Commission boss Ahmed Isaack Hassan, his position became untenable.

Raila cracks the whip on Miguna

NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 4 – Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Thursday suspended his advisor on coalition affairs Miguna Miguna over gross misconduct, abuse of office and harassment of junior officers.

According to the suspension letter, the outspoken advisor will not be entitled to any pay for the entire time when he will be suspended pending investigations into his conduct.

Dr Miguna, who has served as the PM’s advisor since 2008, has also been asked to hand over all his assignments at the PM’s office to the Secretary Administration and also surrender all government assets under his custody.

When he was appointed to the PM’s office, he had access to a government car, drivers, body guards, government house, other public wares and also a plum salary.

“I have been instructed by the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister that you be and are hereby suspended from performing your duties as the advisor, Coalitions Affairs with immediate effect,” read the letter written by the Permanent Secretary Office of the PM, Mohamed Isahakia.

Dr Miguna wrote an article in one of the local dailies, last month, criticising the leadership of the Interim Independent Electoral Commission chairperson, Issack Hassan.

In the article Dr Miguna said that Mr Hassan did not deserve to be credited for the IIEC’s successes calling him a poor leader.

“As a lawyer, Isaack’s record is patchy. He isn’t a good courtroom lawyer, nor is he a good drafter or negotiator. In fact, Issac isn’t quick on his feet. He floundered badly when the ‘red brigade’ invaded the Bomas of Kenya where the IIEC was releasing results for the referendum,” read Dr Miguna’s article.

“If he couldn’t handle such a simple electoral exercise, he certainly can’t manage presidential, gubernatorial, parliamentary and civic elections with a ten metre-long ballot paper,” it added.

He further accused Mr Hassan of abusing his office when he recently declined to de-gazette 34 nominated councillors as had been requested by the Orange Democratic Movement.

In the article, Dr Miguna also said that the IIEC chairperson did not deserve to be reappointed as the head of the yet to be constituted Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

“People tend to serenade Isaack with all the successes of the interim electoral body without asking whether those praises are well deserved,” he said.

However Mr Hassan has not been the only one who has also received Dr Miguna’s backlash.

Former President Daniel arap Moi has also found himself on the receiving end with Dr Miguna criticising his leadership style.

Dr Miguna has also been at the center of a dual citizenship controversy, being a holder of a Kenyan and Canadian passport, although the law effecting this allowance has not yet been enacted.

Several political leaders had asked the Premier to suspend his advisor over the issue until his citizenship issue was resolved.

The politicians also asked the PM to open criminal investigations against Dr Miguna.
Reports indicate that he went on a self imposed exile in Canada during the former President’s reign before returning to Kenya in 2007 when he even attempted to run for the Nyando Parliamentary seat but lost.

Understanding Miguna Miguna putting Things in the Perspective

Posted on July 28, 2011 by jana-bee

For those who don’t know, Star columnist Miguna Miguna is a civil servant, paid by the tax payer’s money, and is not an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) official or spokesperson. He is the Kenyan Prime Minister’s adviser on constitutional issues and coalition affairs. Full stop!

Many of Miguna’s detractors always respond to his writings in a way that depicts him as speaking for the ODM. For the record, ODM has its officials and a CEO, Janet Ongera, who speaks on its behalf. As far as I understand journalism, the opinions expressed in Miguna’s columns are solely his and not those of his employer or boss’ party.

In the Star newspaper of July 25th, one Abdirizak Arale hit back at Miguna for the article he had written the previous week, saying that the Chairman of the Interim Independent Electoral Commission, Isaack Hassan should not hog all the praise for the success of the body so far in the handling of elections in the country from the time it was created to date.
Whereas he accuses Miguna of writing in bad taste, Abdirizak himself makes many sweeping statements without any substantiation. He says for instance that Miguna’s article was motivated by “ODM’s disappointment on the handling of the list of councilors that Miguna’s party wanted deregistered and the fact that Isaack could not be manipulated by ODM to bend the law in its favour.”

As I pointed out earlier, that fact is wrong. Miguna is not and has never been an official of ODM. The fact that he advises the party leader, Raila Odinga, who also happens to be the Prime Minister, does not make him a spokesperson of the party. Abdirizak needs to get his facts right.

In the same vein, Abdirizak makes some statements that if left unchallenged, will not augur well for peaceful co-existence and harmony in this country. In his defence of Isaack, he makes a general statement that has no basis. He says that Miguna’s article is “a clear manifestation of the hatred that Miguna, ODM and its leadership has for Somali professionals in particular and professionals from the pastoralist communities in general.”

This is stretching the argument too far without any solid basis. How do comments made by Miguna represent the feelings of ODM and its leadership? Surely, Abdirizak needs to get serious. He is accusing Miguna of hatred yet he himself is exhibiting signs of intolerance. What Miguna did was to question Isaack on certain aspects of his life. Is there a crime in doing that?

That is freedom of expression and no one has any right to interfere with it. Abdirizak may not be comfortable or even like what Miguna says but he should let him talk and express himself. After all, Isaack is an official serving in the public domain and the public has a right to question him in the discharge of his duty.

I agree that Miguna may have gone too far and seemed to be attacking the person of Isaack but that does not amount to an attack on the Somali or pastoral communities. Abdirizak and others should desist from dragging the names of their communities and tribes into issues whenever they are being questioned or interrogated.

In his article, Abdirizak further says that “if ODM was to have its way, no single professional from pastoralist communities would hold any constitutional office in this country.” Please! Looking at the appointments for ministerial and assistant ministerial posts that were made from ODM into government, one sees that Abdirizak’s argument holds no water at all. Members of the pastoralist communities were well represented.
In the latest appointment for candidates to spearhead the selection of new commissioners to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, the Prime Minister nominated Dr. Ekuru Aukot, a member of the pastoralist communities.

We also have other examples from other areas of great public interest in this country which exposes Abdirizak’s opinions as having no solid foundation. In the recent by-election that was to take place in Kamukunji in Nairobi, ODM’s candidate was from the Somali community. So where does Abdirizak’s opinion come from?

I wonder why Abdirizak is taking it upon himself to speak on behalf of the pastoralist communities. Are they special in any way? Does it mean that any person from a pastoralist community who applies for any office in this land should not be questioned and interrogated about their past performance in public life?

Abdirizak accuses Miguna and ODM of nepotism and cronyism while in the same breath he vouches for professionals from the pastoralist communities. Why does he only speak of the interests of the professionals, who are as elitist as he is, instead of speaking for the general good of the pastoralist communities as a whole?

In actual fact, I think that Abdirizak is not speaking for the good of the common man in the pastoralist communities, but rather, he is speaking for a few elite in that sub-group of Kenyans. Basically, they want to hog and protect what they can in the name of speaking for their communities.

By attacking Miguna using wrong facts, many people, even those endowed intellectually, end up exposing their ignorance of facts in the public domain. And I suspect Miguna enjoys seeing them making fools of themselves in the eyes of the public.

It is absolutely wrong for one person to vilify another person using wrong facts, the way Abdizirak has tried to do with Miguna. He should not drag other people and other groups into an argument that is purely between two people. Unless Abdirizak is a broker speaking for vested interests, he should try to get his facts right to support his opinions. Otherwise, let him keep the peace.

“Tact” is always thrown around when something an adversary did is described.

I did not see ‘tact’ being a adjective to describe mafiyan arrogance, with examples galore.

No where has Hon Miguna said anything without backing it up factually.
I like dealing with facts, not with some amorphous entity.

And yes as all of you can see, no one can break down Hon Miguna’s arguments, not only in this article but in the previous ones posted.

Lets face it.
His brilliance is self illuminating. He writes YOU READ!
ITS NOT HE OTHER WAY ROUND.
