Kenya: Freedom of Speech and Association in Miguna Miguna Saga is Threatened

from Judy Miriga

Folks,

1) I do not support the move of Okinda and others to threaten Eric Oduya. The New Constitution brought on surface to the voiceless, a voice of reason to recogn with. The Truth is a Fact, but if you doubt it, you can only defend it with convincing good reasons, the era of threats are all over and gone. Threats are therefore not acceptable……..

2) I do not support sacking of people without due cause or reason causing them untold suffering, agony and mental torture. PM Raila cannot fund or support Peasant Farmers in Luo Nyanza in an organize independent planned arrangement that benefit all in a fair manner, BUT can easily organize in a heart beat for those projects in the South of Human Industrial Area like the “Top Skin Cut” for Chinese harvest……. how do you balance project of “The Cut” to food for “Survival”……??? These are signes of failed priorities……not good qualities for a Leader…..!!!…..Funny enough, this is only secluded in Luo Nyanza per se….!!!!!

3) PM Raila is a servant of the people not the Boss………and a Servant must listen and pay attention to what the people want and how they wish to be governed……he must be slow to send Boot-Soldiers in a Mission to inflict injury to voters…….

4) What Raila did is a show of Dictatorship with an iron fist. In it there is no mercy nor Human empathy. In reality, many Luos have suffered in the past and have spent all their lifetime money to buy favour and support from PM Raila. We have facts and figures. We are ready to table and lay bare when worse come to worse. We will not accept repeat of what we have struggled to achieve over the years. Raila can have the Army of the world, but we will face him squarely………The truth will be told in day broad daylight and in the Sunshine………We want Raila to defend himself against these allegations personally if he want to win interests of both Locals and the International……….Luos are suffering that is a fact, …….A case of Mollasses has history dating back to include Robert Ouka wuod Seda, where an ugly dissagreement between Raila and Ouko over Mollasses was not a secret. Raila should come clean and tell the world, why he is engaging in under current scheme to instil fear on those who challenge is unacceptable way of doing things. He said he accepts challenges, why is he not providing a level playing field for free speech. Yes, these are undercutting very dangerous maneuvres and deals that must be ironed and cleared in the open. It is because, we have lost many of our Luo Statesmen including Dr. Robert Ouka wuod Seda being a Kanu damu, was genuinely loved by all, if not for selfish self-centred attitude with dangerous sneaky undercutting maneuvres, he would be still alive today……..if we only shared in Love, Caring and Unity with each other, the brain from Luoland was doing so well to improve economic condition of the whole Nation, would have put Luo Nyanza into a path of economic development for sustainable progress instead of being dormant and by day going backwards soiled in poverty…….to a point today, we are a sell-out……..In the event we are not benefiting or profiting, but our Natural Resource and Wealth is taken by Chinese and Indians on a BLANK CHECK. The same is the reason we suspect, why mysteriously after short illness and in a sudden death we lost Mr. Kassim Owango, after working so hard and putting things in the perspective for KIE, Kenya Industrial Estates development Agenda for Medium and Small business entrepreneurship and COMESA, for the Common Trading Eastern Business Block……….His problem got expounded over serious disagreemnt of Water Hyacinth in Lake Victoria, and again because of sneaky maneuvres, some people made allegations that Kassim was not social with people, I disagree this should not be a short-cut to terminate life….and equally, that does not demand for his life being cut short because, to some and most importantly, his family valued him………We know he was working so hard so the Luo Nyanza and the People of Kenya generally, do not loose the valuable Wealth of Lake Victoria along with its Natural Resources in and around the Lake pase…….After his death, Lake Victoria and Migingo was taken in a heartbeat………We have people like Joshua Okuthe equally a Millionaire Luo who never engaged in politics at all, had also to die suddenly and suspeciously. In Mombasa we had prominent Lawyers like the late Ibrahim Onyango the great fearless lawyer in Mombasa with John Metho Chief Registrar also died mysteriously, some Asians in Mombasa who had direct connection with high level politicians were untouchable, and so the fact of knowing reasons for their death died in thin air………why cant we worry about how our prominent Luos just die like chickens…. and nothing happening…..who has been paid or has a hand in how Luos have to be finished and why????……..

5) Why should our would be politicians not get into politics in Luo Nyanza freely without buying or corrupting their way out….??? Who said Raila owns Luo People or Luoland. Today, food production from Luo Nyanza land is targeted by the Corporate International Business community and one such is Dominion Investment, who carries business free hand without regulation or policy……many things are happening wrong, why cant we say anything how we can improve the situation other than being given a free blank check to do as he wishes in Kisumu Nyanza……Local and District Professionals would have been engaged in the plan and avoid unbalanced situation between food consumption and that for Trade in a smart greener thinking. We are worried the Agricultural business in Luo Nyanza are for PetroDollar, for Ethanol, for big money, the reason Majority Luos are being pushed out of their Community village land……..the businessmen are keen of how they can wipe all Luos through “Top Skin” Conspiracy, after they have failed in Malaria and HIV/Aids factor, a slow death puncture,…… so they can have the Luo Lands for their business venture, how can we keep quite? What is it that is not going on right for these Politicians cum Businessmen why they do not involve the Local Community in Cooperative Development Venture where shared interest and value is faily a common factor…………and especially we noted after these Luo deaths, their wealth equally dissappeared…….Dont we need an International Investigation Team here with ICC Ocampo to help us unravel the puzzle of these sudden deaths………. and therefore, we do not want Boot-Soldiers or bootlickers to scare us with irresponsible statements…..

6) How did the illegal Somalis, Pirate Somalis and Al-Shabaab in Eastleigh got IDs to stay and do business freely in Kenya if there is no conspiracy? How does the Government of Somalia operate from Eastleigh if the Coalition government is not under some sort of conspiracy and is completely rotten…….???

7) What is the purpose of the New Constitution and the Referendum if Security of all Citizens and Freedom of Speech and Association is not guaranteed to the people of Kenya….. How will the Needs and Demands under Public Mandate be delivered if Freedom of Speech and association is not guaranteed…..???……..How will we trust these leaders if they are not challenged on matters based on Truth……???

8) Miguna has a right to go public and speak the Truth. If he chose to have gone silent, he could have disappeared and would have been like those Luos who are long gone under suspecious circumstances……..This is because, PM Raila and Kibaki are working out deals together, and as usual, Luos are the ones sacrificed and who faces the brunt of casualties………..I therefore support the stand of Miguna Miguna just as Rose Kagwiria puts it simple and clear……

9) Do we have answers why some Somalis were sent back from Uganda to Kisumu and are seen operating between Siaya and Kisumu, are these the Mafia Macenaries…..??? Are these meant to scare the people of Luo Nyanza from having independent minds to choose and vote freely and fairly……???

Finally, I am smelling problems ahead, I am worried that the 2012 election will not be free and fair. We demand that the United Nations and the International Leaders step in and help unravel some of the rotten things that are suspeciously undercover, that still will continue to hold Kenyans from getting into the Road to sustainable Governance with Just rule of law, through making ICC and Ocampo to thoroughly interrogate the two Principles, i.e. Kibaki and PM Raila………as we will never be on the track to achieve Reform away from Corruption, Graft and Impunity for a better future …….

This is all because, PM Raila Asked for It……..!!!

In Dignity and for Fairness, let us dialogue without Fear or Intimidation, so the Truth Shall Set us all Free……!!!

Thank you all,

MIGUNA MIGUNA LATEST SMS TO JOURNALISTS

On August 15, 2011, in Ministers, by admin
“PM claims my suspension is “normal government procedure”. Can he name the procedure & what law allows it? What procedure violates due process, the principle of natural justice & the Constitution and remains valid? I work 4 the executive whereas Midiwo works 4 the legislature; what law allows him to be involved in the “procedure?” What law & gvt procedure allows them to leak the letter to the press b4 it’s delivered to me? Can the PM particularise the “charges”? Can he name the investigating agency? What law allows suspension without pay? The PM can’t hide under non-existent “government procedure”. What he has said amounts to misinformation & disinformation! It won’t work. Miguna Miguna

I agree with you how do we know that miguna breaks the law if he is fighting his case a lone something is wrong RAO should clean his house before 2012.

From: Michael Okinda
Oloo

Let us be people who can stand up and shout when things are not going on rather than agree with even things we know are not right.

Miguna double is a bull and you never scratch a bull and go scotch free, he must charge at you. This is what PM has been capitalizing on and has helped him defeat many battles.

One thing the PM should know is that ‘bado mapambano’ and if he has disgracefully rewarded one of his lieutenant then he is greatly compromised.

Whoever game him this idea must have been the damnest of all.

That was Moi’s behaviour and if he can do it to Miguna, then what make u think that he wont do it when he becomes the Country’s CEO? With that, I don’t see change

You cannot embarrass you lieutenant like that?

From: MBEMBA NZIU
JT,

I know you as a smooth operator and I know you are smarter than this.

Instead of issuing threats you should be discounting these allegations with facts not threats

Your threats will only confirm the fears in most” forrummers” that this could actually be true!

Why the threats why not just deny this from an informed position? Iam smelling a rat.

Mbemba.

I absolutely agree with Miguna double, PM must be man enough to know how to handle his advisor and not suspend him just like Moi used to do. If he is the atom of change we are anxiously waiting for then the features must be evident now. He claims so, he must demonstrate so.

What is it that Miguna did more worse than Ruto that has made him be suspended without even half pay? What was his staff got to do with that? Especially is someone has aggressively championed your ideas?

Honestly this is dispeakable and dishonesty of the highest order. Miguna was not treated right and he has the right to spill the beans.

Truth be told, this has cast doubt on PM’s suitability as a champion of open speak.

    Eric,

    Take heart, do not fear, they will listen, I dont see why not. Trust, condition will force them to listen. This is a changed era of Democratization earned principles……Thanks to our Good God we have lived to see this era.

    Our struggle has born fruits…..otherwise if not, Uhuru and Ruto would not be worrying about legal justice awaiting them at the ICC Hague even after full Government supporting them in every way and means…..YK’92 were even more lethal that boot-soldiers of Raila who servives in daily criminal deals and maneuvres…….these are easy catch…….

    The world has turned to be a small village……we cannot be short-changed anymore.

    Kenya will be soon cleaned to an acceptable standards enjoyed by all and it will stay and remain peaceful and safe for resourceful activities in conducive environment, we do observe every tiny details to make this happen…..Also,……Make No Mistake, no one will escape the watchful eye of the world, they will run but not hide…….and equally, trust that focused women who mean business, dont beat about the bush …………..when they aim, they aim straight……..we also dont fanthom deals made at beer joints………

    We shall overcome people…..!

    Cheers…..!!!
