Folks,

If the New Consitituion is not not implemented by 08/28/2011, the Coalition Government under Kibaki and Raila is over. From 29th August, they should count themselves out of Public Office. We must all agree to form A new Interim Government, a Caretaker Committee, that which will complete all pending BILLS within 6 six months, to be in time according to REFORM timetable, before election date of 2012. On 29th August, we must list and append prospective names for the Caretaker Interim Government. This must include diaspora and involve all Kenyans irrespective of Party affiliation, specifically those who care that REFORM AGENDA MUST BEAR FRUITS AS PLANNED AND AS IS ACCORDING TO THE NEW CONSTITUTION without delay or change. This is not a case for any foreign institution or foreign Government to determine, except Kenyans and Kenyans in diaspora. It is the will of the people, according to the Mandate upon resolution at the Referendum……..that, any changes or alterations including extension beyond the Reform Agenda deadline, those that are suspected to provide easy way or short-cuts for Status Quo, will not be accepted. There will be no extension of Wako tennure, no extension of politicians to extend stay and modify or change the rule on deadline, and altogether, IMF meddling, cannot and will not be allowed to hold Kenya hostage at Ransom……… Things must go according to plan………and ICC Hague, is the answer people……!

Kibaki and Raila’s dare devil and political drama must be brought to an end. It is become it has become too costly for Kenya and Kenyans…….. and truely, we cannot afford to loose anymore lives, money and time.

Both of them failed to comply, and failed to:

a) protect and preserve Public Interest and mandate

b) they both engaged in illegal and unconstitutional Public Money theft and Flight under unscrupulous International inconsiderate MoUs, (under oath) that did not provide a balance to the people of Kenya except they exasperated deeper poverty where they 100 folds gained from its profit instead of the public……

c) they both did not value, honor, respect or rated dignity of humanity according to empathy and virtue, and did not observe the International Rule of balancing poverty, health and environmental Agenda that which states the International Investors must protect local indigineous from excessive rip-off and poverty that which resulted to dangerous conditions where many lost homes and others have no reasonable livelihood as well. Many people got consumed in careless deaths from behaviors that were of special interests and self-centredness, carefree, unconcerned attitude and poor leadership management, which in case scenario, caused human sufferings and pain, in effect, they are cases of
based in irresponsible behaviors from engaging people of questionable characters as Agents, to perform illicit, illegal and unconstitutional acts and behaviors that were against public mandate.

d) They both Committed the country to loose extensively and deprived Kenyans from profiting and were exposed to unduly insecurity situations from not engaging Armed Forces to protect the boarders, activities that compromised security of lives at the boarder.

e) both are so compromised and are deeply into corruption, impunity and graft, where both are deeply engaged and are intertwined with the cohort and cartels of the Status Quo that cutting them off from the inner-core cord of the corrupt to wholly represent the public is a complete total dream.

f) that the country and the people have been auctioned and sold that the immediate remedy is to secure Kenya, is to get rid of the Coalition Government from inflicting more damage and destruction to Kenya and the people of Kenya.

This shows they are both incompetent, are deep skin corrupt with graft and impunity and must vacate Public Office by August 29th 2011, so ICC and Ocampo should take upon charging the two Principles PM Raila and Kibaki, to leave room for clean house, new players………

We can understand why President of Obama is frustrated with this Coalition Government leadership, and is worried of that the costly Referendum for the New Constitution he helped support to save Kenya and the people of Kenya, would go to trush…………the reason why Kibaki and Raila have no vision and must be immediately stopped from inflicting more untold injuries to the people of Kenya…….

Thank you all…..

Devolution fears

Uploaded by standardgroupkenya on Aug 16, 2011
Is there a powerful foreign hand in the war over county finance legislation between the treasury and the ministry of local government? Sources now say that a memorandum of understanding between the international monetary fund and the finance ministry may have tied treasury’s hands by prescribing tight controls of county funding by the central government. This comes as experts warn that the country should not allow a conflict between the two ministries to undermine the intention of devolution. Noah otieno reports

Devolution Vs Integration
Don’t expect Obama any time soon, envoy says

Published on 17/08/2011
By Rawlings Otieno

US Ambassador Jonathan Gration now says President Barrack Obama has no plans of visiting Kenya any time soon.

The envoy said Obama is busy with his presidential campaigns and is in no hurry to come to Kenya although he has Kenya at heart.

“Obama will come when the constitution is fully implemented, but as for now, he has no plans,” he said Gration.

He said that the US President was keen on how both the Executive and Parliament were going about the constitutional implementation and lauded the efforts that have so far been realised.

Gration made the remarks at his residence in Muthaiga Wednesday, when he presided over the swearing-in of 49 new Peace Corps volunteers, which also coincided with marking the 50th anniversary since its formation.

Empowering youths

Gration reiterated US commitment in empowering youths to take up political leadership.
Gration also expressed dissatisfaction at the slow pace of clearing necessary legislation for the full implementation of the constitution.

“We only have few days and there are some Bills that have not been passed. This is a worrying trend,” he noted.

While lauding the volunteers, the envoy reminded them that they were the image of America and advised them to make a change in the lives of the people they were going to touch. They have trained for 10 weeks in the country and are expected to serve the host communities for two years

LSK accuses State of ignoring rule of law

By Philip Mwakio and Nicholas Anyuor

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has accused the Government of disregarding the rule of law and failing to punish perpetrators of post-election violence.

The association also took issue with the Government’s opposition to the International Criminal Court process.

LSK Chairman Kenneth Akide said Kenyans would not be free as long as the rule of law was not enforced, as has been the case since the early 1990s.

“Implementing the new Constitution is as important as restoring the rule of law,’’ said Akide.

POST-ELECTION VIOLENCE

Akide added that the mood of the country has lately not been as buoyant as it was a year ago.

He went on to add that, since 1991, there were persons who had not returned to their land.

“Further to that, there are people who since 2007 post-election violence have not been able to live in their houses and land.”

He was speaking during this year’s annual LSK conference at Leisure Lodge Golf and Resort, Diani, Kwale County.

The theme of this year’s conference is “One year into the Implementation of the Constitution: Taking Stock.

Former LSK chairman Dr Gibson Kamau Kuria reminded lawyers present that the ICC referrals were a matter of life and death.

LOST PROPERTY

“There are suspects, who since 2008, have not been prosecuted. What has our Government been doing? This Government does not care about people who died and those who lost property during the mayhem,’’ he said.

Dr Kuria maintained that he does not share the view that the ICC process is bringing back colonialism.

“ICC has come to fill a gap that has existed as far as justice is concerned,’’ he said.

Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court has granted 327 persons status as victims of post-election violence.

Similarly, there will be no live witnesses during the confirmation of charges to the Ocampo Six at The Hague.

ICC Field Outreach Co-ordinator Maria Mabinty Kamara said only documentary evidence will be presented to the pre-trial chamber judges.

“The 327 persons are not witnesses but have a unique role and will give voice to other victims,” she said.

Speaking in Kisumu at a journalists’ training, Kamara said the talks about the Ocampo Six would not affect the proceedings since the court is not influenced by public opinion.

The co-ordinator said the views of the victims were vital to the international court in establishing the truth.

Kamara said out of the thousands of victims who applied to testify before the ICC, only 327 were successful.

“With the help of NGOs, we managed to find those who will testify at the court. This will be helpful in finding justice in the Kenyan situation,” she said.

She, however, said the victims will not appear before the international court, but will be given legal representation.

Speaking in Kisumu at a journalists’ training, Kamara said the current talks about the Ocampo Six would not affect the proceedings since the court cannot be influenced by public opinion.

“There are so many courts, including the court of public opinion. This is different from ICC,” she clarified.

“The court has ruled out cases of Genocide and war crimes in Kenya and the witnesses will testify only on issues of crime against humanity,” she added.
