HOW THE TRIAL JUDGES AT THE HAGUE WERE DUPED WITH FALSE TRANSLATION OF KALENJIN LANGUAGEBY PROF PAUL CHEPKWONY
Commentary By Leo Odera Omolo,
I am an accomplished authority n Kalenjin language and I was taken back when a witness for Joshua Arap Sang one of the accused currently appearing before the ICC Court at the Hague chose to deliberately cheat the court in giving misleading translation of language.
The world kimurkelda means someone whose teeth are rotten. It is not the word used ordinarily, but it is code and derogatorily or derogatory reference to the Kikuyus.
The other one which is commonly used, but which is already the domain of those Kikuyus who understand the Kalenjin proverb for Kikuyu is Kimoryong’. The latter word is also derogatory, but the users fear it could be easily picked by the targeted
I am suggesting that the ICC Prosecutor and Judges should look for an independent linguistic experts and translators of these two crucial words without relying on the witnesses flown to the Hague by the suspects whose evidence appeared to be totally biased and unreliable to rely on.
The word Kamama Kabmama kab neumametis meaning the place of uncle where one’s mother comes from. But it is also the Kipsigis derogatory reference for the Kisiis or Abagusii. This not n ordinary word commonly used unless someone has something to hide against a person of Kisii origin. So the truth and natural meaning of Kamama is in reference to the Kisiis.
Another example of derogatory words for the Kalenjin against the Luos is King’akut or king’agut meaning someone whose lower teeth were crushed or missing.
Although personally I have no grudge against Mr Joshua Sang nor do I have any political interest what happened in December2007 and January 2008, I did monitor a lot of Mr Sang breakfast top show Lene emet {What the country is saying } I detected a lot of talks which were not very friendly to other people whom I cannot mention here. After all I was not called as witness.
What hurts me most is that the whole Professor of Chepkwony caliber could choose to misled an internal court handling an important case of this magnitude the court on such an important case which Kenyans have a lot of interest.
Mr Sang had a lot of injurious words against Raila Odinga during the Mau Forest saga, which drew my attention to open his programme almost every morning. In most cases his words amounted to incitement, especially when he hosted the fund raising for the evictees of Mau Forest.
I knew Prof Paul Kiprono Chepkwony who was born and brought in village not far from Chepng’obop village in Kapsaus Location where I also grew up and I am sure he cannot doubt an iota of my Kalenjin translation.
Owing to this deliberate and flagrant pack of lies about Kaleniin translation, I am wiring the correct interpretation about Kamama and Kimurkelida words to the ICC chambers so that the judges could evaluate and scrutinize the true meaning of the two words.ICC judges will sought for proper interpretation from other much authority in Kalenjin language.
I am sure for certain the ICC chief prosecutor and the judges will sought for other independent translators instead of relying on Prof. Chepkwony
But I am sure for certain that Prof Chepkwony was groomed and advised to deliberately cheat the Judges. It is indeed a sorry state of affair.It meant I other words the suspects did not take the charges cases they are facing seriously.

Kindly wire this words to ICC Chamber for proper interpretation this witness are thugs in black sheep sickin

We understand your pain, with the sane breath, we hope you appreciate the fact that our relationships with the Luos, is over, for ever!
We shall never ever support a traitor like Raila, He assaulted us in Mau, and now he thinks that He can drag us through the Hague to make us support him? You people do not know us!
It is over! Even if Ruto is jailed, He shall emerge a Hero to us! Even if that happens we do not worship any one like you Luos, who worship the Odinga family!
If Ruto goes, someone who would be even more Radical shall take his place!
Our friendship is gone forever!
Beside that, you know nothing, and you understand absolutely nothing about our language and our culture! We do not use dogs for our ceremonies, and we do not drink the blood of dogs!
Your lies are crumpling, and that is why you are bitter and desperate!
For the,
Kalenjin Nation

Wharever is going on in Kenya is fulfilment of Jesus prophesy in Mathew 24. Jelousy and hatred are the root cause of all evil. Without jelousy Abel colud have not killed his brother Cain. We are all Kenyans and every time we want to be togrther, satan comes in betwee. Once we allon the demon to in us in the form of hatred we shall not accomplish anything.What happened in 2008 is bitter, where people cut each other like a banana tree. As a christian I pray God that we do not allow satan to plant demons into us and the only power who will open our eyes and help us fight demonic attacks is JESUS. Jesus is about to come and satan is fighting to win as many as possible. GOD bless Kenya.
Sir I do appreciate your mediocrity and lack of idea about what to tell us. Ditching Raila and his party is something else, and telling the truth before an international court in such a crucial matter is another thing altogether. If you don’t about the Kalenjin use of the dog’s blood in signifying an important oath?
You seemed to by taking full flight out of the truth and facts when you said you d.nt know any oath by Kalenjin community. How did the name Lumbwa Railway Station come about?
The station changed its name much late after Kenya attained its political independence. This is the place where the Kalenjin elders and the British expedition forces sprinkled around to bring peace and an end to Kalenjin rebellion.Mine is only to urge to stop this kind of sycophantic outburst and face the truth. I am not interested whether your friendship with the Luos flourish or come to an end or not, but please desist from this kind of mediocrity and jumping out of facts.
I really sympathized with so called spokesman for the Kalenjin Nation but he should be rest assured that Kalenjin Luo relations has no value added therefore we are not crying for any spill milk nor can we stoop low to blackmailing by political turn-coats for the sake of the so-called Kalenjin- Luo relations
I stand with my word that he two witnesses had duped the ICC when they gave the interpretation the derogatory words used by Kalenjin against the Kikuyu. This originated from he old days when most Kikuyus had their teeth eaten by chloride and made rotten.
May I also take ths opportunity to tell the so-caled Kalenji Nation spokesman to go through the archives and he will disapprove Bishop Koskei tesimony that Kalenin do not use dog’s blood for any oathing. What happened between the British expedition forces and the Kipsigis in 1909 at the end f the Nandi
The two group signed a treaty or peace agreement ending the hostilities and a dog was cut into half- and its blood spinkled around And that is how Lumbwa Station got it original name which remained official until much late after independence when it was renamed Kipkellion. Has my friend still having the gut of arguing over all these facts? At time it is paying for any sane person to stop this kind of sycophantic outbursts because not everyone is a political power broker
Anyway I am glad that my interpration has been well received by the relevnt authorities, nd if friend want to me interpret more insult words contained therein Mr Sang’s breakfast show broadcasting which I have in tapes, I am willing to do so. I hope he is not walking over the tail of a deadly block mamba in the grass.

We had known all along that you were one of our enemies, and it does not bother us, in any way whatsoever, it is great that your true colours and hate towards our people, ( The Kalenjin Nation ) is well established, and from your own mouth we now have a testimony to it!
What bothers us is the hypocrisy that is manifested in your acts, You run to the whites to worship them, why don’t you do something as a free nation! What was reasons of getting our own independence, if we depend on whites?
we as the Nation of Kalenjin, we stand solid firm and resolute! we were betrayed once, and as such we have learned to never trust as we once did, When we ended up with the murder of Koitalel. We fought for our, freedom, and it is the sacrifice that we are willing to offer again, for the survival of our nation; The Kalenjin Nation!
Kenya, as a country mean nothing to us, if our people are facing catastrophic consequences! it is The Kalenjin Nation-Our people that counts, at times such those! and as such we take it serious, when people like you are planing evil for us!.
You can tell whomever you want to, and you can even forward this letter, to your white Lords. And Should they deem that they want to talk to us about it, I am more than willing and ready to stand up for my people, The Kalenjin Nation!
For the Kalenjin Nation!

Kalenjin people never fought for independence. They were known as boot lickers of the whites whom they worshipped and worked for as policmen, horses trainers,police reservists,cookes, houseboys,mercenaries soldier in the KAR used by white settlers in fighting the brave mau mau freedom fighters and even at time your then semi-iliterate and ill-equipped political leaders made a frantic efforts in an attempt to have Uhuru delayed under Majimbo system.And that is how the most fertile and arable land i the Kalenjin region has remained in the hands of whites settlers close to 50 years long after the country attained its political independence up to date. Who is the worshipper of the whites? You write as if you are totally ignorant of the countrys poitical history history.Please take your tim and go back to the classroom and learn more about the subject your trying to venture into
I am suggesting hrewith that you should devote your time in an all out effort to fight and regain your farms from the whites instead of wasting your energy fighting against the peace loving and law abiding Luos. The Luos did no harm to anybody nor did they sshed the blood of innocenent Kenyans. The humble Luo community has laid no claims not even on an iota of Kalenjin land therefore you should direct your pimitive vitriols elsewhere..

You had a golden chnce to guide and lead this country toi heights of prosperty for 24 years, but due toKalenjin’s shameless thieving attitudesyou vandalized the economy and left it in dust. Are you aware of this ? Bwana Klenjinn Nation Spokesman.
The few brave Kalenjin agittors were betryed by their own people nd banished and nexile in Luo land for close to 40 years. They wre betrayed by your own people allegedly for practising witchfract.
I amn puzzled that you even don’t know who betrayed Koitalel Samoei. It was his fellow nandis, not luos pleased do not exposed you mediocrity of history. You seemed to have been touched by the naked truth about your flagrant an delibarate attempt to chet the jdges, meaning you care very little about clkse to 1500 Knyans who perished in the mayhem maste minded by your so called kalenjinheroes
Whatever you believe to benefit from the ICC drama is just an illusion man!You may like your neighbors to suffer much yet you do not benefit…..Raila shall be a looser if such a case goes to trial by the way.Am now fully aware of the reason why there is no love lost between Ruto and ODM comrades from Nyanza.
I believe Leo Odera Omolo you understand that this Kales are able to come out of economic dilemmas than your people who are by correct indexes amongst the poorest citizens of the nation.
Edwin Mwangi,
We are glad to hear from something about the poverty indexes inside Luo-Nyanza, but I am asking for is how relevant are your commens to the subject matter in dispute above? We have read no stories about Luo villages being under attacks by jiggers. Jiggers thrives among the excessively poverty stricken down trodden people.
It may a few Kikuyus are wealthy as a result of ill-gotten wealth.Howver, the majority lives in abaject poverty, some even homeless nd have become stree urchins and begging alms from the public, whereas you hard found those charcter among the Luos. Who is wealthy.
We have not heard cases whereby a dozen of Luo people dying enmess after consuming filthy alcohols meant for the extremely poor people. If the poverty indexes is in favor of the Kikuyu, then how these calamaties come about?
Luo are known not to scrambl for the land whch does not belong to them.All the heymen and violence in th Rift Valley has come about as the result of kikuyus scrambling for the Kalenjin land. These were the genetic of the 1972-73,1976-73,2003 and 2007-2008.
If the Luos are poor todaythat could be attributed to the machination and marginalization of the community by the murderers regime led by Kikuyu land grabbers.
I am sure Mwngi is not your genuine name, but if I could be sure of this I woul have given you more dossier than you shallow and irrespobsble comments, which is quite iurrelevant to the subbjct o debate, but kindly please do operate within your limitation and knowledge, but not like someone armed with very limited and half- backedelementary education. Thanks you Mr Mwngi do make an effort to eliminate “Jiggers” in Kikuyuland so as to dispelay your excesive welth.

t post-independence regime that was led by kikuyu land grabbers
i doubt your purported authority in the kalenjin language. at best, you are just a novice. good luck i wish you the best as you try to reach the icc for “better translations”
i have enjoyed reading the jaluo trash in this blog and want ask you all to mind your spelling and grammar before posting your comments. even so, i am more than convinced that the jaluo man here is just some wish thinker. nobody has asked for any assistance in translation from you. hold you pride. anyway lous are known for that and you are forgiven for it.
Your English is broken man, your attitude stinks. Your arrogance is too loud, and I am sure that someone reading your post can easily write you off as an hired goon! ‘Mur- gelda’ and ‘nun- gelda’ do not mean one and the same thing. Some of our fellow country men from central Kenya, just like the some of the Kalenjins living on the southern parts of the Rift valley have a similar problem of brown teeth- NOT rotten teeth! Are you aware that we call the Kisiis by the name ‘Kamama’ and the are very proud about it? How else can it be as deragatory as you claim? Grow up baby, if it is the Euro that is firing you up, pls stop shooting aimlessly! We need to coexist as Kenyans.
Kwenda huko na uwongo……you are a kalenjin with a grudge against Ruto and Sang. Dont pose like a luo….
