Folks,

The Coalition Government Leadership of Kibaki and Raila should stop fooling Kenyans.

We want to know and demand to know where all these funding money went……Why Anglo Leasing, Triton Scandal and Goldenburg has not been excecuted, why the shilling is falling and why foods and other basic needs are beyond general public income, why there is hunger and draught with Environmental degradation is taking toll in Kenya, when funds from African Development Bank, World Bank, IMF, Lake Victoria Fishing, Addis Ababa Road corridor to Lamu ets., has been disbursed and fully funded…….We demand to know who are the benefitiaries, shareholders and stakeholders of the incoming funds from the Donor Agencies……….We demand for public statement Report and Records for the budget allocation and Constituency with update spending from the Finance and Health Ministry for Constituency distribution of HIV/Aids……We demand for foreign funds misappropriated by Wetangula with complete report in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the same with the Agriculture and Education Ministry including Ministry of Water with Environmental, Tourism and Social Affairs.

We demand for full report in Vice President’s Office including Prime Ministers’ expenditure reports.

Taxpayer money is and has been mismanaged, misappropriated, squandered irresponsibly without control, checks and balances and with no transparency or accountability.

There is a schemed scandal of network cartels for open-ended piped flow of money to impoverish and push public above limit into extreme poverty line where no one can survive. It started from Ethiopia, through Somalia into Kenya and spreading out to Congo, Tanzania, South Sudan into Uganda.

This cannot be taken lightly as it could be another form of population control through hunger deathbed and through organized assassination from private organized gang squad……..It must be known by all that, it is an illegal and unconstitutional serious crime against Human Rights to deny descent, respectful, honorable and dignified livelihood…….where innocent and unsuspecting people are being pushed to dead end to an acceptable situation of poverty death bracket. …..Good People of the world must urgently get engaged to stop this inhumanity from destroying lives.

Each and everyone must stand together with the world against this barbaric and brutal inhumanity violation and crime of destroying lives, displacements, disorganization of human dignified survival and together voice common united displeasure against the few corrupt unscrupulous and powerful who are trying to destroy public unity and peaceful livelihood. We must all agree that this is unacceptable and must urgently and immediately stop. That the International law must take a centre stage to safeguard and protect life irrespective of race, color or creed……..It is sad, Africans are treated like animals and are being slaughtered like animal’s meat for consumption……..This cannot be accepted….

The question remains:

1) Where is all these donor funding from IFAD, African Development Bank, from the World Bank, from the IMF, from COMESA, from ECOSOC, from WFO, from WTO, from UN for Environment protection, for Agriculture, for Oil and Gas Exploration, from Road Construction in the corridor of Ethiopia through Somalia into Lamu, from Education Fund, from Youth Agenda for Development, for Lake Victoria Fishing, from Diamond and Gold collectibles……..How is it being utilized……Who controls and benefit from this money and why….???

2) Where is the money from Revenue Collection and how is it being distributed to Social Management and Development Agenda to the Constituencies…….who controls and benefits from this money and why….???

3) Where and why is the disbursement and utilization report of all Loans and Funded money allocations and budgeting not made public……???

4) Why is the shilling depreciating in such speed especially and specifically when ICC Hague was in session…….Who is funding the ICC Hague case budget and Why……??? How much is the allocated funding forecast…..???…….Who authorized its payments under public taxpayer

5) What about the Millennium Development Agenda funding, where was it distributed and into whose account……..what are the returns into public account since funds were disbursed……..How about the International Public Partnership development agenda funds, how much is the appropriation percentage shared between the Public account against the external investment apportionment. Where are the reports in public accounts……and why are they not made public…….Who benefited and who did not…….???

6) How can Uhuru be trusted with the Public Office in the control of Finance Accounts Ministry when he remain particularly an interested special suspect of ICC Hague.

Are we not playing with life’s survival livelihood in a chase card in a serious conspiracy between the Coalition Government leadership with International special business unscrupulous interest cartel network…..???

7) Why is Migingo fishermen denied survival, and why the Government does not sent Official troops to protect Migingo Island……..How can Uganda continue to interfere with Kenya’s territory who are now intimidating and terrorizing Kenyan Fishermen in Migingo.
Uganda must be made to compensate and pay for all the loses by Kenya’s fishermen with livelihood survival interference in and arround Migingo and Lake Victoria.

8) Where did the shuttle for diplomacy by VP Kalonzo & Team come from, is it public money, if so, can they own responsibility and account for that money spent and good people take the Coalition Government to task to recover the same……???

9) Why was Wetangula brought back into public office before allegation of crimes were completed. We need answers……….is he responsible for Diaspora conspiracy of defraudment of public money mismanagement and fraudlement……???

How can we justify survival with so much aloofness and insecurity, violation and crime against Humanity by those expected to provide leadership in Government management without being Transparent or Accountable for public security, funding and without being in checks and balances according to public delivery mandate (of providing needs and demands as required) Is this Coalition Government of Kibaki and Raila compliant according to Referendum’s Constitutional Mandate at which they took oath of allegiance to respect, protect and preserve….???

Kenya Government cannot justify the high cost of oil and gas while the world oil prices are steadily going down………this, Kenyans must stand up for the truth…….

Sad to say the least…….God Bless us all………!!!

Kenya: Brand Kenya Initiative Is a Waste of Taxpayers’ Money
Joseph Odanga

12 October 2011
opinion

Mombasa — Brand Kenya’s ongoing Nitakuwepo (I will be there) campaign is a waste of taxpayers’ money at a time most Kenyans can’t afford even a single meal.

We need programmes that benefit the common mwananchi.

Right now there is a shortage of sugar in the country yet all the factories are operational.

Some business people are hoarding the product for speculative purposes yet the authorities are not acting.

Do we really need to use taxpayers’ cash for the campaign?

Fuel prices go up for tenth month in a row

Saturday, 15 October 2011 00:03 BY JAMES MBUGUA

THE Energy Regulatory Commission yesterday defied a drop in the world prices of fuel and raised consumer pump prices for the 10th month consecutively. Despite the fact that landed prices for Super and Diesel during the month of September fell by over three per cent each, the ERC raised the price of Super by Sh2.75 and that of Diesel by Sh2.77 per litre respectively.

Nairobi motorists will now pay Sh120.50 for a litre of Super petrol, with similar prices for Regular and Diesel now pegged at Sh116.72 and Sh110.94 respectively. The commission cited global crude fuel prices and currency volatility for the hike.

As with many consumer products in the country this year, this is a new all-time high for fuel prices in the country. “The average landed cost for Super petrol decreased by 3.08 per cent in September 2011. Over the same period, the average landed cost of imported Diesel decreased by 3.67 per cent,” ERC director-general Engineer Kaburu Mwirichia said in a statement. “Taking into account the cost of imported products and products refined locally, the price of Kerosene increases by Sh1.66 per litre, that of Super Petrol increases by 2.75 per litre while that of Diesel increases by Sh2.75 per litre.”

Kerosene will trade at Sh89.95 in Nairobi following a decision by the ERC to reduce the margin wholesalers are allowed to benefit with from Sh6.00 to Sh4.00 per litre. This has been done in order to cushion low-income households that dependent on kerosene for lighting and cooking.

Prices of fuel in other towns were adjusted accordingly with Mandera consumers paying the highest prices— Sh133.02 per litre of Super, Sh123.46 for Diesel at Sh123.46 and Sh102.47 for Kerosene.

In Mombasa, Super will trade at Sh117.22 to the litre with the price of Diesel pegged at Sh106.79 and Kerosene at Sh87.14.

Consumers in Nakuru will see litre prices of Super, Diesel and Kerosene at Sh121.05, Sh111.73 and Sh90.69 respectively.

Kisumu motorists will now have to pay Sh122.22, Sh112.90 and Sh91.71 respectively for Super, Diesel and Kerosene.

The ERC has been setting maximum monthly pump prices for oil marketers since December 2010. Only once, during the first monthly review, did consumers see a drop in pump prices. International fuel prices have remained high as unrest in the oil producing Maghreb persisting throughout the year and have contributed to inflation in the country which stood at 17.32 per cent in the month of September. Dollar demand to import fuel has also contributed to a weakening of the Kenya shilling during that time. The Shilling has however dipped below Sh100 to the dollar following intervention by Treasury yesterday.

Kenya: Petrol and Electricity Prices Go Up Despite Fall in Global Oil Cost
Paul Wafula

14 October 2011

The weakening of the Kenyan shilling has denied Kenyans a chance to enjoy the benefits of falling international oil prices with pump prices and electricity expected to go up.

On Friday, Kenya Power and the Energy Regulatory Commission announced increases in cost of electricity and fuel respectively despite falling crude prices citing the weak shilling and erratic trends of crude prices on the international market.

The commission raised the price of super petrol in Nairobi by Sh2.75 a litre to Sh120.50. Diesel went up by Sh2.77 and will be retailing at Sh116.73 a litre in Nairobi for the next one month.

It is only Kerosene that fell by Sh1.66 to Sh89.95 a litre.

“The local currency has depreciated relative to the US dollar and this has impacted negatively on the local pump prices,” said the commission’s director-general Kaburu Mwirichia in a statement.

In the period under review, the average landed cost of imported super petrol decreased by 3.08 per cent from $1,105.09 a tonne in August 2011 to $1,071.07 a tonne in September.

This translated to a 3.67 per cent reduction in the average cost of imported diesel. However, the depreciation of the shilling which has lost up to 12 per cent in the last one month to touch a historic low of Sh107 against the dollar has diluted these gains.

But it is consumers further away from Mombasa who will pay a great deal more as oil marketer’s factor in the cost of transportation.

For example, consumers in Migori will pay Sh6.73 more for a litre of Super petrol than their counterparts in Mombasa.

In Migori a litre of super petrol will go for Sh123.95 a liter, compared to the Sh11.7 in Mombasa.

The increase comes despite calls by the Consumers Federation of Kenya that the government should absorb some of the costs to ease the pain on consumers who are grappling with high costs of living.

At the same time, Kenya Power announced it will raise the foreign exchange and fuel adjustment surcharges on this month’s electricity bills.

In a notice in the Kenya Gazette, Kenya power said consumers will pay fuel cost charge of Sh8.40.
