Doc,
Even Somali Warloads have always arrested Kenyans inside Kenya.

Kenyans,
What is really happening in our country?. The other months Museveni invaded Migingo island and a lot of tax-payers money is now being spent to let us know whether migingo is in Kenya or not. Pokot boarder area have been invaded by Uganda army and a lot of boader post building destroyed, nothing happened. Now We are being told that over 10 km
inside Kenya from the Kenyan boarder with Sudan, a kenyan minister for immigration can not walk through a Kenyan land. The other month a minister for internal security Mr. Saitoti was also turned back in our Kenyan soil. Do these Mps, Ministers, President really know where our Kenyan soil or waters ends and even starts. Or to them Kenya is just in
Nairobi?. What is the point of having army, police force, GSU who continue to get salary but do not know even where Kenyan boarder is?.
Politicians are a let down, instutional for governance are just a joke to the society. Instead of bringing a new constitution for Kenyans they are buying Ugali with tax-payers money. Now they are seeing for themselves that they are not even in control of our country`s boaders, what an Idiotic type of government?.
They are again deviating people`s attention from onstitutional reforms by bringing a list of so called shame: How Mau land has been grabbed and to whom. Cann`t these people have the head that Kenyan land was grabbed during the colonial times, long time ago: How many Europeans own illegal
land in Kenya today?. Some have a large land that they do not even cultivate, neither do they use at a time when kenyans have to destroy Mau forest for survival. How many land was grabbed during Kenyatta`s time?. Why do we have squatters in the coast, central province, why is there a swelling in Kibera, Mathare etc. constantly?. It would be nice
and more intelligent if they draff a list of shame including all tribes, NOT only kalenjins and not only in Mois`s time.

Please read below how they are being denied passage even in Kenyan soil.

In Summary
Sudanese soldiers on Kenyan soil force minister to call off his
mission
The man responsible for regulating Kenya’s border posts was on Thursday barred from accessing an exit point.
Mr Otieno Kajwang’, the Immigration minister, was blocked by Sudanese soldiers manning a roadblock on the Kenyan side of the border.
He was heading to open an immigration office at Nadapal border post when he was turned back at the roadblock mounted by the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) just a kilometre from the country’s border with Southern Sudan.
Speaking to the Nation, a furious Kajwang’ narrated how the soldiers denied them access to the border post, saying they were under instructions from their “superiors” not to let them proceed.
“We have been forced to call off our mission,” Mr Kajwang’ said by telephone.
The minister was accompanied by Immigration ministry officials, members of the provincial administration and officers from the Army, General Service Unit (GSU) and regular police.
A recent Cabinet decision requires that all immigration offices be located at the border. The immigration office is currently located at Lokichoggio township, about 10 kilometres from the border post.
He said that prior to his visit, the local provincial administration
had informed the Southern Sudan liaison office based at Lokichoggio of his intended tour.
Mr Kajwang’ also complained about the harassment and intimidation the Kenyan immigration officials were recently subjected to by the Sudanese forces as they went to the border post to assess the ground before relocating the office.
He said that they had been forced to surrender their guns to the SPLA soldiers manning the roadblock before they could be allowed to proceed to the border post.
Mr Kajwang’ also said that three months ago, Internal Security
minister Prof George Saitoti was also blocked from visiting the border post to assess the security situation. A military commander has also been turned back.
Mr. Nyandoto great many thanks for pointing out the short comings of Kenya politicians and their government. Your points are well taken and there is no need to repeat them here…thank you again for sharing!.When you vote for stupid politicians just because they are one of “your own” you are due to get stupid government!. Kenya people deserve the government they have and they should NOT expect different out come/result from this crop of politicians and the current regime.
It was NOT long ago when majority of these politicians took position that those charged with election crimes should be tried at Hague!. Now the same these same politicians have changed their tune over night … not even to have domestic tribunal at the minimal to try election offenders in this country. Now the consensus by these politicians and the government is to have Truth..Justice….commission. Any Kenya with half brain should ask themselves..how did these politicians switch over night to support this TJ..commission?..what deals were struck between the government and politicians, what deal were struck between political and what deals were made between politicians themselves to ditch Hague and Domestic Tribunal route??
It is joke even for these politicians to utter the word (Truth and justice). It is hard to find Kenya politicians who knows what the word “TRUTH IS OR MEANS”. If you care to read/study Kenya political history you will find out that Kenya politicians who were truthful and principaled when serving this country are all dead. The current breed of politician in this country did not get where they are today because of their truthfulness. integrity or principals. The key to grow political fortune in this country is rooted in tribal loyalty and regional politics, economic and political corruption.
Not to pick on one politicians to illustrate this point. Take for example how politicians often cater to their own groups, count how many positions Mr. Ruto has taken on: Hague trial and Mau forest eviction!!. The bottom line is that Kenya politicians don’t stand for anything but only for their own narrow economic, political and tribal interest . They stoke and use tribal loyality to develop political career and for these reasons they don’t owe the country at large anything.
It was not long time ago when some of us pointed out that Migingo Island dispute with Musevini was more than ” A ROCK” when general Kianga chief of staff said that Migingo Island is not worth fighting for..it was map makers problem”. Some of us were quick to point out that Kenya international borders of Kenya and land WAS WORTH FIGHTING AND DYING FOR. Some politicians in this government show Migingo as Luo problem with Uganda!. Now the “chickens” are coming home to roost!. The question that should be asked to Mr. Kajwanng and Mr. Saitote..Is Sudan using Musevini play book on how to infringe in Kenya territory without paying price for nacked aggression?.It seems to me that so long as Nairobi is not invaded by any neighboring states, any country is welcomed to lay claim in any part of Kenya territory as they wish!
Mr. Nyadonto also pointed out the need for “Constitutional Reforms” in this country. In some parts of the world or in emerging Democracies those passing laws for the public should at least have some legal background in law. I wonder how many Kenya politicians have law background that can help them understand the laws they are about to pass in long awaited “Constitutional Reform”?.
To aswer Mr. Odhiambo’s main question…”whether Kenya is ruled by Idiots”…? Here is my take, Kenya society is “ethically challenged” corruption permiate the peoples of this country from birth to death!. If Kenya public was concern with having ethical government, these politicians would never..ever find their way to Nairob!. I would therefore plead with Mr. Odhiambo to change his question to. ARE KENYA VOTERS: STUPID, IGNORANT, MORON DAMN …FOR ELECTING THESE LEADERS AND POLITICIANS?????.
About the kenyan violent and prosecution(s), the EU did not let kenyans down and they should not let kenyans down now when it comes time to enforce prosecution, of the offenders, the kenyans in power thought it was just going to be a regular time wasting presidential inquiries and the report to be shelves to collect dust. This is an international crimes and they should be taken lightly as kenyans elite do, they are trying to politisize it.People were murderd sensleslly and displaced no one should get away with it.
I thank EU for for presure they mount on Government do not let do untill they are prosecuted.
