Re: Land Grabbing for Vision 2030 is the reason for 2007/8 election gone bad in Kenya and is the same reason for ongoing aggravated Corruption, Impunity and Genocide is linked to East Africa Community, why Abuse and Violation Against Humanity is Commonplace destroying livelihood in Africa…….reason for Economic Crime against Middle-class and Poor of African Continent
On behalf of the voiceless, I forward this email to the following addressed for urgent authority attention and intervention and so it can be given Legal Hearing at both Kenya Courts and at the Hague against the Coalition Leadership in Kenya. We would like to have early investigation to the matter as it is the reason why Devolution of Counties have been delayed or is in go-slow…….We are crying for justice……..
Land Grabbing violates Human Rights and is a crime against humanity. It is an Extra Judicial Offense where victims were pushed to Desperate situations requiring Desperate measures for Urgency of Local Legal dispensation and ICC Hague intervention. These were factors that led to 2007/8 election gone bad in Kenya. The fact that the problems must be addressed and fixed as early as possible without any further delay. We noticed that only one Tribe amongst Kenyans (The few Kikuyu’s), Chris Kirubi with Raila own and control public wealth they acquired illegally and unconstitutionally.
Initiators and Operatives of Kenya’s Vision 2030 have committed Serious Offense to Kenyan Victims of circumstances including parts of East African Community, Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan with other regions of South Africa…….
Vision 2030 was based in three pillars, namely Economic development, Social Development and Political Development. It was based on Land Grabbing and abused Rights of Indigenous People to self-determination from being deprived of one’s means of subsistence to Livelihood and survival. The Rural Community Traditions and Cultures were interfered with, their Agricultural land and fishing taken away through forceful means and by grabbing such like Migingo and fencing the lake and the sea from public use. People are now faced with no access to food and other basic needs. This is cutting the Local Community from its natural survival and plans for their children’s future.
It has been proved that, instead of Socio/Economic and Political development progress of middle-class and the poor, the progress was felt in reverse. The Middle-Class and the Poor were squeezed through intimidation, manipulation and threats and were forcefully evicted and stolen off their meaningful and responsible survival and livelihood. It was the International Corporate Special Interest network of the unscrupulous Corrupt politically correct, who benefited from the illegal and unconstitutional process of acquisition and access to Public Wealth of taxpayer money, financial and natural resources through Land Grabbing with forceful eviction. The corrupt Coalition Government in their Political class refuse to comply to public mandate and interest even after funds were released for Draught, Hunger, to eliminate poverty and provide a Development according to National Reform Agenda…..Targeting Water Tower for vision 2030 without fully involving and engaging the Community is unconstitutional and illegal.
The Coalition Government Leadership with former President Moi along with their network connection are Guilty of Social, Economic and Political Abuse, Violation and Crime Against Humanity until proven otherwise.
They jointly in their Corporate Network of International Special Interest, colluded under conspiracy to commit Extra Judicial Offenses in Economic Crime Against Humanity, Social Abuse and Violation of Rights in, Human Trafficking where they denied people descent and responsible livelihood but exposed people to insecurity, assassinations, pain and long suffering and finally, they committed grave Political Crime Against Humanity through Abuse of Public Office.
Vision 2030 failed to bear fruit because, public and the community were not engaged or involved Democratically in the Program process. It is also because Public Mandate was not respected or valued from the start of the program. There were therefore no balance in the development activities of 2030 as there were no trickle bottom-up Representing Broader Diversity of Opinion to motivate and reduce threats for collapse……and this is because, Vision 2030 was not based on the Reform Agenda, but overlooked and by-passed the New Constitution on behalf of Corrupt and Unscrupulous International Corporate Special Interest.
Kenya is still hurting and hurting very badly. People are still very angry with Kenya’s leadership as the leadership decided to go against Public Interest, they are non-compliant to their oath taking, and they do things against Public Mandate. Cost of food and fuel is going up daily, domestic electricity is unaffordable, and survival is next to impossible. The environment is still fluid because only a handful political leadership own and control public wealth illegally and unconstitutionally. Taxpayer money is carelessly mismanaged while people are dying in rain flood as banks have overflowed the river banks. People and animals are dying yet the Government have not urgently responded, they are busy partying and doing mark-time…….We are now convinced that this is let loosely so that people will die quickly for the cartels to invade the areas…….It is very very sad indeed………
Doctors and Unionized workers are demonstrating for lack of Coalition Government goodwill. This cannot be tolerated for any further extension. It is peoples lives that are in jeopardy and lives are at stake. Unless these Politicians face justice, nothing will be resolved.
Grand corruption, Impunity and Genocide in Kenya from such like Extra Judicial Police Killings, Goldenberg, Anglo-leasing, Grand Regency, Land Grabbing, Migingo, Kazi kwa Vijana, Free Education Fund, maize scandal, Triton, Water Dam Scandal, Cemetery, Forceful Evictions, land Grabbing, careless Police assassinations, Luo’s forceful circumcision as opposed to responsible and acceptable HIV/Aids program with others not listed here must be heard before legal justice and victims fully compensated.
Things are not going well and we seek Legal intervention urgently before things fall apart.

The government has appointed a nine-man team to oversee the management of the country‘s five water towers in a move expected to unlock donor funding and give fresh impetus to the rehabilitation effort launched two years ago.

“These appointments are in accordance with the government’s financial management regulations on water towers conservation funds and take effect from December 1,”Mr Odinga said in last week’s gazette notice.

UNEP estimates the loss in sectors such as agriculture, water and tourism have suffered due to destructions of the Mau complex alone at sh24billion.

President Mubarak emphasised that his country would help Kenya and other countries at the source of the Nile to increase the water levels in Lake Victoria.
Mr Odinga said that Kenya understand what the Nile means to Egypt and the responsibility the country has in conserving the waters.
“Therefore, Kenya has invested heavily in environmental conservation, for example in the Mau,” added the PM.
Saying that Kenya would not be party to plans to compromise the security of other countries that use the Nile, Mr Odinga called for cooperation among all states that share the waters of the river.
He pointed out that 40% of the water in Lake Victoria is from sources in Kenya.
