Folks,

Once Upon a Time, a Merchant set out to a long journey, but on his way, he met with a puzzle he was not able to unravel. He wondered and became very sad why he had a good set of plan for life according to the Will of God for Creation, but he remained unhappy and opacity blocked his vision. He was not able to understand or comprehend the reasons why things happen the way they did. He later became aware that gluttoness was the reason for his blindness, that blindness was glazed with Demonic desire which found its way through lack of Wisdom, and without paying attention to little things that matter in life, things which make life worth living. He consequently became careless in his get-rich lifestyle and thereby developed big appetite and got himself sucked in self-centeredness. The reason why, the more he worked harder and acquired much, he continued to be isolated, sad and unhappy.

· Why 2 + 2 = 0 (Wrong Number)

· Why D = Drive the Car & R = Reverse the Gear did not work systematically for him but ditched the car in the mad

· Why the Rich get Richer and the Poor get Poorer

· Why the Unemployment rate is higher than the employed

· Why there is the Imbalance in the World Order

· Why the Status Quo want to Remain The Way they Are, and you wonder, what motivates them and what keeps them strong

· Why Corruption and Impunity is bigger than Democracy the reason they clash and conflict

· Why Blood Money (Conflict & Civil War) is greater than Peace and is part of Africa’s problem

· Why Progress and Growth per Capita is Smaller than Expectation, power in the hands of a few those who are corrupt

· Why good moral and God’s Spirit is Lower than God’s Command for happy living with safe wealth

· Why Odd numbers does not agree with Even Numbers

· Why Demand Vs. Supply Do not Balance across the Global Region

· Why United Nations Office was begun to provide Global solution, but fail to achieve that which it was intended for. But if done well, it will justify a Global House in perspectives, checks and balances. The United Nations met with problems that which slowed its effectiveness in the mid-way, but solutions could have been met if guideline patterns of policy ratification were adhered and observed, that which incorporates the Voice of Reason and demands of the African Republic Citizenry.

· Why there was need to involve Civil Society at every stage of arrangements involving undertakings of Development without giving room to or influencing undercutting deals from the quarters of African Leadership special interest.

As a matter of concern, we have come to conclude that Unemployment and poverty in Kenya and Africa was a creation made at the Top of African Leadership in the quest to gain political command so to build Castles for themselves and accumulate power in order to; isolate, frustrate, assassinate, segregate and manipulate those who acquired knowledge for improving life and want to share the same to develop their people or Constituents. These corrupt African Leaders, had organized a plan to sell Africa with the help and advice of their Mission Agents, who provided clue information and advice how to fortify network and activities and make them look legal yet they are illegal.

These were therefore Plans that scuttled Africa’s hopes that added injury to the pain and sufferings of many poor Africans including the educated scholars who were equipped with skills and talents for improving development agenda for Africa, who came with rich and balanced ideas, to fix problems for Africa’s underdevelopment situation and were meant to improve lifestyle and create opportunities able to meet with challenges and competition of the Global Markets and provide openings for growth and prosperity for many. But because of African Leadership Mafia Association, the Dream of Africa was scuttled, to a point many lost their lives and some were pushed out of their traditional homes to pave ways to the powerful, those Corrupt Leaders craved for much bigger appetite that of conspiring to grab and loot people’s land and Government properties and facilities for themselves.

The Plan for Development Agenda as documented for United Nations and Multinational, looked promising on the outskirt face of those who attended and deliberated at the United Nations Conferences, that released funding on behalf of poor people of Africa, were done without engaging the African Public or the Legislatures, because there were lack of information shared. The “Quite Corruption” therefore had intentions to silence and divert the money to other personal and private use. This funding never reached its destination and were not put to use as they were meant for development programs to alleviate poverty. Consultations and information became unknown to the people and the Republic of Africa including the People’s Legislative Representatives and as well, there were no Parliamentary debate for such.

In retrospect, We take exception in reference to case scenario in Kenya and Africa being sold to the Chinese. These are worrisome maneuvers that must be checked very keenly. Chinese have flocked and penetrated into the village local area. They have taken small businesses in the local markets of the rural villages and are competing to outdo the locals communities there. I have received complaints that the Representative Legislatures are doing nothing about these cases because they have been bribed. Very soon, the Chinese will overtake Kenyans in their Rural homes, and this is another Agenda Moi is pursuing to sell out the marginalized so to overtake their community land and make the indigenous homeless. We saw on July 12th 2010 Mr. Kimunya with Chinese delegation met at his office to sign Memorandum of Understanding for Agriculture with the Chinese to take full control of Agricultural business all over the Country. This is another rip-off to deny Kenyans development which is going through Sameer Company which belongs to Moi’s group of companies. The Mafia connection have transformed Sameer to EPZ, Export Processing Zone, which was initially a public set-up for AGOA was initiated by the late Kassim Owango and that applies to COMESA. Activities to these NGOs developed to serious “Quite Corruption” disagreements leading to his death. This is because former President Moi never wanted Water Hyacinth to be removed from Lake Victoria because, according to Moi, Luos survive by eating fish from the Lake and that kept them alive even when they have been pushed to extreme poverty hardship corner. The hyacinth removal project was faced with a lot of problems as differences between workers and officials of the contracted firm continue to build sharp bitter in-house rivalries between the Project Manager Mr. Neil Robertson with the Late Kassim Owango who after a short while later died mysteriously. This case has also remained unresolved with their businesses remaining intact like nothing have been done. In this case scenario, we continually see transfers and a re-cycle of the same corrupt personalities being moved from one station within the Government position of power and control, to another. Their Overseas Mission Agents also being elevated to higher rankings within the United Nation to manage their businesses at the corridors of African Union Stations.

Who are the owners of Nairobi Stock Exchange? What about the Equity Bank? Who has taken over the Optic-Fibre Cable? who is benefiting 100% Are these not public facilities? Are they not floated at the United Nations and the World Bank as Public utilities for funding? How much have they benefited the General Public? Don’t we have a reason to question?

Unemployment is the Root Cause of Insecurity and Social Instability

The above behavior contributed heavily to insecurity and Social Instability. Unemployment amongst the Youth grew and it became a potential trigger for social instability with demographic challenges as the population of people of ages between 18 – 30 became jobless after dropping from school or after graduating with not job plan accommodation by the Government. Access to jobs required that you must be politically correct or must know Who is Who in the position of power. The global financial crisis threaten to strain further labor markets, corruption with impunity exacerbated the situation for Africa’s Youth and Women.

High rates of Youth and Women under-employment created social ramifications, with many seeing no hope for advancement and thereby finding alternatives to criminal activities making them vulnerable and/or joining unsuitable gangs. Most Women too developed loose morals and abandoning their marriages in search for better life from stable families, causing breakages and instability in the homes and families.

This kind of lifestyle created irreparable damage and scars in the future of a healthy life of a growing youth. It is therefore considered that these African Leaders committed Crime and Abuse of Human Rights.

When United Nations Conference discuss and resolve creating of viable jobs for Young People and Women, a recommendation that provide funding to eradicate Poverty, in order to create Peace and that Heads of African States plan and provide means to engage Youth to access to employment, what these Mafia Network do, they access the funding and relocate them to their personal projects and businesses, abandoning the whole idea of providing direct support to empower and strengthen the Youth, Women and the Civil Society. So Top Leaders with their network Mafia can manipulate, pull rags under their feet, twist and turn the public as they wish. This is because, the public will only survive under the mercy of the corrupt Leadership.

Why the economists fail to provide standard of comparison between the “underemployment” and “fully employed” in Africa have no basis or meaning, because the Politically correct, with businesses of the Mafia Political Leadership network are not sustainable to the African Republic in the long run, thus impacting the instability of economy of Africa.

World Bank report on Youth Potential

While recognizing Africa’s demographic challenges, the World Bank report also sees the large youth population as an opportunity to make Youth transitional asset to claim a window of opportunity for progress for Africa, this cannot be realized fully when fund disbursed for that purpose, find its way to the Politically correct and does not build the true potential for the African Youth and because funds does not fizzle directly to the Youth. African Politicians want to make selfish deals for Agricultural production in Africa so they can earn more than 200% interest and share with the International partners. So while this program looks potential and promise, it is still not sustainable because the power is in the political base shared by special interest of International corrupt traders. Therefore, the multi-sectoral approach by African Union Government Leaders with the International Agencies, makes worse livelihood survival of the people of Africa. This is where, funds and money are traded on “Air” deliverables which results in no Profit to the African Taxpayers, providing the equation for 2 + 2 = 0 (wrong number).

The most recognized fundamental aspects of Africa Region making a window for opportunity is by providing direct Education and Empowerment to the Youth, Civil Society and Women to immediately address issues of unemployment, project initiations at the Rural Areas, build support for entrepreneurship for improving the expansion of quality training in the rural area expand organized Investment in irrigation, water resource management utilizing better agricultural natural and organic agriculture practices and fulfill the promises of Africa meeting challenges and competition of the Global Market. The basic challenge is to demand to employ the appropriate policies for Kenya and Africa so people can better enjoy this unique opportunity.

World Bank with “Quite Corruption” Report

African Union Leadership are presently engaged in committing “Quite Corruption” to expand and make legal their stealing maneuvers of activities against the public of Africa. There is nothing like “Quite Corruption”. It is a killer and must be stop with Legislative legal consequences. Quite Corruption in its own merit word confirms “lethal” prospects that undermined Africa’s Development which significantly explains why Africa is unable to meet its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The report says: ‘The widespread prevalence of big-time and quiet corruption in Africa significantly undermines the impact of investments to meet the Millennium Development Goals. In the essence, Iceberg of corruption is sinking considerable efforts to improve the wel-being of Africa’s citizens, particularly the poor who rely predominantly on publicly provided services. This explains why increased funding allocations received by the African Government leadership, have not translated into improving human status and position in Africa or showed development indicators of progress. This is because these funds were diverted into private and personal businesses ….. this too is a crime punishable by the Geneva Law that were ratified by African Governments. It is now a law in Kenya that demands Legal Justice be met on Kenyan corrupt leadership.

World Bank Report Critical Analysis

Analysis on Africa Development Indicators of 2010 reported on “Quiet Corruption” which has been viewed as distinctive politics. Distinctive because it seeks probability of conscious and purposefully exonerate the World Bank from its own role in perpetuating Africa’s mal-development.

Ø One, it invents or borrows a New Concept that of “Quite Corruption” defined essentially the failure on the part of Public Servants to fail to deliver services or inputs funding that were paid for specific program but were diverted elsewhere…….through corrupt practices…..e.g. paying “AIR” for equipments or facilities not bought and services not done, proving window to push public money elsewhere to the unknown…..this kind of money disappear before it reaches its intended mission…..that is theft and it always finds its Agent Representative at the United Nation to speak on their behalf to make good statements of cover-up……Who is that person?….

Ø Secondly, the report argues that “Quiet Corruption” is not only pervasive and widespread in Africa, but it hurts the poor disproportionately with long-term consequences….e.g. cheap and poor methods used in the protection and preventing malaria and other diseases which does not justify sum amount released for the same and most part of the funding and medicines are diverted elsewhere, farmers do not receive fertilizers which results in low-productivity.

Ø The players prefer “Quiet Corruption” because it does not make headlines as much as the traceable bribery scandals do, so it can evade Transparency International and other global indexes of corruption. The report argues it is the cause of so much misery in Africa.

It is therefore important that when we make Critique it should not be taken by a pinch of salt. Give it a closer look.

Resolution:

Kenya’s Constitution has been Ratified by the Public at Referendum. Whether it is Promulgated or not by the President on August 20th, it remains an effective Legal Document The Constitution of Kenya, with immediate effect. Whether by plan or tact or maneuvers to prolong stay or by use of the African Union scheme, by appointments or commission or omission, Kenya is on a transitional journey of setting strategies for Independence. This means, True root causes of unemployment and poverty in Africa facilitated by corrupt leaders that promoted it must be broken and taken down to books through legal justice.

Public, Civil Society must take increased accountability and participation and by questioning and demanding their Right to Good Governance.

The International NGOs to Africa must be investigated and vetted to be cleared of undercutting activities with the corrupt African Leadership that resulted into extreme problems of the people of Africa. This is because, the NGOs that were supposed to represent and protect the people of Africa from being corrupted engaged in the exercise of ripping Africans more of their dignity.

This is a People-Driven Success story of Africa coming out of the bondage of suppression and of poverty to The Promised Land of Progress and Prosperity, taking control of and shaping the future of Africa destiny to the Global Market with dignity to meet challenges and competition of the Global World.

United Nations appointments are done with consultations and Lobbying of Top African Governments. They do this to protect their interests, but not those of the People of Africa. This is why, United Nations recently included the docket for Diaspora Voice.

It is believed that, over the years, Zachary Muburi Muita took orders from his masters leadership in Kenya and notably from former President Moi, and so it was reasons many who applied and were found qualified and competent, were not considered after Muita did not provide for their recommendations for appointments.

This door became difficult to manoeuvre through and has been proved a solid rock no one can penetrate through easily if you are not politically correct amongst the African Union of Leaders….. See attachments…….

Consequently, since Muita will keep his new position on behalf of African Union Leaders interests, it will only be prudent that, as a voice of reason, and as The Diaspora Spokesperson, I should be considered for a slot at the United Nations office to occupy Diaspora position so I can provided undivided fair service delivery to the people of Africa and make program funded through the Civil Society program feasible and sustainable. My qualifications are based on experience, since experience is the best teacher.

This is therefore my humble request to the United Nation Leaders, the World Leaders and through the people public of Africa, to endorse my occupancy at the United Nations for balanced services.

I promise to provide delivery services and make Development Agenda operational to the Civil Society of Africa, starting with East Africa and Congo and be able to manage cases court cases effective including the return of stolen public finances banked in Foreign Banking within a minimum of one year.

This will be a challenging and competitive platform to scale and prove who can better provide faster deliverables in comparison and who had all along failed the people of Africa through undercutting deals, and thereby recommending unfair practices that have hurt and failed the people of Africa. This will also confirm arguments that it is not right to keep recycling failed characters to retained those honorable position time and again without making good returns to Taxpayers.

Conclusively, Unemployment with Extreme Poverty is the root cause of crime development in Africa

If income inequality was balanced by the management of African Governments, social services and wealth redistribution would have been provided in the past 50 years. Arrest of cheaters, killers for example, those who were involved in corruption and impunity allowed to face fair legal justice, Kenya and Africa would be Heaven on Earth. Today, “criminal situations of the kinds of homicide with other set of crimes, have largely become common happenings participated by the legal police force, a problem which is beyond the control and repair, but must be put in order, so Kenyans and Africa can enjoy the traditional peace, love and unity for a common purpose and for development.

The consequences of this drop for how we think about social order are significantly noted as:

Unemployment causes of conflicts
Recycling corrupt leaders are the cause of Corruption, impunity, graft and conflicts
NGOs Consortium must be monitored and evaluated from time to time

On behalf of the people of Africa orient, I will endeavour and prove my capability for the sake of balanced Development Agenda for Progress and prosperity, dedicate my skills and time to address these shortcomings that have been a stambling block and have failed Kenya and Africa, so to give the people of African Decent value, virtue and honor on the face of Global Competitive edge coupled with economic challenges on a level playing field that of sustainability and excellence.

I take this opportunity also to thank you all for questioning my concern about the posting of Mr. Zachary Muburi Muita to the position of opportunity. I believe I have explained myself sufficiently.

We must not forget that we questioned the posting of Mr. J Scott from S. Sudan to Kenya. It is of the same concern and measure and of the same digree of content that I questioned the same of Zachary Muburi.

I beg to remain,

Yours Sincerely,

Conflict Minerals: Voices From The Congo

BLOOD MINERALS:The Criminalization of the Mining Industry in Eastern DRC
The Pole Institute convened representatives from diverse sectors of the Congolese society to share their analysis and prescriptions for addressing the de-criminalization of natural resources so that they can be a benefit to the Congolese people. Below are some excerpts geared towards the International community and the myriad efforts underway to address “conflict minerals.” Click here to download the full report.
Select Excerpts:
In order to rehabilitate and decriminalize the mining industry, which according to [Aloys] Tegera, generates more than two-thirds of the revenue of North Kivu, it is necessary to, in the first place, work towards the re-establishment of the Congolese state. Any efforts by the international community to re-organize and legislate for the Congolese mining industry without taking this fundamental step into account risk failure, “unless, of course, the various lobbies have in mind a Congo without the Congolese, which would clearly be absurd.” Introduction page 3
A glaring lacuna in all these efforts is the lack of involvement of the Congolese people in seeking solutions to problems that face them in their own country, and Johnson argues that unless the Congolese people are brought “back in” all these international efforts will remain, for their originators, an exercise in creating the DRC after their own image. Introduction page 4
[Dominic] Johnson argues that because of this failure to include the Congolese people in crucial debate on ‘their’ issues, the international community has made a serious error of judgment in not recognizing that the situation in the east of the DRC goes beyond just a presumed squabble over minerals and raises fundamental questions of the structuring of state power which have to be taken into account by anyone hoping to work with the Congolese state in order to reform the Congolese mining sector. Introduction page 4
It is imperative that the various people and organizations of good will who are determined to ensure that the minerals of Kivu are ‘clean’ or conflict-free first work towards a definition of the basics necessary for the re-establishment of the Congolese state. Only when this is in place will the control of the mining industry be possible. The various initiatives will not be effective unless this basic condition is met. Aloys Tegera page 11
It is argued that important aspects of the regulatory model now emerging are partly based on an erroneous and outdated analysis of the conflict dynamics in Eastern Congo and that this is likely to weaken its effectiveness on the ground. The error consists in regarding competition around minerals as the main reason for conflicts in Eastern Congo and the establishment of government authority as the main mechanism for ending such competition and thereby the conflicts themselves. Reforms centered around strengthening the rôle of the state in Eastern Congo rather than the people will, we contend, exacerbate conflict instead of ending it, even if they succeed in curbing the excesses deriving from mineral trade. Dominic Johnson page 22
It is therefore perfectly possible, under the certification and due diligence schemes now on the table, to claim to have solved a decades-old conflict about control of a mineral-rich region and the control of the trade of its produce without addressing any of the issues involved, without resolving conflict on the ground and without contributing to peace and
human security in a manner visible to the local population. Dominic Johnson page 43
However, beyond the possibility or even the impossibility of an international intervention to render the minerals of eastern DRC ‘clean’ for use, in other words conflict-free, it is important to emphasize that the criminalization of the mining industry underestimates the fact that more than two-thirds of the revenue of a province like North Kivu depends on mineral exports. Aloys Tegera page 8
