Opinion: Foreign Envoys Message show’s they are complicit in the Kenyatta seizing of power in 2017!

I don’t know if they are like bears who came out of the caves after hibernation. That is how its seems to the naked eye. That suddenly the Foreign Envoys in Nairobi woke up and needlessly had to address the stalemate and the concerning problems in the Republic. Not that they we’re concerned of the Opposition being ordered by the state as a Criminal Gang or the illegal detention of media and opposition MPs. Neither the attacks on the democracy the state has done to make sure the 26th October 2018 election went on.

I find it striking they care about the Constitution of 2010, but the 26th October 2018, which took 4 days to be announced result on the 30th October, because that is how Democracies are announced towards the so-called Supreme Court verified elections in November 2018. if you need 4 days to make the numbers, you know the IEBC was cooking in favor of somehow! This is something the Foreign Envoys should know too, because they don’t do that sort of act in their own Republic’s and Kingdom’s. Or do they?

The cases given to Supreme Court was dismissed because of lack of evidence, not because the Fresh Presidential Election was run smooth and justified. Even the Opposition was on the ticket, but wasn’t running. Which in itself is suspect for any naked eye, but the Foreign Envoys doesn’t care, as long as they get profits for investors or sending Kenyan soldiers to wars they don’t want to fight themselves. That is how it seems today.

Just take look at the mockery:

We strongly urge the Government to comply fully with court orders and follow legal process in appealing or contesting them. Freedom of expression, freedom of the media, and all civil rights need to be protected. When individuals are arrested, their rights should be respected and due process followed. Citizens have the responsibility to protest non-violently, and security services should avoid unnecessary or excessive use of force. Whatever the conduct of others, the government has a special duty to protect democratic institutions and adhere to the Constitution and the rule of law at all times. Meanwhile, the Opposition must accept the decision of the Supreme Court to uphold the election of October 26. Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto are the legitimate President and Deputy President of Kenya. The Opposition needs to accept this as the basis for the dialogue that it and many Kenyans want. Stoking and threatening violence are not acceptable, nor are extra-Constitutional measures to seize power” (U.S. Embassy in Kenya, 2018)

It’s like the Foreign Envoys forgets or neglect that on the 26th October 2017, the Fresh Presidential Election had a voter turnout, which by numbers was insane. Even as the public was actually demonstrating against it. In some districts and some counties like Saku Constituency in Marsabit County, that has only 27,082 registered voters, however incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta got 796,478 votes. How that is possible and is accepted by the Supreme Court. Is for me obviously rigging itself into power and seizing power. It is okay as long as that is the partner of the West, Mr. Kenyatta, but if Odinga questions this sort of activity, he is against the law and order? Really?

So the law for the Foreign Envoys are directed against Odinga, but not important when asking about the Voter Turnout and the Counties with special numbers like Saku Constituency. I could take Mandera West Constituency, where Kenyatta got 109,938 voters, which is fine, but the registered amount of voters there is 26,816. So I don’t know how that is possible either. But can the Foreign Envoys explain to me how this is justified victory and right? When Odinga is questioning this sort of affair?

That its okay for Kenyatta to seize power and misuse the government in his favor. Apply his rule of law, which is an assault on common sense and the judiciary. Which he has attacked himself since September 2017. I know that Kenyatta is a friend of these Envoys since they are defending him. But the track-record, the use of police brutality, killings in opposition strongholds and other violations of justice. But hey, they have no real consequence doing that. But that Odinga is swearing himself in, that is violation that they have to address.

Maybe, if Kenyatta could run a free and fair elections, where he didn’t order the IEBC to cook the numbers, misuse the IEBC and contractors, combined with Cambridge Analytica, Harris Media, OT Morpho and all other who has delivered the wished narrative the Kenyatta presidency needed. These are also foreign contractors who delivers things for government of the foreign envoys. That is why these are important piece of the puzzle.

I am content, because this was anticipated. Kenyatta are the loyal partner the Envoys needs for their interests, but their interests are not to have a government by the people, but by bots and ghosts. They prefer voting chickens over real people. Godec could even be a KGB or support the NIS people inside Nation Media Group for all we know. Since he has been to often at the State House supporting Kenyatta. He is so biased, that its sad to see the rest of the envoys being part of his charade. The truths of the botched elections that was verified by Supreme Court in November 2017, isn’t given for democracy. It was Kenyatta seizing power, if he was the real president, wouldn’t Kenyan’s have celebrated Jamhuri Day 2017 with him?

However, they we’re back home eating unga and not giving a damn about the state capture. That should be a signal the Foreign Envoys should care about, but they don’t! They are blind and cannot see. Peace.

Philippines: DILG’s directive of creating a BIT registry will make it harder for the Barangay’s officials to eat the money!

President Duterte’s unwavering political resolve to defeat corruption and bring about positive change makes our efforts all worthwhile” – Carlos Dominguez III

On the 14th May 2018, the Barangay and Sangguniang Elections are scheduled to take place in the Philippines. Therefore the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) are preparing elections. This is the local elections for the local government, meaning wards and municipalities are preparing for the coming elections, where mayors, councilors and governors are elected. Therefore, this is vital for the local democracy and the city halls. Also for the parties and the citizens as a whole to see the state of affairs and the leadership. If they need renewal of the incumbents or need new blood to generate change. If the citizens locally can change out the old and get fresh eyes to local questions and budgets. To secure better service delivery.

The good news from the Central Government and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) are preparing this for the election and future leadership of the Local Government:

As part of the DILG’s preparations for the forthcoming Barangay Elections this May, DILG OIC-Secretary Eduardo Ano is directing all incumbent punong barangays to conduct an inventory of barangay financial records and properties under their custody from the start of their term of office up to the present” (…) “Ano issued the directive this early to ensure smooth and systematic transition from the outgoing barangay officials to the incoming newly elected or re-elected barangay officials come June 30” (…) “This is also part of our efforts to sustain transparent and accountable local governance at the barangay level and to further ensure that all concerned barangay officials exercise due diligence in using barangay funds and properties,” he said” (…) “Under the directive, a Barangay Inventory Team (BIT) shall be created in each barangay to be chaired by the punong barangay. Its members shall include at least two kagawads, a barangay secretary, a barangay treasurer, a bookkeeper or city or municipal representative, and at least two civil society organization (CSO) representatives, preferably from a faith-based organization or members of the Barangay Development Council” (…) “Part of the functions of the BIT is to ensure the completeness of all barangay properties, financial records and documents (BPFRDs). BPFRDs include legislative and administrative records, transcript or minutes of meetings, list and status of complaints filed before the Lupong Tagapamayapa, updated registry of barangay inhabitants, list or inventory of current local or international development assisted projects, and all other documents containing barangay transactions” (DILG, 2018).

So this directive made by Minister Eduardo Ano is clearly setting up guidelines and the protocols to secure the funds of the Local Government. The new officials will have to keep the books and records of spending or financial transactions. This so the local officials cannot embezzle and misuse the public funds. This is yet another measure to stop corrupt behavior by President Rodrigo Duterte who has already established an Anti-Corruption Commission or the Philippines Truth Commission (PTC) in October 2017. The Philippines already have the Revenue Integrity Protection Service (RIPS), who was established in 2003 to also combat corruption, but this is made strictly for the ill-behavior in the Department of Finance. You also have the Office of the Ombudsman who has a mandate, which is specified to this: “The Ombudsman shall give priority to complaints filed against high ranking government officials and/or those occupying supervisory positions, complaints involving grave offenses as well as complaints involving large sums of money and/or properties (Sec. 15, R.A. No. 6770)” (Ombudsman.gov.ph – about us – Mandate). Final institution to look into the Finances and Assets of the Government concerning corruption is the Commission of Audit, the Komisyon ng Pangsuri. Which is also mandated to examine, audit and settle all accounts of the government. Check if the local authorities are following procedure or if they have overpaid for their services.

So Ano with the directive with Local BIT within every Barangay plus the already sufficient monitoring agents of RIPS, Ombudsman, COA and PTC. There should be such amount of measures to stop graft, corruption and kickbacks. Even if someone will always try to use their power for favors, build the most fantastic house in field outside of town or just making sure Mayor can use the ATM at the City Hall more than anyone else. Now they have the BIT to make sure the jobs of COA, Ombudsman and PTC is easier. Since the Barangay has to make sure their portfolio and their assets are verified before a transition. The local government has to deliver stocks, accounts and the lists of properties. To prove what they do have and not hide funds away from the Central Government. Clearly, this is a trick to make sure the Public Officials doesn’t misuse or hide information, values that the tax-payer pays for or even funds that embezzled from the public coffers.

If mayors or Barangay officials has misused funds and cannot account for the funds before the election. There are several bodies that can investigate it and if it is big enough, the Department of Finance might send others too. What this is a sign off, is that the Philippines are trying to tackle the amounts of corruption and known behavior it has had in the past and present. So that all the different parts of the government has to use even more effort to be able to get away with corruption. That the state now even makes list of inventory, funds and assets in general at the Barangay level. Proves the will of combating it and using stronger means stop it. It isn’t just words, since it is done right before elections. Therefore, the bragging lists and the possible truths of stocks can come forward. Because if the Barangay officials lie and someone else get elected. Finds nothing in the account. Clearly, its starting to report the previous local official to either of the bodies fighting corruption. So that the Barangay can get back the funds and assets the previous ones took from the state. Peace.

Russian Probe: The lack of releasing the Dems Memo – Proves that the Republican’s only works to obstruct the investigation!

Today, I will comment the non-sense of not releasing the 5th February Memorandum of the Democratic Party. That would be opposing to the Devin Nunes memo. However, the President, the White House and the Committee, has all voted that down. If the Republican’s believed there was a Democratic Party conspiracy against the case, they would have released this to prove. However, it is just hog-wash and this is groundhog day. Just with a small-handed smug-faced Danny DeVito lookalike in the White House. Who doesn’t have enough character or bright enough to understand the implications of his actions. That is why the Russian Probe needs to be carried out. Even if the Department of Justice and FBI is under assault by the President. That is more likely because he fears of the knowledge they are collecting on him and his family. Since they are all bound the affairs done within a short-window of time.

Since the Devin Nunes Memo was a dud, a broken glass and half-empty suggestions without any scrutiny or disclaimers. That was just made to bring the narrative of a partisan and problematic investigation in the Trump Organization, Trump Campaign of 2016 and their Russian associates. This is deliberate attack on Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Intelligence Community as whole in the United States. It has been made directly from the White House. Since the case implicates the President, who has over time done whatever in his power to obstruct and fire people who are close to investigation.

That is why the Devin Nunes Memo was supposed to vindicate and eradicate the issue. To show that Trump has collectively worked to hunt him down. Even if his campaign has non-disclosed every single meeting, 4 people are indicted and two has pleaded guilty already. Therefore, the case that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is basing, must be on facts he has collected. Who knows what sort of documents he has gotten through the raid and through he subpoenas. That is why Trump will do whatever to stop it. Because he knows deep down, that his connections and his agreements with foreign powers will hurt him. He has never attacked Russians or Russia, but he has attacked his investigators and the US Intelligence. Who has been building this case for months.

Now, the Memo Gate is proving as part of the Russian Probe, a real drama, not that Devin Nunes has had anything fruitful, only proven that Carter Paige has been in the FBI and CIA, and been under surveillance since 2013. Years before he became a part of the Campaign of Trump. So, the surveillance of him was because of his connections in Russia. Just like people was worried that Trump hired Paul Manafort who has had oligarchs and Ukraine Officials on his side. Therefore, the Kremlin and Russian affair isn’t a pipe-dream. There are too many pieces who are loosely connected and narrowing in the web.

That is why it is interesting, that FBI director Christoffer Wrey and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein sending letter to Devin Nunes, saying the “5th February Memorandum” cannot be disclosed to the public. Meaning, the Opposition views will dismantle the narrative mentioned by Devin Nunes. Therefore, the letter to the Public from the White House saying it is not possible. However, there was no issue of information or troubles doing the same for the ruling party Republican’s and Nunes to release his. So the President can allow the Memo to be released if it is revised, and then claiming that to be in favor of transparency! So if the narrative of the Memo is changed to fit the program of the White House, it is possible to be released is the technical term of the letter of yesterday. That is what initially Counsel to the President Donald McGahn III wrote in the last paragraph in his letter to Nunes on the 9th February 2018.

All parts of the Bureau and the Department of Justice leadership is Republican, just like the House and Senate is the same. Therefore, the narratives that is favorable, would come from the Republican. That is why we are not seeing the Democratic Memo. Not that I need to see it, but the changing dynamics and the special favors of the White House with the release of Nunes Memo, is evident. You cannot unleash possible intelligence from one camp into one investigation and not unleash from the other party. That is just plain stupid. Even if I don’t think I would be more enlighten by the 5th February Memo. So concerning the affairs of the Banana Republic created by Trump. This sort of drama is a proof of the non bi-partisanship that is in DC at the moment. It is all republican and the rest gets a gentle F-U-C-K Y-O-U. Just in nicer terms like these: “Accordingly, we are once again treating the Committee’s action as request for declassification pursuant to the President’s constitutional authority”.

This proves that President does whatever he can to make himself look better, even without knowledge of the intelligence released. Even the efforts to thwart and silence other views like this. That is why anyone questioning and looking into it, been called fake news. Republican’s knows the deep waters, but trying to sink the sub-marine. We just have to see how it goes. I just cannot wait to read the deposition and the collected evidence from Mueller, when that comes and revealed. That will be damaging and also prove that its far from a hoax and nonsense as the Right Wing try to say the whole time.

However, people like me are not buying it, just like I didn’t buy it from the same Right Wing narrative that Iraq under Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). You thought we forgot the charade and drama created around the George W. Bush Presidency to invade the Middle Eastern Country? They are using the same techniques and stories, to deflect from the lacking evidence. The Republican Party are trying to associate all questioning with anti-Patriotism, however, it should be unpatriotic to collude with Russian to get power. Also have trouble with understanding how low the Republican’s goes to defend the possible treasonous behavior and lack of intolerance against their own republic. It’s like they are all Brutus and are happy they paid him to kill Cesar! Peace.

Trouble in Paradise VIII: President Yameen is silencing the media and the MoD warns people not to disclose information!

Police Service has handed over 2 individuals, a British national and an Indian National to Immigration Authorities. These individuals were found to be working and reporting as journalists while on a tourist visa, in contravention to the Immigration Act and Regulations” (Maldives Police, 09.02.2018).

So the oppression in Maldives is continuing as the PPM Party are holding lavish rallies, while opposition are met with police brutality, journalists detained and more MPs behind bars. The State of Emergency is used to harass and control all parts of society. They are now even taking foreign nationals as they are covering the constitutional crisis and the implications it has. We know this has negative affect as the Republic need a positive perception as Tourism is a vital part of the economy. On the 8th February Maldives Voice reported that 40% of Guest Houses are facing cancellation because of the crisis. That is big number of tourists who will go elsewhere for their holidays and honeymoons. Which would have brought needed foreign exchange and work in general for the people. That is why Fitch Ratings, even has said the volatile could change their rating and degrade the economy.

Received information about an Indian national, Money Sharma, working as a journalist, who has been detained by the Maldivian authorities. We have asked our Embassy to get in touch with the local authorities to ascertain more details of the case” (India TV, 09.02.2018). There is also report that two Indian Reporters working for Agence France-Presse (AFP) who is also arrested today. While a Chinese Journalist has been allowed to take pictures of the protest happening today in Male.

You know it isn’t going well, when the Ministry of Defense are coming with this sort of statement:

Ministry of Defence and National Security has warned that action will be taken without prior warning, against those who disclose information that endangers national security. In a press release on Thursday night, the ministry said many are publishing content which endangers national security, regarding the state of emergency declared as per clause 253 of the Constitution. The ministry also stated that live programs broadcasted on various media platforms are creating discord and inciting fear in the hearts of the public” (Vnews, 2018).

And the Police Service saying this:

Maldives Police Service has handed over two individuals, a British national and an Indian National to Immigration Authorities. These individuals were found to be working and reporting as journalists while on a tourist visa, in contravention to the Immigration Act and Regulations. We urge all foreign nationals to adhere to immigration guidelines and acquire the relevant visa that corresponds to the purpose of their visit. We note that several foreign journalists are currently working in the Maldives and welcome all those who wish to do so in the future” (Maldives Police Service, 09.02.2018).

So the Army is saying people has to be careful with spreading news and information. Meaning, the Central Government and President Yameen wants to control the news and headlines. So that the tight-grip and the assault on the Judiciary doesn’t spin-off. Secondly that the State of Emergency doesn’t get into question, even if that is not following the Constitutional Codes itself. Since the Parliament hasn’t been notified or the proper reasons for issuing it hasn’t happen. Unless, that the President was afraid in his own skin about the Supreme Court Ruling of 1st February and had to revise it to save face. That is why the chaos has happen in the first place. Therefore, he is creating a police state, because Yameen cannot manage to loose face or power.

Yesterday, the Raajje TV was closed from Broadcast, that was the biggest Television broadcaster in the Maldives. So the government are working in full speed to takeover and silence dissidents. They are not accepting anyone else. That is why the Chief Justice Saaed is in jail, while MPs and such are there too. People who was ordered freed, but was overturned on the 8th February 2018. This was intended by the President to revise the order, but only solidify his attacks on the Judiciary.

A typical sign of oppression is while the government party PPM are having grand rallies and speeches, the opposition rallies are destroyed by the Police, even as they are acting peaceful in Male. So the gatherings are allowed for PPM and Yameen, but not the rest. That is typical sign of dictatorship, where government party has advantages, while the rest has to suffer for their freedom of expression. That is now shown by the state, with the army and police stopping media from working as normal. Even spreading fear to Raajje TV. They are not defending, but opposing free media.

While also keeping MPs and Opposition leaders behind bars, while stopping believing in rule of law or respecting the Constitution. That is worrying signs and proving how neglectful Yameen is at this point. Peace.
