LAPSSET-600x300

The IGAD Executive Secretary Amb (Eng.) Mahboub Maalim on 13th May 2016 in Nairobi signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kenya’s LAPSSET Corridor Development Authority (LCDA) Director General Mr. Silvester Kasuku.

The MoU details cooperation by the two authorities towards development of the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport Corridor (LAPSSET). The overall goal of the LAPSSET Corridor Program is to interconnect the Republics of Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan among others. Once implemented the Program will link the landlocked regions of South Sudan and Ethiopia to Lamu Port in Kenya promoting regional integration in the Horn of Africa, and providing trade opportunities. The LAPSSET Corridor is also part of Africa’s Presidential Infrastructure Champion Initiative (PICI).

According to the signed MoU, IGAD and LCDA will work together in mobilising funds towards detailed engineering design studies of the LAPSSET Railway component of the Corridor (Lamu-Isiolo-Moyale-Addis Ababa/Isiolo-Nadapal-Juba, approx. 2,900 km). The design studies of the standard gauge railway will be spearheaded by IGAD Secretariat.

Donald J. Trump we’re paid for Speaking Engagements in 2015; the same as Hillary Clinton, but she is the problem for being paid, while when he was paid it was okay?

Trump debate quote CNN

As the GOP Presidential Nominee Donald Trump wild ride on Hillary Clinton of Democratic Party for her Speaking Engagement at Goldman Sachs. Let me show what the other Presidential Candidate have disclosed in his Financials, as his Vanity and his IRS Audit cannot be released, because he cannot show his real wealth and his real monetary status. But that is just the proud of his heritage Trump. Let me show you the foolishness he is proud of that is similar to Hillary Clinton, who he tries to take down while he have done the same for the money.

If you wonder why Donald Trump the GOP candidate doesn’t drop his IRS Taxes, here is my thought on that:

Opinion: Why Donald Trump won’t release the IRS Tax Returns? It is because of his Vanity!

Well, let’s get back to the orginal facts on Donald Trump earned money on speaking engagements in 2015 and why it is interesting as he is attacking Hillary Clinton. take a look!

The first is the speaking engagements for A C N INC on the 5/3/2015, 6/28/2015 and 2/14/2015 where Trump was compensated with $110,228, $14,222 and $450,000. So with the speeches with A C N INC in 2015 he earned $ 574,450 with them alone. What can be a three speeches worth over half a million dollars from Trump where the words tremendous and great 100 times?

Well, let me continue, A C N INC is not alone paying to have Donald Trump to speak at their houses and such. As the Donald likes to speak and be the Central Attention of the World with the proof of that he had a Speech to the International Council of Shopping Centers INC on the 8th December 2015 worth the $ 50,000; where he most have spoken about the value of marketing his name and using golden sharpie.

Trump broken flag

Donald Trump as stated likes to speak, so with for engagements was not enough for the Donald. Donald likes his own voice and especially when he can speak even to the National Multifamily Housing Council, whatever they stand for or what they cause are since he attended and spoke their on 22nd April 2015 and cashed in $ 100,000 for that speaking engagement.

He was not done so he had to speak to the Peoples Reality Company LLC on the 23rd January 2015, earning a $100,000. That company who lives in a virtual reality needed the vision of Trump to inspire them for a hundred grands.

Also as I covered before from this Public Financial Disclosure on his vanity, is the Speaking Engagement for Samsung; to be correct IMSMFL Incorporated for Samsung Elections America on the 4th March 2015. On that Speaking engagement alone Trump earned $ 150,000 on this.

Trump Quote

So let me put all the speaking engagements together we’re grossing $974,450 close to $1,000,000 United States Dollars for a 7 speaking engagements in 2015, that he has bragged about in his Financial Disclosure. So Donald Trump shouldn’t be too harsh on Hillary Clinton, the other Presidential Candidate for her Goldman Sachs speeches, as he has done something significant; the significant is that it’s practically the same, though not to a giant bank, but speaking for Samsung, A N C INC and so on.  

Let me say, if he can earn close to a Million USD on Speeches, why can’t Hillary Clinton? I am not a man for Hillary Clinton, but the nonsense attacks on her for doing it, cannot come from a man who has done the same. That doesn’t make sense, like most of his campaigning and stances politically except for his xenophobia and hatred that are explained that inside his brain is a tired mad-man who is not getting his lolli… Peace.

UGANDA: Sister of Arrested Former Presidential Candidate Addresses Media (Youtube-Clip)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_su18SuJOAM

“The sister of Ugandan former presidential candidate Kizza Besigye spoke briefly to the media outside Nakawa Court in Kampala on May 18 after he was formally charged with treason. Olive Kobusingye said she did not expect to arrive at the courthouse at 8.30am, 30 minutes before the alotted time of Besigye?s appearance, to find the session had already finished. ?By the time I walked to the court gates, it was, I think, quarter to nine, twenty to nine, and the vehicles were speeding out. I gathered that the court proceedings were over,? she said. ?This is not what we expected. Maybe we should be wiser with this government.? Colonel Kizza Besigye was a runner-up in Uganda?s February 2016 presidential election, losing out to Yoweri Museveni, who is currently serving his fifth term as president. February?s elections were overshadowed by accusations of ballot fraud and delayed arrivals of voting cards to multiple polling stations. Presidential hopefuls running against Museveni also experienced tactics of intimidation and violence on election day. A former Uganda Supreme Court justice, George Kanyeihamba, reportedly called for an explanation into Besigye?s most recent arrest and charge of treason” (JeanNewsTV, 2016).

Press Statement: NAADS, WFP to build grain stores to benefit 4,000 farming families in 10 districts of Uganda (17.05.2016)

NAADS

NEW YORK, United States of America, May 17, 2016The National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) have signed an agreement to construct 10 community-level grain stores in 10 districts of Uganda over the next four months in an effort to address grain storage challenges nationally while enhancing small-scale farmers’ access to quality produce markets.

Under the agreement, NAADS will provide US$1 million for WFP to construct and equip the warehouses in the districts of Adjumani, Hoima, Kibaale, Kiboga, Kiryandongo, Kyenjojo, Masindi, Mubende, Nakaseke and Napak.  Each unit will have a storage capacity of between 200 and 300 metric tons and is expected to support up to 400 farming households.

“NAADS has been focusing on providing seeds, and this has helped to increase production country-wide,” the NAADS Executive Director, Dr. Samuel Mugasi said today. “However, this partnership with WFP will take us a step higher in the value chain. It will enable NAADS to achieve its purpose of assisting farmers to reduce post-harvest food losses – including through modern storage – benefit from group marketing and improve their household incomes and livelihoods.”

Mugasi said there was no better choice of partner than WFP. He said, “WFP has built a good reputation in grain handling, mobilizing farmers for production and supporting agriculture value chains. It has a good model in place, and we are excited to be part of it. Under the MoU, WFP and NAADS will also jointly support small-scale farmer groups with soft skills and other capacity building for group marketing.”

WFP’s Country Director, Michael Dunford, said WFP’s role in Uganda primarily is to support the vision of the government, working with capable entities such as NAADS and Operation Wealth Creation in building agricultural capacity.

“Good infrastructure empowers farmers to access markets, gives them control over when they get to sell their grain and, as such, protects them from hunger,” Dunford said.

NAADS and WFP plan to work together to build another 10 stores next year. WFP has already established 60 storage facilities countrywide – using mainly funding from the United States — and farmers trading through them have been selling their grain more profitably.

Just-In: Odinga’s Car shot at during the Anti-IEBC Protest!

Raila Odinga 16.05.2016

The Nairobi Metropolitan Police Japheth Koome must calm down his Police Officers that are dispersing the CORD-Protesters around the Anniversary Tower in Central Nairobi, Kenya. Since they are not only shoting tear-gas and using water-cannons to stop their demonstrations there. On this THIRD Monday. The Police have gone further today as the Picture shows that the Police Officers used live bullet towards a Car. This car is not some random citizens car. This is the car of Hon. Raila Amullo Odinga, the CORD Principal Leader and former Prime Minister of Kenya. They shot directly at his car! This cannot be justified and the Officers who did this should be questioned and get punished for the consequence this bullets could have had.

IGP Joseph Boinett needs to take charge and set the standard for Policing in Kenya, as this unkind violence cannot be accepted! 

Time for Police Commander of Nairobi Japheth Koome to take responsibility of the violence they creates with their Anti-Riot Police Force and the tear-gas and water cannons, that the Police Officers even shoot at the cars of Oppostion Leaders, that his Policing with IMPUNITY and UNJUSTIFIED behaviour. No pride, no need and no care for life when you shot bullets like that towards a brother. Hon. Raila Odinga deserves not to be shot at! That is just taking it too far. I condemn that shooting and the acts of Nairobi Police, who did this without thinking about the implications. Peace.

Press Statement: Rumours of Finance Minister’s arrest are a disaster for SA (15.05.2016)

Pravin Gordhan Rescue

The arrest of the Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, would be a disaster for South Africa. It would cause an economic earthquake and make “9/12” look like a minor economic tremor.

Rumours reported today suggest that the Minister may be arrested, together with eight other officials, to face charges relating to the SARS “rogue unit”.

However, spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority, Luvuyo Mfaku, reportedly claimed no decision has been made to prosecute and that the matter remained under investigation.

The timing of the rumours could not be worse and will not only cause further turmoil in the markets, but also compromise efforts to avoid a ratings downgrade in South Africa.

What is worrying is that authorities are reportedly waiting for the “political go ahead”before ordering the arrest of the Minister, and eight other officials, to face charges relating to the SARS “rogue unit”.

This suggests that the investigation is politically motivated and part of President Jacob Zuma’s fight back campaign and attempt to neuter National Treasury.

The only option, with any hope of avoiding mutually assured destruction, is to appoint a judicial commission of inquiry, in terms of Section 84 of the Constitution, to investigate all the allegations surrounding the so-called SARS “rogue unit”.
