David Ndii Cash Bail Receipt (Bond Paper) – (04.12.2017)

NASA Chief Strategist David Ndii arrested taken to Milimani Law Court and later released on Bond!

The National Super Alliance (NASA) Chief Strategist David Ndii who was arrested at his hotel, Leopard Hotel in Kwale County, driven towards Mombasa and finally ended in DCI in Nairobi. Today he has been charged and alleged with two counts of Incitement.

David Ndii and his legal team is at the Milimani Law Courts. Where the charges and counts will be delivered. I am suspecting that the state will using the Penal Code of CAP 63. Where they will use Article 96 : “Any person who, without lawful excuse, the burden of proof whereof shall lie upon him, utters, prints or publishes any words, or does any act or thing, indicating or implying that it is or might be desirable to do, or omit to do, any act the doing or omission of which is calculated” (Penal Code – Cap 63). This might be used against him for the resistance message and for the resistance of the state with the newly created People’s Assemblies, which he is running the county. If he is charged with this count in the court, he could face up to five years in prison.

If not as part of the same Penal Code of CAP 63 Article 77: “Subversive activities (1) Any person who does or attempts to do, or makes any preparation to do, or conspires with any person to do, any act with a subversive intention, or utters any words with a subversive intention, is guilty of an offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding seven years” (Penal Code – CAP 63). But by forcing these laws for the public opinion and for creating People’s Assembly is a stretch to say at least. Than, you could question the subversive and incitement of violence created by William Ruto and President Uhuru Kenyatta during the campaign and the rallies after 1st September 2017. They have attacked and thrown rocks at the Courts and NASA. At levels that David Ndii ever has covered or acted upon.

That is why this sort of actions are worrying. Even if they are not sanctioned, but by his actions as a People’s Assembly Committee within the NASA is turned criminal. For standing up for his beliefs and his political place within Kenya. Shouldn’t be criminal. As he was hounded like a drug-lord in Kwale and later transported without knowledge to Nairobi. Later questioned by officers and then taken to Milimani Law Courts. Where several of attorneys and other NASA leaders came to help his case.

After over 24 hours with these charges, this news came:

DPP Keriako Tobiko has directed DCIKenya that David Ndii be released on police bond. Further, DPP has directed that once investigations are completed, the resultant inquiry file be forwarded to ODPP Kenya for appropriate directions” (ODPP KE, 04.12.2017).

Clearly, this case isn’t over and Kenyatta are using scare tactics and the courts to try to put opposition into submission. He and his comrades are clearly showing their totalitarian traits and their oppressive behavior. If they will ever charge him for the fake memo in the article inside Standard Media Digital on the 1st December 2017. Is hard to say, but that is paper-thin as the man himself is saying it is fake. Therefore, the NASA lawyers and others would have field day in the trial if the Jubilee used the courts to file a case on that matter.

So now they are pending investigations onto the man, who they have wrongfully arrested in the first place. If Ndii would sue the state and he should together with the NASA. To prove how wrong it was and how blatant disregard of the rule of law. It all was. This is totally disrespectful.

Ndii shouldn’t be out on BOND. He should be 100% free, just like all other citizens. But because of political affiliation and leadership role in NASA. He is now an open target by the authorities. It is really a double standard. Peace.

Kenya: David Ndii Search Certificate of his hotel room at Leopard Hotel (03.12.2017)

NASA Chief Strategist David Ndii arrested in Kwale County!

If you ever thought the Jubilee and President Uhuru Kenyatta really won in October 2017 Fresh Presidential Elections, you are wrong. Why do I mention this today? Well, the Jubilee and their National Police Service together with the Flying Squad aka Central Intelligence Division (CID) have tracked down David Ndii in Kwale County and has arrested him there. This because of his role in strategy within the National Super Alliance (NASA) and the newly created People’s Assembly. The Jubilee and the government are clearly fearing the power of these outside entities, as they have now arrested Ndii for his role in this.

Therefore this is the story of today:

David Ndii being taken to Diani Police Station from Leopard Beach Hotel in Kwale because of his appointment to stear People’s Assembly. The NASA leadership is in the picture” (…) “One Mr Aleng Peter Gimwani, Service. No 234336 from the Flying Squad and five officers picked Dr David Ndii a few minutes ago from Leopard Beach Hotel in Kwale. Alenga told Ndii’s wife that they are taking him to Diani Police Station. But Ndii is not at Diani” (…) “He went to Leopard Beach with 7 men who said they wanted David for questioning at the Diani police station. Ndii associates followed them to police station after 10 minutes but the he has not been taken to Diani” (…) “Police have confirmed they have David Ndii at Diani Police Station. But they want to go back to his Leopard Beach Hotel in Kwale and pick the computer and laptop for the information they need” (Dennis Onyango, 03.12.2017).

The arrest also come after the Standard Digital by Robert Abong’o – “NASA Chief Strategist David Ndii sends strong message to ruling party” on the 2nd December 2017. This story, Ndii said himself was “Fake News”. The vital part of the story is this: “Here is Ndii’s statement: You steal the people’s democracy and kill the whistleblowers. You oppress the judiciary and call them names. High profile election officials kidnapped and brutally murdered. Never again shall elections be rigged in Kenya. This madness shall stop. The time has come. From peace to pieces. Ballot to bullet. Poll to pain. We shall pay the price. From the rouge police to ethnic profiling. We were all Kenyans until the government classified us, greed separated us and police disregarded us. Mugabe was sworn in, the people removed him. Kibaki was sworn in the people rejected him. That’s why we are back to the People’s Assembly. Egypt shall tell you more. We refuse dialogue at the expense of electoral justice. Those who stole our democracy told us to entertain them with our cries. They told us to demonstrate and shout all we want. To entertain them with our sweat, blood and tears” (Abong’o, 02.12.2017).

I believe the arrested man, more then the Githeri Press, because of their track-record. Especially concerning the issues of the People’s Assembly and the expressed nature of NASA own statements and memo’s to the world. These are not combined with the story that was in the media or in Standard Media Digital. David Ndii has more authentic message and also approach combined with the leadership inside NASA. When we also know that within 24 hours he is detained and arrested at the Leopard Beach Hotel in Kwale, this proves that the state planned this and planted the story to be able to arrest him. That is what seems most likely, since he was in progression and planning for a People’s Assembly in Kwale.

As expected they would use the story and the People’s Assembly Committee leadership against him. Therefore, Jubilee and the Police is charging him like this: “David Ndii has been arrested by jubilee government for what they call treasonous incitement via twitter on self defense against police brutality on unarmed civilians”. Which only a nutcase and idiots would arrest people over, a little like retweeting “goblin” and being detained in Zimbabwe. Clearly, the Kenyan Police is trying to be good as the Zimbabwean was in the final days of Mugabe.

Free David Ndii and his cause, his ideas combined with the NASA leadership will not be intimidated, because the idea and paradigm shift is already starting. Because the Jubilee is creating a vacuum and not fixing the issues, but trying to silence the opposition. Either by guns, tear-gas or arresting on arbitrary arrest like this. Ndii should be charged and it should be public. The NASA leadership will cover legal expertise and the scrutiny of the state will arrive from the fist minute. No doubt. It is already starting.

Kenyatta and Ruto, this is foolish. We know it and you do to! Peace.

Opinion: President Akufo-Addo message on development is what the world needs!

Yesterday, the Ghanian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo addressed the Press together with the French President Macron. As he did this he asked serious questions about governance and development. Akufo-Addo proved with brilliance what many people are saying about the African continent, but isn’t heard from the people in power. Akufo Addo actually wants like all other sovereign states to be charging his own people for the services they are getting and not handouts from strangers abroad. That isn’t noble, that is Statesmanship and responsibility. As he don’t want aid, but trade. The President wants Ghana to make it on its own and with its own resources, instead of billing the tab from afar.

All nations and all presidents should seek this paradigm. His own words are powerful and it is needed, in times when states are either addicted to aid or borrowing funds at levels that are destroying the economies. These words and shift should be taken by all states who are used to aid. So they can prepare their citizens and their institutions to be built. So that governance and the government can deliver services to their public.

Addressing a press conference with France President Emmanuel Macron during the latter’s one-day working visit to Ghana on Thursday, President Akufo- Addo said African countries cannot continue to make policies based on the support the Western world can give. He said, “Our responsibility to charter a path which is about how we can develop our nations ourselves. It is not right for a country like Ghana, 60-years after independence to still have its health and education budget being financed on the basis of the generosity and charity of European taxpayers” (…) “We need to have a mindset that says we can do it… and once we have that mindset we’ll see there’s a liberating factor for ourselves,” he said. Akufo-Addo said the only way Africa can stop its young men and women from migrating to other countries to seek greener pastures is to put in place systems that work. “We want to have those energies working inside our countries and we are going to have those energies if we begin to build systems that tells the young people of our country that their hopes, the opportunities are right here with us,” he stressed” (…) “Our concern should be with what we need to do in this 21st century to move Africa away from being cup-in-hand and begging for aid, for charity and for handouts,” he said” (Ghanaweb, 2017).

I’m European, I don’t care what Macron said or wanted to say after hearing Akufo-Addo speech. It was powerful and needed. The words that is expressed and the needed shift is there. Not that charity or aid should automatically stop. But the world, the leaders and the states themselves. Needs to find their way to sustain and develop mechanism for collecting revenue and also tax properly services. Secondly, needs proper guidelines and institutions to sufficiently create growth and stagger inflation. Combined with investment in not only extraction and producing crops, but also create products with it. So that the state don’t only get the low value export, but get refined and developed products on the world market. That isn’t an easy fix and has been tampered-on ever since independence and the world order hasn’t made it better too.

Initially, the power lays in the hands of the leadership. In the hands of people Akufo-Addo and others. Who can leave behind institutions and markets, that can leave behind educated and industries that brings wealth not only to a chosen few, but to the GDP of their respective nations. While stopping the current fix and re-up of more aid donations and charity from European taxpayers.

I hope that the African leadership are listening to this and actually follows this. To be truly independent. Be developed and generate the wealth the African people deserve and the stability of institutions it also should create to prosper. Maybe, not leadership as western-democracies, but in states and elected leadership that takes responsibility and uses the skills and resources for the benefit of all citizens. Not only for corporate citizens, but all of them. Building states and building democracies where the people and state are working for a common-goal. The betterment and changing today for the future. Not awaiting handouts from Berlin, Paris or London. The Ghanaian republic deserve this, they deserve to handle on their own, all former colonies and former protectorate deserves this. Just like the European republics and kingdoms are responsible for their own finances and economy. They are not awaiting funds from China or US to save them…

The same we should wish to say about African state, who are begging for donors and loans to fill the void of own taxation and revenue. Therefore, the speech from President Akufo-Addo deserves credit, not because he is African and wants to get rid of the hands-out. But because he speaking the truth in general. Every single statesman on planet earth, should work for this goal, no matter which continent and whatever country they are running. It doesn’t matter, all citizens and states should work for this common goal that President Akufo-Addo speaks off. Also, European Nations that are struggling with debt and with deficit like Greece and Italy, should also work for this goal and not be saved by other institutions. This is a world-wide issue, not only on the African continent. Peace.

Opinion: Kenyatta tarnish his own legacy as he is sworn-in at Kasarani; as the Police is quelling NASA supporters at the Prayer Rally at Jacaranda!

The election was not a contest between a good dream and a bad dream; it was a contest between two competing visions. I believe that those who voted for me chose the better vision. This, however, does not invalidate the aspirations of those who did not vote for me. I undertake to be the custodian of the dreams of all, and to be the keeper of the aspirations of those who voted for me and those who did not. I will be the President of all. And I will devote my time and energy to build bridges to unite and bring prosperity to all Kenyans. Today is a historic day for our great Nation. First our gratitude is to Almighty God. I also point out that the Kenyan voter has been the most important player in the election. Everyone who voted played a role in strengthening our democracy: today’s celebration is yours. Asante sana” (Uhuru Kenyatta – Inauguration, 28.11.2017).

Today, there it is 11 Presidents at Kasarani Stadium for the Swearing-in of the 2nd Term of Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto. While that is happening the National Super Alliance had planned a Prayer Rally for the recently deceased supporters at Jacaranda Stadium. This is the rally where Raila Odinga and the leadership of NASA would show-up. Where the Police had it sealed off, and showed tear-gas and water-canons. So that is proof of the two different states within the state now.

Kenyatta and Ruto is currently basking in glory of despots and supporters. While the NASA are under fire and burning as they planned and notified the authorities of the prayer rally. Therefore, the injustice now is put into system. As Jubilee Party and the Ruling Regime can really do as they please. Nothing stops them and they will do whatever to quell the NASA. The acts on Mnyanja Road have proven how ill the government is and how illegitimate it is.

Kenyatta knows this and therefore using force to stop the opposition from the rally there today. As he wants all the glam and good shots at the Kasarani Stadium. Clearly, because of his actions and orders, people will look into aftermath at Jacaranda stadium, where more lives are lost. The count right now is 5 people killed by state officers either Anti-Riot Police or Soldiers.

Today, the speech of Kenyatta doesn’t matter, it is pointless, the inauguration of him is too. He proves to the world that the people are supporting Odinga and even dying for him. As the state officers are killing its own. While several Presidents are trying to legitimizing the regime. The media has been banned from showing live footage of the happenings at Jacaranda, as the show at Kasarani was going smoothly. Today, it’s also ironic that in the last 48 hours the Jubilee has used school-buses to ferry the public to its ceremony. While Acting CS Fred Matiangi, earlier this year has banned this sort of activity. Clearly, the Jubilee is allowed to breach their own regulations when it fits them.

There is clearly to type of rules and two different attitudes. The Jubilee uses nice words and rhetoric, they own it all, but the public support is behind NASA. There are different tensions, as Kenyatta trying to talk of peace between all, while his orders from above is killing civilians. They are ambushing, even throwing garbage at the Jacaranda Stadium, which they knew about. The NASA didn’t do anything ill at Kasarani. So the proof of double standard are there.

The live bullets and the oppressive behavior will back-fire. Again, innocent lives gotten lost behind this hurt between leaders of Kenya. The NASA are trying to do their thing, but Jubilee is stifling it. They have the state powers and the police organizations to handle it. Kenyatta should have let the rally go without violence, without these senseless killings. He should have, but he couldn’t handle being humiliated by Odinga’s crowd and popularity. That he could be shadowed by fellow Kenyan leader. The Pyrrhic Victory will clearly hunt him… it will overshadow all of his reign. Even if he is partly legal by the Supreme Court and by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Still, it will forever be questionable and even with the facts of rigging will tarnish his reputation.

Kenyatta will never be seen as a legitimate president in many eyes and it is proven today. That is the reason why he has to quell and silence NASA rallies. He stops them and uses all tactics. This will not be winning in the long-run. Jubilee, might have the power, but lost important parts of the public. They will never see him as their President. Even as they mourning the dead, he killed more and ordered more death. That is the legacy and the blood on his hands. He can speak peace, but his acts is of violence. Remember that, that is the reality and not something that should be said with ease.

Today, wasn’t a celebration or the start of the second term of Kenyatta. Today is a day again of mourning, innocent lives died, while Jubilee celebrated themselves. If this continues, it will be their demise, how many people can they take without it matters? How much violence and political instability can the Kenyatta government muster before it cracks? That is what we shall wonder about. Since this is self created and self possessed narrative they have created. It should have been a beautiful day, basking in glory and in promise of a better tomorrow. Instead, its in the blood of old and defeat that it will be remembered for.

Kenyatta, your losing it, either your legacy or your power. This is not the way to run and to win. This is the way to stay, but not to be respected or be part of something greater. You might used some powerful and peaceful words, but your actions are depressing. You cannot even show some sympathy or let people mourn without leaving more hurt. That is your legacy now. Peace.
