Kenya: Press Statement on the Proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill by Hon William Kassait Kamket (28.02.2.018)



The value of Nairobi National Park as a tourism site is dwindling and with amp-speed, the government are preparing all sorts of activity, to take away the natural environment and make sure for what they seems as progress. Like always with this KANU government, sorry Jubilee, the Court Orders are not followed. This time being a Chinese Contractor building the Standard Gauge Railroad (SGR). However, leaked documents proves that the government plans more activity in the NNP. They are not caring about the environment and want to make quick bucks on the area.
Seemingly on the 23rd February 2018 the construction of the Standard Gauge Railroad (SGR) as reported by Kenyans United Against Poaching (KUAPO) wrote:
“We have just received an alert that work on SGR Phase 2A has started within the boundaries of Nairobi National Park. Reports are coming in that about 40 workers with heavy machinery have started work near the embankment close to east gate and a construction camp that was set up last week. The area is heavily guarded by KWS rangers who are now not allowing anyone to get close. If these works are related to SGR Phase 2A, they are in contravention of the STOP ORDER currently in place as well as ongoing contempt of court proceedings. Either way, these works are in violation of EMCA and the WCMA and must be stopped immediately” (KUAPO, 23.02.2018).
The Environmental Management Consultancy (EMC) has invited stakeholders to a meeting on the 2nd March at the KWS Safari Walk Hall. This because the EMC are planning to build and operate certain projects in the NNP. They are planning construction a road from the Inland Container Depot in Embakasi Nairobi to access road line A which is a 3.8 kilometers road along the NNP, so this road are linking the Nairobi Inland Container Depot (ICD) and the Southern Bypass road for eases for the trucks. This is on orders by the Kenya Railways.
So it is not enough that the SGR are built true the NNP, but they need are road to pass there. So now rails and trucks can be brought true. EMC and Kenya Railways. Both actions are proving that the government doesn’t care about how they will impact the environment. We can wonder if there is more Chinese investors behind the road-development, as it took some Chinese contractors to build the SGR through the park.
If the Jubilee cares about how tourists and tourism pages wrote recently about NNP, this is taken from the Traveller, which claims to be this: “Traveller is the essential resource for Australians who love to travel. We are dedicated to providing the best travel advice by offering the perfect mix of inspirational content and comprehensive destination guides with things to do and places to stay” (Traveller, About Us).
So when the Australians read this about NNP: “One minute outside one of the biggest airports in Africa and there’s a herd of zebras wandering through some empty bushland just off the main road into the city. Two minutes later, there are three giraffes turning their heads this way and that, looking for all the world as if they’re preparing a traffic report for their mates back in the jungle. And within just 15 minutes of clearing customs at Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta Airport in the capital Nairobi, I’m sitting watching three lions stalk another dazzle of zebra and buffalo having a mud bath in arguably the world’s most astonishing wonderland – a massive wildlife conservancy on the very fringes of the fifth biggest city on the continent” (…) “It’s extraordinary in being 117 square kilometres of wilderness on the doorstep of a massively growing metropolis. We’re now the only capital city in the world with over 600 species of animals and birds, and more than 500 species of plants. It’s amazing that it’s so close to the city, but so far in terms of its atmosphere” (Sue Williams – ‘Nairobi National Park, Kenya: The world’s most astonishing wonderland’ 19.02.2018 link: http://www.traveller.com.au/nairobi-national-park-kenya-astonishing-wonderland-h0wbrz).
So when Australians reading this, they might be interested in visiting the place, even other foreigners, as they will bring good foreign exchange and secure employment for many through the tourism industry. However, that doesn’t seem important and such. As the state are now displaying plans for development, where they could take care of the environment and also earn funds on foreign tourist. It could been easy, instead they are building infrastructure in the midst of a National Park, because that is genius idea.
It is brilliant to cut of the park on different positions, one with the rails, the other with the road. So they can develop the areas that are cut-off instead of taking care of the NNP. That can clearly be seen as the vision, as the railroad will not slice parts of it off and then the road coming and might do more. It is just so fitting, they coincide. It is ignorant to think otherwise and wonder if the Chinese or the government has plans with the part where the railroad will drive around. Peace.









There is speculations that there is opening cracks within the National Super Alliance (NASA), that shouldn’t surprise anyone, since the central leadership of NASA didn’t show-up when Raila Odinga and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) had their People’s President Swearing-In on the 30th January 2018. The leadership of Amani National Congress (ANC) Musalia Mudavadi, Wiper Democratic Movement Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and FORD Kenya Moses Wetan’gula. Who all wasn’t at the venue in Uhuru Park.
Therefore, that the cracks are coming now is expected, just like all of them are scratching for their futures, while the Jubilee is planning their next loot. Because it is like the leadership within Jubilee are planning for the running-mates for Deputy President William Ruto and if Gideon Moi will exceed him. It is in the same regard, that the NASA leadership are planning their road ahead of 2022. What is sad is they are accepting defeat and the illegitimate government of President Kenyatta. Just as the Cabinet Secretaries are sworn-in and the start of extended loans of the regime is appearing. A hot minute after the NASA was ordered by the CS Fred Matiangi to be a “criminal gang”. Many of the leaders has gotten suspended licenses of arms, passports and deals. They have lost their security detail and also could lose more of private finances, as the state will use their position to harass and destroy NASA.
Seemingly it seems to work, because Kalonzo, Wetangula and Mudavadi isn’t really pushing resistance, they wasn’t even trying to make a proper ghost government. They just was afraid in their homes and hasn’t tried to push any professed agenda together. Seemingly, the NASA leadership are crumbling. Not that is unlikely. I have been waiting for Kalonzo to push himself to Jubilee or anywhere else, where the grass is greener. That is because that would fit his ways, since he has moved-on before.
Mudavadi who came in quickly before the elections and did his thing. But he hasn’t moved anywhere or seemed like in direct contact. Wetangula is the silent one of these three. But the ANC, WDM and Ford-Kenya, are the smaller parties inside the NASA. It is the ODM and Odinga who has the biggest following, all three of them knows this. Even as if they go away and continue on their own. They need to have alliance with some sort of kingmaker or kingpin. Jubilee has had it and used that to make the alliance of the parties into one single unit before the election in 2017.
We know that this has already cost for Wiper and Kalonzo, as the Ukambi Youth Forum has dismissed him twice after 30th January 2018. They have now said that they don’t trust him. We can await what other Youth Groups to do ANC and Ford-Kenya. As they haven’t shown loyalty to the agenda of stopping Jubilee either. Kalonzo was supposed to be running-mate and first deputy under Odinga. He has clearly not have the motivation for following that. Since he backed-off and trying to take the secure way out.
If these are bailing out now, to secure the present and make something new for 2022. Then they are clearly, showing that they only thought CORD/NASA was a flagship to use, but not to stop the Jubilee. Kalonzo has really started to show his dismay and therefore youths are addressing him. Soon, the same might happen with Mudavadi and Wetangula. They might end up with favors and pleasures on the level of Ekuru Aukot of the Thirdway Alliance. If they play it wrong, the public will have much favors and care about him. They will be in the same division of relevance Thirdway, is that the aims of the fellas?
Will they give away and risk losing the public crowds around the ODM and Odinga, over possible quick-fix money elsewhere? Are they having so little integrity, that they trade that off for a possible favor in 2022?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the public turned on them and shunned them. They was supposed to support the People’s Assembly, be in resistance of the modern day KANU government. Be in opposing place and show the way of a real change towards the Kenyatta Presidency. Instead, they will prolong and makes sure the government get their way. We can really question if they where there just to gain of popularity of Odinga and not really offering themselves for the cause. They would not risk themselves or their position. Not able to take he cost, even as supporters of them was detained, hurt and even died in demonstrations. If they went under the banner and because of one of these leaders. Then they were played by them and used, just like the government has used the ferried supporters during the elections.
If these leaders doesn’t understand that sentiment and giving in now, as they have started a hardline, a way that cost now, but benefit in the long run. Then they don’t understand the fight against the cartels that are running the republic. Peace.






“We woke up in the kitchen
Saying, “How the hell did this shit happen?”
Oh, baby, drunk in love
We be all night, last thing I remember
Is our beautiful bodies grindin’ up in that club
Drunk in love” – Beyonce (‘Drunk in Love’ from the album Beyonce, released on the 17.12.2013).
Let me set this straight, the Jubilee, the President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto have been professing the paradigm motto: “The time for noise and politics is behind us, let us get back to work”. They have trying to say it ever since the Fresh Presidential Elections 2017 was over. Clearly the Jubilee and regime is struggling with the aftermath of the election. The Kenyatta and Ruto government are trying to justify their existence. That is why they are using all methods to silence National Super Alliance (NASA). They are using all kind of tricks to make life hard for the opposition. We can just wonder when they strike Raila Odinga. It is just a matter of time before they do so.
Right now, the Jubilee are trying their best with the strategy of saying “time for politics is over”. That because the elections and the campaigns has winded down. However, they are a political party and a government. They are working day to day with politics and policies. They put out the messages of this sort, time and time again.
Calling the speeches, pledges and the campaigning noise, while saying the work in government is separated from the politics. That is where I beg to differ. All work in government, all work as a political party, involves politics. It is very simple reason behind it all and for why I say that. They are fishes in the water, they are trying to distance themselves from the water. If they jump out of the water, they will secure their death. A fish out of the water, is a bad idea. That is what the Jubilee is saying when, we work to leave politics!
If they we’re sincere, they would leave campaigning, but not politics. They would leave out rallies and PR exercises, however, they are using PR with this sort of messaging. That this hasn’t been more scrutinized is beyond me. Because it is basic instinct. It is basic, so basic as a kitchen usually contains some sort of food. The same is that politicians works with politics. The President, the Deputy President and the whole government will work with politics. That isn’t some sort of magic trick.
These people might act like gangster, cartel-bosses with their appointments and hires family and friends to higher positions. They are using the state reserves as private bank-accounts and misuse public funds. At a rate that is foolish, while their corrupt behavior is so common, the riches people isn’t businessmen, but the politicians.
It is just an insane narrative, that a politician are spelling out the need to stop politics. Its like judges and lawyers stopping working with laws. It would be like footballers stop playing football. It just doesn’t make sense, so if this is the Harris Media, Cambridge Analytica or the President Strategic Communication Unit (PSCU). Who knows who has made the Jubilee Party, make the President and Deputy speak like this. It makes them look love-drunk and foolish.
I think the Jubilee Party is drunk and in love with power, that is why they are forgetting what they are. They are waking up and not remembering their place and their visions. They are so lost in place of power. So they are forgetting it all and waking up in the kitchen…
Forgetting what happen last night and that they are involved in politics no matter what. Peace.
