I am amazed how President Uhuru Kenyatta continues to hammer on the National Super Alliance (NASA). NASA demonstrations are hold peaceful until the Police show-up, throw their tear-gas and barricades the streets. They come with their anti-riot gear, the Police is shooting innocent people and really not respecting the NASA demonstrations. If the police had been standing on the side in peace like they do when Jubilee supporters do, then the violence and killings wouldn’t happen. As the Police Officers are killing grandma’s, even a baby during an Anti-IEBC was killed by a Police officer. This here should be condemned. The violence is state made. Therefore, the words of the President is disgusting and proving his power with impunity.
From today’s speech:
“If you want peaceful demonstrations, hold peaceful demonstration but we will not allow anybody to violate the rights of other Kenyans” (…) “There is no peaceful demonstration that allows the stoning of the police, stoning of the cars of innocent Kenyans or looting of the wares ofmama mboga (vegetable vendor) who is trying hard to earn a livelihood” (…) “Kenya has no crisis. Kenya has no problem. The only problems we have are a result of one man who goes by the name of Raila Amollo Odinga who has refused to accept the will of the people and is trying to take power through the back door by causing violence, commotion and chaos” (…) “And the decision of who will lead the nation will be made by the people of Kenya and not anybody else” (President.go.ke, 2017).
I am impressed by the Kenyan President, who within his authority and with his Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi ordered bans of the Anti-IEBC Demonstrations. While the Campaigns towards 26th October can continue like nothing. Even as the High Court judgment that allowed other candidates, than NASA Raila Odinga on the ballot. This seems to be a problem for the IEBC, who has even only him on their IEBC Portal or RTS system. That has even shown in a IEBC Internal Memo from yesterday, that all transmitted results will be delivered by IEBC to Jubilee and not to other candidates. Clearly, the Jubilee have trouble with rigging their second election within months in their favor. The whole reason for why the NASA are demonstrating in the first place.
That NASA are trying their best to make sure the society, the republic in general are ready for a credible elections. Free and Fair Elections, not elections made for rigging for any party. That seems to be the agenda for the Jubilee. The reason why Kenyatta has attacked Odinga, Supreme Court and anyone else questioning him and the IEBC. Therefore, this sort of statement from the President shows his demeaning character, yet again.
NASA has pulled out and decided to demonstrate, because the state are in total control of Jubilee. Also, the state and the ruling party has control of the Parliament. So it is not like the NASA can have any power to make changes there. Thirdly, the defense of the IEBC has been proven, also by the Jubilee Secretariat, it is not a rumor, but been stated on occasion. So it is not like you the incumbent have been trying to make sure the elections are credible or free and fair. After the sort of nullification, if you believed your we’re a just contender. You would have fixed and amended the process and the transmission of results. Clearly, that has not been important to you and your party. That is why you are blaming Odinga and the demonstrations.
That you cannot see it and is out of touch. President Kenyatta, you must be most sorry character and bitter man of Kenya. Since even a non-candidate for the presidency is your punching bag. Not your supposed achievements or pledges worth noticing in the coming term. Also, not to mention any of the candidates running for the 26th October, that is supposed to be on the ballot.
President Kenyatta and his party, better settle down and act within reason. I know its a lot to ask from you. But if your orders to the CS Matiangi and others would keep the demonstrations peaceful. If they wouldn’t attack and pursuit the demonstrators, use live-bullets, tear-gas and all other methods of silencing the Anti-IEBC demonstrations. Clearly, if they we’re done with peace and calm, the demonstrators wouldn’t fear the Police or the authorities.
It is time for Kenyatta to act within reason and with some common sense. I know it asking a lot of him, but if he do. Then this might be a gentle ride. The demonstrations will occur everyday next week. The growing numbers on the streets shows the urgency and the organization behind it. The Jubilee will not like it and will use more brutality and blame it on them. Just like little children blame it on their friend for losing a game. It was either the ball was to hard or the shoes was not tight. If not it was cheating. The same way of delivery will be from Jubilee. Just wait, this words today from Kenyatta is a token in the possible nonsense coming from the incumbent leader. Who was rigged to win in August and hope for the same in October.
Let’s see where their unknown journey takes us. Peace.

Well, so the day has come the Thirdway Alliance has sold its soul to be on the ballot. The ones so ethical and wishing for political reform. Have now after National Super Alliance (NASA) pullout of the race become to campaign and even gotten M-PESA Paybill as well. That Ekuru Aukot has changed his stance, proves that he is just into politics for personal gains. He is not a politician for his constituency or any ideology, because all of that was traded away within days of the pull-out of Raila Odinga and Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka. Even days after Kenya Gazette 13th October 2017 and IEBC Internal Memo who proclaim the RTS system of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. All of this is all fitting the Jubilee Party and keeping everything like it was in August 2017. Therefore, that Aukot campaigns and spreads the message like he proves that he turned Tuko Pamoja!
Aukot is now together with the Jubilee, with incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy William Ruto. He is now ganging up with them to try to legitimize the whole Fresh Presidential Election of 26th October. Even if he just merely campaign for 14 days and Kenyatta has been running around like godfather since 1st September 2017. So, the unfair campaigning time should be worrying alone, also that the Gazetted changes just comes within 13 days before the polls. So the whole elections should be questioned by that alone. Also all the revealing information in the Internal Memos proves how the IEBC hope to get things done in similar fashion of August. Therefore, the results will all be cooked in favor of Kenyatta anyway.
Still, Aukot are running around trying to campaign like this is for real. Like this election really matters. Like he is David against Goliath. Well, you cannot even carry a rock or even find a sling to hit Kenyatta at this Aukot. Your a pawn and part of you knows this. Thirdway had as much relevance as it did in the August election, because it was a two-way race, and the Thirdway was nearly no-way for most. So it needs a miracle of epic proportions so that Mount Kenya get melted into beach-sand within days. If that don’t happen, then there will still be victor Kenyatta at the 26th October. That is because the whole system and the whole elections are built around that fact. In addition, that is the whole reason for why Odinga pulled-out and wants to demonstrate for more reforms.
So, Aukot has now the capacity of a giant and running around like king. Even when he knows, that he had less supporters in August, than Uchumi has products in their shops. That is insane, he is nowhere near popular or having the savvy ways of promising hope for Kenyans. Instead, he is just spreading the message of Jubilee: “We are together” or Tuko Pamoja. He is just together with Jubille, making sure Kenyatta get legitimacy of his second term and elections. Instead of standing on the barricades for reforms of the Electoral Body and positive changes within IEBC.
Aukot, had no traction in August and will have as much now in October. He is a useful piece of fool for the Jubilee. Someone that they can trade-off and pay a little, so he can be there when the Jubilee needed. And when the elections are over, he will go back into oblivion. Peace.

The Republic of Ireland Parliament has started their works and their initial searching for solutions Post-Brexit. This September Draft report from the Irish Parliament is more structured and more explained than any of the ones offered the public from the United Kingdom counterparts. The Irish government clearly are open within their troubles and possible hurdles in the new state between Republic of Ireland as a Member State in the European Union and United Kingdom on the outside. This will significantly change the prospects of trade, movements of goods and direct costumes operations within Ireland and in the United Kingdom. The Brexit agreement between the EU and UK will be vital to the borders and trade between the neighbor states.
Out of the report, this is for me, the vital quotes, that significantly says what it means for both parties. They are really explaining clearly the impact and being direct in the problems that are coming with Brexit. Something certainly the British should look into, if they wants to have good trade and movement of goods to and from Ireland. This will not happen as it is done today, since the United Kingdom will need new regulations and new sorts of security checks. Since they are not a member state and in the new system need to follow other protocols of movement than of today.
Brexit implication:
“There are two distinct processes in the e-manifest procedure, depending on whether the goods are non-union or union goods. Currently goods coming from the UK are union goods and, while a manifest is required for the enforcement of national prohibitions and restrictions, there are no systematic controls imposed on these goods. However, post Brexit these goods will be non-union goods and as a result the manifest will be fully processed and the goods in question will not be released until all customs formalities have been completed” (Oireacthas, P: 8, 2017).
Goods to the UK:
“Goods to be exported to the UK will need to be presented to customs at the customs office of exit11 and be made available for examination if required. This extra layer of formalities for movements that are currently intra-union movements will not only place a considerable administrative burden on traders it will also have a negative impact on trade flows and delay the release of goods” (Oireacthas, P: 10, 2017).
Goods passing through UK:
“Under transit, it is possible for goods to proceed directly to an inland location before customs formalities need to be completed. Where a trader wishes to move goods arriving from or through the UK directly to their premises they will need to be approved as an authorised consignee and also have the appropriate premises approved as a Temporary Storage facility as the goods will have the status of non-union goods. Where traders are not approved as authorised consignees then those goods declared for the transit procedure would be required to be presented at the declared customs office of destination for control purposes and in order to end the transit procedure. This in effect would require that current Revenue offices not assigned the function of a customs office of destination in NCTS would need to be assigned that status and be in a position to provide suitable examination facilities where necessary controls can be performed. Providing suitable facilities and associated human resources may prove difficult for Revenue” (Oireacthas, P: 13-14, 2017).
If this isn’t seen as important for the British, the United Kingdom and their possible trading operations with Ireland and the whole European Union. Than they better come up with solutions. If not they have to trade Yorkshire Tea with themselves and Tetley can be sold just within the Kingdom. Since it will be expensive with routine checks and costumes arrangements to fix the new hurdles for people who orders their stocks into their shops. They rather pick up another brand with similar flavor of their tea, than ordering the famous British tea suppliers. Why take Lipton, when you can order a French Tea without any problems and time consuming costumes and tax-operation. This is what that can appear, as well as sudden extra time in storage and other new need of expenses. That will mean the costumers will have to pay the extra prices for the same product, as well as pay for the added time it takes before the products hit the market.
This is just between Ireland and the United Kingdom. If you we’re too consider all member states of the Union, you know the issue becomes more dire for the United Kingdom. That these issues will hit their trading partners, the producers and the ones that produced and exported products for decades. Will be hit or have to become more expensive abroad, this may even make the consumers in outside markets pick other products than the British. Why pay more for British, when the French has a similar tasting product? Why buy an extra expensive British Cheese, when the Belgian one taste as good?
So if the Costumes and added taxes between UK and EU Members States grows, that will make the products less worth as it will be more luxurious and less of common product in the shelves. Also, that the time consuming import together with the cost of transit, manifests and checks of the products. Will also hurt the bottom-line and the profitability of imports from British producers. This should worry all producers and factory made product-lines that is made for exports. The Irish government has clearly outlined the issues and are striking factors for simple movement of goods between the states. It might not become so hard, but the possibility is still there. Peace.

14th October 2017, Oslo
Dear Sirs!
President Uhuru Kenyatta, Vice President William Ruto, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett and Acting Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i. I have to write to you all, because this has to stop. Is this how you will make sure you have blood on your hands?
It is okay, that all of you have no respect for the Constitution or the right to assembly. That we know already, because keeping power for yourself is more important than justice itself. This is proven by actions and by your words against the Supreme Court. So, I am not surprised that you have issues with the law or complying with the laws. But somewhere it has to stop. That point has come now!
For every single hurt, for every single person were hospitalized and each death is on your watch. It is on your clock and your legacy. This is not the opposition fault for demonstrating. That is the only thing they have to show the public strength and to stop you from ceasing more control. The National Assembly and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) are filled with your men and woman, who works for your projects. Therefore, the NASA has to demonstrate, even when you are banning it. Even when you can’t, because you cannot stifle and suspend the Constitution. Good luck with doing that, then you the Jubilee Party are opening the gates for Anarchy. Do you want that instead?
Let’s be clear, the innocent is the ones that dies in the streets, the ones who chants for reforms and for possible change. From change of looting of state reserves and businesses. That the different cartels will loose power and the rampant government corruption will cease. This the reasons for why they are in the streets. Not only because of the ballots are not respected, but because the Jubilee Administration is out of touch and forgotten the struggles of the common people. The expenses and values of life is nearly extinct under you. Therefore, within hours you got rid of Joseph Nkaissery and you hired Fred Matiangi. Can you do that with others too if needed be?
I am worried for the lives of the demonstrators, of the civilians, since we have seen in the past how vicious your attacks on their rights and their possible ways of showing dissatisfaction with the state. You as responsible should be worried of the dead, of the ones hurt and the ones hospitalized are happening because of you. You are the reason for this, all of your orders and leadership is behind this police brutality.
This Police Brutality has to stop. Has to cease. It has to be gone. You cannot act like this to your citizens, you should make sure thieves get caught, but not destroy innocent people’s lives. Because they are not on your side. Is that what your legacy is worth? The blood is on your hands, do feel the stains? You should! This is something you cannot wash away, the innocent lives is for the cause of simple reforms and your pride is overshadowing it.
You should think about it, is it worth it, to be the sole cause for the demise of innocent citizens. Is it worth it? Is this how you will be remembered? That for the cause of staying in power, you are the cause of people losing their lives in demonstrations against the fraudulent electoral process. Peace.
