Kenya: PNU Statement on switching allegiance, again! (12.09.2017)

Kenya’s most bitter-man Kenyatta, will Impeach Odinga for possible win in the Fresh Elections!

The Head of State said he was confident he would win the October 17 repeat poll but pointed out that even if the opposition leader were to be elected, he would not be able to conduct government affairs as Jubilee has the majority and it would easily impeach him. “Even when elected, he would be removed within two or three months,” said the President” (Uhuru Kenyatta, 11.09.2017).

Uhuru Kenyatta today went in hard, because his faith in his party fellow in the Parliament. President Kenyatta are saying, if National Super Alliance (NASA) candidate Raila Odinga winning on the 17th October of 2017. The Jubilee Party plans to use their power in Parliament to Impeach the President. But is that on the grounds of winning? If so shouldn’t himself been so, for all the grand-corruption cases during his tenure?

President Kenyatta should be more careful, as he has appointed and organized the institutions, only the Supreme Court that has defied him. Though just followed the Constitution and the Electoral Codes, that the civil servants of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) did not care for in August as they announced Kenyatta, the incumbent for another term.

Clearly, he now has the nerves to use the National Assembly on for political gains, not that its surprising, knowing the growth of his business while in power and also the scandals that has insulted the Kenyan people. So Kenyatta should focus on winning the Fresh Election properly and make sure the IEBC acts accordingly. Still, that has not been the issue for the Jubilee, which is rare. Since, if the IEBC had done them wrong in the August Election, even if they announced them. But they didn’t work properly or following the code.

President Uhuru Kenyatta should think twice and find his solutions to actually win this election. Not make sure the IEBC tries to rig him in again. That has been done and sufficiently been broadcast far and wide. The electoral malpractice was deep, it was initiated and done so the IEBC Portal would make the results believable, even if there wasn’t any declarations forms from the polling stations. Even voters data sufficient for the victory of Kenyatta.

Kenyatta wanted to be the computer generated President. He didn’t think he needed the will of the people, he thought the rigging would be fine and dandy. So, that he wants to impeach someone for winning. It show how little of a man he is and belittling of the Kenyan people. The ones voting for NASA should be offended by this and vote like crazy in October, and against Kenyatta as he violate and wants to violate the possible choice who was so close to lose a rigged election in August. This is not in the eyes of Kenyatta and he doesn’t care, because he wants power by any means. Peace.

IEBC Retreat in Naivasha (11.09.2017)

DP Ruto claims the IEBC did some mistakes, but still says SCOK are run by Con-Men; Instead of reforming the IEBC!

On the 9th September of 2017, this at Uhuru Park in Nairobi. The rally that the Jubilee Party hold today. The Fresh Elections that is happening the 17th October 2017 after the Supreme Court ruling that annulled the Presidential Election on the 8th August. Since then, the Jubilee Party and their cronies has attacked the Supreme Court. They have gone after the judges and now they are turning to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), I would have considered that the first option. Since they we’re the ones rigging the elections and counting of the ballots. Still, the Deputy President are still blaming the Supreme Court. Just take a look!

Deputy President William Ruto said today: “You cannot sacrifice the will of Kenyans at the altar of the mistakes of IEBC” (Kenya Citizen TV, 09.09.2017). The supreme Court was used by conmen. They conspired through treachery, conmanship and deceit to overturn the will of 15 million Kenyans. We are watching you my friends” Ruto said while addressing the crowd. “You should come to your senses and apologise for this great evil you have done unto Kenyan,” Ruto further stated” (Osoro, 2017).

That Jubilee Party and DP Ruto are blaming con-men for involvement in the ruling. While he is also blaming weakly the IEBC. That they are to blame for the second elections this year. Since the Court actually nullified them. They used the tricks to steal from 15 millions Kenyans. It is insane and because of them, Jubilee and Ruto are now watching them!

Just like the Ruto hasn’t come with enough threats towards Supreme Court and now the IEBC. It’s like they are blaming someone else, instead of looking into the issues of the IEBC. Not like the Jubilee Party, Kenyatta and Ruto want to make the changes within the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), so that the Electoral Malpractice and Computer Manipulated Results. All of this should be an issue for Jubilee. Ruto and Kenyatta should respect the Court and their ruling. But they don’t! They attack them and call them “thugs” and now “con-men”!

DP Ruto should be concerned about the IEBC External Servers, the IEBC Portal and the lack of transparency considering the Declaration Forms from the Polling Stations. Combined with the IEBC Secretariat that continues to play with the public and unravel what went on before and during the 8th August polls for the Presidency. IEBC has crossed the Electoral Codes and breached them. Therefore, DP Ruto should step-up and change the practices. Ruto should work bipartisan with NASA to make sure people trust the IEBC. This wasn’t mere defaults and mistakes. The elections done and the counting, crossing of the will of the Kenyans during the recent election. As their ballots was used as tool to make sure Jubilee got the power, but not validate them in the announcing of the results.

DP Ruto, you should fixate on the Electoral Malpractices, instead of calling the courts ruled by con-men. Instead, Jubilee and Ruto should work to make sure people trust the IEBC and Supreme Court. Not making them look badder. Not try to defend IEBC and say it was mere mistakes. It was malpractice and to make sure the cronies hired their bosses who appointed them. Supreme Court did their duty and followed the law. Something IEBC should do as well. Jubilee should make sure the Electoral Codes and Systems are trustworthy.

That is lacking… lackluster and not really happening, because the status quo is benefiting Ruto and Jubilee. Peace.

Kenya: NCIC and UWIANO Platform for Peace Condemns Political Intolerance (08.09.2017)

Safaricom plays petty politics by issuing obstacles for NASA fundraising over their M-PESA Paybill!

Bob Collymore and Safaricom are going for the National Super Alliance (NASA), this is not a shock, but should been seen as an expected move. Since the letter dated to 5th September from Safaricom to NASA and Orange Democratic Movement is named “Usage of M-Pesa Paybill – 991444”. This is stating the affairs between the company and just have to appear as the Fresh Elections are going.

Sort of moves like this is to stifle the competition. Safaricom has in past been linked with the ruling regime and the incumbent. They have even avoided giving evidence in cases that might indict and prosecute fellow Jubilee members. That has occurred in the recent years. So that they are trying to salvage the funds and stop the fundraising would not surprise me either.

We refer to the M-PESA Paybill that you applied for in June 2017 to facilitate the raising of funds for the Presidential campaign. We note that the usage of the Paybill has now changed and the same is now being used for raising funds to adopt polling stations. This is contrary to the purpose for the Paybill that you indicated when applying for the Paybill. We therefore request that you provided us with written confirmation on the purpose of the Paybill and when the fundraising is ending” (Safaricom Limited, John Muchiri, 05.09.2017).

The Paybill which the NASA Party M-PESA Paybill is campaign contributions, as the party and coalition needs funds for the campaign that is lasting to 17th October 2017. This because the contributions and the support for the coalition is necessary. The Paybill are a perfect example of public support of NASA. Since the Mobile Money popularity and the way people are used to transfer money. Therefore, if the Safaricom Limited Compay are suspending the account and the Paybill. It will really hurt the NASA campaign. Clearly, they would do so to short-change the cash-funds the NASA. This all would be to help the cause of incumbent Kenyatta. Nothing else. But Collymore are connected with the Jubilee.

So it wouldn’t be surprising if Safaricom eventually did so. The Jubilee and Safaricom has worked together in the past and certainly wants to do so in the future. Odinga, ODM and NASA coalition clearly needs to work even close with the Telecom Company, but they should be fair. Since Safaricom knows about the Fresh Elections and would already know the usage of the funds raised. It is insane to say otherwise. This is political power-game by the company, who has not reissued any obstacles for Jubilee. So we know their loyalty. Peace.

Yet another Future Partnership report on Brexit: The UK Gov. wants similar research collaboration as of today!

The newest report on Research Collaboration between United Kingdom and the European Union, as the withdrawal from the EU will lead to chances in science and research in the United Kingdom. The Tories Government are still within the wishful thinking. Their paradigm is clearly the softest of the soft Brexits. So soft, that butter isn’t soft enough.

Brexit appeal must really be dwindling since most of the Future Partnership Papers has been softball and easy road into withdrawal. The EU will clearly make this harder and more expensive. United Kingdom government wants clearly more of the same. It is expected to be dialogue and negotiations between the partners. Here is some parts of the Reports!

It is the UK’s ambition to build on its uniquely close relationship with the EU, so that collaboration on science and innovation is not only maintained, but strengthened. Therefore, as part of the new, deep and special partnership, the UK will seek an ambitious science and innovation agreement with the EU that will support and promote science and innovation across Europe both now and in the future” (HM Government, P: 7, 2017).

EU programmes have helped foster European scientific collaboration and the UK has been a key contributor to their success. The UK remains a full member of the EU and will be subject to all rights and obligations set out in the Treaties and under EU law, including the principle of sincere cooperation, until it leaves the EU. In that context, and looking ahead to a strong future relationship, both the UK and the European Commission have been clear that they expect the fair treatment of UK researchers and firms. The UK and EU should also work together to provide continuity of collaborative relationships” (HM Government, P: 9, 2017).

The Commission is planning a European Defence Research Programme in the next Multiannual Financial Framework, which is expected to invest €500 million per year in industry and academia from participating countries. To prepare for this, a three-year Action was launched in 2017 and the UK has been instrumental in defining its work programme. The UK would welcome dialogue with the EU and its Member States on the future of this programme and terms for non-EU involvement, noting that Norway will have third-party association in this preparatory phase” (HM Government, P: 13, 2017).

The UK wants to continue playing a major role in creating a brighter future for all European citizens by strengthening collaboration with European partners in science and innovation” (…) “To this end, the UK will seek to agree a far-reaching science and innovation agreement with the EU that establishes a framework for future collaboration. There are a range of existing precedents for collaboration that the UK and the EU can build on, but our uniquely close relationship means there may be merit in designing a more ambitious agreement. The UK hopes to have a full and open discussion with the EU about all of these options as part of the negotiations on our future partnership” (HM Government, P: 16, 2017).

I am not surprised by this Future Partnership Report, it is one of many now. The ones dropped in August was similar, but different topics. United Kingdom wants all of the options on the table and still want close relationship, but the UK will be a non-Member-State. They are focusing on the special bond between the Norwegian and the EU, but that means the UK must work hard to get that relationship. Since the EU will clearly not just give way to UK. Though, the Future Papers are lots of dreams.

So another daydream is done, Brexit Minister David Davis and others in the Tories Government, surely needs help and also should know that EU will not trade-off anything easy. Brexit will not be easy and their papers prove it. As they are having extra-terrestrial and alien belief about their negotiations and their deal-making with the EU. Peace.
