Kenya: Petition for the removal of Supreme Court Judges & The Justice Service Commission (26.02.2018)



















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.

Again, the investor and mineral licensing powerhouse in the Democratic Republic Congo, Dan Gertler is even more under fire after the revelations of his illicit trade during the recent years. Now, the formula and the amount of cash he gets from the foreign mineral extraction companies are paying for their passage to him. This as the deals between Getler and Kinshasa authorities are left in the dark. Whatever deal they have, certainly Getler is earning fortunes without doing more, than being connected to the Joseph Kabila government.
This report shows important facts and also bring certainties of the assumed fortunes made by Gertler, even as he is sanctioned and his corporations. Clearly, the mineral extraction is profitable in the midst of insecurity and civilian despair in the republic. While the businesses and the affiliates are eating, the public are fleeing militias and the army itself. The state is not serving the public, but the companies and the persons who has secret deals with the government. It is vicious and the international community let them, even as it is sanctioned, the acts are still appearing and has the ability to earn on it.
“Based on a number of assumptions, Resource Matters estimates the royalties to the Gertler-affiliated companies can be expected to amount to about $110 million for 2018 and nearly $100 million for 2019. This means that Gertler risks losing about $270,000 in revenue from Glencore’s operations per day. That is nearly twice as much as the world’s best paid soccer player, Lionel Messi, makes at Barcelona” (Resource Matters, P: 6, 2018).
“Glencore therefore has to balance the risk of increased pressure in Congo versus the risk of ending up on the U.S. sanctions list. This means that the royalty payments constitute a significant risk, whether they stop or continue. Investors should be able to know how Glencore will deal with this going forward. U.K anti-corruption organization Global Witness has repeatedly lamented the opacity of Glencore’s royalty payments to Gertler’s companies and called for better disclosure” (Resource Matters, P: 8, 2018).
“This conclusion was somewhat hasty. Gertler’s gold companies do not explicitly feature on the sanctions list, but that in itself does not matter. Under the U.S. Treasury’s so-called 50%-rule, any company owned at least 50% by a sanctioned entity is considered, per se, sanctioned because it is deemed to be “blocked property” of the sanctioned person. Both Moku Goldmines and Société Minière de Moku-Beverendi are at least 50% owned by Fleurette, a sanctioned entity, and should be considered sanctioned, too. In addition, the fact that no payments are made to Gertler does not shield Randgold from the risk of being sanctioned. The U.S. Treasury could qualify Randgold’s exploration activities at Moku-Beverendi as ‘material support’ to a sanctioned entity and impose sanctions on Randgold” (Resource Matters, P: 9, 2018).
Gertler might be in hot-water and the Kabila government might have decisions to make concerning their alliance. Still, the trades and contracts has been made, if the Kabila government suspend and revoke it, they might have to pay a settlement. While wait for a new company or middle-man to secure a grand deal for the licensing. We can question if the loyalty will be there, as long as the sanctions might hit the companies who works with Gertler. Because, they do not want to lose the profitable and secure delivery of the cobalt and other minerals in the Republic.
Surely, Getler don’t want to miss his winning ways and his double earnings of Messi. He want it and doesn’t care about how. Getler just continue to score and get contracts, which makes his giant fortune. It is by the blessing of his connections in Kinshasa. Peace.
