Nairobi County: #WeThePeople – “RE: Tax Boycott by Mathare Residents” (02.11.2017)



















WFP is ramping up emergency assistance there, planning to reach 500,000 of the most vulnerable by end-December, and many more early next year.
KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of Congo, October 31, 2017 – A humanitarian catastrophe is looming in the conflict-ravaged south-central Greater Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the head of the United Nations World Food Programme warned yesterday as he wrapped up a four-day mission to the central African country that included a visit to Kasai. Some 3.2 million people in the region are severely food insecure, struggling to feed themselves and in need of assistance.
“As many as 700,000 babies and children could starve in Kasai in the next few months unless enough nutritious food reaches them quickly”, David Beasley said. “We need access to those children, and we need money – urgently.”
Kasai’s traditionally high rates of malnutrition were pushed higher following the eruption last year of inter-ethnic violence characterised by large-scale killing, the wholesale destruction of villages and crops, and the targeting of hospitals, clinics and schools. The region now accounts for more than 40 percent of the DRC’s 7.7 million severely food insecure.
WFP is ramping up emergency assistance there, planning to reach 500,000 of the most vulnerable by end-December, and many more early next year. Dozens more staff are being deployed, an additional 80 off-road trucks are being brought in to deliver food to remote areas, and the WFP-run United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS), presently flying aid supplies and aid workers to seven locations in the region, is being expanded.
But WFP’s emergency operation, launched in August, has so far been financed by internal borrowings, and only one percent of the US$135 million required through mid-2018 has been secured from the international community.
While the violence in Kasai has diminished in recent weeks, banditry and extortion are commonplace. Moreover, in a region the size of Germany with multiple active militias and a road network that is largely impassable during the September-December rainy season, humanitarian access is set to remain a challenge.
WFP’s work in eastern North Kivu province, also witnessed by Beasley, is likewise constrained by access challenges and limited funding. Just 250,000 of the province’s one million displaced people – victims of two decades of conflict – are receiving assistance, and only half rations.
Much of DRC’s population is dependent on subsistence farming, and competition for land is often at the heart of its violence. Many conflict-displaced families who had returned to their villages in North Kivu and Kasai told Beasley they could not resume working their fields, such was their fear still of being attacked.
“I have met too many women and children whose lives have been reduced to a desperate struggle for survival”, Beasley said. “In a land so rich in resources, that’s heart-breaking. And it’s unacceptable.”
Beasley acknowledged donor concerns about limited return on investments in a better future for the Congolese people, noting that some governments have threatened to redirect such funding to countries where they say it will have more impact.
“I hear those concerns”, Beasley said. “But let’s not hold innocent women and children responsible for the failings of others.”
“What the brave people I met over the last few days want most of all is peace – peace to be able to grow their own food, to rebuild their lives and to build a brighter tomorrow for their children. It’s a simple, powerful message, and I have conveyed it to President Kabila, urging that he do his part to bring about much-needed change.”

“99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one
If you’re havin’ girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one – hit me!
99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one
If you’re havin’ girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one” (Jay Z – ‘99 Problems’ of the Black Album, 2003).
Well, the day finally came, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) needed 4 days to count and rig the numbers to give the President some-sort of legitimacy. Even if the whole charade and the whole process is questionable. Nothing that Chairman Wafula Chebukati has done in October has been trustworthy, neither has any of the updates and counting of the votes. As well, as the turnout saga has been insane. There is nothing but 99 problems, but the turnout was one.
Uhuru Kenyatta, if he ordered it this way, he is a special kind of stupid. If he ordered it to be this way and to get this sort of a result. Than he is one of the 99 problems the IEBC had before and after the polls of 26th October. If you believe or as naive as you think this victory is credible. Then you are blind my friend. Just look at all the statements and official tweets inside the IEBC and you see their issues. The 26th October Election, just like the 8th August Election, should be nullified. The numbers are not trustworthy for the simple matter of the excessive boycott from the public. Therefore, the amount of voters of Kenyatta is insane.
So when Kenyatta proclaims this today:
“Fellow Kenyans, Here is the truth as recorded in our books. On August 8th, 15million Kenyans came out to vote. Of these 8.4 million Kenyans voted for me. On October 26th, 90% of the same voters came out to support my Bid. This was a Re-Validation of their General Will. A Statement of their National Intent in support of Jubilee as their government of choice. And all of this was done within the confines of the Rule of Law, and our Constitutional imperatives. For those who voted for Jubilee by way of Re-validating our August 8th victory, I thank you. Now we can begin the process of re-imagining our nationhood. But as we do so I must remind you of my commitment to the constitutional path and the Rule of Law. Put differently, my victory today is likely to be subjected to a constitutional test through the courts. And as I have demonstrated repeatedly, I will submit to this constitutional path no matter its outcomes” (Uhuru Kenyatta at Bomas after the Announcement, 30.10.2017).
You know something is wrong. The 99 problems will come to haunt this administration and continue to pursuit of justice after this abysmal affair. The election was a day for the history books, because the public showed their disregard of the IEBC and of Kenyatta. They showed their courage and will of intent of indifference. To not validate the Jubilee and Kenyatta with this Fresh Presidential Election.
The miracles is the numbers of the IEBC and how they have put them together. As they haven’t been put together in a grand way. That President Kenyatta and the IEBC are deluded is proven. That they are proclaiming that he got 98,26 % and 7,483,895 votes. All of that is a giant basket case to believe, when the KIEMS only registered 3,5 million voters. Therefore, that the President are getting over 7 million votes is like Jesus walking on water. How come a brother get double the total amounts of registered voters in their electronic system?
Let’s be clear, Kenyatta hasn’t won anything other than fictional election. He might be announced by the so-called official electoral body IEBC, but the public didn’t vote him in. The public didn’t offer him credit or give him their vote so he could represent them. The ones that is representing him is fictional numbers and pre-ticket ballot, ghosts and bots who was put on the Declaration Forms. Kenyatta should thread the waters carefully, since he is illegitimate and isn’t leading the republic in a sound way.
Kenyatta should think very well about how he wishes to end. Because this 26th October elections are not over. The aftermath is just beginning. If you thought the days in between the polls and today was hectic. The coming days will be too, as the petitions and the court cases will come in. As well as the Police and Army has to answer for their killings in NASA Strongholds. There aren’t justice to just silence that. The Jubilee Party cannot run away from how they have segregated the republic.
This is not a victory for Kenyatta, but what awaits the President is 99 problems, but let’s hope the bitch ain’t one! Peace.
