Kenya. Thirway Press Release on the Current State of the Nation (15.09.2017)











The Jubilee Party are clearing changing their tune from 2016, when they was bravely saying the CORD or now National Super Alliance (NASA) was unlawful with their disregard of the law with their demonstration. So, that the Jubilee are now targeting Court Justice David Maraga, proves the ruling regime is cunning and not caring about their legacy.
Since on the 1st June 2016, the then President Kenyatta said this:
“It is particularly saddening that those who were at the front in supporting the enactment of the Constitution are now turning against the same laws” (…) “We must be a nation that respects and follows the rule of law” (Kenyatta – ‘Be wary of selfish leaders, President Kenyatta cautions Kenyans’ 01.06.2016).
So why does the CORD/NASA has to follow the rule of law, but when the laws apply to Jubilee, they have to get rid of the Court Justices? They are now this September having campaigns to make damage of the reputation of Maraga. The man behind the team that nullified the Presidential Election of August 2017. This has clearly hurt the Jubilee Alliance Party, therefore, they are attacking the ones who did it.
Jubilee are hypocrites, who in power tells the opposition to follow the law. But the moment it hit the fan, they are attacking it harder and wider than what the Opposition did. The opposition went to the streets to change the IEBC and the leadership after Chicken Gate. It’s like the corrupt leadership of IEBC wasn’t an issue and is still not an issue. If the Jubilee cared about governance and transparency, they wouldn’t attack the courts and judges who did their job. But they would challenge and reform IEBC, not save it and try to do the same as they did in August.
That is what the Jubilee are doing, they are saving the leadership and trying to spin-it in favor of them. As the days to October get’s closer. Instead of actually making a difference. They are attacking the CJ Maraga, because they don’t know better. They doesn’t care about rule of law, only about their own power and control. The Jubilee Party wants to control it all and take the power by all means. So the Jubilee are not respecting the Courts and their mandate. As they are going to war against Maraga.
It is sad to see the levels of disrespect, the levels of unbound judgment of the judges. They should respect the Courts. But they don’t when they want to Maraga to lose face in their campaign. It is insane and sad. The Madness should stop, the crazy train should leave Mombasa and not come back after a party on the beach. It is time to eat a chapati and chill. This sort of act is not presidential, this is not what to expect of a party of incumbent. The attack on Maraga is childish and not respecting the Courts, the laws or understanding the Constitution. The petition should be dismissed as the nonsense it is. It is a witch-hunt, without a witch! Peace.










The number of displaced people living in the UNMISS Protection of Civilians (POC) site has fallen from 38,000 to 32,500 over the last two months.
JUBA, South Sudan, September 13, 2017 – The return of displaced people to their homes in Wau in north-western South Sudan could provide a “model” for other parts of the country, the Head of the UN Peacekeeping Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) has said.
David Shearer, who is also the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, was speaking on a visit to Wau town.
The number of displaced people living in the UNMISS Protection of Civilians (POC) site has fallen from 38,000 to 32,500 over the last two months. Many of those people have returned home to cultivate their land.
“The security situation has improved in recent weeks,” Mr Shearer said. “I am pleased to see that the local authorities, the police and National Security have worked to improve the security environment.”
David Shearer met with the Wau Governor and security officials about cooperation with the UN, humanitarian agencies and importantly the displaced people themselves, to create the enabling conditions to assist people to leave the camps and go home.
“This collaboration could represent a new model for the return of displaced people,” he said.
“It is important that people return to their homes voluntarily,” Mr Shearer added, “and for that to happen they need to feel safe and confident about their future.”
UNMISS has recommended launching night peacekeeping patrols to residential neighbourhoods to provide additional security and boost confidence, a proposal that the State authorities are considering.
“UNMISS and our humanitarian partners both have a role to play in the eventual return of displaced people,” added Mr Shearer. “UNMISS can help by providing a greater sense of security and humanitarian agencies can offer more services outside the protection camps so those people will have more incentives to leave and restart their lives at home.”
In April this year the alleged ambush and killing of a government SPLA General in Wau led to clashes in the town resulting in the deaths of around 30 civilians.
The Special Representative visited the neighbourhood of Lokoloko on the outskirts of Wau where some residents have returned to their houses and started growing food on a small scale.
