Kenya: Council of Governors (CoG) – Re: Impending Shutdown Occasioned by Lack of Resources (16.09.2020)

Opinion: I don’t see what’s wrong with Ng’eno’s statement [and only see that he hit the pride of the President]

You are not Kenya and Kenya is nor Kenyatta’s or Mama Ngina’s land. This land belongs to 47 million Kenyans, you cannot run it as you wish, Moi and Kibaki finished their terms and left, you should do the same next year when the time comes” Johana Ng’eno MP (07.09.2020).

I didn’t know that President Uhuru Kenyatta was a deity and transcendent between the holy land and the mortal world. Kenyatta must be immortal and cannot be offended. The ground that the President walks on has to be praised. You cannot state anything against him… because, if you do? You will be in trouble like the MP.

Ng’eno MP is even expelled by KANU, who has made a coalition with the Jubilee. This means the Jubilee is already working with Gideon Moi. Another honourable gentlemen from a dynasty. A man that Ng’eno mentioned in his statement. That is the father of Gideon and the former President. Nick Salat does this for political capital, but its very little to gain.

That the Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji and the National Police Service is issuing statements, but also charges on Ng’eno for this. Shows, that one family is more important than the freedom of expression. The Kenyatta’s are untouchable and the Moi family needs to salvaged too. Since, they are dismissing him for speaking ill of Uhuru.

There is certainly not Uhuru, neither is there are coherent Ubuntu. There is just a mess. A self-inflicted mess by the state. Yes, Ng’eno challenged the Kenyatta’s, but he didn’t say anything wrong. He just went after the ego of the President and his inner-family. It was brave of him to do so…

That is why Ng’eno MP is paying the price. If he had incited to violence and genocide. If he had used the means of what certain politicians did in the post-elections in 2008. Then I would have understood the backfiring means of the state. Alas, that wasn’t the case here.

He just hit the pride, the ego and the Kenyatta’s. This is misuse of power and restricting freedom of speech. They are taking away liberty to question their power and their office. He just wishing the President well, when he is done in office after his second term. That he can go back to his farms, milking cows and continue his businesses. Instead, of acting like he owns a Republic. When he represents it and is the Head of State. His not a royal king or even a kingpin.

The President and Jubilee should know better. KANU is just beneath itself dropping Ng’eno MP is messed up over this. The MP spoke the truth. Yes, he hit a nerve, but a man who has been in office since 2013 should manage to spoken to this way. Unless, his a kid with a hissy fit over not getting candy.

Uhuru and his family should manage this and much worse too. If they are this frail. What are you doing in office? Why are you even a head of state? Are you man enough to carry your own self? Do have carrying balls?

Because, I wonder if the President has the character and the ability to rule. When he cannot even get a wish of a kiss goodbye and being told that he doesn’t own the Republic. Are you that tiny?

That is weak tea and misuse of power. Kenyatta needs some help, he needs to grow up and understand his position. If he don’t, comedians, journalists and whatnot will soon be arrested for mocking him or even write a notice of punchline before they are revoked an opportunity to do their job. Peace.

Opinion: Ruto cannot runaway from the pay-offs he has gotten in office…

That Deputy President William Ruto tries to deflect and make himself a martyr is expected. As he wants to save his legacy and his future. He doesn’t want to fall and neither lose the option of reigning supreme when Kenyatta passes the mantle after his second term.

Ruto wants so badly to be a saint. He wants to be the pope and the high priest of society. Still, the man has more thieving, conniving and massive spin to be in power. Instead of policies and actual achievements. He is using PR plots and big crowds to cheer himself to sleep.

He has put up stone for ghost-projects. Launched meaningless enterprises and ensure government tenders been misused. Secured pay-offs and greased the wheels himself to brief-case companies and LLCs with no destination or plan to actually do anything. Other then benefiting himself and his cronies.

That is why the Tanga Tanga is loyal to him. He is paying them and ensuring their loyalty. It isn’t because Ruto is special, unique or have a character, which they have to follow. Neither does he have the stamina or the trust to keep these relations close. It is all about the Benjamin’s, all about the shillings and the profit motive.

That is why Ruto has now Hotels, Newspaper, land and houses. One house in Karen, Nairobi and a mansion with a artificial lake in Eldoret. That is the sort of man Ruto is. The former walking preacher, who nearly could afford shoes.

His been preaching, been a man of the trade. Gone from being corrupt in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to start his own, dissolve that into the Jubilee and now in his second term getting into questions.

All along, in all the years in office. It has been known how Ruto has operated. In the Harambee House Annex, there been schemes and plots of undertaking state funds. There been shady deals with kickbacks, envelopes and the tricks of the trade. Ruto knows this and has supported the game. It has been his game and with the office. He has felt safe. Untouchable even.

Ruto has an idea of what he has done. Ruto knows the game he has played over the years. Earned fortunes as a state official and high ranking official. His connections and his opportunities to do good has been there. Instead, he has been in it for one reason: enriching himself.

That is why he is defending himself like he does. Just putting dates and wanting people to look into backlogs. Instead, of looking now or elsewhere. Because, he knows his implicated. The man know he has done reckless deals to earn a fortune on the government dime. Taxpayers has been ripped off to pay ghosts, ninjas and the cartels.

He had no issues doing this, while he was ahead. At a point where he felt untouchable. No, he went full steam ahead. However, now he feels more alone. His closest ally has bailed on him and purged his comrades-in-action. The DP doesn’t have the significant support or ability like he used too.

The only reason why he hasn’t resigned or gone full gung-ho. Is that I’m sure his afraid what will happen when he does leave office. Because, he knows what he has done and how he has amassed the enormous wealth. The man knows this perfectly well. All of the Republic does, it is just a matter of time before his implicated and indicted for something.

He can defend himself, but that doesn’t make it untrue. A man couldn’t build four houses in Eldoret and a artificial lake without some sort of deals behind the scenes. His government salary cannot stretch that far. Combined with all of the other estates, businesses and so on. The man has been eating. He has been stealing and thieving. Used his office for self and not for the common good.

The proof is all there.. Ruto can lie about it, but that doesn’t make it true. It is just another lie. The spin cannot save this man. Then he has to repent and give up the ill gotten gains. Show some humility and character, two things that isn’t staple from this man. It is not in him.

He rather try to pull another con, then acting real for ones. Peace.

Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR): Katiba @ 10 : A Human Rights Scorecard (27.08.2020)

Opinion: ODM’s audit is only to buy time

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and unofficial Prime Minister Raila Odinga wants suddenly an audit of the COVID-19 Funds and stolen PPE equipment in the Republic. It is really evident that the ODM is doing favours for the state.

These statements are coming from the same guys and semi-government party, who claims to both opposition and a government party. Which is very evident by the recent moves. They have been crying out loud for arrests, demonstration and cried havoc over other scandals. Day-in and day-out.

This time they are just measly saying … let’s someone look into it and hope they spend time doing so. An inquiry and an audit will last until the next election or even after the polls. Kenyatta and Jubilee must be giddy.

Jubilee and the allies must feel relieved. The ODM is cleaning their house and their mess. The dirt is cleaned. They say there is a need for an audit. However, nothing specified and no talk of independent investigation. If it is an in-house investigation. Then, the smaller fish will be catched, while the big-fish will be released. They are the untouchables and the ones who are saved no matter what.

Odinga has made a living. ODM is now in the stretch of both angles, even if his close to be a Jubilee-KANU-ODM alliance, if there ever was one. The Jubilee have consolidated around Uhuru Kenyatta. He has distanced the DP and his TangaTanga. They are even crying out loud, the former known looters of the Republic.

Therefore, the whole elite and the ones associated is fine with the thieving. They are just buying time. Instead of direct investigations, indictments and charges on alleged crimes. They are crying for in-house audits, where a committee will look into it and buy the politicians time to bury the theft.

The audit is a fitting tool, where appointed commissioners and handy individuals can get a limited mandate and a scope. Where they possibly can find nothing or even deliver a result when its outdated. That is what usually happens.

This is why the call for a audit is buffoonery. It is playing bamboozle with the public. ODM knows this and Jubilee knows this. Odinga knows this and Kenyatta knows that too.

You can trick the public once, maybe twice, but three times. That is not happening. There been enough scandals without any consequences. This administration have several on their hands and no one has paid a price. An audit of this one will linger on for ages and will loose its steam before a bracelet is even procured.

So, while the stove is sizzling… the heat is on, the state and its allies shifts the show and side-track the conversation. Instead of actually getting a look at the culprits and the ones involved. Getting a committee and gazetted appointments. While the thieves moves on to another government tender, procurement scheme or funds to exploit. Peace.

Kenya: ANC – The Health Sector Funds Corrosive Scams (23.08.2020)

Opinion: I believe Matiang’i would like to be crowned king…

The Super CS Fred Matiang’i, the most trusted individual and Cabinet Secretary in the years of President Uhuru Kenyatta. He would prefer, if his the successor and rightful heir. This man is aiming for the throne and wants to be more than just a appointed Chief of Staff.

Matiang’i is the sort of man that denounce and talks ill of infidelity, but still have the ability to knock-up a student in a church-choir. That is the sort of fella he is. The CS might think we have forgotten about that, but we haven’t.

The CS might act holier than thou, but we know he isn’t. His just a power hungry individual. Who has gotten a lot of trust and pleasure in office. A man who is in high regard and is the point-guard of the Kenyatta years.

This man will never take blame, ever say his wrong or ever, ever take any consequences for his actions. The CS better say its the media, another MP or CS who haven’t done their job. Because, Freddie Boy doesn’t do mistakes, but know that you do.

Because of his role and his ways. He has shown that he acts like a untouchable. That he can do what he pleases and without any concern. The only thing that will happen is that he uses someone else as a punchball. That is really the only thing for him.

If you write something bad about it. Expect the blogger, radio host or media personality to be in hot-water. Expect to swim on land from Mombasa to Nairobi. There will no be peace gathering and talks. No, the prison cell will await you. You should honour the CS and not throw shade.

Matiang’i thinks his it. The CS thinks he got it all. The man, the magician and the lumberjack knocking on wood. That is who he is. The senior supervisor, the grandest of them all and the future of the Republic.

CS Matiang’i wants to rule over them all. He might not say it, but his actions says so. His demeanour and attitude says so. The man cannot walk away from it. He has been in the spotlight for so long. We have seen how he operate and conducts himself.

This man would crown himself king and be called his highness, if he could. He would do that in a heartbeat and wanted the glory from that day. The next eternal leader and the future prince of the afterlife. That is who he is. At least in his own mind.

Matiang’i is like this and been allowed to act like this. Because Kenyatta allows it and benefits from it. Having a man with a bigger ego than stars in Hollywood. I’m sure Freddie Boy only baths in bottled Evian water and eats only the green M&Ms.

Well, enough nonsense, but this man will do whatever and wants the royal seal. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. He got it in him and if people let him. The Wrath of Khan will not be missed. Peace.

Kenya: Where everything can get stolen … [by government officials and they can get away with it]

It doesn’t matter if there is unlawful practices with land-grabbing. If there is illegal procurements in the Counties. Funds goes missing. It doesn’t matter if one or two Eurobond scandals appear. Neither, if the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal happened twice. There is always some fishy non-existent corporations who needs a handout, who just happened to be owned by the elite and associates of the state.

This is just how things go. If there is procurement scandal within the Ministry of Health. Buying some phony units, which was supposed to mobile and easy access for the counties. These containers never came there. That isn’t an ancient scandal, but just mere years ago.

In all the years of Uhuru Kenyatta. There been open bazaar of greed. Where all cabinet secretaries, all departments and government enterprises have consistent of scandals and sudden loss of funds. There isn’t much space between or another get exposed. As the daily routine of skimming the state to enriching yourself. Is the sort of protocol for the high ranking officials.

Just like you can create false narratives to import maize and sugar. Hide them, import expensive maize from Mexico and call it a day. That is just what they do. Just like NYS scandal was to create phony companies to give handouts to loyal cadres.

So, when it happen that the news broke of stealing PPE, donations from Jack Ma and that it was sold in secret to Tanzania. You just know someone ate that money. In the middle of an pandemic. Someone still saw it fit to sell needed equipment. Saw the need to enrich themselves on necessary tools to battle the Coronavirus. That is the levels of thieving.

It is not strange that it happens. As they could hide UNGA and toy around the shortage. They could play the public a curse for sugar. The state could suddenly waste vast amounts of loaned funds in the Eurobond 1 and 2. They could create a white elephant with the Standard Gauge Railway and who knows, when it will make a honest profit.

That they stole and sold the donated PPE and COVID-19 equipment. Just show to what extent the officials and civil servants are used too. It is all “our turn to eat”. There is a self-serving appetite for a quick buck. Without consideration of the implications or the set-backs for doing so. It is not like gloves, face-masks and tests-kits are easily accessible for everyone. It costs and the short term gains will soon be spoilt. As the markets for these things aren’t slowing down until the pandemic is under control.

This just shows what sort of thieving there are in the state of Kenya. Everything is up for grabs. It is just about using your opportunity and find the perfect scheme. The state officials paying the right guys, give the sort of middle-men the thumbs up and then monies keep rolling in. Who cares at what cost and what aftermath. They enriched themselves, as people are struggling, the state lacks PPE and test-kits. But who cares, as long as the men of honour gets their well deserved pay-off.

The President knows this and is making his fortunes. The thieving is fine and dandy. He has let his cabinet secretaries and appointed committee leaders off the hook before. He will do it again. There is no permanent damage over this. It will be another scandal and others who are under fire. But he isn’t touched, even as all his minions are doing it and they allowed by him. If they wasn’t allowed, the authorities would be on their doors and be knocking.

Kenyatta knows, but he cannot hide. His allowing the theft and grand corruption. That is his legacy. Peace.

Opinion: Kalonzo is now running to nowhere

Today, Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) leader and the South Sudan Envoy. Are now apparently one of the leaders of a party saying his running for the 2022 Presidential Election.

Kalonzo doesn’t have the trust or the loyalty to anything. He has jumped ships all the time and follows the wind. Stephen isn’t a man who the public can trust. The man is so easily appointed by anyone.

That is why today’s statement to the public is only a breath of fresh air. Kalonzo isn’t shocking anyone though. This was bound to happen eventually. Not like he will be a Co-Principal in either the CORD or NASA. Both those coalitions are dead fish in the water. Not following the stream, not breathing and just floating on the top of the sea. That is what has happened to the opposition coalitions.

Now, we are in 2020 and its two years ahead of next elections. They are already busy scheming and planning for the 2022. The Fresh Presidential Elections and the double elections really undermined the likes of Kalonzo. It proven his value and his space.

Kalonzo is the loyal lackey. Kalonzo is the man you appoint and drops a few dimes on. Then he is one of your guys. This man haven’t proven any leadership capabilities or response to the needs of the Republic.

Mr. Kalonzo cannot act like a big-man. Yes, his an Envoy now and his been in government. Even at some point Vice-President. However, he has never been consistent always switched sides after what gives value. This man can become anything for anyone and suddenly run on their agenda.

This man can be KANU, ODM and be WDM. This man can BBI and Jubilee, he could even become NARC and whatever else. Kalonzo can be both sea, land and air. His a conglomerate in his own mind.

Kalonzo is whatever that is poppin’. If it is G-Unit, Terror Squad, Young Money or whatever crew that is hitting the chart. These days he would be a member of Griselda. That is the sort of man he is.

That is why his aim to run for Presidency is a failure from the get-go. He is not a game changer, but a man of the tide. Peace.
