Christianity: Kenya’s SHITHOLE Religion

By Albert Nyakundi Amenya aka The Banana Peddler

They say Christianity is the largest religion in the world. There is no gainsaying. I personally identify myself as one although I stopped being a church goer many years back while in high school. Christians identify themselves with Jesus Christ because they believe he is the son of God. I too do.

But one thing I am sure of, I have a premonition if he comes back today, no Kenyan Christian or pastor will go back to heaven with him. May be, Pastor Harrison Nganga of Jesus Foundation Fellowship, Bunyala Road, will. This is the only man who does not coerce you to sow a seed.

The rest are a bunch of hypocrites and award winning conmen. They are excellent church goers but accomplished nonbelievers. Kenya is one of the countries where the fiercest enemies share a church but don’t talk to each other, they leave church, go, continue fighting and attend church together the next church day.

In Kenya, Christianity forms the biggest gang in the world. The theological credentials of Kenyan pastors are devil-certified. They have refused to obey the teachings of Jesus. Instead, they have resolved to manufacturing fake miracles.

Kenyan pastors share traits with terrorists and armed robbers. No one shares traits with The Son of Man. Just look at the way they proudly behave themselves like peacocks. One might think they are RIGHT the opposite of WRONG but in real sense; they are RIGHT the opposite of LEFT.

Jesus came for the poor but they go for the rich. In our churches, you will be blessed based on the size of your pocket. The poor however righteous are kept at bay while the rich, however wicked, are titled. They are not touched because laws are made for the poor and the impoverished alone.

Recently, I visited a friend of mine called Kamau in Kiambu County. After showering his church with saintly praises, he convinced to accompany him so that I can witness what God is doing for his people. The ‘man of God’ called pastor Kariuki was praying for people. A man who was supposed to have been blind from birth was brought to the pastor to be prayed for. The pastor did whatever he did in his hands and placed it on the eyes of the man then the man said he can now see. So, the pastor brought out a white handkerchief from his pocket and asked the former blind man what the colour of the handkerchief is. Without hesitating, the blind man from birth shouted ‘white’. I asked myself, how can somebody that was totally blind from birth differentiate colours?

Still in Kiambu, another pastor called Njoroge was preaching. A man that had never walked from birth was brought to him. He touched pastor Njoroge’s clothe and immediately started running. I asked myself, how can a man who has never walked since he was birthed, suddenly bypass the stage of limping, crawling, and walking then immediately start running? Do not tell me it is the Holy Spirit.

The greatest fools nevertheless, are the faithful. Since they believe their ‘spiritual fathers’ are always right, they follow them blindly without thinking for themselves. Even when these con-pastors are exposed, they flock the church the following Sunday and blame everything on the devil and his temptations. These are sheep indeed. What a bunch of useful idiots.
These pastors you see around performing fake miracles here in Kenya will face the wrath of the Son of Man. Jesus himself will personally chase them to last gate of hell. In Kenya, there is no life in Christianity.

Kenyan pastors are the greatest businessmen in this country. They sell blessings to the highest bidder. They lead in laying other men’s wives. They chew their own sheep. God have mercy.

Kenyan pastors promote laziness among the faithful. They sponsor poverty among the poor children of God. Instead of asking worshippers to work extra harder and earn a honest living, they just pray for them and ask them to go back home, sleep, believe and wait for God to perform miracles. They have replaced laziness with prayers. They simply replace laziness with prayers. As a result, young men spend their lifetime sweeping the church and serving as ushers until old age.

Instead of telling young men and ladies to each other and marry, they ask them to abstain and wait for God’s time. Seriously! When will this God’s time come?

In Kenya, churches no longer preach about the gospel of Christ. Everything is about money. Pastors only teach how blessed is the hand that giveth, than the one that taketh. Whatever pastors and priests preach does not reflect the wishes of God and his son Jesus Christ.

Stealing is their stock in trade. They steal in the name of the lord.

Catholic priests are the greatest pretenders. They lay girls in churches, impregnate them then rent or by houses and raise families with them. When I finished my Kenya National Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) waiting to join college, I did menial jobs in Eldoret.

One morning, a plumber tagged me along as his factotum when he went to fix a broken sewer line in a priest’s house at a nearby catholic church. To our shock, all evidence pointed to the fact that the blockage was caused by a heap of condoms, some of which were fully loaded with missiles. Whoever used them in the priest’s house!

One day around noon, I was sauntering around Dandora phase three. I bumped into these Akorino pastors that preach by the roadside in Kikuyu language. I paused for approximately ten minutes to buy something near where they were preaching from. All this time, the pastor was preaching in Kikuyu. He suddenly switched to Swahili when time to give offerings came.

Sasa nawaomba nyinyi wote mnaonisikia, Mungu anawapenda. Tafadhali karibia hapa na sadaka yako umtolee Mungu. Ukitoa utabarikiwa

Immediately, a pulchritudinous Akorino lady approached me holding a basin and requested for my own offering. Then I asked myself, all this while this pastor has been preaching in Gikuyu. I did not hear whatever he was preaching, meaning I was not directly blessed by his teachings.

Assuming his target market are Kikuyus, why then is he demanding offering from non-Kikuyus? Why switch from Kikuyu to Kiswahili at the time of offering? I just nodded in disapproval, signposting the girl to get the hell out of my face.

When Jesus comes back, there will be no peace for the wicked. Every crime must be punished both in this world and in the other world. But the fools never learn until it’s too late to seek mercy.

Mt. KENYA MAFIA Plots another Scandal At Kenyatta National Hospital To Fix CEO Lily Koros

By Joseph Kithi

Even after Kenyatta National Hospital Chief Executive Officer Lily Koros survived a fabricated story where mothers were allegedly raped, rumour has it that the same crooks are plotting another scandal.

After their effort to have Koros sacked and a Kikuyu take over leadership of Africa’s third largest hospital, the Mt. Kenya are planning to organize another scandal and frame Koros.

Their mission is simply to get Koros out of their way. Initially they claimed that mothers who had given birth were raped on the lift and corridors when going to see their children who after birth are kept on a separate floor.

The evil scheme did not succeed because the so called victims of rape chickened out and declined to come forward and testify.

They wanted them to come and testify so that they get enough ground to ask madam Koros to retire. Still, Hospital workers who felt offended stood firm with their CEO because they like her way of doing things. In fact, they went as far as organizing a counter-demo to neutralize that of activists.

When the coached victims failed them, the whole thing flopped. The investigators found no unassailable evidence to blame Koros. Sources have revealed that a group of Mt. Kenya politicians have been meeting everyday at 8PM at Thika Blue Post Hotel to try and come up with plan B.

They decided to go back to the drawing board and come up with something that will pin the CEO. It is not yet revealed what their next move is, but members of the public and the staff of KNH needs to be on the lookout on what happens around them.

It is believed that some of the Mt. Kenya employees at the hospital are involved to succeed the plan then get promoted later. Kenyans and members of the public are put on high alert so as not to find themselves in that trap.

Kenyans must in solidarity with the CEO. Public institutions must not be run by members of one ethnicity. Koros should be left alone to perform her functions. The fact that no victim has come forth to testify, confirms that she is clean.

Whatever the Mt. Kenya Mafia are planning, Kenyans must resist.

“Mudavadi Is Like A Pig That Returns To Garbage Immediately After You Clean It”- Atwoli.

Kalonzo Musyoka and Musalia Mudavadi are “irredeemable cowards”, Francis Atwoli has said following their absence at NASA’s swearing-in ceremony.

Raila was inaugurated as the people’s president at a well-attended event on Tuesday but his co-principals were not there.

This sparked fallout claims but the two and Moses Wetang’ula issued a statement saying they remained “strong and united” and would not relent in their push for electoral reforms.

Atwoli, who is Cotu secretary general said president Uhuru Kenyatta should dialogue with Raila and lock out Kalonzo, Mudavadi (NASA chief campaigner and ANC leader) and Moses Wetang’ula (Bungoma senator and Ford Kenya party leader).

He said the three betrayed Raila by giving his swearing-in a wide berth, a sentiment shared by Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo.

Atwoli further termed the three opportunists who can’t take any risks and who developed cold feet in the last hour, therefore pulled out of the much-awaited event.

On Tuesday evening, the three claimed they were barred by police but police have denied this claim.

“I said it in Kisumu in 2007 when Kalonzo ditched Raila. He said ‘nitapitia katikati yao (I will pass through them)”. That was a betrayal of social justice because you [Kalonzo] are a coward and you will never be a leader.”

He added: “Mudavadi is like a pig that returns to garbage immediately after you clean it. These are not leaders but opportunists and Uhuru should not be shaken by these guys [Kalonzo and Mudavadi]. That’s the truth of the matter.

“I don’t see why Uhuru should not engage Raila and reach a compromise in order to accommodate millions of his (Raila) supporters and move in one direction.”

Atwoli further said yesterday’s event was a good test for Kenyans “to see some of the political opportunists who would vanish in case of risks.

“Most of the people walking around engaging in politics are opportunists because when the time comes and you tell them ‘there is the live wire, let’s see who can touch it’, they will disappear.

The Cotu leader noted 100, 000 people lost their jobs between August and November last year when the two presidential elections took place.

Atwoli also faulted Uhuru for shutting down mainstream TV stations to prevent the live broadcast of Raila’s event.

”Luyha Leaders Betrayed Brother Raila, the Great Grandson Of King Mumia”- Atwoli Laments

By FRANCIS ATWOLI:

Today I don’t speak as a Trade Unionist, but instead as a Luhya elder. Not just a Luhya elder but a disappointed one. I don’t know where to burry my head with regards to Raila Inaugural ceremony or swearing in. I am almost believing the words of Masinde Muliro that quote; “…for a Luhya to be President a Luo must be President first.”

Am not tying to bring rifts between mashemeji but look at how events unfolded yesterday. Who was the Judge that swore Baba? Hon TJ Kajwang. Who was the registrar ? Miguna Miguna. Who witnessed the event? James Orengo. Who welcomed the President? Hassan Joho. Who was the Event Organizer? Simba Arati. The list is so long.

The ultimate questions Nasarites will ask is where were my Luhya brothers?. Where did Bonny Khalwale, Moses Wetangula or Mudavadi go?. Mudavadi of NASA HAO NASA HAO!? Or it is NASA HAO only in church pulpits then disappear at the hour of need? Yet they expect to take mantle from Raila Odinga when he retires.

Well I have to say Presidential candidacy is not reserved for cowards. Someone has to sweat blood and water in order to inherit the voting block from Raila Odinga.

To my brother Wetangula and Musalia Mudavadi Kenyans are disappointed with you. But all is not lost. There is still time for political redemption if at all you want to realize 2022 or any future dreams.

REVEALED: Raila Swearing In Was A Big Success, Check Top Ten Things It Achieved

By C A Luanda Magere

To the poorly discerning eye, Raila Odinga may have only raised a bible, in a largely chaotic sea of humanity. In Africa, where power is measured by its attendant trappings, like large motorcades, insane display of wealth and a bloated public service competing with itself to show loyalty, it may even be harder for supporters to realise just how much ground they covered in that process. I am no expert in these things, but as a student of politics, I can see things from my firm layman’s chair.

In my previous post about what may happen on 30th, my first pick was a peaceful swearing in that would almost immediately launch a secessionist movement. Obviously the function was not disrupted, and there may be a million reasons for that. But if this was meant to be a fight for electoral justice, it probably achieved more than it set out to. It also brought out a truth that we always ignore; that Raila’s slum-level supporters understand him much better than his middle and upper class supporters, who may be witnessing a serious revolution, but instead get busy asking why there are no chairs at the venue, why the PA system is not as good as Rihana’s during her last performance in San Diego, or why Miguna is wearing a white shirt! Simply put, the vanity of a perceived educated supporter is mind boggling, at a time when the low level supporter just comes out and supports the cause unequivocally.

Anyway, several things were firmly dispensed with yesterday that made the Raila swearing in a complete success…

1. Raila finally took charge of his support base in a formal covenant. This base is reputed to be in the region of 60% of the country, a potent multi tribal mass that no politician, past and present, has ever built up. The meaning of this is that even without a State House and state largesse, President Raila can now determine what his half of the country, from whether to pay taxes to an illegitimate regime or not, whether to chart a secessionist path or how to redefine our choices. If the crowd at Uhuru Park was a microcosm of the Raila national support, you are looking at an uprising just waiting for a trigger. If Raila went on with the oath despite the threat of treason charges, nothing now stops him calling for his 60% support to rise up and remove the illegitimate regime by all means. That oath was the covenant he needed.

2. No other election will ever be stolen. Simply put, after yesterday, the consequence for stealing elections has become too grave. Yesterday was just the oath. Today begins the aftermath of the oath. Wherever this will end, nobody will ever steal elections again.

3. Two unrelated things; the police failed to show up but the media was shut down! I celebrate these two. Because both of them were manifest of a collapsing system. Testimony to the fact that the police wouldn’t be of help, so let’s stop the world seeing it! Imagine that for a moment. That the regime didn’t want people to see Raila taking the oath! Keep imagining that a little longer! You are onto something here. The only reason a regime stops you seeing that is because it has lost control of the population! So why then do I think the police were a no show? I have several theories but that’s for another day. In the meantime, start counting all the countries that you think have shut the media totally to avoid showing an event. You will find Kenya is in the company of very few! And no, Somalia, Chad, Yemen, Syria and Colombia are not on that list.

4. If there was any perceived support that Raila received via his co-principals, that myth was buried yesterday. By proceeding with the oath alone, Raila used a gentle but Machiavellian move to consolidate all his support by “direct loyalty”. By end of day, people from Sabatia, Mwingi and Bungoma were calling Musalia, Kalonzo and Wetangula very unsavoury names! It is hard to understand how the so called co-principals expected the event to be postponed at 2pm, with a million people already seated and tens of millions logged onto the internet streaming it. Yesterday marked the death of the NASA lie, and incidentally, the rise of the real Raila warriors in places like Western, where Cleo Malala, Norman Magaya and Edwin Sifuna, who had played a leading role in that swearing in ceremony, firmly took their positions at the high table.

5. Hassan Joho, Heir Apparent. It may appear that the absence of the co-principals caused some sort of a vacuum. I submit that the co-principals have in fact been absent the whole time. ODM’s Deputy Party Leader, Hassan Joho, has been the coprincipal all along! Joho is also a very smart politician. Knowing that the so called co-principals would disappear last minute, he made sure to be there for his leader to the end, becoming the man who actually invited his President to take the oath. Joho has won the admiration of the Raila base. If Raila said Joho Tosha, there would also be a non Raila base in the Muslim world that would crown him. Now that Raila has consolidated his base, the next “Raila” may also just have been crowned at the function.

6. We have said before that Raila does not fear arrest and/or death. Yesterday confirmed that Jubilee has no formula to deal with Raila. And this means that if Raila chooses, he can finish Jubilee within the coming months. Jubilee’s options yesterday were quite narrow. First would have been for police to shoot hundreds of people to stop the function. That would have risked anything, from a nationwide uprising to a military intervention to restore order. As soon as military tanks hit the streets and the people cheer them and ride their tanks together, even those who sent them can’t stop their next move. The other option would have been to arrest Raila, with similar consequences. Effectively, Raila is untouchable! And the uninterrupted oath has raised him even higher. Jubilee’s best hope now is that natural happens to Raila. But nature is not stupid.

7. The Raila journey and oath brings out a demographic that is seldom celebrated but really needs its place in the sun; Women Politicians. Pick any woman MP or Senator. They were always there. Their male counterparts will eat from both sides and hold night meetings with opponents. But the women always remain firmly on their original side. Aisha, Mishi, Flo Mutua, Kwamboka…there is amazing consistency among the “Raila women”. You will pick out Roza Buyu jumping with excitement in that oathing video to understand this. The women do not play their comrades. Even in 2013 when Kalenjins were fleeing ODM, the women, Kamar, Laboso, Sally, were the last to leave, long after their men had been bought and domesticated like Mogotio goats. The Raila machine must now bring more women to the high table. There is no excuse not to have women co-principals after the experiment with men!

8. Raila paid all his debts yesterday. Actually there was none. So he just buried the perception. Ahead of the next election, President Raila now remains in total control of his base, which grows by the day, as disillusioned Rift Valley joins. Baba will be only 75 in 2022. He goes to the gym, eats osuga and drinks nyuka kal. I have never met a younger, fitter man. If you want our support in 2022, and you were not at Uhuru Park, we will remind you that the young man Raila Odinga has not reached retirement age and will not reach for another 25 or so years. We are not fools. The Raila base have their man for 2022. There is no vacuum.

9. After accepting his mandate as the President of the Majority, there will be no way the President of the Minority assumes he can ignore that. Raila got his mandate in broad daylight. One of those two must fall, and it won’t be the majority side.

10. History was made. It won’t seem so clear now. But in the coming months, you will see how liberation finally came. Not just from our enemies, but also from those who pretended to be our friends. The burden is lighter. Now let’s wait for the decrees from our President.

BREAKING: Police Arrest Lawyer TJ Kajwang For Administering Raila Oath Of Office


Ruaraka MP Hon Tom Kajwang (Advocate and commissioner of oaths) has been arrested, a day after he administered oath of office to NASA leader Raila Odinga during swearing-in as the “People’s President” at Uhuru Park grounds.

Hon Kajwang an advocate of the high court of good standing for 28years qualifies to be a supreme court judge and that is why he was picked to administer the oath. He was at the heart of the much awaited swearing-in along with National Resistance Movement (NRM) General Miguna Miguna who acted as the supreme court registrar while senior counsel James Orengo witnessed.

Kajwang was behind Odinga as he took the oath with Miguna and Siaya Senator James Orengo beside the NASA leader.

The MP was arrested by Flying Squad officers outside Milimani law courts and asked to head to DCI headquarters.

It is not yet clear on what charges they will prefer but it is obvious he will be required to record a statement.

Other NRM leaders including Miguna Miguna, David Ndii among others are also said to be wanted by the police.

”Grenade Attack On Kalonzo Home Is A Fabrication, Fake”- Police Spokesman Confirm, Wiper Leader Embarrassed

A stun grenade was used in the alleged attack on Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s home, police spokesman Charles Owino has said.

It was reported that unknown gunmen hurled explosives at the Karen home at dawn on Wednesday. The stun grenade was found in the compound.

Senior police officers, who responded to the attack, dismissed the incident as fabricated and the NASA principal, who missed his swearing-in as deputy people’s president, declined to comment.

Addressing journalists at the home, Owino explained: “A stun grenade gives you a very loud bang which is meant to scare and not harm.”

“It is designed to produce a blinding flash of light and an intensely loud bang of greater than 170 decibels (dB) without causing permanent injury.”

Owino said the grenade in question is different from those that explode and harm people.

“We did not find any holes made by the grenade on the compound. The vehicles around the place it might have been dropped had no holes,” the police boss said. “When we entered the compound, we even asked ourselves if the attack was true.”

However, he said they found the point where the grenade fell and that bomb experts will look into it.

Owino said they were also reviewing CCTV footage to know what transpired.

Earlier, NASA co-principal Moses Wetang’ula said: “The opposition will hold the government squarely responsible if anything regrettable happens to us.”

He said that they are “thoroughly exposed” following the withdrawal of their security. The leaders skipped Raila Odinga’s ‘swearing in’ on Tuesday.

As We Celebrate Raila Swearing In, Kalonzo On Suicide Watch, Nobody Answered This Question

By Gabriel Oguda

There is this question no one has bothered to answer.

What is it about women that we find them difficult appointing to public offices? The law requires that we have at least eight women in the Cabinet, but Uhuru Kenyatta appoints six and we clap for him like he’s made a scientific discovery.
Let me tell you something.

I’ve been to Kotulo, in Mandera South. That was in 2008 and another visit in 2015. Kotulo is the birthplace of Cabinet Secretary Adan Mohammed. His father was a Chief, Chief Mohammed Jari – which makes Adan Mohammed a cult hero over there, even before those days he was the Barclays Bank top man.

Adan Mohammed is soft-spoken, and genuinely humble. He loves the people of Kotulo with his heart and he has built a nice school right there for the children of Kotulo – an ultra-modern boarding facility that covers for primary and secondary wings. That academic oasis is named after his father; Chief Mohammed Jari Academy. For an arid zone beset by seasonal pestilence, clan animosity and cross-border terrorism, Adan Mohammed has done well providing an academic sanctuary for his village people and children of other peasants keen to crack the marginalization ceiling and make it big in this country. Anyone who remembers where they came from and seeks to uplift those they left behind is my kind of person.

But here is my problem.
I watched the news last weekend. Mandera County residents addressed the media both from Kotulo, and in Mandera town, thanking President Uhuru Kenyatta for renewing his faith in their son. There were also celebrations in Nanyuki by Mwangi Kiunjuri’s villagemates, Najib Balala’s clansmen read the same script in Mombasa, Meru town was blocked by PNU supporters on behalf of Peter Munya, and the list goes on. There was no single celebration, anywhere in this country, for any of the six women appointed to the cabinet. If there were, I did not see it.

Which begs the question.
What is it about women that we find it difficult celebrating their achievements? Why are we afraid of coming out with twigs to thank the president for appointing our sisters to the cabinet? Doesn’t Farida Karoney (Lands) have a clan? Aren’t they proud of her appointment? What about Ambassador Monica Juma? Everyone knows she’s a perfect fit for the Foreign Affairs docket, but why aren’t her people rubbing it in our faces, like those of the other male appointees? Do we feel inferior having women as leaders in our topmost decision-making organs? Then why are we silent about it?

If Uhuru Kenyatta was looking for his family members to fill Cabinet slots, I’m sure he has many women to choose from his Ichaweri bloodline. If the criteria for appointment to the Cabinet solely rested on tribal affiliation, conventional wisdom dictates that we have more women than men in those respective tribes to go around. If those who can cart away hundreds of millions in gunnybags were the only ones required in Cabinet, we have excess female hairdressers who make the cut. And if appointment to the cabinet was based on merit and merit alone, this country has the tyranny of women brain-boxes, in the entire region, by a country mile.

There is no reason we did not have at least eight women in the new elite group; because the law requires us to do so, and no one wants to break the law on something as simple as plucking two male names and replacing them with women, from whichever list they get them from. Let us not make it look like we need a rocket scientist to read the constitution for us, because rocket scientists are already complaining that lawyers aren’t helping them send rockets into orbit, and they find no reason why they should help lawyers read common law written in plain English.

We are handling this violation of the two-thirds gender principle as if President Uhuru Kenyatta only broke a water-pot or lost our grandmother’s garden rake. This guy has violated the constitution, the Mother Law that rules us all. The last time some contractor came to the quadrant where I live and mowed down the fence, the residents jumped on his neck and confiscated his tractor, until he planted a new perimeter wall and apologized for sleeping on the job.

This should be the first trumpet, might as well be the last.

Igathe’s Resignation Takes Effect As Governor Sonko Asserts Authority At City Hall

By Moses Mwaura

It’s now official Polycarp Igathe is no longer the deputy governor of Nairobi County.

Igathe’s postdated resignation on the 11, January, 2018 becomes effective 31, January, 2018, meaning he cannot rescind his exit from City Hall. In his resignation letter Igathe blamed lack of trust from his boss Governor Sonko for his abrupt and shocking resignation just after five months in office.

Before his resignation Igathe was rumoured to have clashed with Sonko over lucrative tender deals but a phone conversation allegedly leaked by the National Intelligence Service contradicted the claims. The leaked audio recording disclosed a good working relation between the two with Sonko even instructing Igathe on how to respond to questions during a live TV interview on NTV.

With Igathe’s official exit from City Hall, Sonko will now serve his full term in office without a deputy unless Parliament amends the County Governments Amendment Bill to give powers to Governors to appoint their deputies should a vacancy arise in the office.

Since Igathe’s exit from City Hall, Sonko has affirmed his authority at City Hall. Sonko has so far stepped up the renovation of roads in City estates and launched the beautification of the City initiative. The Governor has also suspended the director of fire department over the Kijiji slum fire in Langata that left six people dead.

The County Governments Amendment Bill states that a governor will make the appointment within 14 days of the office becoming vacant, but with the approval of the county assemblies.

The Bill sponsored by Senate majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen states that such a vacancy may occur in the event of death, resignation or imprisonment of the sitting deputy governor as well as in cases where the deputy takes over the governor’s office.

Parliament is on recess and will resume on the 13th of February.

Musalia, Kalonzo In Panic As Luyhas and Kambas Condemn SKIPPING Raila Oath

SKM, MDVD, WETA ARE NOT TRIBAL CHIEFS. THEY ARE NATIONAL LEADERS

They Represent Kenyans’ Aspirations, And As Such Kenyans Can Vent their Feelings Of Approval Or Disapproval Of Their Actions

The Luhyias & Kambas need NOT take OFFENSE when Kenyans vent their ANGER on the TRIO for letting them down on a day like yesterday. These Big Three are NOT tribal leaders.

As far as I know, they ceased to be TRIBAL chiefs the moment they said they were TOSHA and went to vie for the presidency to represent Luke Divines and you. They are NATIONAL leaders. Kenyans had great hopes in them, not because they were Luhyia or Kamba, but because they are KENYANS. Vunja miwani ya kikabila!

Their failure to show up for any good or bad reason negatively impacted on KENYANS pregnant with hope that they wouldn’t disappoint.

Let us be like our brothers the Luos. If Raila Odinga would NOT have showed up at Uhuru Park yesterday, social media would be awash from yesterday WITH INSULTS, reprimands and rebukes on AGWAMBO. “Coward! Coward!”

To the Luos, it appears the script is written with indelible ink. You are meaningful only if you can stand up to be counted. And any cowardly acts, no matter WHO displays it, meets with INSULTS and slaps FIRST! Matusi kibao, sababu zako hizo utazieleza BAADAYE!

When Raila postponed his swearing from 12th Dec 2017, the reprimands he received from his own flesh and blood made him decide to bite the bullet and swear, liwe liwalo. They dared him raise their 200 dead if he cannot “EAT BIBLOS”! Raila is a true Luo abd Kenyan, ever keen to find out WHY people reprimand him, and where need be, to change.

TODAY MAJORITY OF KENYANS, not just the Luos, FEEL PROUD. Raila ametuondolea aibu thru his bravery! Now the Luos who INSULTED him are now PRAISING him. That is the Luo I know! Let us not bembeleza watu wetu halafu wanatuletea na Wakenya aibu. Join other Kenyans in rebuking them, and they may change. SABABU ZAO WATALETA BAADAYE!

I have seen Luhyias as disappointed as Kambas in the absence of the THREE leaders. And many Kenyans are, and they are expressing it. We will wait for them to speak. But friends from their communities should be honest and castigate such cowardly dispositions, WITHOUT INSULTS though.

But if you are still overly defensive of “our own”, pampering the three because they are your TRIBESMEN, then you are the enemy of Kenya and may still waste your vote come 20-what, which is already predetermined, unless they stay steadfast with RAO and bring reforms.

RAILA ODINGA the Enigma: We Will Never Forget You Sir

By Halligan Agade

Kenya as a country has made strides since 1963. Although we have been derailed when it comes to development such as education, health care and our economy generally is stagnant.

The Enigma also known as Agwambo without a doubt has been a force behind some of the key milestones that we have made.

In 2002 we were young but some of us are well aware about that clarion call that he made to unite the opposition against the ruling party KANU which had ruled for 39 years resulting into a serious damage to our country in every area. The Enigma made Mwai Kibaki the third President of this Republic.

In 2003 January Kenyans from all corners thronged Uhuru Park to usher in the beginning of an end to bad economy, joblessness and tribalism. Infact we were voted the happiest nation in the world.

Personally I think Kibaki blew up a chance to end tribalism and unite Kenyans. Fast forward and in 2008 the enigma became the Prime Minister and engineered most road network projects that we see today e. g the Thika Highway.

He also was pivotal in the Constitution making process which eventually saw the birth of a Kenyan made constitution in 2010.

Therefore we cannot underestimate his contributions in Kenya, he’s a statesman. However today I saw a man who is habouring mixed feelings joyful for his contribution to this country and probably sorrowful that some of his dreams have not been realized.

For me and this is my own assessment of the Enigma, it looks as if it’s an end of an illustrious political career. The curtains probably have come down.

Personally I will remember the enigma with nostalgia. He is a great man, he has played his part and now it’s your turn to play yours. Such is life.

As President RAILA ODINGA Takes Office…

By Albert Nyakundi Amenya aka the Banana Peddler

They say “A watched pot never boils” Baba Raila Amolo Odinga, I can’t wait to see you take over as the People’s President even if your Deputy chickened and went hiding.

To the people of Kenya, January 30, 2018 will forever remain august! It is the day they buried the shackles of perpetual slavery.

It was the day they openly resisted and rejected those who sought to throw them into economic and social captivity.

It was the day they broke the crab fingers of looters and killers. It was the day they expelled domination and oppression.

It was the day they fearlessly defied over 50,000 armed policemen deployed at Uhuru Park by the state to intimidate, harass, dehumanize and steal their inalienable right to swear in Raila Odinga as their president whom they elected under peaceful, free, fair and credible elections that was held on August 8, 2017.

It was the day they displayed their rich pedigree with royal courage. They were wiser. They showed resistance and now they are happy for it.

They were not cowed by the overwhelming deployment of thugs masquerading as Members of Business Community dressed in national security apparels to intimidate them and make them abandon their constitutional mandate.

History shall remember Raila Odinga as one of the greatest President this country ever had. In spite of the warnings, he continued his wantonness and dared the government. When called upon, the people did not disappoint him.

Although Baba is wise, I hope he will surround himself with clever advisors who will profer him wise counsel. Even Solomon was the wisest man but still had advisors.

They thundered at Uhuru Park in Jakom’s support when he took oath of office as the President of the People’s Republic of Kenya. He has indeed proven that he did not waste the nine months he spent in his mother’s womb. God bless the woman that got heavy for Raila and carried him in her womb.

Yesterday, Kenyans rose in unison and amply demonstrated that they are not unaware that Raila is the man they voted for on August 8, 2018 as their President. Jubilee never cared about Raila and his NASA supporters. Rather, they took them for granted. For the opposition political parties in Kenya, January 30, 2018 will forever represent a glorious chapter in the annals of their struggle to make life more abundant for the people of Kenya. For Raila, it is sweet victory. His disappointments have been many. But yesterday’s victory will surely sooth all that.

Baba has shown that with determination, hard work, prayers and fearlessness, one can attain the impossible. Raila has equally demonstrated that preparation meeting opportunity is the true definition of luck and not luck conferred by accident of a nomenclature.

He has successfully eliminated chance from the act of political reengineering. In the place of luck and chance, he has substituted resilience, vision, proper strategy, doggedness and action. As the wise say, “The harder the fight, the sweeter the victory” Yesterday’s Raila’s swearing in victory signposts the triumph of the people over cluelessness, ineptitude, bad governance, brazen corruption and impunity by those elected to serve.

I sincerely believe that yesterday’s inauguration is a broom revolution that will redefine our nation for good. Raila with his pedigree of integrity, vision and courage, cannot but shape our nation to the greater heights and make Kenyans citizens admired and respected once again in the comity of nations. He has not left anyone in doubt that he is ready to tackle the myriads of problems besetting this nation. Nothing must be left to chance.

He has proved that he is more than ready to begin the hard work of restoring the dignity of our great nation. Square holes must of necessity find accommodation in square holes. He is ready to do everything with finesse, decorum, justice, equity and fairness.

Raila is known for masterstroke strategies and not sloppiness. He is universally respected because of his sterling tradition of excellence. The electorate is will be waiting to see the change in stock for them in his new office. He cannot afford to disappoint them.

Raila’s government being the product of mass support must of necessity operate a policy of love towards all and malice towards none. I hope and trust that he shall work for those who voted for him as well as those who did not vote for him and even those who did not vote at all.

In the same vein, Raila’s government must in no way be a government of vendetta. What God did through the people on August 8, 2017 cannot be equaled or surpassed by the retributive acts of men. The new dawn must be the new dawn indeed – guided by the rule of law. His government must be truly a national government in outlook and functionality.

Under Raila Odinga Presidency, the civil service must be reinvigorated to live to its responsibilities. The era of no work but plenty pay must be ended. The nation’s workforce in the civil service must be seen to be a force at work for good in this country. The rules of competence and appropriateness must be observed in such a way that those who have been earning pay for free will be taken care of administratively.

Baba’s broom revolution must evolve an agile and competent civil service that will help it midwife its lofty dreams to fruition. I, therefore, congratulate President Raila Odinga for his election as President.

HOW NASA Principals Betrayed Raila, Met USA Ambassador Godec and DP Ruto

Let NASA people be informed:

1. By end of yesterday, all the NASA principals were in unison agreement; All systems go today.

2. In the morning, 2 NASA principals met US ambassador Bob Godec. The issue of suspending the swearing in was deeply discussed. Deal proposals were reached.

3. The 2 NASA principals then proceeded to meet DP to finalize on the deal to suspend the swearing in. After long talks, they agreed. Keeping mind that Raila won’t back down, they agreed on the withdrawal of security details.

4. The first security detail to be withdrawn was that of Kalonzo. The very 2 NASA principals then phoned Kalonzo and advised him to suspend the swearing in. He agreed and joined the band wagon of betraying Raila.

5. The 2 NASA principals, then called Raila. They informed him that they are not of idea of swearing in today. They advised Raila to shelve the event. They insisted that there are some issues that must be ironed out first before the event takes off. They then again advised Raila to proceed to Uhuru Park to convey to supporters that the event has been shelved.

6. Raila feeling cheated, he walked to Uhuru Park. Took OATH and gave some flimsy excuses just to insulate his fellow principals that had betrayed him. Raila was very disappointed when he was taking oath. He didn’t even read the speech he had prepared.

You will remember, the first oath taking was thwarted by the very NASA principals. Same tactics of meeting Godec.

I may not know what will happen next. But that’s what transpired today. I had started nursing hopes of transferring my support from Raila to Musalia. But the urge has just died this afternoon. I hate cowards. I deeply hate betrayal. If you find me re-affirming my support for ODM and Raila don’t ask me questions. Sorry, the betrayal of today, has just renewed my urge to campaign and vote for Raila come 2022.

May God bless Kenya!

How Senator Sakaja Convinced President Uhuru To Withdraw Police From Uhuru Park, Allow NASA Swear In Raila

By Alberto Amenya

Sources close to State House have revealed that Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja successfully persuaded President Kenyatta to withdraw the police from Uhuru Park and allow NASA to carry out their mock swearing-in exercise.

According to our snoop, COTU boss Francis Atwoli had earlier on called the Senator to advice him on the same. He asked him to talk to the President and advise him to let Raila do his thing on a violence-free environment to avoid deaths.

Before the President flew out of the country, Senator sat him down and explained to him that even if Raila took oath, he would only go back to his Karen home and not State House.

Sakaja pleaded with the President to safeguard the jumbo legacy he has built over the years.
He told the President that if the government resisted the exercise, it would lead to the clash between the police and NASA supporters.

As a result, people would die and the good name of the President would be blemished. There are those that were telling the President arrest of NASA leaders but Senator Sakaja opposed it. He as well opposed the switching off of the local media but lost on that one.

Again, when the President was in Addis Ababa, he phoned him to make a follow up on their early discourse and the President being the gentleman he is, assured reassured him that he’d withdraw the constabulary that had swarmed Uhuru park.

Unlike the likes of Moses Kuria, Senator Sakaja is among the sober minds in Jubilee whose opinion is taken seriously by President Uhuru. He is among those respected Jubilee leaders whose leadership transcends tribe and party politics.

He was recently traduced by members of his party Jubilee for intervening to have Embakasi East MP Babu Owino released from police custody on bail.

Musalia Mudavadi BLOCKED From Accessing Raila After BETRAYING Baba At Uhuru Park

1. Just after Raila left Uhuru Park after taking oath, Musalia made several frantic calls. Raila didn’t pick. He proceeded to his Karen home for late lunch.

2. Reality has hit my brother Musalia that he was duped. Failed to get Raila via phone. He narrated the ordeal to one of Raila’s aids, how he tried to link to Raila few moments before taking oath but his efforts were blocked courtesy of the other principals. He want Raila to buy his side of the story. He need audience with Raila.

3. DP Ruto has not been comfortable with how popular Musalia had become among Raila’s core supporters. Musalia has been commanding maximum respect among Luos. This plan to derail or shame Raila’s oath taking was a political game manufactured by DP. Gone successful, DP is a happy man tonight. His advisory team are in party moods. At least a wedge has been created between Raila’s core following with Musalia. As from tomorrow, DP’s people are heading to Bondo to start laying ground to cut a political deal with Raila. It was to kick Musalia off from Raila so that they can get space to get audience towards 2022.

4. As we speak NASA leadership is at Raila’s residence. They are celebrating upon taking oath. If at all Musalia, Wetangula and Kalonzo are honest, why are they missing at Raila’s residence? They are feeling guilty. Don’t buy their lame excuses through radio and print dispatches.

5. Kalonzo is receiving a heavy backlash from his backyard. Led by Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu and backed by Machakos Governor Mutua. They are showering Kalonzo with heavy abuses. Tough punches. The locals are not left behind.
It’s the same music for Musalia and Wetangula in their backyards. They are on a receiving end. Their seats are hot.

6. Lastly, tomorrow Raila will be busy crafting his cabinet which will be unveiled soonest. Can NASA once more roar back? May be. May be NOT. It depends with the principals.
Good night fellow politicians.

Government Declares NASA’s National Resistance Movement Criminal Group, To Arrest Leaders

The government has declared NASA’s National Resistance Movement as an organised criminal group.

The NRM was formed on October 25, 2017, a day before the repeat polls were held.

“In the exercise on the powers conferred by section 22 of the Prevention Organised Crimes Act, 2010, Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government declares the National Resistance Movement to be an organised criminal group for the purposes of the Act,” Interior CS Fred Matiang’i said in a statement on Tuesday.

The opposition formed the movement to lead its supporters in civil disobedience to pile pressure on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government to step aside.

On November 3, the NRM asked supporters to boycott products and services by Safaricom, Brookside and Bidco as part of the resistance movement.

The leaders noted the boycott was part of the economic liberation scheme supported by the People’s Assembly.

At a press conference on October 25, Raila said he will work with the people to protect the constitution.

He reiterated the boycott threat, saying there are many ways to kill a cat, and said the people should take instructions to boycott newspapers, TV stations, products and services in their bid for change in Kenya

NASA STATEMENT: WHY Kalonzo Musyoka , Musalia And Wetangula Skipped Raila Swearing In

STATEMENT BY THE UNDERSIGNED NASA PRINCIPALS ON 30 JANUARY 2018

1. Yesterday, 29 January 2018 as the four NASA Principals we had a lengthy meeting where we revisited the controversial Election of 08 August 2018, which was nullified by the Supreme Court, as well as the boycotted election of 26 October 2017 and our reform agenda and in particular electoral justice, among other important issues.

2. We agreed to meet again this morning. However, due to circumstances beyond our comprehension and control, the four of us did not assemble as planned. Nonetheless, the NASA Summit (Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, H. E. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, Hon. Musalia Mudavadi and Hon. Moses Wetang’ula) remains strong and united. The Summit will meet within two days, to address the immense challenges facing this country.

INSIDE SOURCE: Raila To Delay March To Uhuru Park To Allow Thousands Trekking to Arrive

Sources close to People’s president Raila Odinga and his deputy Kalonzo Musyoka confirm that he together with NASA principals will delay arrival at Uhuru park by 1 hour to allow thousands of Kenyans who are walking to Uhuru park to attend the swearing ceremony after Police withdraw from the grounds paving way for a peaceful event.

Elsewhere the military and GSU police have taken charge at Statehouse to swing into action incase of any eventuality after swearing in.

As PM Raila indicated the event will be peaceful and there is no reason for Uhuru to panic of get into paranoia. It is also confirmed that the American embassy was firm that the government should desist from using excessive force or police to disrupt the event. The warnings from Western government is reason why Uhuru called off the earlier planned Police action.

More to follow.

VIDEO: Kikuyu Elders Perform Rituals At Uhuru Park Cursing Raila Swearing In, Offered Goat Sacrifice

What Will Happen Tomorrow During The Raila Swearing In, God Is With Baba!

Written by a friend who seeks anonymity…

WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON 30TH January (PREDICTIONS BY AN INSIDER)

One of these things could happen tomorrow. One or more actually.

1. A peaceful swearing in of Raila Odinga, which will technically mean two Presidents and soon enough, two countries. It will then be the first step towards secession of Central Province from the rest of the country (the majority don’t secede, the minority do).

2. An arrest and detention of Raila Odinga, which would launch a nationwide orgy of violence, overwhelming the police and forcing military intervention. With a military intervention, things become 50-50, because the military will make a decision that safeguards long term stability. Which means those who send them out into the streets could be their first victims.

3. An indiscriminate police orgy of shootings which end up felling some NASA leaders, including, God forbid, Raila Odinga. The consequence, will not be tribal war as many expect, but full blown factional war, with heavy artillery, in the military and security forces. This then marks the end of both Jubilee and Kenya. From Raila’s recent speeches, it is almost obvious he is going for this.

4. A last minute deal between Uhuru and Raila, which stops the swearing in and launches national dialogue. 99% of Raila supporters will not welcome this.

Certain factors play a big role on how we move forward from tomorrow….

1. Can the country stand the arrest or assassination of Raila Odinga? The answer is NO. That will mark the end of us. Raila is neither Ouko nor Mboya. In fact, even among the Luo alone, people don’t realise that both Ouko and Mboya were at variance with the community position at the times of their deaths. Yet the reaction was violent and wholesale. Raila’s would explode bang inside the security services too.

2. What side would the Kalenjin take when we go two ways tomorrow? Surprisingly, this one is easy. The Raila side! And the isolation of the Kikuyu this way immediately spells doom for them. Which means government insiders will not let this happen. Silently, the Kalenjin are very disillusioned by Jubilee lately, and forcing them to pick a side does not augur well for Jubilee.

3. Would the long term safety of the Kikuyu wealth and the Moi-Kenyatta dynasties survive this? Again, the answer is an unequivocal NO. In fact, the Raila Sacrifice would be the end of both, because it would for the first time send the country into a state where official violence and control both become ineffective.

4. What would be the best scenario to save the country? Well, it would be for Uhuru to hand back power to the rightful winner. But that won’t happen.

Wherever you are and no matter what you do, you could be seeing the last 24 hours as one country, the last 24 hours of peace as you have known it, or the last 24 hours of slavery. Depends really on which side you stand.

Catch you on the other side.

KBC’s Mr Maina Contradicts Other Media On Uhuru Order to ‘Black Out’ Raila Swearing In, Defends Uthamaki

I would like to clarify that the statement from the Kenya Editors’ Guild Chairman Mr. Linus Kaikai is the chairman’s personal position on the subject matter.

I personally attended the said meeting to represent the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation Managing Director. It was a meeting by the executive, led by the President, and Media owners.

What is being termed as a “dress down” is a misrepresentation of facts. We had a fruitful discussion and we all agreed that media freedom has to be accompanied by high degree of responsibility. At no point were any threats issued to media houses or any ultimatums given on how we choose to broadcast matters of public interest, or those relating to the current political situation in the country.

Let it be clear that there has been no meeting by the Kenya Editors’ Guild executive committee to agree on, and issue the statement alleged to have been sent out by Mr. Kaikai. In this regard, as the Vice Chairman of the Guild, I disassociate myself with the said statement.

The Guild has laid down structures which must be followed when issuing any statement on behalf of members, especially on such a pertinent issue.

Signed,

Samuel Maina,
Vice Chairman,
Kenya Editors’ Guild

”We Are Under Heavy Attack From Statehouse”- NTV’s Linus Kaikai

STATEMENT ON DIRECT THREATS BY JUBILEE GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE MEDIA – KENYA EDITORS GUILD.

The Kenya Editors’ Guild is gravely alarmed over a developing trend by the government to gag or threaten the media over coverage of the current political events in the country.

We have just learnt today that on Friday last week, a section of media managers and select editors from the main media houses were quietly summoned to a meeting at the State House, Nairobi, the objectives which were unknown. But the proceedings should be clear cause for alarm to the media and the public.

The brief meeting attended by President Uhuru Kenyatta, Deputy President William Ruto, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi, ICT Secretary Joe Mucheru and AG Githu Muigai did not bode well for the freedom of expression and press in the country.

At the meeting, President Kenyatta expressly threatened to shut down and revoke the licences of any media house that would broadcast live the planned purported swearing in of NASA leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka on Tuesday. That direct threat has subsequently been echoed, off record by other senior members of government.

The Guild is appalled by the details of the meeting which was held under an atmosphere of intimidation for the media representatives present. Chairman of the Media Owners Association Hannington Gaya this evening confirmed the tone of the meeting as a ‘dressing down’ in which the media was, quote; ‘read the riot act.’ This brazen threat is intended to intimidate the media from performing its rightful role of informing the public on matters affecting them.

We would like to state it with all the clarity we can that the media is not an actor in the ongoing contest between Jubilee and NASA over the outcome of the last General Election. The Media remains a mere messenger and a chronicler of any events happening in our country. Our country’s vibrant media is made up of competent professionals in journalists and editors that continue to make sound decisions on what constitutes news, in public interest.

Consequently, the Editors Guild condemns and rejects the threats and purported instructions issued at the State House on Friday. We call on all media houses and journalists to carry on their work diligently and to report impartially on all matters of public interest as they have always done. The government should also ensure that journalists are neither harmed nor intimidated as they perform their work on Tuesday and thereafter.

We would like to remind the government to respect the freedom of the media guaranteed in Article 34 of the Constitution and the right of the public to information (Article 35) and desist from outdated methods of repression and to also respect the Bill of Rights.

As the editors and journalists fraternity, we remain committed to professional ethics and credible editorial practices free from undue interference.

Signed

Linus Kaikai

Chairman, Kenya Editors Guild
