Breaking news…

Kibaki has just announced a new Cabinet on KBC.

One minute address. No condolences. No calls for peace. Nothing.

Kalonzo VP (what a snake). Other usual suspects back – Murungi, Karua (justice), Michuki, also Uhuru.

Announcement was only for half the cabinet (he doesn’t have enough guys…this is funny in a morbid kind of way).

Excuse me, but this is FUCKING INSANITY.

Just when Kenyans are desperately trying to get things back to normal.

And he expects Raila to come to the negotiating table on Friday.

Does Kibaki have a deathwish for Kenya?

Just who is running the country?

Off to have a double of something strong.

EDIT: Full list is here.

EDIT 2: Violence already breaking out in parts of Nairobi (Kariobangi) and in Kisumu. Spoke to my mum this evening. Everyone is very depressed. People were really trying to make something out of nothing and get things back to normal. Ruto has apparently said that ODM is getting ready to “take over.” Who knows what the hell that means.

  • Kalonzo has been appointed VP – coincidence or not? If there is any truth to the Mt. Kenya Succession manifesto (link below), Kibaki should save us the suspense and put us on to the path of “healing” by signing in as president for life and scrapping all future elections in Kenya!! In fact he should have appointed Uhuru VP pronto! There is no need for more bloodshed or more Kenyan refugees in 2012.

    @Amir Ibrahim, I don’t think the situation in Kenya was brought about by a “Raila or nothing” mentality. It resulted from the blatant rigging by Kibaki and his defiant handling of affairs subsequently thereafter. The Kenyan voters (not only luos) were betrayed. Secondly, by how much do you think Raila would have rigged given that Kibaki controls the State machinery? Since rigging was cited by Frazer, Kivuitu and the EU, why doesn’t our beloved president Kibaki allow for a recount?

    How does Kenya move on, when the displaced have not been resettled?

  • Alexis

    1. For those who keep lamenting the song “ODM also rigged”, can one of you explain to me how the opposition can rig yet the government is the one in power in charge of elections?

    2. I now believe that Kibaki is a senile imbecile. And if the other 15 positions left to be filled are supposed to be “given” to ODM, are you freaking insane to think that akina Raila will accept ati Gender, Cooperative whatnot when all the big ones like akina Finance, Energy, Security etc are gone?

  • Abass

    I want someone to help me out here. Was it must for Kibaki to have appointed a new cabinet? I mean some people are suggesting that we needed to appoint these minsters(at least, the key ones) because the country can not be in ‘limbo’ apparently suggesting that this cabinet positions had to be filled? Is their something in the constitution that gives an ultimatum for the president to appoint ministers after which the ministers will no longer hold their portfolios? I am not a lawyer but I doubt whether the law requires Kibaki to name his cabinet a few minutes before the arrival of Kufor.

  • D

    This is not about ati who wants Kibaki or Raila. Right now, neither look great. It is about the fact that the country is tense. Kenyans are tense, at home and abroad. There is a segment of out population looking for blood. HE DID NOT HAVE TO CALL THE CABINET!! Ati in limbo!! Don’t make me laugh… Tuju was handling affairs as the Foreign Minister. Michuki was still minister of internal affairs.

    It is irresponsible and incites more violence. If Kibaki really cared about the nation, he would have waited. Kwani they could not wait a few days?? They could but wanted to send a message – we are here and here to stay. I agree with those that have said that Raila should take this thing to Parliament. Complaining and baying in the media is pointless.

    The only thing that will pressure Kibaki is international pressure (it has come out that the US is not pressuring him that much…)

    Shame shame on the these Kenyans looting and raping and killing. You are hurting yourselves. You are hurting Kenya. Kwani so you burn down someone’s house, how does that make it better? Are you, the arsonist, suddenly a richer person? What if the guy who’s house you burnt down comes back for revenge? Shameless!

    But as Kenyans, we have to be sober. The cabinet has been named. Instead of just yelling, we must now decide what direction our nation is going to go. What a nightmare.

    Does anyone think that Kibaki is in charge here? Honestly?

  • debaba

    Guys all of us are very dissappointed, but by swearing and cursing is not a solution, venting is ok, freedom of speech is ok, now what are we going to do to help? I have a learned friend in ustralia who has an agenda, as soon as i get more nformation, I will post is here or to ory and we see what we can do. It kenyans who are dying, let us not bring stupidity of triba;ism here, This site is one of the best blogs in town, let us respect ory’s hard work and try to come up with ideas not bikering and swearing,

  • vale

    Wake up guys, day to day affairs of government are run by Permanent Secretary’s, not Ministers. The government does not need Ministers to run – this is a strategic move.
    The more there is chaos – the less chance Raila can get get anything done. The less chaos, then poeple have time to question and think. This is a move that has been used in South America for years – get the masses pre-occupied with survival and in a constant state of fear – – they will have no time to organize, think.
    In a re-election – Kibaki loses, in negotiations, he loses. They have to get Raila and ODM on the streets fighting the police – this way Raila looks like a mad man out for blood. He becomes an outcast.
    If the government wanted to stop the bloodshed – they can do it in half a day. Gangs blocking roads to Mt Kenya region – killing the presidents poeple and no – GSU around !!. – C-mon folks wake up. The events going on are very calculated. Kibaki may be old – but those around are working on this. I do not think ODM will win this battle – political game.
    The Army will settle this – when things get way out of control -and – the commander in chief will rule. Things will get worse before they get better. Raila is the question here – he goes to the streets (rem – this guy was in detention for years) it is over. Raila stays off the streets then this plan may not work – but who can bet on that.
    What you see happening in Kenya is controlled chaos.

  • kanyoni ka nja

    Why is the responsibility for the violence being blamed only on Kibaki? The looters, burners-at-stake and the thugs have been without exemption, ODM supporters. Even with the circumstances looking suspicious from both sides, both men need to start thinking of national interests and not just about their tribe. ODM is not innocent, and you cannot keep using victimhood as justification for your barbaric acts!

  • iman

    Remember the monks in burma a.k.a the safrron rebellion who not to long ago protested against the military regime again military regime that has lasted since the 60’s. Subsequently lives were lost,arrests were made etc, all for the price of freedom.

    My question is,what are we going to do if Kibaki announces the other half of the cabinet?Will we swallow that bitter chill pill and say it’s ok and maisha has to move on and so forth or are we still going to engage in empty rhetoric here and there trying to figure out the next plan of action for kenya is,ama we will continue watching our brothers in the ghetto engage in running battles with the cops and with each other?

    Its either we are for pro change or simply just shut up and nestle in our little cocoons as we watch the puppeteers in action.

    What say you?

  • iman

    True democracy equals a government that is afraid of it’s people and not a people afraid of it’s government.

  • Pensive

    A purely emotional perspective ..
    I was raised in Kenya but have not lived there for almost 2 decades. I have returned at least 12 times, so felt I still had a connection.
    First shock, then denial … this is NOT happening to Kenya!!! depsite having predicted it 20 years ago, just before the struggle for “democracy” started. ,Then anger, now grief and finally acceptance .. the only way to preserve myself is to abjure myself of my first nationalilty. It is too much to bear for me so how can the actual peopl eon the ground handle it ..

  • Ory: For once I am astounded by your blog. Your posting and the 52 of 53 comments have in my mind totally missed the point (Murebeti is the exception).

    Now that killing has stopped we’re now into a political chess game. And Kibaki is gaining the upper hand. When I first heard the announcement my reaction was as stunned as everyone here then I read his speech where he explicitly announced that this half of his cabinet. Instead of slamming the door shut on Raila, Kibaki has him exactly where he wants him.

    If I were to look in my ‘crystal ball’ I would say that this fiasco will be resolved by the implementing of the 2002 MOU where Raila will join the Cabinet as Prime Minister (or if that is constitutionally not possible as de facto PM). He will be the most powerful minister in Kenya’s history, in effect our CEO, and will do a good job.

    Kibaki will continue as President, I don’t know if he’ll last until 2012 but if not he’ll likely leave voluntarily. I think our politicians will have learned what Mboya and Odinga knew in the early 60s that the Luo and Gikuyu together are a formidable force — and we’ve learned now as we did in 1969 that apart we have chaos. I see Raila and Uhuru forming a partnership that will propel Raila to presidency in 2012.

    Or maybe I’m just dreaming.

  • We have to move on.

  • Adeline

    I dont know what you people are crying about. What was Kibaki to do when Raila has made it abundantly clear that he is not interested in a coalition govt? The country must continue running, it cant wait for Raila to make up his mind what he wants. Incidentally time is running out for him – he needs to file the petition in the High Court quick. If the courts rule that elections should be repeated we shall happily troop back to the polling stations. And hopefully this time Raila will emerge winner, then we might just have some sane comments here.

  • TK^3

    I wish to beg for objectivity – use of any of the 4-letter words (and their derivatives) wont yield anything but shame!!

    I dont applaud the actions of Kibaki, Raila nor Kalonzo. The main issue is – if we were all subrogated to the positions of any of the three leaders what would you do? How does the ordinary kenyan gain in all the mad power play that is running in our dailies. Infact, how are we (you and me) gaining from all this madness.

    I think that some threads on this blogs, and the net in general, are more divisive as our leaders. Let as remain focussed on fighting for our fundamental rights. It is much more important to make sense of what we say, coz our actions follow from the same.

    For instance, it is essentially important that we push for a unanimous agreement between our leaders that ALL CULPRITS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS, MAIMING, INCITING, LOOTING AND DESTRUCTION, BE BROUGHT TO THE FULL EFFECT OF THE LAW. This is as vital as the negotiations seeking the temporary sanity. Only a clown can politicize this matter.

  • brutha-man

    Raila is trying to hold Kenya hostage.

  • Ray

    I have worked with the Red Cross in the Rwandan context and I have seen/read of the Red Cross movement at work in other war-torn countries (some in even more crisis than Kenya is in right now). But never have I seen Red Cross trucks and staff raided as was witnessed in Kibera (was on 13h00 news ) today. The Red Cross Movement is neutral and works to help people in need and most of the staff are volunteers driven by a humanitarian calling to alleviate suffering. How can anyone attack the very same (sometimes the only) people who can help you? This makes no sense to me at all. What madness has overcome our people (let alone our leaders)? Kenyans, what legacy are we gonna leave for the generations to come? I am very disturbed, not only by the political events unfolding but by our behaviour as human beings. How can we continue to feel proud of being Kenyan after some of the unbelievable events that we are witnessing? Someone pliz help me to understand what’s happening to KENYANS!!!

  • Mwai Emilio Stanley Kibaki,

    Could you please smell the kahawa(coffee)?

    I was puzzled by your announcement of the first half of the cabinet yesterday. I was not suprised, as to date your behaviour has been consistent.

    Do you have any idea how your actions are being interpreted some Kenyan people?

    I interpreted your announcement yesterday, as total disregard for the Kenyan people. I was of the understanding that you were prepared for peace talks on Friday. Your announcement yesterday has spoilt the reconciliation bid.

    I have a problem with your mantra kazi iendelea(work must go on). Most Kenyans have been traumatised, and I feel that your announcement yesterday, demonstrates to me that you do not give a monkey’s about the Kenyan people.

    Do you not realise that in your role as president, you are required to put your own needs aside, and the needs of the national interest first?

    Mwai Kibaki, I am sorry to tell you, this is not all about you. You have a duty of care to the Kenyan people.

    I understand that the honour of your whole family may depend on you staying in power. However, I feel that line of thinking is now out of date. The lives of the Kenyan people are at stake. I have heard that you are only concerned about your own people. Whether oaths were taken in Mt Kenya or not is irrelevant.

    Are you aware of how many Kikuyu people have died in the past week?

    These people are innocent victims, who have had these atrocities inflicted on them, because you decide that you cannot and will not leave state house.

    I feel that you are attempting to block out part of what the Kenyan people are saying in the hope that things will be alright.

    Could you please tell me what your understanding of alright is?

    My feeling is that the Kenyan people are feeling betrayed and robbed, and have great difficulty trusting you. I believe your role is to win back the trust of your voters. By standing defiant you have no way of achieving this, in my view.

    I acknowledge that you are in charge right now, and have chosen to rule Kenya by any means necessary. However, I feel that it is not useful to impose a knee- jerk set of rules, with the state that our country is in. I appreciate that this may be the Kibaki way of doing things, but I believe that it is detrimental for the Kenyan people. The past week illustrates the results of your actions.

    Please take a few minutes to look at the powerful images on Joseph Karoki’s blog, which tell the story.

    I believe that you need to ask yourself whether you are able to have a collaborative relationship with the Kenyan people?

    My understanding is that collaborative relationships are characterised by commitment, and cooperation.

    Are your intentions to continue to rape the Kenyan people in order to maintain power?

    Some Kenyan people are feeling psychologically, and physically traumatised by the events of last week.

    Judith Lewis Herman says that

    in rape, the purpose of the attack is precisely to demonstrate contempt for the victim’s autonomy and dignity.

    A negative response to people who have been raped compounds the damage, and aggravates the traumatic syndrome.

    I believe the riots and killings in Kenya in the past week, are the only way that some people can express their humiliated rage.

    I feel it is essential that you acknowledge the reality of the Kenyan people, and take steps to change it, by taking action to foster recovery.

    Can you stop causing more harm to the Kenyan people?

    I ask that you reflect on whether you posess these qualities that are essential for leadership honesty, integrity, sincerity, respect, competence, and fairness.

    Mwai Emilio Stanley Kibaki, in your role as president, (rigged), you have a duty of care to the Kenyan people.

  • As i have stated before without duress, I am no tribal apologist. I know my tribe and I am proud to be from my tribe but have no trace of tribal inclination. I find some comments (although in this blog most people seem to be amazingly level headed unlike other forums!) here insencere.

    We all know that ideally Kenya is supposed to have 3 independent arms-The Executive, Judiciary and Parliament. We have never seen an in independent Judiciary. That is why petitions take years, powerful people never go to jail and the president generally run the Judiciary like his Kiosk. Until we see a Parliament that regulates itself, where MPs are not bought like bags of beans when casting votes and until we see truly independent courts where a judge would send a president’s wife to jail, we are far from being liberated.

    I will be silly to go to a Kenyan court in a bid to sue anybody with more money than me leave alone the president. So, my family is displaced from Molo but I would not advise Raila to go to a Kenyan court.

    To show you how corrupt Kenyan courts are let me give you guys a story. A while ago a cousin of my niece went to Nairobi School and took his certificate. He went to Western Kenya got an ID in my niece’ name and got a job with KWS.

    When this was discovered, as usual, the police moved quickly to arrest the guy. But as expected, things started moving slowly after that as the magistrates and prosecutors started toying with those concerned to part with Hongo. Any way in short, the impersonator insisted he is the legitimate owner of the certificate.

    My sister and my sister’s husband produced report cards, fees payment receipts, their birth certificates, teachers came and identified the true pupil who they taught, his house mates in Nairobi School came and said they didn’t know the other guy. Even the teachers from Lan’gatta Primary school came to identify their former student. Not even basket ball trophies that my nephew won could convince the Kenyan lady magistrate that a serious spoof was unfolding in front of her.

    This is a true story and in happened last year in Kibera Court.

    If we want future sitting presidents to be accountable, then let us start with Kibaki. One of my friends told the the other day that “hatuwezi kupatia mjaluo kiti” That is ridiculous. That kiti belongs to Kenyans, if it is true that Raila won, then that kiti is his. He has the mandate of Kenyans. Does the kiti belong to Kibaki so that he can give it to a person of his choice? NO

  • SORRY GUYS I MEANT NEPHEW NOT NEICE!

  • I forgot to tell you guys that the court ruled that my nephew didn’t convince them that he is the legitimate owner of the certificate. So the thug with all the trails of forgery was handed the certificate. My sister is appealing now.

  • Nyamse

    Kibaki has been described as having “handlers”. Whoever these folks are are so completely misguided, lost and probably senile. I’m so sorry for Kenya because obviously these handlers quite frankly don’t give a hoot about the next person. I’m so sorry for our dear Kenya. And all this transpires just before the start of negotiations? Unbelievable!

    I think everyone is missing the point. The idea is not to replace the man but to replace the system of government. There was a very nice piece written in the Nation in Dec ’03 …. enjoy

    Why our second liberation is yet to be completed

    By MUTAHI NGUNYI

    This week I want to give a suggestion to President Mwai Kibaki: He
    should fire his speechwriter! If we lived in a ”banana republic,”
    these people would have actually been charged with sabotage.
    What they gave the President to read on Jamhuri Day was flat and
    shoddy.

    In fact, his speech on this day sounded like recycled material from
    the Madaraka Day and Kenyatta Day addresses. And what is worrying is
    that his speechwriters did not even seem to notice the repetitions.
    The question we should ask here is why?

    The answer to this is simple: Maybe they also slept through the
    speeches! The long and short of things is therefore that someone is
    being negligent.

    Let us now turn to the fact that the President has finally put his
    portrait on our currency. In my view, there is absolutely nothing
    wrong with that. In fact, there would be nothing wrong if he put a
    family portrait on one of the currency notes.

    What we must understand here is that President Kibaki is a human
    being. He has urges and excesses. To deny him some things is
    therefore ridiculous. It is like placing a pot full of honey in
    front of a little boy and expecting him not to dip his finger into
    the stuff! In other words, our new President is cuddling in the
    warmth and comfort of the institutions that shaped former President
    Daniel arap Moi. And, if this is the case, why should we be
    surprised if he ”hatched” into a dictator?

    What we have witnessed in the last one year is the degeneration of
    President Kibaki from a reformer to a ”Toad King”. This process
    begins with the President becoming insensitive. At this point, he
    breaks one pledge after another without feeling a thing. And, as he
    does this, the question in his mind is: Where can you take me?
    In the case of the MoU for instance, we took him nowhere. The
    begrudged politicians yapped until the cows came home. Now the
    President has put his portrait on our currency and we will take him
    nowhere. The general attitude here is this: If you do not like it,
    you can sit on a pin!

    Numbing his sense to popular voices will definitely degenerate into
    a state of paranoia. At this point, the President will make one
    blunder after another. And instead of correcting his mistakes, he
    will increase his speed in the direction of the wrong. This is where
    former President Moi was when he introduced ”Project Uhuru” to the
    country. The crowds booed him, his loyal followers in Kanu abandoned
    him and even his own people questioned his wisdom. But the more we
    rejected his ”project”, the more determined he became.

    There is a lesson for President Kibaki here. He is increasingly
    becoming like Mr Moi during the 2002 elections. He is not yet
    paranoid, but his insensitivity could develop into ”political
    blindness”. Who knows how low he will have sunk by the 2007
    elections? And this is what worries me.

    Consider a hypothetical situation here. What would happen if
    President Kibaki decided to run for re-election in 2007 and lost?
    Would he and his men have the grace to hand over power peacefully?
    From the way they have behaved in the last one year, I doubt it. And
    where would that leave the country? At the risk of sounding crazy, I
    want to suggest the following: If we thought that Mr. Moi would
    plunge the country into civil strife, he proved us wrong. Narc is
    the party to plunge the country into civil strife. You just have to
    listen to the FM stations and the call-in television programmes to
    see a pattern. From the name of the caller, you can almost predict
    what they will say and what side of the divide they will take. In a
    disputed election, such polarity would certainly take ugly
    proportions.

    But there are two possible ways out of this. The first one has to do
    with the agenda of the second liberation. This process was meant to
    achieve two things – to remove Mr. Moi from power and replace him
    with reform-minded leaders. This was done successfully. However, as
    we are beginning to realise, Mr. Moi was not the problem.
    The problem was the institutions he inherited from the Kenyatta. To
    change the leadership without changing the institutions is like
    treating cancer with Malaraquin. This is partly why
    the ”institutional cancer” in the presidency is beginning to
    affect President Kibaki.

    Putting his portrait on our currency and junking the pre-election
    MoU are just manifestations of this cancer. This is why the other
    agenda of the second liberation was institutional reforms. Until
    this is completed, the second liberation will not have happened.
    More specifically, this refers to the constitutional review process.
    And, at this point I would want to address the delegates preparing
    for Bomas III on January 12, 2004.

    It is my hope that you have had time to reflect on the issues at
    hand in Bomas III. We are also told that the politicians have spent
    this long break to bribe you. In my view you should take the bribes
    and use the money to enjoy your Christmas. You must realise at this
    point that you are involved in politics and that in this game there
    is no morality. As such, you should have fun on someone else’s
    account! However, when it comes to voting, you must reject
    the ”bribe givers” and vote for the country.

    This is important because of the following reasons. If the second
    liberation had two phases, the first phase of replacing the
    leadership had to be carried out by 3.1 million voters. Replacing Mr
    Moi and his cronies was in my view the easy part. The second phase
    is the tough one. And this is where you come in. You are only 600
    people, and the future of our country depends on you.
    I have two questions for you at this point. One, as you vote for
    issues, will you be thinking of your ”tribal chief” or your
    children? In my view, your tribe is your children. If you make a
    constitution for your children, you will have made a constitution
    for Kenya.

    Two, consider the question of the Prime Minister’s post. And the
    question to you is this: If this post had been created before the
    2002 elections, do you think President Kibaki would have ”trashed”
    the MoU? Do you think he would have put his portrait on our currency
    and retained corrupt ministers in his Cabinet? If the answer to
    these questions is no, then the cure to the ”institutional cancer”
    in the presidency is the creation of this post. Do think about it!
    The second possible way out of civil strife has to do with the
    Kikuyu. Now that the presidency has returned to the ”House of
    Mumbi”, some people from the community are convinced that it is
    there to stay. In my view, this kind of thinking is retrogressive
    and could result in ethnic animosity.Kikuyus should come to terms
    with the possibility that they could lose the presidency in 2007. As
    such, they should do two things: One, ”bank” with the other
    communities. This is important because they cannot survive alone in
    future. Two, they should disown the Kikuyu ”sharks” in the Kibaki
    government.

    Unless they do so, the entire community will be blacklisted simply
    on account of a few people. In future, a Kikuyu presidential
    candidate would be rejected because of the misdeeds of isolated
    people. My submission therefore is: They should not support this
    regime blindly!

    After years of pretending everything is okay the wall is finally beginning to tumble. I ask all of you my brothers and sisters when we p ick machetes against each in the names of people like Raila and Kibaki knowing fully well that we are fighting their war not ours. I have read with concern how many are hurting that their voices read “votes” do not matter and perhaps this is where the citizens must be reeducated …….your votes have never really matter you vote but the decisions to gorvern your lives are never your own. We are conduits for the spoilt brats who think that it is their birthright to be presidents to get what they want. They use me and you , cheat us that our vernacular language and culture is such a grave difference and try to use it to blind us. So we pick machetes and turn on each other. Yet the reality we are not each other’s problem. We are friends, lovers and family. Am the friend you call , the one you garb politics with and just love to be with. Am that stranger you smile at and I smile back am the one who you think’s child is so cute. Most importantly am just like you am struggling. They say things are better, but like you I can bearly pay my bills. My children are home all the time because of school fees. My son did well and like yours is now a youth hooligan for a few shillings he does not mind to gut another Kenyan down. It troubles my heart as it does yours. It is not my tribe neither is it yours. We have both chosen wrong leaders. We have both acted like it doesn’t matter until now when our country is burning and there is not even one person who is capable to bring all this madness to a halt with the interest of all Kenyans not just their own. We have a leadership vacuum in Kenya and am afraid my friend it will cost. Again am not your enemy am Wanjiru, Atieno, Kalecha, Neema,Nkirote, Amina, Tish, Maryanna, Cathy, Abigail am a KENYAN. LET PEACE PREVAIL.

    Finally Kibaki visits the areas affected by violence. Looks at his facial expressions once he saw the outcome of the violence:

  • Anne

    the rigging of the elections is just the icing on the cake. Kibaki’s govt has for the last 5 years been stealing and hiding under the disguise of ‘development records”. Lets just recap a small fraction of the dubious activities surrounding Kibaki

    1)the Artur brothers activities were never revealed even after spending millions on a commision to inquire their activities. These guys are involved in drug trafficking. One of the Artur brothers is Winnie Mwai’s husband and smuggling of goods worth millions into the country without incurring duty and customs formalities.

    2)Lucy Kibaki is a major shareholder in equity bank and just recently before the elections Equity Bank was given exemption to disclose its shareholders. Why? because they fear their ill-gotten wealth may be questioned.

    3) anglo-leasing scandal and 18 other scandals cost billions of shillings-fake promissory notes were made out to non-existent companies in Europe . Check out http://www.marsgroupkenya.org

    4) wanton waste of Kenyan tax payers money through enormous salary payments to MPs and other government appointees like Alfred Mutua who make over 1million kshs per month, yet all they do is stand in front of blaring cameras and lie to Kenyans week after week.

    5) the raid on Standard and KTN offices cost them millions in damaged equipment and the Kibaki government was un apologetic

    6) Evidence to show involvment of Kibaki MPs and other government officials such as senior police officers with the dreaded mungiki sect was swept under the carpet.

    Can we really trust a government that steals votes and denies the public their constitutional right of picking their leaders of choice? Can they manage our revenue, taxes? Can they offer protection for their citizens through the police??

  • My only question is…..what are we going to do about this?

  • As seeking for a time for finding a great read dealing with this specific niche . Searching in Yahoo and google I finally spotted this site.
