The People Of Kenya Will Never Give Up!

Jamii wants to take this opportunity to send condolences to the families of the late MPs David Were and David Kimutai who were assassinated for protected the Kenyan people. They are Heroes of Democracy and their dreams will never die. Their physical body is gone but their dreams are still with us. May God Bless Their Souls.

Having said the above, pressure continues to pile on the illegitimate regime in Kenya as we witness senseless killings of innocent people. It is now emerging that the ODM MPs are being executed to minimize the command in the parliament. Their number has been reduced by two and that means two vote are gone. Mungiki “army men” are actually all over the country and they have full protection of the police. Western, Riftvalley and Nyanza people cannot pass through Naivasha because the Mungiki thugs are all over.  At the rate things are going, we may be headed for a military solution. We are made to understand that Kibaki and his ilk had to seek the assistance of Mungiki and Museveni amry when the Kenya army defied orders to go out of the barracks and quell the civil unrest.

However, on the other hand, the pro-ODM army units who are a majority must wake up and save our country.  Raila is most popular presidential material among the military ranks and police and I don’t see why people are suffering when a solution is on the table. The development of inviting Uganda army into Kenya must irked the Kenya army so much and it must be one point for which they may never forgive Kibaki and a need to take position.

The Kibaki group was counting on the US support militarily and diplomatically, but with shifting of alliances and the firm position taken by the US government, they are feeling lost. The Law Society of Kenya and the Kenya Human Rights Commission must continue pressurizing Kibaki especially in raising the issues relating to illegality of Kibaki being in
office.

When Raila talks of a civilian coup de tat, many do not fathom the weightiness of that statement. Kibaki and his ilk should know he is in quicksand. Kenya is experiencing the biggest travesty of the law like no other day in our Kenyan history. Should the East Africa Court have been well in place, in power and structure; these are the kinds of issues that such an institution would handle. (The Rigging of Kenya Elections 2007).

The Truth Will Set Kibaki And His Sympathizers Free.

My name is Kipkemoi arap Kirui, 40 years on January 24th. I am a Clerk Assistant at the National Assembly working at the Table Office. I am a lawyer. This is my statement of activities that took place at the Electoral Commission of Kenya’s National Election Centre at the Kenyatta International Conference, Nairobi in December 2007 during the nomination and voting exercise.  I am writing this statement on January 2, 2008 in hiding. I am not able to lay my hands on a number of documents which would provide further evidence of the irregularities that I witnessed during the vote tallying exercise. Sometimes late in November 2007, after I proceeded on my annual leave, I received telephone and later written instructions from Principal Clerk, Mrs. Consolata Munga, on behalf of the Clerk of the National Assembly assigning me duties at the Electoral Commission of Kenya to assist in the General Elections Nomination Exercise and later at the National Tallying Centre after the voting was concluded. The nomination exercise was orderly. At least at the ECK nominations processing centre. I was in charge of Coast and Nairobi. Though I was apprehensive about Lang’ata and Kamukunji constituencies, the exercise went on smoothly. On December 19, 2007 I got another phone call from Mr. Mutungi a colleague from the National Assembly Hansard Department asking me to report at the KICC. He told me that I had been assigned the duties of a Team Leader of Team II (Night Duty). I was at my home in Western Kenya. I took a bus the next day for Nairobi. I arrived the same evening and reported at the KICC National Tallying Centre. Work had not started. So I proceeded to my residence to rest. I reported to work early on December 21st and found a slow briefing process going on. The officers in charge of staff were a Mr. Simon Njoroge Inegene (a nice gentleman I later learned was a Human Resource Officer with the ECK, and effectively in charge of staff at the venue temporarily hired by ECK for the election exercise), and others were Mr. Njogu, Mr. Laichena, Mr. Koech and Mr. Chepsat who I never got to interact with so much except in their course of issuing instructions. They took us through some briefing. The staffs at the National Tallying Centre were largely school leavers and students in colleges in town. They were handpicked by officials from ECK. The briefing process was haphazard and wanting in many ways. Recruitment of staff continued until the eve of the Election Day. Duties: I was made the Deputy Team Leader of Team II (Night) under a Mr. Chris Musyoka. Things later changed and a Mr. Malonza was posted. He never stayed long and a Mr. Njuguna was posted as Team Leader. At one time on the night of 28th Mr. Njuguna admitted to the team that he did not understand what he was expected to do. He asked that I assist. I was already apprehensive because around this time, a number of my colleagues who were in other teams were smelling mischief. We went round whispering. It was tense. We were expected to make calls to Returning Officers (ROs) to start receiving preliminary results where vote counting had been concluded. For the Presidential Elections, the ROs must deliver physical copies of the statutory declarations. The ROs are not empowered to vary results declared at the tallying level. Most of the ROs had been allocated satellite phones, mobile phones and adequate airtime for the exercise.. They also had Fax machines. Each Team at the KICC also had five telephone/fax lines. The process was supposed to be smooth. We were supposed to have received the preliminary results by midnight. I was in charge of Galole, Bura, Lamu West, Lamu East, Taveta, Wundanyi, Mwatate, Voi, Dujis, Lagdera, Fafi, Ijara, Wajir North, Wajir South, Wajir West, Wajir East, Mandera West, Mandera East, Moyale, North Horr , Saku and Laisamis constituencies as a Deputy Team Leader (Night). On the night of the 28th we sat for long hours without any call from the Returning Officers. We attempted to call them one by one. There were 21 constituencies under my charge. There was no response until about five in the morning when some who sounded sleepy and uncooperative refused to give any information saying they had nothing to give. They would then hang up. Some rendered themselves completely unreachable. I left work at 7.00 am. Concerned. I left the Hall to find strong General Service Unit (GSU) police officers within the building on every floor and outside the building arranged a metre a part round City Hall Way, Parliament Road, Harambee Avenue and Taifa Road. They had sophisticated weapons, namely, powerful machine guns, grenades and teargas canisters. [It was a scene of tension building up typical of what I saw in the famous movies 'Hotel Rwanda and '100 Days'. I must also indicate here that I had accompanied officials of the KNCHR and Kenyan Members of Parliament to Rwanda in 2004 on what I regarded as a 'pilgrimage to conscience'.. I still went back to Rwanda in 2006. I decided to commit myself to the course of human rights and justice]. I went to sleep. I did not have a wink. I watched the news coming in in consternation. The results were coming in too slowly. I took some light lunch and proceeded to work at 5.00 pm.. I never used my car. Matatus were hard to come by. So I left early. I alighted at the Times Tower bus stage and walked up the few metres to KICC Harambee Avenue gate. It was barricaded by the GSU. I was asked to go round to the City Hall Way gate. It took me around twenty minutes to get through the GSU stops and questioning (This would ordinarily take a minute). I got to the office at 7.15pm. December 29th. It was tense. The day staff had left in a huff. Never handed over to me. They handed over to my new Team Leader. Constituencies received: Lamu East, Lamu West, Wundanyi and Dujis. The statutory documents Forms 16A, 17 and 17A did not accompany them. I refused to deal with them. For most of the night, we kept calling the ROs. The Ijara, Galole, Wundanyi and Dujis statutory documents were never received at all. Why? The Day Team Leaders responsible did not sign for receiving them. They left it to us. Form 16As had not arrived. There was word going round that we do not accept results without Form 16A because my colleagues doubted the incoming data. Work stopped until around midnight when one sleepy looking guy was ushered in. He was from Moyale. He started with a quick doze. He did not have his Forms 16A, 17 and 17A. I asked him to rest while I consulted. I talked to a Mr. Chepsat who advised that I do not receive the results. I did not. Hours later Chairman Kivuitu would be going public with Moyale results. After Moyale, we received Saku and Laisamis. No Forms 16A, 17 and 17A again. I refused to receive them. My Team Leader went ahead to receive them nonetheless. ECK Chairman went ahead to announce them. The figures were in a number of instances overstated. I was perturbed. There is no reason why the ROs did not get back to us with the statutory documents three days after the vote tallying at the constituency. My colleagues informed me of reduction and suppression of results in some constituencies. This is when I raised the alarm. I hit the roof. I pulled my Team Leader Mr. Njuguna aside and I started by saying “My brother, this is an important national exercise. I am concerned that we are not following the law and we are letting down Kenyans …” He told me that he was recommending to his bosses that I be removed because I was proving difficult. He actually went ahead to report me to a Mr. Koech who dismissed him and asked him to cooperate and work with me. He went back to the work station. I came back to find him addressing the team members. I informed them that I regarded the work we were doing as an important national exercise and it demanded patriotism and a non partisan approach to issues. I told him that I demanded his respect and cooperation. He said I should leave if I so wished. I left in a huff… I feared for my life. I never took the matter up with ECK Commissioners.

Njoro Comments: Kenya’s Polling History & Integrity – Kenya’s Solution for Peace and Harmony.

Lydia you are speaking wisdom and direction we need to take extra care at this time when our unity is so threatened. Your analysis is biblical and true. Caution should be evident on the way forward with what is happening in Kenya now. We have the perfect opportunity to make or break. We will be held accountable before God if the choice or decisions we will take now will end up in more bloodshed, hatred, violence, destruction etc. We have to take individual responsibility and determine in our hearts to do something positive that will turnaround the scenarios we are seeing. Some of us are highly gifted in this kind of stuff and are doing nothing about it. Both leaders in Kenya will have to lead all tribes not some. They need support from every Kenyan to succeed. By dividing us they will have, half support.   Many people are now very angry and pained at what has happened to their loved ones. We can only pray to the Almighty God to soften their hearts that there will be no revenge. God to flood their hearts with rivers of forgiveness. This can only be done by God. The devil will never rest until chaos occurs. He is now busy preaching negative impulses to us. His work is to steal, kill and destroy. Let us love Kenya enough to fore go our pain. If pain is handled positively it bears life. Jesus endured pain and became a slave and now we have free gift of Salvation.   I concur with Lydia and I quote below when she says that maybe our future potential president was killed in the violence that has rocked our country. Our backgrounds don’t matter if God has purposed to use someone.   “What about the children of Kenya, don’t they have a part to play in nation building?  Why kill them in bloodshed instead of ensuring their security as future leaders and citizens of tomorrow?  Don’t we know that the untimely death of one innocent child can cost a nation great loss?  The potential invested in a child like that can never be realized again.  Leaders must know that without these children then there are no potentials for tomorrow’s leadership.  Could it be that Kenya is now paying the price of such losses in her desperate search for a potential leader?  Could it be that we lost some of our potential presidents at childhood at some point in time either through bloodshed or abortion?  Probably this is why we are unable to establish a good leader for ourselves.  Until and unless we acknowledge the need for the safety and well being of our children it will be impossible to progress.  In every generation there is always one with leadership potential even though we may not know who it is.”   We know in the bible that some historic leaders had to be hidden by their parents from being murdered. Some examples are Moses and Jesus. If Moses had been killed by pharaoh when the Jews boys were killed, Israelites would have died in Captivity. If Mary and Joseph Jesus’ parents did not run away from Herod, maybe we would not have been saved from the bondage of sin and eternal death! Let us return to God in repentance and plead with God to heal our Land. Let’s not be partisan B. Njoroge.

Chairman CCM Sweden: Thank you ODM brethren for sending home Savior!

When a tree stops producing fruits or to be precise, when a tree never produces any fruits, you do according to what the Holy Scriptures says. Matthew 3:10. The waiting was long but the dream is realized. I take this moment to share great relief and freedom to have been freed from this “BUSH” that produced no fruits. I am happy that it was done by the ballot and that we only send him home. I send my sincere regards to every single member of ODM and all Allies for sending home fellow brother Savior. I also congratulate Merende and his assistant Mr Maalim Farah for a well done job. I hope he,(Savior who never been) is not going to be NOMINATED. There are times when products are not recyclable and I am so sad to see this  happening in my own family. In the gone past, 1987, the whole Mukogodo cried when he lost his parliamentary seat. Later, he was nominated. My mother was the Chairlady of the Munipisha Ntoiche women group who were the main campaigners in the whole region. Part of Laikipia East was in tears for loosing one Agwambo who was to be a real Savior. It was very sentimental and painful to hear the news about his defeat. In 1993, he made it to top! He was blessed with a chair with these effective characteristics for MAXIMUM-ORRDDEERR!!! IN-DA-HOUSE; to make or to break. My fellow warrior chose to make the house of the Capitalist and break the hut/Manyattas of the common man. He forgot his background and history. He became like a lone buffalo in the Jungle. He was untouchable. This time around, my mother and the Munipicha women group will cry tears of joy and relief. They will not sing the same praise songs to their son fighting in a “world far away from theirs”, with “foreigners” who lives in a mysterious world called Nairobi. Now, they are praising God for a new morning a new horizon and a new SON. This time, the son is not from their own village but from another one, apparently belonging to them, though located far away from theirs. This Il-laikipiak  Maasai women will see a new world that has always been in their own country. A world where sons of other women bring home “Unga “and a “Jerry Can”(food and water) of water to mothers in the villages despite them not coming from the same village. GREAT JOY THAT HE IS FALLEN FOR GOOD. Sleep well bull. Thank you Mum for voting wise and thank you Munipicha for letting him go. Maasaiwarrior, is a little boy who followed his mother and big boys campaigning for Kaparo in 1987. When the environment is right, he is also regarded as a blood relative to the fallen STAR!! With her beautiful voice, Mum used to hypnotize us with the name of the fallen bull spread out in the lyrics of her music. Maasai! A changing people Ole Ngais Tells GK Putunoi “Saviour”! Go back to active politics. The people of Laikipia are prepare to receive the President of Kenya in Mukogodo division. I have read your remarks on Hon. Kaparo  By Godfrey Kampan Putunoi   Saidimu Ole Ngais

Kenya’s Polling History.

The ‘kick in’and ‘kick out’ polling system exercised in our last two general elections cannot work for a God fearing nation.  It is not democracy at all.  It is not by how desperate we need change of power that determines who is a good leader, but by how patient we are in allowing God to initiate good change for us.  Rome was not built in a day.  Change is paramount in every society but must come at the right time and with the right personnel.  During the last days in office and prior to stepping down of our former president Moi, Kenya has continued to live by the mercies of God in having to sustain peace, love and unity.  A motto held by the previous regime despite mistakes made here and there.  It is apparent to mention that Kenya has no president at all.  Mr Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga are good Kenyan politicians with a patriotic spirit to see Kenya prosper economically and democratically respectively not necessarily in the office of presidency.  However, due to our persistent cry for change God heard our cry and enabled Kibaki to step in as was the case with Saul of the Bible.  Kibaki is a well educated and one of the longest serving economists Kenya boasts of in her history only betrayed by a corrupt spirit that has held Kenya captive for a long time.  Once a finance minister, a vice president and now a president with experience on the Kenyan government with economic strengths does not mean the best president but at least one that can hold place until we have the right candidate from God.  Since people count first, people leadership must count first and so combining financial economy and people economy from a people approach leadership style lacking in any form of experience requires a childlike attitude which has little to do with intellectual powers.  During the last five years in office, President Kibaki has proved himself capable of such a characteristic and needs to be given space and time to nurture this growing baby in him.  This is a step forward worthy of recommendation towards better leadership.  The worst we can do is to kill the chic before it is hatched.  Childlikeness is a leadership quality if well practiced its fruits are more productive than destructive.  The integrity of our leaders is what will deliver Kenya from every mess whether from a literacy or illiteracy perspective.  All said and done the fact that Mr. Mwai Kibaki has found himself in office for a second term does not mean the doom of Kenya.  It means that Kenya does not yet have someone ripe enough as we desire to take over the leadership affairs of Kenya with all fear and reverence to Supreme power.  It is not our level of desperation in demonstrating our frustrations that moves God, but our integrity in pledging our national independent loyalty in nation building as demonstrated by those who have exercised it to the extent that they have gained for themselves both national and continental prestige. Scanning through the list of the just concluded presidential candidates, it is apparent to mention that even those who are potentially capable in terms of integrity, stature and mannerism are not coming out yet to vie for the presidential seat.  One of the notable mannerisms Mr. Daniel Moi exhibited with integrity was wisdom for leadership.  He exercised authority and powers a symbol of one born to lead.  This means that a leader is born and not just elected.  Whereas Mr. Odinga demonstrates intellectual and democratic affluence good for nation building but without a solemn spirit it is void of power.  A leader of this nature leads better at backstage level where there is real work to be done.  Raila should not therefore limit his leadership contributions to a presidential position but remain content in whatever capacity he may hold as one of the most influential sons of Kenya.  His efforts and desire to see Kenya from a new perspective are highly appreciated by all Kenyans and he remains as one of Kenya’s historical figures in the struggle for eradication of corruption.  God sees all his efforts and He rewards those who diligently seek Him not based on our ways but His ways.  Apparently manipulation has taken control of backstage leadership in Kenya to the extent that leaders have lost value for this position which requires faithful individuals to hold.  No one seems to be interested with this noble place of leadership.  The Biwott omen has betrayed this office and left a lot to be desired.  Nevertheless dwelling on Biwott as a person will not help us much rather let us learn from his mistakes, forgive him and ask God to heal this office and restore the spirit of counsel upon individuals who should be advising our leaders truthfully.  Let us rather instead of fault finding leave that to God and seek for recovery of the integrity of backstage leadership and render service faithfully to our beloved country.  We must understand that the president alone cannot serve Kenya effectively.  His main task is to simply take authority and exercise presidential powers bestowed upon him to oversee the welfare of the whole nation with wisdom and justice.  Is it sane for us at this juncture to let Mr President take office and begin to administer duty effectively?  Is it not true that if we don’t let him commence duty then it is thirst for power with evil hidden agenda?  If it is true that Biwott had strong grips over Moi’s regime where then are the good Biwotts of now sleeping who instead of manipulation will be determined to render the right services?  This is a sensitive task and those seeking to undertake it must be sincere and faithful Kenyans who have no motives for revenge.  Anyone with a revengeful mind cannot lead at this level because this can only lead to worse circumstances instead of better.  Vengeance cannot be exercised from a human point of view but from a sole Supreme power.  May God jealously guard and appoint good counselors for Kenya.  Fellow Kenyans it is time to arise in the spirit of forgiveness and repentance from evil and admit that we have all failed duty to our country in one way or the other: whether as a politician or mere citizen.  Such integrity will usher in a new era of love, peace and unity a spirit we once held as a foundation for nation building.  It is absolutely necessary to renew our minds to the realization that this ‘motto’ is not a Moi thing but a Kenyan spirit we should never loose.  Children of Kenya What about the children of Kenya, don’t they have a part to play in nation building?  Why kill them in bloodshed instead of ensuring their security as future leaders and citizens of tomorrow?  Don’t we know that the untimely death of one innocent child can cost a nation great loss?  The potential invested in a child like that can never be realized again.  Leaders must know that without these children then there are no potentials for tomorrow’s leadership.  Could it be that Kenya is now paying the price of such losses in her desperate search for a potential leader?  Could it be that we lost some of our potential presidents at childhood at some point in time either through bloodshed or abortion?  Probably this is why we are unable to establish a good leader for ourselves.  Until and unless we acknowledge the need for the safety and well being of our children it will be impossible to progress.  In every generation there is always one with leadership potential even though we may not know who it is.  Who ever knew that Moi will ever rise up to the position of president and the longest serving president of Kenya given the poor circumstances he grew under.  What about the likes of Bishop Margaret Wanjiru who grew up from grass to grace and the list is endless.  The fact that some children live and are raised in poor environments with almost impossible means of survival does not mean that they are not entitled to the gift of life and security.  We have no idea who those children will be in the Kenya of tomorrow and have no rights under all costs to terminate their innocent lives.  They are entitled to all forms of security and rights whether they dwell in the slams, streets, countryside or the big cities.  Invading and destroying their only private places of domain and habitation be it in a paper, ‘mabati’ or wooden structure is illegal by the constitutional law of nature.  This is one of the crimes our leaders need to repent from.  People’s homes deserve maximum respect and approach even if the invasion is by military command.  The military of Kenya and other African countries must know this virtue if it is not taught in their military schools.  The approach must be honorable and not revengeful as displayed in the recent attacks especially of those in the slam areas.  The home is the only place one can find safety and protection when the government is in disarray.  Have our leaders lost mercy to the point that we do not even care about the basic below income scales the slum dwellers earn in ‘jua kali’ and other hard but low paying jobs in order to just provide a daily meal for their families leave alone comfort.  It is with this same approach that the poor cannot give the rich rest in their homes too by continuously harassing them through thefts and robberies.  It is as if we have mastered in creating trouble for ourselves. Is it possible to treat people right if we want to enjoy the safety of our own country?.  The rough and inhuman military approach is a reflection of an angry and revengeful nation more than a peace seeking nation.  If this is what we have for security then we are in trouble.  Is there not any military etiquette in handling national violence to restore peace?  Whatever goes on in the military camps must be examined thoroughly for a secure Kenya of tomorrow.  God needs our 100% cooperation in order to establish His counsel for us.  All children deserve good amenities socially, academically, medically and economically to be provided in their areas essential for nurturing their full potential upbringing and realization.  This is what our leaders must be working to achieve.  Please stop killing our children and support their lives.  Enough is enough.  There is no better life we can give to these children than to invest in their overall future well being for better nation building.  Let it be that God will not turn away His ears from us until we awaken to the call for love and care of these young helpless ones.  All leaders in their different capacities are of equal value none is better than the other.  The president is not better than the sub-chief neither is a minister better than a back bencher.  Each is of equal potential in nation building.  It is how well one chooses to administer duty in their respective offices showing commitment to the people with all humility and honesty and not to meet their own selfish needs as has been the case before.  The New Parliament God has already effected numerous positive changes for us by flooding the government with newly freshly elected members of parliament with opposition numbering a majority.  So which other victory is Raila and other Kenyans still engaged in violence looking for.  The point is that whether from opposition or not everyone has an equal opportunity to serve Kenya.  Those with a hidden agenda will be exposed and justly eliminated with time.  Complaining is a strategy of the devil and God hates it.   Let us calm down our hot tempers and make peace with one another as a sign of integrity.  Recovering our sober minds will open our eyes to see all these changes and begin to appreciate and praise God for this great deliverance.  I presuppose that Mr Raila should have been one of the most grateful Kenyans to see that what he has been fighting for has already been achieved atleast 80% during these elections.  It is time for all of us to settle down to the leadership of Mwai Kibaki and learn to work together.  When Raila and Kibaki held their unity among others during the early stages of multipartism they were able to achieve much.  It is advisable for hon. Raila to quit cheap politics of making unpredictable moves from time to time from party to party as he did in the previous regime.  Although done with good intentions but it is ethically wrong a move predicting traits of a betrayer.  This should be avoided for his own integrity.  Rather work towards recovering trustworthiness, reliability and honesty in the heart of a serious Mwananchi casting his or her vote with sincerity.  Perhaps this was the cutting edge between his votes and Mr. Kibaki’s.  Wisdom demands that one makes one firm dedicated stand in serving the interests of the people as a way of preserving our already gained independence.  Let us turn away from every wickedness and endeavour to pledge our loyalty to the people and nation of Kenya in our solemn spirit of love, peace and unity to the glory of God the Father. This is an awakening call for all Kenyans to mend and put back our garment of praise we have lost and wherever you are as a child of Kenya or one who loves the people of Kenya help us in one voice to echo these words of praise to our Creator who has apportioned Kenya for us.  On behalf of Kenya please take a moment and pray these words which will open the way for healing and restoration of Kenya from this day and forevermore.  “Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplication.  Forgive us of all our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.  We praise You and love You for all You have done for Kenya.  We acknowledge You are Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Thanks be to Your holy name” AMEN. Lydiah Mukasa
