The Kenyan Wife Beater Is Free Now!

A Stockholm-area self-proclaimed Kenyan politician has been freed from Swedish custody after being arrested on Friday for beating his wife. The Kenyan man who resides in Sweden is popular in many ways among Kenyans in this region. The man is a very decent Kenyan in character and it is surprising to many people why he sunk that low.

The “Politician” has been a front runner in crusade against women beating and has supported many people in different ways. It is not clear what triggered him to turn his aggression to his wife after struggling for many years to bring her here. Many Kenyans are left in suspense of what happened to the man many admired before the beating.

The suspect was arrested on Friday in connection with blowing and practicing physical fitness on his wife for several times. It is believed that the woman was injured seriously in the attack by the husband. The Swedish police were called to the scene at their home in the Stockholm area where they found the alleged aggressor with his seriously injured wife. He was taken to the police custody and released on Sunday.

A source told Jamii that this is not the first time the aggressor has beaten the innocent woman. The source said that the victim has frequently been beaten in the past, but top advisers to the family manipulated her not to press charges against the self-made politician. Some good Samaritans who knew the story for a period of time were banned to advice the wife, causing continuous beating in the darkness. On Friday last week it was a D-day for the victim forcing her to call for help from the Swedish police.

This follows a recent incident where another young Kenyan man who used to be a blogger punched his ex-partner forcing the young victim to call the police to take care of the situation. In most cases, it is when trying to end a violent relationship that women are most likely to be seriously injured or even murdered. Most victims are regularly murdered because no one spoke out in time. Jamii is appealing to Pastor Beartice Kamau and her VOW organization to step up and save this innocent people. Kenyans too can help by condemning the aggressors and helping both the victims and the family in general.

What is new in wife beating among Kenyans in Sweden is that it is no longer widely accepted as an inevitable and private matter. Kenyan men who are still in the game are being warned that their time is up. In this country, you can face serious problems if you beat women. A good thing is that many Kenyans have changed their attitudes towards women and this has come about as part of the profound transformation of ideas about the roles and rights of women in our society.

Grass-roots women’s organizations like Voice Of Women (VOM) led by Pastor Beatrice Kamau have begun to redefine spouse abuse as a violation of the victim’s civil rights and a criminal act of assault subject to the same punishments as other acts of violence. Bringing it out into the open by talking about it is the first step toward a solution. All progressive Kenyans and friends must condemn the women beaters in the strongest terms. The suspected politician must know that fighting is the lowest level of management and if you cannot manage the smallest unit of leadership which is a family, don’t make unnecessary noise about changing Kenya when you cannot manage you home.

The man has a long way to go now since he has shown to the whole world his barbaric nature. However, he still has time to reform and I hope Kenyans and friends can lend a hand to restore peace and love in the mentioned family.

Hongera Bwana Okoth Osewe!

The book, “Raila Odinga’s Stolen Presidency: Consequences And The Future Of Kenya” by Mr.framsida_jpeg1 Okoth Osewe, takes the position that Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, the Presidential candidate of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), won the December 2007 election in Kenya before agents working for Party of National Unity (PNU) stole the vote and installed Mr. Mwai Kibaki as President of Kenya at a secret ceremony at State House Nairobi.

The book gives a detailed account of Raila’s quest for Kenya’s Presidency over the years and pin-points why Hon. Mwai Kibaki, PNU’s Presidential candidate, lost election to Hon. Raila Odinga. The book walks the reader through the intricate and extra-ordinary process of the December 2007 election rigging and examines ECK and other documents related to election results to arrive at the conclusion that Raila won the vote.

The book, which is well researched and which runs over 350 pages, forms compact reading and Mr. Osewe hooks the reader on the subject matter with an engaging writing style as he seeks to provide a deeper insight into the stealing of Raila Odinga’s Presidency and to demolish the concept that the December 2007 Presidential election in Kenya was not rigged in favor of Kibaki.

It is a significant contribution and forms interesting reading to anybody seeking to deepen understanding on Kenya’s dodgy election which plunged the country into crisis, leading to the deaths of an estimated 1,500 Kenyans, wanton destruction of property and the creation of more than 350,000 internal refugees across the country.

Hon. Purity Muhindi blocks Kenyan MPs From meeting Kenyans.

Hon. Purity Muhindi did it again! This time, it didn’t come as a surprise because many Kenyans were expecting it to be that way. Majority of Kenyans in Sweden have given up on her and they don’t count her as the ambassador of the Kenyans in Scandinavia rather than an ambassador to a selected group of sycophants who worships her with hopes that “when the next one comes I will be on the list”. She has aligned herself with a selected group of Kenyans in this region and the majorities are seen as alcoholics.

Kenyans are alcoholic.

Hon. Purity Muhindi believes that majority of Kenyans in Sweden are alcoholics. This is not true. According to my understanding, people don’t drink because they are hopeless; they do so for many other factors. Given the fact that alcohol is affordable in Sweden even to the homeless is not enough evidence to put all Kenyans in the same bracket of alcoholics.  She has no reason to block Kenyans form accessing to the people they elected. The astonishing thing is that we still have people in the name of politicians who are bold, courageous and brave enough to entertain such thoughts and manipulations from Purity Muhindi. We as Kenyans in Sweden are expected to continue paying allegiance to them with respect. NO WAY.

Kenyans are hardworking people.

I have seen many hardworking Kenyans here in Stockholm. Kenyans like Mzee Martin Ngatia works like a young man. He is a very organized politician and he speaks his mind, Mzee Nashon Mbogua is a hardworking Kenyan, Clay Onyango the businessman, Adiwa another businessman, Soffia Njoroge a businesslady, Elizabeth another successful businesslady, many good Kenyan students and on top now is Jared Odero doing his PHDs, we have Mwalimu Osore, Pastor Beatrice Kamau, builders like Midenyo Changa, senior cooks like Mzee William, Mzee Kip Senior driver, many Kenyan nurses working here in Sweden, Daniel Mwaura, Jamlik, Mberi, Ken Aroka very responsible people, good “bloggers” like Mr. Osewe, Clay and Munala, the list is so long I cannot finish it.

I condemn the thoughts and believe of Purity Muhindi and her manipulated officials from Kenya. I still wonder why our politicians can come all the way from Kenya to be manipulated by someone who was not elected by Kenyans. I write not only to condemn the officials but also those who entertain and create the environment where such stuff can be conducted. This issue not only needs to be given the needed attention but calls for an emergency sort of treatment by all progressive Kenyans who reside in this region.

Since Purity Muhindi came to Sweden, she has never stopped amazing Kenyans in Stockholm.  Two weeks ago, she managed to manipulate some of the highest-ranking government officials to evade talking to Kenyans in Stockholm. The astonishing thing is that among the officials who visited Sweden were senior cabinet ministers. As an MP who was elected by the Kenyan people, it is our right to see them and talk to them about the issues that affect the common Kenyan.

Their gutless way of avoiding Kenyans shows that they are very corrupt and they are avoiding to be questioned by level minded Kenyans like Mzee Martin Ngatia, Sofia Njoroge and people like Changa Midinyo. It is shameful for an MP from Kenya to be manipulated by an ambassador. This incident shows clearly, that some people in the Government of Kenya are afraid that Kenyans knows them well and they want to ask them to be accountable. They are in a frightening situation because they know we know that they are not responsible in carrying out their duties. They are right to worry, time will tell.

There is one way out of this, Kenyan people in Scandinavia must continue with the struggle directly to stop this madness. Unfortunately, there are signs that some Kenyans are not taking these matters serious. If you have a trained brain, you will easily see that Kenya as a nation, last year spent over Ksh 6 million per day every day of the year on foreign travel. It was shocking nevertheless to learn that even during the height of the post-election crisis, high level delegations of civil servants were still attending international conventions as if nothing was going on in Kenya.

Who pays for the above, me and you plus already poor overburdened taxpayers back home? Are you satisfied with this situation? The old hyenas are busy tearing us apart for their opportunist agendas. Let us wake up and say enough to this. Many Kenyans have paid the ultimate price, to the extent of exchange with their own lives. They want to defend our growing democracy. What are we supposed to say when the very people that told us last year that they gonna represent us goes on to hide under Muhindi’s umbrella? Kenyans in Sweden are great people and for Purity to believe that Kenyans are alcoholics, I feel sorry for her and her advisers. We are hard working people in this country and you will be shocked if check-out with the tax office in Stockholm.

For politicians who have been visiting Sweden and avoiding meeting Kenyans, they have shown us that they are anti-people and now Purity Muhindi has reduced them into prisoners of her political ambitions. Their interests have shifted from the Kenyan people to serving an individual at the Kenyan embassy in Sweden. Their focus has changed from poor Kenyans to elites. They have chosen to listen to one ambassador who has a narrow knowledge about Kenyans in Stockholm. What they are forgetting is that she does not control our votes and voices. If you have your political bible Mr. politician, please open the book of Moody verse Biwott chapter Nyachae to Moi’s sons. God bless you.
