Oketch Salah, widely known as Raila’s adopted son, has broken his silence as claims swirl that he disrespected and undermined the Odinga family. The accusations emerged amid growing wrangles inside the ODM party and quickly took a political tone. Salah now says the claims are false, malicious, and driven by internal power fights. He insists he never insulted Mama Ida or Raila Odinga’s children. Instead, he says rivals want to rewrite history, exploit grief, and damage his name for political gain. Oketch Salah stands firm against false claims, defending Raila Odinga’s legacy. He rejects political smears, vows truth, and warns ODM rivals against exploiting family grief for power, unity, or personal gain. Raila’s Adopted Son Speaks Out Against Political Smear Campaign Oketch Salah says he chose calm over anger when accusations targeted him. He explains that the claims did not reflect truth or respect. According to him, the allegations aimed to paint him as a threat to the Odinga family legacy. He rejects that image completely.

Salah states that he never sought to replace anyone in Raila Odinga’s family. He says he never sidelined or insulted Mama Ida or Raila’s children. He calls every claim suggesting otherwise a lie built to poison public opinion.

He insists he responded because the accusations carried his name. He says silence allowed lies to spread. Still, he maintains that he spoke with restraint to avoid deepening pain within a grieving family.

“I have never claimed to replace Baba’s family,” Salah said. “I never disrespected Mama Ida or his children. Any suggestion that I insulted or sidelined them is false and malicious.”

Salah stresses that his presence in Raila Odinga’s life came with full consent. He says Raila allowed him to be present knowingly and consistently. He denies forcing himself into private spaces or moments.

He explains that his closeness to Raila did not happen in secrecy. He says it happened openly and with approval. According to Salah, Raila’s trust guided every interaction. Salah Defends His Presence in Raila Odinga’s Final Days Salah maintains that he stood by Raila Odinga during his final moments. He says their discussions covered personal matters, politics, and strategy. However, he refuses to disclose details. He says respect and dignity guide his silence.

He explains that many misread his silence as guilt or fear. He rejects that view. He says he stayed quiet because he respected Raila and his family. He did not want to turn private moments into public debate.

Salah admits that Raila shared sensitive views with him. He says Raila spoke about the country and the future of ODM. Still, he insists that sharing such information does not mean he sought attention or sympathy.

He also addresses claims that he boasted about holding secrets that Raila shared with no one else. He says critics twisted his words. He insists he never used those conversations to elevate himself politically.

Salah warns against using Raila’s death to score political points. He says some actors want to weaponize grief. He says others want to rewrite the story of Raila’s final days for their benefit.

He states clearly that he will not allow anyone to use him to spread false narratives. He says history should remain honest and grounded in truth. Raila’s Adopted Son Responds to ODM Tensions and Winnie Odinga Claims Salah also tackles claims linking him to ODM infighting. Critics accused him of attacking Raila’s daughter, Winnie Odinga, after remarks about party loyalty. He rejects that interpretation.

He explains that his comments targeted party discipline, not individuals. He says those unhappy with ODM’s cooperation with UDA under the broad-based government should speak openly or leave. He insists he never singled out Winnie Odinga.

Salah says political rivals rushed to frame his words as an attack on the Odinga family. He believes the move aimed to deepen divisions and weaken unity within ODM.

He further addresses controversy around his claims that Raila once accused ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna of acting as a mole. Salah insists he stated facts as he knew them. He says he did not seek sympathy or political mileage.

Despite the backlash, Salah says he does not fear scrutiny. He invites any credible media house to interview him publicly. He says transparency will expose lies and restore truth.

He ends with a firm message. He says respect for Raila Odinga’s legacy demands honesty. He says lies and political games dishonor that legacy. Raila’s adopted son insists he stands for truth, dignity, and respect amid ODM wrangles and rising political tension.

[PHOTO//WATU GARI] Car Financing Companies In Kenya You Can Trust Car financing companies in Kenya fall into four main groups. These include microfinance lenders, credit-only institutions, car dealerships, and banks. Each option suits a different type of buyer. Some focus on speed. Others focus on lower interest or higher loan amounts. Below is a detailed breakdown.

If you earn a salary and have payslips, banks may offer better rates. If you run a business or rely on Mpesa income, microfinance lenders work better. Always compare interest rates, repayment periods, and insurance costs. Read the contract carefully before signing.

@yobos · Oct 22

The Council of Governors (CoG) has called for an extraordinary meeting following the shocking remarks by Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga on the death of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Kahiga’s statements, which many have termed as insensitive and provocative, have drawn widespread condemnation from both the public and senior government officials. Speaking in Kikuyu during a public event, the governor claimed that Odinga’s death was a “blessing in disguise” for the Mt. Kenya region. He suggested that the government could now redirect national resources from Nyanza to Central Kenya. The remarks have been widely criticized as divisive, disrespectful, and unbefitting of a senior county leader. Kahiga made the controversial remarks on Tuesday evening during a burial ceremony in Laikipia County. His comments were captured on video and quickly circulated online, igniting a wave of public outrage. The Council’s meeting marks a critical moment for accountability in leadership, reminding public officials that words carry weight and that respect, even in politics, must remain a guiding principle. [Photo: Courtesy] Mutahi Kahiga’s Remarks Cause National Outrage In his speech, Kahiga stated that Odinga’s political partnership with President William Ruto had shifted government benefits toward Nyanza at the expense of other regions. “You can see what had been planned, but God brought something up. Now it’s total confusion. Everybody can see that. We did not harbour hate for anyone, but God came through for us,” Kahiga said. He went on to claim that “all goodies were being directed” to Nyanza because of political plans that excluded Central Kenya. “God came and brought this thing,” he added, referring to Odinga’s death. His words were immediately condemned by political leaders across the country. Members of the Cabinet, fellow governors, and Kenyans online accused Kahiga of showing no respect for the dead and of attempting to use tragedy for political mileage. Several leaders reminded the governor that Raila Odinga, despite political differences, had dedicated his life to the fight for democracy and justice in Kenya. They described his death as a national loss, not a regional victory. Council of Governors Disowns Mutahi Kahiga In a statement released on Tuesday evening, the Council of Governors distanced itself from Kahiga’s remarks, terming them “reckless, insensitive, sad and unfortunate.” The CoG Chairperson, Ahmed Abdullahi, announced that an urgent extraordinary meeting would be held on Wednesday, October 22, to deliberate on possible disciplinary actions against Kahiga. “In light of the above, I have convened an urgent Extra-Ordinary Council Meeting to be held tomorrow morning to deliberate on these unfortunate utterances, and further statements will follow,” Abdullahi said. The Council expressed deep respect for Raila Odinga, describing him as a statesman whose impact would forever remain in Kenya’s history. “It is inhumane and unacceptable to celebrate his death on account of perceived political calculations. Raila Odinga was and will forever remain a Statesman whose contributions are embedded in the annals of our country’s history,” the statement read. The CoG clarified that Kahiga’s remarks were personal and did not represent the collective views of the Council or the county leadership. Political Leaders Demand Accountability from Mutahi Kahiga Pressure is now mounting on Governor Mutahi Kahiga to apologize publicly and face disciplinary measures. Leaders from both the government and opposition have called for his immediate censure, arguing that his remarks risk inflaming ethnic tensions at a sensitive moment for the country. Former governors, MPs, and civil society groups have also weighed in, urging political leaders to promote unity rather than division. Political analysts say the controversy could isolate Kahiga within the Mt Kenya leadership and damage his standing ahead of future elections. Others argue that the Council’s swift response shows a growing intolerance for reckless political rhetoric in Kenya. The extraordinary CoG meeting is expected to issue a formal statement outlining the Council’s position and any actions to be taken against Kahiga. As the country continues to mourn the death of Raila Odinga, many Kenyans are urging leaders to demonstrate maturity, empathy, and national unity. The ongoing backlash against Kahiga reflects a broader sentiment that political competition should never override respect for human life.

Consumer backlash hits AutoExpress as complaints emerge over faulty run-flat tyres and poor after-sales service.

@yobos · Jul 21

A growing consumer backlash is brewing against AutoExpress, one of the country's most prominent automotive service brands, after a frustrated customer took to social media to expose what they describe as blatant disregard for customer protection and product accountability.

According to the story, the customer purchased a set of premium Goodyear run-flat tyres from AutoExpress less than a year ago.

Run-flats, which are marketed as high-end, puncture-resistant tyres with reinforced sidewalls, are typically expected to last several years under normal driving conditions. Consumer backlash hits AutoExpress as complaints emerge over faulty run-flat tyres and poor after-sales service.

The customer had previously used a different set of run-flats that lasted over four years, and trusted AutoExpress to deliver similar value and durability, especially given the company’s public-facing campaigns centered around tyre guarantees and service reliability.

However, within less than a year of purchase, the run-flat tyres reportedly began exhibiting signs of premature failure.

Most notably, visible sidewall swelling, which in industry terms is often associated with compromised internal structure or manufacturing defects.

The situation escalated when one of the tyres completely failed to retain air pressure, rendering it unusable and forcing the vehicle owner to return to AutoExpress in search of support and recourse under the implied warranty.

What transpired at the service centre, according to the complaint, was a protracted and disheartening experience.

After being made to wait for an entire day without resolution, the customer was subjected to a sequence of vague explanations and shifting justifications, none of which addressed the core issue.

Despite providing both a physical receipt and digital records confirming the purchase, the customer alleges that AutoExpress staff deflected responsibility and failed to honour any meaningful warranty process.

Instead of initiating a proper quality assessment or offering redress, company representatives allegedly speculated that the damage may have been caused by user negligence.

They floated a number of unsubstantiated theories, including excessive mileage, undetected pothole impact, and even the possibility that a third party had driven the vehicle off-road.

According to the complainant, all these scenarios were not only untrue but also irrelevant, as the car had only been driven within Nairobi and the tyres showed no signs of tread wear or surface damage that would support such claims.

Moreover, when a technical inspection reportedly failed to identify any conclusive evidence of user-related damage and with no punctures or post-puncture driving ever recorded.

AutoExpress still declined to offer a replacement or refund.

Instead, the only compensation offered was a nominal discount of Ksh 2,000 on a new set of tyres, a gesture widely perceived by the customer as dismissive and grossly disproportionate to the Ksh 60,000 already spent on what were expected to be premium, long-lasting products.

What deepened the concern further was the realization that a second set of run-flat tyres (purchased just two months after the original set and also from AutoExpress) may soon present similar issues.

This raises legitimate fears about the broader quality and reliability of the product batches being sold, as well as the robustness of the company’s internal quality controls. "Hi Nyakundi. I hope you are well. I have a personal matter that I would like Cyprian to highlight if possible. It concerns AutoExpress products. I bought Goodyear run-flat tyres from them barely a year ago. Run-flats are premium and are ideally supposed to be hardy, as they have reinforced sidewalls and are expected to serve for a few years. I had a previous set of run-flats that lasted me over four years, so I believed these would also do the same, especially given the guarantee of purchasing from a renowned brand like AutoExpress. Unfortunately, the current set of tyres is now swollen, and because run-flats cannot be repaired, it means I have lost over sixty thousand shillings in less than a year. I went to AutoExpress earlier this month because one of the tyres had not been taking in pressure for weeks, and they refused to take any responsibility despite me presenting both a physical receipt and in-app receipts. After keeping me waiting for the whole day and giving every possible excuse, they said their insurance does not cover run-flats, and they are still working on how to handle such cases, claiming that people often come to claim after using them beyond the recommended distance following a puncture. They said they would have to consult their supplier and operations team to find a solution. Ironically, AutoExpress's ongoing marketing campaigns focus heavily on tyre guarantees. They suggested I might have continued driving after a puncture, which I did not, as there was no puncture. They said I might have done high mileage, which is not true, as the tread level is at seven and the car has only been driven within Nairobi. They claimed I might have hit a very large pothole that could have burst normal tyres, which I also did not. They even implied I might have given someone the car and that person drove it off-road, which is not the case either. They ran a test and found no plausible reason to deny me a solution, yet they still did. Instead, the offer they gave me was to buy another set of tyres and get a two thousand shilling discount. They followed up with a call and repeated the same offer. What makes it worse is that my other set of tyres, also from AutoExpress, was bought just two months after the first set, so there is a high likelihood they might develop the same problem soon." @safarisoulke Nyinyi hudeal na car dealers wagani legit? I use run flats, been using them for over 4 years now, they are hardy, give you service, no need to carry spares, fewer trips for pressure and just peace of mind. The last set of four I got were from @autoxpresskenya , barely a year in, two of the tyres are defective and there solution is for me to go back to them and buy others because they cover lesser priced tyres and not premium ones. #autoxpresskenya #autoexpress #nairobitiktokers #cartok #kenyantiktok🇰🇪 #tyreskenya #AutoXpress #CarServiceKenya #wheelbalancing #wheelalignment #pirelli #foryou #carpartskenya #carskenya #carcare #buyerbeware #kenyatiktokers ♬ original sound - Safari Soul To support the complaint, the customer shared a series of documents detailing the AutoExpress transactions, including receipts, service records, and correspondence with the company. This incident, while troubling on its own, also fits into a broader and growing pattern of consumer frustration with AutoExpress, a company that invests heavily in marketing messages around product quality, performance, and customer satisfaction but is now facing repeated accusations of falling short when those promises are put to the test.

The gap between branding and reality, some consumers argue, is not just disappointing but potentially dangerous, especially when the products in question are essential safety components.

With digital platforms and social media enabling affected customers to speak out more, such cases are unlikely to stay buried.

Consumer rights advocates are now calling for strengthened oversight and regulation of warranty enforcement practices, particularly in high-margin sectors such as automotive accessories and services.

In a market where the price of entry for quality is steep, buyers say it is only fair to expect a level of after-sales support that matches the premium being charged, not vague disclaimers and empty assurances when defects emerge.

As similar experiences surface and public pressure mounts, attention will increasingly turn to how AutoExpress addresses these complaints, not just in isolated instances, but in terms of its systemic approach to customer care, transparency and accountability.

For weeks, silence shrouded the strange disappearance of Juja MP George Koimburi. Rumors of political games, faked trauma, and a staged abduction dominated headlines. The country watched and waited. Now, the MP has finally broken his silence. Speaking from his hospital bed, Koimburi recounted a chilling tale that he claims left him unconscious, drugged, and dumped in a coffee farm. His statement has stirred fresh debate and raised deeper questions about political abductions in Kenya and the rising tide of mistrust surrounding them. Was Koimburi abducted as he claims, or did he manipulate public emotions for political mileage? Whatever the truth may be, one thing is clear — the episode has exposed how fragile trust is between politicians, the police, and the people. [Photo: Courtesy] Koimburi Speaks on Ordeal That Left the Nation Divided George Koimburi insists he was abducted on May 25, 2025, after attending a church service at the Full Gospel Churches of Kenya. According to the MP, masked men intercepted him outside the church.

"It was May 25. I had just attended a church service and was on my way out when I encountered goons who covered my eyes and drugged me through my nose," he said.

He claims he lost consciousness almost immediately. When he woke up the next day, he found himself lying in the middle of a coffee plantation in Kiambu County.

"I regained consciousness the next day in a coffee farm. A boda boda rider found me and helped alert my family, who brought me to this hospital," he added.

He appeared weak and bruised as he addressed the media. His voice was hoarse, but his words were clear. He accused unnamed actors of engineering a dangerous trend of political kidnappings and urged the government to act.

"This is not just about me. There are others who have gone through the same. It’s time the government dealt with these abductions seriously." Police Reject His Account and Say Koimburi Lied While Koimburi speaks of a targeted abduction, the police offer a different version. They believe the MP faked his kidnapping.

Inspector General Douglas Kanja publicly dismissed the MP's claims. According to the police, the evidence they gathered — including interrogations of three suspects — did not support the version Koimburi shared.

Investigators pointed out inconsistencies in the timeline and location of the alleged crime. They questioned how the MP was able to vanish without any witnesses outside a busy church.

“The gaps are too large to ignore,” a senior officer said. “Everything points to a politically motivated drama.”

The accusation drew sharp criticism from opposition figures, who claimed the police were working to discredit leaders seen as critical of government officials. Others asked why a sitting MP would fake such an ordeal at the risk of losing credibility and possibly his seat.

Still, some Kenyans remain unconvinced by both sides, arguing that the truth may lie somewhere in the middle. Public Reaction and Security Concerns After Koimburi Speaks Koimburi’s story has reignited a long-standing fear in Kenya — the fear of forced disappearances.

Civil rights groups weighed in, calling for full investigations into not just Koimburi’s claims but other unresolved disappearances of activists, journalists, and political figures.

"This case, whether true or false, has exposed the deep mistrust between citizens and state agencies," said a spokesperson for the Kenya Human Rights Network.

Political analysts also believe the Koimburi saga reveals cracks within the political elite. The MP has been linked to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who has fallen out of favor in recent months. Some view Koimburi’s ordeal as part of a broader power play within the ruling coalition.

Despite the drama, Koimburi said he has no regrets speaking out.

"My conscience is clear. What happened to me was real. I survived, and I thank God. But many are not as lucky."

The MP urged Kenyans to remain alert and question the growing trend of silence around security issues.

"Whether the government believes me or not, people are disappearing. We cannot afford to ignore this."

Martha Karua has found herself in the middle of an international political storm — and Tanzania's Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) is not taking her activism lightly. In a fiery response on Friday, CCM Vice-Chairman Stephen Wasira slammed the Kenyan politician for what he termed as unwarranted interference in Tanzania’s internal affairs. While Karua, the leader of Kenya’s People's Liberation Party, paints her actions as Pan-African solidarity, Wasira made it clear she was unwelcome. The message was simple: Tanzania’s politics are for Tanzanians. Karua, he said, should focus on fixing Kenya instead of flying to Dar es Salaam to lecture others. CCM Vice-Chair Stephen Wasira advised Martha Karua (pictured) to first address the deep-seated political and social issues in Kenya — including corruption, security challenges, and economic instability — before attempting to comment on Tanzanian affairs. [Photo: Screenshot] Martha Karua’s Activism Sparks Outrage in Tanzania Martha Karua has been vocal about the detention of Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu. She even flew to Tanzania to observe the proceedings in court, standing in solidarity with Lissu and Chadema Party supporters. But her actions have ruffled feathers at the highest levels of Tanzanian leadership. Speaking at a CCM event, Stephen Wasira, known for his no-nonsense demeanor, did not mince his words. He accused Karua of stepping far beyond her jurisdiction. "I listened to Martha Karua when she was here, speaking as a party leader," Wasira said. "She alleged that CCM is afraid of Chadema, that is why it is seizing their leaders before the general elections. I want to boldly tell her that here in Tanzania, there is no party that CCM can fear." Wasira made it crystal clear that CCM is not intimidated by Chadema or any other opposition force. He emphasized that Tanzania’s ruling party has a history of handling its affairs internally and peacefully — without needing lectures from foreign politicians. Wasira didn’t stop there. He accused Karua of misunderstanding the political situation in Tanzania and misrepresenting facts to stir tension. According to him, her accusations that CCM was undermining the East African Community spirit were baseless. “Don't try to compare yourself with CCM," Wasira warned. "We have no issues with any party, and we cannot meddle in matters of the court." In his fiery remarks, Wasira advised Karua to first address the deep-seated political and social issues in Kenya — including corruption, security challenges, and economic instability — before attempting to comment on Tanzanian affairs. He suggested that if Karua wanted to advocate for democracy, she should turn her attention to crisis-stricken regions like the Democratic Republic of Congo or South Sudan, where her efforts might be needed more urgently. Karua Fires Back, Defends Her Actions Never one to back down from a political fight, Martha Karua responded swiftly to Wasira’s attacks. Taking to social media, she thanked the CCM Vice-Chairman for taking time to respond to her advocacy. But she didn’t spare him from sharp criticism either. Karua accused Wasira of deliberately sidestepping the real issues — violations of human rights and abuse of power during the court hearings of Tundu Lissu. "Thank you for the response," Karua posted, "but, unfortunately, Mr Wasira did not address the violations of the constitution and the actions of the police at Kisutu court, including suppressing and brutally attacking citizens and leaders, killing, breaking bones, and injuring them." Karua stood firm on her position that speaking up against injustice is not meddling, but an obligation for all Africans who believe in democracy and human rights. Martha Karua Accuses CCM of Unleashing Brutality on the Opposition She called out the brutality unleashed on Chadema supporters during Lissu’s hearings and challenged CCM to show more accountability rather than resorting to nationalism as a shield against criticism. Her remarks reignited debate across East Africa, with some praising her courage and others accusing her of grandstanding for political mileage back home. The clash between Wasira and Karua has exposed deep divisions in how political leaders in East Africa view cross-border advocacy. While Pan-Africanism is often praised in principle, when it comes to domestic politics, many leaders are quick to slam the door on outsiders. Conclusion Martha Karua’s attempt to stand up for Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu has put her squarely in the crosshairs of Tanzania’s ruling elite. Stephen Wasira’s sharp rebuke was a loud warning to foreign politicians: Tanzania’s politics are off-limits. Meanwhile, Karua remains defiant, insisting that democracy knows no borders. This heated exchange is a clear reminder that in East Africa, solidarity comes with serious risks — and sometimes, political walls are harder to tear down than anyone expects.

Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH) The cartels that were kicked out of Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH) recently are not taking it lightly. After years of running unchecked deals inside the hospital, they’re now pushing back — hard. Before changes were introduced, procurement at the hospital was more or less a free-for-all. Basic rules didn’t apply. Suppliers were handpicked, paperwork was questionable, and contracts were awarded in ways that completely ignored the law. Nearly everything was single-sourced. What was supposed to be open competition under public procurement law became a one-supplier-per-category operation. The rules under the 2015 procurement act clearly state that a minimum of seven vendors should be pre-qualified per framework. But at KUTRRH, each category had just one — meaning real competition never existed. And now that the tap has been turned off, the people who built their fortunes off that setup are trying to break the system again. Fake Signatures, Backdated Contracts It gets worse. Some contracts at the hospital are said to have been signed by people who weren’t even employees at the time. That means documents were either forged, backdated, or signed using names of people who hadn't joined the payroll yet. The only reason that happens is to create cover for deals that were already agreed on behind the scenes. That kind of move isn’t just unethical. It’s criminal. Goods Delivered Without Contracts Suppliers connected to the old network were delivering goods without any signed agreements. They still got paid. Meanwhile, proper vendors were being blocked or made to go through endless processes just to be told no. This was not a procurement unit. It was a private club. A Car Bought Without Following Rules Even the hospital’s vehicle wasn’t bought the right way. It was acquired using a basic quotation, with no technical inspection. Worse, the vehicle wasn’t even new — which goes against the clear policy that only zero-mileage units should be purchased unless otherwise approved. It’s the kind of move that shows just how confident the insiders were. No fear. No oversight. Just direct access. Cancer Centre Was Their Main Target The hospital’s cancer centre was their prize. That’s where the money is. And that’s where some of the most suspicious contracts came from. One of the firms that won a major tender was less than a year old. The tender documents said all applicants needed at least three years of financial records. So how did this company qualify? There were no joint ventures. No visible partnerships. Just a company that somehow checked a box it couldn’t possibly meet. Meanwhile, a separate distributor offering the same medical products at half the price was blocked. Why? Because they refused to pay kickbacks. And in this setup, that’s the real red flag — not pricing, not quality, just your willingness to pay. Whistleblowers Targeted, Not Protected Since the reforms began, those behind the old system have shifted their energy. They’re no longer hiding. They’re attacking. People involved in exposing the mess are being isolated, transferred, and in some cases, pushed out completely. Oversight agencies are quiet. Some insiders say it’s because the same people who lost their grip inside the hospital are now trying to use external networks to reverse the changes. The goal is simple. Bring back the old routine. Let the deals flow again. Let public funds keep moving through private hands. The Call for Intervention This situation has now reached a level that demands urgent national attention. Multiple institutions have been asked to intervene and stop the powerful networks trying to rebuild their control inside the hospital. These include: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) The Presidency The Head of Public Service (HoPS) The Cabinet Secretary for Health The Principal Secretary for Medical Services

Edday, Samidoh, Karen Nyamu

@yobos · Dec 17

PHOTO CAPTION: Edday, Samidoh and Karen Nyamu Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has blamed alcohol over an embarrassing incident in Dubai where she engaged in a commotion with Mugithi music star Samidoh’s wife Edday Nderitu Thursday night during a concert.

Nyamu took to her Facebook live on Saturday to respond to her fans about what transpired during the incident that saw her dislodge Edday before sitting on Samidoh’s lap.

The incident stirred a public debate on the conduct of the lawmaker, with some observers saying she had violated constitutional provisions on leadership and integrity.

Others defended Nyamu’s conduct, arguing that she has a right to fight for her space, having birthed two children with Samidoh, a police officer.

Amongst the numerous reactions, one specific opinion by a Kenyan on Facebook seems to have aptly captured the circumstances behind the senator’s deplorable behaviour.

The netizen blamed Nyamu’s current predicaments on what he termed as “competition anxiety” whereby she is struggling to remain relevant in Samidoh’s life amidst tough rivalry from younger and more beautiful girls.

According to Kenyan author Jacob Aliet (Jack Agwa), since Nyamu is aware that her affair with Samidoh is not legitimate and not in any way officiated, her strategy is to be public about their relationship in search of acceptance from the public eye.

Below is his full, interesting opinion. Kenyan author Jacob Aliet has diagnosed Karen Nyamu with “Competition Anxiety” “What's killing Karen Nyamu is competition anxiety. She knows her SMV is low, being a single mother with a child (or more) who aren't Samidoh's. Other women are now coming into Samidoh's arms who are younger and more beautiful, and she knows her days are numbered. Samidoh is her last-ditch effort at consolidating her eroded sexual agency, and bolting him down now is her topmost priority, because she knows that in a couple of years, she will become invisible. This is the fight of her life. With only Samidoh's wife, Edday, who is mature, secure, and chilled as her only competition, all Nyamu needed to secure her place was: to have Samidoh's kids, parade her value as a nominated senator and ensure the public knew who the father of her younger kids was. Since Nyamu couldn't be legitimate via a marriage certificate, her strategy was to be public about their affair and get some acceptance in the public eye. But now, other women are coming in, and Nyamu is forced to spring forward, fight them off and mark her territory. It's because her position is precarious. She knows she is a side chick, and if more side chicks join Samidoh's rotation, she is just one among many, and most likely the oldest one with the highest mileage. This is the battle of her life, and Samido's wife, Edday is enjoying this to the fullest. That is why Edday publicly posted a lovely post thanking Bernice Saroni for “taking care” of her husband during US tour. ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend’ works here very well. Because Eddah is not a high-conflict personality, she will welcome any younger woman who can kick Nyamu out. People assume that Samidoh knows what he is doing. He doesn't. Just like Samuel Wanjiru our gifted marathon runner, he is just a talented young man who finds himself in fame, has access to many women, and he is smashing as he enjoys what comes with his fame. But Nyamu is not domesticated or feminine. As a cat that belongs to the streets, she comes with high drama and dysfunction and is perfectly willing to burn a carpet to kill a flea that bothers her. Many empires have been brought down by women, and I know Samidoh feels like he is bulletproof right now. Many apex men often feel like this when they are at their peak. Look at the story of Montell Jordan and how he ran around with other women, see how badly he crashed. Yet he was even bigger than Samidoh. You all know the story of Mr. Nice (Mac Muga) and others. Being young, dumb and dck driven has spelt the demise of many men. Welcoming chaotic women into one’s life, especially random scallywags with other men’s children, is always costly and moves a man further away from maximizing his potential. The limelight of many Mugithi musicians, indeed, most musicians, is rather short, and many of them retire to a life of obscurity and often penury. This is when Samidoh should invest in real estate, stocks, and so on, and not expend his energies settling baby mama drama. He should be in the news for groundbreaking a new shopping mall or opening a new business, not about what scallywags are fighting over him. Anytime now, another talented kid will rise up and take up his place, which will spell the beginning of the end of him. Nothing in this world truly belongs to a man. Fame, like beauty, is very transient, and I wish Samidoh the best as he navigates these treacherous waters. As they say, the stove that burns teaches best.” https://nyakundireport.com/watch-drunk-karen-nyamu-thrown-out-of-samidohs-dubai-show-for-causing-fracas/

Geothermal Development Company - GDC

@yobos · Aug 5

PHOTO CAPTION: Jared O. Othieno, Managing Director, Geothermal Development Company (GDC)

EACC has put all civil servants under scrutiny due to cases and reports of forged academic certificates.

At the Geothermal Development Company (GDC), the case is no different. General Manager, Human resources has been protecting all that have fake academic papers. It's now clear she hired members of families of GDC management without papers. Her family members are the undisputed leaders in holding fake certificates, big positions and salaries beyond their wage bands for the said job groups.

GM Human Resource and Administration is know for all evils in the organization. From hiring young boys without secondary education and using them as sex pets to keep their jobs. One case is of an Administrative Officer who purely had no papers and earning over Ksh 200,000 pm. Not to mention the land she duped the Young man to sell to her their matrimonial house in Karen after the demise of the Young man's mother.

The Chronicles of Irene Nyaboke are wide spread that if an award for Corruption, Nepotism, Abuse of Office, Funds Misappropriation and Sex scandals are anything to go by. Ranging from taking Men  for check-up to her Gynaecologist husband, Doctoring Staff NHIF preferred Hospitals, Sleeping with Young men in the organization (Sexual harassments), wrongful dismissal of staff and restating them, unfair treatment of Staff, just to mention but a few. Evidence 1 - GDC

It would be of great interest if EACC and Asset recovery would dig deep to establish the source of her wealth. An officer who takes her Kids to St. Andrew's Turi.

The GM Human Resource and Administration was involved in the early set of the Organization pension scheme, where reports indicate it's during the period between 2010 and 2018 where the scheme lost a lot of Money.

Despite hiring her family members without papers, the family exercises impunity under her protection. A senior Officer was nabbed stealing relief food but the case never saw the light of the day due to her protection. Early last month the niece was nabbed on cameras on a daily basis stealing hospitality materials the same never saw the light of the day.

Currently, the exercise of verification of academic papers is facing interference Irene Nyaboke and Eng Jared who are out to protect their Kinsmen and cronies, of importance to note is that the Human Resource audit done by the former General Manager is still available and he can witness in a court of law. Irene Onyambu and former GM Human resources and Administration were swiped positions when it become clear that the former GM was out to clear and sue all with fake papers.

“Forgery of academic certificates has become prevalent in the public service. This is not only a crime but also a violation of Chapter 6 of the Constitution. EACC should investigate Geothermal Development Company Ltd together with surcharge to the GM Human Resource and Administration. Evidence 2 - GDC

The disciplinary process in dealing with fake papers at GDC has been marred with interference from the office of the MD and CEO. It's evident that GDC is headed by educated thieves. In November 2019 disciplinary proceedings of former Union Branch Secretary on Fake papers commenced, a result of reshuffle of the HR docket since Eng Jared together with the Chairperson disciplinary committee one Paul K. Ngugi were out to protect the former Branch Secretary. This are the leaders that the organization enjoys both at the Institution and at the Board of Trustees where both Irene Onyambu and Paul K. Ngugi sit despite the two being on contract terms and enjoying Gratuity they have mastered the art of colluding with Eng Jared to delay pension remittances, interfere with pension affairs and threaten any voice of reason that challenges matters pension.

Geothermal Development Company is too broke to the extent of grounding company equipments for minor services of Ksh 200,000 and leaving the equipments in the field to be vandalized and robbed.

The state of the company vehicles is messy with the corrupt Eng Jared disposing the nice fleet to politicians and his cronies instead of rehabilitating them. Notably is a bus that is currently being used in campaigns in Nakuru town. READ: “DCI ni watu kama sisi na wako na njaa. Hii ni kitu kidogo” – GDC staff heard saying after corruption exposés At the Camps, we constantly miss basic necessities like soap, tissue and water. While our leader are on foreign trips with an advance and entertainment allowance.

The leadership of Eng Jared has been so messy, misusing taxpayers money. We request a Task force be formed to investigate The senior Management of GDC.

The Human Resource instruments have been abused to the core. We see ourselves having Graduate Engineers supervising Practicing Engineers. The General Manager Drilling & Infrastructure is a Graduate Engineer and it's expected Practicing Engineers to wait on instructions from the General Manager who together with his managers are all Graduate Engineers. Evidence 3 - GDC

At GDC Staff face skewed career progression guidelines under the leadership of Corrupt Othieno and a Food Technology graduate who sums up as a General Manager Human Resource and Administration. Today, Deputy Managers and Principal Officers have been in acting positions for over 6 years. Recently there was a tag of war with the Eng Othieno when he wanted Deputy Managers and Principal officers to sign acting positions without acting allowances. Word has it that the CEO is so incompetent and biased that he has changed some pioneer Managers terms from permanent to Contract, whereas those that sing to his tune remain on permanent and pensionable terms.

Eng Jared formed a committee chaired by a Graduate Engineer General Manager Paul Ngugi to look onto sale of steam at Kengen Olkaria. Paul a former engineer at Kengen colluded with Kengen to have GDC steam diverted to Kengen denying GDC revenues of over 18billion annually. Engineers who discovered this and raised alarm have now been reassigned duties as the case on the matter continues with Kengen bargaining for an out of Court settlement. Paul is a smart talker and boot licker that he has earned the protection of certain Board members of the Organization.

Paul just like Irene is a womaniser, that at one time he replaced two members of staff (An environment officer and a Planning officer) meant to represent the organization outside the country with his name and a lady companion . Procurement Eng Jared is so hungry and corrupt that he has been pushing for the payment of an irregular  procurement of a Management Information system. In the said procurement of a company by names Teckno International was initiated in 2014. To date all former CEOs have seen it as a hot potato and avoided it. But with the greed of Eng Jared, he presented a board paper on this with the intention to pay for services never delivered inorder to get his cut in the process.

All the procurements that have happened under the watch of Eng Jared regime majority have been cancelled or re-tendered following his interferences. He has interfered with even drilling cement that the Company now buys packed cement that doesn't meet the threshold of drilling cement and cement additives. The worry is that soon Kenyans might be seeing collapse of Geothermal wells.

Since GDC started procuring cement in Bags, majority of the cement sees its way in private construction sites of individuals in the Drilling Management and the corrupt Eng Jared's circles, to be specific Mr Reuben Kyalo Ngosi who is completing a multistory building worth around 200M. Evidence 4 - GDC

Eng Jared Othieno cannot accept any voice of reason to ask matters pension or any query see the light of the day. He has pushed for the Transfer of an technical Engineer in geophysics and well sitting in the exploration fields to be based in Nairobi property management to handle electrical repairs and maintenance. The said Engineer is romoured to have questioned something in the Pension scheme last week, two days later he received a transfer letter to resume work in Nairobi on 1st August against the Human resources manual and the guiding CBA for Union which we dearly pay for monthly. Transfers are supposed to allow us a 1month transfer notice.

The Intimidation tactics that Eng Jared and the two General Managers who happen to be trustees of the pension scheme are using has now worried us as staff and we can no longer work or freely talk/engage at ease

The rot in GDC continues to dig deeper than expected. In 2020 when Eng Jared discovered his Nairobi kitusuru house acquired through mortgage from his Kplc pension will be auctioned  he approved a blanket mileage for Senior Management staff together with a car grant of a Ksh 5m and a monthly blanket mileage of Ksh 100,000. This was to replace the monthly perdiems the crooks had in place for themselves. Of importance to note is that despite awarding themselves these allowance they continuously claim mileage illegally while using the company vehicles. This was Eng Jared Othieno's scheme to secure favours from all Senior Management when he so-called them to sign-off his corrupt deals!

We need to see the full force of EACC, DCI, Asset recovery and RBA at force

The former chairman of the pension scheme was also overheard saying "DCI ni watu kama sisi na wako na wako na Njaa kutuliko hii ni kitu kidogo" The question now is "Can the DCI truly be compromised?"

Our plea to DCI Kinoti and EACC is have these bodies move swiftly and investigate the Rot at GDC

This email was copied to the following: EIK Instute of Engineers, IHRM Institute of HR Managers, EACC, DCI, Ombudsman, RBA, Asset Recovery Agency, PS Energy and CS Energy. Evidence 5 - GDC

Acting Sports Fund CEO Mark Wambugu When we began highlighting the ongoing theft at the Sports, Arts & Social Development Fund, most Kenyans did not believe it.

But with the emergence of a memo to federations informing them that money has run out, it is time to break down the theft that has been happening there and why Kenyan sports is now a curse to this nation. READ MORE: Looting Racket At The Sports, Arts And Social Development Fund Exposed Fireworks At The Sports Fund After Cyprian Nyakundi Expose’ Dokatu Wako: CS Amina’s Alleged Proxy Enjoying Fruits Of Embezzlement At Sports Ministry PUZZLE: How Expunged Sports Kenya Director-General Executed Official Duties When The Drunk and Corrupt Speak: Why Avril’s Baby Daddy PS Joe Okudo Is Not Fit To Lecture Us On Sports Gold Rush For Ministry of Sports Coffers Illicit love affair, looting at sports fund under CS Amina’s watch exposed CONFIRMED: Sports Ministry Is Broke Part of the theft at the fund starts with the Acting CEO Wambugu.

This is a person who loves to take the fund and government to court and is still retained as the acting CEO.

This has given him self entitlement to the public funds at the fund and can do whatever he feels like and wants to do. View document He has been claiming mileage allowance for the last three years and yet he uses a government vehicle, which he keeps on changing number plates.

This chap is just pathetic, and right now at the fund, he has got no friends and people are wondering why he still wants to apply for the position of CEO, after bringing the fund and sports federations to their knees.

The Auditor-General should, with urgency, move into the Sports, Arts and Social Fund at Flamingo Towers and start looking at the right places.

For example, start with Wambugu's salary statement and check that against the mileage allowance.

Then find out if he uses his own car or a government car.

Look at the Government car mileage records and trips to where it's supposed to have gone and see if the official government car mileage is adding up.

This is the first clue that we are pointing out, as we will share more soon.

While at the fund, check the files in his office and check the dates of when the paperwork came in.

Again, you will find that some paperwork is being held for purposes of being able to play with the books.

The Safari Rally starts this weekend, check on the per diem of Wambugu for this year's event and also last year's event.

Last year's records will be of interest, as he decided to sleep and operate from the official hotel booked by the fund for the event in Naivasha, but he still continued earning his daily night out per diem.

Check the bank statements for the event and while at it get records of rooms that were used and hotel records at Enshapai Resort, Naivasha.

This is the first series of theft that we have pointed out to help the auditor general and the DCI in putting this criminal behind bars.

Next, we shall outline other forms of theft within the fund and expose those involved, including Veronica, whose international trips we shall list down - including those that they took together with Wambugu as they accompanied various national teams out of the Country.

GHOSTS OF PATEL DAM: How Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri Scammed Tragedy Victims Using Dubious Foundation
B

Boi Boi

@yobos · Mar 22

CAPTION: This is a story of Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri took advantage of a tragedy to mint millions of shillings in the name of Patel Dam survivors It is just a few months to this year's general elections, and as is the norm, most Kenyans are engrossed in the wild hysteria surrounding the August 6th polls.

But away from all the glamour and clamour, a forgotten minority deep in the heart of Subukia Sub-county is painfully and silently counting down days to the 4th year anniversary of the disastrous Patel Dam Tragedy that took place on May 9, 2018.

On that fateful day, shockwaves rang across the nation after an illegally and irregularly constructed man-made dam within the vast Patel Coffee Estates located in Solai, Nakuru, broke its banks at around 7.15 p.m, gushing out 190 million litres of water through settlements, leaving in its wake; gruesome deaths; horrible injuries(physical, mental and emotional); massive destruction of property and unprecedented displacement of people.

Recorded reports of the incidents show that about 47 lost their lives.

Most of those who were swept away by the raging waters were women, children and elderly persons.

Public amenities were also not spared as Solai Nyakinywa Primary and a Private Medical Dispensary were also heavily affected.

More than 2,000 were left homeless.

But up to date, questions still linger as to what exactly caused the bursting of the dam. In what turned out to be one of the worst human-made disasters and the most glaring cases of corporate impunity and state negligence, the Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji on July 5 2018 ordered the arrest and prosecution of the managing director of Patel Coffee Estates Limited to answer to charges of manslaughter.

Perry Mansukh, the son of deceased businessman and founder of the vast estate, Patel Mansukh Kansagra , was among managers and top government officials that the DPP for arrest and prosecution for manslaughter, neglect of official duty and failing to prepare an environmental impact assessment report.

Some of those found criminally culpable included; Winnie Muthoni Mutisya (Water Rights Officer-WARMA), Tomkin Odo Odhiambo (Sub-Regional Manager- WARMA), Jacinta Were (Assistant Technical Manager- WARMA), Willie Omondi Were (NEMA, Nakuru County Director), Lynnete Jepchirchir Cheruiyot (NEMA officer, Nakuru County), Johnson Kamau Njuguna (Nakuru County Water Director) and Julius Kavita (Sub-county Administrator).

Investigations showed the construction of the dam was done by unqualified personnel using farm equipment.

This was done under the watch of the county government officials entrusted with the mandate of inspection, monitoring and control of the safety,

This led to major construction and design flaws.

In a bid to push for justice, a number of cases both civil and criminal were entertained before courts in which some have already been determined while others are still pending.

This came in the backdrop of violent demonstrations that rocked the affected area.

Local residents protested what they claimed to be unfair actions from the police and administrators in handling the matter. How MP Kimani Ngunjri and Perry Mansukh Kansagara sammed Solai victims But away from the glaring lights of the cameras, a cabal of greedy opportunists led by Bahati Member of Parliament (MP) Kimani Ngunjiri was already secretly plotting how to take advantage of the chaos and mint some millions.

One random afternoon in July 2018, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) noisemaker accompanied Mr Perry Mansukh Kansagara to Solai and put victims under pressure to hurriedly sign reimbursement forms.

They were promised Sh100,000 compensation, but little did they know it was all false dreams.

Interestingly, Ngunjri - who is not an elected leader in Solai - visited the survivors without notifying local representatives like area MCA Dr Peter Mbae.

He did not even bother to inform his fellow legislator Hon Samuel Gachobe of Subukia constituency.

In later revelations, some of those who committed to the shady agreement expressed that they were not even accorded enough time to read and clearly understand what they were signing.

Things got so bad that Gachobe warned Ngunjiri against interfering with matters out of his area of jurisdiction, protesting that he was playing gimmicks with his people.

Heavy questions were raised as to why despite being from neighbouring Bahati, he had suddenly developed so much interest in the matter. “I am warning Ngunjiri to stop making political mileage out of the Solai tragedy. The MP comes to my constituency without informing me. Desperate locals were under duress to sign for the money from Patel,” said the MP at the time. But this did not seem to deter him.

Ngunjiri kept collecting money under his dubious foundation, with the false assertion that the funds were meant for the victim's emergency aid.

His team claimed that the millions of shillings contributed to "Hands Of Mercy Ngunjiri Foundation" would be used to buy items clothes, shoes, and pay fees for the students. Ngunjiri promised to personally sponsor over 60 students at a mission school in Dundori (otherwise known as the Roberts Education Centre) and fully support them students up to Form 4 level.

The fake pledge hardly lasted a year after Ngunjiri suddenly withdrew his input, leaving the learning institution with an unplanned budget. In the meantime, Subukia MP Samuel Gachobe kept advocating for the rights of the afflicted residents.

As part of his protest, he exposed grave illegalities in the alleged agreement between the survivors and Kensalt Limited (a subsidiary company owned by the Patels).

For instance, part of the document affirmed that victims shall not make any further claims and that the farm owners are not obligated to make any more settlements.

In short, signing the discharge and indemnity document meant that the survivors had forfeited any claims and that Patel was discharged of all responsibilities.

Gachobe insisted that top government officials, including the Rift Valley regional coordinator, Mongo Chimwaga, and County Commissioner Joshua Nkanatha, be probed in regards to the controversial payout by the killer dam's owners.

He said although the two government officials distanced themselves from the agreements, they were privy to the planned deal.

On their part, Nkanatha and Chimwaga said they were only privy to the Sh50,000 payment from the Sh1 billion government kitty said to have been offered to flood victims countrywide. In February 2020, Mr Perry Mansukh Kansagara alongside the eight others charged with causing the tragedy were cleared of manslaughter in a Naivasha court.

But in April the same year, Naivasha High Court Judge Richard Mwongo squashed the ruling and ordered the retrial of their 48 counts of manslaughter.

Justice Mwongo termed the lower court's decision defective and unjust, saying the interests of the victims were not considered.

In September, the government acknowledged this decision and disclosed that they would wish to have the suspects charged afresh.

Months later, at the Solai -Nyakinyua trading centre in Subukia, life appears to be normal.

Boda boda operators are busy ferrying passengers to different destinations, traders are attending to customers while numerous vehicles are seen cruising the newly tarmacked Bahati-Solai-Subukia Road.

However, beneath this normalcy lies a wound whose pain is shared by almost every member of the small society.

The memories of a horrific disaster that befell the community a few years ago are the hallmark of agony in the lives of the community's members.

Today, both Mr Ngunjiri, as well as the tragedy's mastermind Mr Perry Mansukh Kansagara continue to roam free, under protection from the same state security agencies expected to investigate and prosecute them for running the treacherous compensation scam.

His "Hands Of Mercy" foundation, propelled by funds from gullible donors, continues to run normal operations.

But looking at Ngunjiri's record, gobbling millions of shillings in the name of Patel Dam survivors is not the only thing he has gotten away with.

Reports as recent as last week indicate that the US State Department headed by Ambassador Antony John Blinken has placed the legislator under their radar over his alleged links to the puzzling murder case of renowned environment activist Joanna Stuchburry.

The 64-year old was attacked by unknown assailants near her home in Thindigua, Kiambu County on July 15th 2021.

On October 26, 2021, Environmental Cabinet Secretary, Keriako Tobiko, appeared before the Senate Security Committee and revealed that investigative findings had confirmed that Stutchbury was murdered over her relentless efforts to conserve the environment.

In his submissions, CS Tobiko named MP Ngunjiri as a direct person of interest in the case.

In view of these facts, insiders at the US Embassy in Nairobi are anticipating possible sanctions which could involve a total travel ban from American soil. READ MORE: US Travel Ban Looms For MP Kimani Ngunjiri Over Connection To Murder Of Environmentalist Joannah Stutchbury With this whole heavy scandalous baggage hanging on his shoulders, it is quite baffling how this man still holds public office.

What more dirt does the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) need for them to launch proceedings into the validity of his current government position as well as future candidature?

Could the rumours that Chairperson of the commission Mr Wafula Chebukati's mouth is too full for him to speak?

After all, the responsibility to ensure that only clean candidates make it to the ballot box stops at his buck.

In our view, subjecting the good voters of Bahati to crooks like Kimani Ngunjiri amounts to an abuse of their rights.

Following our Mohammed Jaffer monopoly story that has captured the attention of many Kenyans, we now focus on Mohammed Jaffer's long road to the monopoly that has now started raising eyebrows among Kenyans who have regarded the move as dangerous and catastrophic to the Kenyan economy.

https://nyakundireport.com/mohammed-jaffer-solidifies-lpg-monopoly/

Jaffer who is a close ally to the BBI hawker Raila Odinga, the largest interested party in the LPG industry is using his politically right privileges to lead State agencies to muscle out his competitors.

A source narrates that the few that can’t compromise their integrity and kneel before Jaffer are threatened by authorities. “If you don’t take Jaffer’s mockery offers he will snatch your base using authorities. He is buying out and intimidating everyone that comes against his dark dealings. He has scared away every business investor from the Island City. This is bad and we don’t know which government can intervene. The guy is in every government institution” a source said. In other news, Jaffer has allegedly taken hostage the coast economy by privatising the port operations, flooding the markets with his Unga brands after pocketing corrupt KEBS officials to scaring away Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG) investors. The business leader uses(or rather misuses) the politicians and residents to block projects It started with the British Company Mansa in Liwatoni and they had to leave and now other investors are being frustrated too

We will name and shame-very soon

— MvitaOne (@FauzKhalid) January 26, 2021 Former Prime minister Raila Odinga with Grain Bulk Handlers Chairman Mohamed Jaffer during the Celebrations to mark 10th Anniversary in Mombasa. KEBS is one of those agencies Jaffer Mohamed is deploying on his behalf. The same theatrics Jaffer used to bluffed KEBS and corruptly influenced them to kill local maize millers so that he can introduce Ajab Unga under GIL, a crony firmed owned by his GBHL. Mombasa Tycoons Jaffer Mohamed(L) and alleged Drug Lord Ali Punjani(R). Punjani accused Jaffer of blackmailing him with authorities after they allegedly differed on a deal.

To date, there have been tens of investigations on the unfair monopoly by his companies including Jaffer Mohamed-owned Grain Bulk Handling Limited (GBHL) but no action has been taken.

Maize and other grains are expensive because if the monopoly that GrainBulk Handlers has been enjoying for many years and now he has been trying to block all other players in the industry.

Through bribery, Jaffer has now completely taken over the imports, distribution and retail business in the LPG sector undercutting other companies and driving them out of business altogether and the latest tactic is buying off competitors who feel helpless and have to allow Jaffer to buy them off. The Raila’s financier and Ruto’s close ally Jaffer Mohamed has also pocketed a significant number of MPigs ensuring that any parliamentary committee investigations go his way. Suits filed in Court against Pro Gas, Energy Ministry and EPRA are often thrown out as he bribes witnesses and threatens anyone who comes against his orbit. Just like he monopolized the LPG market, there have been allegations that Jaffer Mohamed is planning to kill the petroleum industry and monopolize the market. A reliable source states that Jaffer now intends to make sure the prices of the Petrol and Diesel remain exorbitantly high so that his Proto Energy LPG installed in cars gain the wanted mileage. For starters, Jaffer Mohamed’s in one of his paid githeri media PR on August alleged LPG Cars invention was aired on Royal Media-owned Citizen TV. The conversion takes about 5 hrs the vehicle will run on LPG-only from Jaffer Mohamed’s Pro Gas firm. The driver can switch to petrol on a switch or vice-versa But how safe are these things? And why is Jaffer Mohamed getting his inventions ‘allowed’ in Kenya without due process nor scrutiny followed?But this is not Jaffer Mohamed’s invention. LPG powered cars have been in existence for ages it’s only that Kenyan authorities had blocked all local innovators and banned their importation. In 2014, Hashi Energy was the first to introduce the LPG powered car systems in Kenya before the authorities halted its rollout due to safety measures. So why is Jaffer’s Proto Energy Kenya-which vends Pro Gas being allowed now? Why Pro Gas only? In another privatized monopoly, a driver with Jaffer’s LPG car systems can’t pay for the refuelling services with cash or using available payment options. They must use the provided Proto Energy payment cards. The silence from CBK is also worrying, is Proto Energy Kenya a bank, microfinance, a Sacco..? What happens if all drivers funds go missing? Where will they complain or demand the refund from? With the Jaffer family monopolising the grain import and storage in the importation and storage of gas, fear is now that he can decide to create an artificial gas or grain shortage that will have a great impact on the economy.

Slavemaster: Darshan Chandaria, CEO of slave steamship Chandaria Industries

In 2019, we highlighted much about the mistreatment of Kenyans by Asians of Kenya descent. The mistreatment is occasioned by high poverty levels which forces young people to talks any job and to persevere through some untold hardships. For Kenyans working with Indians, it is 1619 everyday. For Chandaria Industries, the modern day slavery perpetrated on its sales team under the slave master CEO Darshan.

We got hold of a memo which outlines how Sales People at Chandaria Industries must behave. It is shared below.

"So many things happening. Kindly expose these Asian racists and neo colonisers in our native land than they make billions from", a source in the company wrote to nyakundireport.com.

Labor laws have been floured, COTU doesn't bark anymore, bribed by these same people. The courts and the Ministry are in collusion. The Kenyan education curriculum, oppressive, making people dependent on others to think for them.

When will Kenyans learn to petition, peaceably assemble and to demonstrate as per article 37 of the Constitution?

Below is the memo, see items on numbers 9,10 and 11

  1. Report to respective offices.
  1. Need to report if coming to the office on the same group the day before with the reasons to come to the office. Report in the above format time spent in the office and work done

  1. Need residential address locations posted on the group and any change in residence needs to be informed For Kenyans working with Indians, it is 1619, everyday
  1. All above reports should be matching the pre-set route plans and any change in route plans needs to approved by the office manager/HOD on the same group
  1. Limit set for reps' mileage from home to work — mileage to be confirmed.
  1. Maximum mileage per week to be set by rep
  1. HOD to compare reps route plan vs their daily report vs their tracking report (stoic and live location) are matching and report to the BOD's, Asheet, Sandeep, Shalley and Bhavin with any issues noticed.

  1. If a rep has continuously flouted this 2 times in a month it will lead to a 50% deduction of their salary and no bonusses will be paid for that month either.
  1. If a rep continuously flouts the rules 3 months in a row they will dismissed from the company.
  1. All reps are to sign the above points as a new policy. This is to be submitted to Bhavin for filing in each of the reps files. Agreed and Signed by Sales Rep:

Shakeel-Shabbir

@yobos · Dec 4

A cocoon of aspirants in Kisumu East parliamentary seat have united to dislodge area MP Shakeel Shabbir in the coming 2022 general elections.

The five-member team that now calls itself 'The pentagon' has Nahashon Oguya and Joab Ndege, Kevin Amimo, Ben Juma and one John Anditi.

The team basically comprises of busy bodies from different clans within the constituency who are not happy about 'an outsider' leading them.

Oguya was one time the chairman of the Kisumu county public service board while Anditi comes from Kajulu clan with the rest coming from Kolwa, the two are the largest clans in Kisumu East.

'The Pentagon' is experimenting the same scheme that failed in 2017 after Shakeel shocked them by retaining his seat on an independent ticket after defeating the ex-Kenya Sugar board director Nicholas Oricho who relied on ODM euphoria in the region.

The pentagon blamed Oricho for making poorly calculated political moves  that left enough loopholes for Shakeel who is of Asian descent to beat Raila Odinga's candidate.

Oguyo's team claimed that Oricho won the party ticket but was not appealing to the voters at all yet he remained on a comfort zone thinking he had won just because he was an ODM ticket holder.

But even in the neighbouring Kisumu West, MP Olago Aluoch staged a spirited fight and retained his seat on Ford Kenya ticket despite the orange onslaught. Kisumu Governor Prof. Anyang' Nyong'o [p/courtesy] Pentagon operations have left observers poking holes on their mission to unseat Shabbir who continues to enjoy back to back support of the people since 2007.

Shabir took over from the then dismally performing Gor Sungu who had to force himself into retirement from politics and a low profile life after investigations into the murder of former Foreign Affairs minister Robert Ouko left him a marked man.

Sungu once chaired a parliamentary select committee that was probing the brutal murder of ex-foreign affairs minister.

He tried to make a desperate come back after starring in sexual scandals with the widow of the late Luo Rhumba crooner, Musa Juma.

Gor Sungu did not even go beyond party nominations in 2017.

The aggressive scheme to oust Shabbir is not based on his performance but race and solid relationship with the electorate.

Anditi claims that Shabbir's three terms in the office have benefited voters with any development to show a part from perfecting the art of tokenism through maize flour contribution to funerals.

The Pentagon also claims that the slowed development is a result of the bad relationship between the lawmaker and Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o .

Shabbir once embarrassed the governor over plans to build the 63-kilometre Mamboleo- Muhoroni road where Shabbir accused Nyong’o of misleading the public on the planned works on the road.

He made a solo protest to Nyong'o and told people that as a member of the finance committee in the national assembly, there was no budget for the road as claimed by Nyong’o who was out to hoodwink the people for political mileage.

But Shabbir was later left to hang dry after treasury approved Sh4.9 billion for the construction of the sugar belt road.

The pentagon group is also blaming the MP for the general poor academic performance in the constituency with many mixed schools that are poorly equiped.

They are also accusing Shabbir's wife of nepotism and conflict of interest by serving as the constituency manager.

Mileage claims

@yobos · Jul 29

Kenyan parliament in session

Kenyans on Twitter (KoT) have been discussing the exorbitant mileage claims paid in the year 2018/2019 to Members of National Assembly.

Mileage claims is paid to MPs for journey's made to execute their mandate.

In July 2017, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) gazetted new remuneration structure for State officers that proposed a reduction in legislator’s basic salary and scrapping of five allowances including mileage claims.

However, this was overturned later and the blatant waste of public resources using fraudulent claims continued unabated.

It was reported that out of the travel budget, MPs spent Sh2.2 billion on domestic travels in the first nine months of 2018/19 compared to Sh1.1 billion over similar period the previous financial year. Implementation of the SRC’s salary reviews was halted by the High Court in December 2017, allowing Parliament to revert to paying MPs the higher salaries and perks as well as offering them the scrapped Sh5 million car grant. In the leaked documents on Mileage claims, blogger Robert Alai asks Kenyans to inquire from their MPs ' how much in Mileage he/she claims from the National Assembly' KoT joined the conversation sharing their opinion on the fraud committed in the name of representing them.

Some things to note is that Kenyan MPs are paid a lot of money compared to some well-off countries in the world. Ours (Kenya) is not a well-off country. Turkana West MP Daniel Nanok (left) and his Eldas counterpart Adan Keynan. MPs from remote areas of Kenya with nothing to show for even after years of being in parliament and receiving Constituency Development Fund (CDF) for years.

On top of salary and mileage allowance, each MP is paid fixed maintenance car allowance of Sh356,525 per month.

A two time MP from Turkana, Daniel Nanok of Turkana West received Sh17.4 million in 2018 and 2019 in mileage claims.

Adan Keynan, the Secretary of the Jubilee Parliamentary Group claimed Sh21 million both in 2018 and 2019, his Wajir North counterpart Ahmed Abdisalan Ibrahim claimed Sh25 million.

Bomet County women representative Joyce Korir holds the record for the highest mileage claims at Sh43.6 million.

Truly without deceit, a political career is the only thing that pays in this country. This is a place where lazy rich men go to shout to the youths about 'start your own business' or become an entrepreneur yet these same MPs support some backward policies and pass some draconian and stupid laws such as those contained in the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act.

Appalling.

[ad_1] President Uhuru Kenyatta was on Tuesday provided with a brief and will be launching the report to the public on Wednesday.

During the meeting with the taskforce at State House, Nairobi, the President secured the support of opposition leader Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto for the report.

"The Taskforce has offered advice as per its mandate. BBI does not replace any legal or constitutional body. Its recommendations are just that: recommendations based on listening to Kenyan citizens and experts," the briefing document says.

The BBI proposed that the Prime Minister may be dismissed by the President or through a vote of no confidence in the National Assembly.

Another proposal is that the runner-up in a Presidential election becomes an ex-officio Member of Parliament and the Leader of the Official Opposition.

However, this is if his or her party is not represented in the Government, or is the leader of a coalition of Parliamentary parties not represented in the Government.

Another proposal is that the Cabinet shall be drawn from both parliamentarians and technocrats with the latter being made ex-officio Members of Parliament upon successful Parliamentary approval.

The BBI team has also recommended that government should immediately ban all public officers from doing business it as a way to tame corruption.

The team wants the government to reverse and vanquish the 1970 Duncan Ndegwa Commission that allowed public officers to engage in business with government.

Ndegwa who was then the chairman of Central Bank concluded that civil servants should be allowed to engage in private business as a means of augmenting their poor pay.

This was after the late President Jomo Kenyatta administration admitted that it was unable to improve employment terms of the civil servants.

While the law currently does not allow the public officers to do business with government, some uses proxy companies to bid and lobby for multi billion tenders.

The BBI report also proposes that counties be allocated 35 per cent of the national revenue.

Currently, the Constitution provides that at least 15 per cent be allocated to the devolved units. The national government is, however, at liberty to allocate more than 15 per cent of the national revenue to the counties.

“When dividing revenues between counties, use a formula that focuses on ensuring services reach the actual settlements of people so that resources are not allocated on the basis of inhibited landmass,” the BBI report reads.

While noting that devolution has largely been a success, the BBI team said devolved units are still frustrated by serious challenges that need to be addressed.

The report has recommended that the government builds the economy from the grassroots for Kenyans to realise meaningful development.

It said the tax base should be broadened but the overall taxation made lower relative to competitor economies regionally and globally.

“We must entirely transform the way our economy operates if we are to deal with the present lack of jobs,” the report reads.

In this regard, the BBI team said the government should empower young people to have more opportunity and income.

“Minimise taxation of new and small businesses by giving them a tax holiday of at least seven years as a support to youth entrepreneurship and job creation,” the report said.

report has proposed that a commission should be established to manage human resource within the heath sector.

The report recommended the establishment of an independent Health Service Commission to take over from counties.

“Transfer of the health sector personnel element from county governments to an independent Health Service Commission to enable sharing of the very limited health experts,” the report stated.

Counties have been in charge of human resource  management of health workers since the function was devolved at the onset of devolution in 2013.

It will be a big win for women if a proposal is adopted to compel candidates vying for governor to pick deputies of the opposite sex.

The Building Bridges Initiative report proposes that in future, governors and their deputy governors should be of the opposite sex.

During the last election, only a handful of governors appointed deputies from the opposite gender.

The state should eliminate sitting allowances of public officers in both the national and the county governments, the Building Bridges Initiative task force recommends.

MPs and MCAs have been accused of earning huge sitting allowances.

In July 2017, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission abolished MCAs’ mileage reimbursements, sitting allowances for plenary sessions and special responsibility perks.

But last year, the High Court reinstated the benefits, forcing the SRC to return the allowances. [ad_2] Source link

Nyali School principal John Kombo in grey shirt.

Dear Nyakundi,

The subject came into the scene late July 2019 and a lot has transpired since then. Attached (see the end of article) is a summary for your perusal. I am writing to you as a desperate parent who has seen millions getting lost under the hands of the principal John Kombo and the board of management.

Today, I am writing to report to you the conduct of the Citizen journalist Francis Mutalaki.

Since the subject came into the scene, the Principal, John Kombo, has compromised almost everyone in an effort to survive and continue looting our funds. (the following allegations are accompanied by documents attached at the end of the article) The man has compromised the board of management which he himself appointed in shady election and he involves them in looting of school funds. This board has done all what it can to protect their looting colleague. The man has compromised the Nyali police officers and he uses them they way he wants. During the foiled meeting on the 19.10.2019, Nyali police were used to intimidate and harass parents (who are the owners of the school) and barred them from entering the school and conduct a meeting. In the process the Nyali police also arrested 8 workers (who were seen as working with parents to finish the corruption at the school) on that day. Among the 8, only one was taken to court where he was acquitted for wrongful charges. The rest have been reporting to Nyali police since then and each time that have their bonds extended after being forced to give bribes. They have never been taken to court. On several occasions, journalist from main media groups have covered incidents in the school but never end up to be on covered in the news. It is rumored that the principal issues up to 1 million for each those who covered the incidents so as not to cover them in the news. what shocked us parents mostly is that, after the KCPE results were released, journalist Francis Mutalaki who comes from the same village with the looting principal quickly visited the school and lied to Kenyans. In his live coverage ( https://m.facebook.com/watch/?=438427713497053&_rdr ) he lied to Kenyans that Nyali school produced the top student in Mombasa County with Total Marks of 425 (Hanifa Makena). However, the truth is that the top student in Mombasa County was CHAKA DERRICK MWERO from Kenya Navy School (a public school) with 435. Chaka was no. 14th Nationally. Mr. Mutalaki knowingly lied to Kenyans in an effort to give millage to the principal who has been engaging in massive corruption. It is sad that a journalist of his caliber can be used to give mileage to a principal who is accused of massive corruption. In the live coverage, the principal also lied to Kenyans that the school obtained a mean score of 382. while the truth is that the mean score was 365. The principal knowingly lied to Kenyans so as to give himself mileage in his efforts to survive the call by parents to have him ousted for massive corruption . He also lied so as to get BONUS money from the board which he controls. According to his contract, he gets bonus of 150K if the mean score for the School is 385 and above.

Lastly, after a lot of efforts by parents to have a Special General Meeting on 23rd November 2019 and which will be the meeting that will determine the fate of the school principal and the board, already the principal is using all what in his disposal to disrupt the meeting. He has started diving parents on religious lines, he has already alerted Nyali Police that parents want to burn their own school and we hear that GSU have been hired and ready, he is now planning to bring a Nigerian Preacher to pray for the KCPE results (non significant activity), he has started intimidating parents not to try remove him, he has offered the whistle blower whom they sacked 5M and return to job if he denounces his earlier corruption highlights. However, parents have heard enough of him and are just waiting for Saturday to remove the board and the looting principal.

Parents have invited human rights bodies like MUHURI for the meeting. We also request you to attend or send representative, because we have reliable information that the principal has already alerted his Nyali Police to come and have GSU on standby. Parents have demanded that only the Board of Management come for the meeting and NOT the Principal (attached letter). However, the Principal has vowed to come and has even threatened those against him for major consequences.

Please Nyakundi, Please highlight our predicament and rescue our school from the looting principal.

As per the trail Exposé on the botched FDP project costing upwards of KES700 million is grounded on varied strange grounds including alleged wage bill burden attributed to the fired oil/gas masters’ graduates prior to completing full cycle on the job professional training we herein cordially invite you to the expounded episode of NOC murky, shady pet projects clandestinely choreographed to exacerbate corruption in plain hindsight depicting one [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant dotard retiree – Florence Nkirote Gaturu.

A granny who prides herself in living full life cycle and add-on bonus thanks to NOC cabals & being born again revels in countless endowments including but not limited to bouncing grandchildren, (in-laws)sons and daughters holding prime jobs (all at the same very early stages of their careers and life cycles akin to the doomed, sacked Gov’t funded NOC led oil/gas masters’ graduates prior to completing full cycle on the job professional training) thanks to their hypocritical matriarch who would dive for the dollar; pay to play and partake in all sorts of hideous errands at the behest of NOC cabal at the expense of other people’s children and lives. (Umm… “talk of blood is thicker than water as per the cabal & accomplice doctrines”).

On average the hypocritical matriarch has delivered pretty well (material contraband courtesy of schemes) as per NOC cabals’ syndicate masterplan elucidated hereunder save for her flagging inability (attributed to weather beating) to offer sufficient traction where the road meets the rubber leading to the degenerate Kingpin’s inevitable wobbling and ensuing tip-toe in such of a befitting grove as per the pedophile trail Exposé ironically from the same doomed lot (hounded Gov’t funded NOC led oil/gas masters’ graduates prior to completing full cycle on the job professional training) whose careers (besieged and ostracized on multifaceted fronts including having failed to guarantee exclusive comfort woman services or out-rightly repudiating bestial ribald advances from the pedophile Kingpin) were cut short on fabricated trumped-up allegations disguised conveniently as failures of the rigged NOC cabal stage-managed HR interview presided over prejudicially & unprofessionally by vested-interest accomplices namely the degenerate Kingpin, the hypocritical flagging matriarch and the exploitative HR and ratified by managing director – MaryJane Mwangi, the taciturn board of directors led by Kibuga “Kibby” Kareithi, exploitative MoPM (formerly MoEP) PS – Andrew Kamau.

On any ordinary “work day”, the hypocritical matriarch would stalk up well in a variety of drinks and accompaniments befitting her frail nutritional needs while churning archaic relic riddled narratives like humour mill to whoever may care to listen as she whirls her day away thus equivocally accounting for the KES605 thousands contraband aforementioned [purchase requisition - PR shown] as the flagging matriarch strategically camouflage in wait for the cabals signal for the next hideous syndicate juggernaut mission/s narrated hereunder.

By and large with all impartiality observed and egalitarianism factored in light of the hounded young Kenyans from their short-lived careers in NOC (which ought to be unequivocally cherished just like the hypocritical matriarch’s bundles of grandchildren, daughters & in-laws) thanks to the open secret double-standards, the accomplice [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant – Florence Nkirote Gaturu (as soft landing reward) qualifies to provide professional cleaning services in NOC laboratory equipment & apparatus ranging from: titration pipettes, test tubes, mortar & pestle etcetera to supplement her modest pay courtesy of senior citizens pensions programme recipient (just enough to supplement her grandchildren’s modest holiday bills and not risk displaying narcissistic personality disorder gamble playing catch-up rat race post-employment sunset indulging immoderately in grandiose mansion egomaniac status splurge-spree vide hideous windfall-contraband underhand NOC cabal syndicate schemes) whilst equally ensuring the country and NOC gets value for money by re-engaging unconditionally the sacked young Kenyans oil and gas graduates to continue giving back to the society to their epic prime in addition to extending a hand-up to deserving Kenyan university graduates (& undergraduates) to partake on befitting internships prepping them on hands-on industry based competency and capacity adeptness

(otherwise the Ministry of Education – MoE firebrand CS - Professor George Albert Omore Magoha is herein censured lest he forgets that in addition to the arduous task of scrapping 107 degree courses in the proposed varsity reinvigoration reforms, there is no hacky workaround the elephant in the room thus inevitably declaring all petroleum related courses churned in droves at our universities NULL & VOID, for attending a course or not all amounts to FALSE EQUIVALENCE if those who pay, attend & graduate ALL end up hopeless in the streets for one simple fallacy of their would be position remaining a mirage having been sliced & diced, scrambled-gambled-seized by Occupier-Squatter hypocritical matriarch grafted by the daredevils NOC cabal to advance syndicate monkey businesses & never letting go).

Further to the above, it’s unconscionable for the NOC Kingpin racketeer and COMPANY Representative to Kenya Petroleum Tender Assistance Pickings (KEPTAP) – Francis Njuguna Mbugua in conspiracy with NOC managing director – MaryJane Mwangi to bulldoze for the exclusive Second Additional – 4th & 5th two years term Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 Sunset Recall with impunity under dubious, void & wanting NOC laboratory consultancy abysm contract at a staggering KES18 million contraband remuneration, for taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree i.e. a dotard granny - Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’, (ritually adorning tie & dye like black-shoe polished head-gear wig and accessory add-on third leg-stick supporting her wasted frame thrust staggeringly in a pendulum fashion) who currently and/or equally doubles as a recipient on senior citizens pension programme of Kenya.

(hitherto the aforementioned extra two year term 2019 – 2020 dubious, void & wanting consultancy abysm contract, the dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe” was system recycled thus continued to serve First Additional three years consecutive dubious, void & wanting contract stints masquerading as head of NOC Laboratory & geochemical department from 2016 to 2018 with a meteoric contraband remuneration upgrade at KES300 thousands and benefits package plus privileges similar to top management grade and notably dwarfing the preceding modest grade or salary remuneration package at KES97 thousands upon her retirement from sixty years’ service on permanent and pensionable employment with NOC in the year 2015; as an abrasive NOC laboratory gang-manual worker – thin section rock cutter career technician)

The NOC laboratory [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ was engaged by the duo in blatant defiance, total disregard/dismissal and utmost discrimination of the pool of youthful Kenyans endowed with latent but stifled potential talents within and beyond NOC not to mention the essence of time wasted on spent flagging-frame like cartridges who’ve past their fire-by date thus….

(should not contribute to dead space-weight on storage/display shelves (leave alone value driven scientific-engineering decision decks-space) but rather decay radioactively in a befitting dumpsite; or nursed in dedicated senior feeble citizens rehabilitation homes iff-not safely disposed-off within the Kenyan constitution dictums on labor, employment, remuneration, retirement laws underpinned by policy, regulations and guiding ethical principles of equity in timely opportunity access across the generations divide and citizens – akin to voluntary empowerment-in-passing the button seamlessly from senior (flagging wasted dotard analogue) guards to committed talented digital youthful generation guaranteeing performance reinvigoration, streamlined succession planning and implementation thus dampening the negative systemic-parasitic load of flagging fatigue-clip attributed to goose bumps in mentorship and performance deliverables; not to mention the dotard granny never mentored nor delivered any expert level project-assignment report during her entire 60 years NOC employment as a lab gang-manual worker – thin section rock cutter career technician thus rendering the aforementioned dubious, void & wanting NOC laboratory consultancy abysm contract a facade).

The NOC laboratory [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ served, skimmed, leached her entire permanent and pensionable NOC employment contract mileage-time as an abrasive NOC laboratory gang-manual worker – thin section rock cutter career technician in the NOC E&P laboratory until her graceful End of the Road Service and Retirement in 2015 when she expeditiously albeit reluctantly shipped her modest send-off package home.

Consequently (shortly after her retirement send-off bundle), the [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ would instantly embark on lobbying vide proxies - mission christened “operation come-back; re-occuppy cum recapture’’ eventually striking deal with her syndicate racketeer/s Kingpin – Francis Njuguna Mbugua who flagrantly rigged her recall to work masked; sugar-coated under the NOC stage-managed and skewed human resource – HR/procurement Retirees Re-Hiring process – NOCK CEO Maryjane Mwangi MUST be Arrested

(contrary to the Kenyan constitution provisions….remember the trailblazer-highest bar standards set by non-other than the Judiciary Arm of Government, ferociously litigated through the echelons of corridors of justice, marred by injunctions and appeals eventually weathering odds preceding indictments & convictions or amicable settlements; including the Judiciary Service Commission - JSC verdicts endorsements where retirees – high court Judges had to lead by example - exiting the arena under compulsion constitutionally with no option of re-cycling)

The botched aforementioned process rewarded (Second extra two year term 2019 – 2010 at KES18 millions) the [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ to the chagrin of her handlers who previously upon her retirement clandestinely packaged a subjective NOC system re-cycle process (in heist) retaining the dotard granny to serve initial First Additional three years consecutive dubious, void & wanting contract stints from 2016 to 2018 flagrantly strapped with Exponential Promotion to the senior-most managers scale with highest contraband remuneration and benefits package at KES300 thousands monthly, compared to her modest 60 years NOC permanent employment & pre-retirement salary at KES97 thousands monthly.

Taciturn accomplice cabal retiree dotard granny’s flawed NOC laboratory consultancy abysm contract colossal contraband remuneration is meteorically beyond her own precedent capacity & competency compensation as an abrasive NOC laboratory gang-manual worker – thin section rock cutter career technician. Additionally it is astronomically over & above all other existing mainstream, in-house qualified potential candidates in the NOC E&P department at sunrise and prime career stage of permanent and pensionable NOC employment contract thus blatantly stifling their upward mobility of career path progression & development including exacerbating the sacking of – the Gov’t funded NOC led oil/gas masters’ graduates prior to completing full cycle on the job professional training.

(the position she never held even as she unwillingly retired from sixty years’ service on permanent and pensionable NOC employment contract mileage-time-out in the year 2015; as an abrasive NOC laboratory gang-manual worker – thin section rock cutter career technician).

The above script serializing choreographed absolute power is a truism of how power corrupts absolutely iff the trend set in other similar cabal syndicates could be referenced as benchmarks. The runaway like never seen before stage-managed NOC HR/procurement Retirees Re-Hiring, re-use and re-cycling and reclamation process whilst sterilizing the system of committed qualified youthful generation is for sure the exceptional gift that keeps giving as epitomized by two extremes i.e.

On one hand the [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ upon retirement in 2015 is rigged back-in the caliphate NOC system to continue working - First Additional three years consecutive dubious, void & wanting contract stints from 2016 to 2018 and subsequently rewarded (Second extra two year term 2019 -2010) at a hooping KES18 millions.

On the other hand the sacking of – the Gov’t funded NOC led oil/gas masters’ graduates prior to completing full cycle on the job professional training) under abhorrent mysterious aforementioned serialized profiling by the NOC cabal including alleged ballooning wage bill despite their invaluable (industry relevant) potential to the corporation in comparison to the tethered mortgagee [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ with no value addition save for strategically offering a syndicate conduit for the accomplice NOC cabal fraternity exacerbating flagrant rip-off.

It is worth pointing that the [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ unrelenting re-cycling retention (for additional 5 years up to the year 2020 way beyond her formal retirement in 2015) into the NOC cabal network by her handlers notably Francis Njuguna Mbugua “Kingpin racketeer” and cohort MaryJane Mwangi “Alibaba” is not a free lunch ticket but rather an excruciating and borne crushing ordeal thanks to her naivety and complicity in myriad corruption scandals involving NOC E&P lab construction and equipment purchase projects funding from the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining - MoPM (formerly MoEP) amounting to KES600 millions perpetrated by the NOC cabal under her watch and complicity from 2016 – 2018.

Despite the [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant cumulative second two year term 2019 – 2020 contraband remuneration disguised as consultancy abysm fee broken down as KES605 thousands per month (in addition to the two year cumulative benefits amounting to KES3.5 million, the dotard granny only bags KES300 thousands monthly and humbly cedes the balance of the loot to the NOC E&P Francis Njuguna Mbugua “Kingpin racketeer” which he enjoys unapologetically and shamelessly (notwithstanding Block 14T riddled in laundering up to KES1 billion in excess of the contract price by BGP censured for colluding with the Kingpin racketeer – Francis Njuguna wa’ Mbugua & allied NOC cabals in 2D seismic survey 2016/2017 tender scams in our trail Exposé).

The NOC managing director MaryJane Mwangi “Alibaba” in conspiracy with the exploitative NOC Board of Directors led by the Chairman Kibuga ‘Kibby’ Kareithi “cabals’ errands/spanner boy”, Francis Njuguna Mbugua “Kingpin racketeer” and with complementary taciturnity of the [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ as the defacto NOC lab projects representative have concertedly systematically and clandestinely diverted cumulative KES580 million out of the total KES600 million aforementioned MoPM (formerly MoEP) lab projects funding from E&P to NOC downstream division accounts fraudulently vide laundering schemes embedded in charade – partial patch/shore up of the loot–hole of massive losses (attributed to the trending NOC blatant fuel theft amounting to approximately KES1.7 Billion and myriad downstream scandalous pet projects worth hundreds of millions of Kenya shillings).

Additionally – NOC E&P lab project remissions and hitherto cash cow National Data Repository Center - NDRC data sales (capitated blatantly, annexed/captured by the Kingpin racketeer’s Francis Njuguna wa’ Mbugua mobile seismic data contraband with exclusive paid access rights to IOC) revenue upwards of KES100 million annually being declared as NOC fuel retail (downstream) division profits in a staged-managed, creative accounting/auditing process and presentations (led by the wily insidious conniving strategy officer advisor to the cabal syndicate projects “heir apparent to the thrown” – Ken Kiumbe Mugambi) to stakeholders including but not limited to credit partners, banks, KRA, Auditor General, Gov’t Treasury/shareholder and obfuscating MoPM (formerly MoEP) & NOC Board of Directors hoodwinking them to buy-in the perception fool’s paradise (ruse & hoax) of the corporations good financial standing.

The [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ masquerading as head of NOC Laboratory & geochemical department from 2016 to 2018 thus the defacto NOC lab projects representative; a wheeler dealer busybody nosy parker rubberneck buttinsky for the cabals attends sticky-beaking at any team and every projects planning, design, budget estimation plenaries; awaiting to the very end to collect final projects document proposal for submission to MoPM (formerly MoEP) for approval thus gate pass to funds transfer cum cabal syndicate windfall. Obsessed with the need for secrecy and the dangers of indiscretion, upon Lab projects funds transfer from the MoPM (formerly MoEP) to NOC E&P accounts, the dotard granny sunders network with the “figure head/s” lead technical team on progressive engagement on the project implementation/use of the available funds whilst giving discretion to her handlers and conspirators to divert the funds as aforementioned,

(a vitriol vicious cycle corruption plague which have ruined all NOC lab projects funds remissions with not a single project to show or account for all the moneys received).

Consequently, the MoPM (formerly MoEP) moratorium on further funds transfer towards NOC E&P lab projects became real in quarter one of 2018, vindicated by the Kingpin racketeer – Francis Njuguna Mbugua broadsides on the MoPM (formerly MoEP) displeasure with MaryJane Mwangi’s unrelenting flagrant diversion of the additional latest and probably final KES300 million transfer within two weeks was censured as criminal thus were threatening (considering) possible litigation proceedings against NOC cabal.

The Kingpin racketeer – Francis Njuguna Mbugua subsequently rallied MaryJane Mwangi to go on damage control & start-up a tactic (NOC lab construction and equipment supplies tender adverts) of buying time to put a show to the MoPM (formerly MoEP) that something is being done. Despite the contract for lab construction award upwards of KES65 million in quarter 4, 2018, nothing has progressed up to present due to conflict of interest and mischief read by the contractor on the part of the serial Kingpin racketeer – Francis Njuguna Mbugua who adamantly and openly solicits for bribes disguised as “headmen windfall akin to Block 14T BGP seismic tender scam spoils scoop” vide emissary the [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu leading to gridlock-stalemate. We posit the trend will perpetuate into equipment supplies contracts at the opportune time whilst the aforementioned impasse over the Kingpin racketeer’s insatiable unwarranted demands will be met one way or the other at any time (&/or no time) by march wheeler dealers on backup wait list ready to gamble it all in paying-to-play the NOC cabal poker syndicate.

The dotard granny [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant mission is to facilitate covert operations in which the NOC cabals in cahoots with KEPTAP conspirators’ lifts, duplicates portions of the aforementioned existing original documents on MoPM (formerly MoEP) approved and funded NOC E&P laboratory design/construction projects/equipment; subsequently “repackaging the same at best” or “creating offshoot-pseudo design consultancy abysm ghost projects at worst” culminating with the KEPTAP approval and fraudulent funding for instance the controversial:-

(NOC E&P Core laboratory design consultancy abysm work awarded to a company called Tsavo Oilfield Services Limited (TOS) for three months – 1st quarter 2019, at a hooping KES21 million contraband windfall funding sourced from Kenya Petroleum Tender Assistance Pickings - KEPTAP wheeler dealer conspirators – contrary to professional internal peer reviewed design proposal and construction budget (already documented in the trailblazer NOC in-house & pre-existing project report) at KES26 million). ` Thus the further retention of the [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant, taciturn accomplice cabal flagging frail retiree dotard granny – Florence Nkirote Gaturu “Habibi Amar Kongwe’’ masquerading as subject matter expert - SME of NOC Laboratory construction cum the defacto projects representative for second two year term from 2019 to 2020; by the NOC cabal handlers is at best a “ruse” and at worst a “hoax” hidden in plain hindsight.

Botched competency development and capacity building project worth upwards of KES700 millions thanks to the unchained “pedophile” Kingpin – Francis Njuguna Mbugua and accomplices managing director MaryJane Mwangi, human resource manager – Cecilia Kalungu Uvyu, wily insidious conniving strategy officer advisor to the cabal syndicate projects “heir apparent to the thrown” – Ken Kiumbe Mugambi, taciturn board of directors led by Kibuga “Kibby” Kareithi, exploitative MoPM (formerly MoEP) PS – Andrew Kamau and [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant – Florence Nkirote Gaturu.

Umm…..on the heels of unwarranted sacking of the young competent Kenyans based on unfounded allegations aforementioned in our trail Exposé, the appendage goons for hire - NOC HR in conspiracy with the cabal fraternity were quick to clandestinely unveil bespoke orientation for her royal highness and the princess (daughter to the managing director - MaryJane Mwangi); followed shortly by equally befitting orientation for her royal highness and the princess (daughter to the board of directors chairman – Kibuga “Kibby” Kareithi) under watertight VIP handlers cum security contingents leading to a complete lockdown of the designated stations lasting the whole day on the two different occasions alone, however graduating with NOC cabal accolades of the surreal orientation ordeal leaving the bewildered ordinary NOC employees & third rate Kenyan’s to ponder what the hell awaits as the countdown to fill up the void (left by the doomed sacked competent Kenyans) in the oblique future draws closer if only the tailor-made bespoke and advance orientation of the more deserving plutocrats underlings could offer some clues on reading the stars right.

Even ringing more hollow (on the heels of unwarranted sacking of the young competent Kenyans based on unfounded allegations aforementioned in our trail Exposé) is the putative diversion of the upwards of KES50 million attributed to the balance (off the cumulative funding of the aforementioned botched competency development and capacity building project worth upwards of KES700 millions) by the wily insidious conniving strategy officer advisor to the cabal syndicate projects “heir apparent to the thrown” – Ken Kiumbe Mugambi vide proposal through complicit HR to re-allocate the contraband funds to syndicate project disguised as NOC 15 year transformation plan purportedly contracted to Information Handling Services - IHS Markit Ltd. International as the public relations – PR led cum figure-head consultants while clandestinely concealing the identity of the main beneficiary and designate “local content” company fronted by the cabal called Energy Solutions Africa Limited – ESAL.

Energy Solutions Africa Limited – ESAL are amongst countless proxy shale companies (the compromised brokers/lobbyists masquerading as Local Content care taker entity who are best used as conduits to launder money or contract facilitation surcharge to the local boys blatantly disregarding the additional/pseudo parasitic costs and value erosion attributed to such arrangements.

Magnanimous public coffers rip-offs upwards of hundreds of millions of Kenya shillings have been perpetrated vide World Bank Loan funding (amounting upwards of KES800 millions annually for 5 years starting 2016 - 2021) entrusted to the exploitative Kenya Petroleum Tender Assistance Pickings - (KEPTAP) accomplice and conspiratorial managers (David Wainaina and Michael Maina Kinyua) with complimentary taciturnity from the lead beneficiary and MoPM (formerly MoEP) PS - Andrew Kamau.

Energy Solutions Africa Limited – ESAL public relations – PR team are:

Doris Mwirigi - (Managing Director, Legal, Oil & Gas) & (Shareholder ESAL) Haig Aseda - (Director Finance, Oil & Gas) & (Shareholder ESAL) Susane Hounsell - (Director-Economics, Power and Renewables)

[Others: Nelson O. Mudibo; Yvonne Otweyo; Hannan Y. Ebrahim; Odhiambo A. Rittah; Momanyi E. Gekonge; Tabitha Munyisi]

Energy Solutions Africa Limited – ESAL clandestine shareholders and proxy cabals are:–

Ken Kiumbe Mugambi - (Shareholder ESAL) (-double-dip sticky-beak back-stabbing, double-dealing twister scavenging for vintage-privileged information, contracts-deals in KEPTAP/NOC covertly for proxy ESAL) (-the wily insidious conniving strategy officer advisor to the NOC cabal syndicate projects “heir apparent to the thrown”)

Martin Mungai - (Shareholder ESAL) (-double-dip sticky-beak back-stabbing, double-dealing twister scavenging for vintage-privileged information, contracts-deals in KEPTAP/MoPM covertly for proxy ESAL) [-having survived the double jeopardy of a botched quest for defacto NOC E&P general manager - GM & still-birth quest for [remarkably inept]abysmal NOC E&P Economist courtesy of the Kingpin’s unrelenting siege] (-the current masquerader [remarkably inept]abysmal commercial advisor officer to the MoPM cum syndicate projects personal assistant - PA to MoPM (formerly MoEP) PS - Andrew Kamau).

We posit in retrospect to the revelations that the soiled diapers must inevitably be disposed-off irrespective of rank and file in order to achieve any meaningful progress otherwise Kenyans risk losing it all akin to throwing the baby with the birth-tab……..make sense??

Parting shot about transformation plan to nowhere (courtesy of sampled WhatsApp excerpts from dejected NOC clients) save for enriching the architects of the syndicate led by wily insidious conniving strategy officer advisor to the cabal syndicate projects “heir apparent to the thrown” – Ken Kiumbe Mugambi.

Umm…..talk of giving a paid pipe dream about building castles (shelters plus) in the air to very informed audience who knows too well that you personally do not have a roof over your head to call your own (thus rich in rhetoric & no walk of the talk).

We can guarantee 100% that the work shall be done as a routine (& the cabals will clandestinely carry their sanitized loot home) and some assemblage of report will end up in NOC shelves to gather dust for just like similar heavily funded ventures before the aforementioned merchandised 15 year transformation plan, which (then marketing manager and now) managing director – MaryJane Mwangi shelved and never allowed to see the light of the day as it was perceived by accomplices to be dangerous for their survival.

Additionally, drawing such a meticulous plan repeatedly taking into account of the existence of the same at exorbitant fee (assuming the presumptive contractor/s and rationale for the exercise are justified which aren’t in this instance) without any sketch of a plan of the funding sources (not to mention any proof of progress as a continuation basis on the previous attempts) is a hare-brained scheme in futility (as expressed by the sentiments of dejected NOC clients above).

In the words of a legendary figure, loathed and liked in equal measures….”there is a special place in hell for the NOC cabal daredevils dreaming of propping castles in the air without any sketch of a plan how to build it”.

Finally, he who laughs lasts blasts loudest….thus the Kingpin & cahoots having weathered the hurdle of inserting the flagging matriarch – Florence Nkirote Gaturu as [remarkably inept]abysmal consultant vide NOC consultancy abysm, [notwithstanding the upwards of KES600 millions lab construction & equipment supplies censured theft]we can guarantee that a reminiscent of Block 14T seismic survey tender scams is rife & in the offing for re-enact-ion or reincarnation [premiere season finale] whereby a second lot upwards of KES1 billions will be churned (jointly from KEPTAP & MoPM) purportedly for lab construction & equipment supplies contracts with only a quarter of the funds committed to real work whilst the tail-spread, spill-over excess just like the Block 14T Bureau of Geopolitical Prospecting – BGP assisted laundering will be sanitized by the cabals and the Kingpin racketeer – Francis Njuguna Mbugua in concert with the matriarch – Florence Nkirote Gaturu as usual through fronts/shale companies

(& we bet the hard-faced racketeer Kingpin will blatantly dare Kenyans then just as he’s now with regard to the obnoxious Block 14T tender scoop contraband windfall, solemnly patter spieling and pitching rat-arsed …..“if [Kingpin]he cannot stare at his nude arse rass breech, the mere staring of his bare-assed cum starkers by other Kenyans is not proof enough……..how convenient??)

[Parting shot]the absurd cost of sustaining the thieving managing director – MaryJane Mwangi by our NOC [deplorable/s]directors.

Doomed are [Kenyans]you who do not partake in the lucrative board of directors appointments [NOC]especially in the government of the day hands-free reign cum soft-ball management style.

For once the managing director – MaryJane Mwangi may be spared undivided wholesome blame for she is just but a [screwball]sycophant victim-disciple of the Kingpin racketeer – Francis Njuguna Mbugua who we’ve learn from reliable sources to be adept mercenary-gold-digger at using and abusing positions of power to advance personal interest by whatever means necessary.

[Thus posing the cruncher facer stumper conundrum]: is the poseur-pseud “Tail - Kingpin Racketeer” – Francis Njuguna Mbugua wagging the “Dog - Screwball Alibaba” – MaryJane Mwangi or vice-versa [otherwise may the real King-boss stand up to be counted??.......NOPE-yea].

The foolhardy managing director having consistently implemented [the Kingpin’s verbatim advice on cheaply compromising the insatiable and “allegedly destitute” directors vide fabricated lavish globetrotting trips/flawed contracts supplementing the meagre sitting allowance]to the hindmost whether misusing/abusing the Kenya Petroleum Tender Assistance Pickings resources and/or the bankrupt NOC has evolved full cycle manifesting itself in wieldy reprehensible forms to say the least [all for the guarantee of complementary taciturnity and commendation-praise of the NOC cabal by the accomplice fraternity board of directors notwithstanding the flagrant ransacking of the public corporation resources].

[Spot on]amongst many globetrotting usurping of public coffers is a lavish [CERAWeek conference Houston]trip of a kind minted by the remarkably inept duo wily insidious conniving strategy officer advisor to the cabal syndicate projects “heir apparent to the thrown” – Ken Kiumbe Mugambi in cahoots with the NOC Kingpin racketeer – Francis Njuguna Mbugua (both double-dips angling as [NOC]COMPANY Representative to Kenya Petroleum Tender Assistance Pickings – KEPTAP)incorporating [the buyable goon-for-hire]Director Sam Gakunga notorious for taking unorthodox positions [together with accomplice director Stanley Kamau]vetoing on numerous occasions the concerted board of directors meeting resolutions to censure [and send-off on compulsory leave to allow for impartial probe]the thieving managing director MaryJane Mwangi.

[Generically CERAWeek]an annual energy conference organized by information and insights company [otherwise Information Handling Services]IHS Markit in Houston, Texas. Wikipedia. The screw-up misadventure is not with the conference itself but rather the mix-up on the side of NOC mirrored in multifaceted flaws ranging from recycling the egocentric remarkably inept duo [as with every other conference since 2016 notwithstanding their censured flagrant commonplace tender/alternate scams]to merely accompany [as right-hand-butler/men]the equally haughty inept and deplorably corrupt director Sam Gakunga hobnobbing with [modest attendee/s]delegates at the conference beyond [their]NOC cabal purview in view of wanting hideous censure-ships.

To add insult to injury, is the flawed double payment KES342, 548.01divvied up between the troika cabal honchos [disguised as supplementary PR]beyond the approved and paid per diem/contingencies KES1, 429,600.00 [cheap fraudulent rip-off thus totally offering the corporation no value for perpetually divesting the in serial thieving double-dip staffs & exploitative board member].

Lest [Kenyans]you forget that the botched NOC cabal Mwananchi [gas yetu or “our”]gas project exorbitantly funded by the government in 2016/2017 upwards of KES4 billion riddled with [design flaws affecting]over half the total gas cylinders [defective]was headed by the duo cabal junkies Ken Kiumbe Mugambi and director Sam Gakunga.

Fast-forward it is commonplace that the supposedly stellar project was predacious-ransacked flagrantly vide syndicate contracts to proxy front/s companies including censured ESAL and affiliates glaringly wanting in capacity/competency to undertake and deliver to required international standards the job at hand save for maneuvers and manipulation [of the misused/abused discriminatory]platform christened Access to Government Procurement Opportunities – AGPO often gamed by the extended cabal fraternity rank and file who preferentially influences contract awards to proxy broker/lobbyist entity safeguarding their interest often in laundered money at the expense of project value deliverables envisaged in time cost and quality.

[Whilst]the lead honcho Ken Kiumbe Mugambi on the contrary thrived [ended up]buying a palatial luxury villa befitting egotistical status at the affluent Mountain-View neighborhoods at the tax payers cost.

By and large the censured front company ESAL [among a barrage of allied shadowy companies]has particularly benefited vide egregious flawed [shindig]foraying contracts dubbed local capacity development training in spheres well beyond the purview of its public relations – PR team & extended nutjob masquerading abysmal consultants wanting in [commonplace]remarkable ineptitude not to mention the allied bizarre [cryptic shareholders]duo double-dip sticky-beak back-stabbing, double-dealing twister scavenging for vintage-privileged information, contracts-deals in KEPTAP/MoPM/NOC covertly for proxy ESAL.

Thus up to present launder-divesting unto the [ESAL]accounts upwards of KES170 millions courtesy of Kenya Petroleum Tender Assistance Pickings – KEPTAP[alone] thanks to [Uncle Tom]“a blinkered attitude” MoPM [formerly MoEP] PS – Andrew Kamau’s [clout leverage rank muscle say-so power control paramountcy predominance puissance ascendancy hegemony supremacy bias sway maneuver teeth].

[Kenyans]your guess may be forgiven for wondering around like a desperado tinkering over a swanky befitting jackpot contraband [worthy of Kenyans]your cheap-buyable unappeasable and “allegedly destitute” director”, …..[as per “the Kingpin’s verbatim advice to the foolhardy managing director”]Sam Gakunga annexed/seized/expropriated for himself on this premiere season finale hunting [splurge-spree]foray.

Never mind for we can candidly confirm from reliable sources that the nutjob conspiratorial bidding at the managing directors behest by the duo rogue directors [Sam Gakunga & Stanley Kamau never go empty handed].

Starting with the [watershed]fuel thieving [lodestar guide]scandal upwards of KES350 million at Mombasa [alone]comprising the censured proxy contractor Great White Investments Limited purportedly offering services to Kenya Ports Authority – KPA on behalf of the NOC cabal, the exploitative director Sam Gakunga is a [cryptic]proxy beneficiary flagrantly ripping public coffers.

Additionally the equally exploitative director Stanley Kamau is a [double-dip Janus-faced]beneficiary of the diverted fuel contraband from a wide network of NOC cabal proxy transporters who clandestinely empties the censured pillage fuel haul into his [personal upwards of two]retail stations all at the taxpayers cost ripping revenue proceeds off seemingly legitimate business without spending a dime.

[May be not]or may be partly the reason for the duo junky directors to act like trojan horses to voices of reason as censured herein………….with the wisdom of time, the oracle/s will sure bring revelations to the fore vindicating our pitch.

@yobos · Nov 28

There was drama, name calling , noise and trading vile on Citizen TV interview moderated by Hussein Mohammed between senate Majority leader Hon Kipchumba Murkomen and Cherangany MP Hon Joshua Kuttuny. Hon Kuttuny accused senator Murkomen of defending maize cartels who looted funds meant for maize farmers while Murkomen accused Kuttuny for cheap publicity and looking for political mileage by linking DP Ruto to the shameful Maize scandal that has seen Kalejin farmers suffer in the hands of Jubilee regime. Hon Murkomen was however unable to explain why a company associated with DP Ruto was in the list of those being investigated by the ethics and anti-corruption commission and the directorate of criminal intelligence. Hon Kuttuny dug deeper by accusing Murkomen of lying to farmers, he said north rift farmers had diversified into other farming including horticulture and dairy farming but their produce was rotting in the farms for lack of cooling facilities, Kuttuny said the region also needs factories to process farm produce as an add value so that farmers can maximise profits and promote employment opportunities mashinani. He faulted Jubilee for reneging on promises since 2013

Hon Murkomen who seemed visibly angry resorted to name calling and making wild allegations to embarrass Kuttuny who was clearly the man of moment given his factual account of problems facing farmers. Murkomen: “The thermometer for sycophancy is you Kuttuny. The deputy president picked you from the bush where you were selling charcoal and made you MP. Kuttuny: “I picked you in the streets and took you to parliament. I used to give you money every week; my wife used to support you. Even the car you used to campaign- Harrier- was mine, I gave you.” Kutuny.

Murkomen also hinted that Kuttuny is in the radar of Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) over links with drug barons -the Akasha brothers.

Kuttuny defended hismself saying Murkomen lacked facts and was only dragging his name in the mud to divert attention from the Maize scandal.

Kikuyu equation in Uhuru succession – Weekly Citizen

@yobos · Oct 15

William Kabogo, Peter Kenneth and President Uhuru Kenyatta Uhuru Kenyatta gave Raila Odinga a standing ovation when Raila arrived for the burial of legendary musician Joseph Kamaru in Murang’a. A president is not expected to stand to greet people as he is the head of state but in Murang’a, Uhuru defied protocol, stood up and greeted Raila with two hands forcing William Ruto to follow suit. Raila was cheered when he arrived at the funeral and when he was given a chance to address the mourners, ululations rent the air as he explained that the Building Bridges Initiative is not about the 2022 succession debate.

His speech was continuously interrupted with applause from the public, in a region that overwhelmingly voted for Uhuru and Ruto in last year’s election. “I told the president that we should shake hands as Kenyans watch. The handshake was meant to unite Kenyans and has nothing to do with 2022 because that will come and go,” Raila said. The ODM leader and former Kiambu governor William Kabogo became the centre of attraction in the burial of the crooner as there was prolonged cheering as they were introduced. For Kabogo, who has openly declared he will campaign against Ruto in 2022, he is trying to position himself as the choice to inherit the leadership mantle from Uhuru and signs are evident that he will team up with the ODM leader.

Ruto’s foes in the region were vocal with nominated MP Maina Kamanda telling off those opposing the handshake between Uhuru and Raila. The former Starehe MP blames Ruto for his loss in the Jubilee Party primaries. Speaking in Kiswahili, Kamanda whose ancestral roots are in Murang’a, claimed: “Raia wa kawaida wamefaidika sana na handshake lakini viongozi kwa vile wanataka viti bado ndio wana maneno lakini raia wako sawasawa”. Ironically, Central province people doing small trade in Nairobi are said to have suffered the most from the handshake as the authorities now demolish their business structures aware that Raila will not raise a finger as he was wont to in the past to gain political mileage bashing the government. The increase in tax on fuel that has seen the poor, many who hail from Central, suffer more, is also attributed to the handshake as Uhuru having tamed Raila knows that the poor are on their own because Raila who has made his name by ostensing to fight for them is tightly zipped in the mouth for now.

Since the March 9 Uhuru-Raila handshake, there has been murmurs both in the Jubilee Party and Nasa with allies of the two leaders who felt left out in the process leading to the pact silently and at times openly questioning it.

Indeed, when the president rose to address the mourners, he told off critics of the unity deal saying they should not be derailed by petty politics.

The president and Raila fought back claims that their unity deal was meant to scuttle Ruto’s presidential ambitions in 2022, claiming the March 9 handshake was aimed at healing a wounded nation that for years has been divided along tribal lines.

Since striking a political deal with Uhuru, Raila has been trying to gain a foothold in Mt Kenya politics with losers in the last elections gravitating towards him. An insider says Uhuru handlers are aware last year presidential elections results were interfered with as the Supreme Court ruled and the decision by Raila to boycott repeat played in his hands. To Uhuru men, if Raila plays his cards well and sells the notion his elections have been stolen thrice, create a leadership vacuum in opposition and eventually reclaim it after the referendum, he will win sympathy across and give Ruto a run for his money by consolidating his opposition powerbase and penetrate Mt Kenya region.

By August last year, the vote-rich region comprising 10 counties appeared locked behind Ruto to succeed Uhuru in 2022.

Mount Kenya region consists of 10 counties — Embu, Kiambu, Kirinyaga, Laikipia, Meru, Murang’a, Nakuru, Nyandarua, Nyeri and Tharaka Nithi — that traditionally vote together because of the perceived ethnic bonds of the communities.

By 2022, the region will have more registered voters, which is making it a target for both Ruto and Raila.

Also, the region does not have a strong presidential candidate and given the fact that it has produced three of the four presidents, the electorate is without option but to back a candidate from outside the community.

The ODM leader has increased his forays and interaction with the Kikuyu community as he seeks to wash away the tag that he is their enemy number one. Raila, to win the community, is pushing for a referendum to introduce a position of prime minister to be daggled to Kikuyu.

Raila of late has also been preaching the pre- independent power deal in which his late father Jaramogi Odinga Oginga said no independence without the release of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta to sell the point, the Luo and Kikuyu can work together. To Raila, the bad relationship between Kenyatta and his father then vice-president was due to the cold war of Americans and Russians.

Recently, Raila met leaders from Mt Kenya East who while pledging their support for him should he contest in 2022, attacked Ruto.

Leaders who met the former premier were drawn from Meru, Tharaka Nithi and Embu counties. The attack on the DP was the second by leaders from the region.

In June, a grouping calling itself Kikuyu Council of Elders asked Ruto to retire alongside Uhuru in 2022. Since the handshake, Raila has hosted many high-profile politicians, businessmen and professionals from the Mt Kenya region at his Capitol Hill office in Nairobi.

Most of the politicians visiting to consult lost in the last elections and have a grievance real or imagined against Ruto saying that he was the cause of their loss “because he does not want strong leaders in Central”. In defence, Ruto said that he would be daft as a politician to want weak leaders because a smart politician prefers the strong leaders who can easily win him influence where they come from. The losers include Kabogo, former MPs Jamleck Kamau of Kigumo, Kabando Wa Kabando, Mukurueini and Ndung’u Gethenji, Tetu.

There are also MPs like Nyeri Town’s Ngunjiri Wambugu who have stated their reluctance to back the DP.

Ruto’s role during last year’s Jubilee nominations appears to have worked against him as far as the losers are concerned, with some claiming he plotted their downfall.

Kabogo and former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth are among leaders from the Kikuyu community who have publicly claimed Ruto orchestrated their downfall.

Ruto’s other headache is who to pick as his running mate in Central Kenya with some of his allies pushing for Tharaka Nithi senator and senate deputy speaker Kindiki Kithure from Mt Kenya East.

But Ruto’s dilemma is that leaders from Murang’a county have made it clear that his running mate must come from the region to be guaranteed the over 500,000 votes. Raila is aware of Ruto plan to name a Kikuyu either from Muranga and Kirinyaga as his deputy.

The argument being, Kiambu has produced president twice, Nyeri once and now is the turn for either Muranga or Kirinyaga to be in the presidency.

On the other side, Raila in his calculations wants the Kikuyu who have enjoyed presidency to occupy the position of prime minister with power similar to deputy presidency.

Signs of the DP’s murky politics in Central Kenya has seen his allies in the region resort to wait-and-see power strategy.

There have been claims that some influential Kikuyus with State House connections who fear a new power setup are quietly backing Raila’s referendum push to radically change the structure of the executive and edge out Ruto in the Uhuru succession race.

Those being named as behind this plot include Interior principal secretary Karanja Kibicho, former presidential adviser Nancy Gitau and State House Comptroller Kinuthia Mbugua who also blames Ruto for his loss of Nakuru governor’s seat. Francis Kimemia, Nyandarua governor, former chief of the General Staff Julius Karangi are also mentioned.

Also on the loop is Jubilee Party vice chairman David Murathe, and a member of the First Family who are said to clandestinely supporting the law change to lock out Ruto.

According to analysts, Mount Kenya region elite is torn between supporting Raila and Ruto. The poor who outbalance the rich by 9 to 1 and who have nothing to lose and so the elite’s gospel that Ruto will upstage the applecart is to them alien language, are however firmly behind Ruto. Politically, the Kikuyus were always divided along regional lines, with Kiambu supporting Kanu in 2002 when Uhuru first contested for the presidency while Nyeri, Kirinyaga and Murang’a supported Mwai Kibaki.

Pundits say this might play out again in 2022, with one region supporting the DP while the rest will throw their weight behind Raila in case he runs. For now, if Raila is not in the race 2022, the region will fall in Ruto hands.

Sources say Uhuru does not want to come out and annoint his successor and wants to play it safe the way Kibaki did in 2013 to allow Kenyans to decide. Uhuru fear also is, he does not want to fall in the same trap as it happened with former president Daniel arap Moi whose Uhuru 2002 project failed. Uhuru wants to influence his succession behind scenes. This would, however, be seen as a betrayal to Ruto who has stood by him in two elections and could turn the rest of the country against Kikuyus as conniving and untrustworthy partners in effect pitting 42 against one again.

In Central, the anti-Ruto group is selling the narrative, it would be suicidal to give another Kalenjin the presidency, to rubbish Ruto’s bid to get Kikuyu votes. This as if the presidency last time did not move from a Kikuyu to a Kikuyu.

To this group, being on the same side with Ruto in 2013 was convenient to take “muthamaki” to State House. It ended at that. There is also talk that they do not owe anyone any debt. 2022 might be the year when they finally decide to have their payback.

The situation is further exacerbated by the 2017 Jubilee nominations, where Ruto was seen to influence the outcome is Central Kenya. There is a feeling residents were shortchanged by having their strong leaders replaced with people seen as weak, both politically and intellectually. But there are those of the view Ruto has done a lot for the people of the Central region, personally conducting fundraisers in the area and initiating various development projects and therefore deserves their support.

Raila, who has fared badly in the region in his past presidential bids of 1997, 2007, 2013 and 2017, has been demonised as one who would stoke anarchy and implement policies that would hurt businesses and agricultural economies that the Central Kenya residents rely on.

There has also been the myth of historical rivalry between the Luo and Kikuyu communities, over which his critics claim he would be inclined to settle scores.

But with the handshake, the mood in Central Kenya is like the one in 2002 when Raila was embraced by the region which nicknamed him ‘Mutongoria njamba’ (strong leader).

But come the 20o7 election, he was referred to as ‘Kimundu kiguruki’ (madman). Surprisingly Musalia Mudavadi and Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka are not featuring anywhere in the region. Will, the race end up a two-horse race between Ruto and Raila or a walkover for Ruto if Raila chickens out.

Analysts say Raila is working on a political formula in which he is to be seen as the only serious challenger of Ruto both with Jubilee and Nasa coalition and that is why he has been hosting Ruto political enemies in Jubilee at his Upper Hill office playing his political cards close to his chest but targeting the Kikuyu community more than Rutu Kalenjin one.

Raila is aware, the Kalenjin community has no time for Gideon Moi presidency but value Ruto.If Kalenjins are allowed to team with Kikuyus, then Ruto dream of occupying state house cannot be wished away. Source link

CAPTION: The retarded Professor Julia Ojiambo, one of the devil’s who formulated the 8-4-4 education system. Parliament has ordered her to immediately vacate KNDI. In what is becoming a routine, Cyprian Nyakundi the People’s Blogger has delivered another victory for Kenyan Nutritionists. After we ran a series of articles detailing endemic corruption and systemic rot at the Kenya Nutritionists and Dieticians Institute (KNDI), their parent association which should have been proactive on the matter from the get-go, were summoned to Parliament by the House Committee on Health.

The Union is now purporting to have worked behind the scenes, and exploiting the mileage we gave Dieticians woes to ask them to pay up their membership fee’s. Such opportunists.

Meanwhile, the committee on health of Parliament has ordered Professor Julia Ojiambo to immediately vacate KNDI, because they have illegally stayed in office.

We normally assist interest groups in digital activism, but some like the Kenya Clinical Officers Union were duped by their officials from going that route, and wasting their money on generic media campaigns. They have yet to be registered.

Our interest to have Professor Julia Ojiambo kicked out of KNDI was inspired largely by the fact that she is one of the retarded idiots that formulated the 8-4-4 education system, which has entrenched stupidity and anti-intellectualism in the country. Such people deserve nothing but life-sentences in maximum security because of wasting an entire generation.

With no honour or shame, the same Julia Ojiambo then made Nutritionist students travel all the way to Funyula for a graduation ceremony, simply because the retarded Professor hails from the region and harbours political interests there. How dumb!

We will not sit by and watch members of the older generation ruining and wrecking our lives, simply because they assume that they’re God’s gift to humanity.

CAPTION: Doctors Union (KMPDU) officials, after a Jubilee judge sentenced them to one month jail time. Doctors have vowed NEVER to treat policemen and their families, after Police Commissioner Boinnet dispatched General Service Unit officers, to intimidate doctors and Kenyans of goodwill, standing vigil at the Railways Club last night.

The vigil, organised by Doctors umbrella body KMPDU, came in the wake of a pathetic ruling by some industrial court judge, who working at the behest of the Jubilee Government, tried to impose a negotiating bargain through extortionist and sexual-deviant Francis Atwoli.

But firm in their resolve, Doctors rejected the prescription offered by the Jubilee judge, who in her infinite wisdom, resorted to cheap threats and theatrics, in a bid to further intimidate doctors.

Unlike dumb Kenya Airways (KQ) pilots union officials who were bribed by Transport CS James Macharia to call off their strike, or moronic KNUT officials led by extortionist Wilson Sossion who was bribed in Statehouse to betray teachers, Doctors led by young, smart and intelligent individuals have declined all attempts to be compromised or intimidated.

The future of Kenya will be determined by this our generation, not the older generation  of idiots like Sossion, Atwoli and their ilk.

[wpdevart_like_box profile_id="401855936569011" connections="show" width="900" height="100" header="small" cover_photo="show" locale="en_US"]

Unlike older doctors who fled Kenya and went to live/work in Botswana, this brave generation has decided that enough is enough, and Kenyans have to stop this bullshit of fundraising to pay for medical expenses in India, yet Uhuru's sister is part of the 5 Billion heist at the Ministry of Health.

What a catastrophe that as thieves like Anne Waiguru walk scot free, and Uhuru Kenyatta’s sister and cousin dine in five-star hotels celebrating their Ministry of Health heist, some misguided judge saw it fit to jail those who haven't committed any crime.

Karma is a Bitch and this same judge will find herself at the mercy of the same doctors she’s persecuting, with a terminal illness. These days, karma has gone “digital” and is manifesting sooner rather than later. Gone are the days when such flagrant abuses and infringements on rights were resolved in heaven by God on judgement day.

We cannot bring ourselves to even name this Jubilee judge, because that would be giving her under mileage in such a distinguished platform. All we know is that the judiciary is rotten and all these judges need divine intervention.

I mean, isn't it borderline dumb for the state to use its machinery, to subdue people who sacrifice their lives to study medicine, and make our lives better? How does Boinnet dispatch D(minus) GSU officers to threaten and intimidate our A students and doctors?

The reason these fucked-up GSU officers are where they are in life is because they failed in school and now have to settle in a mediocre career, working as bodyguards for corrupt Government officials or dispersing peaceful rallies, many calling for equality and an end to corruption.

These moronic police officers don't even have insurance cover from Government, live in deplorable houses and cannot connect the fact that ever struggle we make, will ultimately benefit them, so that they can stop sharing single-rooms with different families. They are generally a dumb lot, no wonder the only criteria in recruiting police officers is a full set of teeth only.

And so Doctors countrywide have vowed to NEVER attend to police officers and their families again. If they're shot by gangsters, bandits, cattle rustlers or even have terminal illnesses, as long as you're a Kenya Police officer, don't go to any hospital and expect to be served. We know many of you are too broke to pay for private hospitals, so yes, the doctors won't serve you in Government hospitals. D(minus) GSU officers going to intimidate our A Doctors. These idiots couldn't pass exams and are now harassing those who dedicated their lives to study for the welfare and advancement of society.
