Now ODM, PNU Crisis Talks Postponed To Friday


Senior police officer and wananchi mingle around the car belonging to the late MP David Kimutai Too in Eldoret at the scene-of-crime where he shot and his partner serious wounded. Following the news of the murder, there have been reports of tension in Western Kenya towns of Kericho and Kisumu, while in Eldoret demonstrations have been held outside the Eldoret Police HQS.
============================
The ODM /P NU crisis talks that were launched yesterday by both President Kibaki and Raila Odinga have been postponed to Friday.

The convener of the talks Kofi Annan did not give any reasons for the postponement which came against the backdrop of the murder of Ainamoi Member of Parliament David Kimutai Too in Eldoret earlier today. At the same time, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, in an apparent change of mind, plans to visit Kenya tomorrow (Friday) to add his weight to the efforts of Mr. Annan toward ending the crisis.

Kibaki is presently in Addis Ababa attending the AU summit while Raila Odinga spoke at an ODM press conference in Nairobi (Pentagon House) where he termed the murder of the ODM MP "The second killing of an MP belonging to Orange Democratic Movement is part of a plot to reduce our majority in parliament".

Meanwhile, the Police Commissioner has announced that the assailant, a unnamed police constable, has been arrested in Turbo along the Malaba - Eldoret Road and is currently in police custody in Nakuru. The alleged murderer will appear in court tomorrow, the police commissioner promised.

  1. The guy is arrested in Turbo and within hours, he is in Nakuru? Doesn’t Eldoret have courts? Don’t we always try those who committed the sins in the same city?

  2. Why is the international community treating Kenya with kid gloves?

    What happened to the United States that sent us Smith Hempstone?

    I am afraid things are about to get worse, especially if Democrats ascend to power.

  3. The U.S, and Europe have chosen to stand by the sidelines as they are doing in Lebanon.

    Meanwhile, Kibaki is in a hurry to surpass Kenyatta's political assasination record.

  4. I hope they are reading Kibaki the riot act at the A.U. Summit, the Chairman has been making some positive noises...democratic wishes must be respected and that genuine democratic reforms must emerge from the chaos.

  7. Only a new constitution (2002 draft) will set Kenya on the way to recovery.

    The current chaos is still not beyond control. It would end very quickly if people were presented with something to make them believe in the future of this country.

  8. If you believe that this murder was as a result of a love triangle then you can believe anything. The MP was targeted by the PNU operatives as one of the organizers of the Eldoret violence and a plan deliberately put in place to eliminate him. All the spin about girlfriend/wife are all nonesense. This is war declared by PNU against the rest of Kenyans.

  9. Moi would never have left for that conference in the midst of such a crisis.

    Can somebody bring Kibaki and his cronies back to planet earth? This is getting ridiculous.

    Kibaki is not serious about negotiations and his visit to Ethiopia proves it.

  12. What a PROTRACTED LABOUR PAIN? Surely problems come in doubles. Whatever the motive of the kiling, Kenya remains at the bottom of the deep hole. A PC with the audacity to shoot an MP is a reflection of the ANTIONAL IMPUNITY. Please don't preach to me about police explanations. FYI I have been there to witness previous reasons on TJ, JM, RO, OM and now recently Were and Too. Our police force just like one loud mouthed Mutua have a template for every scenario-deny, deny, deny. While Mutua is paid to rant, policemen don't have that luxury.But look. We are in for a rude shock, aren't we? Poor Kenya and Kenyans.

  14. Chris,

  15. The most important question right now is; What is Kibaki's motivation to stay in power? Is it to protect his family or his close associates? Is it to maintain or increase his assets? Is it to protect non-GEMA tribes? Is it to protect GEMA tribes? Does he still have dreams or transforming Kenya into an economic powerhouse? Is Kibaki's prime motive to ensure delivery of human and civil rights and services to all Kenyans from all corners? Is Kibaki looking forward to devolve power and ensure equal distribution of resources to all regions? Is Kibaki anxious to ensure that peace prevails? Last question; Is Kibaki equal to the task?

    In my opinion, Kibaki's only motivation to linger on to power is to ensure he doesn't go down in history as the first Kenyan one-term president (no matter how democratic). I think to him, such a record would be embarrassing even in death. To him, this is a failure that he cannot fathom. It is in fact doom in his mind. Having seen what has transpired in Kenya, Kikuyus who still believe that Kibaki is most concerned about their wellbeing or preserving their interests are just idiots.

    I say this because, every sane Kenyan knows that true long term healing will only come through a transitional government that revises the constitution, replaces the ECK, consoles and resettles the aggrieved; thereafter leading to fresh elections of legitimacy and confidence in the eyes of all/most Kenyans. Without absolute legitimacy, PNU alone will not achieve this fete.
    By militarily enforcing peace and order, Kibaki will in fact survive five more years. Five years that will see Mungiki and other amorphous militias arm themselves in preparation for a final Armageddon. Five years that will see Kenyans retreat to their tribal cocoons in droves. Five years of festering tribal wounds. By forcing himself on the people via the 'peace of the gun', Kibaki will have postponed full-scale genocide by many years…when it finally happens, he will be dead of old age anyway so why should he care.
    What Kenya needs is a truly legitimate leader. There's no question Kibaki is not. If he is worth his salt, he should be bold enough to reface the electorate and prove his dominance. Hii mambo ya ku-lounge huko state house when opposition MPs and hundreds of Kenyans are being shot left and right hatutaki.

  16. This is love gone sour definately. Don't worry ODM'ers, you will still retain the seat after the by-elections. This is an ODM zone for heaven's sake!

    Minutes after this 'crime of passion', Raila was screaming it's another assasination by the govt. And that's supposed to incite the slum dwellers once again!

    Why politicize this cruel murder Hon Raila for cheap political gains? Violence only breeds violence and we should know that by now.

    Let the law take it's course. Well done to our brave officers for moving swiftly and arresting the suspect.

  18. Keep yapping Bwana Kalamari, another elections when hundreds of thousands of PNU supporters have been displaced from their homes? What a genius! The last thing Kenyans want now is another elections without peace.

    Had Kibaki given up already, what Kikuyus have suffered would just be a small fraction. As a Kikuyu I can assure you that most of us are ready to be lead by anyone except the Pentagon! And the ECK having declared Kibaki the winner, only the courts can reverse that decision.

    Thanks the AU and Britain recognizes that fact. For your info, the EU observers made it clear that both PNU and ODM had stuffed the boxes in their respective strongholds. It just happens that the better thief carried the day!

  19. PHIL AND CHRIS HELP!!!!

    I have been sending New York Times' JEFFEREY GETTLEMAN email (click at his name above each article) to protest his shallow reporting on Kenya.

    The man has already decided:

    a)Kibaki won the election (see Were story of 30/1/08).

    b) Kimutai's murder had nothing to do with the election.

    c) Mugabe Were was killed by ODM (above ref.)

    d) Kalenjins caused Kimutai's death because they have been killing Kikuyus (31/1/08)

    e) The current problems are all about ethnic hatred and jealousy for the Kikuyu. No analyses covering land, constitution or democracy.

    Please help me stop this man. He is acting like the government's U.S. propaganda man.

    I am fed up with his hotel room reporting.

  20. Anon@8:04...

    Just so that you can come back to your senses like Kibaki, as soon as you face about the same tribulation other Kenyans are facing, you will never think right. If both ODM and PNU rigged, doesn’t your immune brain tell you that a righteous election is needed? Do you really think Kibaki will ever lead the whole of Kenya? Over 4 million voters disown him. Make it 15 million with their families. Do you think those in camps are going to be protected for 5 years by Kibaki’s soldiers? Will they dare go back to their homes and live peacefully? If you are not seeing what we are seeing, something is rotten in your brain or you are blind.

  23. Love triangle you said? Upuuzi mtupu I say.

    That was the MPs cousin sister ridding with him in the car.

    This is pure execution. The arrested assailant may just be your mungiki adherent who has been recruited into police for the sole purpose of dealing with ODM. These are the guys who have been wrecking havoc in Kibera, Kwangware, Kariobangi, Riruta and Kangemi.

    I tend to agree with the anon who said "Unconfirmed reports say that the MPs being executed are those that received bribes to vote against marende of over 10 Million shillings each. They took the money and ran. It is said they were 5 from western and rift valley. so 3 to go.....lets wait and see"

    Until the police come with a more plausible story. Shame on Kenya.

  24. Anon @ 8.04. It is such idiotic tripe circumventing your oblongata that will see continued death of innocent Kenyans. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Replacing the ECK in its entirety must also accommodate a brand new voter registry. You must remember that a lot of dead people voted in 2007. Why are thinking backwards?

    What I'm calling for is a total overhaul of our electorate process..i.e. including an impartial commission, new voters cards, registry etc. A PNU government has no credibility or ability to achieve this. Only a transitional government can have the fortitude for such drastic measures as both sides have vested interests. Further, my hope is that such happens after resettlement of the displaced after thoroughly dealing with land issues.
    Please stop thinking like a Luo/Kikuyu/Luhya etc. Think Kenyan and think long term peace. Even the non-GEMA tribes can get guns. Think!!!

  26. The US, EU and other democracies are accepting flawed and unfair elections out of political expediency, Human Rights Watch says in its annual report.

    Allowing autocrats to pose as democrats without demanding they uphold civil and political rights risked undermining human rights worldwide, it warned.

    HRW said Pakistan, Thailand, Bahrain, Jordan, Nigeria, Kenya and Russia had been falsely claiming to be democratic.

    The World Report 2008 summarises human rights issues in more than 75 nations.

    'Playing along'

    In the report, HRW said established democracies such as the US and members of the European Union were increasingly tolerating autocrats "claiming the mantle of democracy".

    "In 2007 too many governments, including Bahrain, Jordan, Nigeria, Russia and Thailand, acted as if simply holding a vote is enough to prove a nation 'democratic', and Washington, Brussels and European capitals played along," it said.

    "The Bush administration has spoken of its commitment to democracy abroad but often kept silent about the need for all governments to respect human rights."

    HRW Executive Director Kenneth Roth said it had become too easy for autocrats to get away with mounting a sham democracy "because too many Western governments insist on elections and leave it at that".

    "They don't press governments on the key human rights issues that make democracy function - a free press, peaceful assembly, and a functioning civil society that can really challenge power," he added.

    HRW said the West was often unwilling to criticise the autocrats for fear of losing access to resources or commercial opportunities, or because of the perceived requirements of fighting terrorism.

    "It seems Washington and European governments will accept even the most dubious election so long as the 'victor' is a strategic or commercial ally," Mr Roth said.

    Aid donors

    HRW highlighted Pakistan as an example.

    It said the US and UK, its largest aid donors, had refused to distance themselves from President Pervez Musharraf, despite his "tilting the electoral playing field" by rewriting the constitution and firing the independent judiciary ahead of February's election.

    It also argued that Washington's acceptance of the result of the Nigerian election in February 2007, "despite widespread and credible accusations of poll-rigging and electoral violence", had encouraged the Kenyan government to believe that fraud would be tolerated in December's presidential poll.

    And it said the US and some allies like Britain and France had made it harder to demand other countries uphold human rights by committing abuses themselves in the "war on terror".

    The German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and other European leaders were criticised for their reluctance to allow Turkey to join the EU, despite its improved human rights record.

    HRW said the EU "lost leverage itself and diminished the clout of those in Turkey who have cited the prospect of EU membership as a reason for reform".

    Atrocities

    Among the countries where the watchdog said human rights atrocities had been committed were Chad, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Iraq, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Sudan.

    Burma, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam were criticised for severe repression and closed societies.

    When asked about the claims made by HRW, US state department spokesman Sean McCormack said he had not seen the report, but insisted his country did not promote false democracy and condone human rights abuses.

    "In terms of the United States and this administration speaking up in defence of, and advocating for, and putting its effort behind its rhetoric, I don't think there's any question about where we stand in terms of promotion of democracy," he told reporters.

In short, would you rather have bloodshed due to your assumptions and forego an investigation into the killing of the MP, WHICH MIGHT SAVE A FEW THOUSAND LIVES

  45. Anon @ 10.08 I agree we ought to have investigations. We can learn from our assasination experts; the Kenyatta-Moi gang.

  46. Raila is quick to point fingers at the government before getting the facts straight. He was the first to say that Mr. Were was killed by the government even before the police issued a report. He's doing the same thing now with Mr. Too's demise. As a political leader you should always remain calm during troubled times so as to assure your supporters and countrymen. You should be the voice of reason and the pillar of strength for the people that you represent. Raila has not shown any qualities at all of being that sort of a leader, instead he makes outrageous statements that sometimes make me wonder if this guy is for real. 'Obama is my cousin' etc. Do you really want someone like this overseeing a young democracy like Kenya?

  53. I must say I was a staunch supporter of PNU but in the past month, my opinion has drastically changed, neither kibaki nor Odinga have Kenya's best interest at heart. I am aghast at how kibaki is taking the current situation in Kenya so lightly hoping it will brush off, you do not under any circumstance as a leader jeopardize your peoples lives. This is not a trivial matter in any way whatsoever. Sipping tea with Annan is not solving anything. As for his rival, he needs to stop blubbering too much without thinking….don't be too quick to give press conference after press conference yapping the same thing for a whole month,come up with new ideas and or solutions to our current grievous state of affairs.

Captain Raila is very adamant the he will steer us clear of rough waters but his echoes for motivation are leading to mutiny and death within the realms of the boat. Captain Kibaki is trying steer the boat to clear waters but it seems we have no engines as they have been destroyed by the rough waters. death is everywhere, we are loosing crewmen and although we might see a horizon its just an illusion. Someone needs to control captain Raila from making comments that will divide us just like that, and may be, just may be, we will overcome our this terrible ordeal that has befallen us. Like the titanic, we will sink to the bottom and only the most fortunate like Raila and Kibaki will escape the final dive.

  64. it depends on what kind of intervention. Intervention does not necessarily work in most cases due to the conditions attached to it. Its not so much to do with the period of the intervention its more to do with the agreement that brings it about and the outcomes.

  67. Intervention in the sense that they put direct pressure on the leaders to make them act quick. Currently kibaki is under no pressure and neither is Raila, they are being spoon fed at the cost of innocent lives. Annan can only make them shake hands in public for so long. That is not helping the ordinary homeless, bitter Kenyan in mourning. These leaders have not had any adverse effects soo far ,the crisis needs to affect them directly so that they can see the urgency of the problem at hand. First things first, they need to surrender their passports and those of their immediate family members ..the EU or United States need to block them from gaining entry to their respective countries .Trust me their mind frame will change .They will wake up!

  68. Those who pretend to be "moral" and are making "between the lines" statements about Raila as they feebly try to "drag" Kibaki in as well, so that they hide their nefarious prejudice must realise that people can read between the lines. Those pussyfooters who are saying Raila shouln't talk should admonish counterfeit Dubai machines like Alfred Mutua and Mungiki spokesman Eric Kiraithe rather an elected person whom 6 provinces are looking upto him. He should comment on every issue and give his side of the story. When Dubai counterfeit machines like Mutua vomit on the people's shoes, whom does he represent? Not Kibaki? Bogus! What happened today was a cold blood assasination and nothing more. Where on earth did you see the Kenyan police "revealing" the truth when you are saying we should wait for "investigation"? Which assasination was solved? Bogus. This killing also comes in the wake of the removal of Kimaiyo the Kalenjin from the Operations Office, throwing him away at the "heritage" ministry (hehehe) and replacing him with a Kikiyu. There are is more to the ear than meets the eye.

  76. These anonymuses critizing Kimeli are pretty much our obstacles at seeing through this foggy times. Them suckers moved top officers like Kimayo to facilitate the assassination adventure. This guy was assassinated and if not, did Mugabe Were kill himself? These anonymuses are just throwing words from their computers in their save havens the same way Kibaki and his idiots are doing through Mutua.

  77. But do you think freezing aid will directly affect kibaki? Nope, he will comfortably seat in state house and drive his big limos till his time is up . Blocking entry is more powerful, lets see who will be smiling if lucy,jimmy,Ida ,Fidel, etc cannot leave Kenya for one reason or another and are held hostage in their own country

  78. i am now very sure that Kibaki and his clique are out to cause chaos. I voted for this man because I thought he was the better devil but what has happened over the past 1 month is more or less shocking. Two murders within one week, all shot, both from ODM, with plain motive of MURDER in both cases; nothing was stolen, no confrontation-THESE ARE POLITICAL ASSASINATIONS..and I am tired of defending PNU, am tired of defending Kibaki..

    We have not seen such irresponsible leadership-even Amin may have been a brute but at least he pretendedto be a man of the people. Kibaki has walked away from these talks once again to some stupid AU forum-I have lost two relatives one in Uasin Gishu and one in Ndeiya; I'm just tired of this government, its not a government, its a shame, a conspiracy to say the least-Its placing the future of everyone from central province at risk-Like it or not.

    I think the people who ought to stand up and say no to this mobsters are MT.KENYA MPs, Beth Mugo I voted for you-Do something; you are protecting a Hyena who keeps attacking cubs and shamelessly cheers to every kill. I lost hope in Kibaki when I saw him nodding and smiling when meeting business people at state house-I was shocked. people are dying and the man has not even stepped out to address the nation or at least re-affirm that there is a government.

    I am just getting angrier...cant type.

  79. YOU odm'ers have been limited to either some mental incapacity or have been caught up in what is termed us Raila mania. Kibaki is to blame as much as Raila is. I cannot help you along this lines as most ODM'ers are hell bent to burn kenya to ashes until their desires are satisfied. Satisfied to the extent where they derive no satisfaction from what they have achieved due to the destruction that took place beforehand. for example kisumu township. Rooting up railway lines, chasing out young kids as young as class 1 out of class to express their opnions. ODM'ers I could go on but it seems that I have just retreated to the fact that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks.

  81. anon 11:59,

    I find your excuse rather childish. Stating hard facts don't make things bad my dear. First of all, Kibaki pussyfooters tell us to wait for the results of the "investigation". Hehehe. I ask you, since 1963, which assassination case was resolved? Secondly, why is it that PANUA tribal hordes are demanding that Raila should "keep quiet." By what law, by what justice? He said what happened today was assassination and it was indeed. They are preaching childish stories like "love triangle" (look how well constructed it was) and even say the dead MP pleaded with the Mungiki employed thug not to kill the girl. Which video recorded that? Furthermore, how do you spray bullets at a man whom you didn't ask his identity? Look how naive Police are? They said as he (Mutai) "pleaded" to spare the girl, he was shot dead. Do you think the killer couldn't even ask who Mutai was? Whether he was a cousin ( he is), a brother, a father etc? And where on earth do you someone spraying bullets at his/her fiancé for "walking" with someone else?


    Friend, when the US wanted to kill the Pakistani President General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in 1988, it had to kill its US ambassador in Islamabad by making him ride in the Presidential plane so that the Gen. wouldn't suspect anything. As it took off from a garrison, it was shot all died. Ironically, the US was the first to denounce the “criminal and heinous act.” Do you remember Kibaki’s words when Were was killed? “I condemn the heinous crime” (old stories boy). What happened today was simply what was done in many years ago both within and outside Kenya. We want justice, don't say we are already divided, because from the days of the legendary thief: Kenyatta, we have never been one. This was a poor teacher who didn't suspect anything. He wasn't a hardened politician who watches over his shoulders. Whichever way whatever, Kibaki will see the truth.

  105. The late indonesian president was very effective to administering law and order indonesia. He was a key contributor the key economic development in indonesia. But the basis of his leadership was based on military rule and his military background. He was perceived as a dictactor by most media and revered as a statesman by most of his followers.
    Although he was able to restore peace the foundations of justice were not implemented and that is why he had adversaries especially the west. Unlike Kenya, the political landscape in indonesia is religously driven rather than tribal driven. Given that 90% of the population is muslim his work was significantly cut out. this means he could effectively cut out any opposition and get away with it.
    Anyway, indonesia has come a long way and it has sort to get awat from its military attachment. they realise that justice is fundamental if there was to be a lasting peace. The late president had done some work for them by protecting the population from anarchy and death but what he forgot to do was to give people their justice.
    The mediation process in kenya is meant to establish the foundation for justice as well as deliver peace throughout kenya my fellow ODM'ers.

  116. Kenya will keep loosing its stand in the world.

    From The East African Standard

    Kenya has been excluded from a new Peace and Security Council (PSC) of the African Union.

    Kenya has traditionally championed peace and security matters in the continent, but was not elected to the prestigious council.

    The country was earlier expected to lead the council in its formative stages because of its record in peace missions in Sierra Leone, Yugoslavia and East Timor.

    The Standard could not independently confirm if Kenya had been proposed for a slot on the council.

    But sources said Foreign Affairs minister, Mr Moses Wetangula, put a strong case on Kenya. A source at the summit was quoted saying that on Monday, Wetangula tried to block plans to have the crisis discussed.

    But countries such as South Africa demanded that the Kenyan conflict be treated like others in the continent.

    Rwanda and Uganda were picked to represent eastern Africa, dealing a major diplomatic blow to the Kenyan delegation in Addis Ababa.

    The two countries, now enjoying calm after decades of internal turmoil, have slowly taken over the enviable position Kenya enjoyed before the disputed presidential election results that has torn the country apart.

    President Kibaki and Wetangula are leading the delegation to the 12th Ordinary Session of the AU, which elected members of the council.

    Other countries appointed to the prestigious PSC, modelled on the UN Security Committee, are Burundi and Chad (Central Africa), Tunisia (Northern Africa), Swaziland and Zambia (Southern Africa) and Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali (Western Africa).

    The AU also condemned the violation of human rights in Kenya as the post-election crisis. AU Commission Chairman, Mr Alpha Oumar Konare, warned that unless speedy measures were taken, Kenya could degenerate into genocide.

    "We cannot sit and observe another genocide, after what happened in Rwanda," he said.

    Konare called for greater international participation in resolving the post-election crisis that has left nearly 1,000 people dead and half million homeless.

    The economy has also been battered to the tune of Sh190 billion.

    Konare called on AU Foreign ministers to ensure the implementation and respect of good governance, democracy, non-indifference and gender equality.

    The killer of the Late MP is Known, He is now under police “custody “ – incommunicado, since the love story angle is now unravelling, I don’t see how he will be left to survive to tell the REAL story, he will be “briefly”- appear in court ( for pictures and the 4th estate to muddy the waters) then he will be sprinted to remand whereby he will promptly and here mysteriously commit suicide be poisoned or engage in a fatal brawl with other “ criminals “ - END OF STORY. Right now he is in police custody where nobody has access to him. Has he been appointed a lawyer? and advised that he has the right to remain silent? It will be interesting to see who will be representing him in court and the judge presiding in the case today. Only that will tell you a lot.

    I would advice his lawyer to raise the issue of safety as he is a lame duck – A PATSY, then again the lawyer could be there for the sole purpose of defeating this, we will see today in court.

    If there is any investigative journalist out there, THIS IS IT , from the police reshuffle, Kibaki gone AWOL, Moi maybe told conveniently by his intelligence to “ lie low” big things are on the works ? the commissioner reading from a script and calling it love gone sour , the appointment of the lawyer , the judge , the alleged murderers training and career and postings within the force ,the motor bike for the flopped gateway – was it properly issued according to regulations, when and at what time and by who ? HIS contacts, the relatives and friends of the deceased. This one is BIG, its open like a book and they don’t get any bigger than this.

    The Godfather perfected the art of using OUTSIDERS when the HEAT was too much and it was absolutely necessary to do what was required when control was slipping. Unfortunately in this case a lot of people take this personal , this is NOT a gangland settlement and will not pass.

  128. Anon @ 2:02, I'm also wondering the same thing. Why is it that the Nation and Standard have two different statements from supposed family members that are completely contradictory? Some unnamed family members (in Nation) claim that the woman was having some sort of "friendship" with the MP while the Standard's story has a Mr. David Kirui, the woman's elder brother, and Langat, the family spokesman, claiming that the two were neighbors, good friends, and cousins.

    It is also interesting to note that the Standard has a story in which the MPs say that some of their colleagues have received the same SMSs on their phones and the Marakwet West MP, Mr Boaz Keino, showed the press the message which said something about keeping off someone's wife.

    Something definitely doesn't add up and it's pretty clear there's foul play involved. What's sadder is that the press is unreliable in their stories. Either that or they're also being used to peddle lies.

  129. There are lots of guys out here who are just finding it harder and harder to defend PNU and Kibaki. They're sounding so ridiculous whenever they open their mouths. This Kibaki guy and his government of half cabinet is difficult to justify. PANUAS are looking for the slightest string of defense and hanging onto it. Like today in the office they are all hanging onto the love triangle thing so desperately. And yet that story has already started developing holes. I'm telling them, this guy has ignored you completely. He does nothing to keep his supporters going. He locked himself into statehouse and completely ignored his supporters. And now he's away on more important matters than you PANUAS? To attend meetings of the impotent AU?

    I'm Kikuyu but I'm always advising my fellow Kikuyus to bond with other Kenyans as opposed to clinging to an illegitimate government knowing very well it can only last so long. It is important for us to know that statehouse will not host another Kikuyu president for a very very long time. Come the next general elections and the next and the next, any Kikuyu candidate will just be putting himself/karuaself up for ridicule. And if we want any good for ourselves we better start bonding with fellow Kenyans now for the sake of our future and our kids.

It will be interesting to see who will be representing him in court and the judge presiding in the case today. Only that will tell you a lot.

    I would advice his lawyer to raise the issue of safety as he is a lame duck – A PATSY, then again the lawyer could be there for the sole purpose of defeating this, we will see today in court.

    If there is any investigative journalist out there, THIS IS IT , from the police reshuffle, Kibaki gone AWOL, Moi maybe told conveniently by his intelligence to “ lie low” big things are on the works ? the commissioner reading from a script and calling it love gone sour , the appointment of the lawyer , the judge , the alleged murderers training and career and postings within the force ,the motor bike for the flopped gateway – was it properly issued according to regulations, when and at what time and by who ? HIS contacts, the relatives and friends of the deceased. This one is BIG, its open like a book and they don’t get any bigger than this.

    The Godfather perfected the art of using OUTSIDERS when the HEAT was too much and it was absolutely necessary to do what was required when control was slipping. Unfortunately in this case a lot of people take this personal , this is NOT a gangland settlement and will not pass.

    LET THE CASE BEGIN, I hope there will be a transcript of the court proceedings if nobody has anything to hide.

  133. The EU, USA, Britain, AU, China, why dont you morons wonder why every one is opposed to you?

    Why dont you stop to wonder why ODM wont produce even a shred of evidence on the so called rigging even while Orengo is busy earning money filing petitons in court (same courts he says are corrupt) for Mps? Check it out you zombies.

    Why dont your stupid brains wonder why kibaki would kill mps in ODM zones where the next MP is guaranteed to be ODM as well?

    Why dont you morons wonder why every interested group including the Human Rights Watch group are classifying the RV killings as organized ethnic cleansing?

    Why dont you fools wonder why Ruto et all did not do what sally kosgei, uhuru and others did in their constituencies to actively stop the killings?

    Why dont you zombies ever stop to consider that you might actually have been taken for a ride? dont believe it, just consider it. Dont be so bloody one minded like tse tse flies

Hope you will get it this time.


    Anon@ 1:22,

    You must be the dimwit who also claimed the girl killed was a Kisii. Huh! That's the elements who are defending Kibaki here. God the Almighty. Your ilk proves the uncurable disease of Humanity's ugliest man: Kibaki the Hippo. Sheesh!

    Kenya's Turmoil Is Gang Opportunity
    By KATHARINE HOURELD – 12 hours ago

    NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — As Kenya splits along ethnic lines and the body count spirals, desperate residents say they are turning to once-hated gangs for protection.

    And some say politicians are using gang members as militias.

    One gang recruiter in Nairobi said she receives about 30 calls daily from people seeking membership, and politicians — including a government minister — are offering money for weapons to fuel the furor over the presidential election.

    At a camp for displaced families in Nairobi's Mathare slum, she led the crowd in a Kikuyu song before asking those whose homes were burned or looted whether they would consider joining the Mungiki gang. Much of the postelection violence has pitted President Mwai Kibaki's Kikuyu against other ethnic groups.

    "If we are many, we can go and chase those people," she explained, the ragged crowd staring at her designer sunglasses and gold high heels delicately poised above the mud. "This is the time to join us."

    Hands shot up around the circle.

    Elsewhere in the slums, recruitment is under way by gangs associated with other tribes. The Taliban, for example, is made up of members of opposition leader Raila Odinga's Luo people. The origins of its name are unclear, but appear more inspired by the Afghan group's fearsome reputation than its extremist Islamic ideology.

    The Mungiki began as a quasi-religious group dedicated to promoting Kikuyu culture in the 1980s and flourished during Kikuyu leader Uhuru Kenyatta's failed presidential bid in 2002. The Taliban and other ethnic militias, like the Sungu-Sungu and the Chinkororo, emerged in response, members say.

    The state-funded Kenya National Commission on Human Rights says strong "circumstantial evidence" links the police to more than 450 execution-style murders of young men last year during a crackdown on the Mungiki. The police deny it.

    The crackdown ended two months before the Dec. 27 election. The violence that followed has claimed over 850 lives.

    "Why are we seeing Mungiki still harassing people here?" Odinga said Wednesday in Nairobi's Kibera slum. "Mungiki is the unofficial arm of the government. They are the ones who are being brought here because the government wants it to appear as if it was a civilian thing. So the police provide the cover."

    But police chief Ali Hussein says he is not aware of any gang mobilization within Nairobi.

    Slum residents accuse police of firing at random, killing innocent civilians, or simply refusing to come into the slums when the gangs prowl the alleyways at night.

    "The head officer said, 'Let them fight each other. We will come in the morning to pick up the bodies'," said a member of the Taliban gang. He said he called police to report the murder of a Luo friend in the Mathare slum by a group of Kikuyus. "When they didn't come, we had to go out to protect ourselves," he said.

    The gang took to the streets armed with machetes, he said.

    He, the Mungiki recruiter and the other gang members interviewed by The Associated Press spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of police or gang reprisals.

    Several members of different gangs said rich businessmen were offering gangs about $15 a day to protect their property. Politicians on both sides — mostly at the local or regional level — also offered cash to buy guns, the gang members said.

    The Taliban member said he knew of 10 fellow gang members who had bought guns recently.

    "They (the politicians) are coming to search for us so we can fight," said a male Mungiki member. Fake Mungiki gangs were being set up, he complained, to get the politicians' money.

    That echoed allegations from human rights and other groups that politicians were organizing the postelection violence, citing the long history of orchestrated political violence in Kenya.

    Michael Peel, author of a report on gang-plagued Nigeria for British think tank Chatham House, said any alliance between gangs and politicians could spiral out of control.

    In Nigeria's oil-rich Delta region, gangs have evolved in a few years from stoned young men with flip flops and old rifles to masked militants with body armor and new rocket-propelled grenades. The money they got from politicians has bought them weapons and influence, human rights groups that follow Nigeria say.

    In Kenya, many previously law-abiding citizens say they have turned to the gangs because of the breakdown of law and order.

    Muthoni Mwaura, a Kikuyu woman in her 50s with arthritis so bad she can barely get out of bed, says the violence means Luo tenants in her six slum shacks refuse to pay rent. She cannot buy medicine or food for three orphans she cares for, she said.

    "They are not paying and I am hungry," she said. "Police demand money to protect you, but Mungiki just want you to join."

    Gang membership comes with a price. As part of the initiation, the Mungiki demand that female members undergo ritual genital cutting.

    A Mungiki woman in charge of the ritual in part of Mathare slum said she was cutting around five girls a week since the violence started; the whole of last year she cut fewer than 50.

    Sometimes girls had second thoughts, so she locked them in her house to prevent them from escaping, she said.

    Once initiated, it is difficult for men and women to leave the gang alive. Mungiki recruiters say they will kill anyone who tries to leave for fear they will betray gang secrets. There are no reliable estimates on the number of gang members.

    Many Mungiki say they are not yet willing to fight for the government, because the gang is still nursing a grudge over last year's police crackdown.

    But they say they are loath to turn away new members and money for guns. Some say they have received word the gang will really begin its "work" in February. The Mungiki recruiter said the gang is stockpiling supplies, including food and weapons, for the coming battle.

  141. Cousin, no cousin is not the issue! The point is someone tried to plan this execution!
    If the lady was a girlfriend to the mp, they hadn't just met on their 1st date.
    - Also the stupid bugger who carried out the execution is a married man with kids??
    How many time have you heard of a man murdering someone bcoz of a concubine?
    -In addition all the policemen who go psycho murder their lovers and shoot themselves- in kenya mostly that's what happens.
    -To add insult to injury the guy was found in Turbo after committing the murder in Eldi??
    -Then moved to Nakuru, so fast ??
    You can fool some pple some time but not all the pple all the time.

    Another thing knowing so many Kenyans MP's have been known to be members of K- street does it mean only ODM MP's are involved in these things in xtry where 3/4's of the men from the shoe-shiner to the xtry's CEO have a side kick.......

  145. Whatever the motive in Killing the late Were, Kibaki's so called Government has a responsibility of ensuring security for all Kenyans.

    Insecurity even prior to the elections can be squarly and fairly put on Kibaki's door, where the buck stops!

    This nonsense about love triangle is just rubish. Remember the late MP Tony Ndilinge? The same love triangle hog was was served to Kenyans to swallow and digest.

    Even if it was a love triangle affair, security is one of the reasons Kibaki gets a salary and it has been getting worse since he was elected in Dec 2002.

    Do you think Ruto is scared of Mungiki? Few of his boys will dismantle them. Ruto is legendary and you can drink cyanide if you hate him. Raila this, Raila that. Now it is Ruto this, Ruto that. Must you be brought with hate for you to steal from others? Shit. Ruto dismantled Moi, Biwott and Kirwa, few drunkard boys like Mungiki and ugly shits like Kibaki and his Hippos like Karua will be mounted by him as well.
