I thought we were past the "kihii" days that almost landed Kenya into an abyss. What short memories we have!

I hear people are leaving US in droves back to their motherland due to the economic crunch here. Sam, r u and your "rambunctious sons" return to motherland due to this? Enjoy Jamhur anywayi, just know you were one of us once and never despise us - the "voteless" diasporans for the kettle never called the pot black.

Anon 3:29 - how can you say that without any justification? The leadership that assassinated Kenya's brightest are not malignant; only Raila is. That kind of distorted thinking does not indicate a sound mind. You need to either justify what you are saying or agree that there are others who might justifiably and forcefully disagree. It's this kind of blind hate that led to the PEV.

If Kibaki cannot show good will by rapidly pursuing healing and reform, I fear people such as yourself (on both sides) will win the day - God forbid.

For kenya to survive, Raila MUST GO! Raila is the problem.period! kibakis will come and go, put the problem will still stare on us. Every system has its cancer, for ours, raila malignancy has to be removed to heal.

More discussions like 1:18 and 6:10. Hate is not going to get us anywhere. That includes insults as well as posts by
Phil's Mistress' who although sounds educated is blinded by his hate for Raila.

However, I do agree with this Mistress guy that Sam Okello does not offer any solutions. In fact he may be hurting ODMs agenda.

Please agree to disagree like Vikkii.

I am going to repost 6:10

It beats me what all this name-calling is expected to achieve, apart from some false sense of relief.

The upshot though is that there is widespread dissatisfaction with current leadership of the grand colluders and the major problem is the uncertainty surrounding a robust alternative.

Now, instead of this lousy name-calling, it might make more sense to invest energies in thinking through what a robust alternative to the current might be and what minimal governance reforms might get us there and ultimately how to start rolling out those minimal, necessary reforms.

This is really SAD:

Quacks move in to cash in on male cut
http://www.nation.co.ke/magazines/artandculture/-/1222/558560/-/863jluz/-/index.html

Over 200 unlicensed clinics are offering male circumcision services in Nakuru, Eldoret and Migori in Nyanza Province mainly because the government cannot employ an estimated extra 100 health workers to ease the heavy work load.

Now entering its sixth month, the male circumcision drive has seen more than 20,000 males turn up for the exercise posing a serious strain on the available resources........

HAPPY EASTER, ALL.

SAM,
PLO Lumumba yesterday said "many in the goverment are carry-overs from previous regime masquerading as reformers..." Don't you agree he was talking about Raila who like people to believe he is a reformer when indeed he is a BIG cry baby?

I am astound to imagine someone like Sam Okello can only see no-one else apart from this useless good-for-nothing Raira Odinga. This is pathetic SAM! Let me relieve you from your miseries and MARK MY WORDS, Raila Odinga WILL NEVER set his foot in state house maybe for other reasons BUT NOT as the president of Republic of Kenya!

We've enough talents that can lead this country in the right direction but Raila stupid WILL NOT!

Kikuyu's = Thieves, Carjackers, Conmen, Conwomen, Swindlers, Fraudsters, Prostitutes and neck choppers of their own tribesmen.

You add no economic value to Kenya. You take us backward all the time with your STEALING WAYS.

When the south east asian tigers were behind us economy wise in the 1960's, Kenyatta was in power. When they started overtaking, around 1975 - 1977, Kenyatta was still in power.

Nyinyi ni matope. You live in a deception filled fantasy world where you deceive yourselves that you are enterprising, industrious and hardworking. Pooh! You guys STINK. This is what you really are:

Thieves, Carjackers, Conmen, Conwomen, Swindlers, Fraudsters, Prostitutes and neck choppers of your own tribsemen. Led by your primitive and jua kali fraudulent thief of a president who is regularly SLAPPED by Lucy

By the way, Between Lucy and Kibaki, it is Lucy who wears the testicles and the trousers. Kibaki wears the fraudulent breasts and buttocks.

Phil's Mistress @ 11:10 AM,

Let me open your eyes so that you can see yourself and your kind for what you really are:

Kikuyu's = Thieves, Carjackers, Conmen, Conwomen, Swindlers, Fraudsters and Prostitutes. You "EXCEL" in these "professions." You are "CHAMPIONS" in these "professions."

This is the unfortunate TRUTH about Kikuyu's.

I was talking with a Kikuyu young man on Wednesday this week and he was expressing great outrage about John Githongo and Martha Karua. When I asked him Why, he danced vigorously around the question for quite some time but unfortunately for him, his tongue sliped and he blurted this out: WE KIKUYUS ARE THIEVES AND WE REGARD ANYONE WHO POINTS THAT OUT TO OTHERS IN PUBLIC TO BE A TRAITOR.......

When I say that Kikuyu's = Theives, Carjackers, Conmen, Conwomen, Swindlers, Fraudsters and Prostitutes. You "EXCEL" in these "professions." You are "CHAMPIONS" in these "professions." I am simply calling a spade a spade and not a big spoon.

@12:49 am.
True no need to waste time with such as you mentiom, including the like of hobo bumpkin and others. I'm tired of the domo domo.

However, Githongo doesnt belong with the masses--he didnt take the bullet for kenya but instead ran sobbing and crying to his foreign masters. Worse, over the past few years, there's little he has done (save for writing an entertaining thriller) to persuade the outside world to take him seriously. With his supposed credentials, he shouldnt be wallowing at oxford as a fellow of sorts a beneficiary of pity and favoritism, sheltered under some obscure professor's wing. He should be out in the global scene, with some high-flying international organization.

So, Githongo, I think is a waste of time, a self-serving opportunist, whose judgement I find severely wanting. There's a lot more I can say regarding strategy that I save for another day.

I'd rather give PLO a chance--a BIG chance. He is, it seems, our very own Obama. God help Kenyans to see that, and soon!

Anon 12:49, I just don't get it. It would be one thing if the PEV had not occurred. But having gone right to the edge, how is it possible that the President can be seen to be thwarting reform? How can that be knowing how quickly the situation can escalate. Is there absolutely no goodwill on the side of the kitchen cabinet. One of their own has given up on them. Annan MUST use this to propel the reform process forward - or we will all be very sorry in 12 months.

2009-04-10T00:49:30.232-07:00

Kenya is a tribalistic state similar to Somali.

This country will sink deeper than Somali if we dont recognise that equality among our people is vital.

If we keep on following bad leaders like Mugumo-tree-man, or son of JM-killer or Miracle-opportunists or sons of Nyayo-tyranny or Youth92-looters then Kenya will be lost for ever.

Let's invest in true Kenyans like Githongo. Dont give a damn what tribe he belongs to.

2009-04-09T22:12:42.466-07:00

AOff topic - the consensus (especially after Karua resigning) if that Kibaki is hindering movement by frustrating not only the PM but the reform process more generally. This is very troubling folks.

Excerpt from IRIN article - it also mentions militias. (We don't want that word to be used again - NEVER!)

http://www.irinnews.org/Report.aspx?ReportId=83848

Crossroads

“Kenya is at a crossroads,” Annan declared at a meeting convened in Geneva on 30 March to review progress since the signing of a National Accord in February 2008. “The time to act is now,” he added. Neither Kibaki nor Odinga travelled to Switzerland for the gathering.

"There is no disagreement on what needs to be done. The parties have already agreed on a blueprint for building a more equitable, prosperous and just society. That blueprint is found in the reform package agreed in the National Dialogue," he added.

This package includes constitutional, legal and institutional reform; tackling poverty and inequity and development imbalances; tackling unemployment, particularly among the youth; consolidating national cohesion and unity; undertaking land reform; and addressing transparency, accountability and impunity.

Annan warned that Kenya’s situation had implications far beyond its borders.

"The politicisation of ethnicity, non-adherence to the rule of law, corruption and the abuse of power, and inequitable development, exist in other parts of Africa and across the globe… I believe this is one reason why the world is paying such attention to the way Kenya grapples with these issues."

According to Okumu of ISS, these issues “have slipped off the radar screen”.

"Future democratisation, peace and justice will depend on how the Kenyan nation is forged on the values of mutual understanding, trust, and respect. There must be a national dialogue to openly discuss issues of historical grievances, ethnophobia, tribalism, and nationalism,” he said.

"A new election must be held within a year to put in power a government with a popular mandate and legitimacy to undertake the task of nation-building," Okumu suggested.

"At this critical juncture, when we are facing a global financial crisis, Kenya needs a government that is visionary, committed, disciplined, and dedicated to serving the people; not one that is driven by survival on the backs of the suffering population," he said.

2009-04-09T18:21:24.467-07:00

Mr. Okello, what exactly are you accusing President Mwai Kibaki of? Are you buying into Raila Odinga's moronity and delusion that lead him to imagine the President should provide him with toilets before flying out of the country? Come on people, we expect you to be smarter than this. For how long will a politician so openly fraught with a sickening bankruptcy of ideas continue to tell you what to think? You are better than that, Sam.

On a friendly note now, have a wonderful easter. I will pay you a courtesy call at your office one of these days, you know, just to say jambo.
