The bulk of the Kenyan population is aged between 16 to 45 give or take a few. That age group has a lot more in common with these two youngsters in terms of what they want out of life. Kenyans as you very well know, love to party. Considering that most of those who died post elections were in considerably young, I think it would be a good idea for these the elder Kibaki/Raila to use them to reach out the young future leaders of tomorrow. They might just tap into that large base, excite them and bring them into the fold. They speak their language. Kibaki and Raila do not hung out in Hurlingham.

There’s no contrast here, just reality. The poor must sustain the rich. It is the way of the world. The faster you accept this fact and succumb to your social strata, the better for you.<BR/><BR/>I think we must be very careful not to frown on the affluence and riches that we all aspire to attain. No Kenyan will say no to vacations in Seychelles, a house in Runda and two shopping sprees in Europe and Dubai each year. <BR/><BR/>We all want our sons to go to Rift Valley Academy, play rugby, exclusively sex ministerial and ambassadorial daughters while driving the latest 7 series BMW. <BR/><BR/>Now, if your son goes to Korogocho Boys and Girls Secondary School, plays darts or drafts at the kiosk, has sex exclusively with the maids of Ziwani estate and doesn’t even ride a bike, it is because you did not work hard enough. You may have got the As in high school and University but you did not work on the contacts you need to survive in Kenya. You looked at life in the same way your nursery school daughter does.

In their minds, the sovereignty of Zimbabwe (read Mugabe administration) is of utmost importance and must be accorded deserved respect. With cholera in the streets and way over 250,000,000% inflation, they, like Mbeki still want to sit down in a conference room to understand Mugabe and the problems of his country. Fellas, the people of Zimbabwe are living in extraordinary times…. it’s only extraordinary measures that will see them through.

In fact, he is following the rule upheld by most African leaders. Most were silent in Darfur, Rwanda, Kenya and now Zimbabwe. This is where ideas like silent diplomacy emanated from. In fact, if Kibaki was to publicly rebuke Mugabe, most African leaders would vilify him. He will be called a traitor to the cause of ‘African Leadership’.

We know for a fact that our MP’s are some of the highest paid parliamentarians in the world and, of course, I don’t have to tell you that they are most unproductive too. <BR/>If MP’s were taxed at a rate of say 30 percent, the government would raise in excess of a quarter billion shillings, this is not chopped liver, it can go a long way in alleviating some of the pressing social and economic issues in Kenya today. On issues of tax, more often than not, it’s not the quantum amount that one pays rather it’s the principle.<BR/>In my petition, which is before Justice Nyamu, I seek orders to compel KRA not to levy any taxes on my salary and allowances. Instead I will have the deductions deposited in an escrow account managed by the High Court of Kenya until such a time that matter is determined. I also want a constitutional court to declare section 5 read together with section 2 of the National Assembly Remuneration Act Chapter 5 of the Laws of Kenya null and void as they infringe on my fundamental human rights contrary to sections 82 (1), (2), (3), (4), 70(a) and 74(a) 1.<BR/>To avoid the legal jargon, I basically want the salaries and allowances of MP’s and other constitutional office holders (judges, the Attorney General, Commissioners of the Public Service Commission etc) to be subjected to tax under the Income Tax Act.<BR/>Friends, herein lies the challenge, by targeting MP’s, the same bullet will hit other constitutional office holders critical to the determination of my petition i.e. judges, and that is why I send you this appeal.<BR/>I would like you to spread the word on my behalf to all your friends and relatives regarding this petition. I have attached the press release which we sent out to the media this morning, you are at liberty to sambaza it far and wide even overseas if you can to our brothers and sisters in the diaspora.<BR/>For those of you who feel touched by my petition, come, be enjoined in the petition, lets fight from the frontlines together. Those who have expertise that can help us with the campaign please feel free to email myself or my advocate, Ashford who is copied on this email. <BR/>If you are a lawyer and you think you can add value to the petition please feel free to come forward with your suggestions we are more than willing to have a sit-down and share with you.<BR/>If you are tech-savvy, and use online social networks such as Facebook, please spread the press release to your friends there.<BR/>Most importantly, the more people get enjoined in the petition the better as it will show the level of public interest and put pressure on the courts to fair and impartial even though they are going to have their salaries and allowances taxed.<BR/>In the meantime I will be going before Justice Nyamu tomorrow morning at 9.00am if you can find time please come we need all the company we can get.<BR/>Have a great day,<BR/>Kind regards,<BR/> <BR/>Michael OtienoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-55146073573504974532008-12-05T06:43:00.000-08:002008-12-05T06:43:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Singahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484313910699004123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-3230143179745524082008-12-05T06:39:00.000-08:002008-12-05T06:39:00.000-08:00Papa+I am not sure the juveniles would communicate...Papa+<BR/>I am not sure the juveniles would communicate effectively with Kenyans except themselves.

At first I was glad that they did not sustain any serious injuries. And then I was glad that the scions of Kenyatta and Odinga can party and have fun together. I think it would be a brilliant idea to have these two young men become ambassadors of peace and reconcialliation in Kenya. They should tour the country together to promote unity and heal the country. I think they will have more success than the strained and pained and un natural spector of Raila and Kibaki together.

Many people like to blame poverty on the poor, some blame genetics, arguing that the poor are actually genetically inferior, others argue that the poor are simply uneducated, or that they lack the self control to save instead of spending.<BR/><BR/>All of these arguments are wrong. There have been numerous studies looking at the intelligence and behavior of the poor. The general conclusion is that the poor are a product of their environment and nothing else. The poverty problem originates in our social system; our laws, our economic structure and the way capital in our system is distributed.<BR/><BR/>So, that leads us to the next question how do we close the gap between the rich and the poor? I think the entire system really needs overhaul re-structuring. Currently the wealth of the nation is concentrated on 10% of the population which has ranked Kenya as one of the most unequal society. (I believe it's the third or so most unequal society in the world after India and Brazil)<BR/><BR/>To reform such a system you need a well-balanced redistribution of wealth. This could mean harsh inheritance (death) tax, perhaps as high as 90% of inheritance. A less radical way to reform the system would be to tax the rich more, but at not on high level. Also we should have a minimum wage structure which should contain government subsidies so that it does not hurt the private firms and companies, or else it will result in high inflation which can force companies to shut down warehouses and other workstations, causing even further unemployment.<BR/>Besides robust distribution system, there should be a change in our criminal laws, a change in the way military and Mps funding is spent (and how much of it is spent) and there must be greater spending on education, housing and medical care.<BR/><BR/>I should like say briefly about Mahatma Gandhi's views on poverty and injustice.<BR/>The two supreme values for Gandhi were truth and nonviolence. One of his greatest insights was to understand that violence was linked to poverty and injustice, which are sometimes now referred to as structural violence. He opposed poverty and injustice because to do so was a pre-condition for peace, at the same time he was against violence.Kwalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243385762623172961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-53340241517063080162008-12-05T03:32:00.000-08:002008-12-05T03:32:00.000-08:00Urxlnc,yet again your name does not belie the qual...Urxlnc,<BR/>yet again your name does not belie the quality of your posts-this is an excellent blogging and thank you for it<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately in this country the nouveau riche ARE the ethnic political elite who can rightly be described as the main corruption element of this society<BR/><BR/>Its not always clear how they acquired their wealth;however, its this economic endownment that they hereditarily pass onto their offspring who have grown up with a misplaced sense of entitlement-the world is not enough and to them the world is a stage and life is but a play and they forever remain grown-up children stuck in second childhood.
