Hand of Satan: "That was my hand trying to caress Shebesh and calm her down... it's just that it was moving at high speed." (suggestion from spin doctor of what Kidero should say after being shown the footage with evidence of him violently slapping Rachel Shebesh.)
"I have no recollection of what happened but I did not slap anybody." (what Kidero said on national TV. Politicians tell lies all the time but this one was too much for me).
I woke up somewhere in the banana republic this morning feeling cheeky and so I went straight to Google and typed "Kidero arrested."
Very funny. Such things don't happen in the banana republic where there are two sets of laws. Those for mere mortals and those for the political class and the rich. Now when you are a rich man like Kidero and also in the political class, the policeman who tries to follow the law will be arrested first before the man who broke the law on live television is touched.
I have absolutely no time for people who hit women. It does not matter what the woman has done (even if it is your wife and you have found her legs wide and somebody else on-top of her). You just don't hit women. In my view men who hit women are NOT men. They are cowards, sissies and... (let me just stop there).
From my experience men who hit women supposedly when they have lost their temper never dare hit another man with the same temper lost ten times over. That's because they know the man can hit back and harm them. And so they prey on women and practice their slaps on the weaker sex safe in the knowledge that they can stay out of harms' way.
Let's get a few facts straight.
Kidero slapped Shebesh with a lot of force. (the irrefutable evidence is captured on video and was aired on national TV).
Kidero broke the law. It does not matter if he slapped a Koinange street slut or a nun from a convent, the law does NOT make any distinction here.
Kidero MUST face the law just like any other Kenyan. Otherwise nobody should ever be arrested again for slapping anybody. Let's change the law and allow everybody to slap anybody when they feel like it.
Kidero MUST resign, even as he waits to serve a jail term for breaking the law. Some CORDed Kenyans will want to argue that it would rather be appropriate for the Nairobi governor to run the city on skype from jail, but to me that s not even funny. I tend to lose my humour when a man hits a woman.
And so the big question this post must ask is why has Kidero not been arrested yet? What is the delay about?
It is laughable that this is the man who wants to stand for president one day. You slap a woman and then you lie in front of the cameras and say you did not. And yet the evidence is clearly on tape. What Kidero probably didn't know is what modern video cameras can do these days (especially from a distance) and he was probably sure that nobody saw anything and those who did he could easily pay off to say something else.
Kidero's political career must be over and has to be over. Personally if he continues as governor... (let me not say it). Kidero MUST GO and the sooner the better.
More Drama: Kidero goes to police station to report that Shebesh assaulted him.

Now
is an especially trying time for hundreds of thousands of Kenyans still
nursing the scars and wounds of the post election troubles of 2008. It
is now crystal clear that it will take a miracle for them ever get
justice this century. Meanwhile their attackers walk the streets without
a care in the world, safe in the knowledge that "hiyo maneno iliisha"
(that saga ended).
Deputy President William Ruto's trial is about
to begin at a time when witnesses are withdrawing in alarmingly large
numbers. You need evidence and witnesses to prove a case.
To
add insult to injury the JUBILEE government in a carefully timed and
choreographed move is seeking to withdraw the country from the Rome
Statute (how on earth did we sign such a thing knowing our politics?).
The debate will no doubt be heated in both houses and many will take the
opportunity to play to the gallery for all its' worth, BUT at the end
of the day you can be sure that all motions will be passed with ease. It
is now pure politics and the spin is how can our president and vice
president face the humiliation of appearing before a foreign court, as
if we do not have a court system in Kenya? Very compelling.
Long
forgotten are the actual sufferings innocent Kenyans went through. And
if indeed some of those who suffered were less Kenyans than others,
still no human being should be allowed to go through such trauma... and
for what? Politics? Somebody's extended stay in State House as president of our banana republic? PLEASE!!!!
To
many folks reading this, the PEV is just another chapter in our long
sad history. The dead and raped are just meaningless figures. As
meaningless as the number of violent crimes that happen in distant US
every day (latest FBI figures show that a violent crime occurs in the US
every 25.3 seconds). To make matters worse the vast majority of those
reading this do not even know anybody who was affected by the PEV in
Kenya.
That is why the timing of the horrifyingly dark tale that is my latest book "Let The Blood Flow"
would not have come at a more appropriate time. Kenyans need to wake
up!!! How can we seriously move on with our lives while we still have
internal refugees in our country and while the issues that led to that
horrible bloodbath remain unresolved? How can we seriously look at
ourselves in the mirror and cheer up our MPs and senators as they seek
to withdraw Kenya from the ICC? It is a terrible slap in the face to the
victims and their families and no sane Kenyan should want to be a part
of it. Killing and raping people is NOT politics and will NEVER be
politics. It is criminal. Pure and simple. And although it is true that
to thrive in politics in Kenya one has to be a brutal criminal it is
time to start making a clear distinction in our national conscience.
I
leave you with a personal account from just one victim of the 2008
troubles. There are many who went through much worse than this poor
woman and many others whose story will never be told. But for now read
and think and ponder... look for that thing that is supposed to be somewhere in your chest called a heart if it is still there.
MY NEIGHBOURS - THEY RAPED ME...
On the first of January 2008 we were still fearful. On that day, we were not open for business.
I
worked at the Eldama Ravine shopping centre at Mama Faith's Shop. We
owned the shop. It was just next to my house - they are joined together.
But I stayed home that day because I was scared. We left the shop
locked up.
At about 3pm that day, people came to my home. At the
time there was only my husband and I at home. My children had gone to
visit their grandparents in Nyandarua. There were more than ten people
who came. They were all men. They were dressed in coats and they had
smeared mud on their faces so you could not recognize them. The mud was
different colors on their faces - white back and red in spots - patches
all over their faces. They were armed. They had arrows, pangas and
rungus.
The first I knew they were there was when I heard talking and noises outside. They were speaking in Kalenjin.
They
said "we have come to finish you." The door was not locked so they just
came inside. My husband and I were in the sitting room. We were sitting
down but stood up as soon as the men walked in. When they came in I
began to plead with them because of what I had heard them say. I asked
them why they were doing this when we had lived with them for so many
years. They ordered me to shut up and said that the Kikuyu had migrated
to the area and taken up their (the Kalenjin's) property. They asked me
to be quiet or they were going to kill me. So I just kept quiet then.
That
is when they started attacking my husband. They began cutting him with
pangas and pierced him with arrows. My husband he did not go without a
fight, the men, they struggled to keep him to the ground. They crowded
him - ten of them against him... they attacked him. I was scared.
With
a panga they sliced his neck, and he fell to the ground. It was a
serious blow. As if that was not enough, that he was lying on the
ground, they cut up his body into little pieces.
After they cut
up my husband, but before he died, one of the men came towards me and
asked me what I wanted to be done to me. I asked them not to kill me.
One
said "we need to know what she is like, now that she never talks to
us". There was another group of men who were looting my shop. I could
see them from the door - it was still open. They were going past
carrying property from my shop: sugar, cooking fat and other goods.
I
was wearing trousers with buttons at the waist. The men tore at my
trousers trying to get them open and the buttons came off. There were
about four of them there doing this to me at that time.
They lifted me up and put me on the ground. They were arguing amongst themselves who was going to be the first.
Then
one said that if I escaped from the knife and arrows, I would die of
AIDS. Some of them held my legs and some held my hands while they raped
me. When this was happening my husband and I were both still in the
sitting room, but by now I was not watching my husband but pleading my
own case.
The last time I had looked at him, it was like he was dead. He wasn't moving.
One
man raped me and then the second one and the third. They put their
penises in my vagina. It was either the second or the third man who said
they were not able to get inside me: so they cut me.
I think it
was the panga they were carrying that they used. They cut my vagina and
continued raping me with the blood flowing. As they raped me I thought
about my children. I remember that when I had my children, my doctor had
told me that I had a narrow opening. So both my children were born by
cesarean.
They continued raping me. It was when the fourth man
was raping me that I went unconscious.I next remember - and it is vague -
that a Kalenjin friend of ours called Joseph was there and he was
pleading with the men. He was asking them for him to be allowed to take
the body of my husband and take me to hospital. The men started
quarreling with him and told him that he was in partnership with us.
They threatened to kill him. MORE STARTLING REVELATIONS in Let The Blood Flow. To get details on how to obtain a copy of this horror of a book with pictures email Kumekucha at umissedthis at gmail dot com. OR sms 0701 333112 for instant details.
