Speaker Justin Muturi's Bigoted Ethnic Slurs Point to Rotten Kenyan Leadership

In commonwealth countries, parliamentary speakers play a crucial role. In order to ensure the orderly flow of business, the national assembly observes parliamentary rules, procedures and traditions, both written and unwritten.

It is the Speaker's duty to interpret these rules IMPARTIALLY , to remain NEUTRAL in government and opposition debates, to maintain ORDER, and to DEFEND the rights and privileges of Members, including the right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

In order to preserve the trust of the House, the Speaker's must uphold the sanctity of the national assembly; and his actions and utterances must be impartial.

Consequently, the Speaker never participates in debate nor allow the use unparliamentary language on the floor of the house. The Speaker may only vote in case of a tie during division. The speaker works to balance the right of the Government to transact business in an orderly manner and the right of all Members to be heard in debate.

It all seems civil and clear cut until you happen to tune to Kenya parliamentary live debates! Yup. The curse that is the Jubilee tyranny of numbers.

Kenyans do not seem to be shocked to have received news reports of Speaker Justin Muturi shouting down Kibra Member of Parliament Hon. Kenneth Okoth during live parliamentary debate yesterday: "This is not Kibera!" As if to assert the Speaker’s unfortunate comment, the Majority Leader Hon Aden Duale finished it off by yelling "it is not Kibera and we are not selling fish!"

Welcome to the land of Jubilee dominated parliament, where the insanity of ethnic innuendos, insults and tribal imputations are in abundance! Mind you, it is not the first time Speaker has used these offensive words in parliament while supressing the rights of the Honourable Member of Kibra. He has made it a habit. Instead of leading parliamentary debate towards legislating ways to help citizens improve their lives and attain better levels of development; Speaker Muturi is leading parliament to lowering its own prestige in the eyes of the public and propagating anti-Luo garbage. Instead of enforcing rules, Speaker violates them! Can Kenyans expect quality legislation?

The implication here is that parliament is not Kibera slums (where the honourable member was born and bred, and represents in parliament). The speaker’s derogatory remarks are aimed straight at Kibra voters where he assumes the majority of residents are from the Luo ethnic community whose common delicacy is fish, and according to Duale where parliament is not a fish market. Reminds us of Amos Kimunya of the past.

The Speaker not only violated parliamentary custom and standing orders, but also unwittingly let out an extremely dangerous inflammatory statement on the floor of the house which was only made worse by the majority leader. These are the silly stereotypes against poor communities more often promoted in political circles that majority Luos inhabiting Kibera slums are generally idle/lazy, drunk/drugged, diseased/unhealthy and violent/criminal slum-dwellers. Nothing could be further from the truth. All communities of Kenya live in Kibera and all communities of Kenya do sell and eat fish. So much for ignorance and silly stereotyping!

On a personal level, knowing who Hon. Kenneth Okoth is even before he became MP, this is a young man who has achieved a lot and given back so much to his community. It will be impossible for either Muturi or Dualle to achieve half of what the MP has attained.

In developed democracies, Speaker Muturi’s utterances are enough reason to demand a resignation. But in Kenya, he will be defended by people who wont see anything wrong with his reckless talk. They would tell you Muturi is doing a great job leading an institution promoting a common national heritage!

But WHAT IF it was Raila who shouted at Ngunjiri, “this is not Majengo (Nyeri slums), and Ababu sums it “and we don’t treat jigger infestations here!”? Jibu hiyo…

Uhuruto Confidential

 
Sometimes you blog so much that you forget what you have written in the past. I stumbled upon this old Kumekucha post by our very own Taabu (or is it Taboo?) published on November 6th 2012 and almost fell off my chair, my coffee spilled and missed the keyboard by a whisker (no kidding). Read it for yourself to discover why (and keep a close eye on the date it was penned, click on the headline to go to the actual post and comments at the time);

The Hague Referendum Aimed to Burn with Kenya
Like him hate him, Cherangani MP Joshua Kuttuny has a way with words. And when it matters most his gliding lips minces no words and he says-it-as-it-is. No diplospeak. He has told all and sundry that next year's elections is a referendum on The Hague. Period.

Forget where all The Hague business earned its first coin. We did not take ourselves to that place it came seeking us with a laser guided missile. You must remember the nation's battle cry 'NO HAGUE, LET'S BE VAGUE'.

And golden pair Uhuruto have declared the elections must be won first round so that they can concentrate in defending themselves at The Hague. Make no mistake, you don't need to be a resident president. Ruto has spelt it clearly that he can remotely rule by ICT. We have been paying absentee MPs for ages, why not upgrade?

You cannot blame the conjoined twins Uhuruto. Their fate is so similar and so bleak only winning the Presidency and using it appears the only path to beat ICC. And don't engage your fertile imagination to extrapolate into what they are not saying.

So will Kenyans play ball and help bail out our prodigal political twins? No need for guessing they have done the maths and it looks promising.

Uhuru and Ruto knows all they need is have to their respective communities under lock and key. After that the rotund Gambian Fatou Bensouda is cooked goose.

Tempting ICC gods
Forget the moribund G7. That was a warmup kit before the main match by two friendly parties. Give it to Jomo Junior, what he has done with T(i)NA within these last few months is incredible. He would not have had the leeway to do as he pleases with Kanu.

Raila never saw it coming. Even his sojourn with Kalenjin Elders will not save him this time. The die is cast and all the faces bear no resemblance to son of Jaramogi. What a rude political send off for the prime Minister.

The diplomat Stevo true to his calling still harbours hope that some miracle will happen and he will feast on the fallen limbs. Politics must be a very rude sport. Just ask Musalia Mudavadi who was bought new political sails only to be left in the doldrums at the mercy of UPEPO WA KUSI.

Uhuruto has all it takes to tempt both the gods of ICC and fate itself. We haven't seen anything yet. The game has been determined and the Kenyan voter has been squarely roped in. Playing is just but a routine.

No need for abstract theories. The two suspects need power to twin their fate with Kenya. Game over and damn the consequences. NA BADO. 
.....ends.

There is no doubt that there are plenty more secrets that Uhuruto have that would make them cringe to even imagine that they would ever see the light of day in the press. Hence the media bill which must now be "negotiated". But even more fascinating is the fact that 2017 elections (big yawn to Kenyans right now) has been the focus of the duo in recent weeks. Ladies and gentlemen what is happening are the finer details of a re-election with ease being finalized. By the time the rest of Kenya wakes up on the eve of those polls it will be too late. Smartness nayo!!

East African President to be kidnapped by terrorists? Whoa!!!

Who is this East African president who will fall in the hands of terrorists?

Kumekucha has a long history of making predictions most of which are based on privileged information on the ground and leaked dossiers. In the almost 10 years we have been around, sometimes we have quoted prophecies from selected spiritual persons with some kind of track record. In these cases we have gone further and analyzed the facts on the ground in relation to the prediction/prophecy.
 
TB Joshua: 99% record of being proved right

We are only human and so naturally our record for predictions is NOT 100% and I do not want to make the excuse that there are a few instances where we have had reason to believe that our leaked info has caused “the villains” to abandon their plans. And so our record since inception on predictions is a measly 91 %. There are those who think that this is quite a good score but the problem is that our esteemed regular readers prefer to focus on the times we have been wrong. Those they never forget (LOL!!).

The first time I heard of TB Joshua, he was predicting the death of an African president. I ignored that one while we did some extra digging to find out exactly where this guy was coming from. But shortly after that sensational prophecy Malawian President Bingu wa Mutharika passed on and there was an internet storm over the prophecy and its’ fulfillment. I have carefully looked through the man’s prophecies and his record is much better than Kumekucha's. Actually so far I have found only one prophecy (concerning the end of the Boko Haram terror by 2012) which never came to pass. Indeed the man’s record for being proved right is so scarily high that conmen frequently use his name to make predictions and end up causing great panic.

Now TB Joshua has predicted that an East African President will soon be kidnapped by terrorists. WHOA!! Already that prophecy has sent shock waves across the region. Let us look at the facts on the ground a little more closely to identify the president who may soon be in the hand of terrorists (if TB Joshua’s track record holds). There is some astounding info of developments on the ground… (continued in my latest raw notes).

Was the government clandestinely behind the Westgate attack? I have personally refused to believe that there is any iota of truth in those persistent rumours so much so that I have not even bothered to follow up with my contacts on the issue. But something amazing has happened. I have received a handful of reports from some of my contacts of crazy crazy things that happened during the Westgate attack that I can no longer ignore. In fact they have made me sit up and give the whole thing (as bizarre as it may sound) a second look. The latest report (published yesterday in my Kumekucha Real Time Intelligence Reports) just floored me. It is an eye witness report from a survivor who was at Westgate shopping mall during the attack and the strange things she saw one of her regular customers at the mall doing during the attack and as gunfire continued in earnest.

What the government is terrified the press will publish

National assembly majority leader Aden Duale is a character difficult to understand. Just a few weeks ago he shocked everybody (including his own party) when he said that former President Mwai Kibaki should be arrested for orchestrating an oil deal which he claims put Kshs 15 billion in the pockets of the former president and his cronies. But he just floored me yesterday when I heard him move a new bill that essentially shuts down the press in Kenya. However analysts say he was just following instructions in a carefully choreographed script that sneaked in a bill that would make even Breshnev from old Russia blush.
 
Daniel arap Moi ruled Kenya for 24 long years. He jailed and maimed journalists BUT he never EVER introduced a single bill in parliament to reign in the press. Mwai Kibaki ruled Kenya only for 10 short years but introduced a total of 4 bills aimed solely at trimming down the powers (real and imagined) of the critical fourth estate.

Yesterday parliament passed a bill that effectively shuts down free media in the country. What you need to know is the fact that President Uhuru Kenyatta has retained many of Kibaki’s closest advisors (the security team for instance is intact) and the idea is to continue on the same path as his predecessor in a few key areas. Naturally top on their agenda is the “annoying press.”

There was such secrecy in the drafting and preparation of the bill coupled with the fact that it was carefully introduced when many vocal CORD legislators and level headed JUBILEE members were not in the house. This press shut down law was passed only by 60 members in a house with over 400.

Most Kenyans do not believe that the president will pick a pen with his left hand and appended his signature on the bill. Now why wouldn’t he when the bill was hatched crafted and plotted through parliament from State house? Our only hope are some “annoying” level headed the advisors that the president insists on retaining who may just persuade him that the huge political capital he will gain from not signing the bill will be worth rubbishing all the hard work that was put into it that started way back during Kibaki’s presidency.

But what Kenyans need to focus their attention on now is what the government is so desperate to hide from the public. That is where this whole phobia from the press originates from and is driven by.

Corrupt deals? Unlikely. That is stale, harmless information. Everybody knows that mega-corruption is alive and well in Kenya today. So we have to look elsewhere.

One tiny piece of information that the government is terrified about has to do with (Read the rest of the explosive story in my latest raw notes. Get it FREE in your email inbox in seconds, no catch.)

Oswago's terrible blunder

IEBC CEO James Oswago considers himself a smart man. There is no other way one can survive in such a high profile post in Kenya today. But there is one major blunder he seems to have made that could prove to be extremely costly to him.

When you are CEO and something happens on your watch you cannot look the other way and assume that because it is being done by very powerful government operatives, you are clean. The truth is that the buck stops on your desk as CEO.

There is no doubt that there was some wrong doing over the hurried ordering of voter identification equipment in the run up to the March 2013 general elections. Impeccable sources reveal that Oswago is clean but could do nothing as powerful individuals linked to State house did their thing. But right now he is in big trouble because legally the buck stops with him and it will be extremely difficult for him to absolve himself from blame.

Remarks made by Oswago to the press at the time it first came to light that the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) were investigating him are very revealing. He said; .

" I have given EACC overwhelming comprehensive oral and documentary explanation . The EACC know from whom to get the answers to their questions and let them give it to you without protecting the persons."

Shocking real reason why Sonko slapped Shebesh

PLUS How Ngilu and Balala were sneaked into the cabinet...
Politicians never change just like leopards never change their spots. The president may now be having deep regrets over rescinding his earlier decision NOT to include politicians in his cabinet. (Actually the latest information I have is that an extremely influential personality very close to him pleaded with him to change his mind. The revealing article is in a recent issue of my Kumekucha's raw notes.)
 
After the incident a few months ago where we give insider info on how Balala is said to have asked for a bribe from a mining company in exchange for NOT cancelling their license, Ngilu is now at the centre of a major land scandal.

This clearly justifies the policy of never appointing politicians to cabinet slots. You really can never teach old dogs new tricks. Most of the other members of the cabinet are professionals and people eager to retain their reputations and good standing which is critical to enhancing their careers further after their terms in cabinet come to an end as they inevitably will. In sharp contrast politicians in the banana republic don't care and use their positions of influence to make as much money as they can in the shortest time possible.

Mutula GOK autopsy confirms shocking Kumekucha book

------
Incidentally the adage easy come, easy go comes into play here because former legislator Ferdinand Waititu is said to be very broke and penniless at the moment and is living on handouts. Quite amazing for somebody who earned a million bob a month for 5 years and had access to all kinds of perks and loan facilities to enhance his financial standing. This is excluding the other numerous money making "deals" that are always available in the august house. He is hardly the exception. For instance yet another former legislator is rumoured to be now walking to town all the way from Runda for lack of matatu fare. Supporting the widely held view that in the banana republic once you enter politics and then lose an election you are finished in every sense of the word.

You will be shell shocked to discover the real reason for the recent well publicized spat between Nairobi senator Mike Sonko and embattled Rachel Shebesh. The information is in my latest Weekly Intelligence Briefings.

Man was jailed only because he is a Kikuyu

Peter Kariuki is almost 70 years old now but for the last 31 years he has been fighting to clear his name and to get back his military rank. Those are 31 years of his life that he has lost and are gone forever.

The Daily Nation yesterday published a fascinating piece on the sad story of Kariuki. Read it HERE.

In fact Kariuki was lucky in that he missed the hangman's noose by a whisker. And it all happen simply because he was the “wrong tribe.”

Mulinge with Mahmood Mohammed in the 80s

Senior military and even police appointments have always been political. The insecure Kenyan presidency in the past has been uncomfortable about having any senior security men close to them whom they do not trust completely. And quite often those they trust have ended up being people from their own villages and where possible relatives. Both Ben Gethi who headed GSU and Bernard Hinga (police commissioner) were relatives of President Jomo Kenyatta. This has meant that promotion beyond a certain level in the military and police has always been highly dependent on the politics of the day rather than merit. The saddest thing here is that many very competent and deserving officers have lost out simply because they were the wrong tribe.

Mercifully things are beginning to change now but ever too slowly.

But back to Kariuki's tale. The only reason that Kariuki headed the air force under Moi was because that wing of the KDF has always been "highly technical" requiring officers with a strong academic background (especially in the sciences). The result is that to this day most of the air force personnel are either Luo or Kikuyu.

It is no secret that the air force has always looked down on non-airforce personnel as uneducated and not very bright. "Watu wa mkono" they used to be referred to in the 1980s. Loosely translated it means the people who do the manual work under supervision of professionals. The rest of the military then quite rightly felt that the air force fellows were full of themselves and “thought that they knew everything." Interestingly current chief spook Michael Gichangi is a former senior air force officer.
 
Peter Kariuki today: Lost 31 years of his life because he is a Kikuyu.

This military politics was the main reason why the 1982 coup attempt failed. Those outside the air force who had to make a quick decision on whether or not to join the coup plotters just couldn't stand the idea of having the air force lead the putsch and so when they had the chance to crush the 1982 coup attempt you can be sure that it was done with more than a lot of relish and gratification.

And so despite the fact that Peter Kariuki was one of the first people to sound out the alarm that there was a coup plot in the offing in 1982 (well before it actually happened on August 1st) and even informing the CGS at the time (General Mulinge), he was arrested, charged and jailed for 4 years for “failing to stop the coup.” He was also stripped of his military rank.

And it all boiled down to the then President’s well known phobia for the Kikuyu. Moi's great fear for the Kikuyu is illustrated clearly in my book; Dark Secrets of the Presidency. “Iyo Kikuyu lazima alijua kitu, rokota yeye.” (That Kikuyu must have known something, arrest him).

Even more interesting was the man who replaced Kariuki at the air force (which was re-named the “82 air force” after that failed coup.) It was the then deputy army commander General Mahmood Mohammed. Mohammed was quite a character. It is said that at the height of the 82 coup he did not trust any other officer to lead the operation to re-take the KBC (held by the air force and being used to transmit news of the “successful” coup countrywide.) And so he removed his decorated military jacket heavy with medals and stars and put on military fatigues to personally lead the squad that stormed KBC and took out the air force rebels with heavy casualties on the air force side (they were not accepting any surrenders). Mahmoud's gun was said to have been one of the most active in that operation.

Mahmood was a career infantry soldier with a very limited educational background but he is the one who got the nod to take over at the helm of the "technical" airforce, Mahmood later went on to take over as CGS when Mulinge retired.

The JUBILEE government needs to address and correct this great injustice against a patriotic and faithful soldier who has suffered all these years simply because he was the wrong tribe at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Is Kibaki safe from the ICC?

For the first time in the history of Kenya we have two retired presidents in the wings as a third relatively youthful one is at the helm. Most Kenyans do not realize it yet but our circumstances are such that both retired presidents are still extremely powerful. Albeit for totally different reasons.

Kibaki could not have been happier handing over power to his godson and the man who was only a few days old when he himself gave him his name UHURU. Uhuru’s ascension to power was all part of a very elaborate plan hatched in the run up to the 2007 elections. Later the plan took on a new urgency and became a do or die road map aimed at ensuring that even in retirement Kibaki would stay well away from the menacing claws and reach of the increasingly threatening ICC court at the Hague (read my book on the PEV Let The Blood Flow).

The truth is that as testimonies continue to fly thick and fast from the Hague it will become increasingly clear who the person most responsible for the 2008 post election troubles (according to ICC prosecutors) is. 

So for those who are alert and observant the question now has to be in view of recent developments, is Kibaki safe from the ICC in retirement? The shocking answer and the latest ICC strategy on Kibaki is revealed in a recent issue of my much acclaimed Kumekucha Real Time Intelligence Reports (send an email to umissedthis at gmail dot com for an instant response on how to get your hands on these much acclaimed reports).

But Kenya’s second president Daniel arap Moi is probably even more powerful in Kenya today. Not only has the former president kept himself very much in the loop with an impressive team of handlers still at his beck and call but he is also the closest mentor that President Uhuru Kenyatta currently has. Remember that it was the same Moi who groomed Uhuru for the presidency in 2002. It was a failed attempt because Mwai Kibaki ascended to the presidency. But Moi’s hard work behind the scenes did not go to waste because as you read this Uhuru is now finally president of Kenya.

Fascinatingly very few Kenyans remember that Uhuru had major problems speaking Kiswahili before 2002. Today he speaks and even the Waswahili Kenyans at the Coast with their sophisticated Kiswahili understand what he is saying.

Observant Kenyans will also have noticed that Moi has kept a much lower profile since the 2013 elections than he did during Kibaki’s 10 years at State house. Do not for a moment fool yourself that mzee is getting senile. He is in fact in much better shape than Kibaki (who will celebrate his 82nd year on earth on November 15th. Moi hit 89 on September 2nd).

No 2 still retains much the same programme he maintained during his 24 tenure as president getting up at 4am every day. By the time he sits down to his breakfast of plenty of milk and brown wimbi porridge at 6am he has read all the newspapers and has a pretty good idea of what is going on in the entire banana republic. This information helps him a great deal in the counsel he gives to President Uhuru on a regular basis. Politics aside our president is indeed lucky to benefit from the vast experience and wisdom Moi has and all he has to do is listen and take only what he wants to use. He doesn’t have to be another Moi because that won’t quite work in today’s rapidly evolving Kenya. 

Moi is keeping a low profile because he is more powerful than ever.

My latest information is that Kibaki is recovering quite well from the ordeal that was the presidency for him. More so when all the pressure came after the terrible road accident he had at the Machakos junction in December 2002, where he was very lucky to have survived, thanks mainly to the airbags that inflated in micro seconds inside the car he was traveling in. But Obako, as most Kenyans like to call him has a nagging problem still haunting him and it has to do with what is unfolding far away in Holland.

Propaganda invades Kenyan TV news

"These guys are spinning so much that it is making me dizzy." that was a comment from a leading media analyst to me last night.

Spinning, PR and media are mighty powerful. Done with the skill that is obviously somewhere in State house, it sways public opinion and turns lies into solid facts and solid facts into unconfirmed hearsay.

I have watched with horror as bloggers and popular columnists have started churning out articles that suggest the crimes against humanity committed in Kenya in 2008 are nothing and are best forgotten. Justice  can be considered another day... maybe.

Recently the ICC judges did an unlikely thing in granting President Uhuru Kenyatta reprieve and excusing him from attending most of the sessions in his trial which starts next month. Already the president had given a strong indication that he would not attend. The news hit the TV stations as breaking news. The same TV stations that have been highlighting the very few voices that are against the trials proceeding and giving the impression that it is the view of the majority worldwide.

But let's cut to the chase and try and analyze the president's game plan. It is clear that what is at play here are delaying tactics. The very opposite of what an innocent person would do. Indeed this is an age old favourite strategy in Kenyan courts. Actually it has not only been used in cases with political implications but also in ordinary criminal ones. For instance some folks in files arrive at some poverty stricken homestead somewhere in Kenya and announce that the land belongs to them. The case goes to court and drags on for decades. Meanwhile the funds of the poverty stricken family (whose financial standing was carefully analyzed before the land thieves moved in) are running out maintaining their lawyer on the case. In many instances they finally give up and hand over their property to the evil but clever land grabber.

The ICC is of course a different league altogether and so the question is what is the end game in getting a one year deferral? Well a lot can happen in a year. Politics can change, terrorist attacks can increase and witnesses can pass on etc.

What was Raila Odinga's involvement in the 2008 post election violence? This explosive article is a wee bit sensitive to publish online but you can see it in a few seconds, please read it in your email inbox for FREE).

What was Raila's role in 2008 post election violence?

His name has been mentioned by numerous Kenyans in connection with the post election troubles of 2008 mostly asking why Kibaki and Raila were not charged as the most responsible. However all indications are that the ICC has not and will never investigate the former Prime Minister regarding the post election troubles and the ongoing Kenyan cases?

Why?

Why, when we know that the the greatest damage done were the atrocities committed by ODM sympathizers at the time in the Rift Valley and more specifically by the Kalenjin community?

Actually this is an extremely difficult topic to discuss anywhere in Kenya because it quickly becomes impossible to say anything without being branded a supporter of either side. But let us forget the politics for a minute and look at the hard facts, shall we?

Raila Odinga won the 2007 presidential elections and by estimates from various parties not by a slim margin but by a landslide. But the loser of those elections was instead declared the winner by about 200,000 votes. Raila was the victim of injustice on a scale that is hard to fathom. For instance a presidential campaign costs an absolute fortune and nobody has ever talked about compensation him for taking part in an election whose winner had already been decided well in advance.

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that those who rigged the election had prepared for trouble and riot police were given careful orders to shoot demonstrators dead so as to quell the violence quickly, which would have worked pretty well except where they were dealing with the Kalenjin militia who have a long history of vanquishing enemies with guns using only their bow and arrows and surprise blitz military tactics (ask the British who were resisted for 11 long years along with their powerful arsenal of canons).

It is also true that the ODM high command planned to make the country ungovernable by sabotaging communications (hence the uprooting of the railway line in Kibera). The truth that nobody wants to talk about is that they also encouraged resistance by the Kalenjin militia in the Rift Valley. That militia ended up committing serious crimes against humanity. Ruto's defenders have always argued that they got the order to unleash their terror from the top echelons of ODM who ended up NOT appearing anywhere on the Waki report. Understandably this is not the kind of argument any sane person would want to argue in a court of law because they would be admitting in the process that they actually committed those crimes (rest of the article is a wee bit sensitive but you can see it in a few seconds, please read it in your email inbox for FREE).

Damning conclusive evidence that can only result in GUILTY verdict

Is it fair to hold an entire nation at ransom for a personal offense you allegedly committed? Is it okay for millions of Kenyans to suffer whatever consequences will emerge from the ongoing tussle between the government of Kenya and the ICC and international community at large for the sake of no more than two people?

Or should we throw caution to the wind and sacrifice everything to rescue our head of state and his deputy?

Those are the hard questions that Kenyans need to start asking themselves pronto. The time for tribal euphoria or petty local political contests is long over. The aftermath of whatever honeymoon we were on is the harsh reality that cannot be wished away. It is a reality already facing us squarely in the face.

The latest explosive information that this blogger has received explains a lot of what has been happening over the last few weeks. The information is extremely sensitive and reveals evidence of a conclusive nature that the ICC prosecutors have on the Kenyan cases that can lead to only one verdict if the cases proceed to their logical conclusion.

Still, it is also important to spare a minute for the truth of what really happened in early January 2008 that landed President Uhuru Kenyatta at the Hague. A neutral Kenyan will not help but sympathize with the President who for all intents and purposes received the wrong phone call at the wrong time and ended up being at a very wrong place at a very wrong time. But that's how the law operates in our world and when you are aware of the facts and throw away your political leaning chances are that you will want to sympathize deeply with the president and support his move not to attend his trial at the ICC.

But then you do not need to follow my view blindly. Simply read the facts for yourself and then make your own judgement (more details on how you can do that at the bottom of this article).

The case of William Ruto and former journalist Sang is a completely different ball game. VERY different. It is widely known that Kalenjin youths took blood oaths gladly, fuming with a rage that had been building up within the community for decades. They were then financed and facilitated to go out and exterminate (couldn't find a better word here) or to use the language coined at the time; to remove madoadoa (loosely translated it means to remove the ugly spots).

What happened next is the kind of stuff you cannot even make up in the scariest Hollywood horror movie you can possibly imagine. One woman watched her husband being killed and cut to pieces (mercifully the children were away visiting a relative). She was then raped by several youths until one of them started complaining that the she was "too narrow" and the opening needed to be enlarged. This "sick" enlargement" was done using an already bloody and filthy panga. The rape then continued with the blood flowing. By some miracle of the most high God, that woman survived the ordeal to talk to the Waki commission. I often wonder what kind of "coaching" such a woman would have required from prosecutors to tell her story and what happened to her. Incidentally the same woman must have heard the youth talking amongst themselves and chances are high that they mentioned names that would lead to their source of funding for the ghastly acts they committed.

I will stop there and resist the temptation to reveal exactly what happened at the Kiambaa church in Eldoret where as the women and children screamed in sheer agony and as the terrible terrible stench of burning human flesh rent the air, the warriors danced to the screams and cries of the women and children. Yep oaths do that kind of thing to you. After all oaths were also widely used by the Mau Mau in the 1950s and helped them commit terrible atrocities in their efforts to draw attention to the plight of the land that had been forcefully taken away from them by white settlers in Kenya.

I apologize for bringing a bad taste to your mouth this morning but the Kumekucha blog fully covered the horrors of the 2007/2008 post election troubles and I still have lots of material we were not able to publish even in Kumekucha (because of its' horrible, horrible, sickening nature. It has all refused to leave my mind). In the last few months and weeks I have made a big effort to ignore the horrors and discuss the ICC cases with a straight face and without emotion. But as I write this nobody wants to talk about the victims. Indeed even relatives of those victims have put politics ahead of getting justice for their departed and loved ones. That has provoked me to let out some of what I have been trying so hard to forget, today.

One thing I want to assure you, based on the latest information I have. At the end of the Ruto/Sang trial (if it goes all the way). No sane member of the human race will fail to feel sick right to the pit of their stomach over what happened (mostly to very innocent people). Is it right then to mock God by calling on his name in prayer to make the plight of the victims go away and ensure that they never get justice? How is it possible to even start to say such a prayer while ignoring the voices of the dead and buried (most of whom died terrible deaths not befitting even an animal) crying out to God for justice from the ground?

Shebesh seriously ill

One of my regular readers here sent me an email last week expressing great concern for embattled Nairobi women's rep, Rachel Shebesh.

It is interesting how everybody seems to have ignored the fact that Mrs Shebesh suffers from a rare but deadly illness known as Bipolar disorder. We live in the information age and anybody can gain info in a flash about the disease. The truth is that Shebesh is a text book example of the ailment.

Bipolar disorder, also known as bipolar affective disorder, or manic depression, is a mental illness classified by psychiatry as a mood disorder. Individuals with bipolar disorder experience episodes of an elevated or agitated mood which are alternated with episodes of depression.

Mania can occur with different levels of severity. At milder levels of mania, or "hypomania", individuals appear energetic, excitable, and may be highly productive. As mania becomes more severe, individuals begin to behave erratically and impulsively, often making poor decisions due to unrealistic ideas about the future, and may have great difficulty with sleep. At the most severe level, individuals can also experience very distorted beliefs about the world known as psychosis.

Most Bipolar patients also experience Hypersexuality. By definition this is extremely frequent urges to have sex that is way above normal. Or suddenly increased sexual urges or sexual activity. The International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization includes “Excessive Sexual Drive” which is divided into satyriasis for males and nymphomania for females, as well as “Excessive Masturbation” in some instances (continued in my current raw notes).

An Open Memo to Kenya Cabinet Secretary – Foreign Affairs

To: Ambassador Amina Mohammed

Subject: Response to your Press Statement of 15 October 2013

You said:

“On behalf of the country, let me say from the beginning that we were extremely humbled and are very grateful for the unparalelled, unprecedented and unwavering support that we received from our continent. In one accord, both the Council and the Summit stood with Kenya on the key questions of the day, showing a solidarity and grip of the major issues that Africa must address in its relations with the International Criminal Court as well as other partners.” 

Not accurate! African champions of human rights and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate like Archbishop Desmond Tutu successfully rallied about 1 million signatures in a global petition to oppose this misguided action. The civil society in every African country signed a petition presented at this summit opposing any move for deferral. The Panel of Eminent Africans created by the same AU, led by another Nobel Peace Price Laureate and former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, and others like Graca Machel, President Benjamin Mkapa, President Chissano, all oppose these justice-subversion shenanigans. Needless to state, and most important — millions of Africans and Kenyan citizens oppose any move aimed at sanctioning impunity for any criminal, be they Presidents, Deputy Presidents, Ministers, MPs, Chiefs, or ordinary citizens alike. There should be no special class of human beings above the law. That’s how genocide can be fertilized.

You said:

Unanimously, the Council and Summit recognized that a sitting Head of State democratically elected, and with a clear mandate from the Kenyan people, must govern. That is what Kenyans expect. That is what Africa expects. It was also clearly stated over and over again that sitting Heads of State and other senior State Officials are granted immunities during their tenure of office. That has always been and remains the practice today even as we speak.

Wrong! Article 143(4) of the brand new Kenyan constitution, specifically prohibits the president’s immunity from criminal prosecution for “crime[s] for which the President may be prosecuted under any treaty to which Kenya is party and which prohibits such immunity.” The Rome Statute is such a treaty and Kenya remains a state party. It is part of our Constitution, and that is why many Kenyans and many across the world are dismayed by Kenyatta’s selfish move to mutilate the new Constitution. Kenyatta has incited the Jubilee-dominated legislature to mutilate this section from the Constitution – by pulling the entire nation (Kenya) out of the Rome Statutes to specifically grant himself immunity from criminal prosecution.

The last contested election outcome should not be used as a basis for rubbishing individual criminal responsibility of the defendants at the ICC. Kenyatta and Ruto campaigned for elected office on pledges to continue their cooperation with the ICC. What was that lie for?

You said:

Africa was unequivocal about its commitment to fight impunity, promote human rights, the rule of law, good governance and democracy on the continent in accordance with the constitutive act of the Union. The continent confirmed its intention to ensure that the Rome Statute, which the majority of its members are party to, is modified by the Assembly of State Parties beginning November, to respond to the aspirations of its largest constituency for a court of last resort of the highest possible standards and standing. Accordingly, and to ensure that the continent rises to its responsibilities and addresses the concerns of its people the AU Commission was mandated to urgently pursue the expansion of the mandate of the African Court of Human and People’s Rights to deal with crimes that fall in the category of International Crimes.

Charity begins at home. What has the Kenya government done to “fight impunity, promote human rights, the rule of law, good governance, and democracy”? In the more than five years since the post-election violence, what has Kenyan authorities delivered in terms of justice – both regarding small fish, medium fish, big fish, and the police who were deeply involved in civilian killings?

There is absolutely no political will to prosecute those who burnt the church at Kiambaa –if the same fella who lit it on fire (Stephen Chemalan) is now a URP elected County rep of the same area. People are not all stupid. There would be no justice if the government’s mantra has been “let’s move on”. Since the Jubilee government is more committed towards withdrawing Kenya from the ICC, why pretend you want to reform/modify an institution you want to move out of? Not all Kenyans are idiots. This misguided attempt to insert political solutions into a judicial process further undermines the interest of victims.

Specifically and in addition, you will be aware that the summit

·       Decided that no charges shall be commenced or continued before any International Court or Tribunal against any serving Head of State or Government or anybody acting or entitled to act in such capacity during his or her term of office

(Thanks for letting the world know Kenyatta will not attend his trial at the ICC). 

·       Agreed that, to safeguard the constitutional order, stability and integrity of member states, no serving AU Head of State or Government or anybody acting or entitled to act in such capacity, shall be required to appear before any international court or tribunal during their term of office. 

 (Thanks for letting the world know about this official embrace of self-entitlement, the big-man syndrome, and impunity).

·       That, accordingly, the trials of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto, be suspended until they complete their terms of office

(In other words, according to this wish-dream Kenyatta would be ready to go to court in 2023, and Ruto in 2033? Then what is Ruto already doing at the Hague? Where do victims rights’ fall in all these? Would there be any surviving witness left to testify for the OTP? )

·       Requested the ICC to postpone the trial of President Kenyatta and suspend proceedings against Deputy President Ruto until such a time as the United Nations Security Council pronounces itself on Kenya’s request for a deferral

(Doesn’t this contradict your earlier statement?)

·       Decided that President Kenyatta will not appear before the ICC until such a time as the concerns raised by the African Union and its member states have been adequately addressed by the Security Council and the ICC.

(Isn’t this even more contradictory?)

You said:

“What does this mean for Kenya and the President and Deputy President? Let me make the following points clear.
First Kenya has from the beginning fully cooperated with the ICC and conformed to the Rome Statute without ever deviating from its obligations. Both the President and the Deputy President have continuously and without fail attended court sessions and argued their cases fully.”

The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) has repeatedly stated that Kenya has stalled and refused to cooperate with ICC on collecting evidence from police and provincial administration bosses, on accessing security meeting briefs and in asset and property identification processes. It is currently delaying the handing over of Barasa who has an arrest warrant issued by the same court.

You said:

“Second As you know our Deputy President is currently at The Hague to ensure that, even as we await for the processing of Africa’s request for a deferral, due process is not in any affected.”

WE ASK: Why can’t Kenyatta emulate his deputy? Why all this hullabaloo then?

You said:

Third The President’s case is due to begin on November 12th 2013 – in a month’s time. The AU made requests to the Security Council, first under paragraph 9 (iii) for a suspension of the proceedings until the end of the terms in office of the President and his Deputy. The AU asked that the trial of the President and the proceedings against the Deputy President be suspended, until such a time that the Security Council considers the request for deferral. It was also decided that the President should not appear before the court until the concerns raised by the AU have been adequately addressed by the Security Council and the ICC.
Thank you.

CONCLUSION: The salient point of Kenyatta’s planned absconding can’t be clearer than this.
