This saga really started last weekend when the Vice President Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka very suddenly and out of the blue said that Kenyans should defend PLO Lumumba who was being targeted by politicians.
Top Cecily Mbarire, bottom PLO Lumumba
I found that a very strange thing for the sworn water melon to say and I started wondering what was going on. Well, I didn’t have to wait long because yesterday when PLO Lumumba called a press conference. Not to announce who he had nabbed but to tell Kenyans about a bribery attempt involving assistant minister Cecily Mbarire and her husband a Mr Dennis Apaa. Strange bibery attempt involving a mere Kshs 100,000. Apparently Apaa is a director in one of the companies Lumumba’s KACC has been investigating in connection to scandals in the water ministry. Read the full story HERE.
What is the connection between the two incidents?
Firstly it is becoming increasingly clear that every time Kalonzo Musyoka opens his mouth to say something this days he is hitting out at Raila Odinga. Indeed if you want to know what is really going on at the Prime Minister’s camp, just listen carefully to what Kalonzo has to say. It is as simple as that.
This blogger has been informed by an impeccable source that the case against Water Minister Charity Ngilu is water tight, forget the fact that she was “cleared” by some parliamentary select committee. All that remains is for somebody to get the prosecution wheels moving.
But apparently that cannot happen so easily because Madam Ngilu is one of those stones that is too heavy to turn. Apart from being a very close associate of Prime Minister Raila Odinga, she also one of the very few people that has the ear of President Kibaki. Kenyans who care to look back just a little will realize that Kibaki would never have made it to president without the crucial support of Madam Ngilu and the late Michael Kijana Wamalwa.
So Ngilu is insulated.
The link between Ngilu and Mbarire is obvious. The two are very close friends and it does not require any imagination to see the deals being alleged to have taken place actually happening.
Now Raila supporters have been busy ensuring that Kalonzo Musyoka is exposed for the hilarious joker he really is, a water melon par excellence. Musyoka who is keen to occupy State house come 2012 is hitting back in kind. And what better way to do so just now than to sink his political rival in Ukambani once and for all with this water ministry scandal? By doing so he will also be making a major dent in the Raila camp because the plan as of this minute is to have Ngilu as Raila’s running mate in 2012.
This is the politics that PLO has been caught up with. PLO Lumumba is an intelligent man and I fail to see why he would not have known that there was no way his sting operation against Mbarire and her husband would not have leaked out to the targets. With the kind of history I have described it was inevitable.
Incidentally this bribe drama also introduces a few questions about PLO. He said that he invited the Mbarire’s to a fund raising event. The question many Kenyans are asking is why would he want to do that? How do you invite a person you are investigating to a fund-raiser?
I am sorry but I have never really brought myself to trust PLO. I just keep remembering his Kanu beginnings where he went out of his way to defend the corrupt dictatorial regime of Daniel arap Moi with those descriptive stylish words of his.
There is much more than meets the eye to this bizarre bribery drama.
bwa ha ha ha he he he, hi hi hi
ReplyDeleteWe have told you CHILDREN countless times that, PLO is just an EMPLOYED IDLER (as so many are) who is not PRODUCTIVE. When will you get it?
More so, we have noted that, the f$%34 WAR ON CORRUPTION which is rampant in Africa is a RACIST THEME/AGENDA perpetuated by the:
(a) World Bank, IMF, TI etc, and
(b) the CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS SCHOOLS of LIES, FRAUD, MURDER, RAPE and ROBBERY.
Simple. Close this f$53£ KACC nonsense and SCATTER those lawyers/LIARS there to get something PRODUCTIVE to do.
Yaani, something like growing SUKUMA WIKI for the nation.
Anyway, since this is Greek, we can only lament like Euripides lamented and thereby, capturing his deepest sympathy with the slaves and the masses on seeing the MORAL and ECONOMIC confusion of Ancient Athens:
"The simple nameless herd of Humanity."
Anyway, as Bob would sing:
Tell the children the truth,
You can't educate I
For no equal opportunity
Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers,
Building CHURCH and UNIVERSITY,
Deceiving the people continually,
Me say them graduatin' THIEVES and MURDERERS
they suckin' the blood of the sufferers

@Mwara,
ReplyDeleteWacha fitina zako na wivu. Did you know that only PLO is paid in GOLD? You must be jealous to insult CHILDREN, LOL.
@Chris,
ReplyDeleteGaitho has dubbed your post on KFC, check it out.
Chris,
ReplyDeleteI am gutted by your lack of creativity in this blog.
Apart from some weekends when you come up with some really good posts, there is not much to expect from this blog apart from the usual crepe.
How about if you make this blog a place to campaign against injustices in the country minus tribal tags?
How about making this blog an inspiration blog for people to come and learn new ideas minus Mwarange'the's inputs?
You did a superb post on KFC the other day; I was expecting that line of thinking to continue.
Joe the blogger
Useless post.
ReplyDeleteI think I have been PLO's harshest critic from day one when I said he's all talk, talk and more talk just like the talking head he is. A simple look at KACC website is quite revealing, a million lectures that he has delivered are uploaded there but zero list on any big fish he has nabbed.
ReplyDeleteTo his credit, the guy is quite a remarkable "salesman" who has convinced many naive Kenyans that he's on top of things. Foolish Kenyans have swallowed every word of his as he spews those rosy vocabs like Martin Luther King. By the way who feeds PLO's in-tray and how do they determine the order since it seems like it's all about fixing certain characters while others are untouchable?
The guys is also very good in convincing or is it duping? he could actually sell a fridge to an Eskimo! The simple question which many here in Kumekucha dare not answer is why their hero PLO was busy partying with suspects he was already investigating.
Mbarire has just unleashed a big bombshell (check nation.co.ke) that she and her husband met PLO about 8 times, yes you read that right, EIGHT times.. in fund raising, parties etc and also in his posh Runda mansion.
PLO refused to take 100k donation for his harambee in cheque since it was in the name of a company he was investigating and opted for raw cash which Mbarire's husband duly handed, (Was the cash possibly stuffed in a brown envelope? The minister didn't explain!)
Greedy PLO had even invited them to his Bondo home for another harambee! What does this great fraud has to show for his 2.5M per month salary which is paid for by the poor tax payers?
What has he done about the big fish in Anglo Fleecing, Goldenberg, Grand Regency, De La Rue, Free Education, Maize scandal, oil scandal, CDF....list just too long. Hata afadhali Ringera 10 times.
At least Ringera was honest and told Kenyans if they wanted corruption to end, they had to result to prayers. Honestly, maybe that's what we should do, send them all home as Mwarangethe says, then let's all face Mt Kenya and say those prayers.
"At least Ringera was honest and told Kenyans if they wanted corruption to end, they had to result to prayers."

NO, NO.
Not even Prayers to the Divine can save Kenya now.
From our so called democracy which is FAKE, we will move to:
(ii) SOCIALISM as a means of holding back the social eruption.
If you doubt, check the new constitution which is full of State must provide ugali, girlfriends, WIVES, HUSBANDS, this and that etc.
From socialism, we will move to:
(ii) disintegration.
From disintegration, we shall move to:
(iii) anarchy, i.e. back to our tribal formations.
We would say that, we are there already.
Therefore, make sure your grand kids know your tribal language for the other only way of holding this TITANIC is by going the North Korean way, i.e. TOTAL STATE.
The question is, will Kikuyu's, Kalenjins, Luos, etc co - exist in a TOTAL STATE? We doubt.
Anyway, we are back to listen to:
This morning I woke up in a curfew;
O God, I was a prisoner, too,
Could not recognize the faces standing over me,
They were all DRESSED IN UNIFORMS OF BRUTALITY,

President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga have nominated Agnes Odhiambo and Edward Ouko as Controller of Budget and Auditor General respectively
ReplyDelete...................................
Does it mean only one region in Kenya can produce these two important positions???
pooleezeee
there goes the new constitution being shafted by these octogenarian leaders joined at the hips.
Chris,
ReplyDeleteYet again President Kibaki has betrayed one of his loyal supporters Betty Murungi.wasn't she was touted for nomination as the next AG? now we have Githu Muigai isn't he Amos Wako repackaged?
@ 8/23/11 8:06 AM
ReplyDeleteBetty Murungi has never been a kibaki supporter as a matter of fact she is married to one james Orengo, thus if she has been shafted, it is by one, raila odinga but then again whats new?
