Mugoya Construction: The Sensational Comeback That Stinks

Remember Mugoya Constrution? Remember the numerous cases the company faced and even court appearances of the proprietor, Ugandan James Isabirye both in Kenya and his home country of Uganda?

Mugoya construction was also mentioned in the Kroll report and everybody knows how political connections and kick-backs were used to great effect to help the company look like it was the only construction company in Kenya at the height of the Moi era. In those days you just had to name any major project and Mugoya’s tentacles were sure to be there.

Now this house of evil has made a sensational comeback under the watch of the grand coalition government which some naïve Kenyans believe is clean because certain individuals whom they worship are in it.

A quick question for you. Why should a foreigner dominate construction projects in Kenya? Are there no qualified Kenyan companies? Or do we also have a Kenyan construction company dominating things in Uganda?

Let me take this opportunity to announce to Kenyans that Kibaki’s first government was much better and the corruption currently going on is making that administration even with Anglo Lasing hanging over it) look as clean as a Sunday school class. Folks, what is currently going on is a feeding frenzy. Most of your beloved politicians in the grand coalition government are very busy building war chests for the next general elections. They are in a terrible hurry because nobody believes that the next elections will be in 2012. Everybody knows that they will happen much earlier.

The amazing resurrection of Mugoya construction should tell Kenyans a lot. There is no doubt that it is linked to 2012 and the war chests being put together.

My sources tell me that Mugoya is involved in the Nairobi-Mombasa road project. Yes that major highway in Kenya that never seems to be completed although there is some semblance of work going on and construction is so slow that tourists have to shake their guts vigorously when going to Mombasa by road. Mugoya was squeezed into the project under very mysterious circumstances because another company has always been and still is the main contractor. Sources on the ground say that the company is building bus stops and taking care of other “special features” on the road. Wow!!!

I am also informed (and I am verifying this information) that Mugoya is very heavily involved in some hefty contracts in the Prisons department. In fact I am told that Mugoya are heavily hiring (casuals) at the moment. What all this means is that it is now business as usual at Mugoya.

How did this happen under the nose of the grand coalition government? I mean Kenyans are already reeling under the extremely heavy weight of supporting this bloated government and then these chaps are adding insult to injury with their corrupt ways. Where is the Prime Minister? Is there anybody who can stop the feeding frenzy currently going on and clearly illustrated by the return from the grave of Mugoya construction?

Waki Shames the Devil, Starts War on Impunity

Justice Waki has proved being Kenyan and having his fingers on the country’s pulse. While Kriegler skirted around the causes post election violence, Waki and his commissioners have not only named names but let a noose hanging precariously over the present kings of impunity.

At the heart of Waki’s recommendations is the resolve to address IMPUNITY as epitomized by Kibaki’s regime. Faint hearted Kibaki’s political apologists may not like it but reading Waki’s report leaves no doubt Kibaki is singularly to blame for his singular resolve to concentrate on bungling last year’s elections having known before hand the outcome.

That anything premised on DECEPTION is eternally unsustainable couldn't have proved more true. No amount of serial and shameless propaganda that Kibaki's cronies crafted to dovetail into tribal stereotypes will wash. The facts are stack and Waki has tactfully given Kibaki the leeway owing to FRAUDULENT incumbency to clear his act for a better Kenya.

The Hague option was Kibaki to fail in setting up a tribunal to try and punish IMPUNITY is not an empty threat. With daring Hague prosecutor Ocampo Moreno breathing fire on neighboring Bashir, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Waki has expertly managed to juggle diplomacy in calling his appointing authority bluff without loosing sight and fidelity with the truth.

No more gimmicks
Waki has measured up to the calling and expectation in telling the king he is nude and not immaculately dressed as his cronies would want him to believe. But don’t count your chicks yet given Kenya’s reputation to defend the impossible. Soon we won’t be surprised when PNU troops start trumpeting Waki’s report as revenge act to his dismissal from the bench on corruption allegation which he successfully challenged before being reinstated.

Whatever the gimmicks, Waki has started the guillotining machine rolling downhill and beckoning our masters of impunity. By indicting our security agencies for their role in murdering people they are employed to protect, Waki has left no doubt where the buck stops.

Waki’s verdict disabuses us of the hitherto penchant to embrace anything from outside especially from the so-called whites. The die is cast and the reign of impunity is speedily hurtling to unceremonious and shameful demise thanks to Waki’s selflessness.

Time is ticking and soon there will be no corners (commissions) to cut. Waki's commission is like no other and the circumstances have dramatically changed. The cumulative wages of national sin is simply incalculable but somebody must pay. It only remains a matter of when and not if.
