Bold Bensouda Shames Devil, Calls Aspirants Bluff

Special Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda did not disappoint in her maiden tourist voyage to the country..

Following a warm reception, the black liberator of Kenyan impunity set a different tone to her visit by refusing to follow in her predecessor's footsteps. Instead of adopting Kenya's world famous wildlife, the Gambian native choose instead to skilfully tighten the noose already hanging tightly over the neck of Kenyan masters of impunity

The dark skinned Bensouda has ably measured up to the calling of her office by skilfully juggling between rounds of diplomacy with the President,PM,CJ,AG, DPP,P.C.,and Director of Witness Protection tactfully thanking all for supporting her candidature as ICC Prosecutor while shamelessly sharpening the Hague guillotine reminding the 3 arms of Government of their culpability in failing for 5 years to set up a local tribunal mechanism to bring the perpetrators of the post-election violence to justice

In one fell swoop the African Prosecutor tactfully called Presidential aspirant's bluff at the same time dealing a blow to their faint hearted apologists by wisely indicating she is not against any ethnic community thereby leaving none in doubt that the Kenyan tribal stereotype does not play a role in the facts stacked against PEV suspects

Fatou Bensouda may not be everybody's hero but the West African born ICC successor has proven she competently carries the baton handed down to her by predecessor Argentinian Ocampo in the tradition of wielding the blind double edge sword without fear or favor. All sectors of Kenyan society can continue to sleep easy at night knowing that the painful journey to end Kenya's cancer of impunity is finally drawing to a close NA BADO

No Biometric Voter Registration, Manual Chaos

Something nasty is cooking with regard to preparations for next year's elections. It is less than five months to the landmark polls and the Ahmed Ishaak-led IEBC appears ill prepared for its principal task.

It looks like we never learned any lessons from the near-Armageddon of 2007. The preparations for the next elections is so sloppy so much so that one shudders to imagine a repeat performance that will see dead Kenyans vote and polling stations registering 150% voting.

But the problem is clervely engineered to fail spectarcular. Look no further than the very Goverment. There is more to acquisition of the biometric voter registration equipment.

First the incompetent Government agrees a deal with Canada to secure BVR. Canada then liaises with a French firm to procure the same. But the French firm is now demanding full payment before delivering a single BVR unit despite part-payment.

IEBC also exposed its incompetence when it failed to pass any tendering for BVR thanks to vested interests waiting in the wings for massive kickbacks. Well, the more things change the more they remain the same and even deteriorate.

One thing is certain, the next elections is going to be more chaotic than any other before it. And the consequences are so grim one is better off not even imagining.

Make no mistake, this is no happenstance. The real owners of Kenya need chaos to thrive and advance their selfish interests at our colective expense. And you know what, the Kenyan voter has his/her back bent already to offer them a ride.

The vested interests seconded to IEBC are on a mission to make sure the institution fails. You see, an effective IEBC will deny the power barons the ability to control and dictate matters. They won't allow that to happen. And the joke is on us. NA BADO.
