Police Kill for Sport: Failing State in Militant Denial

 The mindset of a criminal is often betrayed by the plastic demenour and careless speech.

Cabinet Nkaissery's bragging about no lack of teargas and belittling police vetting was the hallmark of a clueless regime headed by a dynamic clueless duo.

It takes a superlative airhead to claim that we cannot have civilians commanding uniformed people. Well, Nkaiserry's worldview seems restricted to Kajiado Central and even Nairobi mesmerises him leave alone such civilian oversight bodies like the Independent Police Complaints commission (IPCC) in the UK.

Superlative airhead

The CS is living in his military head where every Kenyan must submit to his afande shouts.

But make no mistake where the rot lies. The loud silence from the dynamic clueless duo speaks volumes of where their hearts desire in abetting brutality to cow and intimidate opponents.

And the cops know it after a thumbs up following battering to pulp peacefully demonstrating Kenyan to please their bosses.

Forget the fact that vetting of police by the National Police Service Commission is a constitutional requirement aimed at weeding out the corrupt, violent, and incompetent members from the force.

Nkaiserry would rather please the officially armed criminals lest they expose the executive rot from the top.


Just like top civil servants saw the opportunity to rape Kenya's coffers when all the government machinery and resources were singulary trained on defeating ICC at The Hague, the cops know the acute dearth of moral authority from the top to question their murdering spree.

Regime apologists

John Michuki may be dead but his legacy to support police killing and maiming lives on. The twin latest episodes witnessed in the crude brutality meted out to peaceful anti-IEBC protestors and spiced last week by the seizure and subsequent horrific torture and murder of lawyer Willie Kimani together with his driver and a client are just tips of a massive iceberg.

Regime apologists may continue firing from all cylinders protecting the rotten House but soon the brutality and incompetence will affect and infect them to open their eyes to reality of our steady and briskly walk to abyss shepharded by the clueless dynamic duo.

OLE WETU.

Ababu-led PAC was a ruthless blackmail and extortionist organization

The Parliamentary Accounts Committee (PAC) is responsible for the examination of the accounts showing the appropriations of the sum voted by the House to meet the public expenditure and of such other accounts laid before the House.

By the very nature of its role as the public spending watchdog, PAC is one of the most significant and powerful Committees in parliament, since it has a critical role to play in ensuring that there is accountability and transparency in the way Government agencies allocate, spend and manage their finances and also more importantly, in guaranteeing that the taxpayer receives value for money for every shilling spent.

At the start of the 11th Parliament in 2013, Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba was given the mantle and trusted with heading this crucial committee by the official opposition. Unbeknown to us all, this marked the start of what would be the biggest scandal in the history of parliament in Kenya. The failure was spectacular and embarrassing!

After traveling the world for close to two years collecting sitting and traveling allowances amounting to millions of shillings, that included all-expenses paid business class investigative trips, some of which he tagged his beloved wife along, Hon Namwamba and his committee did not table a single report to justify its mandate.

Instead, an internal probe exposed Ababu’s PAC as deeply corrupt. The verdict was direct and damning. It found the PAC members had acted dishonestly and corruptly. PAC had dealt unprecedented damage to their work and undermined public trust and confidence ... having conspired to extort what were in substance bribes from the institutions they were supposed to investigate through systematic acts of blackmail.

Parliament unanimously agreed with the Powers and Privileges Committee and adopted its investigative report into the dirty affairs of PAC leading to the premature disbandment of the Ababu-led PAC which is one of the House’s most important oversight committees. The disgraced PAC members were ordered to apologise to the rest of the House and barred from the new PAC.

The specific five members of the old one that were debarred were its chairman Ababu Namwamba (Budalang’i, ODM), Ahmed Abass (Ijara, ODM), James Bett (Kesses, URP), Omondi Anyanga (Nyatike, ODM) and Cecily Mbarire (Runyenjes, TNA). Under normal circumstances, they were supposed to face criminal charges in an anti-corruption court. They did not.

Hon Namwamba’s team became the first watchdog committee to be disbanded on allegations of corruption in the 53 year old history of the Kenyan Parliament.

In their paid “working” holidays overseas, the disgraced and debarred Chairman Ababu Namwamba and his team forgot that PAC signifies one of the essential constituents of Parliamentary watchdogs which is the culpability of Public money.

They instead used their positions to extort money from suppliers and other organizations that they were investigating. This is information is not something that is made up. It is in fact recorded in the hansard as actual events. If there was anything that ever exposed Ababu as a fraud, the dissolution of the PAC was it. It is time some people got off their high horses.

Despite of the enormity of the scandal, the ODM and its leadership stood by its beleaguered Bundalangi MP. As if that was not enough, Ababu went ahead made a brazen secret recording of his private meetings with the Party Leader who has always defended him.
