got this from a friend It is no secret that for a collective total of nearly 30 consecutive years, Moi and Kibaki have placed Kenyan public assets on Sale, literally at throw-away prices, to their kin, personal companies, and friends (locally and abroad).
Sometimes, the fortitude and patriotism shown by forthright Kenyans have succeeded in stalling their bid to throw away our public assets for a song, and in other instances , we have failed to stop their discounted give-away of national jewels - through their use of state machinery including a corrupted parliament.
History repeats itself in quite interesting ways.
We can remember how the Kenyan public lost its 49% stake at Firestone EA (held under the state corporation ICDC) to one scrupulous "enterpreneur" called Naushad Merali and his so called Sameer Investments company in 1995.
In 1995 Moi ordered the now defunct PRC (Parastatals Reform Committee) to recommend that ICDC offloads its49% Firestone shares at the NSE. That was just a gimmick because according to the Auditor General, Corporations 1996 report,.... Naushad Merali and his Sameer group got pre-emptive rights and bought all those shares for sh 100 million. (for source see below)
Their true value according to the Auditor general was Sh 500 million ( gross undervaluing). BUT WAIT A MINUTE. Three years down the line in 1999, the same shares were re-floated and sold at the NSE for sh 1.5 Billion. Merali made a 1500% profit in 3 years. Merali's genius here is the genius of grabbing and looting since he could have still made profit by buying the shares at their regular value.
Merali's Sameer then used the money to buy East African Cables from a British Holding company in 2000 for sh 110 million when Moi refused KPLC & KenGen from buying the British company's electric cables (economic sabotage). EA Cables true value at the time was sh 274 million.
FAST FORWARD to 2003. The first acquisition by Kibaki and his cronies at Trans-Century was the purchase of East African Cables from Merali. Kibaki had by then simultaneously appointed Trans-Century's god father Eddy Njoroge as KenGen's Managing Director (overt & unveiled conflict of interest). The rest is history,.......you know how EA Cables & KenGen are performing at the NSE.
Track down the business interests of Trans-century and you will see the Sharks, Homeguards and Sultans partitioning and selling Kenya under the guise of privatization.
In the twilight months of Moi's Presidency, just before Kibaki came to power, Moi had a rush to dispose off ( sell for ten pieces of silver) Kenyan public assets in a frenzy that astounded many. In the twinkle of an eye, Kenya-Re and Telkom shares were being offered for sale at exorbitantly discounted rates.
The disposal of these Kenyan public assets was riddled with overt corruption mainly through gross undervaluing of the entities. Coincidentally, at the epicenter of the privatization exercise in the late 90s, early 2000s was Nicholas Biwott's daughter, Ms. Esther Koimett, the then Investment Secretary -whom Kibaki found prudent to serve as Kenya's new Investment Secretary thanks to his renewed political dalliance with Nicholas Biwott.
In 2000/1 Esther Koimet almost facilitated the sale of Kenya-Re ( a public asset) to Zim-Re (of Zimbabwe ) in partnership with Monarch Insurance (owned by Gide

This is copied from Mashada.
That's what it boils down to. Another referendum vote between the Kenyan patriots vs the Kikuyu tribalists. 41-1, or 8-1, or raw numbers, we'll beat their a.ss by over 1 million votes. Keep preaching this to all good willing Kenyans. Kikuyu ni adui. define the enemy as Kikuyu, Isolate the enemy. caricature the enemy as tribalist,corrupt, robbers. Remind the voters of the referendum, remind the skeptics about Moi's loots, Uhuru land grabbing in R.Valley and Coast.
Here's the strategy per province. COAST: 1. Majimbo- tell them how Kikuyus are against majimbo so that they can continue grabbing their land. 2. Depict Kibaki as anti-Muslims and backing the US and Ethiopians efforts to harrass all peace-loving Muslims.
R.VALLEY: 1. Remind voters how Kibaki fired most Kalenjin sons and daughters after coming to power. 2. Remind them how Kikuyus grabbed their prime land while kicking them from their ancestral land. 3. Tell them how Moi, Biwott and Saitoti are wasaliti who only care about protecting their ill-gotten wealth than fighting for their constituenst rights.
WESTERN: 1. Tell them how Kibaki promised Wamalwa that he would serve only one term and relinquish to a mluhya. 2. Use that Masinde prophesy to get support of the Bukusus. 3. Tell them that Kibaki's succession plan is full of Kikuyus like Uhuru,Saitoti while Moody has no chance.
EASTERN: 1. Tell them that a vote for Kalonzo is a wasted vote 2. Remind them how Kikuyus wanawatusi as people who eat dogs. 3. Remind them how Michuki showed contemt for their women
Nyanza, NothEastern dont need any convincing, Nairobians are smart enough to know what's best for them.

Joe says:
Some posts are tooooooooo long... They are vexing from a cursory look even! No one is ready to search 4 the devil in the details. Kip it brief please! I think the system admin should impose a Max length for posts such that validation truncates text exceeding the MaxLength. He can use the following code block as a reference:
long max_length; //length of post allowed string will_post_this; //if contravened what do we post?
max_length = 1000; //set maxlength to 1000 If len(mle_post_material.text)> max_length //contravened! //Get only text up to the allowed length and truncate the rest! will_post_this=left(mle_post_material.text,max_length) this.save(will_post_this) //Save allowed text! end if
Key: // Denotes comments. In programming, comments are never executed by the compiler. They are just for informing the programmer on what is happening in a particular code block or LOC - Line of code!

"even Kalembe is better than Moi" is one of the quotes in one of the obove postings. Is Kalembe the marking scheme for the useless. Kalembe is a good leader.I have personally experienced the leadership of Kalembe and Kivutha and my conclusion is that Kalembe is far much a good leader than Kivutha. Let's not condemn the man cos of his low academic achievement.

No one is condemning him. He serves his role as an in house comedian very well. He plus that other Bifwoli guy are born artists. What happened to the car that Kalembe had given up as a raffle prize for some borehole project?

Raila is just but a president waiting to be sworn in come December and i really do pray for him because he has really done the job of the opposition very perfectly i.e. kept the government on its toes and thus if elected president definately he will put more development and even convert the country to a working system.

Ndangili, this isn't Karanja's creativity. Seems you don't follow the mudslinging-kind politics za MPU, sorry PNU. The unpalatable analogy was given during Baks campaign launch by this big-mouth KANU delegate from coast.
Karanja, do you honestly believe that ODM is towing a monkey to the market, and PNU a goat? I think that is an illusion, what you would like to be the case as opposed to what your conscience believe.

Karanja says:
4WAD 4WAD MUST READ,YOUR PRESIDENT 31.12.2007 IS HERE
My prediction for 2007 presidential election Let me from the outset say that I believe in the steadman polls. I said it during the referendum, when Kibaki was leading and even today. Having said that, these polls don't give the whole story and the reason is simple.
In the USA, as I said here a while ago, a candidate has to win a majority of the 538 electoral college votes (270) to be declared president. HE doesn't need to win the popular vote as is the case with Al Gore in 2000. He won the popular vote by 500,000 but a few days ago, he won an even bigger prize.
IN Kenya, you need to win 25% of 5/8 of all the provinces alongside the popular vote.
What has baffled ODm according to these steadman polls is that Kibaki had 25% in 7/8 of all the provinces with th eexclusion of Nyanza of course.
Back to my prediction. This election will be VERY CLOSE NO MATTER WHO WINS.
To begin with, I'll make three assumptions which will set the context in which the elections will be held;
1. Kalonzo joins ODM. Kibaki's goose is cooked.....political goose that is. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE AND WILL NOT HAPPEN.
2. Kalonzo joins PNU. Whereas this is probable, it is not possible but were it to happen, Kibaki wins.
3. Things remain the way they are. THIS IS THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO.
So, what happens then?
In 2002, the turnout was about 56%. There were 10 million registered voters and about 5.6 million valid votes cast.
According to the ECK, there are 14.2 registered voters today. ASsuming that there'll be a heavy turnout, let's say 70%, and further assuming that all votes will be valid, there'll be about 10 million votes for the three presidential candidates.
Let me also say something else. KEnya's voting is tribal. IT is just true and my prediction will have some of this tribal nonsense because that is how we vote. ================================================== ======= Here we go: I'll begin by giving a prediction of each candidates base and then work outwords.
Raila Odinga has the LUOs, Kalonzo has the KAMBAS and Kibaki has GEMA.
Raila will get about 1.5 million Luo votes.
Kalonzo will get 850,000 Kamba votes.
Kibaki will get 3 million GEMA votes but I'll be conservative and give him 2.5 million.
Out of a total of 10 million total votes, they amass 4.85 million votes from their tribesmen leaving 5.15 million votes. These are the votes that make Kibaki and Raila wear the fez and Kanzus while wooing voters. Don't getme wrong, i know there are also GEMA, Luo and Kamba muslims too but do I say.
Out of 5.15 million votes, other presidential candidates among them Muiru get 0.15 million votes leaving exactly 5 million votes to be vied for.
EVen before dissolving parliament, Kibaki has 25% of the total votes in the bag. "Ain't that something?"
The 5 million votes from places other than their own bases will go like this:
Kalonzo will get 700,000.
KALONZOs TOTAL PRESIDENTIAL VOTES WILL AMOUNT TO 1.55 MILLION VOTES or 15.5% of total votes cast.
That leaves 4.3 million votes for Raila and Kibaki.
IN other words, Raila and Kibaki are running for 4.3 million votes while at the same time;
1. maintaining their stronghold votes and 2. Turning out their kinsmen in droves to go vote.
To use the latest steadman polls, I'll give Raila 53% of the total votes. Infact, I'll be generous and give him 60% of the non GEMA, non Luo and

Karanja, i like your analysis. i realy do. however, you seem to me like those street analysts who only view what they want to see. tembea Kenya ndugu yangu. nchi ni kubwa. and oh, Kenya is more than Jang'os, Kyuks and Kaos. much bigger!
|
|
Margaret says:
@Philip, whatever Wainaina has indicated makes sense, and his statistics, though cannot be entirely right, but it makes sense to me. You need not go all over the world to know who will vote for who, the issue is secretive and thats why tis called a secret ballot, I may cheat you of the candidate I want to vote for coz I dont want siasa but the true feelings for Kenyans over their desired presidential candidate will be reflected clearly after the votes have been counted. So lets cast our votes and wait...

Kenya elections set for Dec 27 By JEFF OTIENO Last updated: 1 hour ago
Kenya’s elections have now been set for December 27 as a new opinion poll released today showed that the presidential race was getting tougher.
The Electoral Commission released the election calendar in Nairobi today, setting the polling for two days after Christmas while the presidential candidates will be expected to present their nomination papers between November 14-15.
Parliamentary and civic candidates will present their papers between October 23-24.
The election date was made public only one hour after the latest opinion poll by Steadman Group showed ODM’s Raila Odinga maintaining his lead in the presidential race but dropping three points over the last two weeks.
Results gives Mr Odinga 50 per cent, President Kibaki (39 per cent) and ODM-Kenya’s Kalonzo Musyoka (8 per cent). The ODM candidate has dropped three points from the last rating by the same pollster two weeks ago when he managed 53 per cent.
President Kibaki gained two points over the same period to narrow the gap between him and Mr Odinga to 11 per cent.
ODM-Kenya’s Mr Musyoka has maintained the eight per cent rating in the last three polls by the same group.
The poll conducted between October 20 and 23, interviewed 2,718 eligible voters with the sample being drawn from all districts.
However, the pollsters attributed the latest outcome to the fluidity of the Kenyan politics adding that the numbers were bound to shift before the elections day.
Steadman’s political researcher, Dr Tom Wolf described the latest changes in results as minimal and within the margin of error of plus-or-minus 1.8 per cent.

Ngilu and I call him AFRICA'S SECOND MANDELA
Meanwhile, Baks has done it again. For the second time the outgoing Kenyan prezzo has dishonoured yet another "gentleman's agreement". First it was the MOU and now the 1997 IPPG agreement. It is noteworthy that in both cases, the man from Othaya was a great beneficiary, only to trash them afterwards. This undoubtedly confirms my perception of the DUDE - NO GENTLEMAN, GREATEST OPPORTUNIST, UNTRUSTWORTHY, THANKLESS, ......etc etc...

A young friend of mine, last week went to pee in one of the busy pubs in town. Three big ODM guys came, shoved him aside and told him " Songa kando, Serikali nataka kukojoa"! (Move over, the govt wants to pee)
Any other incidences to report out there?

Philip says:
'And, the ODM supporters have started misbehaving and losing Raila votes....'
Wainaina, i always get the impression you either don't travel/socialize much outside of your comfort zone. it is Kibaki's supporters who are repelling swing votes. you meet one, topic changes to politics, you mention you support ODM then it all starts; Raila blah, Raila bleh, Raila blih, ..... !!! on the other hand, most times i pose as a PNU supporter in such a discussion, ODM guys/chiqs take me head-on on what their presidential candidate is proposing without bleeting Baks'name after every minute! actually someone pointed out in this forum that while most Raila supporters have been busy selling their candidate, their PNU counterparts have simply been outdoing each other in making a 'tiger' out of the mere mortal that is Raila!
ps. have you guys noticed that actually one of the most refreshing things in this election is the way Jang'os have generally become silent? apart from a few cases, the famous JJ arrogance is at an all time low. even their MPs are quiete!!!! (when is the last time that irritant Kajwang appeared on TV?)

Lyn', I didn't imagine that you too are another one of the ardent Raila haters......
Karanja, Raila may be a Kabuga, an Amin etc to you now, but one thing you cannot deny without batting an eyelid is that the same guy(read Raila) was a 'Njamba' and a 'true nationalist' to the same you in 2003. Where and when exactly did he stop being one? Were those big titles applicable only as long as he supported Baks?
Wainaish, I believe that Phillo has already pumped enough sense in your head, however, I want to add that most reasonable people do learn from their mistakes and from history.... Thats why the Kisiis have decided this time round to look outside the box and to join forces with the kenyan masses(PETER can attest to this). The only people who have adamantly refused to learn even from the recent 2005 referendum humiliation are a majority mt. Kenya region guys led by you.

sammy says:
Raila has been consistent about one thing: his hunger for power. This should not be confused with struggle for the country or for the people of Kenya . Raila has never told us how he plans to use power to better our lives. All Raila is doing now is to make all manner of promises to everyone. Here are some of them:
a. Constitution within 6 months
b. Make Ruto Executive prime minister within 6 months
c. Majimbo
d. Free primary and secondary education
e. 13% economic growth (he promises double the current growth rate)
f. Reduce taxes
g. Make Mombasa a free port like Dubai
h. Dual carriage way roads throughout Kenya
i. Free housing for slum dwellers
j. Employment for all
k. Eradication of poverty
|
|
Peter says:
Employment for all is not practical,let him talk about reducing the number of unemployed by creating more jobs to absorb them.
And
Poverty is relative and can only be reduced not eradicated.
Let's be realistic and not expect Kenya to change miraculously.Even miracles have an element of nature.
We need achievable promises.

Vincent, U seem to be working very hard to brainwash Yn', U may never understand how big Mandiba is, if u can compare him to Raila.

Vin' yours is an interesting reading....most if not all of our current lot of politicians are power hungry people who are only after one thing...POWER.Hence the political prostitution.I did not mention any names.I am just surprised of how highly you think of Ngilu.I once voted for her because I thought she was different but well she is in the same legue with the rest.She is also guilty of it.That is a weakness with our leaders and our problem is that we keep re-electing them every general election.Ngilu or any other politician can sing praises to whoever she wants because she thinks the cake is hot ..but we should not be so blind to sing the same chorus with them. As for congratulating Karanja.... ,I just said I liked his disclaimer,''This opinion is Karanjas and graduate.com or any other person living or dead who feels offended should come and laugh with me on the evening of December 27 2007.''
....Raila is not mentioned anywhere on it....C'mon people why are we becoming so phobic .....???

ODM STATEMENT ON STANCHART MARATHON
ODM regrets to see that tribalism and rigging has found its way into sports The just concluded stanchart marathon is a case in point. Kenyans want to know since when Njoroge's of this world could win such races. Steadman polls conducted exhaustively before the race showed that the favourite was kip(keino,koech,ruto,choge,tanui etc. ODM'S pentagon has reliably established that the winner Mr. Njoroge is actually a registered voter in starehe constituency and has been spotted in various PNU rallies.
The connection between the winner and the spots minister Mr. kamanda is clear for all to see. This amounts to voter bribery, race rigging and blatant tribalism. ODM will not condone such. We will match to Kasarani today in protest. In the meantime, we have dispatched HON Ochilo Ayako to present our grievances to IAAF. We would like this organisation to take stern action against the Njoroge's of this world and slap a five year ban on them. We also wish to have all gold medals won by Douglas wakihuri, Catherine ndereba, John ngugi, etc withdrawn because their selection and inclusion into the Kenyan team since 1985 ( 3 years after the coup detat had been done without consulting the current members of Pentagon. Until this issue is resolved by the international athletics community and all our demands met, an ODM government will ban all international athletics engagement by kenya in the next five years.
We also appeal to the standard chartered bank not to honour the 1.5 million cheque issued to Mr. Njoroge. Failure to do this will result in future stern action ( beginning 2008) in which the bank will join Equity bank in having all its operations limited to only within 10 km radius of Othaya town.

Aaaaaa......h!!!!
@Wainaina "Is there a chance in hell that he can win?"
Why is he vying in hell?

Peter says:
Is this the kind of a person Rarienda has been having in parliament?
Below are extracts from the cutting edge(Daily Nation,7/11/07)
(a) Foreign Affairs minister Raphael Tuju’s call on the relatives of critically ill people to ensure they come out and vote before going back to their hospital beds is the best proof so far that politicians are selfish at heart and care little about the plight of their voters, remarks Tezira Lore. Says she: “I was horrified to hear Tuju saying that even if they die, it won’t really matter because their votes will be secure in the ballot box. What a shame!” (b) Also angered by Tuju’s remark is Ruth Gituma. Says she: “While we all need to come out in large numbers and exercise our right to vote in this year’s elections, I find Minister Tuju’s statement calling on all patients on drips to come out and vote and then go and die in really bad taste. These leaders should tame their tongues.”

I find nothing bad to that, its everyones right to vote either odm, odm Kenya or PNU. Even the sick are citizens too.

Patrick says:
then we have a perfect competition campaign!

Martin says:
Then they will not make news as when it comes out from Tuju.
|

sammy says:
Failing to vote will not prevent the hand of death claiming some voter, so it is better to vote when you are alive even when you have one second to live. Your vote counts when in the ballot box but not when in the coffin. Tuju was right.
Kenyans still fear mentioning the word snake at night or even pointing at the rainbow!!!!!!he he he he......

Whenever I write procedures and manuals, I am always required to state references which I treat as sources of mis- and/ or information. Initially I thought it was a trick to show how original I was not. It later dawned on me that kenyans or humankind never like reading other people's writings. it isn't becausue they can write or copy better but they're just lazy and simply critical.
The piece of copy-paste up here required some common sense and it was pasted where it belongs. If I were clever, I would request the paster to also include the names of Gema in public positions. However, I fear reading and visiting the respective websites for reference.
The big issue is that the allocations are not proportionate in that for every appointment to a key ministry, there is an equal number of Gema hidden there. That does not make Kibaki tribal but rather administrative. Why cause for himself problems when Raila is there? I would do the same. What would you do? He has actually perfected what moi and kenyatta tried and failed.

AGWAMBO/KIBAKI
Hi all,
A friend sent me this and i thought i should share. We can keep this title for pure electoral politics.
WE DO NOT WORSHIP RAILA BUT WE LIKE HIS RESUME!
- Do I support Raila?-YES
- Am I a Luo?-NO
- Is Raila a visionary leader?-YES
- Is Raila a god?-NO
- Are there many supporting Raila just because he is a Luo?-YES
- Are there many against Raila just because he is a Luo?-YES
- Is Raila the answer to all the Kenyan Problems?-NO
- Can Raila help lead Kenya towards justice and prosperity for
all?-YES
- Is Raila better than Kibaki?-YET TO BE DETERMINED (but, I believe
so?)
- Is Raila better than Moi?-YES-anybody is better than Moi, even
Kalembe Ndile is better than Moi!!!
- Has Raila proven himself as a freedom fighter, astute politician,
and
a capable leader, qualified to lead Kenya?-ABSOLUTELY YES
Although some of the questions and answers above may seem silly and
pedestrian, they are meant to show that some of us are objective
supporters
of a Raila presidency! We are not just some dogged loyalists driven by
irrational euphoria galvanized in inveterate tribalism! NO! You must
understand that some of us are the same patriotic Kenyans who survived
Moi
and feverishly supported Kibaki in the last elections. So, we are not
just
some ignorant worshippers kneeling relentlessly at the Raila shrine. We
have valid reasons-motivated by patriotism, Kenyan pride and dear love
for
country.
Despite the overwhelming tribal influence, which stifles and precludes
progressive national politics in Kenya, some of us appreciate Raila
Odinga
because we have the ability to separate the patriot from the
politician-it
is not that difficulty! Firstly, most Kenyans know what the man has
been
through. Raila has been fighting for better governance, political
suffrage,
and justice for all Kenyans before it was fashionable to do so! The man
lost many years in detention while the rest of us sat by and allowed
Moi
and his cronies to cast him as a radical determined to ruin Kenya. As
Raila
languished in jail, most of us, including some of the current
politicians,
continued to support Moi who did everything in his power to tribalize,
impoverish, plunder, and corrupt our dear country.
Secondly, Kibaki would never have been president if it wasn't for
Raila! It
was Raila who destroyed Moi's dreams of a Uhuru Kenyatta presidency in
the
last elections. Whereas the other politicians remained in total
disarray as
Moi impetuously imposed Uhuru on the people, Raila took charge. Raila
formed a rebellious coalition within KANU and delivered a severe blow
to
Moi. Moreover, he handed the Kenyan presidency to Kibaki on a silver
platter. He crisscrossed the country popularizing and campaigning for
Kibaki. Even in Central province, Kikuyu men and women were singing
Rila
praises to the effect of *"Raila ni Jamba!"-*Raila is a warrior! Let's
not
forget that Luos, Kambas, Kalenjins, Luhyas, and many others voted for
Kibaki because of Raila. It was their belief in Raila-the man, the
patriot,
the freedom fighter, the visionary, which gave value to a Kibaki
presidency.
Thirdly, there is no doubt that the present Kenyan constitution is
lacking!
It is foolish to assume that any country can deliver to the citizenry
when
the supreme law of the land is flawed and ineffective. Progressive
minded
Kenyan's appreciate this simple fact. They p
