Back then in 1963, was Kenya a sham from the beginning?


     The Kenyan political narrative that often leaves me speechless each time its reviewed. The love story of forty-two tribes that would leave one in tears each time. On Independence Day, we sent away the British but remained with the problems instead of flying them out to Britain at the first chance. Our hearts go out to those men and women, both local and foreign that helped Kenya achieve independence status. Kenyan has covered a very short distance in fifty years and we have quite a number of individuals to thank for this. Kenyans payed the ultimate price which involved the loss of lives from all 42 tribes and foreign lives.

All this with a common goal entrusted to one-man Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. Hopes and dreams of a nation were born that day, better schools, healthcare, infrastructure, security and improved standards of living were promised on that day. Are those not the same evolving speeches associated with the Kenyan political scene to date? Were Kenyans duped on Independence Day itself?

        Do we celebrate a lie every year in the name of Jamuhuri and Madaraka day? Are we really that united as we think?  Its striking to think that your grandparents were duped. What was stolen was your parent’s opportunity at a better life. Now they want to con you the Youth out of a better life and that of your kids. The youth should come out strongly and stand with the truth, just as our ancestors before us. To come together or fall apart, its narrowed down to those two extremes with issues of cessation coming up in the recent past. It has gained popularity and seems like the most popular option.


  Money was issued to settle Kenyans after independence, however due to mismanagement of funds Mr. Jaramogi Odinga formed the opposition to act as a watchdog for the people. This was not taken lightly, lives were lost yet again and wrongful detainment like the British was implemented. Sadly, that done to a man who fought against wrongful detainment and rallied for the release of the president from Lodwar where he was detained. The legacy Mzee left was his photo on our currency, perennial land issues and poverty accompanied with lots of speeches and little to no action. Moi took away 24 years from Kenya. As sad as it is, we can’t recover those years but we have the right to preserve the future. To plan for a better and peaceful future together or apart. Uhuru Kenyatta in turn leaves an even worse taste to the name Kenyatta on most Kenyan’s mouths. Sky rocketing debts from various institutions to bogus over valued projects and undermining the will of the Kenyan people.

Dreams are meant to make people stronger and in focus, but it’s time we woke up from this Kenyan dream before it becomes a nightmare. We deserve better and without proper rules of engagement and respect, our destination shortens. Kenyan police bullying, raping and killing citizens who they are meant to protect. Whatever manual one uses for training these apes have proven not to work. They have no idea about police work and what it entails. Everything is just not working, it has never really worked from the start. Sadly, it took us fifty years to realize that we were heading the wrong way. Those who realized this earlier either lost their lives or got maimed and blackmailed out of that school of thought. The names of politicians that will never fade in history narrows each day. President or not, Songs of Raila Amollo Odinga will be written, children will be born and given his name, a public holiday will be put in his name. Sadly, when he is gone, just like Mandela he will bring the whole world to Kenya. Long live democracy.

Stick to your lane!"Raila is the greatest leader in the world",CNN says.


  This call to order comes as Raila Odinga is said to be the most influential and powerful leader in the whole world during a CNN interview.  Its general and healthy practice to encourage an individual to stick to their limits. This mostly applies to the disgraced Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto. The two join the list of politicians in Africa including Mugabe and Museveni who have fought hard and wide to undermine democracy. A lot comes to mind when lane is discussed, the two leaders who survived an ICC trial due to noncompliance and not cooperating with the prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, should hopefully find their way to the criminal court after being ousted from power.

       In an interview earlier with CNN, the deputy president failed to address the issue of vote turn out and manipulation of results. The interview was termed by the media house as not up to standard, an apology was issued and the video pulled down from their official YouTube channel. Raila Odinga in the headlines was said to arguably be the most powerful leader in the world. Raising the standards of living of Kenyans and politics is what this man Odinga does best. Seemingly after other unruly Kenyans soil our good name.



        Uhuru Kenyatta is one mistake that should not have come the Kenyan people’s way. His father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, our founding father is remembered for extra judicial killings, creating a land problem that only gets worse in Kenya with each passing day. His son leaves behind a legacy of death and oppression accompanied by a strong urge to sweep historical injustices under the carpet. Stealing an election and attempting to do it again.
         Deputy presidential hopeful Ruto on the other hand leaves a legacy of chaos, extra judicial killings and an outright sense of entitlement which makes him a poor conversationalist hence his dictatorship tendencies. If a leader is a mirror that reflects his people and an apple does not fall far from the tree are anything to go by, its true to say that their people might also have such characteristics. After fifty years of living together, Kenyans should know better.
     
Raila Odinga however will be remembered as the father of devolution and true democracy in Kenya, characterized by the rule of the people by the people for the people. His father before him, Jaramogi Odinga will be remembered for putting Kenyans and Kenya first when given a choice by the colonialists to rule this country. History will never forget the work done by any individual in nation building. People have a tendency of doing what comes natural to them. As displayed by both Uhuru and Ruto, their path, their way of thinking and hard wiring all lead to the wrong places. Mungiki’s should stick to what they do best which is stealing and creating chaos to land grabbing. Cattle rustlers should stick to their trade in order to avoid cholera in 5-star hotels in Kenya and disgracing the country at any opportunity. People who are known to make and mold a nation into its greatest form should also do what they do best.
       Hopefully, we look forward to the future. Where we will be mature enough to talk the truth, and laugh this out as one of the darkest times for our country and leadership. This is now officially the second regime after Moi that is hell bent on taking democracy to the slaughter.

Revealed , United States Increases Military Operation in Africa in bid to reduce terrorism

    Considering the fact that terrorists are a nightmare, add that to the beautiful mental picture of Mother Africa which does not just sit nor go together. Holding shadow wars in Africa and silently increasing military presence in the African continent. It is estimated that over 116 missions are carried out by special elite forces including the Navy Seals, Army Green Berets in Africa in a single day.
 This is a massive military operation being carried out by the united states on African soil. The details behind the operations are top secrete and its hard even imagining the human rights violations and brute force deployed through such operations. Considering how dangerous terrorists are known to be.
Also read: What did Trump do to the United States of America?
      In 2006, the number of US military personnel was one percent, this increased to three percent in 2010 and more than seventeen percent in 2016. A total of 1700 service men and women devoted to fighting extremism and terrorism in over twenty countries in Africa. Donald Bolduc, the US Army general running special operations command in Africa (SOCAFRICA) in 2016 wrote a report which was obtained by Vice News seeking clarification on the numbers. 
U.S Troops in Somalia 

       “Africa’s challenges could create a threat that surpasses the threat that the US currently faces from conflict in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria”
       He realized a long list of challenges facing the continent including expanding illegal networks, terrorist hide outs and attempts to diminish government authority. He also pointed out that terrorists are also receiving a steady flow of resources and increased radicalization and recruitment is also taking place. This makes it hard to smoke out the terrorists.
This means that there will be more US commandos in more places in Africa in order for Africa to move forward. Africans might see this as encroachment and declaration of war by the US, a claim that was addressed by SOCAFRICA through its general. This assertion is however challenged by its operations against Al-Shabaab in Somalia. They however operate in “grey zones” which are complex ungoverned areas of Somalia in order to combat terrorism.
        This might be a contributing factor to the decreased terrorism attacks in Kenya and Africa as a whole. With increased radicalization in the continent, worst hit being Nigeria and where Boko haram militants have shot at people in open markets in broad daylight and kidnapping school girls. The militants operate in the Lake Chad basin including Niger, Cameroon and Nigeria. The US has spent 156 million dollars in funding partners in order to neutralize mutual threats across the continent according to the SOCAFRICA report. Tactical assistance and provision of weapons and crucial information to their partners. The situation in Africa is believed to become worse if intervention is not sought out.
       Other forms of radicalization are taking shape and changing forms like the Kenyan Mungiki group which keeps on changing. The Mungiki sleeper cell, now called the Nairobi Business Community, is believed to have been widely involved in the post-election violence in 2007, are now dressing as police men committing rape and murder across the country.  SOCAFICA should therefore look into all rising forms of domestic threats that might grow to cause an international incident

Meru University dance battle and comedy night.


      Today will see the best in both worlds of comedy and dance battling it out at Meru university of science and technology. Three varsities will turn out today to show exactly what they are made of. Heads are probably going to turn as the much-hyped event goes down at the Multipurpose hall. The event was a joint initiative by the creative arts club of all varsities. With an entrance fee of 100 bob which happens to be cheap and convenient to students is expected to be packed as activity and buzz slowly fills the atmosphere. If you’re looking for an interesting way to spend your Saturday night, then Meru university is the place to be this afternoon.
       Security is also at its maximum with armed police patrolling the premises and body searches are also conducted on anyone that enters the auditorium. The event will also be aired live on Meru tv which is also standing by to broadcast the event as it is scheduled to start in a few minutes. VIP tickets are going for 200 shillings and also happens to be fully booked, that goes to show the type of packed activity that will be on session in the next few hours. Come one and come all. It will also bring together the best in comedy in Meru where great comedians are said to have come from. A night of laughter and dance is a great way to end a stressful week and also to turn our eyes away from extreme events in our political scene.

       This is a great opportunity to blow up steam from all angles and is hoped to be the biggest come together of varsities in Meru county so far. Student leaders from all institutions are also expected to show up at the event alongside the beauty queens of each. This would be a great time to get to meet in person the people we usually see on social media, let’s get social. Talent is a growing concern to parents, institutions and also to a country as a whole. The greatest thing about talent is to actually watch it grow and rise in front of your own eyes. It only gets this good at a university face off. May the best men and women carry the day.

BABU OWINO AND JAGUAR LOCKED IN FIST FIGHT AT PARLIAMENT.






     Babu owino is said to have lost his teeth in parliament according to one face book page  ‘’Tuko na Uhuruto’’, this happened as honorable members faced off in parliament earlier today. The word honorable alone in Kenya represents a bunch of individuals who do not only build castles in their heads about how and what this country looks like, but also represent the exact opposite of what leadership was meant to be. The two youthful politicians who have the ability and opportunity to write their political dreams today decided to add fists and fury to their political history.  The Member of parliament of Embakasi East Babu Owino is said to have lost teeth to Jaguar.
         This comes as members of parliament in different parts of the African continent have been turning to blows as the most appropriate way of addressing people. A leader is said to be a mirror, that he reflects his people. If the leader is corrupt, so are his people. At the rate at which everything and anything can be done for a price in this country just goes to say that we are a corrupt nation. I still find Erick Wainaina relevant to date, ‘’nchi ya kitu kidogo.’’ Members of parliament of Uganda also had a few moves that the Kenyan delegates should borrow the next time they try fighting. The 21st century will forever be remembered as the generation that rose Africa to its proper place in the food chain. With riots, all over Africa for better leadership and service delivery. An end to dictatorial rule and the genuine rise and birth of democracy in the entire region. Something proving difficult even for a super power like the United States of America considering their just concluded elections.
        Is humanity losing a grip on being sensible, or has it always been a man eat man society? Since truth stopped existing for a majority, it will be hard changing the national and local picture. When we come to the question of who is who in the political scene, the one who controls the masses. The most likely occurrence is Babu Owino. Jaguar however being a musician failed to convince the masses of his political ability was nominated to parliament by the jubilee party. Babu owino on the other hand was elected quite a number of times as the chairperson of the university of Nairobi. Successfully vied and acquired a seat in the honorable chambers and who is actually undertaking his second degree at the same university.
Also Read What Happened to the United States of America?
       With phones disappearing in the corner of justice to Mungiki dressing as policemen, the story here should be straight. This is said with lots of respect and consideration to Kenyans who are modern day gladiators, defying all odds and making it to their dreams from very rough places. Mr. Owino was assaulted by a struggling musician who cannot come out of one sound; who tried his luck in politics and failed then went ahead to cry in public; then nominated by this party called Jubilee to parliament where he showed he is not worth the nomination. There are political favors and projects and there are politicians like Owino.  Your days in parliament are numbered.  At least we know the goons that passed the bill for those so-called policemen to detain an individual for 14 days without bail or arraignment in court from the 24 hours allowed by the law.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA




       What happened to the fourth of July? What happened to democracy in one of the greatest nations known to man at this age and time?  It’s been a long time since the USA took the title ‘’great’’ from the British who had self-imposed the word at the beginning of their name during their conquering days. Maybe for lack of8 a better thing to do or we could simply blame it on the weather. The United states of America itself has grown tremendously during the period into a force to be reckoned with until recently when it transformed into everything it does not stand for.


        The free world, as though often by most and looked up to by most African countries recently found itself in a dilemma like most African countries. A scenario where an election which is considered most secure, free and fair turned out to be a mockery and sham to its citizen. That’s when all the questions started emerging. The ones about how great and sabotage free the nation really is. Unlike their African counterparts however, their reaction was the most disturbing aspect. The expected wide criticism of the process would have in turn lead to judicial trials and another round of elections like the Kenyan one as most would have expected.  Heads should have rolled, people incarcerated and all hell should have broken loose on those individuals who tried to undermine the will of the American people. Like Osama, Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, they should have stopped local terrorism in a similar manner and fashion.
        According to the events that transpired, its accurate to say that a thief sits at what is possibly considered to be the greatest and most powerful elected office in the world. With all the great names associated with the USA, it’s quite a horror to watch and experience firsthand the unfolding and making of a computer-generated leader. Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther and anyone who contributed to making the USA what it is are literally rolling and flipping in their graves at the sight of Trump. Popularly known for his ‘’your fired’’ statement in a television show called the apprentice, the business man is said to be extremely thankful to the Russians for making his otherwise known dream into a reality. That goes to say that behind closed doors, the Russians run the government and its interests. I bet it does not sound that great right now.
        History would have been once again made by the democratic election of the first female president in the United States of America. As at now, history will never forget that those elections were flawed and it happened in the greatest country we know of during our time. A classic way of importing mischief from African countries where leaders simply bribe, corrupt and intimidate their way into power. What really happened to the spirit of the American dream? Is there hope for that great nation? Or is this just the beginning of the end of what was a great story. The American story. I therefore close with the words of an open minded and honest thinker who once said, ‘’They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.’’

IT’S ABOUT TIME SOME OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS GET THEIR HISTORY STRAIGHT.



    Yes, you just read that, just in case you’re wondering if you read that title right. It’s about time this particular group of Kenyans realized that Kenya does not belong to them. This goes out to those Kenyans who think that they are more Kenyan than other Kenyans yet 42 tribes came together to fight for this beautiful country. We as Kenyans are wondering where we missed the mark? When did Kenya turn from being ours to that of a particular tribe? However, it’s been proven that the best way to hide something from an ignorant fool is to write it on a book, so let’s take time school some of this lost Kenyans.



     Fifty-four years after fighting the colonialists for what was rightfully ours, instead of fighting poverty and better education and accessible healthcare for all, we are now fighting a particular group of Kenyans who just can’t get the point the whole nation got decades ago. Is it that hard to identify what’s right from wrong? At this rate, it’s hard to tell if you can differentiate your right hand from your left, too blind to see that individualism carries the day and not tribalism to a large extent. Extremely proud to be used as rubber stamps and its very disturbing that we are tempted to think that this might be that particular crop of descendants of political collaborators who made independence hell. Guess what, independence happened anyway.
Also read : Are We really secure  during elections
     If Raila’s father, Jaramogi was like some Kenyans out here, he would have accepted to be the first president of Kenya and the now celebrated Mzee would have rotten away in prison. Luckily, he is not that breed of Kenyans, he had the people at heart and respected the people’s decision.  What happened to the people by the people for the people? Tom Mboya, Robert Ouko and most recently Msando of IEBC joined the long list of political murders that have rocked this country and shocked a single tribe that they all come from. The contribution of this people to this country and  to what we are today as a nation can never be said enough times. Then comes this mad man Mosses Kuria talking in his vernacular about killing the same people, how silly are we as Kenyans to take that lying down, the saddest part was the cheers from some Kenyan as he said it. Get your history straight, it’s annoying that history is written in books. The old adage however confirms my suspicion, ‘’ If you want to hide something from a stupid person, write it on a book.’’ Babu Owino calling the president a dog does not even remotely compare to that statement and it’s not even close to funny.
 
   I’m tempted to think of what would happen if this country was split, imagine having a group of people who are grossly associated with theft and removing passengers from cars and hacking them to death along Naivasha-Nakuru highway, then add a bunch of cattle rustlers and modern-day people with poisoned bow and arrows in the 21st century where we thought guns would be the go to thing. That’s one poisonous combination and the end result leaves an endless trail of results; arson, genocide and lastly the turning of a country into Somalia. The only question on the table is how long it will take, because lawlessness and landlessness will be the order of the day.  If we cannot have free and fair elections in this country, then we will not fight. We will remove the cancer the best way we know how to, well cut it out! We are tired of mungiki dresses up as police men and rape our people in universities and homes, shoot and kill our children on the balcony of our homes. 
 

   Just in case you’re wondering, yes, it’s a riot act and Kenyans are tired of your old tired tactics of getting what you want. We have had this image of Kenya for a long time only to realize that it was a deception and inheritance for a group of entitled people. We need what belongs to us, a country with unity and peace.  We should know what belongs to you, having in mind that hundreds of acres have been stolen by the Founding father which belongs to us. I think its accurate according to Uhuru Kenytatta, Mr. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and history as it is to call Mzee Jomo Kenyatta a thief and land grabber if my history is accurate. If some Kenyans can’t stand the truth and other Kenyans with the same intensity, then we should just say goodbye and part ways. Luckily, we still believe in operation Okoa Kenya and with no doubt, when Kenyans come together great things happen. We are in the struggle for internal free and fair self-rule for all Kenyans. All Kenyans should therefore no just look the part but act the part as well. But, during the struggle for independence, there are also those untold stories of men and women who hid under their beds while it happened. You can therefore hide under your tribal veil as long as you want, Kenya will surely have its way at the end. Kenya will stand and its bigger and better than two or three tribes combined. My closing remarks are however simple, shame on you!
