The world is beginning to crack the whip on some notorious Kenyans. We are truly in a global economy. UK already has warrants of arrest out for Chris Okemo and Samuel Gichuru for money laundering Now it is the USA, at the highest levels of office looking for our very own John Harun Mwau and Naima Mohamed Nyakiniywa on drugs trafficking. Who is this Mohamed guy? Let us also not forget those in the pipeline including the Ocampo 6.We can run from the Kenyan law but we cannot hide from the global courts of justice.m.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/06/01/letter-president-foreign-narcotics-kingpin-designation-act

This is serious.
The two Kenyans happen to be the only Africans on that list.
Naima Mohamed Nyakiniywa is probably a fake name for one of the better known kingpins. Most of them have three or more passports.

......And Harun Mwau was one of the main bank rollers of Raila Odinga's last presidential campaign. MangaiI think that Capital FM properly focuses on the issue at hand. We shall address propaganda later. Here it isNAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 2 - US President Barack Obama has directed sanctions against Kilome MP John Harun Mwau and businesswoman Naima Mohammed Nyakiniywa under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act which, among other things, includes seizure of property under American jurisdiction. The directive by Mr Obama against the two also included five other individuals from Mexico, Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan. The sanctions are contained in a report sent by President Obama to the US Congress dated June 1, 2011. "This report to the Congress, under section 804(a) of the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, 21 U.S.C. 1901-1908 (the "Kingpin Act"), transmits my designations of the following seven foreign individuals as appropriate for sanctions under the Kingpin Act and reports my direction of sanctions against them under the Act: Manuel Torres Felix (Mexico), Gonzalo Inzunza Inzunza (Mexico), Haji Lal Jan Ishaqzai (Afghanistan), Kamchybek Asanbekovich Kolbayev (Kyrgyzstan), John Harun Mwau (Kenya), Naima Mohamed Nyakiniywa (Kenya), Javier Antonio Calle Serna (Colombia)." Under the US laws, the Kingpin Act blocks all property and interests in property, subject to US jurisdiction, owned or controlled by significant foreign narcotics traffickers as identified by the President. A brief on the US Treasury's official website states the Kingpin Act blocks the property and interests in property, subject to US jurisdiction, of foreign persons designated by the Secretary of Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Director of Central Intelligence, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Secretary of Defence, and the Secretary of State, who are found to be: (1) materially assisting in, or providing financial or technological support for or to, or providing goods or services in support of, the international narcotics trafficking activities of a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act. In addition; (2) owned, controlled, or directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant role in international narcotics trafficking. Mr Mwau is among four Members of Parliament who were investigated over drug trafficking allegations by police last year and a report tabled in Parliament exonerated them from the illegal trade.He was probed alongside Gidion Mbuvi (Makadara), Hassan Joho (Kisauni) and William Kabogo of Juja. Internal Security Minister Professor George Saitoti later announced that the report he presented in Parliament was a preliminary document, implying that an investigation against them was still underway. Former US ambassador to Kenya Michael Ranneberger earlier this year told Capital News that investigators from America were in Kenya assisting local police in the drug trafficking investigations against the MPs and other individuals suspected to traffick in narcotics.Soon after the report was tabled in Parliament, the legislators mentioned in it vigorously fought to have their names expunged, saying they impacted negatively to their reputations as Members of Parliament and businessmen.

First it was the Ocampo 6, then Jersey 2 and now Kingpin 2. All those sitting pretty at the heart of our criminal justice system should ponder where and why they failed. It seems for any justice to done we will need a foreign "helping hand". That is why need real reforms at the Police, prosecutorial and judicial reforms

Ok all of us even standard two pupils knew the chief pharmacist but who is this mama called Naima "Nyakinyua" Mohammed? Finally we have a gutsy foreign president who is doing what our cops have failed to do for the last 20 years. As we laugh them out of town, let's pause for a second and bow our heads in memory of thousands of youths hooked on drugs in Kenya thanks to our Govt turning a blind eye. A whole generation has been wasted. It's a global village baby!

Commes, this is fantastic news. Now we know why Kenya deserves a full-fledged DEA office within our borders. Since we have proved that we can't prosecute our homegrown druglords, let the Americans do it for us. It is quite telling that these two Kenyans make the list & yet KE is not a cocaine or heroin producing country. The volumes the pair are transiting through KE must be huge.

Political, Socio-economic and beyond. This is where I am coming from. Many Kenyans have attempted to start legitimate businesses using their hard earned income, savings or loans. There are many reasons why most businesses by ordinary Kenyans fail. They are sensitive to market forces. However, narcotics dealers and those who obtain obscene amounts of cash will set up several businesses as a front. Such businesses are cushioned by illegal money as the proprietors do not give a hoot about market forces. It could be an establishment in the matatu industry, a banking sector, a bar & restaurant or real estate etc. These “drug barons and money launderers” will for example deny Kenyans access to prime plots of land that ordinary Kenyans could have afforded otherwise had the prices not been inflated by “dirty” money. Because establishments by these “dirty businessmen” do not respond to the forces of demand-and-supply, they will outcompete and run down other legit business running by the ordinary. There activities like those of the pirates will bring excess money into our economy and force the CBK to raise its base rates to contain money supply. The commercial banks in turn will limit loans to ordinary people like me. These are the areas that the local media should be focusing on and explaining the benefits

Being labelled a drug Kingpin by the US of A ain’t a simple achievement. It’s big. Massive resources (DEA, CIA, FBI etc) will be unleashed to cripple Mwau’s interests. I wonder what our newly proposed DPP nominee Keriako Tobiko, who is well known to have served the latter’s interests feels about this – talk about ‘reforms’!
The key point to also note is - this sanction extends beyond the individuals Harun Mwau and the so called Naima Mohammed Nyakinyua (very likely an alias for a well known person). Blacklisted for international sanctions will also include all their associates, businesses, and proxy fronts.
Ever heard of names like {Narc Activist, Chris Murungaru, Solicitor General Wanjuki Muchemi, former CID boss Kamau, William Kabogo, Mbuvi Sonko, Humphrey Kariuki Muigua, Sanjay Shah, Dilpun Shah, Paolo Satonino, M W Prabhu, B Parmar, Manish Shah, Manoj Shah, Felix Odemba, Stanley Livondo, Bobby Macharia, George Kiragu} or Businesses like {Charter House Bank, Nakumatt Retail Chain, Pepe Container Depot, Kingsway Group, Creative Innovations, Kingsway Tyres, Digital World, Landmark Village et al.,} aLL EYES ON YOU!
The US hammer is falling on this empire simultaneous to the British hammer upon Chris Okemo’s head – the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, who wanted to re-open CharterHouse Bank.

Once the drug lords have the money, next they wanna be MPs, and some wanna be outright P.O.R.K, like Harun here, others wanna be cogs in the big wheel, like the clueless mafiya lickspittle eugene

The sharp-shooting Mwau's days are numbered. That Moi could've appointed him the director of KACA in 1997 just shows how far back the roots of Kenya as a narco-state go. It leaves you wondering if there really is any legitimate business in KE given his stake in Nakumatt, Charterhouse Bank, PEPE, Village Market, The Tribe Hotel, ad nauseum. According to Citizen tv Naima Mohamed is a Tanzanian national. Is Kenya getting a bad rap on this front?

I do not know how akina Joho (Ali & Abu) escaped this, but they are well known business partners of a well known 'prominent' businesswoman. Thats why perhaps Kabogo is also missing from the list since he has known relations with Mwau.
If this 'Naima Mohammed Nyakinyua' is the person I think she is, then that could be precisely the reason Johos are out of this list and the use of this name confirms that she could be using this as a pseudonym & her godfather must surely know how many passports she is holding just like it has been confirmed that Mwau is a holder of three passports! There can only be ONE "Nyakinyua".
And this is one hell of a warning shot from Obama, no wonder he has no interest coming to visit Kenya (and build a proper home for Michelle per Luo culture) as he's not very sure if Naima may be at the airport to receive him!
Local news channels aren't revealing much about this Naima 'Queenpin' but one mentioned she is a businessman whko was once arrested in Tanzania by Kenyan police. Citizen aka Royal media, even lies require some intelligence! Starting to cover-up before any direct accusations have been levelled just confirm Obama is on the right track afterall.

Commes, Naima Mohamed Nyakinyiwa, a Kenyan, aka Mama Lela was the one who owned the consignment that saw the arrest of Scola Mwangi at JKIA early last year. She evaded the dragnet & presumably ended up in TZ. www.newstimeafrica.com/archives/10615Standard online has also run a story by Cyrus Ombati claiming Nyakinyiwa was arrested in Mbezi, Dar es Salaam along with two other Kenyans. Phil, Nyakinyiwa also had 3 passports like Mwau.

b6k, where's the triple passport link story for Nyakinyuwa? What are the names on the passport? What I know is a drug kingpin never goes to the ground to personally undertake mundane logistics tasks like customs clearing. The employ people and pay them handsomely to handle their security, logistics, financial and legal issues. This is the reason I find it unbelievable that Nyakinyua was at JKIA for clearance of a $1million consignment. Thats certainly not a kingpin. Sounds more like a courier!

It must surely depress a lot of people that Mama NARC aka PNU Activist was not the one everyone thought it was!
Out of curiosity, why would Obama have any problem naming anyone such that he appears to also protect the name people wanted?
The point is that the guy bankrolling a chunk of the Raila campaign used drug money to fund it...!

This is the Standard media link. www.standardmedia.co.ke/agriculture/InsidePage.php?id=2000036366&cid=4&...and here's a bonus from Citizen Tanzania (part of NMG). thecitizen.co.tz/news/-/11535-police-names-arrested-drug-dealersIt seems even TZ police are not sure of Naima's nationality. She really doesn't seem to be much of a kingpin. She's too hands on, most likely a former courier as you say. Why would Obama out such a low cadre target? Seems Kenya should brace itself for a roasting (Jersey, US). Which bigshot is next...

Aside from Okemo & Gichuru who are wanted by the UK, all other suspects of late were prominent ODM '07 funders: Devani, Deya, Mwau. What's going on? The PNU activist is so comfortable in her operations she doesn't need an alias or a cover. That may eventually be her undoing, the Sophia Mubarak way.

What I’m really intrigued by this is ‘WHY’…don’t get me wrong they are all obviously criminals…from Gichuru to most of the current government .Are these recent arrests as a result of Raila’s constant travels to US/Europe? Or is Obama doing his duty as a Kenyan? ‘Lets round all this scum up folks!!’…There are a bunch of criminals involved in the world drug trade much much bigger than Mwau…can you really tell me that Mwau is amongst the 5 most visible Kingpins?? Please he would barely register at 450….
Anyway my take on all this is Raila maybe the PM but he is already Kenyas Defacto president…very soon there will be no one left to Challenge him either politically or financially…
