The ever smiling long serving Attorney General of Kenya Amos Wako, who has served two Presidents, Daniel Arap Moi and Mwai Kibaki has formally joined the ODM. orange-democratic.blogspot.com/2012/09/amos-wako-formally-joins-odm.htmlGreat addition, great brain and experienced hands. Karibu nyumbani bwana wakili. While receiving Wako, Prime Minister Raila Odinga said those who want to leave ODM are free as the party's membership is voluntary. Wako now faces the prospect of challenging newly appointed Minister for Youth & Sports Hon Ababu Namwamba for the Busia Senator ODM ticket. |

 Amos Wako is no lesser a Kenyan than any of you chaps. The ODM is a party that welcomes members who are Kenyans from all walks of life. The ODM believes in equality and does not discriminate anyone on the basis of certain misplaced stereotypes. As per the party constitution, the ODM Election Board shall vet Wako's suitability to be allowed to contest and if its okayed then eventually the people of Busia shall ultimately decide if Wako is the Senator they want to represent them. It may also be worthy to note that soon after his retirement Wako has since been re-elected (not appointed) to the UN International Law Commission that he served more than twenty years ago. Thus thinking being peddled here, is null and void since he appears to be in demand as he ' a great addition' to this renowned legal think-tank!? My sense is that if Wako can twice be seen as worthy to serve the prestigeous UN-ILC and also survive through two highly politicized transitional regimes in Kenya as AG, who would I rather between him and other legal minds in the name of Miguna Miguna or Githu Muigai for instance; and this is coming from a party that has made constitutional implementation a priority should it form government? It is an obvious choice! |

Phil,
Let´s welcome Wako to the party and let the people decide his suitability.
Don’t for a moment be discouraged from articulating party positions or take any political stance by some of our jukwaa armchair politicians. Some of these armchair politicos are paid to malign ODM.
The PM just said that those who wish to leave the party can do so, for it’s a free party in a free country. So why sweat?
Wako will contribute big time to the party given his vast experience.
ODM si party ya watoto.

The problem isn’t that he has a poor ‘legal mind’ he just has a poor mind...in his prior positions he served his master’s well which just happened to be Moi & Kibaki not the Kenyan people or the constitution, his long tenure is proof positive how ‘effective’ he was...
He will serve Raila well & should ODM make the next government he will continue to serve Raila just like he did Moi & Kibaki...again to the detriment of the Kenyan people...hope he never gets anywhere near government again...

I thought that he is in the running to serve the people of Busia and not Raila. Or am I missing something? Besides, he is not running to be AG but a senator. I believe that he will be accountable to his constituents and not RAO. |

My response was to Phil regarding his brilliant legal mind but what I said still applies to the people of Busia...how can you trust someone who flip-flops on everything based on whoever is paying/dictating to him when it’s obvious he knows better? Don't we also have enough circumstantial evidence that shows you have to dance to RAO to succeed in ODM? Wako is a great dancer & with his legal dexterity he might actually make a 'great' Senator...so I indeed could be underestimating him... |

House teams summon Wako, Kemoli over Busia SugarParliament has summoned former Attorney-General Amos Wako and Richard Kemoli over the controversy surrounding the sale of land belonging to Busia Sugar Company (BSC). The two who served as BSC director and alternate director respectively, will be questioned by joint House committees Thursday morning. Committees also want former Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) managing director Francis Chahonyo, who cannot be traced, to answer queries on the Sh600 million that was reportedly disbursed to BSC for cane development but was never received. The summons came as listed miller, Mumias Sugar Company (MSC), was told to vacate the 843-acre land after MPs determined it had recovered the money lent to the controversial firm. The joint Agriculture and Lands committee dismissed Mumias’ claim of ownership of the land which has purportedly been sold to a private firm, saying it had no right to dispose of it. Committees’ chairman John Mututho told Mumias management led by CEO Peter Kebati that the memorandum of understanding it entered with BSC for cane supply “did not include any lease or proprietary claim or right over the 843 acre land in Nasewa.” www.businessdailyafrica.com/House+teams+summon+Wako+Kemoli+over+Busia+Sugar+/-/539546/1518502/-/view/printVersion/-/bj2v5uz/-/index.html

This is coming from someone who worked with Wako at first hand and on a very crucial national project. A good lesson for those who cast aspersions on the character of the former AG. |

The ever smiling former AG should have waited a little bit longer to see which direction the wind is blowing. I'm sure by now he knows politics is indeed a very dirty game, there's no honor among these people. Mark my words, the ever smiling Wako will defect before you send out those Xmas cards.......you can take that to the bank!

I'm sure by now he knows politics is indeed a very dirty game, there's no honor among these people. Mark my words, the ever smiling Wako will defect before you send out those Xmas cards.......you can take that to the bank! According to the new political order in town, last minute party-hopping is a thing of the past. That is unless parliament changes the the Elections Act 2010 and the Political parties Act, 2011 like they have showed the signs of intention to amend. The Elections Act 2011 requires aspirants to be members of the parties they intend to run on by 18th October 2012, the election date of 4th March 2013 remaining constant. Section 13 of the act stipulates that a political party shall nominate its candidates for an election at least 45 days before a general election. According to the electoral commission, with the polls scheduled for March 4, the party nominations should have been concluded by January 18, 2013. Section 28 of the Act further states that: “A political party that nominates a person for any election under this Act shall submit to the commission a party membership list of the party at least three months before the nomination of the candidate.” Thus counting backwards from January 18, 2013, all party membership lists should be submitted by October 18, 2012.You can now appreciate why fringe candidates like Shebesh and Wanjiru are restless. There are a lot more in parliament and this is why they want to change these laws, especially Section 28 which is the main bone of contention. These are mostly unprepared legisltators who have not marked their diaries and who are frightful of facing the electorate soon. The same groups are now whispering an August 2013 election! By the way this is also similar for pre-election coalitions. The law says coalition agreements must be deposited at the IEBC at least 3 months before the election date, ie 4th December 2012. Independent candidates (like Miguna) must also not be members of any political party at least 3 months before the election date. The question of waiting a little longer to see where the wind is blowing does not apply any more. My friend destiny, welcome to the new Kenya basking in the new constitutional order. |

So Wako made a move that may have been wise or unwise depending on how you want to look at it!!! He cannot be a wise politician...even if he was a 'wise' and 'brilliant' lawyer! Just how do you join a party with fanfare where your opponent to be is a senior minister and he even witnesses your crowning??

agwambo, in his time tested wisdom, told us as far back as 2011 that the battle ahead is distinctively for two ideological formations and in every aspect a two horse race.it is open to interrogation if ohuru is positioning itself with his party suggestively named the national alliance(tna) as the ultimate formation for status quo or he is the third horse that will defy the times. Let me indulge you, e gwonyrwok mar ng'ato gi yuore, and besing your praises in the sense that your inputs, even if you are ODM damu, are never remotely the semblance the intestinal refuse, hose-pipe sprayed around this blog by the usual paid ODM anal spokespeople! And so I want you to answer me with your customary braininess. 1. You are right: Raila stated some time ago: these elections will be decisive for they shall pit the progressive forces against those of regression. READ UHURU K $ HIS TNA are the regressives! NOW: Amos Wako then, joins the forces of progression! I think one will have to be mentally senile to reason, citing Wako's record in public office, that he be a stalwart soldier amongst the progressives. What do you think, yuora. Does Wako fit more with UK or Raila in a t wo horse-race pitting the future vs the past?I think it is ideologically a hollow statement, to kiss up to a Wako and still yell ones self a credible progressive! who fools who? ;D ---------- NB: Well, since when do we look for truth in the campaign statements of politicians, especially in Kenya? ;D Of course Raila wasn' t serious, except for the part of it shaping up to be a two-horse race. Methinks it is a two horse race between the conjoined twin forces of impunity and retrogression. Same heart different heads!  But still it is a yardstick that indicates the hollowness at the core of the party. Or the desperacy, that forces her to kiss the snake Wako! There are no permanent enemies in politics?  Why is dread war such a permanent feature of politics then, in human history?  Ka weche tek, to ng'ato luongo mana yuore okonye dwoko! Don' t dare dissapoint me! |

Methinks it is a two horse race between the conjoined twin forces of impunity and retrogression. Same heart different heads! , indeed I made a similar comment in the Musalia thread where Gateway spoke with such clarity after lighting up his bong. How anyone can believe that having a political contest that pits the son of KE's first president against the son of KE's first prime minister can even remotely resemble a contest against status quo & progressive forces is a mystery. This battle has been fought since the early '60s. How much more status quo can you get? |

Raila' s ruthless cynicism is a touch too desperate. Phil, something you can not spin. Sh! is sh!T, and however perfumed, the odour is too stark. re-read your propaganda classics! Let us see in the latest development, as recycling old garbage boomerangs, how the ODM spin masters will try to whitewash Amos Wako. Two big guns from Western, Amos Wako and Musalia Mudavadi (who has been lobbying to be recruited into the cabinet in a reshuffle which would see Ole Lenku demoted), have had a shot from their dark past hit their foreheads. AG Githu Muigai, feeling the heat as the LSK turns a coldly wicked eye on him… has decided he is not going to sink alone, and he has named NAMES and, surprise surprise, not of the ghosts. The names he has named are former AG Amos Wako and former MoF Musalia Mudavadi. This thing started with them! Ask them the details! cried Githu, whom his cousin the President has left holding the can in the latest blame game of the Anglo-leasing debacle. After the professor's I saw no evil I knew no evil I did no evil, TNA secretary General, Onyango Oloo TNT, fired a bombshell fingering some from the ODM benches. ---There he is, the AMOS WAKO, the spider who spun the whole web in his evil genial mind! and we are seeing nobody in the hypocritical troupe called CORD asking him the hard questions! .... I think that is a bull’s eye, and senator Bonny Khalwale should be brave enough to question his new-found friends as hard as his solar plexus drive at the son of Jomo the other day [see Youtube relay by Kolonel Brisk on this threadjukwaa.proboards.com/thread/9010/anglo-leasing-new-payments?page=1 Where is tought guy Tawfik Ababu Namwamba to sing me a song in praise of the experienced hands of Amos Wako! ---Innocent! Innocent! innocent! |
