Corruption and Kibera and may seem strange bedfellows but is it?First there is an alleged corruption in the Ministry of Devolution,next there is a demonstration in support of the CS from "Kibera residents",there follows a counter demonstration against the CS and then what follows is mayhem and anarchy as property is destroyed.Who is to blame?At least in the egg versus hen story we now know the hen came first because GOD created it first.So was the destruction in Kibera as a result of the alleged corruption in the Ministry of Devolution or on forces bent on destruction and intolerant of any opposition to their perceived "KING"?
My take is that it is corruption that fuels our daily destructive behaviours.When you look at the expenditure in the Ministry of Devolution you are left wondering how one consultant can be paid money to the tune of 38 million for spinning hot air and coming up with a five point strategy.The truth is that unchecked powers and expenditure leads to theft of untold magnitude.It is better to chase the hawk before it catches the chicks than keep quiet and cry later when you see it perched on top of the tree devouring the chick.
The explanation given on how money was not lost does not wash,let the investigative agencies do a thorough audit of the Ministry to determine who was engaged in what and who were the accomplices after all, it is our money that was swindled or about to be swindled.So why Kibera?Maybe Kibera is the most "radicalised"community and a "flashpoint" whenever emotions boil over.Why is this so?Politics of course.We live,eat and sleep politics in Kenya.The crowds engaged in both anti and pro CS must have been mobilised and facilitated.For what purpose? To score political points.

That is a rather lame way to defend the deviants in Kibera who burnt a clinic under the guise of corruption!!! The idiots that incited them do not use the clinic but get their treatment in Aga Khan and Nairobi hospitals! The money that is being alleged to be the cause of the demonstrations had nothing to do with Kibera but the demonstrators from Kibera in support of the minister had everything to do with what the ministry has done to the area.
Unfortunately it is the area politics that led to the counter demonstration and destruction of property. We all know the people aspiring for political office in Kibra constituency and are also aware that the local area MP has done a lot for the area and in particular for the youth through the partnership with NYS. This has had a considerable positive effect on the youth in the area as well as helped in cleaning up an area which was filthy. Undermining Ken Okoth by some political neophytes hell bent on starting a dynasty in Kibera is just wrong! This conspiracy of keeping an area trapped in poverty for political reasons is unacceptable. Ken grew up in the area unlike these characters making noise and inciting youths!

IF IT IS NOT ANNE WAIGURU, CAN SHE SAY EXACTLY WHO THE THIEF IS?Is Waiguru the NYS thief? I do not think so! But has her ministry been caught thieving? Definitely so.Why do I give her the benefit of doubt!? (I like her! I would rather die than condemn her to death. I am the type who would join a mob stoning a pick pocket to death, so for certified state looters, I find the Gadaffi-fate fair game. Sawa!? No, not for Anna yawa!) ...Okay ... -Because the execution of this theft is ubelievably stupid. Only senior defence and security personnel whose expenditures fall under secret legal clauses and, in addition, operate covert and overt intimidation rackets, tend to loot in this brainless way. Then, Anne being so close to the president and in effect just a heart-beat away from him, handlers like Githu Muigai or the other handmaid who intimidated ex-EACC commissioners Onsongo and Mercy Keino, would have the instinct to nip this scam in the bud. Because it would be a Waiguru's seppuku in public, and that would leave Uhuru stricken like a plane with one engine lost, mid-air. A death flight at worst. I do not consider Waiguru suicidal, yet. It takes some time for power to corrupt to that extent. I do not think Our Anna has reached that state where reality and fiction are blurred in the head, that she is gone past that point where the fallacy of invincibility corrodes sanity. The DN stands by the following details. Just amaze yourself at the stupidity involved here, captured in that Harakhe cartoon. I think she could very well be a victim of a successful strategy of deep state looters. This is purely insane, demanding for deletions of OFFICIAL RECORDS OF PAYMENTS ALREADY MADE! (if password is stolen, and payments illegal, you keep the records for investigations! ' exhibit'! haha! YES, consider DELETION as opposed to nullification. Or declaration as void. In one, the paper work remains for ''exculpatory argumentation!'' and learning forensic lessons. On the other hand, Deletion is destruction of evidence! Without a trace, the event never happened! When the transactions involved range past billions, stolen passwords don't do!
Anne Waiguru moving to destroy evidence which already is within the Central Bank accounting system!? I find that l hard to swallow.  It would mean (1) divine power in the republic -which I dispute, and (2) she is practically unfit to hold any office dealing with finance. Even the cashiers lead at the downtown Nakumatt branch would be beyond her! It is likely the mediocre minions she has foolishly employed so that her dominance can always prevail, are her Achilles heel. It is her responsibility yes, but not her doing. NO HONOUR AMONGST THIEVES? But anyway, there she is now being defended by none other than the Weston Hotel Lang'ata Singh! That is the one-time destroyer of the Kenyan economy, in concert with the likes of Jirongo in the KANU youth days; a bad crowd to defend ones honour. Then there are the Mpigs who only yesterday stitched-up Monicah Juma for her lack of willingness to bribe them with candy, yet today have discovered a saint in Anna! I suspect they know they have her where they want her. She will be milked, and milked, and milked. Pathological blackmailers like our Mpigs stop only when you die, or you kill them! What a fat catch they have in Waiguru! Political action is overflown onto the streets, lo! just like during that impeachment struggle we had placard waving on Haile Salassie avenue! Mayo! things are hot! All the way to Kisumu. Waiguru has really hit the bottom end of the brothel! The special corner for rotten ho's! -Sh!t, it came sooner than I expected. The rot at the top must even be worse than I feared. The best of wo/men corrode in the twinkle of an eye! (how long did it take Obi Okonkwo to succumb to malfeasance!  )
(yawa, Waiguru yuora, ok imiyae kata signol achiel kende ni pok itow kaka Charity Ngilu giri!)

And therein lies the cause of all our problems. POOR journalism! Was the warning by Thugge to Mangiti on the specific payments in dispute or general use of IFMIS? So Harakhe realises that his password has been stolen and payments processed and awaiting payment. He requests the IFMIS people to "DECOMMIT" the transactions so that payments cannot be fulfilled. Now the process of "DECOMMITTING" does not change the budgetary allocation against which the service was procured but only means that the services for which the payments would have been made are treated as not having been provided to government. It certainly does NOT mean that it gives the procuring authority to spend as it wishes since any payments made by government would still have to be routed through the same system! So poor Ann Waiguru will suffer the political consequences of her success - especially for those whose toes she has stepped and also those who risk political loss from her successes. NYS !!! |

Kamalet, Harakhe tried to work backwards on a specific situation following a red flag by Thugge's people on their NYS shenanigans. You and I have shared long wails and cries over the damages wrought by the 8-4-4 system. But this incident does not Leave them with egg on face! |

There is always the danger of taking the media as a source of truth.....and you seem to have fallen for it!!! Why do I say so? No where in the article does the author suggest that the Thugge intervention was with respect to what Harakhe had done as the warning was to Mangiti and the date is also not known! We are not even shown a link between the 826 million and the warning by Thugge - but the effect has been achieved for the reader is made to believe there is a link. Which takes me back to my admonition regarding our journalists! |

Which takes me back to my admonition regarding our journalists! no let us not be so hard on the journalists as they are also working in a trying environment. if there is blame to apportion let us start with those who receive tax payers money starting with Parliament and Senate who are our supposed watchdogs. The Cord alliance tried to address it very well at inception with the push for a national dialogue on all the things that divide Kenyans and condemn them to poverty, crime, insecurity, corruption, unequal development, and skewed allocation of resources. Instead of pushing the campaign to fruition, the promoters found the earliest excuse to end it prematurely and push for a political showdown in the form of a referendum. For a moment, some of us held hope that the referendum would be premised on serious issues, until it was reduced to offering freebies at taxpayers’ expense to all the looters that make up the political classes. ..... So why don’t we as a nation step back to first discussing the issues and seeking accord? Because of dire lack of leadership when everything is programmed towards the next elections.It is in that vacuum that the Jubilee administration finds space for return of grand corruption.www.nation.co.ke/oped/Opinion/Referendum-Constitution-Okoa-Kenya-Pesa-Mashinani/-/440808/2761580/-/pca8gt/-/index.htmladditionally the ruling Jubilants seem to be enjoying proceeds of corruptions as it will make the next election a walk over if they amass great wealth. then we go to the independent Constitutional bodies and here EACC comes in first.if we are to touch the 4th Estate and maybe ourselves Transparency International laments that..... years after the promulgation of the new Constitution, and notwithstanding the importance of the legislation, the State is yet to enact legislation to guide holistic implementation of the right to access information. Therefore, the State continues to withhold vital information that compromises the very principles and values of governance espoused by the Constitution. Presently, the framework governing the collection, storage and disclosure of public information is guided by a number of statutes including the Disposal of Records Act of 1962, the Public Archives and Documentation Service Act of 1966 and the Statistics Act of 2006. www.tikenya.org/index.php/freedom-of-information-networkso again the Jubilants in their tyranny of numbers are not keen that information leaks even officially as the best way would have been to enact relevant laws to support Article 35 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, which provides as follows:- 35 (1) Every citizen has the right to access: (a) information held by the State; and (b) information held by another person and required for the exercise or protection of any right or fundamental freedom. (2) Every person has the right to the correction or deletion of untrue or misleading information that affects the person. (3) The State shall publish and publicise any important information affecting the nation. |

That is why Ouru copies Jakom, Anyang Nyongo and Balala in dyeing his hair to be jet black. so those old men and baldies who used to share offices on the same floor and have refused to dye or shave bald have had to be relocated as her usual instruction to HR is 'I do not want to see that grey haired oldie in my meeting'. that results in transfer letters being made or if the officer is essential he is shifted to some other floor so as not to literally cross paths with the matriarch. so is the red high light far fetched? so the real 1st lady lets her grey streak show off proudly forcing Kamwana our PORK to oscillate between his mother who is also stylish, mama watoto and the matriarch in his sober hours |

[i]I do not think Our Anna has reached that state where reality and fiction are blurred in the head, that she is gone past that point where the fallacy of invincibility corrodes sanity. [/i] -----------------------------------[/quote] Hey greybeard Podp, keep off my favourite Anne!  When I heard of her 'bureaucratically haphazard' fashion of 'dissing' personnel, I attributed it to the necessary make-believe arrogance of a fast-tracked promotion to the top, and not the unavoidable psychiatric deformation of character or personality arising from enlengthened periods in power surrounded by the 'fictitious pliant reality' of yes men and sycophants. (NB: of course I have heard of menopausal mood swings of monthly periodic temperamental fits affecting the official demeanour of female executives, but I wont go there on a politically correct blog like this one!) Right! You see up until only yesterday with the 2013 election, Anne Waiguru was even lower than Henry Rotich in the so-called treadmill of the mandarinate. Rotich is now her lesser equal of course. Then, after the elections, by the act of those who know people in high places, she was parachuted to a super power position somewhere close behind the president, arguably higher if not at par with both D-pork Ruto and Premier Joseph Kinyua. Such a dizzying promotion rate needs a 'psychological swagger' to beef things up a bit. A question of self-preservation in the rat race. And so the mystique or mask of arrogance is standard wear in a less than meritocratic hierarchy. A protective device, and menace, warning jokers of the dangers of wise-cracks about short-cuts to the top referencing eg her. So me reasoned, the arrogance manifesting itself chiefly in the abuse of the powers of personnel transfers, bossing them about like her maids, was much more an exercise in re-assurance, to mask her insecurity before former bosses of proven technical superiority. Nothing pathological, yet! NB: There is something though, which is 'worrying' me. From my understanding of bureaucracies, I would think the moment the sharp-nosed central bank chapter discovered irregularities on the NYS account, expenditure vouchers odd enough to halt clearance, they would have been sharp-witted enough to recognise the consequences to the President, given it was Anne Waiguru's docket; and, so said, they would have informed the Prime Minister Kinyua via un-official canals. An alert of sorts. Why? Prime Minister Kinyua is an ancient at Finance and the Treasury, and an ace at bureaucratic fixes. And loyal to Mr. Kenyatta. If Waiguru was seemingly a greedy greehorn who who had slipped, or, in the words of a former British ambassador Ley describing Kenyan top bureaucrats, engorged herself up to puking and shameless leaking all over floor, a man like Kinyua would be the one to 'manage' the situation before the President were smirched in stench and fall outs, and Waiguru herself fallen. That Kinyua was informed beforehand, I am ready to bet my d.ick on, but what I can not ponder out is whether he could have had a motive to play games, instead of a straight fix. Waiguru is mightily close to Muigai, so danger to her must, by priority, ring code-red-alarm bells. Only a few months ago she survived an impeachment drive; another scandal like this, she starts to look like a liability, and the president could be persuaded to use her more behind the scenes, and less in public drives. That Waiguru went humbly to report a stolen password -the CID officer must have used every mental energy to keep his face bland, must have been quite a big climb down from her known brash arrogance, and that is where I suspect the damage-control knowledge of experienced hands like Kinyua could have come in. He would know once transactions were flagged in the system at the C-bank, it was a criminal investigation. (Compare this to the reaction of clueless Harakhe who wanted the episode DELETED! Straight away an arrest offence!) I do not think you execute that kind of theft without insider dealing! Just like you do not collapse Mumias without insider co-plotting! |

UGLY GAIT IN TOWN OMUNDUSTRONG, Waiguru does not have an idea what she has done ---no, not to my heart! In half a year she has turned gold into evaporated dust. If this is how your best department, top of the pops run by no-nonsense toughie, what do the rest look like!? The core values of the service are Integrity,  Patriotism  and discipline ! -Hey, this memo is yet to reach Waiguru and her team! For them there is only one value: looting  . Where is a good PR man to try his wits at spinning this? She is Uhuru' pincher mark you, the great hitter in the team! Now she gotta get rid of the name Queen of Graft! poor girl was a hype, but this much!? Oh No! |

Jakaswanga,my elder waragi-swigging bro,i know she just broke your heart but there seems to be more than meets the eye in the shady deals that NYS is involved in particularly in as far as procurement is concerned.Now as one Mbadi puts it,the President has raised the bar very high and now that the buck stops with your "Favorite" CS the only honourable thing is to step aside.However much fudging on the matter,there is a clear impropriety in the Ministry that will eventually come to light once the investigations are complete.

Friends and supporters of Anne Waiguru, our powerful Minister for Devolution, can support her without re-writing the criminal law. An offence is committed once one has an intent to commit an offence, what in law is called mens rea. It matters not that you didn't succeed in completing the act. Attempted offences are offences to act as a deterrence from one even having criminal thoughts. Inchoate offences are therefore as bad as completed ones. It is why we have offences of "attempted" and "conspiracy" across our Penal Code and Public Officer Ethics Act. What friends of Minister Waiguru need to argue is that she wasn't involved at all. The argument that no money was lost could be an admission that she was involved but didn't succeed! Anne Waiguru needs friends but not such kind of friends. We are happy when no money is lost. We are happy when no one is killed. But it doesn't stop DPP Keriako Tobiko from indicting one with attempting to defraud, or attempted murder or conspiracy to defraud or murder! Anne Waiguru may need to change advisers. www.facebook.com/donald.kipkorir?fref=ts |
