CORRUPTION: --Uhuru Kenyatta Throws In The Towel!

[jakaswanga]

CORRUPTION KENYA: UHURU KENYATTA NOW TOTALLY SURRENDERED, HE IS NOT THE HEAD OF STATE!

We are champion crooks, Uhuru Kenyatta agrees with Mugabe

The Kenyan president is a Keyser Soze subservient.

www.the-star.co.ke/news/2016/02/25/kenyans-are-experts-at-stealing-hurling-insults-uhuru-says-in-israel_c1301621

Kenyans are experts at stealing and hurling insults, the President has said, adding they perpetuate hatred despite being in a good country.
Uhuru Kenyatta further said his people are doing little to stop corruption in the government and the private sector.

"Sisi kama wakenya Mungu ametupatia nchi ambayo ni nzuri mara ishirini kuliko hii tuko hapa," he told Kenyans living in Israel on Wednesday evening.
"Lakini tukitembea ni kulia, ni kuiba... tuko na ujuzi pia ya kuiba, ya kutukanana, ya kufanya mambo mengine maovu na kuleta ukabila".

This translates to: "God has given Kenyans a country that is 20 times better than the one we are in right now. But there is crying, theft... we are experts at stealing, abusing each other, doing other evils and perpetuating tribalism."
He asked the public to learn from Kenya's friends, and transform the country in a process that he said would not take much time.

When President Mugabe of Zimbabwe lambasted us Kenyans for it, we went to battle. We were enraged and declared the old rogue a joke. Wave after wave of cyber venom accosted the half-dead dictator from the African South as we, inspired like Anne Waiguru deconstructing David Ndii on the rosy prospects of Tanzania in comparison to Kenya, picked the moribund republic Zimbabwe to the last bone.

Here is the offending piece, allegedly shouted with courage to his people!

'Kenyan universities award degrees in theft, please Zimbabweans, graduate anywhere but Kenya!

Robert Mugabe: God Should never have created those THIEVES (Kenyans) in Africa

November 3, 2015 by Politica. By Clarence Mbagazi

HARARE: Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has launched a verbal war with Kenyans. While Presiding over a funds drive in a city church on Sunday where he was the chief guest, Mugabe said that Kenyans are the most arrogant thieves in the world because they steal with high degree impunity.

“Those people of East Africa shock me with their wizardry in stealing. Sometimes I tend to believe that stealing is in every Kenyan’s blood. These people go to their schools and read good courses but they qualify as the best thieves. You can even think that there is a subject in their universities called Bachelor of Stealing. Whenever they get an opportunity as employees, they never disappoint. They steal enough money to buy their freedom because even the judges who listen to their cases are financially powerless. I urge you my people to be on high alert in case you by bad luck, happen to visit that East African nation. They might infect you with that disease and we don’t want it here. Zimbabweans are honest people who love their country and don’t want such stealing tendencies. ” He shouted with courage as he advised his nation.

Would, our own president would find the courage to shout with courage at the lootacracy he heads. Alas, overwhelmed and caught out of his depth, he verbatimd Mugabe without the decided intent.

Hitherto, it has been possible to give Uhuru Kenyatta the benefit of doubt. That would be stretching it of course, but I insist the elastic was still millimetres before the inevitable snap. There is lots of stuff which gets to the president's head, lots of stuff which clouds his vision, clogs his mind, and eventually derails his would-be appropriate presidential reSpoNses –--as per oath, and law. I know it is difficult to believe, but the bugger really did take an oath of office, the highest office in the land. And he is still under that oath to defend the land against ills, ills like the corruption that now holds the nation ransom.



The lady who handed him the bible is Glady's Shollei. She has since been outed as Keyser Soze's mistress, a rotten soul. Her dirty hands corrupted the Bible the head of state used. Let us call it a chequered episode.



My gut feeling was Wily Mutunga should now shut up forever on what his thoughts were, here; but on second thoughts I hold it necessary for the history of the nation, that he s must come clear at some date, either by way of memoirs or in-depth interview, to help us understand the historical pivot as we meander out destiny.

1. Uhuru Kenyatta here (photo innauguration) is still an ICC indictee.
2. Mutunga's courts had abysmally failed to form an opinion on the integrity clause of the new constitution, worse, they could not even comprehend the word integrity, let alone define. (We now know why the learned friends were so challenged! Their rot is worse than Mpigs!)
3. Wily Mutunga rose to this office as a representative of progressive Kenya, enlightened –-renaissance-- scholarship and yes, moral competence! (No, don't laugh please! I am serious about Mutunga having been the Great Moral Hope of Kenya). For this reason it is important to have him state in his own words how he perceived his historical role, swearing in an ICC-indictee, double. May be he was just as excited as the next hyena following the whiff of a carcass!?

I saw Otishotish being very cryptic on the Ruto-ICC thread.

[/Back to the ICC ... here is Ruto's real escape hatch: Forget Tonui, the real eating is in the Court of Appeal. Specifically, Barasa and his two friends are not going anywhere; that's been taken care of. And contrary to what people might think, CJ Mutunga (a) knows about it, but (b) actually can't do much abut it.

Pray tell, why is the goodly CJ so impotent!?

Keyser Soze captured him too!?

WHO IS KEYSER SOZE?

From Wikipedia: –--Keyser Söze

Keyser Söze (/ˈkaɪzər ˈsoʊzeɪ/ KY-zər SOH-zay) is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the 1995 film The Usual Suspects, written by Christopher McQuarrie and directed by Bryan Singer. According to petty con artist Roger "Verbal" Kint (Kevin Spacey), Söze is a crime lord whose ruthlessness and influence have acquired a legendary, even mythical status among police and criminals alike. The character has placed in numerous "best villain" lists over the years. ...

I have followed with amusement the resignation speeches of high-profile and great-expectations Kenyans who were enlisted in the battle against the legions of King Graft. From far back and all the way past the eloquent PLO Lumumba –-remember him post Ringera!?

They all blamed powerful cartels and individuals behind the scenes for their downfall or less than lacklustre performance. Even the Turkiest of the Young Turks Ababu Namwamba as chairman of PAC! They all cut a figure of having been sheep bleating before a wolf which never concerns itself with the opinion of sheep. And now it is the president of the republic himself who has become the sheep in chief, bleating helpless as the wolf feasts. Yes, even cartels have a titular head, and the mafia has the boss of bosses. This has led me to conclude the almighty corruption cartel in Kenya is headed by a mysterious character, I call him Keyser Soze.

And so powerful is he, or she, that even the (duly?) elected president of the republic of Kenya is just but one of his errand boys. Uhuru Kenyatta is now a head shake at what could have been. His debt ridden, graft ridden administration is totally surrendered. Keyser Soze scares the commander in chief so much that the officially most powerful Kenyan has to tearfully break down in a foreign country bemoaning the fate of his lost Kingdom.
Some head of state!

Here is a comical instalment from Uhuru Kenyatta's Presidential days.

www.standardmedia.co.ke/mobile/article/2000192876/nys-scandal-entangles-treasury-cabinet-secretary

For some reason Uhuru Kenyatta can not do his job while the nation definitely faces a crisis. A crisis is no time to beat around the bush. He aint earning keep doing sh!t. Some of us are used to real performance contracts in real time. Bugger off Muigai, you are a waste of future time. Being declared a winner in a shaddy election is no divine mandate. --and no work is no pay, just the sack.

HERE IS A WONDERFUL PIECE OF INTELLECTUAL CORRUPTION

Saturday, February 27, 2016. Kenya to benefit from President Uhuru Kenyatta's visit to Israel

In Summary

Internal Security Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery, was on Friday scheduled to meet with his Israeli counterpart to work out part of the details of mechanisms to open the gate for Kenyan workers in Israel.

By PSCU

Concluding his visit to Israel, President Uhuru Kenyatta has brought goodies of direct flights between Nairobi and Tel Aviv, increasing the number of students studying dry-land farming technologies and automated agriculture, collaboration in water and irrigation projects, and treatment of heart surgery patients in Israel.

He visited the Wolfson Medical Centre in Tel Aviv where more than 20 Kenyan children have received heart surgery, while others are awaiting to be airlifted to the hospital through the Save a Child’s Heart Kenya, an NGO based in Israel.

President Kenyatta said the government would contribute to the cost of transporting the 20 children.
“We will explore how we can work together with the possibility of you opening a branch in Kenya,” he said.
Currently, 75 students are studying in that country.
Internal Security Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery was on Friday scheduled to meet with his Israeli counterpart to work out part of the details of mechanisms to open the gate for Kenyan workers in Israel.
President Kenyatta, who arrived in Jerusalem on Monday, held bilateral talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin and agreed to strengthen the existing security cooperation, especially in the war against terrorism.

The President was accompanied by Cabinet secretaries Amina Mohamed, Major-Gen (Rtd) Nkaissery, Eugene Wamalwa, and Dr Cleopa Mailu.

Bungoma Senator Ken Lusaka was also part of the President’s delegation.

That is the propaganda department of Uhuru Kenyatta spinning.
The word Palestine is completely absent!
O my God Uhuru Kenyatta! Did you know the meaning of your first name Uhuru!?
Stop joking boy! The Israeli-Palestinian colonial situation is one of the most intransigent issues of our time! The ruthless energy necessary to visit Israel without accommodating, noticing this problem is, in my opinion, psychiatric. They say you studied political science at Armherst USA!? Did you!? (though in Europe I once heard of a term ''AIPAC robot'' to describe a type of politician in America. You could be a spin off, mate!
Palestinians are terrorists not worth neither a word nor the time of a Kenyan president! (he he yawa! I should surely start drinking again, then would I not notice this kind of thing!)

[jakaswanga]

WHY WE MUST TREAT IT AS A SOAP, YET.

Our champion fighter Muigai has thrown in the towel, but he is not dead, yet.

Maina Kiai www.nation.co.ke/oped/Opinion/When-did-Uhuru-know-about-NYS-scandal-What-did-he-do/-/440808/3093954/-/3a2vcr/-/index.html

For those of us living in this Kenya, the question we should be asking is: What and when did Uhuru Kenyatta know about all this? And what did he do?

'TACKLING' CORRUPTION

For a while now, a narrative has been created that suggests that Uhuru Kenyatta is deadly serious about tackling corruption.
People who have met with him on this issue point out his passion, anger and frustration about the extent of corruption and all have left convinced that he is serious about it; often adding in the rider that, after all, his family is so wealthy that he does not need to be corrupt.

But I just don’t buy it.

What did he do!? What can he still do!? I think there is still something small he can do, quickly before he fades forever. If he does not then history must take its course. For time and tide waits for no man.
So let me allow myself the licence to treat it all a big joke for the last time in a few posts. I have not exhausted all my humour on this narrative. The NYS saga keeps on throwing laughable material which is so amusing it hinders the grit which fixes the heart of man in a mode beyond flinch.

Once upon a time I wrote a disclaimer elsewhere

DISCLAIMER:

Should Ogola$$Mujera ask in self-righteous blindness why pick on me, I will beg forgiveness and reassure, I only pick on them for the purposes of an academic explication of an phenomenon, and, further, pragmatic illustration of a prevalent situation. ---You know, like biologists use the fruit fly and the planaria worm a lot to do their teachings on genetics. They have nothing in particular against those two creatures, it is only that they are such good, simple and spectacularly available teaching aids ... (i was desperately trying to avoid the word cheap: 27M for x-mas clothes shopping anywhere don't come from cheap, methinks!)

Then the hot stuff: you see the Ogola$Mujera case study is also a story with many juicy tabloid angles. There is a strand which leads to the former Queen Anne Waiguru. She famously fell over some NYS small change (700M + 500M ksh. approximately) and, while asking for lighter duties from her alleged paramour, in this case the appointing authority, she hired a famous but controversial lawyer who immediately moved to blame the office of the same darling for her woes! Mama Mia!

No kidding. You want links, you get links.

Then there is the Ben Gethi strand. Does it lead to a dynasty founded by the legendary brutal copper, or is that a fairy tale, and merely coincidence of names!? I am ready to grant the benefit of doubt, but then a name turns up, The Rosslyn Riviera Mall, and there are two Gethis, Peter and Ben, having plots at around the same place in development. Then do I hold that a loose end until further notice. Knowing how the senior Gethi got his pile, Ogola$Mujera could be the second generation consiglieres, if you give kenyan economics a mob twist.

And then the Banker's strand as an aside to the I$M /Ogola$$Mujeera dispute gets even hotter

Then there are the courts at which Ogola$$Mujera argue their cases, fuming they are wronged to be barred from buying 27M worth of X-mas party clothes in HongKong. By their own admission, the fraternity of legal friends swim in a sewer daily. Not that Jukwaa was ever fooled by Canadian CV's more shiny than Harvard-Yale post docs. Those were the days with likes of Nereah wa Amadi, their minds hawk-eye.

jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/9368/njoroge-politics-central-bank-imf?page=2#ixzz41JHQMhgw

So I repeat my apology to Ogola$$Mujera. This is nothing personal. It is only that, like a planaria worm split any which way, every strand to their story develops a life of its own. They are a ready-made aid, an illustrative device too genial to be missed by a good old fashioned veteran of KUPPET and KNUT!


This is a story. A kenyan story that tells itself. I will merely join them together so that we have a narrative. And so we shall.

It had not occurred to me that narrative would be a feat in comedy. But now, in the wake of two famous affidavits, a lot of worms have come crawling out of the woodwork, and doors to more cupboards full of skeletons have burst open, and you cannot look at any VIP in Kenya and not wonder if it is really a human being. I have a strange feeling the Kenyan elite consists of non-people. They are some mutant thing.

First lets us take a comical peek. BULL'S EYE

Therefrom shall we do a long Waiguru Stretch in the wake of her colourful affidavit.

February 21, 2016
Exposed: Cliques pulling strings at EACC

Investigations by Sunday Nation and multiple interviews have established that the clique is strategically placed in Parliament, within the Executive and in the judicial system.
It plays God on who should, or should not be, investigated — using senior EACC officials as puppets that manipulate case files; effectively subverting justice, fixing individuals and running extortion rings.

So that is the small matter the surrendered Uhuru Kenyatta can do. Give us the Kenyan alias of the mysterious Keyser Soze who has broken him so badly!

[jakaswanga]

From the Anne Waiguru affidavit:

ON ???TH May 2015, Adan Harakhe informed Devolution CS Anne Waiguru of the attempt to defraud 829M through his compromised IFMIS password. Waiguru advised him to report to DCI, cyber crime unit. Adan Harakhe does this on 26th may 2015.

Next day on 27th May 2015, PS Peter Mangiti introduced Harakhe to Ben Gethi. Mr. Gethi subsequently tried to intimidate Harakhe into allowing the fraudulent transactions to proceed through the IFMIS system. The two parners in crime also tried to intimidate him away from involving the DCI.

On June 3rd 2015, Mr. Harakhe informs the Minister that PS Engineer Peter Mangiti and Director General Nelson Githinji, have directed him to allow the matter to be handled off internally, ie departmentally without involving the DCI.

This circus goes on until meetings in Dark parking lots at Nakumatt still fail to intimidate our hero Adan, and, on June 18 2015, his powerful nomadic tribesman and hot sycophant Aden Duale is brought in for effect.

The Duale SMS is now as famous as the one Waiguru allegedly used to fire Kiplimo Rugut from the NYS director Generalship at the ministry in charge of transactions, or, as they call him, holder of the AIE.

NB: Nandi Mpig Alfred Keter read it correct. And what an abuse he took from Duale: spoiler Bubu, yelled Duale. In deed! cash-strapped Rotich of finance was lined to pump 3bn into NYS, and a hand more trusted than Rugut was needed!

Now there is some juice to milk here, and I want to ripen the teat first. Ripening the teat is a ritual in which a mammary-gland stimulating hormone is released into the circulation. Then can the milk flow, like juice after foreplay.

WHO IS DR. NELSON GITHINJI?


On commissioning to NYS director at state house.

The DCI investigation revealed that, apart from the suspicious 829M which Harakhe was under pressure to okay through, and long before Waiguru had asked for investigations on these, other amounts totalling over 791M had been paid into accounts controlled by Josephine Kabura. The transactions occurred between December 2014 and April 2015.

These amounts were immediately withdrawn in cash. Githinji had been the holder of AIE on those!

NB: Note this detail, is why I like to take a mean look at Bretton Woods recruits or Yale$Harvard men taking care of my and Wanjiku's loot up there. And then some, my eyes just narrow to this look whose heart has got the hurt, locked. Last time I heard, Patrick Njoroge had fined family bank 1M for allowing transactions above 1M.

I am waiting for the Opus Doc to spin me a yarn on the day this truck parked in the banker's basement to load 791M from the vaults! It could have been pick-ups too of course, but you get the idea. Njoroge was not yet in office that time may be, but I gather he got brains which do not need to have been in office to crack the case in details.

He does not have to wait until some affidavit corners him before he, in turn, comes out with even a more spectacular affidavit about stiff-dicked Keyser Sozes gunning for his arsehole, O please help me I swear.

But that was an aside ---a strand for later.

The juice is that one, that these transactions which occurred before Harakhe came into office, were authorised by none other than Dr. Nelson Githinji.



And who is Dr. Nelson Githinji.

We will work backwards.

1. ON STEPPING ASIDE FROM NYS.

NYS Director Nelson Githinji steps aside after DPP ordered his prosecution

By Standard Reporter. November 16th 2015

NAIROBI: National Youth Service (NYS) Director General Dr Nelson Githinji Monday evening stepped aside hours after the Director of Public Persecutions order for his immediate prosecution. In a statement to the press announcing his decision to step aside, Githinji also emphasised that he was innocent. “Today, sections of the media have reported that the Director of Public Prosecutions, Keriako Tobiko, has recommended that I be charged with a misdemeanour of obstructing my Deputy Adan Gedo Harakhe from performing his duties,” Githinji wrote.

He continued: “With a clear conscience, my respect of the rule of law and our Constitution and with my abiding faith in our judicial system, I have decided to step aside as the Director General of National Youth Service. My stepping aside will allow me to focus on protecting my long record of selfless public service.”

The DG also thanked the President and his deputy for appointing him in the post and exuded confidence that he will be found innocent after the due process. “I give them (President and his deputy) I disagreeurance that in the fullness of time, the judicial process will show that I was faithful to my oath of office and never let them and the country down,” He concluded.

He swore by his dead mother of course, that he is a honest man. He was faithful to his oath of office. Others are obviously very sceptical. But there could be a difference of opinion on the terms of oaths to Kenyan auspices!

EACC recommends charges against former NYS Director Githinji

By Moses Nyamori. January 15th 2016

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has recommended charges against the former National Youth Service (NYS) Director General Nelson Gitau Githinji over abuse of office, conspiracy to defraud and fraudulent acquisition of public property.

Dr Githinji is to be charged alongside Chief Inspector of NYS Nicholas Juma Makokha and Senior Superintendent Mechanic at the institution Geofrey Kimani Kiriha.

"EACC recommends the suspects be charged with abuse of office, conspiracy to defraud and fraudulent acquisition of public of property," stated EACC file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). The commission made the recommendations following inquiry into allegations accusing Githinji of servicing and maintaining a privately owned vehicle at the expense of the agency at a cost Sh497, 335.

www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000188262/eacc-recommends-charges-against-former-nys-director-githinji ...

servicing and maintaining a what!? of all things!

But where did the head-hunters fish him from before serving him cold to president Uhuru Kenyatta for appointment –-read, before Kinyua vetted him and found him fit for public trust once again!?

BINGO: Nelson Githinji was the former, near immediate Kibaki state house comptroller. In other words, the NYS scam has taken us in one leap to the heart of the Kibaki administration! I call that juice –--historicity, what do you call it? linkage I think.

And yet there is more. On this comeback kid Githinji.

State House in Nairobi: The National Assembly’s watchdog committee has recommended that some former State House officials be investigated by the anti-graft agency over unauthorised payments to a contractor

State House officials sank Sh89m in stalled project
Thursday, December 4 2014

In Summary

The parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) wants Treasury to recover Sh88.8 million from former top State House officials.
The proposal relates to a contract to construct a workshop and a petrol station at a cost of Sh105 million, which commenced on May 2011 during the tenure of then State House Comptroller Nelson Githinji.
The 52-week contract was scheduled to end in May 2012 but the works stalled in June 2011, just one month after it began.
The parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has directed the Treasury to recover Sh88.8 million from former top State House officials, accusing them of authorising payments for a stalled project.

The watchdog committee also wants the officials investigated by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the Director of Public Prosecutions over their role in the award and payment for the abandoned works at State House.

And no kidding, Nereah's boy Ababu Namwamba knows who Githinji is, but did he keep his mouth shuth when Uhuru Kenyatta appointed the same Nelson to NYS and Rotich upped the disburse to that department by some billions or so?

“The committee recommends that accounting officers responsible for authorising irregular payment without proof of work done be surcharged for the full sum of public funds lost...” the committee chaired by Budalang’i MP Ababu Namwamba says in the 2012/13 PAC report.

The proposal relates to a contract to construct a workshop and a petrol station at a cost of Sh105 million, which commenced on May 2011 during the tenure of then State House Comptroller Nelson Githinji.
The 52-week contract was scheduled to end in May 2012 but the works stalled in June 2011, just one month after it began.
During its January review of the contract, the Auditor-General found that the contractor continued to receive payment without an inspection certificate even after Zachary Muburi-Muita succeeded Dr Githinji at State House from December 2012.

Dr. Nelson Githinji is an insider, and he is no less a front than the hairdresser Josephine Kabura.

Everybody knew how rotten he was, and found him the right man for the increased NYS budget. He was tourism secretary before he replaced Kiplimo Rugut, the one allegedly fired by an SMS by the then all powerful queen Anne.

But who said history does not repeat itself as a bit of farce!? Who is the new director of NYS?

New National Youth Service director general named in changes

By Cyrus Ombati. Friday, January 15th 2016

Nairobi, Kenya: An officer who was in charge of the Kibera slum upgrading project has been appointed the National Youth Service director general. Capt Sam Michuki was named the DG in announcement made by Public Service Principal Secretary Lilian Omollo last Friday. Clare Lwali, who was acting DG was moved to Sports ministry. Michuki oversaw the Kibera project halfway but was removed after he fell out with some Devolution ministry officials over the manner in which it was run.

New National Youth Service Director-General Richard Ethan Ndubai sworn-in

By PSCU Updated Tuesday, January 19th 2016

Mombasa, Kenya – Former Permanent Secretary Richard Ethan Ndubai has been sworn-in as the new Director-General of the National Youth Service (NYS). Speaking today when he witnessed the swearing-in ceremony of the NYS Director General at State House, Mombasa, President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered the resumption of the Service’s youth empowerment programme. He said the objective of empowering the country’s young people to enable them participate actively in nation building that was main aim of the NYS at independence, still remains the core mandate of the Service.

The swearing-in ceremony was conducted by the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua. Mr. Ndubia holds a Masters Degree in Public Administration from Havard University and a Bachelor of Commerce - accounting option - from the University of Nairobi. He is due to graduate with a PHD in Performance Contracting, Measurement and Public Service Delivery from the same university. He has undertaken numerous training courses and programmes including Certification in Corruption Prevention from the Marcus Evans Institute in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Recent incidents where EACC apparently cleared former CS Anne Waiguru over the Sh791 million scandal and the appointment of Mr Richard Ethan Ndubai as new NYS director despite past corruption allegations against him, have once again raised questions on the independence of EACC.

Details have now emerged on how the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is held hostage by a small clique of Jubilee politicians, lawyers and officials linked to the Executive.

Investigations by Sunday Nation and multiple interviews have established that the clique is strategically placed in Parliament, within the Executive and in the judicial system.
It plays God on who should, or should not be, investigated — using senior EACC officials as puppets that manipulate case files; effectively subverting justice, fixing individuals and running extortion rings.

You catch!? There is this man Kinyua again swearing in a rotten thing ---but did you check those degrees the rot has!? (Boko O Boko!)

In another strand, we gather from an affidavit, Ben Gethi as a friend of CS Finance Rotich! And more, Gethi and DP Ruto's PA Kibet, are a rivet fit whose intimacy warrants 180 long calls a week!

It is a perfect, closed cycle and system of loot. We have to narrate it as a joke, because if we do not, we will compelled to act as a nation. When nations act against those joking with future of a whole people, it isn't the prettiest sight you want to be around.

THE HEADHUNTS WHICH TURN UP ONLY THIEVES

I am thinking it is by design. That those in authority who know they wouldn't pass through that eye of the needle called integrity test, seek birds of the same feather. Looking at the CV of those hired to these portfolios, one concludes a history of theft is a prerequisite.



The appointing authority –-if we give him the benefit of doubt, seems manipulated by every appointment into delegating rot to positions of financial sensitivity. Three years into a presidency, the CEO of the nation, if of good mental purpose and nationalist sense, would have figured out how to crack the whip.
So a cold rational analysis would conclude our Excellency is as a willing accomplice to the thieving mayhem. He is an accessory as guilty as hell. A total historical and patriotic fake.

NYS STRANDS

Adan Harakhe has wrapped himself in the cloak of heroism, and it is not an implausible pitch with such reports as Aden Duale camped outside his home in Embakasi for a day beseeching he, Harakhe, help out a fellow Somali with a cleansing affidavit; nevertheless the enemies he has made are showing they read his file well, and are leaking it to the media to dissolve any credibility he might have rebuilt.
Here are some past sins flowing out of his security files made public.

Past sins haunt top NYS officer Adan Harakhe

By Nzau Musau Updated Sunday, February 28th 2016

In October 2009, the PS Internal Security reprimanded the officer over gross misconduct for occasioning the loss of Sh3 million meant to settle Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Kipkelion, Rift Valley. A letter dated July 19, 2012 by the Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet accused Harakhe of receiving bribes and protecting illegal loggers in the same area.

The most recent disciplinary issue listed in the report is dated October 6, 2014, a month before he was deployed to NYS. In the matter, the County Commissioner Bungoma wrote a “show cause letter” to Harakhe for absconding duty without permission. “He was also accused of insubordination by sending rude SMS to the County Commissioner,” the report states. A month later on November 27, 2014, Harakhe was deployed to the NYS. Two months later on January 15, 2015, on the same day he reported to NYS, he was appointed to the Ministerial Tender Committee. A month later on February 18 at a meeting held at Waiguru’s former office, Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) was removed from Director General of NYS Dr Nelson Githinji and handed over to Harakhe.

According to minutes of the meeting, Harakhe had “more time to effectively process requests promptly” than Githinji who was reported by the CS as being too bogged down by operational matters to be effective. Shockingly, the investigating team found that Harakhe was appointed both AIE holder and also the alternate AIE holder.
–-------
The former head of supply chain management Andrew Nyongesa Pilisi testified that on several occasions, Harakhe coerced him to commence processing payments that lacked proper supporting documents.
The officer also claimed that Waiguru interdicted him for declining to process Local Purchase Orders (LPOs) which lacked supporting documents, leading to accumulation of pending bills amounting to approximately Sh100 million.
–----------
The report faults the listing of Harakhe as a witness and not a suspect in one of the NYS cases despite all evidence adduced to show he was involved. It accuses him of contravening the public service code of regulations by communicating directly to the former PS, former CS and current Senior Director of Administration.
–--------
It also accuses him of failure to follow laid down regulations on reporting channels on the matter of his IFMIS password. When Harakhe appeared before the committee, he pleaded his innocence saying the Sh791 million loss occurred before he reported to NYS. He also claimed he reported to CID after the former PS proved “to be of no help” and after he threatened and coerced him.

etc etc.

Perhaps it will a fruitful expenditure of time to ponder the (headhunting or recruitment process) which unearthed people like Anne Waiguru and propelled them to the key ministry of devolution.
This exercise, how else can it be, was first launched by the notorious Onyango Oloo. This TNA fella was, for a change, indulging not his guillotine but Marxian dialectics on JUBILEE AND THE NATIONAL QUESTION.
No, not that one actually. Quite another. This one.

A Digital Essay by Onyango Oloo in Nairobi; Saturday, April 27, 2013

A Macro Economic Analysis of the Jubilee Cabinet Nominees

Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto have both been hailed for their cabinet picks, widely lauded for the diversity, professionalism, relative youth and gender mix.

Even the very process of selecting the 18 nominees for the pared down cabinet secretary positions is seen as a clear break from the hoary days of MPs emerging from urinals in Nakuru town to find out over the 1 pm news on the radio that they have been appointed ministers; or the converse case of surprised sugar daddies shrivelling in their southerly genital regions, being shocked to the core in post-coital mode, that they can no longer fly that flag

In what kicked off as a nail biting suspense-packed teaser with a quartet of obscure technocrats being thrust in the national limelight, the announcement of the first Jubilee cabinet has been met across Kenya with what are slightly below the raucous decibels heard at soccer finals-or presidential victory parades.

There is growing grudging admiration with the energetic derring do duo which has a date at Daag Haag over the coming weeks and months.

I have deliberately kept my busy motor mouth zipped and detained my prolific fingers from tapping on the key board of my over worked lap top .

While the Ethnic Arithmeticians have been poring over the last names (and maiden names for the married women in the short short list) and the Back Room Analysts have been burrowing for any connections with this or that political chieftain, this or that retired or even expired top bureaucrat, I have been doing something completely different.

I have been doing a diligent Boolean search

it is February 28 2016 now and, to quote David Ndii, the Jubilee house has fallen.

That requires some diligent post-moterm. National post-moterm methinks, not just the parochial histology of Jubilee Illusions, delusions and genotypical incongruence.

Jubilee is after all just the identical comprador twin of the opposition. –--wait until you see the full list of 52 Mpigs and their cronies who, Alleluya bipartisanship, knelt before Waiguru and got contracts to build shoddy Huduma centers at a 1000% inflated rates! and more NYS goodies!

52 MPs got NYS contracts, PAC audit reveals

By JAMES MBAKA. Feb. 27,

www.the-star.co.ke/news/2016/02/27/52-mps-got-nys-contracts-pac-audit-reveals_c1302521?page=0,0

PAC investigations show some MPs — including some who vigorously defended Waiguru — did shoddy work in building or refurbishing, but still pocketed millions of shillings.
Details about MPs' involvement have created a dilemma for government critics, including Cord leaders, because some opposition lawmakers reaped big from the NYS scandal through the contracts.
Since Wednesday, Cord MPs have twice postponed media briefings about allegations top Jubilee leaders were among politicians bebenefitingrom the scam, orchestrated by senior ministry officials and aided by the political class.

On Wednesday, a Parliament press conference by Cord MPs was cancelled at the last minute.
Yesterday, MPs led by Homa Bay’s Peter Kaluma, did not show up nor pick calls, despite sending out a media alert.
Cord leaders reportedly have warned members not to address the media on the "sensitive matter until further notice".
“We are still gathering facts before hitting hard on this. Our colleagues say they require wider consultation,” said Nyando MP Fred Outa, who had booked Wednesday's press conference.

[OtishOtish]

Shockingly, the investigating team found that Harakhe was appointed both AIE holder and also the alternate AIE holder.

There is a "cleverness" in this that has to be "admired". The first "clever" thing about it is that nobody would expect it .... it's what some people refer to as "hiding [it] in plain sight". The other "clever" thing about it is that in the actual practice of the Eating Game, it is a very handy version of heads-I-win/tails-you-lose ("you" being Wanjiku ... but, in the context, perhaps not Wanjiku?).

A couple of notes from the emerging narrative:

* The man was "saved" so that he could serve a "higher purpose"---high enough to put him, in some sense, over his boss---and he seems to have done that quite well. Although these are not entirely happy days .... but he did his "job"?

* He and Ms. Asali-na-Sukari have agreed on a rearguard action that is actually quite admirable, as far as it goes, which is not very far ... so far.  The problems:

- Too many inconsistencies in this Whistleblower/Deputy-Whistleblower story. (Sure, it's laughable; but that's not the point here ... they get marks for "was present", "tried hard", ....)

- Their chief advisor---please, step forward, Mr. Tyranny-Of.../Millions-Per-Page-Of-Advice---does not appear to very helpful. Perhaps he is fundamentally limited in some ways, e.g. knowledge of computer systems.   "Password got stolen" is in the same category as "the dog [goat] ate my homework" and really ought to have been ditched now. And how much can one backdate?

- This Mr. Harakhe knows a thing or two---could be a real pest ...----but is probably seen as just another Hairdresser. There is an obvious "need" to send him a message, and cutting off one ball should do it. But will he pay attention, or will he too get into the affidavit business?

And then, there's His Excellency:

One suspects that he could well be a "good man at heart" (except where international criminal courts are involved) and that his inability to do what he is supposed to do reflect his fondness for certain grape and barley products, rather than his lack of genuine humanity and concern for Kenyans and ...

* Never let it be said that this is one leader who does not know his people. Expert thieves and tribalists, is how he describes them when overseas.   And it's hard to argue with him om that one. Recall that he grew up watching Daddy perform, then he got into Daddy's shoes and old house, and .... 1+1 = ? (All parents work hard so that, among other things, their children don't have to "struggle in the same way", and Jomo definitely took care of business. But Kenya is an "our people" place, and Jomo Jnr. has his "our people.)

* Still, H.E. has been learning one of two things about statesmanship on the international stage:   Until now, most of his performances at the A.U. things have been noted for their fireworks against irrelevant neo-colonial, hyper-imperialists types who won't permit Africans to solve their own problems. Until now.   This week he made strong plea to the "international community" to do "something" about the Somalian pests .... more money, more guns, more more more, please! [ Then we can tell you to f***k off. Again].

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s hands tied in graft war

By Cecily Mbarire. March 16th

Today we have set up independent institutions that check each other’s powers, especially as regards who to charge on claims that they are corrupt. It is a tedious process that takes forever. It also gives the guilty a chance to play around with the law and manipulate events as they defend themselves.

See also: Corruption: Too much talk and little action

This means that the process of fighting corruption cannot just occur in a flash, just like the process of creating the cartels and strategies to embezzle doesn’t happen spontaneously. It is very frustrating to genuine believers in the need to eradicate corruption. It makes one want to ask for the China option; death by firing squad, for corruption offenders. The psychological expectations of some of us are also set by the sensational media headlines we encounter every day.

it is an endearing piece. I couldn't help grinning a bit in pleasant amusement. The son of Jomo, his hands tied, the warrior emasculated, disarmed and impotent on the sidelines, yet the crowd howls for his charge into action.



Consider this opening salvo

The tentacles of vastly networked cartels that collectively siphon millions each year from public institutions are so far-reaching that it will take more than the resignation or firing of individuals holding offices to root out corruption.

This is Cicily Mbarire, Runyenjes Mpig. And I think she knows what she is talking about. She is a veteran, has been around the block even as assistant minister, and most recently, she was the deputy –-or something like that---- to Ababu Namwamba at the ill-fated Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee.
They sank together, overladen with goodies from the vastly networked cartels of corruption, headed by none other than Keyser Soze of course.

This is because 70 per cent of all perceived corruption has to do with public procurement, in which the private sector is heavily involved. If 70 per cent of corrupt deals occur through the participation of the private sector, then we really must share the blame equally between both sectors. This is a point that seems to have been completely overlooked by the civil society sector, which has been quite liberal with ultimatums to Government on the need to deal with corruption.

What I wish the civil society would do is agitate for changes within the law, as regards the President’s mandate to fight corruption.

www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000195027/president-uhuru-s-hands-tied-in-graft-war ....

This was when my amusement froze on my tongue: agitate for changes within the law, as regards the president's mandate to fight corruption.
And here is a gem

The irony seems to be lost on them when they conveniently forget that they are demanding that the Government must follow the constitution without understanding that the constituti

on as currently structured, demands that the President do nothing directly as regards fighting corruption. [/quote] This is the chapter-six-challenged constitution she is talking about. It demands this of the president!?

No wonder we are a bandit economy!

Anyone paying keen attention to the fight against graft will note that exposing, investigating and prosecuting corruption involves several agencies, including the Ethics and Anti Corruption Committee, the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Director of Criminal Investigations. The police, anti-fraud units, whistle-blowers and the Judiciary. It beggars belief that anyone would expect the President, who is constitutionally mandated to deal with corruption only through these institutions, to be able to turn-around corruption cases overnight. In a country where someone is deemed innocent until proven otherwise, the President should not even fire someone just because they are alleged to be corrupt!

However, some of us clearly think that the president should be judge, jury and executioner of suspects of corruption, as well as being the one who repossess assets suspected to be illegally acquired. If this is what we want, then we need to re look at our laws and agitate for the changes that will give the President requisite powers to do this.

www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000195027/president-uhuru-s-hands-tied-in-graft-war?articleID=2000195027&story_title=president-uhuru-kenyatta-s-hands-tied-in-graft-war&pageNo=3 ...

The CEO of the graft-ridden republic is blameless, powerless! It is quite a narrative given some of the constitutional changes we have seen Jubilee push through the parliament, and the president sign immediately.

So those days he used to issue decrees left right and center, and direct this and that to do this and that, the joker was merely play-acting!

Never has the saying kulala kazini been so accurate a description for a situation.

[podp]

KACC job is to call the suspected thieves, be it Kidero, Waiguru, etc., who once shown what they have stolen are asked to share with the KACC guys or else...





while PORKs buddy easily forced an acting CEO not only to be a double signatory but also to pay kshs. 180 million to a single sourced 'air' supplier



and now the DPP's office is claiming they are not able to serve sermons to NYS 10 suspects facing the charges of money laundering!

plus EACC admitting they will make more 'extortions' from the untouched 10,000 files.

A SMALL MAN DIES, THE BIG MEN LOOK THE OTHER WAY.

I have gathered Mr. Francis Wambugu, the father of driver Simon Mwangi, reports his son was most likely murdered. The late Simon Mwangi was the driver of one of the CEO's of the Youth Fund, now at the centre of the ksh. 180M fraud so sensationally narrated in parliament by chiq Namuye. But now there is murder.

Questions raised over mysterious death of Youth Fund driver By Nzau Musau | Sunday, Mar 20th 2016 New questions have emerged over the mysterious death of a Youth Enterprise Fund employee in the week that a Sh180 million scandal at the parastatal, now being investigated by Parliament, first became public. Simon Mwangi Gathika, a 33-year-old Fund driver, was found dead in a Mombasa swimming pool on October 19 last year, minutes after emerging the best swimmer among a group of merry makers at an exclusive party in the South Coast. He died on the weekend that the Fund’s entire board — some of whom have recently been questioned over misappropriation of cash at the Fund — were meeting at Tamarind Hotel, Mombasa. Mwangi had the responsibility of dropping the directors to their hotels. It has now emerged that Mwangi was invited to what he portrayed as a drugs and alcohol party by a colleague at the Fund.

now there is a murder, and a cover-up. And a rotten police force. The contours of a bandit economy reveal themselves like ripe fruit turn colour in time, boils burst when they mature, or wolves when the sheepskin adorned as PR and disguise is torn off.

NO COUNTRY FOR A MAKMENDE COPPER AGAINST CORRUPTION?

Mr Muhoro’s alleged ruthless streak has deterred politicians and commentators from talking about him in public “lest he strikes back”, a senior opposition official who claims to have once fallen foul of him said.

More about Makmende later. Top cop Ndegwa Muhoro, the director of the criminal directorate of Investigations –-we used to abbreviate this to CID, these days it is CDI, if the grapevine is to be believed, would also be the serving cop with the fattest bank account. NYS complicity and the countless others aside, we have recently had a visitation to his pockets by none other than the Grandmullah, on behalf of a New Zealand company which came and swam with the vipers of Nairobi and got bit. 1.

1. –-Among the controversies in which Mr Muhoro has been adversely mentioned are the National Youth Service scandal where Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru asked him to investigate instead of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. Months after the investigation, reports emerged alleging a cover up — the names of big shots involved in the scandal in which Sh791 million was lost were missing.

2. –-His name keeps popping up in almost every major investigation, and for all the bad reasons. Like his appointment by President Mai Kibaki in 2010 on the eve of the promulgation of the Constitution, Director of Criminal Investigations Ndegwa Muhoro has never been far from controversy. Mr Muhoro was appointed on August 26 to avoid vetting requirements stipulated by the Constitution, which was promulgated on August 27, though he was later screened when the National Police Service Act came into force in 2012.

3. –-FILE CONFISCATED Through Mr Abdullahi, Mr Stephen Jennings, a foreign shareholder in the Tatu City project, claimed Mr Muhoro was protecting Mr Nyasa and his associates on allegations that they defrauded him of land belonging to Purple Saturn Properties Limited, an associate company of Tatu City. Mr Abdullahi told the court that his client made a complaint to the CID on August against Mr Nyasa. The officer investigating the matter, Inspector Ezekiel Masada, recommended that a number of people be charged. But before the file was forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr Abdullahi claimed, the CID boss confiscated it.

4. –--Mr Muhoro’s name has also been mentioned in the Coinage farm dispute murder. One of the women who was removed as an administrator of the property of tycoon Mbini Coinage, Ms Eddah Wanjiru Mbini, earlier this year asked the Independent Police Oversight Authority to investigate the DCI over allegations that he was protecting lawyers she claimed were siphoning money from the estate. She accused lawyers Alice Wahome, Evans Monari, Beatrice Kabuki and Maina Nyangena of forging a court order which they allegedly used to withdraw Sh284 million from an estate bank account

5. –--In July, he was entangled in a Sh70 million Nauru robbery court case where he was mentioned as having transferred Flying Squad Chief Samuel Barongo to frustrate the case.

6. –-, March 17, 2016 Muhoro deliberately confused prosecution on Tatu City land saga, claims Tobiko The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) deliberately sent two different files to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) with conflicting recommendations over multi-billion land ownership saga at Tatu City.

7. –--The DPP’s letter was copied to the Presidency, Inspector General of Police Joseph Bonnet, the DCI, Maj Gen (Rtd) Philip Kameru of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), the Interim Director of the Financial Reporting Centre Alex Randi, the Director of Asset Recovery Agency Ms Mutton Kimani, and KRA’s John Njiraini.

Who, among these paid to care, really cares about the death of Simon Mwangi? He is too small to matter to these cops in the hefty multi billion protection rackets they run. Meanwhile General Nkaissery and those Anti Corruption agents are hiding behind bushes along highways, training binoculars on traffic cops collecting ksh. 100 tolls.



And here is Marwa the tough sheriff of Mombasa.



What is fascinating to note in Kenya, is that while tales abound of corrupt cops, there are hardly any tales of a MAKMENDE few in reality, taking the battle to the top corrupt. Historically, the best police or crime story, is of course one featuring a small time cop with a dysfunctional domestic life going against the whole establishment above. This establishment is compromised and derailed by big money, and opposition is suicidal.
But our hero is --missionary--- dedicated to his job, which is catching and exposing the bad guys, even if they are fellow cops. Neither is he shy of a clean kill himself. The risks are tremendous, especially when fellow cops are also moonlighting as hit-men for, say, drug cartels as in the set piece Serpico.

Corruption Serpico (1973) Director: Sidney Lu met Formed in 1970, the Knapp commission discovered widespread and deep-rooted corruption in the New York police department. This followed a story given to the New York Times by two whistle blowers, sergeant David Durk and officer Frank Serpico. The action flashes back to the beginning of Serpico’s career in the 1960s. He is a fine cop, but an outsider: he goes to Spanish literature classes and learns to dance ballet. His colleagues presume he is gay. When he is handed some cash in an envelope, he tries to report it, but is told to drop the subject. “Let’s face it, who can trust a cop who doesn’t take money?” asks one fellow cop. “I mean, you are a little weird.” He moves from precinct to precinct. Instead of fitting in, he finds more and more corruption.

Just that we know we don't have to re-discover the wheel.

Let us say the solutions to the problem are hanging like ripe fruit from the tree of history called Precedent. We just too lazy or not hungry enough to rise up and pick up a vitamin concentrate.

Uncrooked detectives are no longer born?

I have found myself thinking, Waaah, good cops are a propaganda species only found in the romantic imagination of cold-war generation script writers. When the good and the bad were as day and night distinguishable. Then scripts are a Mills$Boon variant for boys who need harder stuff. But after the cold war, won by neo-liberalism, the political order has found no need even for the romantic balance of the tragic hero in a story of cops. The police force has been uniformalised into a single robot mentality, no autonomy, and incorporated into crime. Narco states like Mexico and Columbia are the raw, unmitigated examples of this unity. It is not that the good-cop-bad-cop border is blurred, it is that it is wiped out. It is a luxury and nuance no longer sustainable in reality. –-here is a thought.

The 50 most violent cities in the world Of the 50 cities on the list, 41 are in Latin America, including 21 in Brazil. The lion's share of the elevated violence in the region is due to drug trafficking supplemented with gang wars, political instability, and the deregulation of economies triggering widespread poverty. "Narcotics are the the biggest black market earner of all. $100bn/year …

WHO IS GOOD, WHO IS BAD?

NB: No Sophie's choice scenes to ponder what good a man can do in an evil situation? A Nazi camp guard gives a woman a choice. She, Mrs Zawistowska, has twins and they are both headed for the crematorial oven for immediate disposal as waste. She can sack his duck and he will save anyone she picks. No, and they both die. How much good is in such a man? –-That is the one everybody has to answer for themselves!

NB: 'Sophie's Choice," is a legendary novel by William Styron. The filming of it in which Meryl Streep famously starred was by Alan J. Paula.









I thought, hmm, If I can honour Schindler because he saveD a few thousand out of several million, this crematory tender has some good too. He saveS one for Sophie. I will give him that.

NO COUNTRY FOR A MAKMENDE COPPER AGAINST CORRUPTION?

There is no shortage of trigger-happy police officers in Kenya. Petty hold-up artisans, carjackers and home-made gun totters are executed wild west style daily in Kenya. There is zero tolerance already. Top down MAKMENDE is pretty established then. Down firing up is the void.

Makmende is the name of a viral video turned text meme popular within Kenyan Internet culture. It follows the exploits of the fictional blaxploitation-style hero named Makmende who is able to do anything.

Makmende is widely considered to be the first Kenyan-sourced viral Internet ‘meme.’ Origin The word ‘Makmende’ has a pre-internet origin. It is a Swahili slang word that originally came from a popular 1983 Clint Eastwood movie, Sudden Impact. In it, Eastwood’s ‘Dirty Harry’ character holds a criminal at gunpoint, daring him to give Harry a reason to shoot him saying, “Go ahead, make my day.” This was mistranslated to “Mek ma nday” and used to refer to anyone who thought they were tough or a wannabe superhero. Cultural ethnographer Ethan Zuckerman describes it in a blog post: For example, if a boy who’s watched one too many kung-fu movies on TV decides to unleash his newly acquired combat skills, he would be asked “Unajidai Makmende, eh?” (Who do you think you are, Makmende?) Trust me, there was a Makmende in every hood!

In March 2010, the Kenyan music group ‘Just a Band’ created a music video for their song ‘Ha-He’ where a street hero named ‘Makmende’ single-handedly takes on a city’s worst criminals through his mastery of kung-fu. The look and feel of the video emulates the blaxploitation movies of the 1970s like Shaft and Superbly. It uses lots of freeze-frames and Makmende is dressed in the style of the time with bell bottom pants and a huge afro.

And so the file of the dead driver Mwangi will gather dust, and the wound at the heart of the nation fester more. But once it is imagined, an alternative, it hangs up there like the clouds of a rain which shall fall.

[jakaswanga]

Once again the auditor general's report is a colourful picture of what should not be. So let me run away from home and see whether the grass is actually greener at the far-off neighbour's. After all, a boy who never went past his village thinks all the beautiful women, and the ugliest ones too, are in his village! But first,

a DISCLAIMER:

This is a NAIJA MOVIE in real time. I find it so fascinating I am riveted. It has the basic ingredients of a cult hit, an epos in the classical mode.

THERE is a suicidal hero against deities of evil. There are dangerously hot and divinely beautiful women; free cash to the tune of a continental GDP; a bestial and fundamentalist terrorist organisation; mercenary men and women of extremely powerful intellect and sky-high education, and a desperate, impatient people waiting for a Messiah –-amongst other more earthly things like changes in fortune before death.

I bumped on the tale when I was hunting for MAKMENDES across the continent. I wanted to write an essay on cultural cysts of autonomy which, apart from being oases in the desert of the political bankruptcy inflicting Africa, survive to breed and nurture the moral fibre capable of taking on the pathological ruthlessness of those turned to the cult of the looting machine, like Eduardo Dos Santos. You know, makmende types or beings who are the moral soulmates of our own reputable dissenter and corruption abstainer, him Patrick, who now heads the Central Bank of Kenya. Culturally fascinating I said of him, Dr. Opus Dei Njoroge.

Culturally speaking then, I am really scared. It is a bad omen that it takes extreme characters to make a difference in public office in Africa today. That is abnormal. In the rule, standard good education and training should suffice for public affairs. Bureaucracy has always been mundane ABC stuff, routine and dead weight protocol running efficiently on momentum. But this Africa is something else. She is a disturbing reality. Average is a non-stater, brilliant itself is going nowhere. Africa demands the best of the best to move any step, she demands monks, the dedicated pious, suicidal maniacs or nothing.

(NB: A simple audit report on government finances in Africa reveals even accounting majors from the best of business schools in the West are decrepit artful dodgers at best, and illiterate imbeciles at worst! --wait until we visit Angola and Congo Brazza and South Sudan, where they did not even bother to note even the number of oil barrels produced. How could they then know how much was sold to who at which price!? –--That being the case, African oil republics need a genius to count the number of barrels/day, multiply by the price on that day, and note it down on a kasuku exercise book!

No kidding! The first daughter of Angola, Isabella the Playgirl, will now try if she can read oil meters for her country!

The Angolan Princess in Charge of Africa’s Biggest Oil Producer

By Conor Gaffey On 6/3/16 at 5:02 PM

The new chief of the state oil firm in Angola—currently Africa’s biggest oil producer—is a glamorous businesswoman who is friends with the Kardashians and was recently named by Transparency International as among the world’s 15 most corrupt people and institutions.

That is too scary for me! That is what is culturally bothering me and forcing me to plentiful blog. I feel I am staring at a deadpan mask but with mischievous twinkling eyes calling my bluff from behind!

'Dare remove this mask, fwaka,' the mask seems to inflame in malice!

How can I know you Africa, you are beyond my mind!
How can I unmask you Africa, you will turn my sight blind
How can I leave you alone Africa, you are all I have O my first Love!


Now, let us tap the mask for a tale.

What is fascinating to note in Kenya, is that while tales abound of corrupt cops, there are hardly any tales of a MAKMENDE few in reality, taking the battle to the top corrupt. Historically, the best police or crime story, is of course one featuring a small time cop with a dysfunctional domestic life going against the whole establishment above. This establishment is compromised and derailed by big money, and opposition is suicidal.

siezed from a securocrat.

Two days ago, a Nigerian patriot and Buhariphile was not amused by my dismissive attitude toward the ex General. Remember Muhammadu Buhari is a Nigerian octogenarian on whose frail shoulders much of the hopes of that accursed country rests, even the hopes of the people of the South East for a Union which does not invite fantasies of divorce.

What riled the Oga brother was when he heard me tell a disrespectful anecdote thus: 'In Nigeria, we are back to the Umaru yar'Adua director's cut. A corpse as a head of state. The presidency then implodes in a power vacuum which is promptly filled up by a looting cartel of predators aka state gangsters.'

I was saying this in reference to a cagey press release by the presidential propaganda unit. It went like

Breaking: Presidency Confirms Buhari Is Sick, To Be Treated In London Hospital

Philips Sunday

Abuja, (AN24) – President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday, June 6, 2016, depart the country for London where he is expected to be treated for ear infection.

This was contained in a statement issued by Femi Adesina, Special adviser to the president on Media and publicity on Sunday. The president is believed to be suffering from an infection in his left ear, otherwise called Meniere Disease, a challenge which has drastically reduced his outings in the last one week. As a result of the infection, the president now suffers hearing impairment and routinely complains of severe pains and unusual sounds from that ear.

According to the statement, “President Muhammadu Buhari will take 10 days off and travel to London on Monday 6th to rest. “During the period, he will see an E.N.T specialist for a persistent ear infection. “The President was examined by his personal physician and E.N.T specialist in Abuja and was treated. “Both Nigerian doctors recommend further evaluation purely as a precaution”...

followed by an alternative from elsewhere thus

President Muhammadu Buhari has been diagnosed with cancer, according to sources at the London hospital where he reportedly underwent medical check-up.

The Nigerian leader arrived in London on Monday (June 6) on a 10-day vacation, his Spokesman Femi Adesina announcing a day in advance: “During the holiday, he will see an E.N.T. specialist for a persistent ear infection. The President was examined by his Personal Physician and an E.N.T Specialist in Abuja and was treated. Both Nigerian doctors recommended further evaluation purely as a precaution.”

A source told News Express this morning: “President Buhari went for check-up hours after he arrived in London. The hospital has discovered the cause of Mr President’s illness to be cancer of the ear and brain. Let us start praying.”

I thought of the famous cancer of Hugo Chavez. Latin American grapevines are singing.

When the truth is not forthcoming from power, and it rarely does, being always classified, power being inherently paranoid, one can always work from precedents: historical power struggle precedents, and we are well supplied in history. History does repeat itself of course, even if not verbatim! But when it comes to the ruthlessness of power struggles, I go for verbatim repeats! Like murder. Diem, Lumumba, Arbenz, Kennedy, Tutankhamun, Chavez. An inexhaustible list!

With the kind of stakes involved in the corruption racket in Nigeria, who says a doctor can not be bribed in London to put paid to the recovery prospects of the frugal General? –--My first question of course had been to ascertain, from Nigerians themselves, the true reason for the flight of the aging commander in chief to London for medical attention. Were Nigerian doctors that mediocre, or had the president been medically hit, and was already half a corpse being rushed to detoxification abroad!?

NB: following a massive confiscation of prime real estate from state gangsters, the federal government is set to relocate offices from some posh rentals owned by the who is who in Naijaland. Such an act of blatant economic asphyxiation is motive enough for murder! It is like 'nationalisation', the dispossession of an old aristocratic elite without compensation!

Check this out, remembering the term SECUROCRAT!, (and of course, that legal clauses insist public accountants have no business poking their noses in Security-related expenditures!) The word is BINGO! The Lottery lives here at security house, Uhuru Kenyatta was famously right to weep so in public. Forget Mozambique, lets us peep at the Oga's across the continent.

The properties, which were seized in the Ikoyi, Ikeja GRA and Badagry areas of Lagos State, allegedly belonged to Amosu; the immediate past Chief of Accounts and Budgeting of the Nigerian Air Force, Air Vice Marshal J.B. Adigun; and Air Commodore O. O. Gbadebo, who was the Director of Finance and Budget at NAF.

A senior EFCC official, who did not want his name in print, told our correspondent that the suspects and others were cooperating fully with the anti-graft agency.

“We have sealed a block of 12 luxury flats, located on Agodogba Street, Park View Estate, Ikoyi, belonging to Adigun. It is worth over N1.7bn. The same Adigun also owns another block of luxury flats on Sinari Daranijo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos. It is worth N1.8bn.

“A parcel of land, located on Bourdillon Drive, Ikoyi, worth N908m, belonging to Adigun has also been seized by the EFCC

He added, “Amosu confessed to owning an ultra-modern hospital on Adeniyi Jones Avenue in Ikeja. The hospital, St Solomon Health Care Limited, which is worth about N85m, has been sealed off.
“A house located on Adeyemo Alakija Street, GRA Ikeja, near the Ghanaian High Commission, which belongs to Amosu has also been sealed. It is worth over N200m.

Amosu and over 10 senior officers are being probed by the EFCC as part of investigations into the $2.1bn arms scam, especially in relation to the 10 contracts of the NAF, said to be worth $930,500,690.00.

On Monday, the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (retd.), was detained by the anti-graft agency.

This is what is meant by the concept of a working day is extinct amongst the tropical gangster elite. Who needs to work to be a multi-millionaire? Flip side: parasites no Miranda need be read to, like those enemy combatants sent to Guantamo Bay at the leisure of POTUS. These Afro-Securocrats are mutants off humanity!

Federal Government to use seized properties as offices

Abuja: June 11, 2016

The Federal Government had last Saturday released the list of recovered loot made between May 29, 2015 and May 25, 2016 with the document containing a total of 182 completed buildings and one uncompleted building.

A breakdown of the buildings showed that 33 buildings were recovered by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, 146 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and four by the Office of the National Security Adviser.

The minister, while lamenting the huge cost being incurred by the government on residential and office buildings, said that between 2012 and 2014, an average yearly sum of N3.55bn was spent on rent by the government.

That is an easy, risk-free pile of cash to kill for. So when Buhari is sick, the Hypocratus oath of doctors is not my rock of ublemished trust: No?
'No,' I was told by my Oga brother, 'Oga doctors are not mediocre. But they are corrupt enough to be bribed by corruption cartels to bend Buhari to sleep forever! You see the General re-appointed Magu, that godam*ned busy bee who makes a hive up every looter's colon! Stinging all the way to the duodenum!'

'Magu who!? Magu what!?' I asked (remembering with a hollow feeling in my belly my tribesman Raila Odinga did not fight for John Githong'o's re-appointment in our own Zamunda!)

'Magu the dry meat which the giant monster of corruption in Nigeria has not been able to swallow nor externally digest to date.'

THE STORY OF IBRAHIM MUSTAFA MAGU-(FULI!) AS AN INSTALMENT OF COMEDY

Act One: THE MATYRDOM SEEKER

I’m ready to die fighting corruption – Magu

Feb 20 2016. by Emmanuel Onani

the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu, has pledged to stake his life in the fight against corruption in the country.
A statement signed by the Commission’s spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, quoted Magu as saying; “I am not afraid of anything. I prefer to die fighting corruption if need be.”
Uwujaren said Magu spoke while receiving a group of lawyers with progressive inclinations who visited him in Lagos on February 18.

Magu added that 133 Senior Lawyers are frustrating the efforts of the commission to prosecute alleged looters, describing such attitude as a conspiracy against the commission. “Some senior Lawyers have joined forces with fraudsters and those who looted our Commonwealth by becoming coaches and technical advisers on how to escape justice”.



Ibrahim Mustafa Magu is an Assistant Commissioner of Police and a staff of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. He was Head of the EFCC’s Economic Governance Unit (EGU) during the tenure of Nuhu Ribadu.

He is a trained financial crime investigator with a solid background in Forensic Accounting. Magu attended the University of Maiduguri where he obtained a Degree in Accountancy. He is also a certified Accountant.
In August 2008, it was alleged that he illegally kept the case files of some high profile politicians who were being investigated by the commission. Ibrahim Mustafa Magu officially took over as the acting Chairman of the EFCC on November 11, 2015.

his rise and rise, and then dismissal, and fall, and fall, all the way to the jails he had intended for the corrupt, is a tragi-comedy of power (NOW repeated in Brazil in the case of the Japanese cop). That fall was broken with the election of Muhammadu Buhari, and up Mustafa Magu has shot again, riding the turbulence the incorruptible Buhari has generated!

It is comedy in real time. But behind the scenes is a life and death struggle. –--A few good men. O Naija movies, tell me a story! A good one. Please not a divisive one like to Ceasar what is his, and to God what is his. Modern Ceasars are winner takes all. All.

NB: I admit to have ten former senior Generals cooperate fully with a police captain investigating them, looking them in the eye and handcuffing them, means there is something in Muhammadu Buhari holding line. And he is half dead. Now, were he full of life then?

Ouru Kenyatta yawa, when I call you a Zamunda cry baby, I got reason. I been checking other villages, to see how beautiful the girls dance!

AND NOW PHILIP KINISU IS BRAIN DAMAGED?

They say, sad to see Wily Mutunga exit the Chief Justice's plums, that he was one of a kind. The likes of learned OtishOtish shed bird-egg sized tears, mitigating that all those funny incidences they caught him up in, do not count a blotch on his clean slate –-O Holy Wily.

Now, I am a heavy-duty detractor and I deliver. Mutunga's judiciary recussed itself from a definition of INTEGRITY as would have been binding under the promulgated new constitution. It was a shameful act of intellectual abdication, moral cowardice, academic paralysis, bureaucratic quislinghood and emotional fraud which guaranteed an implosion of the new constitutional order, back to KANU-esque graft indulgence.

And that is where we are if you ask me. The safety valve is it is at a county near you. Graft is not just far off in the capital city. In any case it is symptomatic of the moral rot at the top/degeneration, that mentally the elite are now incapable of importing the meaning of integrity, unashamedly.

That is where we are with Philip Kinisu now.

I will not resign, says EACC Chairman Philip Kinisu over NYS deals

By Paul Wafula Updated Tue, July 19th 2016

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) chair Philip Kinisu Tuesday came out to fight conflict of interest claims after it merged that a company he owns, and run by his wife, was doing business with National Youth Service (NYS) at the time the Sh791million was lost from the agency.

His firm, Esaki Limited, received Sh35 million for a tender it won in February 2014 to supply materials to dig boreholes in Kapenguria at the height of the scam at NYS. Mr Kinisu dismissed claims that the money was part of the Sh791million lost at NYS as 'outrageous' and being propagated by corruption cartels who have been watching his steps keenly.


This came a day after EACC revealed that an independent team had been formed to investigate the allegations that link him to the NYS scam. EACC says the decision to investigate Esaki was arrived at on July 11, 2016, during a meeting called after preliminary investigations disclosed that the company had indeed transacted with NYS at a time when it was being investigated over the Sh791 million saga.

Let me stop here for the moment and take a detour.

The NYS saga as we saw when we visited top tier law firms Kaplan$Stratton $ Ogolla$Mujeera, was a case with strands which, if we followed the money, would unravel for us how the system works, at the top. Also, it would elucidate just how impossible it is for parasites to lie-pass themselves off for hard-workers, however sophisticated they think they reason

But Philip Kinisu described the allegations that weaken his credibility and touch on his ability to impartially lead an agency investigating his family business as a case of 'corruption fighting back.'

He becomes the latest chairman of EACC to claim cartels were out to finish him after at least his two other predecessors suffered a similar fate. He explained that his company responds to tenders, wins business, performs and is paid for work done. "All contracts between the company and NYS were won and performed prior to my appointment as chairman of EACC," he said adding that there was no law that prevents a Kenyan citizen or company doing business with a government institution.

And Anne Waiguru's storyline too, is uncannily similar

Former Devolution CS Anne Waiguru blames graft cartel for her downfall

By Munene Kamau Updated Mon, July 18th 2016

standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000208956/former-devolution-cs-anne-waiguru-blames-graft-cartel-for-her-downfall



Speaking at Kiamugumo Girls High school, Ms Waiguru said her tribulations did not come as a surprise as she had refused to be part of the corruption cartel and chose to live a life of integrity.

Quoting the Bible frequently in her speech, the former Cabinet secretary said like the Biblical Daniel, who was thrown into a lion's den but God delivered him, so had God delivered her from her persecutors. "I have been to the mountain top, I have been to a very deep valley where there has been good times and very tough times. What have I not gone through?" she asked.

She told teachers and parents a few things had happened since she was last at the school, especially on the international scene. She gave examples of Poland and Namibia which had elected women prime ministers, and Croatia and Taiwan which elected women presidents. "The just ended week we got news that the United Kingdom has a woman Prime Minister (Theresa May) while the United State of America is likely to elect its first female president (Hillary Clinton) in a few months' time. Isn't that something?" she asked.

She said despite the acrimonious exit from Government, she was proud to have been part of the team that broke the ground for many areas including devolution and youth empowerment under the Jubilee administration. School environment When asked to declare if she was indeed joining politics, Waiguru said she would make her decision known outside a school environment.

Asked to comment on whether Waiguru was justified to join politics, Gichugu MP Njogu Barua said elective positions were not a preserve of any gender or individual. "I'm encouraging my sister Anne not to hesitate since time is ripe for her to seek any elective political position come the 2017 General Election," he said. Waiguru said she is now stronger from the nasty experience she went through and is looking forward to rising to even greater things.

Cecilia Mbarire –-she of the ill-fated star-studded Ababu Namwamba led PAC of worms--- added a hilarious pitch in defence of President Kenyatta, when she claimed he could not fight corruption because his excellent hands are tied behind his back, by none other than the constitution! Cicile found it exceedingly unfair, all that hysterical hullabaloo from across the land, that HE needed do more.


cECILE Mbarire: Runyenjes MP: recieved death threats. June 2015

Of course Mr. Kenyatta's hands are tied behind his back. But not by the constitution. Apart from plane mental laziness, he is conflicted. A firm step toward slaying the corruption monster could easily come him face to face with his family business. That is a high enough risk to warrant prudence. This is what Cecile Mbarire knows, but can not put across planely. With cheeky tongue she has dodge around the truth.

But it is not just politicians.

Wherefore I thought like this some time back.

DISCLAIMER:

Should Ogola$$Mujera ask in self-righteous blindness why pick on me, I will beg forgiveness and reassure, I only pick on them for the purposes of an academic explication of an phenomenon, and, further, pragmatic illustration of a prevalent situation. ---You know, like biologists use the fruit fly and the planaria worm a lot to do their teachings on genetics. They have nothing in particular against those two creatures, it is only that they are such good, simple and spectacularly available teaching aids ... (i was desperately trying to avoid the word cheap: 27M for x-mas clothes shopping anywhere don't come from cheap, methinks!)

Then the hot stuff: you see the Ogola$Mujera case study is also a story with many juicy tabloid angles. There is a strand which leads to the former Queen Anne Waiguru. She famously fell over some NYS small change (700M + 500M ksh. approximately) and, while asking for lighter duties from her alleged paramour, in this case the appointing authority, she hired a famous but controversial lawyer who immediately moved to blame the office of the same darling for her woes! Mama Mia!

No kidding. You want links, you get links.

Then there is the Ben Gethi strand. Does it lead to a dynasty founded by the legendary brutal copper, or is that a fairy tale, and merely coincidence of names!?

Read more: jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/9368/njoroge-politics-central-bank-imf#ixzz4EeGd5BF8 ..

Whether it is Ben Gethi shopping –---via legal friends---- a 27M worth of clothes in Hong Kong, or Josephine Kabura becoming a bilionare in two weeks of hair-dressing Anne Waiguru, or the modern Mugo Mutahi Ngunyi earning 40M for an afternoon of consultancy on a toilet in Kibera to embarrass Raila, or the ace Tom Ojienda tying up everybody's tongue on behalf of Evans Kidero with respect to Mumias, whatever they say in their cleverness, their words are the type they say: even a parrot bothers not take serious enough to repeat!

Sorry, actually the ethics and anti-corruption commission believed them and, scripting bales of gobbledygook, advised Tobiko to bite the bullet and swallow: no case to answer! Howbeit right on cue too, the investigating cops --like Mugwanja-- of the fraud unit agreed: No case to answer!

That was the first take of the EACC!

Waiguru was cleared. Prematurely it would appear. Communication breakdown between departments, leading to 'misunderstandings' of sums.

Now we have a clearer clue. --ESAKI

www.nation.co.ke/news/EACC-boss-firm-sucked-into-NYS-scandal/-/1056/3297840/-/6x1ajxz/-/index.html

The chairman of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission owns a company which was awarded tenders worth millions of shillings by the controversy-riddled National Youth Service.

Esaki Limited was paid a total of Sh35,417,209 for the supply of various items to NYS between October 2014 and November 2015.

Civil society groups have accused the EACC of dragging its feet on the NYS investigation. Last month, Bunge La Mwananchi wrote to EACC’s CEO Halakhe Waqo demanding investigations into the dealings of Esaki.

Mr Kinisu dismissed this plea saying some “crooks” who he did not name were out to embarrass him and to slow down the fight against graft.

“Is it wrong for any Kenyan to do business with government? My wife has worked hard for these contracts and it is bad to demonise her for it,” he said.

Philip Kinisu is practically brain dead. He never heard of conflict of interest. Or he did, but can not recognise it when it is sitting at his table, or his head deep in the feast!

I am sure he will regain his senses. Even the self can not be fooled forever. Check out how they at the EACC came back on the Waiguru clean bill of health

See there! There is hope! Philip Kinisu has a learning curve! He is just dim-witted, not brain dead! Huraa!

It is important to keep this kind of chicanery in open records. One never knows when a man of action might ascend.

Meanwhile Mr. Kenyatta's hands continue to be tied behind his back! –--Cecile, you know that legend of Alexander the Great and the Gordian knot!? Be thy not our heroine who untied Ouru, and unleashed him on the beast of corruption?

THE ANGEL PHILIP KINISU: HOW THE ANIMALS CONTINUED DIGGING WHILE IN A HOLE


Kinisu picture.

Once upon a time in the jungle, the animals had a problem. As all slept, the sugar kept on disappearing from the store, and no sentry however fierce seemed able to resist sweet sleep at the supreme moment. sugarless uji continued to irritate the animals, but unlike their crazed daughters and sons with school dormitories, the adult animals were too mature to contemplate burning the forest, yet.

After many trials of lions, elephants, doves, hawks, snakes, every tribe of beast officially known to be lethal as a watchman, the great office of top dog was deemed to have found the a real lion to roar and be heard.

Indeed it was, officially as usual in the adverts window, a genuine item (for those who easily fall for salesman talk). Nobody could possiblly have issues with Mr. Kenyatta for anointing Philip Kinisu ---except of course the beastly detractors who know Maasais make the best watchmen. These detractors laughed and said, wait and see, Kinisu aint no Maa like the legend John Githong'o!

Uhuru nominates Kinisu to head EACC

www.the-star.co.ke/news/2015/11/24/ex-pwc-boss-philip-kinisu-nominated-for-eacc-chair_c1248024

President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday nominated former PricewaterhouseCoopers Africa chairman Philip Kinisu to head the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
At PwC Africa, where he has been for the last 37 years, Kinisu has held the position of senior partner, CEO and chairman.

During his tenure as CEO until 2012, he had oversight over nine countries as senior partner, PwC Africa Central. And as the chairman of the PwC Africa Board until 2014, he oversaw the firm's businesses in 16 countries.

Last month, Barclays Bank of Kenya appointed Kinisu to its Board as a non-executive director who is also non-executive vice-chairman of the Africa Population, Health and Research Centre.

Kinisu is a Certified Public Accountant and a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. He also holds a Bachelor of Commerce (First Class Honours) degree from the University of Nairobi.

The President also nominated Dabar Maalim, Paul Mwaniki, Sophia Lepuchirit and Rose Mghoi as Commissioners of the EACC.

Maalim is a member of the Transition Authority while Mghoi is the director of Management Services at the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution.
Lepuchirit sits on the ICDC Board and was a member of the National Anti-Corruption Campaign Steering Committee between 2004 and 2014.

Mwaniki is a senior lawyer and a former chairman of the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board.
Uhuru sent the names to the National Assembly yesterday, through Speaker Justin Muturi, for vetting.
According to the EACC Act, Parliament has 21 days from when the Speaker tables the names to vet and approve or reject any or all the names.

The National Assembly goes on recess next week and is expected back in February and may have to be recalled to deal with the nominations.

The EACC has operated without commissioners following the dramatic resignation of an entire team led by the then chairman Mumo Matemu.
Commissioners Jane Onsongo and Irene Keino resigned on March 31 and April 30 respectively, while Matemu threw in the towel on May 12.

The three resigned to avoid facing a tribunal formed by Uhuru to investigate their conduct.
In July, Parliament amended the EACC Act to expand the membership of the commission from three to five.

But as the cliche goes, reality is harsh, and fakes will be flushed out quick.

An oceanic champion swimmer must easily conquer a domestic swimming pool.

Howbeit it a BARCLAYS BANK DELEGATED and the former PricewaterhouseCoopers Africa chairman who had oversight over 9 countries for so many years drowns faster in the pond, than a wildebeest caught by leviathan crocs in a deep rive crossing?

EACC commissioners ask Kinisu to resign over family business probe

By Cyrus Ombati . July 28th 2016

www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000210116/eacc-commissioners-ask-kinisu-to-resign-over-family-business-probe

Nairobi: Pressure continued to mount on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission boss Philip Kinisu with his fellow commissioners asking him to step aside over a probe on his family company.
They want him to step aside without being suspended as per the law. This is in connection with ongoing investigations into how his family company Esaki Limited won government tenders worth millions of shillings at the National Youth Service.

Four commissioners and the CEO issued a statement urging Kinisu to step aside to allow the probe because his personal interests are in apparent conflict with those of the public in respect to the investigations.

The commissioners reiterated the need to enforce compliance with the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution, Leadership and Integrity Act and EACC Code of Conduct.

personal interests are in apparent conflict with ?

This 'apparent conflict' the mighty commissioners only discovered yesterday after the story broke in the media! --aha!

Same story Boinnet ordering JKIA OCPD to arrest Koffi Olomide AFTER the media reported massive OUTRAGE!

Gotta know your country. better know how brain-death operates at the top, and how rescuscitation works!

PHILIP KINISU'S ESAKI DID A JOSEPHINE KABURA, ONLY DOUBLE TIME FASTER!

Now the following you can not make it up. Not the event itself, but the fact that the former 9-year chairman of PriceCooperWaterhouse DOES NOT RECOGNISE THE CHALLENGED ETHICS!

EACC boss Kinisu’s firm got Sh150m for malaria insecticides
Jul. 27, 2016. By DOMINIC WABALA

picture; EACC Chairman Philip Kinisu

A company associated with Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission chairman Philip Kinisu (pictured) has been implicated in a Sh150 million suspect government tender.
Investigations have established Esaki Ltd was hurriedly awarded a tender to supply malaria control insecticides, despite being issued with a pesticide licence a day before opening of the tender and after the tendering had been closed.

Documents seen by the Star show Esaki, associated with Kinisu, his wife Mary Wanjiru and their daughter, was paid Sh150,123,120 to supply the insecticides.

They were to be used for indoor residual spraying in Awendo and Rongo subcounties in Migori.
According to the documents, the Malaria Control Unit awarded Esaki tender MOH/DCDP/MCU/007/GF-RT/2014-2015 for supply and delivery of pirimiphos methyl 300 capsules.
Esaki applied for and was awarded pest control licence No 32951 on March 23, 2015, a day before the opening of the tender on March 24, 2015.

150M to a company whose bid was LATE ON THE TENDER, and, two, tender issued to the same BEFORE the official OPENING!

And the company is Owned by none other than the PRICE WINNING AUDITOR SUPREME OF 9 AFRICAN COUNTRIES! and now the one to kill the beat of corruption!


Eh! Africa Yawa! These prices your brilant sons and daughters win! –--Waiguru won one, Queen of NYS graft she is; CBK Njugunah Ndung'u won another, his successor Njoroge is up all night cleaning the mess the moral creep left behind!

Yawa Africa! You see why your youth are burning schools!? They want to go and study and win prices abroad where the CREDIBILITY of a price may be old fashioned, that is, worth a dime. –--Kudos to the founder of CELTEL, Mo Ibrahim who, when only garbage show up, keeps the price unawarded in the store. Better none than a zero.

Now --just like at the IEBC chicken den of Hassan--- we are stuck with our fake lion Philip Kinisu at EACC. The great Philip hope seems to have been a mere apparition, a hologram trick. We foerver chose the guardian of graft to fight the same, choose a painted over fake for an original! adopt a status quo-player to change things –---Kinisu is perfect for a sham racket, which is why the corrupt elites of our region accepted his oversight for all those many years.

Methinks the corrupt elites recognising a proven asset, pulled the ruse of awarding him the price, thus building up his CV –---promoting the wolf in sheepskin to the ever higher glory of looking after the penned Kenyan sheep.
(Even the Nation's Jaindi Kisero added insult to injury by writing a blurb singing the praises of Kinisu, citing the price as a huge claw to maul graft! And all that with all this data in the Newspapers' database! Huh!? who is fooling who!)

Could the veteran watchdog and cooked-books top sleuth Kinisu have failed the THINK in both cases, NYS and Malaria Nets for Migori in his pocket, that these were deals which stunk to the heavens!? Imagine his mental state if the answer is yes, he did not see it!

But my considered answer is NO, he did not fail the Think. He knew very well these were corrupt deals, he knew unquestionably the NYS transactions were under investigation, and his family in the mix, ala Josephine Kabura the infamous hairdresser. But he could not care less, could he? because, who cares, IMPUNITY RULES, and he would get away with it. --Like he did with the rigged tender of Malaria supplies for Migori!

That was just the template, how it had been all those years he was at the top of book keeping in Kenya, East Africa and beyond. Business as usual.

But now something has gone wrong. May be he failed to kick back the negotiated percentages, or failed to pay up blackmail fees.

But the joke is on President Ouru Kenyatta. The prezzo is the guy in the fools corner. Unless of course it was deliberate action on the part of the president, picking up a rotting boil soon to burst pus in his face.

I think it was a calculated risk. The best option under the circumstances.

The president has all these information gathering services at his beck and call. He would have prudently gone by elementary protocol. He would have asked Githu Muigai or Njee Muturi for ditches ahead on Kinisu. AG Githu Muigai would have held line until he contacted CID maestro Ndegwa Muhooro and his Intelligence counterpart Major General Waweru.

Waweru and Muhooro, if interested in giving the President quality intel, would have not redacted the sh!t. They would have briefed Githu Muigai thus: 'Philip Kinisu is not officially under investigation, but he comes up in the NYS files as a third party. His family company is a laundering post. The same company is also a bit like Josephine Kabura's, formed with the express goal of getting government tenders, and the ink was not yet dry at the registrars, and the operating account barely open, than millions already stashed in! That is a definition of Wily Mutunga's bandit economy, but that is normal here at the top.

'The problem will be if his fellow commissioners start blackmailing him and he refuses to pay up. Then do we evaluate he will be a liability.'

And professor Githu Muigai, showing why he is consiglieri, would have then asked Don Muigai wa Jomo point blank: 'Think of it like this, Mr. President, are our interests of the presidency best served by a corrupted, compromised head of the EACC, or by a honest guy who will get the job done like John Githong'o!?'

The son of Jomo would have instinctively perceived the professos lesson, and thought about his re-election, and the deputy (or co) president popularly known as Singh. A John Githong'o would bust him, and the presidency, and the possible Kalenjin rage in backlash would be ugly.

'Our presidency needs a corrupted and corruptible man!' became the most logical but unspoken conclusion. –-And so we are here. Harun Mwau, PLO, Matemu .... a way of doing absolutely nothing.

These things do not happen by happenstance. I like to operate from the premise EVERYBODY IS CLEVER, and no decision is taken lightly. The results may be stupid and pathetic, but the decisions and the thought processes governing them are understandable, human and logical. Logical, even inevitable within the political paradigm and economic parameters within which they must be made.

It is not that Uhuru Kenyatta has given up on corruption, it is just that HE CAN NEVER FIGHT Corruption. It would be political suicide. The rest is thus perfunctiory tokenism.

And neither is Muigai the stuff of class suicide. No, he is conservative and status quoist. Him and Ruto were against the new constitution. Ruto more openly and honestly. This honesty may just be why Jubilee is popular. They do not have to pretend that much.

The opposition have to do a full-throttled act of pretence. Problem is every idiot can look at the counties run by the opposition and witness pure blood looters the twins of Jubilee. Why change a winning team!?

Better wait for the genuine thing! asks cynical Kenyans.

Otish, when it comes to corruption, I have no doubt Uhuru Kenyatta is a joke. The argument can only be whether he is a devious and wholly willing team player in the game of graft, or whether he is a hapless imbecile held hostage and, so fearful, domesticated and surrendered, he will not even make a token effort to bare a fang at Corruption, nor snarl at the corrupt.

How can I be so sure the president is a joke on this?

Simple: I pause to think and narrow down on a particular situation. This was a crisis when his presidency was like on the line. And on that day did he rise to the challenge; he was resourceful, resolute and successful, and he showed excellent judgement. –--By thunder he did!

He chose the best warrior and let the warrior do his death duel!

It is a tricky story. Uhuru's genius lay in the recognition he needed to shut up and do as he was told. His auspice as the sovereign of Kenya was worth sh!t in this particular case, but, at first, it was not clear he could accept being that humbled to a mono: seen and not heard. –--You know how top-down ace Qcs like Kay are on the job. The take it or leave it rule is 'I do the thinking, I do the talking, I do the strategising, and you, Your Excellency the client, only does the obeying and paying. Period!'

And it came to pass that his Excellency had the grace, catalysed by raw desperateness of course, to have the situation thus handled. And Kay showed his mettle.

Bensouda –-the woman Kamalet likes to disparage as Fatso---- no doubt thought she had laid a harsh, foolproof trap for the Kenyan indictee. But QC Kay proved himself a man of many wiles, and came up with that Divinity Trick.

Some will remember how the son of Jomo resigned the presidency for 24 hours, became a commoner like every other chicken thief in the village, honoured the summons to the Hague, and soon jetted back to pick up his Muthamaki regalia at the airport named after his father. –-Well, we can also muse William Ruto who, in the meantime, had promoted to His Excellency, reluctantly, painfully and sadly, surrendered the reigns of power back to their rightful owner! It was an act of great nobility, civility and loyalty, and it shows Uhuru Kenyatta will campaign for William Ruto to succeed him, if he does his own thinking.

Anyway the nation went gaga in nationalist hullabaloo as the humble sovereign, now reinstated in full vigour, did a victory lap through the jubilant streets of the capital. Even professional detractors of Muigai like Kamalet the Okuyu, joined perennial jubilee cheerboys like yours truly in nationalist hysteria. Indeed, ever since CMG Argwings Kodhek with a technicality stunned the colonial court into untying the noose around several Mau Mau convicts, never had a lawyer come up with such an audacious, Odysseus-like knavery on behalf of a black Kenyan, as QC Kay did!

Yes, when a man goes to work, it shows, just like laziness and negligence too is unmistakable. And so I come to Githu Muigai and his many noises about fighting corruption, reclaiming looted government property, confiscating cash and or freezing laundering accounts. By official blurb, Githu Muigai is as sharp as it gets, an ace lawyer and all, and the professorship is not fake.

But what has our ace legal brain achieved as AG, chief state counsel? Imagine the strike force he and the gone Wily Mutunga would have been, had they gone to work like QC Kay!

This is what I took a long time to think about. Dr. Wily Mutunga and Prof. Githu Muigai moving on corruption at the level of QC Kay moving on Bensouda and her ICC! –-Alas, these two brainy Kenyans are like the famous saying: you can take an impotent man to an open day at the brothel, but he will still die a virgin! –-moral man that he is!

There is no record Uhuru Kenyatta hindered Githu Muigai and Wily Mutuga from getting on with it.

NB: I checked how administrators go to work when they mean business too. I came across a young ambitious prosecutor in new York, his name Rudi Giuliani.

Rudy Giuliani says mafia put $800,000 bounty on his head – but ex-New York mayor admits Islamist terrorists scare him more than the mob

69-year-old was a successful anti-mafia lawyer before entering politics ----John Hall@johnmatthewhall
Thursday 28 November 2013

He refused to bow before the mafia. They put a bounty on his head. He shrugged and decided to respond by making a high-flying career riding the mob in. And he did, all the way to New York mayor. His single claim to fame was he did not blink before the mob's gaze. --Don't know how much of a lion-killing moran is within Keriako Tobiko though! any bets!?

That is the sh!it in life. For men it is not education, or even formal power that does it. It works out to balls. A man must have the balls to fight evil; the balls to stand up and fight a fight for what one is paid to do! So if the president of the republic is not standing up to be counted fighting corruption which is the national bane, the answer why could be as simple as the old folk wisdom. He just aint got the balls, and none in his team neither!

Uhuru Kenyatta is too rich to take a bribe from these --NYS, Imperial Banks, KAA, NSSSF, ....--- pick pockets around Nairobi, no!?

THE PHILIP KINISU COMEDY SHOW CONTINUED

Kenya EACC Chairman Philip Kinisu quizzed for altering statement

By Daniel Psirmoi Updated Fri, August 26th 2016

Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Chairman Philip Kinisu has admitted giving a probe team conflicting information.

Mr Kinisu has admitted that the accounts he presented to a parliamentary committee investigating him did not add up.

The EACC boss is being grilled over his relationship with a company associated with his family, which transacted business with the National Youth Service (NYS). Mr Kinisu explained to members of the National Assembly Justice and Legal Affairs committee that he resigned as a director of Esaki Limited in April 2016, and not 2008 as he had earlier stated.

Committee Chairman Samuel Chepkonga noted the inconsistency in the statement of the EACC boss and took him to task as to why he had changed an earlier statement filed before his team regarding when he resigned. "In your last appearance before this committee you gave us documents stating that you resigned in 2008, you never mentioned you resigned as a director and shareholder in April 19, 2016. Which one do we believe? "posed Mr Chepkonga.

Kinisu defended himself, explaining that the documents he presented before the committee two weeks in the company of EACC commissioners, was what he had at that time. He claims to have rejoined the company in 2013 before resigning in 2016.

I used to enjoy some undercooled Perry Mason Banter in court, just after detective Paul Drake had slipped him a piece of paper as his case appeared to come apart before a pissed off Judge. His face still on poker after glancing at the new info, the high stakes gambler lawyer would allow himself a moment of cheek, addressing the culprit still confident in his supposed foolproof alibi.

'It would appear you were at two different places at the same time. I could be mistaken, you could be mistaken. To clear this up, I will re-direct my cross examination. If you were at home at xxx time, xyz date, what were you doing 15km away from your home at exactly the same time?'

Notice the subtle Mason is not providing proof of anything, he is just raising the stakes. He knows Paul Drake is impeccable and the liar and his goose are as good as cooked, but Perry does love liars frying in their own fat oil.

Listening to Chepkonga goad Philip Kinisu, I was reminded of this cat and mouse game ala Perry Mason, where the cat is already sure how the game ends but the rat is still full of heroic if furtive spiritedness.

"In your last appearance before this committee you gave us documents stating that you resigned in 2008, you never mentioned you resigned as a director and shareholder in April 19, 2016. Which one do we believe? "posed Mr Chepkonga.

A top eel can be very slippery. That is just the nature of top eels, even when they are ridiculous.

We take a look at the pinned eel dancing its death dance, oblivious to the appetised amusement of onlookers.

Kinisu defended himself, explaining that the documents he presented before the committee two weeks in the company of EACC commissioners, was what he had at that time. He claims to have rejoined the company in 2013 before resigning in 2016.

again!?

But Chepkonga and everybody else knows about the concept of SHADOW DIRECTOR, and the maligned new constitution anticipated such eels. And of course we know of the looters of Nigeria who have no directorships in their companies! --Front is the word, FRONT COMPANY. And not even much of a front, since a peruse at the names of owners and directors reveal wives, girlfriends, sons and daughters and relatives of the looter Generals of Nigeria!

Impunity celebrated when criminals do not even bother to cover their tracks a centimeter deep! and so in Kenya too.

The recently enacted (in 2015) Companies Act defines a director to include "any person in accordance with whose directions or instructions (not being advice given in a professional capacity) the directors of a body [corporate] are accustomed to act".

Wololo Mayie yawa! 'resignation as a gimmick revealed'! and –-Lord forbid--- I do not mean to belittle William Ruto's presidency in the 24-hours Muigai resigned to attend Bensouda's hysterics at the Hague!

A Kenyan saw through Philip Kinisu's silly gimmick and elaborates with subtle disdain at the arrogant, now writhing eel.

Upon resignation, one merely ceases to be a de jure director. Resignation may therefore be too simplistic a criterion to determine whether or not a person "calls the shots" in a particular company. Those carrying out the relevant investigations may need to go beyond the formal act of resignation in a bid to establish whether, resignation notwithstanding, one could be said to have continued to play the role of a director, albeit in the "shadows".

And much more detailed

Kinisu's woes and role of 'shadow' director

By Jackline Nyaga Updated Wed, August 17th 2016

Mr Kinusu has sought to absolve himself from any real or perceived allegations of conflict of interest, arguing that he had resigned as a director of Esaki Ltd long before he assumed his responsibilities at EACC.

Being fully aware that certain aspects of this matter are currently making their way through the courts and thus the need to avoid running afoul of the sub judice rule, this piece will stay clear of the specifics of Mr Kinisu's case. Instead, the piece will seek to highlight, very generally, the concept of shadow director and its relevance in any inquiry which seeks to establish whether or not a person was, at any given time, a director of a company.

The recently enacted (in 2015) Companies Act defines a director to include "any person in accordance with whose directions or instructions (not being advice given in a professional capacity) the directors of a body [corporate] are accustomed to act".

READ MORE Lobby calls for disbandment of EACC
–-EACC chiefs differ before House team
–--Bring to book those stealing public funds from Kenyans

This is the statutory expression of the concept of shadow director. In general legal terms therefore, a shadow director would be anyone who, though not one of the company's "legal" directors, nonetheless, indirectly "calls the shots" in a company.

In the UK case of Re Hydrodan (Corby) Ltd [1994] BCC 162 it was clarified that a shadow director "lurks in the shadows, sheltering behind others who, he [or she] claims are the only directors of the company to the exclusion of himself or herself". However, one will not be regarded as a shadow director merely because he or she offers professional advice to the directors. Other than shadow directors, the law also recognises two other broad categories of directors: de jure; and de facto directors.

A de jure director is one who is validly appointed or elected as a director. This is, so to speak, the company's "legal" director (or director at law) and his or her status as director is usually acknowledged by the company. A de facto director on the other hand purports to be a director without having been validly appointed or elected as such.

NB: I have been following the court cases and legal prowesses availed in the anti-corruption cases in Nigeria since Buhari re-appointed Ibrahim Magu, a young Giuliani like fearless rogue. –--I will find time to highlight the epic case of former Rivers State governor Odili. Honestly I was planning to do it as a joke in the Luo pivot thread, when I realised the lawyer, Professor Ojienda, on behalf of the Great Evans Kidero, our 2022 pitch, was straight out of Naija movies live shot! I was going to shout: Folks! Prepare for a legal innovation! A permanent legal injunction, Oga patented.

–- (perpetual injunction!)

Here is a peek at the precedent I had in store for the people of the lake: the case of Dr. Odili.

Ibrahim Magu's official title is: chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of Nigeria. You could say he is the John Githong'o of that leaking oil depot aka Nairaland.


Magu says there is a perpetual injunction restraining EFCC from probing Odili.

2016: Why EFCC is yet to Prosecute Odili –

Magu Kess Ewubare

– EFCC laments that court injunctions have hindered the commission from carrying out its duties –

Peter Odili’s case began in January 2007 when the EFCC issued a report of its investigation into the finances of the Rivers state government – The case has been stalled since Justice Ibrahim Buba granted a perpetual injunction restraining the EFCC from probing Odili nor his accounts

Kenya too has an Ibrahim nicknamed The Camel! Our Ibrahims –-even Warsame the one who killed the vetting board are now reformed, but even in their worst days as Sauls, I think the still wouldn't compete Oga brother justice, Ibrahim Buba!

Perpetual injunction! Case closed forever! –-I just had to go and read the legal fireworks written to sustain such a 'security clause'! I am aware there are state secrets for instance in the USA, CIA files, which wont be opened until 3070! But that is still nothing compared to the Book of the Dead in Rameses the Great's tomb which should not be opened forever!

Anyway, Philip Kinisu should have left the lying to a professional. Or he should have had himself better coached. The report on the street is he was still officially the director of ESAKU when the NYS loot was laundered through its accounts. I am sure some cheeky Paul Drake had dropped this info into Chepkonga's lap. And Chepkonga being Chepkonga, toying around with Philip Kinisu amuses him some. Cat pawing a trapped rat.

But I prefer Mwai Kibaki terminology. –-What a sad goat, this Philip Kinisu. And then the bunch of goats who head-hunted him, vetted him and catapulted him to the fall-guy meat-grinder!

Good result! EACC is always lame, tame and ineffective. It is a PERMANENT INJUNCTION on the corruption fight!

Or did Ouru Kenyatta think anybody is fooled!?

I recommend Naija movies live! Now for all Kenyans, not just people of the lake!

[jakaswanga]

Kinisu: QUIXOTE'S CHEEK!

I deductively operate from the premise Uhuru Kenyatta is in the know of all these foot-dragging and economic sabotage games, which is why in a moment of candour, he termed corruption a threat to national security. But that he continues to sanction impunity –--otherwise how else do we explain the rampancy of corruption and vice in the republic---- means His Highness is just jovially playing royal games in the nature of power, and expediency.

But just for the sake of argument, imagine for a moment that His Highness is really surprised the EACC is so dysfunctional, so much dysfunctional as to have 3 CEO's in a year, the last of which is more rotten than the former, and, more so, the fight is crippled by a quorumless board after the Onsongo's and Keino's were forced out as commissioners, all under his watch! –--What picture would this cut of a president!? a national CEO! Would that not surely be too stupid a head to be believable? So I contend honourable Muigai fancies himself a political Maradona, or Lionel Messi these days, running rings around folks and fooling them with unreadable body dances on the way to yet another cup. Rest is to say the only game politicians can not win is that of fooling all the people all the time. Some reggae man I believe sung such a song in a fit of highness. But mentally clear he was, more than these lads on a power trip, or other politicians anywhere whose propagandist spinners convince their sh!t is irresistible perfume!

Mjaka....

Thank you for keeping this forum alive after we all seemed to have taken a sabbatical as we await the heated political debates that resurrect the forum.

On this Kinisu saga, you must feel sorry for the son of Jomo as the constitution shows him the middle finger on how neutered he is as a president and cannot do a Magufuli and get away with it!!

For someone that has had an engagement with Phil Kinisu, I honestly feel sorry for him - the public lynching- but even more sorry for our country which is determined not to win the war on corruption! We have allowed the corruption cartels to eat up a man who would have helped and in our ignorance have cheered on as the bloodhounds went for the jugular.

Kinisu does not lose - Kenya loses!!

[jakaswanga]

Kamalet,

Surely you are aware of the contradictory statements the erstwhile chair of the EACC gave before an amused panel of Mpigs and, later, his very lame excuse! That does more than adequately balance out the 'lynch mob'!

Sometimes a man is his own worst enemy!

But surely, President Kenyatta's hands were not so tied that he could not ask, are there any skeletons in the man's cupboard which, hells loose, that man from CORD will use against me?

That ESAKI did business with the NYS was already an elephant in the cupboard, trunk farting merrily away!

HE Muigai must not be let himself be so emasculated by negligent adjutants, some with loyalties elsewhere. He must trust and go to the people to explain his predicaments. The people will be responsive to a president deemed fighting their corner. As it is, Muigai's wails of incapacitation will just provoke derision!

NB: jukwaa indeed has been a lonely place for yours truly of late, but I mind the shop in the firm belief business will pick up again, soon as the season tolls, that season you aptly pointed out!

I should have added that his inconsistency did not help him. In politics trying to be academic and thinking Kenyans are fools does not help. He could have gone straight faced and confirm he was involved with Esaki and that there is no crime in doing business with NYS as long as the deal is clean and is not subject to any investigation. Which is why one would ask why Junet is still an MP and yet he did business with NYS (including a rumoured payment where an extra zero was added to his invoice and he accepted the payment) as are many others!

[jakaswanga]

FUMBLING AND BUMBLING in OFFICE

Strangely, Kamalet, HE Muigai didn't feel the infamous shackles when, recently in a commisionin campaign in Mombasa, he directed policeman Boinnet to launch a new anti-cargo-theft unit at the coastal gateway. In the light of such public and much publicised robust chest thumps, when, else where, others reason Uhuru is a cripple, the constitution to blame, a note of disingenuity always overbears the rest of the reasoning.

It appears Kenyatta II picks his moments to be robust with vintage duplicitous care, wherefore his anti corruption efforts can adequately be described as ad-hoc convulsions if quixotic malfunctions of another feeble African head of state, negligent at oath, magnificent at lip service.

PASSING THE BUCK

The buck is out there, being passed around like a fresh piece of c-unt in a brothel. It is a brutal moment of honesty at the top! Uhuru Kenyatta got beat by Keiser Szoze and surrendered long ago.

Here speaking below is a soft-head of a commander in chief if ever there was one! And we know how Africa is full of soft heads at the top. Joseph Kabila is another one, neither does Jacob Zuma look like a bold head taking his nation anywhere but down! Which can also be said of Burundi's Nkurunziza if not S'Sudan's Salva Kiir. Still, Kenya's entry into the big league of African soft-headed heads of state is vintage ace!

I really wonder whether William Ruto, Singh he be, would be this clueless!

Frustrated Uhuru scolds state officials on rampant corruption

Oct. 18, 2016. By NANCY AGUTU @nancyagutu

President Uhuru Kenyatta has scolded government officials over rampant corruption saying
the situation is frustrating.
Uhuru told the accountability summit at State House in Nairobi that officials do not want to deal with the issue in courts and the judiciary.
"Corruption is frustrating me. The pressure is on me to do something about corruption but my hands are tied," he said on Tuesday.

"Tell me... Which administration has dealt with the issue of corruption like my administration since independence?"

The President said it was not he, but the people he was addressing, who harbour corruption.
He said graft has turned into a political circus and that those charged with fighting it say they do have resources.

He dismissed their complaint saying he has given all the resources needed and taken actions based on the constitution, including firing even those who insist they are innocent.
"Are we being serious or you are just joking with Kenyan? I have removed everybody who has ever been named on corruption. I have done my part," he said.

"The rule of law means the guilty should pay the price. Do you want me to set up an execution squad at Uhuru Park to fire people?"

Read: Uhuru acts on corruption

Uhuru noted it is in every Kenyan's interest for progress to be made and solutions found, to problems laid bare.

He described the rhetoric of ongoing investigations as "nonsense" saying whoever is responsible for corruption, even if is IG Joseph Boinnet, should be prosecuted.
"I have done my part at great political expense also," he said, exclaiming in his mother tongue at one point.

"What do you want me to do? We have the Auditor General speaking of the issue of Eurobond... I cannot sack you... If the money was stolen say it as it is," he said.

Last year, the President declared corruption "a national security threat" and urged the DPP, the EACC, judiciary, Parliament, the private sector and all Kenyans to "rally around the path of transformation".
He further urged religious leaders to "declare corruption a sin against God and humanity" and help fight in the fight against it.

And today that is the pillow where the soft head of his Excellency finds lay!

"Corruption is frustrating me. The pressure is on me to do something about corruption but my hands are tied," he said on Tuesday.
"Tell me... Which administration has dealt with the issue of corruption like my administration since independence?"

O so strong Gordian knots!
Like the prisoner of Zenda
Or is it Atahualpa under Cortez's boot
The president of Kenya is a prisoner!
The commander in chief a broken wreck!

The heavens say,
Now that captive Kenyatta has gone Stockholm S
He whose sword cuts the ropes that bind Muigai
To release the hapless Prince from his ill mind
Is he who'll be fated to rule the land of Kenya
Even if his name is Sonko, and his trade, posho!

O Fates!

Revealed: Taxpayers lose Sh5bn in NYS-style Afya House theft

Kenyans have expressed outrage and shock at the news that Sh5 billion was looted by top Ministry of Health officials through manipulation of the Integrated Financial Management System, diversion of funds, and double payment for goods.
This follows a leaked internal audit report that showed the theft— five times the infamous Sh791 million National Youth Service scandal— also involved payments of millions of shillings to phony suppliers in the financial year (2015/2016).

Phantom firms are used in the theft of public funds, illegal tax evasion and money laundering by hiding the identities of individuals who profit from illegal activities, including trafficking of arms, drugs and people. The report titled The Trillion Dollar Scandal, launched ahead of the G20 summit billed for November, estimated that about 3.6 million deaths as a result of poverty, hunger and disease could have been prevented each year in the world's poorest countries if concrete actions were taken to end the secrecy allowing corruption and criminality to thrive.

So, just a thought: All these elite professionals are at the beck and call of the big thieves. They are a battery, a supporting staff to graft. Now, you name him or her in our Kenya, a star in his or her field, Lo! the priorities of Wanjiku is not how they earn keep, nay, to the contrary they earn keep confining her to misery, they earn keep aiding and abetting the criminal practices of those betraying their oaths of office daily, they service those parasiting away the cream of the land, they are grease.

So forgive me if I want to count in tens.

How many are on the side of ending the very graft which underwrites their expensive life style!? Have they all mutinied against the oath to serve the course of honour!? ---I said I wont ask it again with humour for am running scarce on that by and by. This now is like Marcus Antony dealing with a mutiny. The whole offending battalion is lined at the edge of a deep gorge at whose bottom swords are planted facing up. Every 10th man, decimal, is prodded with a sword over the edge to take a tumble, at first, voluntarily.

So keep me in humour and do not let me repeat the question of honour. Just tell me there is no mutiny up there, and I will be fine like a baby at mummy's ripe teat, suckling away dosing. Just tell me there are no mutants up there with neither defect nor no moral compass, and I will be tame rather than game.

---Aah, the things men do when they are game! How terrible the history of man, and woman?

Let us take a look at Afya House. Only comparable to the security dockets in rot. We could of course also take a quick trip to the nearest ward in any public hospital in Kenya! You aint seen a more depressing sight I can assure you!

AG reveals names behind Afya House companies, dismisses report of missing files

The Attorney General's office has dismissed reports that files belonging to companies that were awarded Ministry of Health tenders were missing.

The Justice department in the office of the AG said all of the three companies' records, both physical and digital, were available at the Companies Registry and that their details were open for public scrutiny.
A statement on Friday indicated that private company Estama Investments has not filed annual returns since its incorporation on June 19, 2008.
Its directors/ shareholders were listed as Ambrose Makanga and Esther Wahito who each have 500 shares.

Githu Muigai's renowned professorial brains have a habit of adopting the pace of a snail's gait when the issues are top fingers in the honey jar caught. (watch him peak before Judge Osuji at the ICC Hague: I have no nets to fish land-ownership info for you at our archives in Nairobi!

NB: I expect Wiliam Ruto's lawyers to reason ---fishing is for Luos, ours is milking goats--- the same in answer to Boniface Mwangi's lawyer's demands on his all, wealth!)

Staff at the Companies Registry were yesterday unable to trace the files for Estama Investments, registered as an EPZ company, and Life Care Medics. The two companies were beneficiaries of cash meant for patients, expectant mothers and new-born babies. Records of a third supplier, Medafrica, were non-existent, raising questions about its identity. Without the files, it becomes impossible to unmask the people behind what may turn out to be the biggest scandal in the Jubilee administration.

Unable to trace does not mean MISSING! these fellas could just be blind! But, will this journalist now face threats to pay heavily like the other one threatened by the untidy Permanent secretary --Nicholas Muraguri-- when he reported the 5 billion theft at Afya House?

RESIGN
The Kenya Union of Journalists (KUJ) has demanded the immediate resignation and prosecution of Dr Nicholas Muraguri for defending wanton corruption at the Ministry and threats to a Business Daily journalist

Cleopa Mailu, the minister, received the report some time back and had not acted on it –--he said investigations were going on. With disappeared records from the top state law office, Cleopa Mailu is just another cover-up cog. May be when he is forced to resign he will sing us the famous song –--sang by Philip Kinisu, Charity Ngilu, Ababu Namwamba, Anne Waiguru, PLO Lumumba –---all of them who were in a position to prevent inner looting of the state but only furthered it--- with the refrain: I am fighting corruption hard, that is why the cartels bring me down!

But Uhuru Kenyatta's soloist variation is most refreshing: I have given it my best shot, there is nothing left in me! Over to you, Wanjiku .... and other adventurers!

This is just how depraved we have become!



The good news is we are setting the stage for a comedian like Duterte!
Who?
That is another story!

Wanjiku with her jua-kali preferences is forewarned! how did u want to qualify THE MULTI AGENCY TEAM drafted of Keriako Tobiko, Willy Mutunga, Halaqe Waqo, Ndegwa Muhoro, Edward Ouko, Agnes odhiambo, David Rotich, Kamau Thugge, and the rest of the lot charged to guard Wanjiku's puzzy, sorry, purse!? (thieving collaborators!?) No, jua-kali sounds fairer. --Jua Kali is talent neglected. Existent but leashed, curtailed. (We only need to understand the curtailment, what prevents the development into a CRACK TEAM. Deconstruct what keeps them attack dogs on a short leash!)

When president Uhuru Kenyatta threw up his arms in surrender, a docile wimp before corruption cartels sucking the life blood out of our beloved Kenya, quick wits naturally dashed about the globe looking for controls. I believe that is what they call them in the lab. The alternative case.

Interestingly, Mr Kenyatta said his hands are tied by the constitution … and, despaired the president as if he were some public nuisance or dilapidated scarecrow, what the heck did we want him to do? break the law!? –--The law!?

Some of us puffed air. Gone forever are the days of issuing presidential directives to this or that whatever. Others shook their heads in disbelief. Kenyatta's boy strongest points have nothing to do with thought, nor thinking, they grieved. It may not be laziness, I consoled, it may be strategic negligence, a devious looting ruse, like feigning impotence to escape rape charges! -(this ruling class option needs an own analysis apart!)

Here is a hint of what a moment of introspection could chew on: ATPU!

Police criticised as extrajudicial killings increase

Aug. 31, 2016

"Enforced disappearances are both illegal and devastating to families. They cause untold suffering to relatives and friends, who often never learn whether their loved one is alive or dead,” says Otsieno Namwaya, Africa researcher at New York-based Human Rights Watch.

HRW documented 34 "enforced disappearances" and 11 suspected "extrajudicial killings" over two years in Garissa, Mandera and Wajir counties as part of counter-terrorism operations in the predominantly ethnic Somali northeast.

More than 100 Kenyans have “disappeared” since the year began.
In Mombasa county alone, there have been 78 killings and enforced disappearances in two months, according to Haki Africa executive director Hussein Khalid.

On Friday, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho is to lead demonstrations against the killings. They will coincide with President Uhuru's visit to the coastal city and tensions are high.
Mvita MP Abdulswamad Nassir says young people are being targeted.

The latest victim Coast victim is16-year-old Tony Kenga, killed by police on August 12, ostensibly for belonging to a gang. He was shot while walking home from a wedding.

On Monday evening, Joho led lawmakers, clerics, Tony's parents and the public in storming Nyali police station to demand answers about the killing. They included Nassir, Kisauni MP Rashid Bedzimba, Badi Twalib (Jomvu MP) and Mishi Mboko (Mombasa women representative).
Bedzimba said he is bitter his nephew, Salim Hanjari, was killed by police on July 21 on suspicion of terrorism-related activities.
The protests yesterday coincided with the UN International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances, observed annually on August 30.

Rights groups say Kenyan police, army, intelligence agencies and wildlife service are behind the wave of kidnappings and killings.

Does Muigai in his excellence have the capacity for the psychological fluency of this duplicity? In other words, within 3 years, has power already so transformed Uhuru Kenyatta, so much so that he already is psychologically dislocated enough, his personality compartmentalised enough, such that, as he flings his hands in the air citing the constitution as handcuffs on his presidential hands, the hypocritical chasm he wades registers not in his consciousness!?

In the literature on the corruption of power, where it deforms personality, intoxicating it/one with delusions for instance, things like lying or hypocrisy are for lesser folk. Power has no conscience nor guilty complex! But this pathology is not attained that quick! I would have thought 3 years into power, Muigai is still the type who genuinely asks himself: what have I done for Kenya today! And then his pain at his uselessness is genuine!

But I could be wrong!

Physically there is some condition called Analgesia syndrome. Like in leprosy, one feels no pain. But totally. Such can be burned to death yet, the whole barbecue long, they sing Jesus makes them feel no pain –--and they are not lying, at least on the second part! (a psychopath may be a case of mental analgesia!)
But, on death squads in Kenya, some licenced after the sitting of the NATIONAL SECURITY COMMITTEE (whose composition includes … yes, his Excellency ...)


All lies then. Or so secret even the commander in chief is unaware?

If state-sponsored death squads are executing muslim terrorists left right and centre, who is it who really buys the argument, that it is a matter of principle or constitution restraint, which prevents the executive from 'lynching' the graft cartelists and their bureaucratic accomplices who run Kenya as their corruption yard?

This is the stalemate where people like Rodrigo Duterte come in to break. When the perfect constitution does not work, the public see the corrupt smiling all the way to the bank daily, the judiciary in their pocket. People like Duterte call the national bluff, and suddenly the people, the Roman crowd, turn into an insatiable Jerusalem mob baying for the blood of Jesus and any thief –---every thief!

This is why Uhuru's surrender scares me. It creates a natural vacuum for a man with the balls to face Kenyans and say something he means. Purely hypothetical of course!

1. You want Waiguru dead for NYS corruption? –-Yaaah!
And dead she falls, torso in two parts.
2. You want Kidero dead for Mumias? –--Yaaah!
And dead he falls, torso in two parts.
3. You want Ruto dead for Lang'ata land? –--Yaaah!
And dead he falls, torso in two parts.
4. You want everybody at AFYA house dead for the 5 billion theft –--Yaaah!
And kaboom there is a massacre at Afya house, gangland slaying style!

The mayor of Maguindanao, a town in the Philippines, was reportedly shot and killed by anti-narcotics police early on Friday (28 October). He was among 10 others killed in the shootout and was on President Rodrigo Duterte's list of officials allegedly involved in illegal trade of drugs.
According to reports, police said that Mayor Samsudin Dimaukom and his convoy were stopped at a checkpoint in North Cotabato province. "Based on information about the group transporting illegal drugs in Maguidanao and Cotabato area," police said, they were intercepted. However, the convoy allegedly did not stop and in turn opened fire at the officers.

Now, I ask myself: Duterte's ratings in the Philipines are 80%. What would the rating of a Kenyan Duterte be, if he did the above in a fortnight!?

Anybody up for betting? I bet my dic.k Wanjiku wont be yelling stop! Stop! Stop! No, on the contrary, I think there will be a malicious and ruthlessly indulgent glint of satisfaction in the eye of Wanjiku! Justice at last! Bring more grafted scum that their heads roll bloody!

Ach, just kidding folks! It is a weekend at month end, and with the new TSC salary guidelines, the table is fat, good stuff is freely flowing! Merry do we make and delight in talk do we take, our imaginations flying, every word winged!

A Russian playwright of old perfectly described a scene full of merry-making aristocrats in a rotting, dying Russia. The parasites enjoyed themselves like a swarm of worms in the entails of a corpse soon to be buried. Little did they know it would be a concrete grave!

Pessimist jerk!

But the 300% pay rise we demanded under KUPPET and KNUT ... worms in the entails of a corpse, or is the PWB sustainable to the heavens?
