SABASABA 2017 OVER NKAISSERY'S DEAD BODY!

SABASABA OVER NKAISSERY'S DEAD BODY

1. TEACHING THE YOUTH ABOUT THE LATE NKAISSERY

General Joseph Nkaissery is dead this SABASABA weekend day. The ODMer turned TNA-er has been, of late, the cabinet secretary for security and Interior affairs. No doubt the nation's official mouth pieces will, on behalf of the people of Kenya, express their deepest regrets and, in choral aggrieved tones, profess the irreparable loss beloved Kenya has suffered on this occasion. The man will be declared all but a saint patriot!

No hassle, that is the way it usually goes in official eulogies where an elite bury one of their own. Ritual grief and praise, a false narrative of stalwart service. And for the rest of the audience, why bother with the critical appreciation of a fresh dead body? Move on! it will soon be forgotten!

But teachers, O poor teachers, especially of the civic affairs and historical matters, will be in a kind of spot Monday, before their attentive to cynical students and bemused pupils. You know those arson-prone shysters! One must make the effort to perceive the pedagogical nightmares we teachers suffer, on one hand corrupting young minds with official lies as per the national myths of their successful politicians, while on the other hand, seeking to fortify their character and mould their worth, demanding the youngsters themselves not grow up into consummate liars and well-paid but mercenary professionals!

Man, its a dog's life for a squirrel's wages! –---we will strike for more benefits soon I tell ya! Our children, like Chineke the bird who learnt to fly nonstop when men learnt to shoot without missing, have figured Kenya out. They want to be Jimmy Wanjigi, funding The Enigma and William Singh in the same election, holding both opposition and government puppet, and all with the proceeds of business illigit! ---Fak hard work!

You feel me! wrestling with the disburbed moral compass of your adolescents!?

Kenya: TJRC to present findings to the president

05/02/2013
The Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission TJRC is eventually set to present its findings and recommendations to the president.
The team is expected to present its massive report comprising of 4 volumes to President Uhuru Kenyatta Thursday, one day to the expiry of its term tomorrow (Friday).

The report is divided into chapters based on key violations including land, torture and ethnic violence among others will unravel historical injustices as gathered by the commission to various communities and their perpetrators as well as possible remedies.
The commission had for the better part of its tenure hit headlines for the wrong reasons owing to controversies surrounding Ambassador Bethwel Kiplagat’s chairmanship.

At one point Kiplagat quit the commission due to mounting pressure attributed to his alleged involvement in the Wagalla Massacre in North Eastern.

You see a few years ago, the likes of Jakaswanga were encouraging their students to read and ponder in detail for themselves, the massive, 44-volume document known as the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation report; –-- even the final, doctored or edited version presented by the controversy-ridden and disunited TJRC under its even more controversial ambassador, Bethwel Kiplagat.

Integrity seems so important it captured a whole clause in the new constitution, but, for some self-mutilating reason, when there is a job demanding integrity to be done, we find ourselves addicted to shooting ourselves in the foot. We never miss an opportunity to pick the most morally challenged. –--Think chicken eaters like Hassan (and now the careless and negligent Wafula Chebukati) to run our 'INDEPENDENT' electoral commission, think connected fraudulent types like Philip Kinisu picked to head the ETHICS and anti-corruption body. And talk about the National Lands Commission or would-be Parliamentary accounting bodies, many more names come straight to mind. The list is infamously voluminous we know!

FOOTNOTE LATER: A considered report on the TJRC report by the erudite John Kamau, formerly of the Daily Nation.

That report, never debated, BICAMERALLY swept under the carpet, by the Jubilee administration under complicit support by CORD, has some recommendations which, now more than ever, shedS light on our necessary national hypocrisy. Leave alone historical injustices.

It recommended that Nkaissery be investigated and possibly prosecuted over his role in Operation Nyundo.

Nkaissery, then an army major, is among the senior military officers the TJRC accused of gross violations of human rights, including torture, sexual violence and murders. He also is accused of having sold thousands of cattle and transported them in army vehicles to Kitale, Eldoret, Nakuru, and Nairobi.

Soldiers are accused of confiscating animals, which they either shot dead, ate or sold. The result was that many were killed and others maimed,” says the report.

and more

“It is from the sound of the helicopters, lotiriri, that the massacre that followed got its name. During this massacre, many people are said to have been brutally killed and many injured by the state security agents carrying out the operation,” the report states.

Many people are said to have been killed? (Lotiriri massacre may have not happened after all!?)

No, eye witness and survivor accounts actually put a FIGURE to the many! Yes, it was a massacre, not 'probably' one! –--in case truth is a point.

Mzee Atoligole Losute became the first person to surrender his gun, but when he tried to raise the certificate, the helicopter dropped down and then he was told: Because you are a good person, we will take you round to be an example to other people.

Read more: jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/9232/nkaissery-atone-past#ixzz4lhYtaAoB

So, when that Mzee was flown off by the helicopter, his wives saw him go inside the helicopter and after going round, he was seen hooked or tied on his neck to the helicopter and then he was flown off and went round the helicopter and after about 30 minutes, that old man died. He was thrown away at the border of Kenya and Uganda.

Another person who was treated the same way was Mzee Achelo. When he raised his certificate to show that he was a peaceful person, he was sprayed with bullets by the helicopter and three others died at a place called Karamel in Nikunyau Division, which was a location then,” he recounted.

The report notes that summons for him to appear before it notwithstanding, "Major (Rtd) Nkaissery failed to appear before the Commission for hearings on 23rd February 2013 and again on 8th April, 2013."

In its findings and recommendations, the TJRC observed that the Director of Public Prosecution needed to prosecute Nkaissery.

In the year following the release of the TJRC’s report, fewer public figures have been more visible in pressing either for its revision or delay in implementation than the good general, often aided by Majority Leader Aden Dualle.

Read that again. Aden Duale and Nkaissery. Now think of your history teacher in class, grinning mischievously at the young minds, asking: why do the Igbo of kina Chinua Achebe say an old woman is always uneasy when dry bones are mentioned?

Smart student answers: old women have a lot of skeletons in their cupboards!

TEACHER: And what about the English with their birds of the same feather flock together?


SMART STUDENT: Duale and Nkaissery are protecting themselves. Duale, though ethnic Somali, does not want massacres against the Somali investigated to the full and responsibility apportioned, for it will reveal the collusion of his family, or in laws like General Mohammed, in the mass killings of fellow Somalis. Nkaissery's motives are obvious.

Nkaissery has defended himself ,saying he couldn't’t be accused of committing a crime while leading an operation ordered by the National Security Council chaired by then President Moi. He has also disputed that there were killings.

“TJRC should have started with other top army chiefs and provincial administrators who coordinated the operation,” he said.
Nkaissery has said he was ready to be investigated, but he also threatened to sue the TJRC for adversely mentioning him without giving him an opportunity to defend himself.

“I am consulting my lawyers to determine the next cause of action," he said.

But feb 23 2013 and april 8th 2013 what happened!?

Now he is dead. And his public obituary will be GREAT MAN. But in the curriculum –------for those who read voluminous NATIONAL documentation like the TJRC report, the Ndung'u Land report, AKIWUMI report, Waki commission, (JM and Ouko)------ the fallen General cuts more a figure of a WAR CRIMINAL than a national hero! (It will be noted the problem is he committed the crimes against his fellow citizens rather than those of a foreign and genetically far enemy!The rule is WAR CRIMES ABROAD GOOD, war crimes at home, CRIMINAL!. That is why Generals Collin Powel and Storman Schwapskorf got away with the massacre of the retreating Iraqi army from Kuwait. It was a sitting duck army, but Colin and Norman killed them all. And got exceptional stars for it!)

Come Monday, our smart students will be raising their hands on points of order or re-directs.

SS: 'Dr. Ole Kiyapi Sir, seeing the eulogies certifying general Joseph's greatness and heroic contribution to Kenya, should we now treat those respective, negative passages of the TJRC as slander, lies and propaganda best left to ever malicious Jaluo lecturers like Jakaswanga to peddle!?'

Then they will confront me with my 'malice' because they know I am always game, and young agile minds love games!

I say over his dead body:
General Nkaissery was an the original soldier. A dependable dog born to obey his master, and that is whomsoever in power. Like all those German SS officers doing Jews in, all those Israeli Defence personnel mowing down Palestinian girls armed with sticks and stones, all those great Egyptian soldiers firing into a Mosque of Morsi supporters, all those suicide bombers blowing themselves up in civilian centers, Nkaissery was merely a soldier OBEYING HIS ORDERS!

Obeying his orders: 'MALIZA HIYO FUJO! TENA HARAKA! ----during war, that is office talk for mass murder!

NB: He defected to Jubilee yes, that bone he saw. But I say, had it been Raila Odinga in power, Nkaissery would not have succumbed to his own reflection brandishing a bigger bone; Nkaissery would have served HE Agwambo with the same dedication he did Moi, Kibaki, Uhuru or any other CiC. Nkaissery was a soldier's soldier. Do and die and not ask why. Without non-questioning ruthless cogs and robots like Joseph Nkaissery, armies don't and wont work.

Soldiers who think will overthrow you, or rival you for power!

No!?

See McMaster versus Mad Dog in Trump's war cabinet!

A GREAT MAN IS GONE!

NB:

Here is President Uhuru Kenyatta’s speech after he learned about the death of Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery.

“Major General Joseph Nkaissery was a man who believed in his country, who believed in the principals and the foundations in which this country was built and a man who dedicated most of his life to serving this great nation.
I personally have lost a friend, a colleague, whom as late as yesterday, we spent a good part of the day praying for peace for this country, and whom as late as 9:30 last night were discussing issues pertaining and relating to peace and unity of this country. Indeed in one of his last notes, we spent discussing his great passion which was Kenya’s preparedness for the Junior Athletics that is supposed to commence in the next few days.

On a passing note, Matiang'i of Education has been named acting Nkaissery replacement. This Maatiang'i is of course embroiled in a CBA quagmire or labour dispute if you like, and is finding out how trenchant such things have become, given the history of this government as having visual disabilities where its signatures to CBA documents is concerned. What you see is not always what you get! Matiang'i already has more than he can chew on his mouth, leave alone another helping of a plateful!

Education CS Matiang’i: CBA to be paid in two phases

By Augustine Oduor | Updated Sun, July 2nd 2017

A nationwide strike by university academic staff and lecturers that starts today flies in the face of Government assurances that it is committed to guaranteeing the welfare of workers.

Read more at: www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001245977/do-whatever-it-takes-to-avert-lecturers-strike

Whereas the Kenyan doctors finally reached an agreement with county governments on the vexatious issue of better pay and working conditions, nurses, sadly, are still on strike, now joined by lecturers. The trigger of the strikes is Government’s lack of commitment to Comprehensive Bargaining Agreements entered into by both parties on diverse dates.

Lecturers in Kenya have staged strikes severally over poor pay. Notably, they went on strike in 2003, 2004, 2012 and 2014. Why the Government does not commit to address their long-standing grievances is anybody’s guess, but a time has come when this grandstanding must come to an end.

It is an issue of trust. Every union official saw that incident in court with Judge Hellene Wasilwa urinating broad on Ouma Dr. Oluga and his naive medicinemen and women, who had trusted the government like the morons medics are:

'WHICH CBA!!?' the Judge whined with malicious glee!
'You belong to jail, useless things that you are!' And she sent them to jail for a fact!

Eh! what is a CBA!? let alone a binding CBA!

Read more at: www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001245674/fred-matiang-i-cba-to-be-paid-in-two-phases

Speaking separately, the union officials maintained that the planned strike is on. “We don’t have any communication from the ministry or from the employers so nothing has changed,” said Kusu secretary general Charles Mukhwaya, Uasu secretary general Constantine Wasonga maintained that workers want full settlement of the CBA. “This was a historical CBA and we must get done with it to start fresh talks for next phase. We can promise the government a hostile strike against them,” he said.

Matiang’i appealed to the workers to suspend the planned strike saying the government was committed to address their grievances. “The government reiterates its commitment to meet its side of the bargain and the unions and respective staff are advised accordingly,” he said.

This was after Matiang'i said

Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i Saturday said the Sh10 billion will be spread across two financial years.

“The implementation of the Collective bargaining Agreement (CBA) would straddle the two-financial years 2016/2017 and 2017/2018,” Dr Matiang’i said. He announced that the Ministry of Education has wired Sh4.8 billion into the respective bank accounts of 31 public universities and colleges. “The rest of the amount would come from the 2017/2018 Financial Year,” he said.

The government signed a CBA with University Academic Staff Union and the Kenya University Staff Union (Kusu

[/i])[/quote]In other words, without consultations with the stakeholders and subsequent mutual agreement, the minister just ANNOUNCED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN!

Which means the faka is giving the Unionised strikers a directive to go back to work on his word and UNILATERAL decisions!

Man! man! man!

You can do that with doctors and nurses may be, not with us in the education department! KNUT, KUPPET OR UASU, our collective historical memory on dealing with the chicanery of government goes all the way back to 1923! Even young Daniel Arap Moi was a perenial striker and teahers strike organiser! This detail is unknown to many! (just like the detail of labourman Tom Mboya egging him harder on to fully be a politician, for the state is where real power lay!)

But that was a by the way, just to illustrate why I think Matiang'i should toil more with his head than with his mouth! Now that he, in addition to unruly lecturers, he has rogues like Marwa at the coast and Ndegwa Muhooro to mind, and nuisances like Boinnet to guide, and the times critical!

NB 2. OF CHANGING NARRATIVES

So Sabasaba was usurped into a national prayer day 2017!? (thinking of Kenyatta day to Mashujaa day, which storms hide in our national IDD?)

Of course rest in peace Nkaissery. But I warn I notice, Major Geoffrey Obwoge (Ha! who is that?) has not had his befitting 20-something gun-salutes! Monday I will grin before my class, holding our left and right: Major Obwoge, Major Nkaissery, who is your national hero now!?

I will look out for the smart kid answers.

And I will be game!

Fear truth report may open can of worms on leaders

October 3 2016. By JOHN KAMAU

The tabling of the truth and reconciliation report is set to rock the political boat since it carries names of prominent politicians in both the ruling Jubilee and Cord — all accused of wrongdoing in the past.

The findings of the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) released in May 2013 and which has never been tabled in Parliament, calls for a wide range of measures — including opening up of cold cases, new prosecutions and public apologies by both British and Kenyan governments.

TJRC was set up after the post-election violence of 2007 to address historical injustices and gross human rights abuses.
The report is now the subject of a political push fronted by Cord leader Raila Odinga, who has been calling for its tabling and adoption in Parliament.

If implemented, alleged masterminds of ethnic clashes, human rights violators, land grabbers and assassins could be hauled back to courts to answer for their roles in incidents that date back to 1963.

Some perpetrators are already dead. Also, the TJRC did not process any amnesty, leaving those mentioned prone to investigations and prosecutions.

The report accused both President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto of planning and financing violence during 2007/2008 post-election violence but did not recommend any action on the two since they were facing trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Both cases were dismissed for lack of evidence and for what the prosecutor said was interference of its witnesses.
Cord co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka is accused of funding an illegal group, Kabuithu, in 1997 that evicted over 2,000 Tharaka families from Mwingi.

But the report absolved Mr Musyoka of grabbing land on which Mwingi Cottages are built.
Laikipia Senator GG Kariuki, the minister for Internal Security during the Wagalla massacre, is also on the spot.

Although Mr Kariuki denied knowing of any deaths and rape in the 1980 Karatasi/Garissa Gubai massacre, the report says he bears responsibility for the operation and the ensuing atrocities, together with former Provincial Commissioner Benson Kaaria.

“The Commission finds that the conduct of Benson Kaaria and GG Kariuki, both of whom appeared before the Commission, is consistent with official denials and deflections.”

It also recommends the prosecution of nominated ODM Senator Elizabeth Ongoro for inciting other communities against Kikuyus and Kambas in 2007.

GRABBED LAND

The TJRC report has been marred by controversy — and the commission was also mired in its own battles to remove the chairman, Bethuel Kiplagat.

When it was first released, three of the commissioners — Justice Gertrude Chawatama, Berhanu Dinka and Prof Ronald C Slye — wrote a protest letter saying the chapter on land had been changed and that it did not capture their dissent.

The protest followed an alleged deletion of a footnote that claimed that “when Jomo Kenyatta’s son, Muigai, married Isaiah Mathenge’s daughter in 1976, Kenyatta’s gift was a large tract of government land which was, apparently, acquired without official approval and without compliance with legal procedures”.

Apparently, none of Kenyatta’s son is married to Mathenge’s daughter and that error had been picked from Charles Hornby’s book, A History of Independent Kenya.

Another paragraph touched on land owned by Basil Criticos in Taveta.

He apparently told the TJRC his family had offered a substantial proportion of the 30,000 acres to the government for purchase at Sh600 per acre to settle landless squatters but it ended up settling Kambas.
That was based on a letter from Mr Criticos.

Also expunged was a claim that President Jomo Kenyatta unlawfully alienated to himself land in 1972, “especially portions on the beach” which he allocated to “his friends, relatives and associates”.

But the commissioners absolved President Uhuru Kenyatta from blame on the changes done after the end of the TJRC mandate on May 3, 2013, saying they had no information “with respect to whether the current President was aware of, or condoned, the actions of officials in the Office of the President”.
Uhuru was sworn in on April 9, 2013, some 24 days before the TJRC’s mandate expired.
The commissioners also described the final report as “excellent”, saying it made far-reaching findings and bold recommendations.

Other members included Tecla Namachanja, Maj-Gen (Rtd) Ahmed Sheikh Farah, Prof Tom Ojienda, and Margaret Shava.

The report calls for individual and collective forms of reparations as a result of gross human rights abuses and historical injustices.
They also expressed fear that the report would face political backlash and hence proposed the formation of a commission to oversee its implementation.

ATROCITIES

TJRC had recommended that the government puts aside Sh500 million for reparations.
But the reparations and compensations cannot be paid before the recommendations are adopted in Parliament and the implementation committee put in place.

“Reparations may also consist of memorials, community facilities such as health clinics and schools and other mechanisms by which the suffering of victims is acknowledged and addressed,” it said.

The commission found that both Presidents Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel arap Moi presided over governments that were responsible for killings, torture and collective punishments.

The regimes are also blamed for political assassinations of Pio Gama Pinto, Tom Mboya, JM Kariuki and Dr Robert Ouko.

The Narc government of Mwai Kibaki is accused of unlawful detentions and extra-judicial killings.
It also accuses state security agencies — Kenya Police and Kenya Army — of enforcing disappearances, sexual violence, torture and ill-treatment of individuals, especially in the former North-Eastern Province, Upper Eastern and North Rift “as a matter of course in dealing with banditry”.

The report said Kenya Army brigadiers (as they were then) Joseph Ndolo and Jackson Mulinge “bear command responsibilities” for the atrocities committed during the Shifta war, triggered by Somali secessionists who wanted the region to be part of Somalia.

On the Wagalla massacre, in which hundreds of members of Degodia clan were systematically tortured at an airstrip and then killed, the report says the official figure of 57 was grossly underestimated and says the Provincial Police Officer, only identified as M Aswani, should be held "responsible" for authoring a signal that asked his juniors to have the civilians “treated mercilessly”.

The Kenya Army is accused of the actual execution of the massacre.

Interestingly, Mr Kiplagat was a member of the Kenya Intelligence Committee (KIC) which had visited Wajir a day before the actual massacre.

OFFER APOLOGY

It was this that derailed part of Kiplagat’s tenure as critics said that he was not fit to lead such a committee.

He denied on record having discussed the Wagalla massacre during the tour.

On that, the report says: “KIC members have chosen to feign total ignorance as to what measures were to be taken, even close to thirty years after the event.”

The report recommends that KIC members who include Joseph Kaguthi, Kiplagat, former Provincial Commissioner Benson Kaaria, former Deputy PC Alex Njue, Gen (Rtd) JR Kibwana, David Mwiraria, former Wajir DC David Mativo and several others be investigated further by the Director of Public Prosecutions to determine criminal culpability if any.

It also recommended that they should not hold any public office.

If implemented, a public memorial would be established to commemorate victims of Shifta war.
On the colonial era atrocities, it recommended that the British government should offer a public and unconditional apology for all injustices committed between 1895 and 1963

Ahem! what happened to the report actually!?

Prayers for peace, will prayers solve historical grievances!?

And we all lived happily ever after! amen!
