OK, let the moderators go at each on this one. Hehehehehe Man:You can sneer and chortle all you want. But I will have you know that all three moderators- Kathure, Adongo and I- are UNITED in our DISGUST at the objectification of women in this thread by some of you. I excuse Titchaz who wanted to celebrate an African woman for getting international recognition on the beauty pageant stage in spite of the rampant racism. At this point I am trying to accomodate the principle of freedom of expression, even as I struggle with yet another manifestation of misogyny in Jukwaa, so please folks do not push me in making a drastic decision as the Administrator of this forum. Onyango Oloo AdministratorMr. OO Your are threatening to take drastic decisions just because people are commenting on the beauty pageant? And that you “…are UNITED in our DISGUST at the objectification of women in this thread by some of you.” You actually say you are disgusted at the objectification of women yet you are the one who used the phrase “several kilos of meat” in this thread. You are telling other people to learn to take the hint, yet you yourself do not take any hints. Take a chill pill for sure dude, you are too uptight. Go have a tusker on me and relax. Life it too short for one to be this uptight.

Hon. Kilemi Mwiria couldn't have put it better!! www.standardmedia.co.ke/columnists/InsidePage.php?id=2000042112&cid=650&G7 alliance ganging up against Raila has suspicious intentions By Kilemi Mwiria Tribal alliances appear an unavoidable element of Kenya’s presidential contests. Often they involve deals that target one man, as was the case with Uhuru Kenyatta in 2002, Mwai Kibaki in 2007, and now Raila Odinga in 2012. When a group of politicians target one man, it is rarely about national good but self, especially when those uniting happen to be non-reformists. That is why they explain their intended unity in terms of sacrificing their personal interest for the sake of one of them – not country. This is why they will, from time to time, isolate one of their members and recall him only when they sense the danger of losing. The G7 alliance is not about a common ideology as those uniting do not point to a development agenda different from that of the candidate they are ganging up against. Those colluding against the other have at one time or another worked in one team, including with their newfound enemy. The G7 alliance is particularly intriguing in that its members are fighting one with whom they serve in the same Government. One would expect that they subscribe to similar principles, which could be advanced by any of them. What hypocrisy is this, especially given that in previous elections, some of the G7 members were the staunchest advocates of the candidate now turned enemy number one? These political games are confusing to the public and are additional ammunition to those who always see mischief in Kenya’s political leadership. Ganging up against one person is also undemocratic, as it does not allow the public to make a choice on the competing candidates based on their development record and vision for country? You win or lose depending on the number of ethnic voting blocks you have; not because of whom you are. Neutrals must wonder why one man should scare so many others. Why would seven candidates lack the confidence to win unless they team up against one other? Why would these presidential aspirants mortgage their own ambition and vision for country to one of their equals? Such cowardice can only propel Raila to a notch above the rest of the competition in the eyes of the public who may think that; if he can only lose to a combined force of seven men, then he must be seven times better than each one of them. This view is backed by the fact that Raila always finds a way of being more visible than his opponents. He could also benefit from a backlash by constituents represented by the G7 clique who were not consulted on the pact. The G7 alliance and other tribal cliques can only take us back to the backward politics of personality cults, corruption, weak political parties and ethnic tensions. It could provoke a backlash as Raila’s supporters – from within and outside his ethnic group – ask why pick on him. Let whoever wants to be Kenya’s president prove his ability by going out there to win without a supporting cast. If there is no clear winner, let the best two fight it out in a replay. The writer is MP for Tigania West and Assistant Minister, Ministry for Higher Education, Science & Technology

Nice. Now she can work on getting some meat on her backside. I like (love) her just as she is. She is content with herself and said as much. When asked what she would change about herself if she could; she said she was satisfied with the way God created her and would not add a thing, not even the backside you are asking for (typical African male reasoning). I love Miss Universe (Angola)

Still on this ICC thing, can someone please explain to me who is this Dr. Matsanga who is a frequent visitor on the bench (K24). This fellow is a permanent fixture on this TV show by Jeff Koinange. Is he a hired gun?? And if so, whose hired gun is he?? One man cannot dominate a show like this unless of course ther are some vested interests somewhere.

I think this Raila-Mudavadi ticket must be giving some people a lot of sleepless nights. The other famous attempt at relegating Mudavadi was when they started reporting those fake opinion polls that "showed" that a Raila-Uhuru ticket was the strongest. When this did not work, they had to go back to the drawing board. See what they have come up with now. According to them, Raila's running mate has to come from a certain region. Bure kabisa.

Prof. Mutua must be a real joker. Even if Raila has asked for opinions about who should be his running mate, Mr. Paul Muite should be the last person to feature on that list. Shame on Mutual for trying to remind us about Muite being Jaramogi's deputy in Ford - K.
Of all the "reformers" of yester-years (AKA young turks), Muite now falls in the same category as Kiraitu Murungi, Gibson kamau Kuria, Prof. Kivutha Kibwana and Martha Karua*. The * besides Karua's name is because she is doing a very good job now at re-inventing herself, and I might soon drop her from the list of jokers.

I do not understand. Go to the Hague to do what?? I believe the title of this article is not to be read literally as you're doing. Next time someone tells you to "piga magoti" make sure you take a hammer and do the necessary. At least you also agree that the title of this post is a bit out of place. No less than the author of this post himself has in the past accussed others of using misleading titles in their posts. I guess the "rules" should be different this time, huh!

Out of the 4 applicants for the posistion of chairman, only Koki Muli is qualified, going by the stringent guidelines given by the Aukot commitee. Isaac Hassan does not come anywhere close.

Gadaffi should just surrender and flee to Uganda or to any other friendly state willing to take him in. The toll on his family is just too much.

This post kind of reminds me way back in Nyayo era when Moi would use court jesters like Chotara, Kanyingi and Barng'etuny to float some hot political balloons in the air to see which way they will fly or whether they will be shot down. The Prof of politics would then come to the "rescue" of wananchi if the issue received wide-spread disapproval from the masses and blast the same clowns he had personally authorized to float a given hot issue. Miguna should not use the same tactics if he's behind this ploy. Moi may be long gone but his tactics seem to be much alive in Kenya today. Who can forget Miguna being fired in 1 o'clock news through the radio just like they used to do back in the mama na baba era? Considering that Miguna ran to K24 (Uhuru owned) to sit on the bench after his "assassination" a move to Uhuru's camp would not be far-fetched

This Dr. Mutunga chap spends a lot of time and energy taking about trivial issues like the attire of judges at the expense of more urgent issues at the Judiciary. In my opinion, the more things are supposed to have changed in this new constitutional dispensation, the more they remain the same. In this supposed “new” Kenya, why are Judges still being sworn in at State House? ? New High Court Judges have just been sworn in only a few days after the Supreme Court Judges were sworn in, both ceremonies took place at State House. The Chief Justice himself and his deputy were also sworn in at State House. Can’t these types of functions for judicial officers take place at the Judiciary headquarters, presided over by the Chief Justice as the head of that arm of government? People please don’t get me wrong. I know swearing in ceremonies are no big deal, but in my opinion it is a high time we did things different. I do not see MPs taking their oath of office at State House. They do it at Parliament buildings, which is the seat of the Legislature, and presided over by the Speaker as the head of that arm of government. We need to let the president worry about the Executive arm of the government. So much talk about change in the Judiciary by the Chief Justice. After refusing to wear a robe at his swearing ceremony, the CJ should have insisted that the swearing in of judicial officers be done at the Judiciary headquarters. At that point I would have had some hope of some radical changes in the judiciary. For now the onus of the new CJ is to prove me wrong. Otherwise for me, the only difference in that arm of government is the change in the holder of the office (complete with an ear stud). I’m pretty sure the status quo will largely remain. www.nation.co.ke/News/New+judges+sworn+in+at+State+House/-/1056/1229524/-/9l6jyr/-/index.htmlWewe Okolowaka, The word "appoint" can be relative, even in law. In this particular case the word is just a formality if you know the true meaning of the word. In real sense, these people are appointed elsewhere and the president's role is just a mere formality, which he cannot change. He cannot reject some names and appoint his cronies in their place like Kosgey did at KEBS and Nyong'o at MOH. The JSC which vets and recruits judges is a funciton under the Judiciary. The president can just do the formality of appointing but the Judiciary should in all sense be seen to be independent. The current trend of trooping to state house gives the impression that these people are answerable to the tenant at the house, in my opinion. Changing this would be a better idea than wasting time about judges attire, again in my opinion.

OOAllow me to chime in on your response above. I was a civil servant until about 13 years ago when I left the service to pursue other things. I was a very very very junior civil servant through out my tenure (I have to point that out upfront lest Miguna replies to my post by questioning my academic credentials as is usual in his responses) Back to the topic. At the time I was in the service, suspension use to be called Interdiction., which was for a maximum of six months by which time if investigations were not complete you were reinstated unconditionally. During the six months your were out on interdiction (or suspension), you were entitled to half of your salary for the entire period. Upon reinstatement you resumed your full pay and the other half that was withheld from you during your suspension was also given back to you as a lump sum. Like I said its been very many years since I left the service and things may have changed. I see that Miguna is demanding at least half his salary during his suspension, which means that this rule may still be the same from the time I was in the service. What most of you (Miguna included) don't seem to understand is that these people used the word suspension just conveniently in Miguna's case. The truth of the matter is that Miguna was fired. You can never be suspended indefinately in the civil service and without pay. The indefinate suspension without pay is just a code for telling you that you are fired. And to drive the point home, the went ahead and fired his staff on the spot (those are the people I trully feel sorry for). That means they have no intentions of bringing Miguna back from the get-go, at least not in his former capacity. And if on the other hand those people were genuinely going to investigate the circumstances that led to their action, they do not have any more reason or motivation to pursue the investigation further, not after the tantrums that Miguna threw following his "suspension" In conclusion, let us just accept that Miguna was fired!!! NB: I have to get at least three warnings before your kick me out of the forum like you did a couple of weeks ago. I will risk this as my first warning, so I have two more strikes. Man,If your bio data on Jukwaa records is correct, then you are currently 30 years old. That means that 13 years ago, you were 17 years old. Assuming you entered Class 1 at the age of 5 (I doubt it, but let's just assume so) in the 8-4-4 system of education, then at the age of 17 you were doing your 4th Form and at the same time working as a very very very junior civil servant! First, I wonder if you could really combine both and secondly, I thought the majority age in Kenya starts from 18. Now, employment of a minor full time and during school hours could easily amount to child labour abuse and I'm not sure a sane government would want to do that to her citizen! You get my drift, or am I missing something here?Here is your bio data as recorded on Jukwaa:Name: man Email: hidden Birthday: 11/18/1980 Age: 30 Gender: Male Posts: 4 Date Registered: Aug 22, 2011, 8:09am Account Status: Activated einstein, Oh yes, you are missing a lot. If I was your Professor and this was the analytical term paper you presented I would give you a grade of D just for trying. My next option would be F because we do not have any grade of E. Anyway good luck in your effort to chambua me. I hope you don't bruise your sculp while scratching your head trying to chambua me.

As for your other question, I think I can answer it myself. Contrary to widespread misconception, Miguna Miguna HAS NOT BEEN FIRED from his job. He has merely been SUSPENDED. So technically he still retains his title until there is a formal announcement that he has been officially terminated. Onyango Oloo Nairobi OOAllow me to chime in on your response above.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Such thinking is what I call fixed mind fitted in a straight jacket. Appointing Ministers/Asst.Ministers from elected/nominated MPs is a constitutional requirement really. Citizens' wish of electing those they wish to represent them is driven by many factors and certainly not a performance yardstick. That is why the Makadarians preferred Sonko - whom, apart from not showing any performance experience, has spent half his time in parliament screaming, shouting, throwing tantrums on the streets, boxing and kicking walls, apart from jumping from one court case to another. Appointment of Ministers/Asst. Ministers is also not cast on stone. That is why the new constitution will allow for appointment of the same from non elected/nominated MPs, etc. It is foolhardy fronting such arguments as reasons for choosing who to elect or reject. RifpemanAppointing a nominated MP to cabinet is not a constitutional requirement but that the old constitution was silent on this. In infact, I juxstaposed what Raila has done with Moi-Kamotho (KANU) games. Indeed this has not happened in the Kibaki presidency untill now through ODM. The slant of my argument, which you must have noted or ignored, never questioned the constitutionality of appointing Sirma to the cabinet but the moral of the exercise. To me, in fact to nominate a reject to bunge in itself is slightful to the electorate. In other words what you are telling the people who refused to elect the fellow is that they are stupid and do not know what is good for them. Or rather, what is good for them is not necessarily good for you. That is, you are putting your interests ahead of those of the people. Secondly, I find your comparison of the present set up with the future set up as being as silly as it can be. Whereas the current set up allows such stupid games by politicians who value their egos more than the people, the drafters of the new law alive to such shenanigans. That is why one, the makers of the katiba provided that future cabinet secretaries should and must come from outside bunge and that, they should not have run for elective office and failed. It is that simple my friend and does not need your sophisticated thinking, if at all. Why is the elevation of nominated MP Musa Sirma to the cabinet an issue now??? Why wasn't there any issue when another nominated MP Joseph Nyagah was appointed to the cabinet?? Or is this just another excuse to throw stones at Raila.

I still believe RAILA is Kenya's BEST hope for now. That is not to say I cannot change my mind if a better candidate comes along. I do not know Miguna but he makes some sense when he explain how his suspension was done. His locks were changed, his security recalled and no one is EXPLAINING anything to him. What is worse is that some of us who all along suspected RAILA'S MACHIAVELLIAN ways are left with no explanation too. RAILA, RAILA, RAILA, the gods never get HAPPY when we do such barbaric acts. I am seeing the gods derailing your train to State House. I want you to be PRESIDENT but you are pissing off the gods. Call Miguna personally and APOLOGIZE. It will only make you STRONGER, not weaker. If you think you are A BIG TREE, well remember that the gods are POWER SAWS. They will cut you to size. I will keep reminding you to APOLOGIZE and when you do i am sure Miguna will let us know. I am not fighting any wars for Miguna. This has more to do with RAILA'S character. Luos and most Kenyans admire you for the sufferings you went thru to liberate Kenya. Why are you becoming an OPPRESSOR MAN now when you are about to hit the SUMMIT? I see you sliding back down. You are going to slide down and I will not be sure whether to laugh or sympathize. LISTEN to this LONE voice in the WILDERNESS. You were in DETENTION three times and it is the GOODWILL from friends and supporters that kept IDA and the KIDS going. Your brother Oburu was just a drunk and womanizer in Kisumu. Jakoyo was no where in scene. Why now do you let these trolls advise you? You are a big baloon??? Right?? the gods will DEFLATE you. I have told the gods not to let you off the HOOK on this one. UTAMEA Pembe. ! Can you and other Miguna apologists stop this nonsense and just move on. Why are you acting as though the sun will never rise again simply because your "hero" was fired? How many prominent Kenyans have ever been fired (rightly or wrongly), and how many times have the appointing authority came out to explain the reasons for the firing? This line of reasoning is becoming too chhildish now and I wonder why you had to start a new thread for this bull!! Get a life please

I have been trying to tell people here that this Miguna guy is pathetic but his apologists here would simply not listen. Every one here knows the ownership and views of K24 and also the ownership’s relationship/opinions Vis-à-vis ODM/Raila. For this Miguna guy to run to this station to grant an interview after falling out with Raila lays bare the caliber of “man” that he is. One does not need to be a rocket scientist to know the kind of ranting to expect from this interview. His apologists here were very quick to dismiss the upcoming interview as “strong” rumors and dismissed the whole idea of Miguna granting an interview to K24 because they too knew that granting such an interview would be ludicrous. I wonder what they will now say now that their “strong” rumors have been confirmed. I hope Miguna’s apologists here will finally see their “hero” for who he really is. Man:This is your SECOND PUBLIC WARNING against personal attacks. Going by the trend you are on, you are on the fast track of becoming an ex-Jukwaa member. Onyango OlooKnock yourself out Mr. Oloo and go on with your tyranny. So the other thinly veiled threat to me was actually a WARNING. You do not need to give me a warning, public or otherwise. My ex-jukwaa status will not add any more sufuria of ugali on my table. The beauty of it all is that the truth will always prevail no matter how bad it hurts. So go on and do what you have to do.

This Miguna guy is surely going Loco. As Kamale has said earlier, this would be a good time for Miguna's friends to really hold his hand and tell him to either go silent or tone down major. On a separate note, I have been scratching my head trying to find out or figure out what great or major thing that Miguna has done for Kenya/Raila/ODM such that the mere plan to sack him is all of a sudden treasonable. The only difference or contribution this guy has made to Kenyan politics is to re-define the meaning of confrontational politics. Another thing, assuming Miguna has his way in court, what kind of working relationship is he going to have with the PM and how is he going to advise the PM? I have never seen or heard of someone trying to be an advisor by force. Man:I have been silently watching your contributions here in Jukwaa, and there is a virulent strain of disdain littering all your personal attacks on Miguna. Please buy some good soap gel and wash off all that stench from your virtual online mouth. Onyango Oloo AdministratorIs this a thinly veiled threat to my continued membership at Jukwaa and a warning about the imminent cancellation of my membership just because some of us are bold enough to tell the "Emperor" that his stuff is hanging out? In fact I have exercised a lot of restraint in my posts against the said "Emperor" and a lot of people have posted worse comments than mine, I don't recall seing any warnings to them thus far. If this was suppossed to make me tone down or look the other way then too bad. It will not happen coz the truth always hurts. And if anyone thinks I am the only one who is really against these rants by Miguna, just take a look the latest article by Miguna that was posted on the CapitalFM blog and see the comments that follow the article; www.capitalfm.co.ke/eblog/2011/08/12/why-i-am-challenging-my-suspension-in-court/#disqus_thread

I had a problem with the CJ the moment he mentioned this colonial regalia thing at the time of his swearing in even though everybody here seemed to applude him. To me that was straight up hypocritical.
People applauded how he did not show up at his swearing in clad in a rob and wig but described how he appeared smartly dressed in a "jungle green suit." So why are the robes and wigs colonial yet the "Jungle Green suit is not. The CJ-designate at the time also showed up at the ceremony in his reggedy car and left the event in limosine. Why is riding in that limosine not colonial. Is he planning to adopt the use of bicycle in future in his new quest to "de-colonize" the judiciary? Hypocrisy of the highest order.
My fear is that the CJ is getting caught up in a lot of non-issues. There are way too many important issues that need to be tackled in the judiciary instead of wasting people's time with the attire. In my opinion the attire in the Judiciary should remain intack, if only to reflect the rich history of the same. You do not become a better people by running away from your history.
If the CJ spends his energy to enhance service delivery, get rid of corruption and incorporate the extensive use of technology in the Juciciary, then he will leave a better and more long lasting legacy in the Judiciary. Please stop wasting our time with this dress code crap.
The CJ was given a very strong mandate to run the Judiciary and he should not misuse that mandate to bully and bulldoze his personal will into the judiciary and if he persists with this agenda I think both the bench and the bar should stand up to him.
I have heard over 1,001 grievances raised against the kenyan judiciary. I don't recall any one of those grievances I heard raising issue with the judge's dress code. Cj Mutunga please get your priorities right.
