Court Use Your Teeth and Bite – Cliff Ombetta on Miguna’s Deportation

Finally the National Resistance Movement General, Miguna Miguna is safe, at the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. He was late last night deported by the Jubilee administration following five days of incarceration, despite the high court issuing several orders for his release.

Miguna was yesterday arraigned in a Kajiado Court to face treason charges but refused to take plea arguing he was supposed to appear in the Mlimani high court in Nairobi. The high court yesterday suspended all criminal cases in the republic against the NASA leader until he is arraigned in court today by 11 a.m. The government instead chose to deport him to Canada, a country his other country of citizenship.

“My Lord, use your teeth and bite very hard, the law must be followed to the latter,” Miguna’s lawyer Cliff Marube Ombeta said following the deportation incident. The case is currently underway in the Kilimani court and Justice Kimaru has ordered that;

1. The  Court orders must be obeyed & complied with
2. The 2nd and 3rd respondents to swear affidavits on how Miguna was released to immigration
3. The Director of immigration to file affidavit by Friday indicating how he came into possession of Miguna
4. The IG Boinet and DCI head Kinoti to swear affidavits on why they should not be punished for contempt
5. Boinet and Kinoti to personally appear in court on 15th of February.

We will keep you posted!

“I Cause the Salga Stretch Accidents” – Schola

On 27th February’s, I woke up at 4 am and switched on my TV. Unfortunately, my GoTV Max subscription had ran out. Though I wanted to watch CNN, I ended up switching to KBC, a channel rarely watched in this country.

At about 8 am there was an evangelical program. I don’t follow such programs but that day I chose to watch. I was surprised with what I saw and this has formed the basis of this article.

Kenyan evangelical Churches are known to preach for financial prosperity. Their Gospel is curved to lure people into giving out their hard earned money to the church in the guise of tyth and the infamous “kupanda mbegu!” The naive people of faith give out this offerings in exchange for the so called “blessings” and “miracles!”

“Today, I won’t preach, for what I have in store for you will surprise you,” the televangelist warned as he introduced the program. The next scene was of a recorded crusade from Malindi.

The program focused on a testimony of a lady by the name of Schola. This lady claimed she, together with her colleagues, were responsible for the numerous road accidents along the Salgaa stretch.

She went ahead to claim that she is a member of an identified cult led by her high school teacher. The lady said her family is well off, and lives in Karen. She left home after police foiled her attempt to wipe out her family (parents and younger brother). She even confessed that a police lost his life from the incident.

An accident that claimed 36 lives

The Salga stretch has claimed so many lives. Many families have been broken, many children orphaned and people left with disabilities. The testimony of Schola should not go uninvestigated.

In the video, Schola claims she has a tattoo that  makes her powerful. She can easily control a man by just looking at him. She says she got money from men by controlling them give away their ATMs and PIN. She goes ahead to claim that the police are aware of her group and dread them.

Schola went to the church to seek or redemption after she refused to complete her assigned mission.

“I was ordered to wipe my family out but I failed. Because of this, I was to choose between my family and one million people.”

The confession of Schola may be true, or just part of the schemes of one of our local churches to claim publicity. If it is the latter, then this church must have bitten more than it can chew.

The testimony of Schola should not go uninvestigated. We’ll be giving credence to the shithole country narrative if we let such a confession go uninterogated. You can’t go to a state owned mediahouse and make such claims and walk Scot free.

But methinks this lady Schola is a fraud. While she claims to have been born and raised in Karen, she hardly spoke English.Her Swahili is also that with the Coastal accent. I think she is a fraud, just like the one unearthed by Jich Pevu some years back. It is no longer a secret that Kenyan evangelists buy testimonies to entice their congregants. But whatever the case, this lady and her pastor must be investigated. What’s your opinion on this?

The Slum Boy Who Scored 392 yet to join Kabianga School

Yesterday, in Mathare 4A, part of the Nairobi City Slums, a boy by the name Hezron Francis reached out to me. I gave him my hear, and I thought I would do him a favour if I shared his story.

Hezron is the second born to the late Robert Odhiambo Munuan’go and Beatrice Achieng. His dad Robert was the sole breadwinner.

This young man just did his KCPE and passed with flying colours. He scored 392 marks and was fortunate to be among the lucky few pupils invited to join the Kabianga, a National School in Kericho.

Having performed exemplary at the Bridge International Academy, Mathare Branch, the school got him a scholarship. Unfortunately, the education fund supports the school fee. The young boy is stranded.

 

 

I went to their house, and interestingly, I discovered that his younger brother too sat for the exams and scored 331. The two are just at home while their peers are already in class. The younger one, Jackson Samuel, has been invited to join Olympic Secondary School.

On Monday, as I passed by their house, I saw Hezron paint his mabati suitcase. While his fellow students were getting new cabins for form one, he chose to use the one their family has been using.

As a politician, most people know me. So the boy must have known I could help.
“Yesterday was the deadline to join the school, yet am still here!” the boy said with tears lingering in his eyes.
“I just need Kshs. 10,000 and transport to Kericho and I can go ahead with my studies. Kindly help me!”

I told him I would try, but I don’t know what to do. His story reminded me of my case in 2003. I had sat for my exams in 2002, and when the calling letters came in January. I was invited to join Sawagongo High School.

The story of this family rekindles the painful memory of how Mr. Ogot, the then Sawagongo Principle, send me together with my grandmother away, arguing that his school was not some village school where students joined at any time.

I came to Nairobi to look for scholarship in vain. I organized fundraising in May only to raise Kshs. 12,000, which was way too little to the Kshs. 70,000 I targeted.

After struggles, here and there, and getting the school uniforms and all the other stuff, I thought I could join Sawagongo. As to how I eventually did my O’levels is a story for another day.

I feel this boy, and I want to help him. But since I don’t have a deep pocket, there’s nothing more I can do than share his story with you so that any Good Samaritan out there can help these boys join School.

I’ve their family contacts and the other details. If you are a person of means and willing to help, kindly help these boys join secondary School.

Huge Public Debt with Little to Show for It

According the Central Bank of Kenya’s statistics, our country’s domestic debt is Sh2.118 trillion while the international debt is Sh2.294 trillion. But remember this was in June. In essence, the government is borrowing at a monthly rate of Kshs. 86 billion, tremendously beating the average rates of 2016 and 2015 which stood at Kshs. 54 billion and Kshs 55 billion respectively. It is, therefore, the highest rate since our country begun listing public debt.

Finance CS Henry Rotich

In 2013, barely two months after Jubilee had come into power, our total debt was at Sh1.894 trillion, which was 42 per cent of GDP then. Today, our national debt stands at Kshs. 4.4 trillion and our debt to GDP ratio is at a whopping 59%. With a population of about 45 million people, it then means that each Kenyan owes at least Sh97,000.

The primary reason for Jubilee’s insatiable appetite for syndicated loans is to fund infrastructural projects and budget deficits. However, these projects have proven to be cash-cows. Their costs are highly inflated and billions of shillings of the borrowed money end up in private accounts. For example, this administration is yet to give a comprehensive report on how it spent the Eurobond proceeds. One would then wonder why some people still support such a regime.

Blinded by hatred and tribalism

We, the young generation, hardly believe it when we are told Malaysia and Singapore are our peers.  The ASEAN nations have made tremendous progress. While these counties are now Asia’s financial hubs, we remain a third world country that depends heavily on international borrowing and grants.

We still grapple with episodes of hunger and famine. We still fight over elections, defend our tribesmen who loot from the public coffers, and judge our fellow countrymen and women not on merit, but their native regions.

When the youths in Singapore are using the internet technology to come up with solutions to their country’s problems, we Kenyans are using it to spew hate and spread propaganda. These widening cracks in the foundation of our nation have made the country be like a Skyscraper with a shaky foundation.

We can barely feed our families as the cost of virtually everything has gone up. The cost of higher education is at the rooftop, and is set to increase even further. The lecturers are on strike. Our hospitals are ill-equipped and staffed; the nurses are just from a six-month national strike and the doctors are threatening to go back to the streets if the government doesn’t implement their CBA.  But in the sight of these glaring problems, we’re still too blinded to see any evil and crimes committed by Jubilee. We feel the impact of the huge public debt, but would suffer under Jubilee than have a regime change.

Kenya, a 43-Storey Building with a Shaky Foundation

It is less than 20 days, and we celebrate our 54th Jamhuri day, the day our country became a republic, just a few months after we freed ourselves from the British rule. As we’ve learned in history, back then, we believed that with self-rule, all Kenyans would be equal in the eyes of the law. Nobody thought one tribe was superior to another, and neither did we have stereotypes that a particular tribe is violent or corrupt. Yes, we were poor, uneducated and we had health care problems, but we coexisted as a people of one nation called Kenya.

But after decades of misrule, heinous impunity, pervasive corruption, poor policy choices, and rampant tribalism and nepotism, the fiber binding us together became loose.

On Monday, after the Supreme Court upheld Uhuru Kenyatta’s win in the presidential election rerun, our country became even more divided. There’s no better way to elucidate our country’s current state of affairs than the caption done by Gado, arguably our best cartoonist. He drew a cartoon of a woman (Wanjiku) split into two halves. One side of her is jumping and ululating in celebration, and the other half is upset and bitter.

Supreme Decision as captured by Gado

If you open your TV today, all the stations are preaching peace and unity. The panelists are advising Uhuru Kenyatta, and to some extent, the opposition chief Raila Odinga, to unite our country. But the question is our country able to come together again and get back to how it was at independence?

Words of Our National Anthem

54 years of reciting our national anthem, yet those words remain just words, as meaningless as the head of a corpse.

How can justice be our shield and defender when one tribe celebrates an injustice done to the other tribe, while another tribe bemoans a justice accorded to another?

How can we dwell in unity when Jubilee butchers our brothers and sisters like rodents?

How can we’ve peace and liberty when the people who have the mandate to protect us are the same people maiming and killing our loved ones?

How can we have plenty within our borders, when one tribe prides itself as the owners of the economy

It took all the 43 tribes to build the country Kenya; it is, therefore, sick and saddening when the state denies the citizens of this country the right to choose their own path. If we want peace, we must seek justice. Justice needs all our hands on deck, and here we surely have some work to do.

We cannot move forward as a nation when one or two tribes control the country’s resources and view the presidency as a preserve of their own. Under such circumstance, the best step forward is to disintegrate! Yes, let’s secede.

Secession may be a herculean task, and yes it should; it is the easy approaches, like “there’s always another chance,” and “ACCEPT and MOVE ON,” that have landed us where we are today.

To coexist together, the principles of equity, fairness, and justice must suffice. But since this has failed, let us just separate in peace, and save whatever little respect and dignity we’ve left.

The cracks in the foundation of our country are perhaps beyond repair, and, therefore, we may bring down the building called Kenya and construct it afresh. If this is no done, then the Skyscraper is likely to collapse, and the impact of this fall will be gargantuan and calamitous.
