Before We Kill Each Other For Our Politicians.... Read This Book

The British eight-year campaign against the Kikuyu uprising involved two prongs. One was a military offensive against the rebels(Mau-Mau), who had taken to the mountain forests and fought a guerrilla war from there. It took over two years and 20,000 British troops, supported by the British air force, to subdue the insurrectionists, who fought largely with only homemade weapons against Britain’s vastly superior firepower. And even then, the insurgents may have held out even longer if not for Kikuyu who assisted the British. (These were the Ngati or Home guards. We are talking of the Njonjos,Njiris,Chief Luka in Lari,Nyachae's,Michukis just to name a few). For such “meritorious services,” these Kikuyu, who became known as loyalists, were handsomely rewarded materially with land.
What the Kikuyu suffered and endured at the hands of the British colonialists and loyalists in the detainee and labor camps and enclosed villages constitutes a significant portion of Elkins’s book. From the beginning there were the “screenings,” the colonialists’ preferred term for ruthless torture, designed to get information from a Mau Mau suspect and persuade him or her to confess Mau Mau affiliation. Methods of “persuasion” involved beatings, electric shock, cigarette burns and fire, and “bottles (often broken), gun barrels, knives, snakes, vermin, and hot eggs...thrust up men’s rectums and women’s vaginas,” Elkins writes.
But despite this contradiction, the British continued to employ brutality and terror. This was particularly true of people the British considered “hard core” Mau Mau men, against whom there was a great deal of “emasculating” violence involving castration. Men in some of these camps wrote letters, which Elkins found during her research, describing pliers that were used to crush testicles before they were literally ripped off.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are still fighting with the loyalist in 2008, only now they just wear a different kind of uniform called the coalition governement.

Kenyan Killed In Baltimore,MD

It is my greatest regret to inform you of the untimely death of Alexander Waiganjo Njuguna, 29, of Baltimore Maryland USA.
Alex is the son of Rose Njeri Njuguna of Baltimore. As far as we know right now, Alex was murdered by unknown assailants in his apartment sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning of this week. The police will give us more information hopefully by Tuesday.

Kenyan Jailed For 66 years for Rape

A HIV-positive Kenyan man has been jailed for 66 years by a US court for raping two teenage girls two years ago.

William N Karanja, 34, received 40 years for two counts of second-degree rape, 20 for two counts of second-degree sex offence and six for two counts of knowingly attempting to transmit HIV.

Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge, Louise G Scrivener, also gave Karanja 15 years for three counts of recklessly endangering a minor, to be served concurrently. "I believe from the evidence that Karanja is a sexual predator," Scrivener said.

And as Karanja began his long stretch in a US federal jail, it emerged yesterday that he had a history of sexual offences dating back to his youth. A close relative who spoke to The Standard in London said: "Karanja has previously raped women in Kenya, but his victims were too scared to come forward. My family is devastated, 66 years in a foreign jail, ailing with HIV-AIDS, it's most regrettable, our heart goes to his wife and the victims," the cousin, who did not wish to be named, said.

According to The Gazette, a Montgomery County newspaper, the incident happened in June 2003 when Karanja invited the then-14-year-old girls to a 'party' in his apartment on 13200 block of Bristlecone Way, Germantown in Montgomery County.

When the girls arrived that night, they realized they were the only guests and called another male friend to join them, Assistant State Attorney, Mary Herdman, said. Karanja supplied the girls and their friend with alcohol, and all three juveniles ultimately passed out in various locations in the apartment.

At about 1 a.m., a neighbour said he heard a girl screaming "No" from inside Karanja's apartment. He looked in through a window and saw Karanja having sex with one of the girls while she attempted to push him away, Herdman said. When police arrived, they found all three children partially or completely naked and unresponsive to the officers' attempts to wake them up.

Both victims, now 16, made emotional appeals to the court. "He stole from me in order to get pleasure for himself," one said. "I was violated, taken advantage of and humiliated". The other said tearfully: "I think there should be no sympathy for him." [Passage omitted]

Why Kenya needs US Article I In Our Constitution

We all agree that kenya has a constitution that was drafted by men and women who did not have our interests at heart. But no constitution is perfect, that's why amendments come handy from time to time.
The one amendment we need most is an article prohibiting members of parliament from voting salary or benefit incliments and benefiting from it. This may help our self serving fatcats from fleecing us dry in the name of public service.Do you know that "justice " Rigiera can afford to pay off US secretary of state?. According to public records, Dr. Rice earns 190,000 per year. If my math is correct, that is in the ream of 15 million kenya shillings and change. Our retired justice earns kshs 3 million per month or usd 468,000. Heck, he even earns more than George Bush!
Until we change our mindset about public service, we will continue to pay some hefy numbers with zero service. Just for your laughs, Kiraitu said that MPs want to pay taxes, but they need sometime to work it out, so that they are not embarassed. And mind you he has a masters degree from Harvard..... never mind so is George bush.

Are We Back To The Special Branch Days??

As i write this blog today, the Republic of Kenya just turned 45. The sad fact is that we are regressing backwards at a faster rate with this madness called coalition government.The silence on the elites that claim to be leaders is saddening. I wonder where the Karua's, Kiraitu's and our miracle worker Kalonzo are. The reality on the ground is that people are coming to the down of reality that they shed their blood for these pigs who can even sleep with their mothers for a day in power. At least we all agree that kibaki is nuts, and the good thing is that he is not running again. The chilling part is the mad men and women who will take that country to the dogs sooner than later.

Our 10th mbunge at Work

As i wrote in this blog before, we are only safe from our waheshimiwas only when they are away in recess. Either they are eroding our civil liberties or they are stealing our money.
The same people who made us believe that Moi was the most dangerous thing that ever existed, they are even going a step further. Our hopes are now on the hands of General Kiguoya(as i remembered, that was his nickname in 1992).
I am disturbed by the death silence of the usual gang. Raila must have been away spending 40 million on a single trip, making us believe that recession was just in our minds... not at central bank.
As kibaki signs the new law, the information minister has the power to raid media houses if something that does not praise the government is printed. Friends, we are fast tracking backwards with the new coalition movement. Do you remember when Raila said that we do not need an opposition in Parliament, that is what he had in mind. No one is checking the system. Its very true yote wawezekana.... na kazi iendelee

beheading video ..(click here to view)!!

Most of the sane people that have had a chance to watch President bush for the last eight years now agree with me that the man is not very smart, which i also believe that it's an understatement.
But no matter how much i differ with him, i profoundly support him in his support to get rid of some mad regimes that are threatening humanity. i know we can disagree with his choice and conduct of the war, but we can all agree that the Taliban's and their brothers have no regard for human life, and i feel that the deserve more of the same. I think Gitmo should be opened 24-7 for some humans who have crossed a certain moral line. Just watch the video... and make your own conclusions. I warn you that it's too graphic for the faint soul.

Kenyan Stabbed to Death in Seattle, WA

Kenyan woman was stabbed to death on Thursday while traveling on a vehicle south on interstate 5. Interstate 5 runs all along the western coast of the United States. The incident happened about 5 miles north of Seattle.

Jane Kariuki, 42, was traveling on an SUV with her longtime boyfriend, Christel David Murphy, with whom they had a troubled relationship. He was sitting in the back seat behind her. Earlier in the day, Ms Kariuki had asked Murphy to move out of the apartment they shared in Kent a suburn of Seattle.

The argument continued on in the car before the incident happened. He reached for her neck, put her in a choke hold and stabbed her several times. The driver of the vehicle immediately pulled over and called 911. Murphy is reported to have gotten out of the SUV, threw the knife on the ground and lit a cigarette.

According to local reports, Ms Kariuki died at Harborview Medical Center several hours later. Murphy is under arrest and is expected to answer a first-degree murder charge on Monday. His bail was set on Friday set at $4 million dollars.

Wife Prank gone Wrong

The War Criminal Suspects View Point

If my projections are correct, we are days away from barack obama to become US President elect. To many parts of the world, that notion is just a reason to kill a goat in the name of sikukuu.
But to a few unlucky Kenyans who were named on the waki report, the possibility of spending their natural lives in a cold cell in the Hague is looking more than a possibility to a real likelihood. They have a reason to be nervous;someone in the oval office may push for events that may lead to power change in Kenya.
When president kibaki and his Prime minister are held hostage by the same gangs that help kill 3,000 people, i wonder what our top CEOs are thinking. When do you let your lieutenants take one for the team? As Orengo said on Friday, is it time for everyone to carry his own cross?. I think the fear that is with Rutos, Uhuru and the rest is not just by accident. As one Yoruba friend of mine said; It is the fear of what tomorrow may bring that makes the tortoise to carry his house along with him wherever he goes.

Have you ever heard of fraternal polyandry??

I love the Indians, and sometimes they go above and beyond the call of duty to defend stupid cultures.
In order to minimize the need to fight over small land that they inherit from their ancestors,(does it ring a bell... like some communities in Kenya), they practice fraternal polyandry. This is where two brothers share one wife and reduce the need to divide the piece of land over two brothers.
I know what you are all thinking. What about the bedroom pleasures? Believe it or not, they share in shifts, to reduce commotion. I have to take out my hat to the lady of the house, for she has to be the most satisfied in the village.
If that is not kinky enough, the tribe has another tradition. if the husband owes debts that he can't pay, he will lease /loan his wife for a number of days to the creditor which in most cases is the land owner.We are yet to know if the wife can enjoy such privileges are having two husbands, but i suspect the answer is no.Talk of barter trade!!

I have a Dream

Please do not confuse me with Martin Luther King, but i surely have a dream. That sometimes next spring, Tom Cholmondeley the son of the lord dalamere (lord of what by the way) will be set free for killing a second Kenyan in two years and all the charges will be dropped.
As i write this, i want to encourage anyone of means in Kenya, that you can shoot anyone at kencom bus stop at 2pm in the afternoon, and go free. that good news!
The man is supposedly in police custody, but has never tasted prison food. It is a well known fact that he is as comfortable in jail just as at his ranch, and he is always furnished with daily papers of course with regularity.
To those dreamers that think that a white man in Africa can be sentenced to death in 2008, you might as well believe in Santa Claus.We in Kenya are doing relatively better, the white people are just shooting at us. In South Africa,a white settler threw his worker alive to the lions and served as dinner, and the man is still free.As more classified documents are coming in the open, we are learning that baba wambui just negotiated his freedom for himself and a few home guards, so land reform is just a mirage. And every time we try and bring the land issue, have you noted the land owners always threaten bloodshed?. Are we better off poor but "free".Thomas Jefferson had it right when he said If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.

Kenyan Arrested For Rape....Are We losing It People??

An Olathe man who worked at a group home for people with special needs has been charged with raping a 55-year-old client.
Look people, it's one thing to commit a crime, it's another thing to qualify for the dumbest criminal. According to the prosecutors, this crown was free on bond after being arrested on Dateline TV show trying to have sex with a 13 year old girl he had met on line.
As fate would have it, on the day of sentencing, the dude had it all planned. He bought a one way ticket and took off to Nairobi.As with all dumb criminals, he called his Mzungu girlfriend from Amsterdam and spelt his heart out that he is gone for good.
Little did he know that the boys in grey ( rape is a federal crime, so the US Marshals made some calls and the young man is being extradited from the Netherlands)
The amazing part of the story, he told the cops that his favorite shows on TV include cops and CSI!!

Johnson County prosecutors charged John Gichamu, 25, from Kiambu, Kenya on Aug. 25 but he had fled to Amsterdam in the Netherlands and was arrested there a day later, authorities said. He is now awaiting extradition to the United States.

Another Kenyan in US losing his Mind

Fred Magondu, 36, a Kenyan national living on King Arthur Road in Philadelphia, was taken into custody at a Philadelphia nursing home Thursday afternoon and later arraigned on charges of molesting a child who was in his care.

Police said they learned of the rape April 30. The boy receives 24-hour nursing care because he is mentally and physically impaired, unable to speak and blind, police said. According to court records, another individual care nurse, who has been caring for the boy for about nine years, discovered injuries to the boy when she attempted to change his diaper after he arrived at school April 30.

The boy was first examined at St. Mary Medical Center in Middletown and then transferred to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Doctors at both hospitals told police the boy was bleeding and bruised.

Police learned that Magondu, a Harleysville Pediatrics employee who has been caring for the boy for several months, was working at the victim's home from April 29 to 30. Magondu was allegedly alone with the boy from 5 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. before putting him on the bus to school, police said.

Investigators interviewed Magondu in early May at an unnamed Philadelphia nursing home where he works, according to court records. Magondu said that on April 30 the boy had been bleeding but the nurse believed it was a physical problem and had changed a set of soiled linens. Police collected a sample of Magondu's DNA and the boy's bed linens and sent them to National Medical Services for analysis.

In a report to police June 6, the laboratory said the linens tested positive for semen that matched Magondu's DNA and that the possibility of it being from another unrelated person was 1 in 7 trillion, according to court records.

Magondu was arraigned on multiple charges of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, corruption of minors and unlawful contact with minors and sent to Bucks County prison on $250,000 bail. If he is released, the judge ordered that Magondu have no contact with the child and surrender his passport to authorities.

Magondu has been a practical nurse since June 2006 and had renewed his license earlier this month, according to Department of State records. Those records list no prior disciplinary action. He also has an expired graduate permit that lists a prior address in Falls. During his arraignment Magondu told the judge he moved to Philadelphia from Fairless Hills with his wife and three children in January. He has no prior criminal record in Pennsylvania, according to state records.

The newspaper is withholding information about the teen to protect his identity.

Gospel According to Prophet Samuel Ongeri

Just because you have letters in front of your name does not mean you have brains. According to our learned professor, he has nailed the reason for current school strikes.They include Cell phones, loud music and devil worshiping. We solve those four and it's all supa.
But wait. this is not the first time the professor has lost it. During my research, i found an article in November 1988 in an article on the weekly review where the same professor believed that Kenyan dissidents abroad were "creating" school strikes.
Enough with professor, let's analyze the situation without the people of letters.

The course of school strikes is simple; the apple does not fall far from the tree. when parents are burning people in churches and while hiding in homes, and fathers and mothers are financing genocide and no one goes to jail; it does not take a man with letters in front of his name to figure this out.Mr Isack Ruto has a better answer, the crack heads who are burning schools are doing it because they are stressed. With leaders like these, don't you think we truly need a messiah.The young generation are just imitating their parents, and they expect to get away with murder too.

Should We Prepare For The Big One?

As things stand in Kenya today, we know now for a fact that some highly placed politicians in the hight of elections conflict imported two container loads of AK 47 assault rifles.For those who are new to infantry warfare, the rifle can easily fire 600 rounds per minute and has a killing range of 800 meters.
The Kenya intelligence community knows the names of the people who were importing the weaponry, so is the US intelligence who happened to be monitoring the small arms conflict in Somalia.
With the little knowledge we now know, we can all agree that we should be prepared come next elections violence because we all know that violence is the norm.Every time you reward a behavior, the results will likely encourage the behavior to be repeated. All the criminals who funded the election violence from Rutos, Railas,Uhurus are all meeting and toasting in cabinet meetings. Even the actual gangs that raped and killed were set free or will all be set free in the name of reconciliation.
With my simple analysis, last December's elections would be the last one ever in Kenya to involve stones verses guns.The question is,are we prepared for the big one.?
As i said on this blog before, the constitution of Kenya gives ALL people to protect their property and families against destruction and death, even if by lethal force. We can not have a fair play when one group is armed with assault rifles and the rest of us are armed with stones and machetes. It's a high time everyone to take proactive steps towards security by arming ourselves in case the big one happens. Let us choose not to be victims, because politicians always repeat what is rewarded, and violence seems to be paying off in Kenyan politics.

What Can We Learn From Njoroge's Death??

As i write this piece, i greatly congratulate all people of goodwill who came out to support the fund raising, phone calls and mobilizing as we faced a daunting task to raise funds to send one of us home; Duncan Njoroge.
As Winston Churchill once said, a society is judged by how it treats it's weakest.I fondly remember that as we convened to plan how to fund raise for the body of Njoroge, friends whom he had partied with were not there to be counted. If i can be honest, we were six in number. Some Kenyan churches even refused to advertise that a 22 years old with no family in the US had passed, God forbid that anything less that shouting at the pull pit would be needed.
Last Sunday,Njoroge's final memorial was a very low key event, but the 26 people who showed up did put their wallets where their souls were, most of whom had never even seen the young man.We were able to raise the remaining $ 3,000 in ten minutes.May the lord bless your pockets.I can't write this without thanking a Mr. Nganga, who has tirelessly taken the parental responsibility to see that the parents get Dans body.
Its just amazing as one speaker said, that we have all seen baby showers with no parking spot, but no one can even show up when a fellow Kenyan has passed.
Dancan did not have a family name to lean on, which is now a trade mark in Dallas metro, or a huge tithing check to be recognized by local pastors. He was just a young man trying to settle here in the old US of A.
If it can happen to him, it can also happen to any of us. He had youth and good health to count on, but death snatched him. It was quite shameful on the Kenyan community, our so called leaders.as one write said, “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.” God speed Dan.

Why all People of Goodwill Should Support Raila's Move

As i write,Baba jimmy is in dilemma. A few years ago, uncle Dan and company was dishing out Mau forest like trees were going out of style. And behold, rivers are now dry on on the brink of drying up from Baringo to Nyahururu.
The Japanese government that sponsored the water project are faced with a white elephant. The dam is complete but there is no water! You don't need to be a geologist to zoom on Google earth to see the destruction.
But what will the eviction of the squatters help? did i say squatters? One of the land owners of the squatters land is Internal security PS, Mr Francis Kimemia who owns 50 acres. The land is so important to him that its now being guarded by Administration police; six of them to be precise.
When you see 10 Mps showing up to defend the forest eviction, the main purpose is two fold. One the Kalenjins benefited from illegal allocation when uncle moi was in power, so they have a lot to loose from their "people" point of view; and the politicians also have huge tracks of lands in the forest.
Land issue aside, lets go to the bottom line issue, security. The molo-kurasoi area saw the bloodiest fighting during the last elections, and it has been the issue of concern since 1992.If we can take the forest back, we can mitigate the fueling of the land fightings in the forest, and possibly have a long term peace solution. If all people of good will can support Baba Castro and Baba Jimmy (we can all agree they have been losing it of late) we can solve two issues; insecurity and environment
We have to save the environment because only 16 per cent of the country’s arable land is productive which is owned by a group of about 20 families while 84 per cent is either arid or semi-arid. Let us join hands and save the country from fast becoming a desert.

My brain Want To Trust Kimunya

I know that i may be wrong, but there is a great tendency that the man baba jimmy empowered to look after our money in the treasury is good with numbers.And let's face it, we can assume the reason baba jimmy returned Kimunya at his majestic office was either he is good with numbers or they had some unfinished business and all the players had to be at the right places after elections.
I had a off the record with an official high enough early last year and he said that baba jimmy and company were buying the grand regency hotel; mind you that was in September of 2007.
Assuming the man was just full of hot air, was it possible that you purse keeper could have mistaken 2.9 billion with 1.8 billion?
Beth Mugo want us to believe that the hotel was over appraised and that's why it was just disposed. You know no need to bid for such a small amount of 1.89 billion, God forbid someone could have paid more!
Mr kimunya, i know you may want to finish your stalled apartment complex near Lavington shopping center, but did you really needed all the billions at the expense of the IDPS and countless hungry Kenyans.Listening to the Rutos lecture about corruption makes me think that we truly need the messiah. But we voted them in....oops help them steal the elections. We got the government we deserved.When they came up with the slogan "kazi iendelee" we should have asked which Kazi they were talking about.

Kenyan Man Drowns in Florida

It is with great sadness to inform you the death of Duncan Njoroge, who happened to drown in Florida.He was a graduate of Gichuru High School in Limuru and a resident of Dallas, TX.
There will be a fund raising on Sunday,6th of July 2006 at The Empowerment Christian Center, 12879 Josey Ln, Farmers Branch, TX 75234 Suite 130 on Saturday July 1, 2008 at 5.00 PM to 7.00 PM.
I kindly ask everyone of us, to step up to the plate and help the njoroge's family get the body of their son back home.Lets put our religious and petty politics aside for once and do what is necessary. We all know that it can happen to one of us.

Should We Tax our Royal Familiies?

As things stand, we are not sure whether finance minister was just playing the cloud to sound like a good guy by suggesting that he will tax them like the rest of us or he meant what he said.
I want to assume the former. If the kibaki administration wanted to tax the Mps, all what baba jimmy would do was to sign an executive order and it would become law. Harry Truman signed one to desegregate the military way before civil rights movement became fashionable.
But just like the UK that education most of our elites, they want to behave just like their former colonial masters. They want all the allowances just like the queen.They want to build roads, hospitals and fund schools but please do not mention their money.
Do you also notice the death silence by all the mighty and famous on the issue? What is the opinion of Uhurus,Karuas and the rest? When it comes to issues affecting the politicians stealing from us, my friends there is no ODM and PNU. They form a good coalition of the willing which happens to be the majority. As i said on this blog, i look forward for the days when the Mps will be attending parliament at least one every three months, because i know they will not have time to steal my money or erode my liberties.

Kenya Mps and Concubines

Hello people, our Kenyan politicians are at it again.They re trying to push a bill to redefine what a family constitutes. Does it matter?, yes i think. The reason is that they want us the tax payers as from august to pay insurances and benefits to their concubines. Thats right, if a politicians wife want to know how many concubines his hubby has, he just need to call the human resources and bribe to know how many of them are insured under the husband plan.
And just if you happen to miss it, as the IDPs are still waiting for any money which they dont know that are not getting a dime, a bill was passed to award one million shillings each for the 350 former members of parliament for the fact that they were not overpaid as much.Can you imagine a company coming up with an idea that an engineer, teacher or doctor to come back after 30 years and demand bonuses for 2008 because he was not paid as much in 1963?
Did anyone want to ask about inflation adjustment to reflect how much they salary were in 1970 compared to 2008?
That is what we all get from our coalition government. It is them eating and us to cheer. Good luck gentlemen

Comparing Texas with Kenya

How much do state senators and state representatives get paid in the state of Texas? What is the governor's salary? What about the salaries of other statewide elected officials?
Texas is a dominant force in the economy of the United States. One of the largest growing economies in the nation, Texas is, as of 2006, home to six of the top 50 companies on the Fortune 500 list and 56 overall, more than any other state. Texas has an economy that is the second largest in the nation and the 15th largest in the world based on GDP figures. As the largest exporter of goods in the United States, Texas currently grosses more than 100 billion dollars a year in trade with other nations.

In 2006, Texas had a gross state product of $1.09 trillion,[1] the second highest in the U.S. Gross state product per capita as of 2005 was $42,975.

Texans are often surprised to learn that our part-time citizen-legislators are paid a salary of $600 per month, less than minimum wage, as provided by Article III, Section 24, of the Texas Constitution.

We also receive a per diem, or a daily payment for room and board, during regular and special sessions of the Legislature. In accordance with the Constitution, the Texas Ethics Commission sets the per diem, which is usually determined by the Internal Revenue Service on a city by-city basis and was $118 for Austin during the 76th Legislative Session this year. Legislators' salaries may be increased by the Texas Ethics Commission, but only with voter approval, and the commission has never recommended a pay increase.

Although the lieutenant governor is the second-highest elected official in the executive branch of Texas government, he is paid the same salary as members of the Texas Senate and the House of Representatives, $600 per month.

If the governor is out of state for 24 hours or more, the lieutenant governor becomes acting governor and receives the governor's salary, pro-rated on a daily basis.

According to House Bill 1, the appropriations bill passed by the 76th Legislature this year, Governor George W. Bush is paid an annual salary of $115,345 in addition to his residence in the Governor's Mansion. When Governor Bush is out of state, Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry receives $316 per day, instead of his regular salary of approximately $20 a day.Now compare this

According to a section of the Kenyan elite. At the height of the Anglo Leasing and Goldenberg corruption scandals, it was not unusual to hear some big shot make statements such as: "Kenya is a big and rich country. Years of economic robbery have not stopped it from continuing to function and produce."

And therein lies the problem. The illusion of national riches is used as the pretext to plunder the economy.

According to these people, it is okay to splash and binge away without a care as long the ‘cow’ continues to produce milk, never mind that the ‘cow’ is emaciated and barely on its feet!

It is the same argument that a famous kleptocrat by the colourful names of Mobutu Sese Seko Nkuku Ngbendu wa Za Banga used to bleed his country dry. Mobutu boasted that a president of a country as big and as rich as Zaire deserved to indulge in befitting pomp and splurge. We know how this delusion ended. By the time he died 11 years ago, Zaire lay in utter ruins. Not even the wealth of the country — which he mistook to be his — could save him from a humiliating exit and eventual death. If there was a dictionary of corrupt dictatorships, Mobutu’s only bequest to the world would be an entry under the word kleptocrat. Here, his name would be listed as a synonym.

And so, I ask again, how rich is Kenya, really? It is a pertinent question especially now as we await the yearly ritual called the Budget Speech. Let us attempt and answer — with a comparative sense of perspective.

A common measure of the size of a country’s economy is the so-called Gross Domestic Product. It is the value of all final goods and services produced in a country in one year. Using the online CIA World Fact Book as our source of statistics for last year, we compare Kenya with three rich countries.

In size, Germany is smaller than Kenya’s Eastern Province but its estimated GDP for last year was $3.259 trillion. That is roughly 112 times greater than Kenya’s GDP. Even with a population two and half times that of Kenya, we can agree that Germany is truly a rich country.

The desert country of the United Arab Emirates has a population ten times smaller than Kenya. In area, it is exactly the size of Coast Province and yet its economy is six and half times bigger.

Israel, another desert country with even fewer resources, is only slightly larger than Nyanza Province, but its economy is four and half times bigger than ours.

In all these countries, pay and perks for top public and private sector officials is equal or less than those of their Kenyan counterparts. Surprised?

In the US State of Arkansas, the Governor earns a salary of U$80,000 per annum, or about Sh400,000 a month. He has two official vehicles. His use of the official helicopter is restricted to urgent and emergency situations only. He often drives himself on weekends and will be seen picking his own groceries at the local grocery. Arkansas, with the same population as Nairobi City, has an economy five times that of Kenya.

The governor of the US State of Maine earns even less — Sh350,000 per month. The governor’s pay has not been raised in 20 years! And yet Maine, whose population is the same as that of Lang’ata Constituency, has an economy twice that of Kenya.

And yet the illusion persists among our eating chiefs that Kenya is rich. They reward themselves as if Kenya overflows with riches. They insist on the same or better material trappings as their counterparts in rich countries.

Now picture the following situation: A top government official is the chief guest at the launch of a government project. A foreign country whose ambassador is represented at the launch has funded the project. The top government official arrives at the site of the launch in a convoy of more than 15 top-of-the line vehicles, including the mandatory Mercedes-Benz, all chauffer-driven. The ambassador arrives in a simple Toyota Corolla. He has carpooled with his Trade Officer who has offered to drive the Ambassador because the official driver is off-duty. With no hint of shame, the top government official in his speech proceeds to plead with the ambassador for more project funds.

When a former ambassador accused some in our government of eating "like gluttons" and vomiting "over all our shoes", one minister accused him of abusing our pride and sovereignty and declared him persona non grata.

Raila's Chicks Are Coming Home To Roost

I could not wait but be amused when Raila was at pains as he tried to explain to a crowd in Kisumu that they should understand that you cannot oppose the administration when you are a senior cabinet member in the same organization.
To many in Kenya, they believe that Raila has sold out, cheap others say for the price of silver. Raila made the case before the elections that IF ODM could be elected, all of the physical and emotional pains wold all end. He forgot the good lines that are being used by Obama his "cousin"... sorry to my Americans friends, (the word cousin in Luoland has a different meaning. if we were alumni of the same school may qualify us to loosely use the word)!.
Raila over promised and under delivered according to this people in Kisumu City.They wanted victory at all cost. But i have to give credit to Tinga because he knows when to through his cards and when to hold.For this week, kudos Tinga for putting the nation first even when you have to explain an inconvenient truth to his people.

Should Kenya Government Give Blank Check Amnesty?

The major undoing for any political marriage is to try to please all the hold overs who are fighting to expect favors for their "people" come 2012 general elections. Thats right, i am talking about 2012.
This is the sick mentality of our elected representative. We are barely 3 months after the elections, economy is in shumbles,gas is 110 per litre, but this air balls want to make you believe that another election shall be our salvation grace.
I am yet to hear words like stimulating the economy,education, food security or micro loans to the thousands who died defending their kings and queens.
It's common knowledge that the karumes,uhuru and kamothos were funding mungiki, while the Tums,Rutos and Seluts were funding Kamatusas.
Matha Karua and some PNU die hards want us to talk to Mungiki,but not any other gang.Some people in the group can foresee the potential of using the gangs in 2012, so they do not want them completely silenced.
Any time we have a government that turns to gangs for protection is doomed to fail.I do believe that Kibaki we go down in history books the same way as Uncle Toroitich; they both left kenyans worst off they they found them, and that is a great shame.

Who Owns Kenya

As we talk about land reform, resetting the landless, just picture this and imagine the reason why this land owners or Wambwanyenyes are silent...
Kenya’s two former First Families and the family of President Mwai Kibaki are among the biggest landowners in the country.

A residual class of white settlers and a group of former and current power brokers in the three post independent regimes follow them closely while a few businessmen and farmers, many with either current or past political connections, also own hundreds of thousands of acres.

The extended Kenyatta family alone owns an estimated 500,000 acres — approximately the size of Nyanza Province — according to estimates by independent surveyors and Ministry of Lands officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The Kibaki and Moi families also own large tracts of land though most of the Moi family land is held in the names of his sons and daughters and other close family members.

Most of the holders of the huge parcels of land are concentrated within the 17.2 per cent part of the country that is arable. The remaining 80 per cent is mostly arid and semi arid land.

In fact, according to the Kenya Land Alliance, more than a half of the arable land in the country is in the hands of only 20 per cent of the 30 million Kenyans. That has left up to 13 per cent of the population absolutely landless while another 67 per cent on average own less than an acre per person.

The building land crises in the country, experts say, will be difficult to solve because the most powerful people in the country are also among its biggest landowners.

The tracts of land under the Kenyatta family are so widely distributed within the numerous members in various parts of the country that it is an almost impossible task to locate all of them and establish their exact sizes.

During Kenyatta’s 15-year tenure in State House, there was an elaborate scheme funded by the World Bank and the British Government, the Settlement Transfer Fund Scheme, under which the family legally acquired large pieces of land all over the country.

Among the best-known parcels owned by Kenyatta’s family, for instance, are the 24, 000 acres in Taveta sub-district adjacent to the 74, 000 acres owned by former MP Basil Criticos.

Others are 50, 000 acres in Taita that is currently under Mrs Beth Mugo, an Assistant minister of Education and niece of the first President, 29, 000 acres in Kahawa Sukari along the Nairobi—Thika highway, the 10, 000 acre Gichea Farm in Gatundu, 5, 000 acres in Thika, 9,000 acres in Kasarani and the 5, 000-acre Muthaita Farm. These are beside others such as Brookside Farm, Green Lee Estate, Njagu Farm in Juja, a quarry in Dandora in Nairobi and a 10, 000-acre ranch in Naivasha.

Do you know Project Coast??

Basson has been renamed "Dr. Death" by the South African media. His work in running the apartheid-era germ and chemical warfare campaign against pro-ANC blacks has resulted in a total of 64 charges against him. The charges range from the accusation of having taken part in 200 murders of Marxist guerillas in neighboring Namibia (called South West Africa until 1990) to drug dealing.

Among other things, Basson has been accused of inventing poisons to kill enemies of the white minority government. The poisons were to be delivered by umbrellas in James Bond-like fashion. Still other poisons were slipped into the underwear of ANC leaders.

Strangely, Basson has also been charged with being somewhat of a "brewmeister" who invented a special kind of beer that would kill blacks if they drank it. He is also charged with trying to invent a genetic additive that was to be added to the water supply. The additive allegedly would have made blacks, but not whites, incapable of reproduction.

Mzungu invades Nyumbani Children's home for HIV Experiments

Lets face it, a society is judged by how it treats the weakest among them. But in Kenya, medical experiments are being carried out at nyumbani Children's Home by UK researchers. The reason we should care is because when it comes to experiments, theses "doctors" give overdoses to see the reaction,give pracebos,try medication on different routes and refuse to treat to see the final results. The sad facts is that this children have no parents to consent to this experiments. Can we all see the slippery road here?
The main genius behind this project is a Cambridge "dr mengele equivalent. His name is dr. eric miller, and i cannot find his picture anywhere. The other "dr. death" equivalent is Dr Sarah Rowland-Jones.And what happens to the children after the medical trials are successful, i know we are all curious.The results are sold to big pharmaceuticals in europe and US, and who cares about the children anyway? You know some side effects of this drugs include kidney failure,brain hemorrhages,strokes just to name a few. Its a high time we sound off the alarms to our people back home

experimental antibiotic Trovan kills hundreds

In Africa, as we all know, the Mzungu syndrome is so big that even if the shows up with dog food and starts to give to the children, no one will notice nor care. But now the corporate America is now going a step further. Instead of conducting medical experiments here in the US, and face possible law suits; why not export the experiments to a remote township in Africa.
That what happened in Nigeria.A new NGO group shows up in the village willing to "help". After injecting god knows what to children, the result was 200 dead, and the hundreds left drooling and weak.
There were no consent forms, and assuming they were, i doubt the villagers could tell the difference between a consent form and an autograph. Parents be ware.

Reverse Robbin Hood Syndrome

It was just comical to watch the same people who contributed money and resources to aid and burn the republic of Kenya to the ground playing self rightous as they contributed 500 million shillings in two hours!. For those people who are good with numbers, the money is expected to be "donated" to more than 1 million people who are displaced.
Please help me out. The Ministry of Agriculture led by William Ruto topped the list of donors with Sh298 million, money contributed by members of staff and parastatals under it.
The Ministry of Energy led by Mr Kiraitu Murungi donated Sh14.8 million.
Other contributors were Ministry of Medical Services( Sh6.6 million), Office of the President (Sh6.3 million) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sh4.6 million.
Ministry of Trade headed by Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and the Ministry of Local Government led by Deputy PM Musalia Mudavadi donated Sh1.3 million each.Is this not the same amount of money that the tax payers allocated this ministries to start with?
They now look like very hard working Kenyans trying to help the poor in the hope that they will look like big donors to their constituents.As i said before, i can't wait to the day when the parliament will go back to their usual calender of attending parliament only two days a month. They will have less time to steal our money.

Who is running our government??

Do you really feel that our government is the problem? Any time we outsource our defense or our family to the government, we will always loose.We are now have to look the other way and beg mungiki not to kill us.The government has never been good at at solving any crisis anywhere, they are just good at creating them.I really look foreword the days the members of the Kenya government used to attend the parliament at least once a month. This is because they will have less time to take your money.

I saw it Coming

A few weeks ago, i predicted to this blog that the government of Kenya was just taking the internally displaced people from last year hotly contested elections for a ride. You see, the government perceives the mash of tents and homeless people as an acceptance that there is a problem, but when we use the army and ship people to where their houses were burnt and cows stolen, some how the problem will be solved.
Some people ended up in their former areas ending up to live in the same tents they were using in the former tent "cities" to quote one politician. The promises from the government of building materials, food planting seeds was just a dream.This government just does not get it.They are never good at solving problems, but very good at patching issues. The kibaki and Raila administration is very busy building 300 police stations. I thought that is what they should have done two or three years ago.But hey, that is the government that we all fought, burned each others homes and were so proud of doing it; just to create a forty member cabinet and fifty assistant ministers just costing us 3 billion dollars every two months.

Let's Speak up

Just Remember .................................
In Germany, they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because i was not a communist;
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was Protestant.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
They came for the rich, i did not care because i was poor
and by that time there was no one left to speak up. --Martin Niemoeller, German Luthern Pastoorr
In Kenya they killed the luos........and i did not care because i was not a Luo
They came for the kikuyus, did not care too because i was not a Kikuyu.
They Killed the Maasai, did not care either because i had no cows
They came for the poor, and there was no one to speak up or defend me.

Have we learnt anything new from history?

Today, i watched a very sad movie; i rarely weep, but today i did. I went to Kenya for a visit, and i came across old videos from the National Archives showing how the British government used systematic torture on our citizens in the name of civilizing the Africans.
Some of the highly used techniques included drilling of the male genitalia with screws, castration, throwing paraffin and setting them on fire, raping women, drilling nails through the ear drums, inserting broom sticks in the anus, nail pulling, eye gouging and literally opening of the skulls!. In fact, Other brutalities included slicing off ears, boring holes in eardrums, flogging people to death, and burning eardrums with cigarettes. A mobile gallows traveled the country. Over 1,000 were hanged, their bodies displayed at crossroads and market places.
forty years later, under the leadership of Kibaki and Odinga, the mayhem is all the same, only the characters have changed. The people who fought for our land, had their eardrums drilled, inserted broom sticks in their anus are dying with no land, no food and no shelter. The children of former home guards are the same people who are raping our country, not their fathers. For the young the home guard kids include Nyachae, Njiris, Njonjos, Waruhius njirus, nyagas just to mention a few. May we learn from history.

Kenyans Arrested in Georgia for Siphoning Gas

With gas prices approaching $4 a gallon, this may become popular — siphoning.

On Tuesday, Marietta police arrested three men who allegedly used a gas can and a garden hose to siphon gasoline from a Mercury Marquis, a Jeep Liberty, a Ford Explorer and a GMC Sonoma. They also used the tools to suck gas from a Pontiac and Buick, according a police incident report.

"This is probably a trend you will see in the near future, as gas prices go up," said Officer Mark Bishop, a police spokesman. "They were stealing from several cars in the same complex, probably for their own use or possibly to sell."

Police arrested Ted K. Mbaya of Dallas, and Kevin M. Gitonga and George Mwangi, both of Marietta. Mbaya and Gitonga, both 20, told police they were students.

All three ran when officers approached them in the parking lot of the Silvercreek apartments at 1776 Roswell Road. Two of the suspects, Mwangi, 19, and Gitonga were shot with Tasers. Mwangi was hit with Taser prongs twice. The first time only one prong stuck to Mwangi, who kept running. The second time, the two prongs hit their target. Mwangi "was apprehended with no injuries," according to the incident report.

Kenyan Millionaire in Boston lose it All

Mr. Wilfred Saroni, the famed CEO of Holden group of companies, is about to lose it all after the closure of his school.
According to the lowell sun,nursing students attending the Holden Medical Institute are waiting for answers after the New Hampshire Board of Nursing abruptly closed the doors to the facility on Monday.

Darlene LaDuke, a single mother from Dracut, just paid her third-semester tuition bill. She was in class taking an exam when word came that the school was closing. She has looked into several other schools and discovered that many of her credits from Holden are not transferable.

“I have no idea what I’m going to do now. Everything goes down the tubes now,” LaDuke said. “I want to be a nurse. I want to help people. I have close to $20,000 invested in this.”

Wilfred Saroni, a Dracut resident who owns the institute as well as several other health-care businesses, came under scrutiny in September 2007 when employees at the Lowell-based Holden Homecare Services complained they were not getting paid, getting paid late or receiving checks that bounced.

Similar complaints began coming into the state Board of Nursing last October, according to Margaret Walker, the board’s executive director. The board requested an audit of the school’s financial statements. Saroni did not comply.

Kenyan in Seattle strangle a 75 year old woman to death

I think we are losing it. A kenyan in Seattle, WA is in big trouble after being accused of killing a 75 years old grandma. According to the DA, the Bail was set at $1 million Saturday for a 24-year-old nursing assistant who is being held on suspicion of strangling a 75-year-old woman after she left a Federal Way nursing home last month.

Njonge was arrested Thursday after the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory said that it had matched his DNA to that found under Britt's fingernails, according to court documents released Saturday.

He was booked in King County Jail for investigation of first-degree murder and robbery.

In the documents, Federal Way police said that Njonge denied killing Britt or having any contact with her that could have resulted in his DNA being under her fingernails.

Njonge is scheduled to return to King County Superior Court by Tuesday, said Pro tem Judge Karli Jorgensen, who set bail. Police also said they found Britt's husband's Costco card in Njonge's wallet.

Kenya Hungs himself in Dallas, TX

A Kenyan citizen has committed suicide after being served with deportation papers.

The name of the Kenyan who took his own life last on April 22nd, 2008, is George Waiyaki. He was found hanging by his roommates in the apartment they shared.

The family has sent out an appeal for help . Kenyans of goodwill are meeting in Dallas to support the loved ones and raise funds to aid in taking the body home.

My 2008 predictions

Now that we have Mr. Emilio as the main mark on the helm, and having to fight everyday the frank from Gema mafia on the left, Kamatusa elite on the right and Tinga from behind no wonder he does not need any more enemies.
Mr. Kibaki is caught between a very hard rock and a very hard stone. As i predicted in this blog, he will try and please every tribe and give everyone a ministry. In fact, Kenya has fifty tribes, if we would to add eight more ministries, all the tribes would be happy campers.
But let's talk about serious issues more. We have about 500,000 internally displaced Kenyans who are sleeping in the cold as our "leaders" take home 3 billion every two months according to mr. Kimunya. The need to resettle them should be the cornerstone of every descent human being.
We all know how messy that business will be. We have no way to know exert number and the arithmetic of working the refund fomula. Do we compensate the same amount for the person how was renting compared to the businessman whose entire company was burnt down? How do we account for the actual displaced persons? What is the olng term goals to address the real land injustices which our politicians are side stepping?
Its a high time we implement the Ndungu land report, not in part, but in totality. I am amazed the silence of the fat land owners when the land issue is being discussed. Otherwise, election violence will be occurring every five years, as sad as i am willing to admit.

Start As You Mean To Go On

We all enter this world in the same way
Soaked in blood, screaming and quite bare

But if you live your life in the right way
That kind of thing doesn't have to stop there

Holy Cow

Who was the first person
Maybe a man maybe a woman
To stand in a field one day
And look at a cow and say
“I'll give them a squeeze
The dangly things, these
And then without a doubt
I’ll drink whatever comes out”

Backlays Banks Keeping mugabe Afloat

I know most of us have heard the madness going on with our comrade Robert Mugambe. After about 24 years on the driving seat at his tender age of 87, the young comrade believes that all what he needs if five more years.
The inflation of Zimb (as it's commonly known) it's about 3,000%. In short, when you go to buy bread, you need a sackload of money. In fact, 7,000 Zimbs dollars equate to 25 cents of a dollar. But how is mugambe able to keep the police, the army happy?
You guessed it, the fat corporate bank called Backlays.
Barclays Bank, which owns the naming rights to an Atlantic Yards area: "BARCLAYS is bankrolling President Robert Mugabe’s corrupt regime in Zimbabwe by providing substantial loans to cronies given land seized from white farmers. The British bank lent £750m to the country’s new landowning elite in the first half of this year, mostly through a government scheme to boost farm productivity. This weekend Barclays was under pressure to say whether it had lent money to five of Mugabe’s ministers — each named in European Union sanctions."
That's how this regimes stay afloat, through financiers who just care about the simplle bottom line. Shame on you.

Have you ever heard of Breast Ironing?

The people of Cameroon are really losing it. Apparently, there is an old preactice there where the young women breasts are flattened in clude wepons so that they do not look sexy and for fear of being raped.
The UN says that 3.8 million West and Central African girls are at risk of a painful form of body mutilation know as 'breast ironing'.

In Cameroon where the practice is most widespread, 50% of adolescent girls in cities and a quarter of all girls nationwide have their breasts 'ironed,' often by their mothers.

The 'ritual' is performed by massaging the girls' chests with heated objects like stones, in order to reverse their pubescent development. The mums say it's driven by fear of unwanted male attention, rape and pre-marital pregnancies.

According to UNFPA, breast ironing exposes girls to numerous health problems such as abscesses, infections, dissymmetry of the breasts, cysts, and even the complete disappearance of one or both breasts.

Nevertheless breast ironing is widespread and interestingly, the high prevalence in cities attributed to the effects of urbanization.

In Cameroon, the Network of Aunties Association, RENATA, made up of members who have undergone the practice, is trying to stop breast ironing by drawing public attention to its dangers in radio and television spots and by disseminating leaflets

death of Patrice Lumumba

January 17 marks the forty-first anniversary of the brutal assassination of Patrice Lumumba. The murder of the leader of the Congolese independence struggle and one of the most impassioned critics of the colonial oppression of Africa continues to haunt governments in both Europe and America.

In November, an all-party commission of inquiry formed by the Belgian government released a report acknowledging that Belgium played a role in the murder of the Congolese leader.

The admission was far too little and came far too late. The Belgian government decided to launch the commission as a show of repentance for past crimes. Its aim was to smooth the way for increased involvement in its former African colony following the fall of the Mobutu dictatorship and to improve its bargaining position vis-à-vis the United States, its principal economic rival in the region.

If we want to engage in frank dialogue with our former colonial partners, then we have to also consider some painful periods from our colonial past, said a Foreign Ministry spokesman of the commissions findings.

At the same time, the limited admissions served as a means of whitewashing the growing revelations about the assassination in the last few years, in both the book by Flemish historian Ludo de Witte published two years ago, De Moord Op Lumumba, and by journalists who interviewed Belgian officers and soldiers who participated in the killing.

Focus has been further brought to the assassination by the recent film Lumumba, directed by Raoul Peck, which recreated the horrific murder.

The film begins with the nightmarish scene of Belgian soldiers unearthing the remains of the Congolese leader and one of his comrades who were shot to death by a firing squad just days before. Determined to deny supporters of Congolese liberation even a corpse around which they could rally, the order was given to obliterate every physical trace of Lumumba. Thus, with axes, saws, acid and firealong with ample quantities of whisky to dull their sensesthe soldiers set about their grisly task.

The commissions report concluded that authorities in Brussels and Belgiums King Baudouin knew of plans to kill Lumumba and did nothing to save him. It insisted, however, that there is no documentary evidence that Belgium ordered the Congolese leaders death.

It did acknowledge that the government covertly channeled funds and arms to regional secessionist groups within the Congo that were violently opposed to Lumumba. The report put much of the blame on Baudouin, who died, in 1993, alleging that the King pursued his own post-colonial policy behind the backs of elected officials. Some parties within the Belgian government have responded by calling for a debate on the future of the royal family.

In fact, earlier investigations have uncovered ample proof that the assassination of Lumumba was the direct result of orders given by the Belgian government and the Eisenhower administration, acting through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and local clients financed and advised by Brussels and Washington.

De Wittes book cited a telegram sent three months before Lumumbas death from Count Harold dAspremont Lynden, then minister for African affairs, to Belgian officials in the Congo:

The main aim to pursue in the interests of the Congo, Katanga and Belgium is clearly Lumumbas definitive elimination, said the memorandum. Given that the Congolese leader had already been deposed from power and placed under house arrest at the time, there was no mistaking the meaning of these words.

Similar revelations have surfaced from the US side. Last year, the government released archive material related to the Kennedy assassination that included an interview with the White House minute-taker under the Eisenhower administration, Robert Johnson.

In a meeting held with security advisers in August 1960, two months after Congo achieved its formal independence from Belgium, Eisenhower ordered the CIA to eliminate Lumumba, according to Johnsons account.

There was a stunned silence for about 15 seconds and the meeting continued, Johnson recalled.

The CIAs director, Allen Dulles, referred to the Congolese leader as a mad dog.

Among the American agents on the ground in the Congo was a young CIA man working under diplomatic cover, Frank Carlucci, who tried to work his way into Lumumbas confidence in the months before the murder. Carlucci went on to become national security advisor and defense secretary in the Reagan administration and is today the chairman of the Carlyle Group, the influential merchant bank that includes George Bush Sr. among its directors.

According to Larry Devlin, then the CIA station chief in Leopoldville (Kinshasa), the agencys chief technical officer arrived in the African nation shortly after the elimination order from Eisenhower. With him he brought a tube of poisoned toothpaste that was to be placed in the Congolese leaders bathroom. The improbable plot was dropped, however, in favor of a more direct method. Lumumba was delivered into the hands of his bitterest political enemy, Moises Tshombe, the secessionist leader of Katanga.

The assassination took place less than seven months after the Congo had declared its independence, with Lumumba as its first prime minister.

Lumumba was among the most courageous and principled figures in a generation of young nationalist leaders who came forward in the second half of the twentieth century to claim freedom from European colonialism.

These forces were ill prepared for the challenge of leading the immense eruption of social struggle that swept the continent. Moreover, both those who were murdered, like Lumumba, and those who survived were handed a poison chalice by the old colonial powers in the form of the arbitrary borders that they had drawn in the nineteenth century scramble to divide and conquer Africa.

In the Congo, in particular, Belgian colonialism had deliberately kept the African population untrained and uneducated, reduced to the status of beasts of burden for the extractive industries that looted the countrys vast mineral and other natural wealth.

On the eve of independence, the Congo, a territory larger than Western Europe, was seriously underdeveloped. There were no African army officers, only three African managers in the entire civil service, and only 30 university graduates. Yet Western investments in Congos mineral resources (uranium, copper, gold, tin, cobalt, diamonds, manganese, zinc) were colossal. These investments meant that the West was determined to keep control over the country beyond independence. The Belgians organized the transfer of power in deliberate manner to ensure that independence would at best be a formal fiction.

Following widespread rioting and strikes in 1959, the colonial power surprised all of the nationalist leaders by scheduling elections for May 1960. In a chaotic rush to take advantage of the fruits of independence, 120 different parties were formed, most of them regionally or ethnically based. Only one, the Mouvement National Congolais or the MNC, led by Lumumba, favored a centralized government and a Congo united across ethnic and regional lines.

Lumumbas rise and fall was meteoric. Plucked from a Belgian colonial jail where he was beaten and tortured for advocating independence, he was flown to Brussels to participate in round-table discussions that were aimed at smoothing the way to a peaceful and smooth transition to a regime that would leave Belgiums financial interests in the Congo intact, while transferring the trappings of state power from the white colonialists to a new native elite.

Pecks film Lumumba acutely captures the immense social contradictions underlying the independence movement and the class position of Africas new petty-bourgeois nationalist rulers. A scene portrays Lumumbas speech before the independence day celebrations attended by the Belgian king and his ministers as well as the collection of black opportunist politicians into whose hands Belgium intended to entrust the new independent state.

In the midst of a ceremony in which the Belgians had congratulated themselves on successfully civilizing the Congolese and preparing them for self-rule, Lumumba spelled out in graphic terms the reality of colonial oppression, describing it as 80 years of humiliating slavery which was imposed upon us by force:

We have known harassing work, exacted in exchange for salaries which did not permit us to eat enough to drive away hunger, to clothe ourselves, or to house ourselves decently, or to raise our children as creatures dear to us.... We have known ironies, insults, blows that we endured morning, noon and night, because we are negroes.... We have seen our lands seized in the name of allegedly legal laws, which in fact recognized only that might is right.... We will never forget the massacres where so many perished, the cells into which those who refused to submit to a regime of oppression and exploitation were thrown.

Pecks camera cuts between the stunned anger on the faces of the Belgians listening to this speech and the elation of crowds of Africans gathered around radios cheering Lumumbas courage to honestly portray their existence.

Lumumbas forthright demands for economic independence, social justice and political self-determination, and his hostility to a political setup based upon tribal divisions, which the colonialists had effectively used to divide and rule Africa, sealed his fate. His threat to appeal for Soviet aid as a last resort in his effort to free the country of the continuing domination of the Belgian mining interests and Belgian troops, who continued to intervene in the aftermath of independence, gave Washington the pretext for allying with the old colonial power in seeking his elimination.

Where did AIDS come from????

I know what you are thinking.... Gay men, monkeys. What about our own R&D research labs funded by tax payers money?

Where did HIV originate? Prominent cancer virologists and government epidemiologists have theorized that HIV originated in African green monkeys. Purportedly the monkey virus "jumped species" and entered the black population. From there it migrated to Haiti and Manhattan. After the virus entered the black heterosexual population in the late 1970s, it rapidly spread to millions of blacks because of transfusions with HIV-infected blood, dirty needles, promiscuity and genital ulcers — or so the experts said.

Not all scientists believe the official monkey story, although it is rare to find people who express this view publicly. One persistent underground rumor is that AIDS is biological warfare. Proponents of the AIDS conspiracy theory believe that AIDS has nothing to do with green monkeys, homosexuality, drug addiction, genital ulcerations, anal sex or promiscuity, but that it has to do with scientists experimenting on blacks and gays: in short, AIDS is genocide. Most African-Americans have heard the story that HIV is a manufactured virus genetically-engineered to kill off the black race. Thirty percent of New York City blacks polled by The New York Times (October 29, 1990) actually believe AIDS is an ethno-specific bioweapon designed in a laboratory to infect black people.

Despite the general acceptance that HIV came from monkeys and the rain forest, there is no scientific evidence to prove that HIV and AIDS originated in Africa. What is true is that the first AIDS cases were uncovered in the U.S. in 1979, around the same time that AIDS cases were discovered in Africa. In addition, no stored African tissue from the 1970s tests positive for HIV. And scientists have a hard time explaining how a black heterosexual epidemic centered in Africa could have quickly transformed itself into a white homosexual epidemic in Manhattan.

Is your Mutual fund investing in Child Soldiers

The Save Darfur Coalition today launched the latest phase of its divestment advertising campaign with provocative national television and online advertisements targeting genocide-linked investments held by firms Franklin Templeton, JP Morgan, Vanguard, Fidelity Investments, and Capital Group. The coalition also unveiled new "station domination" divestment advertisements in San Francisco's Montgomery Street BART Station specifically targeting San Mateo-based mutual fund company Franklin Templeton. To view the television or online ad, click here: http://www.savedarfur.org/divestment/presskit .

"This phase of the Divest for Darfur campaign urges every American to ask their financial advisor and mutual fund company one simple question: ‘Am I invested in genocide?'" said coalition spokesman, Allyn Brooks-LaSure. "Because firms such as Franklin Templeton are so heavily invested in Chinese oil company PetroChina, the answer too often will be ‘yes.' American mutual fund companies must shed their ties to investments that extend the suffering and misery for millions of Darfuris, because American investors don't want to bankroll genocide."

Divestment activists said the five firms are the largest U.S. mutual fund company investors in Chinese oil company PetroChina. According to the targeted divestment model developed by the Sudan Divestment Task Force, PetroChina through its parent company CNPC, is the worst of the "highest offending" companies helping to fund the genocide in Darfur.

Tiomin wants Sh200 million suit cost from farmers

Tiomin wants Sh200 million suit cost from farmers

This is the lesson for eight Kwale farmers, who went to court last year challenging the Government's move to acquire their land for tiominium mining.

Tiomin Kenya Limited, a party to the suit, has requested the High Court to order the farmers to pay it Sh200 million approximately 1.8 million pounds sterling] as the cost of litigation.

The company wants the payment after the eight farmers lost in their bid last December to stop the Canadian firm from extracting the mineral.

In a suit before Mr Justice Joseph Nyamu yesterday, Tiomin Kenya Limited is demanding the amount on grounds that orders issued against it last November affected its operation. The orders for injunction were later quashed.

Last December, after a full hearing, Mr Justice Nyamu dismissed the suit filed by the farmers and ordered them to pay costs to Tiomin Kenya Limited and other respondents. On the cost of litigation, the Canadian firm argues that orders barring mining that were later lifted, resulted in losses.

At the time the injunction was issued, the firm had moved heavy machinery in Maumba and Nguluku in readiness for the first phase of mining.

Tiomin Kenya says the eight farmers, led by Mr Rodgers Muema Nzioka, had filed the suit with a view to killing the multi-billion-shilling project.

Entitled to pay

However, through lawyer Gibson Kamau Kuria, the farmers have raised a preliminary objection arguing that they were not entitled to pay Tiomin Kenya Limited any amount. They argued further that no certificate of cost had been issued so far by the court.

However, Tiomin Kenya's ability to get this amount appears remote, considering that the only asset the farmers had was their land, which is valued at Sh20 million.

Further, the farmers claim the cost demanded by Tiomin Kenya was likely to contravene their fundamental rights.

Mr Justice Nyamu adjourned that case to allow the parties to research on the issue. The case will be mentioned in 21 days time.

Last December, Justice Nyamu ruled that the Government was justified in forcibly taking over land to allow for titanium mining.
