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.
