Glad to be back....

I have been away for too long. Away from blogging and away from caring about my beloved country. Yes, six long years I gave up on blogging and caring about Kenya. During that time, I got truly blessed and got married to the most beautiful lady in the word (Coz I say so myself!) We got blessed with the most beautiful girl in the word..yep! And then I started caring once again. Caring about the good old KE. Over the last few weeks, I could not fool myself any longer. I had some sleepless nights thinking about my young family and my one and only country. Some few days back I went to my daughter's bed and peeped at this princess as she lay there innocently sleeping in her bed. And as many headlines about corruption went racing through my mind I was like, "What future for this girl?" That's because our generation's future seems to have been screwed, squandered and raped by those entrusted to manage this great country. And on that note, I decide I will start caring and fighting for Kenya once again. I owe it to my daughter and millions of other young Kenyans. I will do it online and in any other ways I can. If everyone does their part, we can build heavy pressure and hopefully bring some change that we so desperately need. Nothing comes on a silver platter. Life ain't easy, we have to keep fighting. Maybe I had not given up after all. Perhaps it was a well deserved break. I'm glad many decent Kenyans kept the fire burning. I'm glad to be joining them. Please keep an eye on this blog for many more updates and let us interact the best way we can. Funny that after such a long hiatus, I never forgot my log in details for this blog! Ahsanteni!

My Person of the Year in 2010.

My person of the year is none other than Martha Wangari wa Karua. Bold. Decisive. Intelligent. Patriotic. We ought to think deeply about a woman prezzo calling the shots from the big house on the hill. Who has bigger 'balls' than Martha. Of course she's not perfect, she's not a saint, but she has proved many times she has guts and stamina. Male politicians and presidents in Kenya have brought nothing but tears, mass murder, corruption and tribalism. I urge all Kenyan women who are indeed the majority to back one of their own. They should stop the jealousy and envy amongst themselves and back Ms Karua. I believe she would make an excellent CEO of this once great nation. Keep up the momentum Madam Iron Lady!

Leave Sonko Alone And Go For the Well Known Big Criminals.

Of course the police want to be 'seen to be doing something' in regard to recent waves of corruption and soar away crime in good old Kenya. So they go for Sonko, the newly elected Makadara MP. This is after they had given him a certificate of good conduct to vie for the said seat! The police even comically took him to court today, late in the evening knowing very well that the court was closed for the day and the good judge possibly sipping cold tusker somewhere away from the madness of criminals.

Why can't the bungling and inept police, voted continuously for over 5 years as the most corrupt institution, go for the real big fish? If indeed they wanted, they would be spoilt for choice. From Goldenberg scumbags, Triton thieves, Anglo Leasing bandits and Grand Regency looters? Hell, they could even opt to look into Passat deal, De la Rue, Free primary education, IDP funds, Maize scam etc. These are the biggest thieves, liars, crooks and cheats ruining our economy and lives of innocent Kenyans who continue dying due to lack of medicare, bad roads, lack of relief food and books for kids in schools. What about the land grabbers and cocaine smugglers lurking inside the Govt that were recently named by the American ambassador?

I'm not saying that Sonko is innocent or guilty, that's not for me to judge. Most people view him as a modern day Robin Hood who just wants to help the poor by any means necessary. What I'm saying is this, there are many past files on big thieves waiting to be acted upon. Why be so so choosy when meting out justice? Pounce on them and lock the biggest criminals first and fast. They are the biggest threat we have as a nation! Sonko will then come in later....

What a Senseless Waste of Young Lives!

You should be able to enjoy driving your car without much worry on any given day here in Nairobi and indeed throughout the country, right? Wrong! We have hundreds of unqualified and drunk drivers on our roads at any given time ready to smash right into your vehicle. In fact, drunks can be seen driving even at noon without a care in the world. One only needs to drive at night from around 11pm along Lang'ata road and Waiyaki Way and see the unbelievable carnage caused by reckless young people in their souped up Subaru Imprezza's and Forresters!

These young men and women are mostly drunk and hit the road like Kamikaze pilots ready for a suicide mission. As it's always too common, they are always dead on time. And what for at such tender age of 25? Even if you are one careful driver who happens to obey all the known traffic rules, be careful since a mad man may plough right into you any time here in Nairobi!

Another menace comes from Matatu madness who flout even the simplest of known road courtesy. The brains of matatu drivers are usually fuming and filled with stress to the brim. The hot head that is matatu driver is constantly thinking about saving the next minute or two and making an extra shilling here and there before he ends the shift. As it's always too common, he ends up banging right into an innocent driver or mowing a innocent pedestrian. This ultimately ends up draining all that he has worked for so hard for the last one year or so.

And where are the notoriously lazy and inefficient traffic cops as all the madness is going on? Of course, they are busy out there milking our pockets dry in tiniest of bribes. One should basically be able to enjoy his ride without much worry. But in Kenya, a vehicles is best described as a gift that became a curse. You are on your own when it comes to driving on Kenyan roads.

"Sonko Is An Animal in Bed"- Claims His Ex

- Urban Legend Sonko is not only good in drawing bad cheques, jumping bail or escaping from jail but has other hidden talent he refuses to share with his fans: he's the greatest lover of all! This not so shocking revelation is from a lady who works in the media and who claims to be his ex is bound to excite even more idle minds that never tire of talking about the flashy new kid in town who is famed for his deep pockets and love of flashy ice.

The said ex, name withheld for obvious reasons is yapping all over to anyone who cares to listen that when she was 'pushing' with man Sonko several years ago, he was "an animal" when it comes exercising his waist in the bedroom department. The lady, with her eyes beaming told us how Sonko would bump and grind like a love struck teenager till the wee hours of the morning just before the birds could start humming. "He's the greatest lover of them all!" She whined in our office as scores gathered to listen to her not knowing whether to believe, laugh, cry or roll down and die.

So there you go for more juicy gossip about man like Sonko which is not too harsh unlike the ones about Kamiti and bad cheques. And with that bit of harmless gossip, Sonko is bound to get himself more fans in the name of bored housewives whose obsession is watching cheap day time soap operas from Mexico and lots of predictable Nigerian "movies" if we can call them that. I hope next time Sonko rides for his campaigns the bored housewives won't hurl their panties as missiles to the greatest lover of them all!

Mike Sonko's Win Equals Karua's Own Goal?

1. Have you guys noticed Iron Lady Martha Karua is laying low after her party's big win instead of being out there celebrating?

2. Do you know with Sonko's victory (a very dodgy character indeed to some) Martha Karua may have scored an own goal?

3. Do you know PNU was shell shocked after the defeat since they were so confident of winning to an extent that PNU's chairman George Kinuthia Muthengi wa Saitoti didn't even bother to campaign for his buddies?

4. Did you know after Saitoti learnt of the defeat, his skin crawled in anger and his hair stood straight. A very close insider told me an angry Saitoti banged the table with his fist and screamed, "I want a file of that Makanga Sonko opened immediately!" Saitoti wants the KRA, KACC, CID et all trawling Sonko's life history, his wealth, girlfriends, wives, vehicles, telephone numbers which are already bugged, his bank accounts etc.

5. Do you know Sonko's win will be used to tarnish Iron Lady in the coming weeks? Already NSIS under the command of Major General Gichangi is working very hard on it to an extent of posting in various blogs including here allegations that Sonko is a drugs baron who is financing Narc-Kenya?

Watch this space. Someone has rattled the snake which will soon bite back. PNU thugs will not take the defeat lying down. Some PNU big shots who are so powerful to an extent they decide who breathes and who goes six feet under are busy doing what they do best- SCHEMING!!!!!!!

Sonko who is so politically naive should stop yapping around that he has 200 bank accounts and a ship. This man is over excited and his handlers are clearly letting him down. He should lay low, probably take a well deserved holiday until things cool down. Politics, he will learn very fast can be very dirty. He's dancing himself lame even before the music has begun!

By Election Analysis

I'm happy coz thuggish Ndolo is now history. Trust me you will never ever hear that horrible name as far as politics of Nairobi is concerned. He spent/burnt millions but sober folks like me knew his fate had already been sealed.

He will forever be remembered for his "weka tyre" speech urging his supporters to set ablaze Kikuyu opponents. He's still under investigations by KACC for misuse of CDF cash back in the day when he was MP. It's good riddance to bad rubbish!

I said here 2 months ago Sonko Mbuvi was the man to watch in Makadara. The guy has done lots of good job in the slums like paying for driving licenses for all the makangas on that route, starting car wash biz for the youth, employing lots of youth in his matatus, bars and construction biz etc. When the young folks looked at him they saw one of their own, even in dressing sense. I still don't know his real name, is it George/Gideon/Michael?

As for George Thuo the elitist snob is concerned, now we know now he indeed stole the elections in 2007. You will always find Kabogo eating mandazi or drinking beer in one of those dingy and sweaty places in Thika or Nairobi together with the common folks.

But not the elitist Thuo whose buddies are rich and famous land barons like Uhuru. Thuo can now go back and concentrate in managing his run down Citi Hoppas which are famed for ripping off customers especialy travelling short distances. He has been left with a huge bill but lucky guy it won't dent his big bank balance. You can check in my blog an article I did long ago called "hopeless city hoppas!"

Maina Kamanda the former hawker and councillor was arrogant to say the least to a point of not appearing in any talk show on TV. Even PNU mandarins foolishly thought the trophy was in the bag that they avoided campaigning for him. This arrogance floored him and you will never hear him again in politics after being rejected twice. He has a huge tab to pick for the petition and by election campaign.

As for madam Bishop, well she had to sweat it out on her own after being kind of isolated by her own party who thought Kamanda would win. Wanjiru fought tough campaigns and could be seen criss crossing from one TV studio to the next never mind she had campaigned against the new constitution. People looked at her and voted for her as a person and her party never played any significance. This woman, like her or hate her fought a good fight and deserved the win! She's emerged as a tough nut to crack and hopefully she will go for the Guvnor of Nai. Who know?

Kabogo was a bitter man from the start coz he always believed he had won in 2007 and rightly so and thus proved his point with a well deserved landslide. I have met Kabogo twice in recent months and believe me his sight is set on higher things like being Guvnor of Kiambu county. This man has magnetic appeal and is very likeable.

He has the deep pockets to go for the county Guvnor and huge popularity. Those who know his humble abode in Nyali Mombasa which is the size of state house know what I mean when I say he's the real sonko- a man of means. Only the son of Jomo can match that as far as Kiambu is concerned but Jomo Jnr has his eyes trained on bigger offices of the land if the Hague doesn't do him.

Questions will also be raised after Jomo jnr lost in Juja his own turf since it's part of Kiambu where Iron Lady Karua triumphed, mind you she's from far away Kirinyaga. It was a big triumph for the Iron Lady as far as influence in Central politics is concerned.

My 2 cents worth.

These Bloody Politicians Can't Even Manage a Village Cattle Dip!

First they shamelessly invited a wanted mass murderer on the most important day since 1963 when we celebrated our Independence. Can someone please explain to me what we gained as a nation by inviting Al-Bashir and humiliating the Southern Sudanese? Instead of the world joining us in that fete and talking about our new born country, two weeks later, everyone is still talking about how the day was hijacked, airport shut and how Al-Bashir gatecrashed our party.

Then the sham census results that cost the tax payer over 12 billion shillings were announced after months and months of doctoring the figures and dithering. They came as fraudulent as expected. Nothing is adding up, whether you text for the figures using the special number given or checked the 'official' figures that were released by minister Oparanya. So much wasted time and money in the shambolic exercise. We never seem to get anything right in Africa. And yet, the minister in charge of the whole bogus exercise is still in office collecting a whooping 1 million plus- per month in salary and allowances. What a joke this nation is!

Wanted Mass Murderer Bashir Buys a VIP Seat In Nairobi For Millions of Dollars

Wanted Genocideer walked in town untouched. What a shame on Kenya's most important day since independence! May those who invited this mass murderer be haunted by their insensitive, evil, callous and barbaric actions for the rest of their damned lives. Sudanese dictator ought to be rotting in hell, not strutting his stuff in our beautiful country. I hear he bought his invitation card to Nairobi for some millions of dollars....

Raila Back In Hospital in Italy?

18 Aug 2010 06:51:19 GMT 18 Aug 2010 06:51:19 GMT Source: Reuters
NAIROBI, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga headed for a break in Italy as he recovers from an operation last month to relieve pressure on his brain, his office said late on Tuesday.
The usually indefatigable Odinga, who was advised by doctors to slow his pace of work as he convalesces, is expected to return to east Africa's largest economy before the Aug. 27 promulgation of a new constitution.
"The prime minister leaves the country later tonight for a brief holiday outside the country for a few days rest. The PM will be in Italy for about a week," Dennis Onyango, the prime minister's spokesman, said in an emailed statement.
Odinga's illness forced him to break off campaigning for the new charter, which Kenyans endorsed in a peaceful referendum on Aug. 4. On Monday, Odinga hosted a lavish cocktail party at his home to celebrate the "yes" vote.
The revised basic law is aimed at ending the ethnic rivalries that have plagued Kenyan politics since independence from Britain in 1963. Political analysts say the referendum win boosted 65-year-old Odinga's prospects in 2012 presidential elections.

Sorry Guys But Truth Be Told..I'm Beginning to Like Man Tinga...

Over the last two years, I have been a very harsh critic of Rt Hon Prime Minister Raila Odinga AKA "Fabregas, Tinga, Captain, Agwambo, Arap Mibei, Jamba etc". But I'm now seriously considering endorsing him for the highest office in Kenya come 2012. I'm beginning to like lots of actions he's taking and words he's talking because he's striking all the right tones. I know he can do better and that's why I'm holding my endorsement for a few more weeks. But compared to other presidential contenders/pretenders/wannabees, Raila seems to be way ahead of the pack. This is because the said pretenders are bogged down in legal cases that involve fraud, election violence and land grabbing. Others like Ruto are busy living a big fat lie while they build castles in the air as far as patriotism is concerned. True, Raila is not a saint and no one is perfect. But most of us can relate to his vision, hope and aspirations for mother Kenya. I think Raila would make a great President assisted by Martha Karua or what do you think? Of course a week in politics is like eternity and lots of stuff can happen in between. We still have about 2 years to go to the ballot and the vote will separate the wheat from the chuff. Yet so far although I hate his party, I like the leader!

Shut The Hell Up Bwana PLO and Please Get Busy Working!

Above: KACC boss Dr. PLO Lumumba in one of his many press conferences

The new boss of KACC- Kenya Anti Corruption Commission is a very intelligent and eloquent man. That, there's no doubt. But I'm sick and tired of seeing him just talking and talking to a point of becoming what is known as a talking head. Doesn't he ever get tired of exercising his jaws and throat? I mean, honestly, this university don never shuts up yet he has a mountain of corruption related files lying on his desk at Integrity Centre which is located off Valley Road in Nairobi. Justice Aaron Ringera must have left quite a fine mess there before he was kicked out in disgrace.

This begs the question, when does PLO ever get busy working yet he's hopping from one TV and radio station to the next from one newspaper to the next or being interviewed from his posh office by anyone who labels himself a journalist. Kenyans don't care about the Shakespeare English or the flawless Zanzibari Swahili that PLO keeps mouthing. What Kenyans care about is the arrest of rampant corruption in Government and private sector, their conviction and incarceration at Kamiti prison.

Since independence, no big fish has been convicted of any corruption related case in Kenya. That's why impunity thrives since the sacred cows know they are just untouchable. PLO will eventually be judged, not on how many vocabularies he utters in his daily briefings, but the success of stemming the huge tide of shady and corrupt activities in Kenya. In simple and plain English: Talk less Bwana PLO and work more. Is that too much to ask?

It's The Media That Won It.

Well done to our media for the vigorous and positive campaign of backing the proposed draft constitution. The result is a thundering YES victory from the majority of Kenyans who voted overwhelmingly YES. As this famous front page from Britain's biggest selling tabloid shows in 1992, The Sun helped the Tories to win. Well, I think in our case it's the Media wot won it for all of us! Congrats!

YOUR DATE WITH DESTINY...PLEASE DO VOTE...

On 5th of August... After Katiba Yes Win....

Old dictator and master trickster who is bank rolling the NO camp laughs at foolish Kenyans. But for how long will Moi keep laughing after the 5th of August when new laws catches up with this old despot?

Crocodile tears and drama apart, William Samoei Arap Ruto will lock himself up inside the toilet and cry for real once he realises his life has been one big fat lie and the bitter truth starts catching up with this master of deception and fraud.

Is Al-Shabaab Targetting Kenya?

I shudder to pause and think what our police are doing to keep us safe from Al-Shabaab militia who have just bombed and killed innocent soccer fans in Uganda. 64 totally innocent Ugandans are reported dead and that figure is just a conservative estimate. Intelligence offices of our police are filled to the brim with hundreds of files of unsolved crimes like the killings of TJ Mboya, JM Kariuki, Oscar Foundation officials and more recently the twin bombing at Uhuru Park where NO crusaders were targeted.

Kenya/Somali borders is long and porous. Terrorists can sneak in and leave at will and they do as in the case several bombings in Kenya over the last 12 years. Kikambala Paradise Hotel bombing is still fresh in our minds. Those who are foolish enough to get caught can obviously pay their way out of trouble. Those illegally living here have bribed their way to our pathetic, corrupt and shambolic immigration department for ID cards as long as they can grease the palms of the staff.

More criminals from Somalia are using their piracy money to invest here, no questions asked since we seem to be too busy entrenched in our ethnic hate! The fact is that we have so many illegal aliens and no one seems to have the slightest clue who they are and their actual figures. I have no problem with legal asylum seekers who have fled terror and anarchy. We have a moral obligation to assist them especially women and children. They are legal since they have followed the right screening procedures.

It would not be too far fetched to imagine some sleeper cells that exist in Kenya as terrorists wait to strike our land.Can we surely rely on our police force which is historically lazy and corrupt with nothing much to show for? Absolutely never, especially not one when they are reported to be on a go slow strike. What about our lawmakers? They are just too busy lining their pockets from our taxes while they demand more pay without any shame or remorse.

I really don't think Somalis are doing enough to fix their country which has been in turmoil for the last 15 years. Their MPs can be seen in Nairobi driving top of the range SUVs or lazing around in big hotels. It's time they were prodded to return back and fix their nation. A stable and prosperous Somalia will definitely result in a more stable East Africa. We wish them well!

In the meanwhile as far as our security as a nation is concerned, it's everybody for himself and God for us all. You are on your own buddy!

Kenya Police On Strike? Give Me a F#$%&ng Break!

Welcome to the Wild Wild West..........

I just saw in the papers that our good for nothing and highly corrupt cops are on some form of strike because the pay increase they got from our equally corrupt Govt was not good enough to pamper their bloated ego! Well, thanks to the media because one can't tell the difference when cops are on or off duty. Actually to be honest, the streets look somehow safer with trigger happy cops staying away! And I have not heard of any stray bullet killing an innocent by-stander! Hopefully, the cops will come back after they get some little manners and respect for those they are supposed to serve! Bure Kabisa!!!!

Kibaki is obviously in NO camp!

There are widespread rumours that Kibaki is singing YES during the day then leading the "NO" team at night.

Here are some intriguing facts:

1. Kibaki has never been a reformer for the 50 years he has been in politics!
2. All Central province MPs are also singing YES during the day but holding secret NO meetings at night.
3. Kibaki is a staunch Catholic and we know the Catholics are singing a loud NO to the new constitution.
4. How comes no one has been arrested two months after the words "National Security" were criminally sneaked in the draft yet AG Amos Wako blamed the NSIS? (National Security Intelligence Service)
5. The secretive NSIS which is headed by Major Gichangi who is also from Othaya takes it's orders from only one person, the president of the Republic of Kenya!
6. How comes after a whole 48 hours since the Uhuru Park bombing, no one has been arrested or interrogated?
7.How comes Ruto who is in NO was not arrested and taken to court yet he's on record as saying there will be a big war between Christians and Muslims if the draft constitution is passed?
8. How comes Kibaki's biggest friends and advisers like Michuki, Karume, Joe Wanjui etc have not been heard during this debate and they appear to have gone into hiding?
9. If YES wins, Raila's political fortunes will dramatically rise and may catapult him into state house. Do you think Kibaki can be happy with a Raila's presidency?
10. How comes the vocal Jimmy Kibaki, Judy Kibaki and Lucy Kibaki are also very silent?

UoN Coackroaches Sent Packing

Rioting thugs from Nairobi Uni who were stoning, burning and looting for the last 3 days have now been kicked out. I saw from a distance as some of these sick goons terrified and robbed a helpless woman near the university way roundabout two days ago. The whole area that occupies the UoN, from Mamlaka Road to KBC area appear cool and calm thanks to the swift action taken by their VC prof Magogha. Gone are the days when SONU elections used to be peaceful and produce credible leaders like Kabando wa Kabando, Danson Mungatana, Wafula Buke, James Orengo among others. These days, SONU leaders are elected purely on tribal lines and then swiftly ally themselves with leaders from their respective tribal backgrounds purely for financial motives. I support the closure of this once famous and revered learning institution until common sense prevails in the student's small brains. And did I say Koinange Street will also be calmer especially at night?
