Good News to Kenyans...

When this blog was started earlier on in the year, one of the first posts was about an arrogant cabinet minister from the coast and this is what the post said in part:

"Kenya's most hated minister the always under-performing Chirau Ali Mwakwere, the Matuga MP and Transport minister. This guy has become a complete joke and an embarrassment to the Govt and all decent Kenyans."

That's many days ago when Mwakwere was wasting millions of our taxes paid as his salary for doing zero work. The good news to the resilient people of this great country is that Mwakwere is out through a poll petition he lost yesterday, call it a blessing in disguise! It's goodbye and good riddance to a very arrogant and self-important nobody.

Kibaki should have seized the opportunity long before yesterday and sacked this disgraceful minister, but of course he did not. The good judge did. And rightly so! I rarely drink by Mwakwere's sweet humiliation calls for a pint of beer!

President Jacob Zuma: A laughing stock at home and abroad.

Wild Antics: SA president dancing to the tune "where is my machine gun!" at a recent political rally.

South Africa's colourful president and proud polygamist Jacob Zuma is never far from controversy, or is he? He is now claimed to have fathered a love child with a girl young enough to be his daughter! And newspapers across the world are jeering at the most powerful man in South Africa and ironically there's nothing he can do! "Jacob Zuma is father for 20th time, but not by one of his three wives!" Screamed the widely read Guardian of UK. Zuma apologized profusely 3 years ago for sleeping with an HIV woman without any protection thus undermining war on Aids.

But if true that he has fathered a love child, it clearly shows old habits die hard, sleeping again without any form of protection. It should be noted that both the young victims of Zuma's restless waist are daughters of his best friends! Talk about leaving the wolf to tend the sheep. This man can clearly pounce on women who are not his despite having 3 wives and he's rumored to be hunting a fourth and fifth for marital bliss. We can laugh and joke about this man who loves singing "bring my machine gun" in political rallies, but one thing is very certain. Zuma does make the legendary Nelson Mandela look very, very dull and painfully boring!

Africa has had it's share of colourful big men before, but the last time we had such a divisive and scandalous leaders was decades ago when the likes of Iddi Amin and Mobutu Seseko reigned supreme. South Africa is hosting the world cup this June. Will the media concentrate on the beautiful game or on the scandals, some on the way I believe, of Jacob Zuma? With a leader like this, South Africa is definitely living in the past.

Mariga: Great Footballer With Ludicrous Name!

Destined for greater height: "MacDonald" Mariga will join the mega bucks at the Man City football club.

As young Mariga joins the top flight of footballing world of the fast paced English premiership, I really wish him the most fantastic time and may he score lots of goals to justify the huge pay packet he will be receiving weekly from Manchester City. Kenyans who happen to be soccer mad will now thoroughly enjoy watching a home grown kid strutt his stuff on iconic venues like Old Trafford, White Hart Lane, Emirates Stadium et all. As an African kid who grew up in the slums kicking ball on dirt roads, he really has come far through hard work, stamina and some luck. He's definitely an inspiration to millions of poor kids out there for he has proved that the sky is the limit. Watch how our greedy politicians will want to associate with him so as to rub some glory with their endless photo ops. But having an Irish/Scottish surname as his first name is some sort of contradiction. I understand "Mac" means son of, just like "Fitz" or "Ole" among the Masai. Certainly, Mariga's dad is not called Donald! The dreaded English Soccer hooligans will definitely take the mickey out of the contradiction!

Nairobi's Notorious Crime Spot!

The Nyayo Stadium junction linking Bunyala Road, Aerodrome slip road and Uhuru Highway has become a death trap to motorists from mid-night to 5.30am, despite a police station being located inside, yep you heard me right, INSIDE the stadium!

The Bunyala Road/Uhuru Highway junction is fast becoming a gangsters' paradise never mind that the Nyayo Stadium police station is just 200 metres away. This is the roundabout just before you reach Nakumatt Mega from the city centre. Criminals are having a field day mugging and even killing innocent Kenyans from mid-night to as early as 5.30 am. These crooks seem to take cover in the nearby cemetery before unleashing terror on Innocent motorist.

The murderous crooks are known to hurl stones at an oncoming vehicle, smashing it's windscreen and many drivers end up crashing due to shock and confusion before being beaten senselessly and getting robbed. A young pilot is said to have been mugged and killed in less than 10 minutes when his vehicle broke down. When his colleagues who he had phoned arrived, they found the victim lying down severely wounded by the merciless thugs.

What is even more annoying and shocking is that there's a police station very near to this dangerous junction which is just a stone throw away. Why the police have not acted despite many complaints including one that was published in Daily Nation's Watchman column remains a mystery. The same police are always quick to erect roadblocks on the nearby Langa'ta Road almost daily without fail and menacingly demand bribes from motorists. The same police particularly enjoy harassing matatu drivers who always have ready cash with them and if they refuse to part with the cash, they risk having their driving licences or stereo's face confiscated!

Something needs to be done urgently to arrest this menace to society and restore confidence in the police force. The first thing to be done should be to transfer all the Nyayo Stadium cops far away from this area. After that the police must move in fast and flush the gang from their hideouts in the cemetery, railway tunnel and nearby golf course. This must be done urgently with great speed before another innocent motorist is killed by these callous animals. If the Kenya police didn't know that this was a dangerous killing field, now they do!

Obama: The Bling Bling President!

Some real funny but doctored pics of president Obama in Iced out gear just like the famous rapper called Birdman: I have decided not to post the others which are a bit nasty where one shows him purportedly having a lap dance with a hot bimbo.

Yet Another Convicted Mzungu Rapist Freed in Nairobi

Convicted paedophile Jon Wagner in his trademark stone face.

A very wealthy Mzungu who was convicted of drugging and brutally raping underage girls in his Lavington mansion has been freed pending his appeal. The judge Mohammed Warsame freed the American convict and owner of coffee chain Java on just Sh 1m bond which is peanuts to him. His famous and rich lawyer whined that the 15 years which Jon Wagner had been jailed were flawed and unjust although his co-accussed, 2 poor Kenyan women are rotting in jail doing a 10 year stretch each. This is a big letdown by our internationally famous corrupt justice system. I'm not stepping in any JAVA until justice is delivered for the sake of those three young girls who were sexually assaulted!

Kenya's Flying Matatus..

This is a military chopper that crashed in Narok last year.

Another day, another rusty bird comes tumbling from the skies still in Narok. It barely makes it in the news as this has become the norm in Kenya. Luckily, the passengers, a father and son, survived by hair's breadth. One crashed in Nyayo High Rise Estate- Nairobi, a few months ago. Another crashed in Narok last year while another one killed several MPs in Isiolo and still another killed ministers Kipkalya Kones and Lorna. How many more must needlessly die before this pathetic Govt swings into action and save us from the killer Mitumba planes? According to KBC website regarding yesterday's plane crash:

"Narok North Senior DO, Yussuf Huka said the plane registration 5YBOK SIHRUH, which was extensively damaged, belonged to Farm Land Aviation Company based in Nairobi.
Huka said the plane's two occupants were headed to Nkorinkori in Narok South District to spray wheat at their farm.
He said the two occupants, a father, Marco Bunn who was the pilot and his son Toby Bunn, sustained various chest injuries and were flown to Nairobi for treatment.
Investigators from the Civil Aviation Industry from Nairobi, rushed to the scene to ascertain the cause of the accident."
