As I pen this article, there are two groups of Kenyans having a long night. One group is celebrating the victory of Uhuru Kenyatta and the other is reeling from the realization of their new reality; political obscurity. There might also exist a third group of Kenyans that did not have the proverbial dog in the just concluded fight but are also reeling from the sight of a deeply divided nation.

Even before the dust settled, deafening calls for peace and return to normalcy were made by political operatives to an anxious nation and the people heeded their call and are now back to building the glorious republic under president Uhuru Kenyatta.

The implications of the Supreme Court's ruling are far-reaching and baffling to say the least. Mediocrity has been sanctioned, lack of transparency tolerated and the clock of reform rewound back to early nineties. The independent institutions envisioned by the new constitution will remain a brilliant idea on paper.
Does voting still have a meaning? That is the question that the millions that stood in line to exercise their constitutional rights are left with. Now, more than ever, it appears that voting is an exercise in futility; an attempt to change the supreme decision made by the neocolonial class in the comfort of their palatial homes.

These decision makers are the ruling families. The beneficiaries of the farce that was the independence of Kenya in 1963 and they are keen on maintaining their strangle hold on power for decades to come.

It is ironic that as the son of Jomo Kenyatta ascends to power, he is the poster boy of the injustices that gave that drove his father, the founding president of the Kenya, to the bushes in the struggle against the colonial powers.
The Mau Mau had lost land to corrupt chiefs and other "landed gentry" in Central Province, while others were victims of land appropriation carried out to enable European settlement.

The grievances cited by the Mau Mau are eerily identical to those of modern-day Kenyans and the colonial class has now been replaced by the domineering neocolonial class represented by the incoming president.

Yes, I am one of those Kenyans coming to terms with our new reality but empowered by the fact that the sun sets on the British empire, a notion that was at best naïve in 1895. We are headed back to the trenches and refuse to capitulate at the feet of the neocolonial class.

Mekatilili,

Kenyans need to dig in real hard because they are about to face some retrogressive forces who will want to dial back the gains made in the new Kenya...more so by the Constitution. Right now the dream of the county governments is being killed by the Uhuru Kenyatta government...which is more of a tribal outfit surrounding him. Sample this what happened yesterday during the Governors meeting where Kibaki tried to tell the Governors they misunderstood the whole thing abut County governments......Githae invited Wamwangi to invite Kibaki. After speaking, Kihara took to the podium, and handed over to Karega. Githu Muigai then took over, assisted by Muchemi. Kimemia closed the meeting. Surely we could do better than appoint people from one region to handle the Transitional Authority which seriously speaking is the Government running Kenya right now before Uhuru settles in. And do not be cheated, the same will be retained for as long as Uhuru is President (read 10yrs). This Kinuthia Wamwangi guy said this during an interview with the Star:

Devolution Will Need 10 Years - Wamwangi | The Star


Ruto will surely be thrown to the winds pretty soon because we know who we are dealing with and circumstances will dictate the break up of that union. This devolution thing will be a thorn in this Government because the RV folks will ask Ruto for their economic power (read land) and Uhuru will not give back any ground gained by his oligarchic family. Then we have the ICC stories and how the evidence was gathered. It will be a very uncomfortable union to know your immediate boss had a hand in your misery back then. I cant wait for that drama. When these chips start falling we need to rise from the trenches from when we came during the days of Moi.

Kenyans need to be very weary of these folks because it surely is a slippery slope we are walking.

God bless Kenya!
 
Unmasking Kenya's Repression Disguised As Protecting Stability


Monday, April 1, 2013 - 00:00 -- BY NDUNGU WAINAINA

This is a warning to Kenyans – don't be complicit in the establishment of a dictatorship-in-the-making disguised as democracy. A tyrant cannot be a tyrant without a victim. Bystanders are necessary for the tyranny to emerge because thirst for power invariably accompanies one for publicity.

Democracy is not about regular elections. Elections are necessary but not sufficient conditions for a true functioning of a robust democracy. What happens between elections and how the government of the day handles fundamental concerns of interest to the public matters greatly.

Dictatorship in a multiparty system is sensitive to social movements. As it desperately seeks to appear legitimate and democratic, it is more difficult for it to counter citizens' protests and demonstrations with violence. It invests heavily into propaganda aimed at legitimising the restrictions and censorship being deployed.

I have in the past warned about the appropriation of ‘democracy language" by despots in disguise. They use the word "democratic" as a gimmick to soothe and hoodwink people while applying restrictive conditions on the exercise and enjoyment of civil liberties including a demand for them to be accountability.

The current Kenya political system is such a system. Because of electoral deceit, elections have failed to enhance and confer political legitimacy leading to the country's seemingly insoluble political instability and insecurity. Restoring the integrity of the electoral process is therefore a critical first step.

Because of entrenched ethnicisation and political manipulation, the ugly face of repression is raising its head. The system and its hirelings are already working hard to prop up a repressive system.

Just like it happened at independence in 1963, the democratic ideals enshrined in the constituton are being betrayed by the conscienceless and unashamed clique of usurpers who are remnants of the former repressive regimes of Kenyatta and Moi.
To them, the constitution is just a piece of paper which they embrace when it suits them and discard when it does not.

People can no longer express themselves freely anymore. Doing so might see them accused of ‘endangering the peace and stability of the country'. The emerging political order is going to extraordinary lengths to suppress the truth. It is deeply troubling to see the return of the most offensive practices of the Kenyatta and Moi eras where the constitution is being torn and undermined by the very administration that has sworn to protect the same.

Four individuals have emerged as the faces of this new tyranny – Francis Kimemia, Michael Gichangi, David Kimaiyo and Mutea Iringo.

I have one message for them – you are living in the past. Your modern day repressive tactics will collapse.

The constitutional rights that Kenyans are enjoying are a product of their struggle. These rights are not privileges bestowed by the state but are inherent by virtue of birth. The Security Advisory Committee controlled by these four individuals are holding the country at ransom through instilling a culture of fear. Only a despotic regime without legitimacy deploys such tactics.

Their actions may be a pointer that the regime being fronted is in no mood to obey the constitution and the laws of the land. The Executive has no powers to unilaterally take away the rights and liberties of Kenyans. It must demonstrate to the satisfaction of all that national security is under severe threat and Parliament ascertains it in accordance with the constitution. Individual liberty is indivisible. A citizen should only be deprived of liberty only after a proper judicial process but not because of a political decision.

Kenyans should remember Edmund Burke's words, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". It is the high time we took this emerging tyranny head-on.

The new government of Kenya – regardless of who is President – must demonstrate its commitment to getting rid of the rampant impunity which continues to undermine the rule of law, justice and security of Kenyans.

The elected officials – both at the national and county levels – must live up to their oaths of office in which they promise to defend and protect the constitution. They must ensure they engender policies which will ensure that all will access services without discrimination. The new government must prevent human rights violation. Kenyans want a transformed country.

Unmasking Kenya
 
When Kibaki kept yelling at the Governors yesterday that Kenya is a Unity Government Nation or whatever he was saying, I knew repression had come back with a bang coz it was right there in his eyes. These people fear devolution but the truth of the matter is that you cant run away from your shadow!!!...The people voted for this and there is now way we will go back to the days of 1963 where Kenyatta and his GEMA ilk mutilated the Lancaster Constitution which had provision for a Federal form of Governement (read Majimbo). These Kimemia outfit is living in the dark ages and somebody needs to put them on notice.

We are in for a long ride!
 
The Most Useless Exercise in Kenya

By MICHELA WRONG

LONDON - Although predictions are risky, here's one I offer with absolute confidence: Traffic jams will return to Nairobi this week.

Gridlock all but evaporated during Kenya's drawn-out election crisis - the free-flowing highways one symptom of the general malaise. But the announcement on Saturday by the Supreme Court confirming Uhuru Kenyatta's election as president, and Raila Odinga's grim-faced but graceful acceptance of defeat mean that ever-entrepreneurial Kenyans can finally get back to making money.

The stock market will surge, shop shutters will be rolled up, pavements will bustle, and Waiyaki Way, Uhuru Highway and the Mombasa and Ngong roads will once more witness a series of hair-raising, fume-belching, eye-watering contests involving man and machine.

Yet it won't be business as usual. Something fundamental shifted with last month's elections in both the way Kenyans view themselves and the way the outside world will view them, whether they like it or not.

Courts are by nature conservative, so Saturday's announcement was only to be expected. But in confirming the election of a man indicted by the International Criminal Court for allegedly orchestrating the ethnic cleansing that followed Kenya's 2007 polls, Chief Justice Willy Mutunga did more than solve a national wrangle over a ballot count. He secured Kenya's place as a shining international symbol of impunity.

The I.C.C. case against Kenyatta now seems doomed. The chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, has revealed that unprecedented levels of witness intimidation and bribery are undermining the cases brought against Kenyatta and fellow indictees, who include vice president-elect William Ruto. These tactics will only escalate, and it's hard to see any Kenyan being brave - or foolhardy - enough now to take the witness stand against a head of state.

It will take a long time for any official to admit it, but the failure of the Kenyatta case may be the first chime of the death knell for the I.C.C., whose prosecutors already stood accused of anti-African bias and slapdash preparations long before the election in Kenya handed them a poisoned chalice.

The success with which Kenyatta and Ruto turned their I.C.C. indictments into electoral assets exposes how deep the scars of imperialism go. The anti-Western, anti-British vitriol that characterized exchanges in the press and on social media - most generated by Kenyans far too young to have experienced firsthand the Mau Mau rebellion of the 1950s - showed how grievances are efficiently relayed from one generation to another.

Jingoistic and cynical while campaigning, the Jubilee alliance of Kenyatta and Ruto is likely to be bullying while in power, with foreign diplomats whose respect it demands and constituents alike.

The immediate concern of ordinary Kenyans will be how the incoming government implements a new Constitution designed to devolve power and money to the counties. The document is seen as the key safeguard against a return to the "winner-takes-all" system of old. But historians warn that when Kenya tried devolved governance before, at independence in 1963, the experiment was swiftly sabotaged by Uhuru's father, Jomo Kenyatta.

Civil-society campaigners, who were briefly shocked into silence by this weekend's Supreme Court ruling, are bracing for a long campaign in the defense of the bill of rights. One issue they will have to tackle - in a country polarized as never before - is the political disengagement of people who queued for eight hours in the sun to vote, saw the tallying process grind to a halt, digested the damning details of the petitions citing election-law violations, only to be told this botched process was free and fair after all. Odinga has predicted a surge in voter apathy given that "what has happened here is a replica, a repeat of what happened five years ago."

A Facebook page created over the weekend captured that bitterness. Entitled "I will NEVER VOTE in a Kenyan election," it had attracted over 25,700 likes by midday Tuesday. "We are done with Independent Judiciary, Independent Electoral Commission, we are done," reads one post on the page. "Let all Kenyans be done with VOTING, the most useless exercise in Kenya."

Stop intimidating civil society- groups

By DAVE OPIYO dopiyo@ke.nationmedia.com
Posted Wednesday, April 3 2013 at 09:54

At least 34 civil society organisations working in Africa have called for an end to intimidation and hate campaigns against their Kenyan colleagues.

The lobby groups expressed concerns over the hate campaigns after civil society group, The African Centre for Open Governance (Africog), filed a petition challenging the legitimacy of the March 4 General Election.

In a statement, the groups said the negative acts, perpetuated in the social media, involved the use of human rights activists' passport photographs and their personal information.

Such information, said the lobby groups, was being used to threaten and incite hatred against the human rights defenders for challenging the conduct of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in the management of the hotly contested election.

"These messages of hate and incitement are worrisome because they single out individuals of civil society for either condemnation or reprisals," read the statement.

"We express our grave concerns over these hateful messages being spread in Kenya and at the global level. We call upon the individuals who remain unidentified as of yet to refrain from issuing such threats.

"We find the propagation of the said messages outrageous as the members of the civil society who filed the petition are exercising their constitutional given right to go to court."

They asked the government to investigate and prosecute such groups or individual as well as protect and guarantee, in all circumstances, their physical and psychological well-being.

Some of the civil society organisations that raised the concerns include the Children Education Society from Tanzania, Civil Resource Development and Documentation Centre from Nigeria, Lira NGO Forum, (Uganda), South Sudan Human Rights Society for Advocacy, as well as the Coalition for the ICC with offices in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Benin.

Others are the International Crime in Africa Programme (ICAP)/ Institute for Security Studies (ISS), L'Association pour Droits de l'Homme et l'Univers Carcéral (ADHUC), ONG de la République du Congo, ONG SOS EXCLUSION, (Côte d'Ivoire), Darfur Women Action Group (USA), Association femmes et Droits Humains, (Mali), SCARJoV, Association for Reintegration of Youth/Children in Social Life, (Angola) and others.

=======================================================================================

CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS WORKING IN AFRICA CALL TO
END INTIMIDATIONS AND HATE CAMPAIGNS AGAINST CIVIL
SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS IN KENYA
​

We, the under signed non-governmental organizations working to promote human rights and good governance in our respective countries and regionally in Africa, are gravely concerned about incidences of intimidations and hate campaigns directed at members of Kenya's civil society increasingly occurring after the filing of a Civil society representative Petition in the Supreme Court of Kenya on the 16th March 2013, challenging the process and legitimacy of the
March 4th 2013 General Elections.

It has come to our attention that social media hate campaigns, which include using human rights activists' passport photographs and their personal information, are being used to threaten and incite hatred against prominent Kenyan human rights defenders for challenging, the conduct of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in the management of the March 4th 2013 General Election in Kenya. These messages of hate and incitement are worrisome because they single out individual members of civil society for either condemnation or reprisals.

We express our grave concerns over these hateful messages being spread in Kenya and at the global level. We find the propagation of the said messages outrageous as the members of civil society who filed the petitions are exercising their constitutionally given right to go to court when they have concerns as provided for in the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya, 2010 and under other national, regional and international instruments protecting electoral rights to which Kenya is party.

We strongly condemn these hateful messages and call upon the groups and/or individuals in Kenya, including those who remain unidentified as of yet, and globally to refrain from issuing such threats and from propagating hatred towards members of the civil society in Kenya.

We further call upon the Kenyan government:

(i) To investigate and prosecute groups and/or individuals intimidating members of civil society in Kenya;

(ii) To protect and guarantee, in all circumstances, the physical and psychological well-being of members of civil society in Kenya in line with the provisions of the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 9, 1998, in particular its article 1, which states that "everyone has the right, individually or collectively, to promote the protection and fulfillment of human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national… level", article 5(b) which stipulates that, "everyone has the right to form, join and participate in non-governmental organizations, associations or groups", as well as article 12(2), which provides that "the State shall take all necessary measures to ensure the protection by the competent authorities of everyone, individually or in association with others, against any violence, threats, retaliation, de facto or de jure adverse discrimination, pressure or any other arbitrary action as a consequence of his or her legitimate exercise of the rights
referred to in the present Declaration";

(iii) To ensure in all circumstances, the respect for individual rights and fundamental freedoms in the Republic of Kenya in accordance with national, regional and international standards and human rights instruments ratified and domesticated by Kenya.

If we are expecting the ICC to get the cat out of the bag as to what actually transpired in 07, you are in for a huge disappointment not forgetting it is the miscalulated steps of the ICC that handed uhuruto power. maybe if the ICC stayed out without trying to influence the outcome of the process of election, raila could have been the fourth president of the republic of kenyans.

your groanings are misplaced, and what appears evident from that post is an inappropriate reincarnation of tribal witch-hunting using appropriate mechanisms; such are the silent harmless calls by pple being lablled as 'coackroaches' and that began in rwanda a genocide proceeding.

Chief Justice Willy Mutunga taken few days before the March 4, 2013 by the Kenya media when he addressed the press regarding threats to the Kenya Judiciary.

While making the decision that the presidential elections were free, fair, transparent and credible and that Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto were validly elected, the Judges of the Supreme court forgot the REPORT on the re-tallying of votes that the same court ordered and the exercise conducted by the officials of the same Supreme court.

What a contradiction and confirmation that the verdict was as a result of pressure and bribery of the Judges as speculated. This is the OFFICIAL REPORT regarding the scrutiny or re-tallying of the votes by the Supreme court itself that came out just a day before the Judges turned around and disowned their own findings that there were numerous discrepacies in the conduct of the presidential elections: http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/images/friday/132959279-Scrutiny-Report-for-33-400-Polling-Stations.pdf

Democracy on trial

What Mutinga read was written by other forces and he was forced to read it, the speculation goes. How can such an important matter take the Chief Justice only five minutes to deliver the decision?

It is rumoured that the official decision that the six Judges of the the Supreme court abandoned due extreme duress and bribery by the lords of impunity and those we are determined to maintain the staus quo had four (4) Judges in support of the Petition and two (2) Judges against.

Given that Chief Justice Dr. Willy Mutunga is in record to have complained publically that he had received a death threat pen and that he was blocked at the airport from leaving the country on a trip to Tanzania just a few days to the election, there is speculations, and rightfully so that the Judges were forced to make the decision that they read.

The threat made to the Supreme court Judges was widely reported as confirmed by several sources. Aljazeera news reported "Kenya's judiciary 'threatened ahead of vote" Aljazeera further stated that according to the Kenya Chief Justice, several judges received threats warning them against disqualifying two presidential candidates.

What Kenyans did not know?

What Kenyans did not know is that both Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta were projects of the former dictator Daniel arap Moi. To ensure that KANU rules for over 100 years as Joseph Kamotho, the former KANU Secretary-General declared, the ruling elites during Moi presidency dispatched Kibaki to the opposition to disorganize it.

That is how Kenneth Matiba, who both Moi and Kibaki feared was stopped from becoming the president by dividing the Kikuyu votes in 1992. When Kibaki won the 2002 presidential elections, Uhuru conceded defeat easily because Kibaki belongs to the same camp of the ruling elites and therefore was going to continue with the same policies of the past.

Indeed, for the past 10 years of Kibaki presidency he brought back the policies of Jomo Kenyatta's presidency, which he blended with those policies of Moi's presidency. With Kibaki's second term settled after rigging the December 2007 presidential elections , the KANU machine settled for Uhuru Kenyatta to succeed Kibaki.

Uhuru Kenyatta represents the interests of the following familes: Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, Mwai Kibaki, Simeon Nyachae, Moses Budamba Mudavadi and a few others.

Kenya "iko na wenyewe" (Kenya has its owners and Raila Odinga is not one of the shareholders of corporate entity called Kenya). The KANU Club has regrouped under project Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. The plan to rig the Kenya Presidential Elections 2013 was put in place well in advance.

Immediately after Kibaki was rigged back to power after the December 2007 Presidential Elections and the formation of the forced marriage known commonly as the Coalition Government, Kibaki and those surrounding and supporting him, which include the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service (aka the National Security Intelligence Service) went to the drawing board to work on a plan that would ensure that Uhuru Kenyatta would take over the presidency when Kibaki retires.

When Uhuru Kenyatta, as the opposition leader, declined to contest the presidency in December 2007 and instead gave his support to Kibaki, that was the time an arrangement was reached that Uhuru will succeed Kibaki. Uhuru Kenyatta had assumed power long before the presidential elections were conducted Therefore, the grooming of Uhuru Kenyatta started in earnest with appointments to very strategic positions in the Coalition government as the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister.

Those who think that Uhuru Kenyatta started receiving intelligence briefing after being rigged and declared the president-elect are in darkness. The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service has been working very closely with Uhuru Kenyatta on the succession politics since the inception of the Coalition government. Most of senior appointments in the government including Ministers on the side of PNU were done with Uhuru Kenyatta's blessings.

Kenyans still remember how Uhuru Kenyatta banged the table accusing Raila Odinga of frustrating the smooth operations of the government when Kibaki announced unilaterally, not appointed because the appointment was done by Uhuru Kenyatta, the appointment of Chief Justice, Attorney-General and Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP), which Raila Odinga opposed since he was not consulted as required by the National Accord that ushered in the Coalition government.

The following is the geneology and a well coordinated plan that was put in place over the past 5 years by the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service to ensure that Uhuru Kenyatta succeeds Mwai Kibaki: Raila Odinga who is the most credible challenger and opponent to Uhuru's presidency had to be stopped. To stop Raila from reclaiming his stolen presidential victory in December 2007, the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service hatched a plot to destroy Raila's political machine and vehicle; the ODM Political party. How? By ensuring that ODM is reduced to a one man show; Raila's party and that of his Luo people. ODM had to be destroyed by all means possible so that the national outlook it enjoyed during the December 2007 general elections is dealt a big blow. How was this to be acheived? The former ODM Pentagon members had to be induced to desert Raila Odinga.

Therefore, a strategy of both carrot and stick was employed by the the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service to ensure that William Ruto, Najib Balala, Charity Ngilu, Joseph Nyaga and Musalia Mudavadi all left ODM as a sinking boat. The first to be approached was William Ruto who was considered very vulnerable due to the ongoing court cases both in Kenya and at the ICC in the Hague. The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service informed Ruto that he could choose a bright future with Uhuru Kenyatta or a doomed one with Raila Odinga. Ruto was informed that Raila Odinga will never be allowed to be president of Kenya and was reminded that if Raila Odinga's presidency was stolen in broad day light in December 2007, the same will be repeated in future elections.

Consequently, Ruto was reminded of his involvement in the post election violence of 2007/2008 and was warned that it was the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service that provided evidence to the ICC and as such the case against him is water-tight. It was at this point that Ruto was dangled a carrot to choose between supporting Uhuru Kenyatta or continue following Raila Odinga to the dungeons since it is only the Kenya Government under Uhuru Kenyatta who will save Ruto from being jailed for over 50 years by the ICC.

Ruto succumbed and was immediately enlisted and tasked to assist the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service in destroying Raila politically. It was agreed that the other former members of the ODM Pentagon would not leave the party at the same time with Ruto for two reasons; one, to help with information gathering; and two, to confuse Raila that he still had their support only for them to leave at the last minute when elections are around the corner thereby making Raila extremely vulnerable.

Otherwise, all of them were induced with money and alot of it infact, and were all privy to the rigging of presidential elections 2013 since Raila will never be allowed to be president of Kenya so it would useless backing a donkey who is going no where. Involvement of the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service in rigging of Uhuru Kenyatta to the presidency Confirmation of the involvement of the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service in rigging of Uhuru Kenyatta to the presidency is all over the place for Kenyans and the world to see.

The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service beefed up security at the Bomas of Kenya a few moments before the Election & Boundary Commission declared Uhuru Kenyatta president -elect in the same manner heavily police officer stopped the KICC in December 2007 and forced the late Samuel Kivuiti to declare Kibaki as the "duly" elected president of the republic of Kenya.

By visiting Uhuru Kenyatta after a few days of being declared president-elect at his private residence and publicly saluting him infront of TV cameras, the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service sent a strong message to Kenyans and the world that it has recognized Uhuru Kenyatta as the in-coming Commander-in-chief. The reigns of power shifted on that day from Kibaki to Uhuru Kenyatta. The story and photo by the press showing the Chief of Defence Forces General Julius Karangi saluting Uhuru Kenyatta at his private residence in the company of the Head of the Public Service Mr. Francis Kimemia has been removed.

However, there was another meeting that Uhuru Kenyatta had with the Security Chiefs in the presence of William Ruto. Here is the link regarding this meeting: http://www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/Uhuru-meets-security-chiefs/-/1064/1717688/-/118ju9w/-/index.html

With the decision of the Supreme court by the six (6) judges on Saturday, March 30, 2013, Kenya is quickly returning back into a police state as was the case during Moi dictatorship. Police are now arresting supporters of CORD indiscriminately all over the country.

These are intimidation tactics to make Kenyans accept the Uhuru Kenyatta presidency; Kenyans must not relent; the darkest hour is the hour before dawn; change is coming to Kenya. Those who resist change by peaceful means are encouraging change through violent means.
