You can dis him for all he did but not his health.Thats my point.But you keep it moving in circles.
Respect is a two way street sir! If the man cant respect himself and the people, how do you expect us to do likewise? I see a situation where you are trying to shift blame elsewhere. If he is sick then why cling to power? Why steal the '07 election from Raila?...or you are going to postulate that it's his handlers that were pushing him?
This relic needs to be confined to the annals of history. Period!
STOP PRESS!
This is the snake oil that your kind try to sale to people here and we are not buying. The tribalism of the Kikuyu nation has nothing to do with Raila please. Give us a break!
All these tribalistic appointments that are being done by the Jubilee regime is their own undoing. Its done right in our faces with the 'mta-do nini' attitude. When people point out this foolishness we are told Raila is inciting people against the Kikuyus. That's a moronic kinda reasoning and points to denial. The Jubilee Govt is going about doing business the wrong way and it has nothing to do with Raila. Kikuyu's and their archaic leaders are there worst own enemies. They don't even need Raila to pin them. They are cooking in their own oil!
Meanwhile thank you for pointing out that Raila was rigged out in '07. Kudos.
Now accept the fact that Uhuruto did not win by 51% in the 1st round like the IEBC want us to believe. Those numbers were cooked and the IEBC chairman said it himself when he refused to take the oath while presenting the voting figures to the Parliamentary committee...remember he said he cannot lie during the Holy month of Ramadhan!...I love this!
These are the problems facing Kenya while Jubilee is obsessed with silencing Raila;
1. Civil servants have not been paid their July Salaries.
2. The army has been shortchanged on their pay by 10,000/-
3. University lecturers are threatening to strike next week.
4. Teachers are threatening to strike again if they don't get their July pay.
5. Doctors and nurses are also threatening to strike.
....amidst all this we are supposed to believe Raila is somehow inciting Kenyans to revolt!
oh by the way, they are trying to build Kibaki a statue worth millions and Ruto's trip is still questionable with crucial information missing in the accounting dept...amidst all this!
This is truly a digital govt...bwahahahaha!!!
Wakuu,
katika pita pita zangu nimekutana na hii habari ikaona niitundike humu jamvini. Mwenyezi Mungu tuepeshe na sampulli hii katika bara la Africa. This makes me sick to the stomach seeing what he has tried to do in the past few years as he headed to retirement. Jamaa ashakua mlafi wa kujilimbikiza mali kwa namna yoyote ile.
Huyu mtu kwa taarifa yenu ni tajiri tangia siku za Kenyatta!!!!...huko ni kitambo sana aisee. Na sasa bado tu anazidi kuwanyonya wakenya kama kupe juu ya mfugo!
What in God's name is wrong with this guy surely?....The fact that he has a Ksh 500 million retirement home...afu
juzi juzi alitaka ajengewe ofisi ya Ksh 700 million... https://www.jamiiforums.com/kenyan-...other-700-million-from-overtaxed-kenyans.html
....sasa leo hii anamaliza mchezo maana anataka sanamu ya shaba!....
Dah!!....huyu sasa na Mugabe na yule Abdoulaye Wade wa Senegal wako gora moja tu. Wote akili mgando!

In Summary
- Minutes of the committee meeting held on July 9 this year indicate that the budget for former president Kibakis bronze statue was raised from Sh15 million to Sh50 million.
- Briefing members of the private sector on preparations for the event at a breakfast meeting on Thursday, Mr Iringo declared that the government was determined to ensure that the event eclipsed President Kenyattas inauguration ceremony on April 9 this year.
- The meeting further allocated Sh20 million for the acquisition of 20 billboard size portraits of the countrys founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, former presidents Daniel arap Moi and Kibaki and current President Uhuru Kenyatta. This followed a proposal by the presidential master of ceremonies and the committee secretary, Mr Sammy Lui.
The government could spend a staggering Sh2.5 billion on celebrations to mark 50 years of Kenyas independence if a budget drafted by technocrats is approved by the Cabinet.
Budgetary proposals from the Kenya@50 organising committee reveal lavish spending on activities and projects such as billboards, statues and entertainment as the country marks its golden jubilee in the second week of December this year.
The huge budget includes Sh690 million for events management and logistics, Sh286 million for conference and exhibition during the one week celebration, Sh300 million for publicity and communication, Sh365 million for entertainment and a handsome Sh320 million to go towards identifying Kenyas most prominent personalities.
It also includes Sh50 million for erecting a bronze statue of retired President Mwai Kibaki hoisting aloft a copy of the Constitution during its promulgation on August 27, 2010.
In an interview with the Sunday Nation, Interior Coordination and National Government Principal Secretary Mutea Iringo, who chairs the national organising committee, maintained that the Sh2.5 billion budget was yet to be approved by the government but added that the private sector would be brought on board to fund part of it.
The budget has not been finalised yet, but I expected it Thursday July 25. The plan is that the government should not fund it alone. We want the private sector and other stakeholders to take part.
This is everybodys business, and we want all to take part. However, Ive instructed the committee that I dont want to see a budget that is too large, said Mr Iringo.
The figures are likely to infuriate Kenyans coming in the wake of a month-long countrywide teachers strike that paralysed learning in public schools and a ballooning public wage bill that is consuming over half of the countrys budget.
Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) chairman Wilson Sossion criticised the huge expenditure coming at a time when the government says it has no money to improve salaries in the public sector.
It is immoral to say the least. Sh2.5 billion is enough to educate all the needy children in the country. There is nothing to celebrate. Kenya at 50 is more of an ideological reflection of the post-independent Kenya than an extravagant spending by the countrys elite. The burden of funding the so-called celebrations will in one way or another be passed over to the taxpayer, said Mr Sossion.
Briefing members of the private sector on preparations for the event at a breakfast meeting on Thursday, Mr Iringo declared that the government was determined to ensure that the event eclipsed President Kenyattas inauguration ceremony on April 9 this year.
This event will perhaps even be bigger than the Presidents inauguration ceremony and that is why we want to involve as many people as possible and ensure it is a success, Mr Iringo said.
The government, in appreciation of the significance and magnitude of the 50th anniversary of independence celebrations, constituted the Ministerial 50th Anniversary of Independence Celebrations Preparatory Committee in May 2012, the PS said.
This committee comprised officers drawn from the then ministry of Provincial Administration and Internal Security. It held several meetings, and recommended the form and content of the celebrations in a report submitted in September 2012, he added.
He stated that the activities were slowed between September last year and April this year because of the political campaigns leading to the March General Election.
Minutes of the committee meeting held on July 9 this year indicate that the budget for former president Kibakis bronze statue was raised from Sh15 million to Sh50 million.
It was agreed by the members that the Sh15 million budget for a special monumental bronze statue of H.E. Mwai Kibaki raising aloft a copy of the Constitution should be enhanced to Sh50 million. Members felt that this was necessary so as to have a monument that was of the right scale, the minutes read.
Sh2.5bn budget for Kenya
You can dis him for all he did but not his health.Thats my point.But you keep it moving in circles.
Am going to assume iebc rigged this time again as your kind love to believe.Out of 8 presidential candidates,only one complained since obviously the rest were not in it to win?Right .
Am then again going to assume had it not been rigged Baba would have won,right?
He wasnt even close
You go ahead and lie that Hassan said he cannot 'lie' during Ramadhan...Ehe truth is he said he cant take an oath while fasting during Rama
But obviously i cant expect better from you.
As for problems facing kenya,if you dont know the reason for 1,4&5 then you obviously hope for the worst to drive your point home.Its simply the restructuring of govt that has caused a lag.If mid month comes without their pay then shout haki yetu.
As for lecturers striking i just hope you aint about to kid me that its a first time.
Almost all of these strikes were to be undertaken just before the polls but the candidates pleaded to have them after the polls.So really no incoming govt would have escaped this.
About kdf i aint aware.Please bring me upto date.Are those rumours?
Im not moving in circles sir all Im saying is the dude is an invalid...yes he is pretty sick and he has been for a while and all people are saying is why was he still clinging to power? This is a friendly advise and not a diss! If you are sick go and recuperate somewhere.
Thats all.
You are trying to cheeky here sir,..here is what Hassan said as per the Daily Nation:
"The MPs said the demand was in line with parliamentary procedures and was meant to ensure truthfulness.
Mr Hassan and his team declined and stormed out in protest, halting the meeting temporarily.
He argued that he and others were on a fast and that it would be wrong to lie under oath in the holy month of Ramadhan."

The man did not want to lie under oath...not that he did not want to take the oath.
In regards to 'the other 8 presidential candidates' it seems like you are the only one in Kenya who had no idea how many 'projects' the Mt. Kenya Mafia came up with during the elections. You can tell your stories to the uninititated!
Then you crazily try to lie here that almost all strikes were to be undertaken before the polls but the candidates pleaded to have them after the polls. Let me pause here and laugh first...bwahahahaha! Please give us the evidence that the Presidential candidates or whatever candidates you are alluding to, had a meeting with the leaders of these unions to postpone their strikes until after elections. Lord have mercy!...Even stupidity has its bounds. You must be kidding!
The KDF story was allover the Standard yesterday. Go get yourself a copy and meanwhile let me help you out with the digital version!
Unease in military over cuts in July allowances
Updated Wednesday, July 31st 2013 at 10:52 GMT +3
By Geoffrey Mosoku and Cyrus Ombati
Nairobi, Kenya: There is confusion and unease in the military after soldiers noticed a significant change in this months salaries as indicated on their payslips.
The Standard has established that their pay was less by an average Sh10,000 following the exclusion of food and laundry allowances that they have enjoyed for some time.
Commissioned officers and soldiers from the Air Force, Army and Navy received payslips that indicated only basic allowances.
The soldiers normally receive Sh9,500 as gas or food allowance, while an additional Sh2,000 and Sh500 is paid out to women and men respectively as laundry allowance.
Soldiers who spoke to The Standard on condition of anonymity, because military protocol does not allow them to comment publicly on the matter, said the change follows implementation by Kenya Revenue Authority of a requirement that even State officers pay tax on allowances.
Military officials, however, played down the concerns with Department of Defence (DoD) Spokesman Bogita Ongeri saying there was no discontent in the militarys rank and file.
Mr Ongeri said whereas the pay had not been slashed, there were alterations in the payslips of all Kenya Defence Forces officials that he attributed to the separation of vote items.
This is a matter of separating the vote items in the payslip to distinguish between those for allowances and that for salary. That has been explained to the officers, he added.
Ongeri explained that the two votes were facilitative allowance and salary. But multiple soldiers interviewed said the second vote is not reflected in their payslip.
Ongeri said unlike other disciplines and workers, soldiers first receive the slips before the salary is credited to their bank accounts. They will get their money by tomorrow in the accounts. Its only those who are on leave who have not been told what is happening, Ongeri added.
And the Chief of Defence Forces Gen Julius Karangi told The Standard no money had been deducted.
