Uhuru Kenyatta bado yuamtafuta Raila Odinga kumpa ajira...

Kazi nyengine za kulazimishana hata sielewi. Raila keshasema hataki kazi kutoka kwa huyu bwana lakini Uhuru bado anamuandama. Kulikoni?

In Summary

• If he accepts the position of roving ambassador, Mr Odinga, who considers himself a Pan-Africanist, would join the Panel of African Eminent Persons which includes former Presidents Joachim Chissano of Mozambique and Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania.

A section of the government and some senior advisers of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga have made fresh attempts to have him appointed Kenya's Ambassador at Large.

Whereas the push began immediately after President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto were sworn in, it has intensified in recent days, according to aides of the three leaders.


Those in the know say Mr Ruto has been calling the former PM regularly telling him that his experience and international connections could be put to good use to advance the national interest.

Confirming the new developments, the head of Mr Odinga's campaign team in the last election Mr Eliud Owalo said the position was "something being pushed by people in government, but it comes with the condition that he quits local politics".

"That push is there. A lot of people want him out of local politics," he said.

Mr Salim Lone, a communications consultant and confidante of the former PM, would not comment on the details of Mr Odinga's plans and only told the Sunday Nation that "a number of assignments and jobs have been mooted, and the former PM is still weighing them".

If he accepts the position of roving ambassador, Mr Odinga, who considers himself a Pan-Africanist, would join the Panel of African Eminent Persons which includes former Presidents Joachim Chissano of Mozambique and Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania.

He would take up mediation assignments on the continent and elsewhere. But this is just one of the four options the former PM is mulling over.

The second is returning to Parliament to lead the Opposition, a position on which he has been sending mixed signals.

On the sidelines of a dinner organised by The Times newspaper in London, he told the Sunday Nation that he was considering either going back to Parliament to lead the Opposition or taking a back seat and assuming a role on the international stage.

Speaking at a funeral in Busia County last Saturday, Mr Odinga said he would push Cord's agenda from outside Parliament "so long as the Constitution was properly implemented".

Busia Senator Amos Wako had earlier told Raila to "come back to Parliament to reorganise the party".

The third option the former PM is said to be considering is for him to lead Cord from outside Parliament even as he prepares for a fourth stab at the presidency.

The fourth option is forming a foundation along the lines of the Kofi Annan Foundation and the Bill Clinton Foundation, which will focus on health, security, economic empowerment, leadership development, and citizen service.

Those favouring the foundation route say it would offer him a free hand and an enhanced status rather than a situation where he would have to report to the President or sit in the backbench of Parliament.

But the new push to have Raila take up a special envoy's assignment has divided his camp down the middle with some reading mischief into the move, saying it was a plot to push him out of politics so that his competitors can inherit his traditional constituency.

Mr Ruto is said to be leading the charm offensive because he believes he could easily inherit Nyanza. Some residents of Luo Nyanza credit the former PM's performance in 2007 to the Kalenjin vote which the Deputy President brought in.

Rarieda MP Nicolas Gumbo captured the dilemma in Cord when he said: "Opinion is divided on what role the former PM should play in the current dispensation.

There are those who feel Cord is lacking strong leaders in the two houses and yet there are those who feel if he became an MP in the current dispensation his role would be diminished. He said that Raila was receiving a lot of suggestions and that matters were complicated by the fact that his "persona was so huge that fitting him in any role was difficult."

Budalang'i MP Ababu Namwamba said: "Whatever role he decides to play, so long as it is not below his stature, he would be up there. Whether he becomes a special envoy or starts a foundation, it would be a big thing as he has a Midas touch."

[Nyani Ngabu]

Labda Uhuru anataka kumnyamazisha kabisa.

Lakini sidhani kama Raila ataingia kwenye huo mtego.

Na abaki nje tu ili alinde heshima yake.

 

[Crucial Man]

Ni bonge la mtego,wadadisi wa maswala ya kisiasa wanasema bora achague namba 4

 

[Bulesi]

He should go back to parliament as the leader of the opposition.

 

[Kabaridi]

Mr odinga had already began the journey as special envoy during the disputed election at ivory coast. it wont be a suprise if his career will end up in that direction. Mr gumbo and CORD must focus on what they were elected to do by kenyans. offer leadership.

Soma hapa mkuu....

WHAT KENYANS MUST KNOW:

The Uhuruto government is in limbo, despite the praises from a section of the wicked media that lacks integrity and a few kenyans who lacks the inner story of whatz going on in government things are getting out hand.

It has emerged that the donors largely from the UK and the USA have taken a low profile and delay in release of funds to foster various projects and other humanitarian aid in kenya,mostly in healthcare,education and infrastructure. This became apparent yesterday after detectives from both the office the president and his deputy spilled the beans.

They claimed that the US and UK governments and donor agencies from the duo nations which aids Kenya at 75% don't pick calls from the new government and this has results to change of tacts.

African leaders including Jacob Zuma of South Africa have advised Uhuru to persuade Raila Odinga to join his government and help him engage the 2 leading aid agencies, attempts to woo Odinga from state house has totally failed.

State house therefore advised Ruto to try persuade Odinga.

Yesterday the Nation newspaper did write that William Ruto has been making calls to the CORD leader Raila Odinga persuading him to accept the post of an overall ambassador basing his arguments on the his huge experience and international support he commands globally for the sake of the peasant kenyan people.

From our desk we want to urge the Former PM to reject the Jubilee government's call and foster in restructuring the CORD coalition stay put and continue in advancing as we near 2017.

The naked truth is the task ahead and the challenges we are yet to face as a country are self inflicting and we must be let suffer if we are to learn. Kenyans chose to choose ICC accused, government agencies fostered the stealing and doctoring of the results to help the duo hit above 50%+1 and the supreme court failed the test of times. The kenyan media today is also trying to justify her weakness.

I watched the Jubilee campaigns in length and the chest thumbing and arm-twisting we saw the abuses against the western world must haunt them.

Why abuse your leading aid agencies? Do you thing its your right to be helped?

The USA and UK give more than 75% of human aid to kenya but some jubilee demagogues were busy abusing the duo nation claiming that we are a sovereign state. What sovereignty if you can't feed yourself as a nation contain insecurity internally and externally?

On Friday people living with HIV/AIDS demonstrated from freedom corner in Uhurupark to the CBD I was shocked reading the placards "OBAMA WE ARE WATCHING YOU"

What a sense of ignorance and impunity is this? The global fund is an aid and kenyan government agencies must know that donors have got a right to withdraw when they want and if they want to avoid such silly humiliations they must plan to budget for their own medicines.

Kenya as I speak to you is the leading nation in the rise of resistant strains of HIV/AIDS in the south of Sahara which accounts for 66.67% of the world's HIV pandemic contributes to 10% of the world's wealth and 10% to the world's population then someone wonders why countries from south of Sahara be first ones to be accusing the western nations of sabotage.

Kenya is a hub of all duty and wicked things, just 5 years ago we only had one HIV type 1 today we have both types 1 and 2 with all subtypes.

News that some college students were caught having sex with Dogs was not shocking to me but was a clear explanation of how dirtier our country has fallen. No-wonder we elected a president and deputy facing crimes against humanity.

On treatment we are the most consummating nation in the south of Sahara in HIV/AIDS treatment. The WHO recommends that those on 2nd line treatment should not exceed 20% but as we speak the figures from NASCOP are indicating 29.87% whereas Uganda is at 12% those in 2nd line.

Are we a cursed nation?

Let the kenyan media woke out his slumber and do the oversight let them stop telling us how and why Raila Odinga failed, He didn't fail his victory was stolen because he doesn't subscribe to the kenyan nonsense, but you can see they are looking after him.

US AND UK fund Kenya 75%? Sorry try our neighbours :heh:

Kujidai???????? ha ha ha ha,,,,si,,kujidai lakini rais Moi aliwahi kuendesha inchi
miaka ya 90's,,bila hii misaada,,hawa mabepari walipo,,,msusia baada ya
Moi kuwaambia,,,,to go to hell.

This is the truth na ukweli ni vingumu kufichika.

 

[Jammu Africa]

The USA and UK give more than 75% of human aid to kenya but some jubilee demagogues were busy abusing the duo nation claiming that we are a sovereign state. What sovereignty if you can't feed yourself as a nation contain insecurity internally and externally?

The kind of aid to Kenya from the western country and their friends,,
like Japan,,,is very small,,the last time i checked was,,under 19%.

I will,,first,,like to understand the meaning of the term,,,,human
aid,,,and if it is those donations like,,mosquito nets,,funny biscuits,,
medicine for malaria and HIV,,,,then,,i cannot dispute that figure of
75%,,which we can easily do without.

These western governments wanted to punish Moi when they withheld
their so called Aid or whatever but Moi survived it,, and,, it is not,,until
when Kibaki took over that these westerners came back and started
doing business with him,,,,,,, again.

For those in doubt,,,let them check the last year's budget and all the information
will be found,,in it,,,for free,,,see the percentage of the so called foreign aid,
which is almost,,,nothing and very embarrassing to quote,,for it does not
make any difference and we can easily do without and reclaim our
honor as people.


We pay more than a hundred billion,,per year,,,paying those useless,,loans
grants and other funny names,,acquired from these conmen,, when we
do not see,,what all those moneys,,did to our country.

People and,,especially,,the Africans,,,that,,time has come to wake
up and,,see,,clearly.

That,,we give more to the western world,,more than we get from
them.

 

[Jammu Africa]

People are,,just,,wearing themselves out,,,with very funny imaginations.

Why do people want to deceive themselves that,,Uhuru needs Raila,,,,
near him????? wolololo....eeeeee,,,,

We have passed elections times when Uhuru needed any one.

It is 2017-18 when Uhuru will likely look for Raila Odinga if he, Raila,
happens to survives the long and lonely journey of 5 years,,,,,
not forgetting that there are many,,,in CORD,,,,,preparing to
snatch whatever left of him,, Raila.


The time of nusu mkate is over and people should get used
to it,,,,and very fast.

The numbers,,says it aloud,,,something the CORD coalition
realized after having deceived themselves that they could shake
the Jubilee side in the national parliament when cord tried to show
their 'small' muscles which,,,never worked.

Now,,the cord members of parliament have come to their senses
and taken up,,their positions in all committees,, in the parliament,,
na,,wameamua,,,,,kufuata,,,,,Nyayoooooooooo.

CORD members have taken too long to realize that,,these are not the
days when Kibaki could not do without Raila or vice versa,,this is,,,,,

Njumbiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,,times,,ebu,,uliza mr Obash,,in the US!



Uhuru Kenyatta has a free hand,,with the numbers behind
him,,,,,and for anybody to talk about Raila Odinga,,si jui nini,,
wonders never cease.

If Kenyatta happens to give Raila Odinga any role,,,which
i don't see,,will b done according to Uhuru Kenyatta's term
and not the other way round for the simple reason,,,,
that,,,,,Raila amekwisha na,,,labda,,,umurushie tuu,,,
ka slice,,,yaani,,,kutokana na huruma lakini si ushawishi
kwani,,,,haaaaannnnnna,,,,,,,yeye ni skeletone,,,,

na tafadhalini,,,,

Mwacheni Raila Odinga apumzike na ammue ni
lini ataanza kuuza maandazi,,,Kibera lakini,,,,,
kumebadilika,,,,ni Kibra,,si Kibera tena.

 

[BASIASI]

ronaldoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Jammu Africa]

What sovereignty if you can't feed yourself as a nation contain insecurity internally and externally?

I just fed myself and my family,,this morning. No time did America
nor Uk,,,ever fed my family or people of Ngong.:yell:

So,,if there people who get food from America and UK,,in Kenya,,
that's is news,,,to me.

Nairobi, Kenya: Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has declared he is not interested in a State job following speculation President Uhuru Kenyatta was considering him for a posting.

Raila was categorical that President Uhuru had neither offered him a job nor had he asked for one from theJubileeGovernment.
“I have a job already. I am working for the people of Kenya and my hands are full,” he said Sunday at EvangelicalLutheran Church in Nairobi where he attended a service. Raila had an unsuccessful run for the presidency under the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy in the March 4 presidential vote.

He challenged President Uhuru’s victory but the Supreme Court upheld his election.
Sunday, Raila said he was dismayed by reports the reason he was yet to announce his next move was because he is waiting for a job from the Government.
Reports in a local paper (not The Standard) had said that Uhuru had made a job offer to Raila in the diplomatic circles.

It was reported that Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto have been keen to have Mr Odinga take up a State job. It further said Raila could also be considering joining Parliament or running CORD from outside Parliament. But Sunday Raila dismissed the reports. “Why say reliable sources told us. Who can be more reliable than the President and me? They should have called the President and me to verify the facts,” he stated.

He reiterated that no offer had been made to him and that neither had he rejected or accepted any offer.“People are calling me to find out if I had been given a job. I am busy and have a lot of other things to do,” he reiterated. Raila said Kenya now has a President and CORD is the official Opposition in Parliament.

Fight for change
“Our work now as the Opposition is to keep the Government in check. We are supposed to tell the Government when it is losing direction,” he added.
He said the Government and the Opposition all have a responsibility of giving Kenyans a life they deserve.
He noted that Kenyans would continue to fight for change.
“We must continue to open up the democratic space. We must live to fight for it and to protect it,” he added.
Raila urged Kenyans to consolidate the gains they have made so far in their efforts to broaden the democratic space.
“We don’t want politics of exclusion. Everybody must be involved,” he stated.
Leader of Minority in the National Assembly, Francis Nyenze and MPs Oburu Odinga (Nominated), Millie Odhiambo (Mbita), Simba Arati (Dagoretti North) and Chris Wamalwa (Kimilili) accompanied him.
Raila said he is disturbed by reports indicating that he has not been in the limelight lately because he is waiting for a job.

He asked Kenyans not to feel sorry for him because the electoral body did not declare him the presidential winner of the March 4 elections.
He said Kenyans should focus on making their future lives better and not the concluded elections.
It was reported that Raila is working on his memoirs, following his defeat in the last General Election.

The report claimed there is a job awaiting the former Prime Minister in the diplomatic circles, but that it would be announced after Uhuru meets Raila. It quoted another senior aide saying that Raila was writing his autobiography.

Good Constitution

Oburu reminded Kenyans that they are in a new dispensation since they have a good Constitution and a devolved Government.

“Unfortunately, the people guiding the Constitution are the same people who opposed it before it went to the referendum. We don’t know if they will fully implement it,” he added.
He added that CORD would be watching the conduct of Government from the Opposition benches.
“We have been in the Opposition before. It is something we know very well because we have been doing it for a very long time,” said Oburu.

Millie Odhiambo thanked God for seeing the country through a peaceful election.
“When you ask God for something, he says no, wait or yet. I believe God said wait for us,” she stated.

Wamalwa promised the congregation that CORDwould hold the Government accountable and hailed Raila for fighting for the wellbeing of Kenyans. “What is meant for you cannot be taken away. It can only be delayed,” he said.

He is not fit for any position

 

[ByaseL]

Cord leader Raila Odinga on Sunday said he was not ready to take up a job with the government because he is already engaged in various international assignments, which are keeping him busy.

In an interview with the Daily Nation, Mr Odinga sought to put to rest the job debate, saying he had received no job offer in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government.

“I have received numerous invitations from across the world. I have accepted some and declined others. This does not indicate to you I am a person who needs a government job,” he said. “There is no offer I have seen and I do not need any job to stay relevant in this country,” he said. “For avoidance of any doubt, let me state here that I will not accept any job if offered by President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government.”

Mr Odinga said his “inbox” was full with international and local assignments that will keep him on his toes in coming days.

“What I told the President is that he should resist the temptations to kill the opposition the same way successive governments have done,” he said on Saturday.

Mr Odinga met President Kenyatta during the funeral of Knut secretary-general David Okuta Osiany in Kisumu last month.
