My Dear, First you must stop communicating in aliases undercover and make your identity known. Secondly, we make this cry because we demand for hearing and for justice and that, the International Community including the United Nations commit to engage and assist to mediate to bring this matter of Crime, Violation and Abuse of Human Right in Kenya to a close. We have lost miserably so much and the pain prolonged with situations very pathetic and is deteriorating by the minute. Which is why we are demanding that the Government urgently make investigation on real suspects who own and have our properties and because matters are common place and highly suspecious. There are evidence that the Government is covering up and are protecting those who are cousing us harm through the very corruption, graft and impunity that are condemned .... which are reasons why we also seek ICC Hague's court invervention to listen to our grienvances if Kenya's Government shall not heed our cry and respect the International Treaty for Human Rights violations, Crime and Abuse. Yes, we are victims, and our lands have been grabbed and our lives made painfully misserable and we have been made to suffer consequences that are unfair by people and Agents of the Politically correct who network in ways and means not respecting common humanity law but through jungle of laws, they protect their stolen public wealth and reasorces in many ways where voiceless and poor people have no ways or means to protect themselves legally and our people are killed or poisoned left, right and centre........This is unacceptable....... We have evidence and many of our cases have been sat on in the court of Law, yet we continue to be made victims of sufferings. If the Government cannot begin to find ways to protect their own people against careless killings, corruption, graft and impunity; and if we stop complaining and talking about our sufferings with wrong things done on us, and where the Law is meaningless 50 years down the line except day in and day out, the powerful continue to perpetuate missery on the poor......who will save us from the loses, pain and suffering afflicted on us. Shall we continue perishing and suffering in silence.......... Maybe, and only maybe the world shall hear our cry and intervene to bring the Law to be of meaning and hear the cry of the marginalized and intimidated victims, the sorry circumstances of the voiceless and disadvantaged; and investigate circumstances why the Law is silent and defenceless in our pain, sufferings with careless killings that continue through LAND GRABBING with driving people away from their dwelling places without conviction, charges and why our people must continue dying without remorse.

You have been focused on things concerning developments in Kenya, which were good. But this your last communication do lack substances. Things like these can not be spread into the internet unless you are 100% sure and have evidence. I do advice you to approach the proper authority and put down some statement on these things about deaths. I have learnt in my life to distance myself from the scene of confrontation. Putting in a public cyber network about somebody whom you know who might have killed somebody is a first degree offense which might not go unpunished. I think you need a lawyer on this issue. If at all any of the dead relative happens to read these they will ask your assistance in a court of law as a witness. Or the person you are accusing might file a court order against you. I advice you to back yourself with good evidence; you might just need it soon.

Onyango, We want to see if people can add some more.....and yes, you are right. This happened and we all saw.....he hated Ojode with a passion but pretended..... he hated the fact that Ojode was loved by people and that his well known nick-named was SIRIKAL.....that made Raila very mad ever minute he thought how come Ojode is called Sirikal........it bothered him.......and Yes: 1) Odhiambo Mbai was a constitutonal Lawyer working on the Constitution of Kenya and he was killed and shot dead right in his house........this is another proof why Raila did not want constitution........and he did not press to bring to book those who killed Mbai.....the deal was, scratch my back, I scratch your back.......and the Constitution was then killed. 2) Ojode was killed because they became very protective and were managing the police force to dig and apprehend the terrorist, so he and Saitoti were made to die.......yeah, so Raila's mafia terrorist of Nigeria and the Somali should continue to dig for power......and you saw how they were laughing with Kimunya during the burial of Ojode.......oh yeah........Raila thought that we dont know...... This is why, Uhuru and Ruto may be knowing something and refused Kimunya to join their Gava.......we are doing fine so far........we must pedho some more.. how about those who worked for Kenya Railways Administration and they are dissapearing one by one to destroy evidence and for cover-up........!!! Yeah......go on good people, bring some more... you will know, I am not alone who already know who Raila is....... Now you can see why he hates Obama........Lazima asomewe kitabu yake...... na hatuta nyamaza --- On Sat, 6/22/13, onyango <> wrote:

Plan for Raila it to finish Luos. 1) After Raila and the Odinga family benefiting from Luo Thrift which includes Dudi shopping Centre in Gem that is Luo Thrift, Tom Mboya Mombasa, these are Luo Thrift; Makasembo Hall, these are Luo Thrift, .......etc.,.......then the Odinga family negotiate in a conspiracy during Kenyatta Administration to silence Tom Mboya….. taking South Nyanza away Luos wealth and resources. Jaramogi Odinga slowed down after Tom Mboya death and pretended that he loves the South Nyanza when he begun to engage extensively in South……we dint know it was our land which was targeted and our people prepared for extinction. Raila is turning Luo Nyanza into Slavery for Labour reserve for his commercial empire grabbed from Luos by ways and means. 2) The Molasses, was the reason a conspiracy was hatched to kill Robert Ouko wuod Seda. Raila then turned the Molasses his property when in actual sense Robert Ouko planned to create Development projects for the local people of the area and upon finalizing Molasses funding, that is when he got killed and farms in and Molasses from the Ancestral Clan of Imbo, Seme, Asembo, Uyoma was translated to BONDO CONSTITUENCY….. where Loans from World Bank, IMF, Hedge Funding, Pyramid Scheme, and with the UN Financial Institutions to include AfDB as well as South Africa was consolidated for Yala Swamp and Kibos Sugar and this only benefited Raila, the Odinga family with their Agents and cronies 3) Kassim Owango planned to fix water hycynth and put together COMESA, for projects in the Lake Victoria for the community in and around Lake Victoria to benefit, he too Raila conspired with Moi and Kassim Owango died mysteriously. Odinga Raila negotiated with Moi and Museveni, to overtake Lake Victoria with Migingo where they got loan from World Bank and the expense and bill is sent to the local community to pay…..this is unacceptable. 4) Joshua Okuthe and Nyaseme also died mysteriously from mysterious circumstances and then everyone is silent like nothing happened. Their money in the bank also disappeared mysteriously. Okuthe was prominent with the Soccer team and Nyasame had just got contract money from South Sudan and that too just disappeared. If they were killed, why is the Government silent why don't they investigate and give clear perspective of what actually happened. 5) Raila pretended with HIV and top-cut men speers in nyanza simply to finish luos and do sperm harvesting with the Chinese. This is another way to cut short lives of the Luo men. 6) Land Grabbing in Luo Nyanza is completely getting out of control and this is meant to benefit business men from Uganda, Rwanda, Nigerian, South Africa and Canada…….this is why Raila is shuttling from South Africa to USA to create and develop civil war conflicts and spoil for President Obama trip to Africa………following the same trend of how he has over the years finished our prominent Luos and taken their wealth and resources. 7) His recent bragging that he is heavier and mightier in his saying that: "Opuk pek ne Otenga"………is a simple show off to prove to his followers that he is more powerful than even our big brother……and it is what brought him here without official protocol but to pupu his stench…like he is used to pupu on our people. We trust in God and God will protect and preserve us now and always……..and for this, we shall not hesitate to expose all his dirty linen and demand that he face justice immediately so we can recover all that has been stolen from us. He must not be allowed to continue doing damage to the luos as it amounts to serious crime, abuse and violation of Human Rights. @@@@@@@Translated in Luo@@@@@@

In Washington Raila was driven around in the Kenyan ambassador's official car and his schedule was coordinated by the Embassy, in sharp contrast to the recent refusal by the Office of the President to deny him access to the VIP lounges at Jomo Kenyatta airport.

Oduor,
This is the way to go, unless we get credible answers on the questions we ask instead of arrogance, this entity will find it very difficult to penetrate Nyanza. Many will be 'mobilized" for photo sessions during forums but to sink their savings will be a hard sell.
One thing I like about our folks it that they don't shy away from asking hard questions and those questions are beginning to emerge even from some who rushed to "register" before doing due diligence on integrity of the entity.
The very poor must be protected and if an organization refuses to answer questions on probity and instead takes people on a whole course of chest thumping, it will only have itself to blame.
Any organization worth its salt will rush to provide such answers very promptly to the satisfaction of the public.
And right now, the urgent one is, when will Lee be paid for offering car hire services to KIMISHO worth Ksh. 14,000/= to traverse from Busia, Migori and Siaya, if he can't be paid and has to write off the debt, is this the strategy to fight poverty in Nyanza by bringing down small enterprises?

Kenya: Raila Tells Off the AU Over Hague By Timothy Kaberia, 20 June 2013 FORMER Prime Minister Raila Odinga has dismissed the "hardline" position over the ICC adopted by the African Union last month as an exercise in futility . He said that the anti-ICC crusade led by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is misplaced because "Africa must stop passing the buck and take responsibility for its own peace and development." Raila was speaking on Tuesday at the Woodrow Wilson Center in downtown Washington DC flanked by retired US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson and Kenyan ambassador Elkanah Odembo. Raila accused Museveni of wasting time on "mundane" issues instead of focusing on apprehending the Lords Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony and handing him over to the ICC. Raila said that African leaders should instead come up with strategies to help the continent achieve its economic dreams. He said that the continent had abundant resources and only needed proper leadership to make it competitive in the global market. "In the next 50 years, I envisage Africa to have a youthful and healthy population, to serve as a granary to the world, and to rest poverty to history. My dreams are reasonable and achievable only if bodies such as the AU stop chest thumping like we recently witnessed during the celebration of Africa's 50th Anniversary and get back to serious reforms," Raila said. Raila said that Africans want to see the AU come up with strategies for sustained reforms and inclusive economic growth. "There must be a deliberate strategy to develop the continent's productive forces and build structures to manage Africa's political, economic and technological relations within its members and international communities," he said. Raila said that leaders must respect human rights, better manage on mineral resources, and work on better prices for agricultural produce to help eradicate poverty. The former PM also challenged African leaders to come up with policies so that African states could dictate their terms of engagement with China. He said that Africa and Kenya must uphold their relationship with "traditional" allies such as the United States and Western Europe. Raila denied that he had become President Uhuru Kenyatta's special envoy and that Treasury was requesting an additional Sh34 million for his travel expenses. In Washington Raila was driven around in the Kenyan ambassador's official car and his schedule was coordinated by the Embassy, in sharp contrast to the recent refusal by the Office of the President to deny him access to the VIP lounges at Jomo Kenyatta airport. State recalls envoys ahead of shake-up Cabinet to the secretary nominee Francis Kimemia before the committee on administration and national security chaired by Asman Kamama at Continental house on May 24 2013. Some 39 ambassadors and high commissioners have been recalled as President Kenyatta prepares to assemble a new diplomatic team to champion Kenya's foreign policy. PHOTO/PHOEBE OKALL NATION - Kenya's ambassador to Washington DC, Mr Elkanah Odembo, Consular-General in Los Angeles, Dr Akinyi Odinga and High Commissioner to Canada, Mr Simon Nabukwesi are among those ordered to return home.
- The posts are reportedly reserved for those who lost in the elections. Former Cabinet Minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere and Eugene Wamalwa are among those who could benefit from the diplomatic postings.
Some 39 ambassadors and high commissioners have been recalled as President Kenyatta prepares to assemble a new diplomatic team to champion Kenya's foreign policy. The Nation Thursday established that each of the targeted diplomats, most of whom had completed their tenures, had received instructions to hand over to their deputies and return home. Their replacements could be named next month. Secretary to the Cabinet Francis Kimemia first wrote to them over a month ago. His letter was followed up by another with similar instructions by the new Director of Political Affairs at the ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr Robert Ngesu, this week. Kenya's ambassador to Washington DC, Mr Elkanah Odembo, Consular-General in Los Angeles, Dr Akinyi Odinga and High Commissioner to Canada, Mr Simon Nabukwesi are among those ordered to return home. Others are Mr Geoffrey Okanga (Uganda), Mr Mutinda Mutiso (Tanzania), Mr Richard Ekai (Thailand), Mr Dave Arunga (Egypt), Mr John Kakonge (Switzerland), Mr Ephraim Ngare (United Kingdom) and Mr Benjamin Mweri (Burundi). The recalled diplomats' redeployment or otherwise was not clear. Hand over to deputy Thursday, Mr Odembo confirmed that he had been ordered to hand over to his newly-posted deputy, Ms Jean Kamau. "I have also received two letters, one from Mr Kimemia and the other from ambassador Ngesu on Monday this week. I further received a call from Permanent Secretary Thuita Mwangi instructing me to prepare and hand over to Ms Jean Kamau who is the Deputy Head of Mission," Mr Odembo told the Nation on phone. He confirmed that he will be finalising on his exit next week so as to leave the mission to its next tenant. There has been a tug-of-war over the appointment of envoys playing out in government as senior State officials lobby for their favoured candidates to be named to strategic positions. However, officials of the ministry are said to be pushing for career diplomats to take charge of the country's diplomacy as opposed to political appointees. The decision caused a temporary stand-off between influential government officials at the Office of the President and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A month before former President Kibaki left office, a number of diplomatic appointments were made, raising eyebrows on their motives. The February appointments affected some seasoned diplomats who were recalled much earlier or moved to other missions. Mr Thomas Amolo previously in Pretoria was moved to Lagos to pave the way for Mr Patrick Wamoto who has already arrived in South Africa, while Ms Koki Muli was posted to New York as the Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Advertise positions Sources at the President's office revealed that the process of appointing new diplomats would be concluded before the end of the month and they would be posted by July 15. It is unclear whether President Kenyatta would choose to have the positions advertised and candidates subjected to a competitive recruitment process. Key missions such as New York and Beijing are said to have been reserved for allies of the President and his Deputy William Ruto. The posts are reportedly reserved for those who lost in the elections. Former Cabinet Minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere and Eugene Wamalwa are among those who could benefit from the diplomatic postings. Section 132 (2) of the Constitution states that the President shall nominate and with the approval of the National Assembly, appoint, and may dismiss high commissioners, ambassadors and diplomatic and consular representatives. | | | | |
