Good People,--
This is what I have been talking about. The Political games should not
undermine Peoples Democratic Constitution for public service delivery.
The Law must do its part to protect peoples interest and take its
constitutional obligation in compliance without diverting attention.
The Demand for Mass-Action for Dialogue is inconsequential and is not a
Public Mandate or the prerogative of Peoples Constitutional Rights.
Meanwhile, Peace and Security are fundamentally important and necessary
and where those entrusted in the public service, must engage duty bound.
If people are not careful, the Business interest will overtake those of
Public interest through the back-doors of "Saba Saba Dialogue" and it is
why Al-shabaab and Mungiki may have been for hire to influence control
and power over the Democratic Principles of Constitutional Rule of the
Peoples' choice of Governance. It will be a mistake to take People
hostages at ransom for lack of Civic Education.
Why would people be so naive and stupid to allow themselves to be used in
the transfer of their Democratic Rule of Governance, to be controlled by
Special Corporate Business Interest groups who sponsor evil of terrorism
of gangs enforcers, which by going to SABA SABA DIALOGUE way, It is evident
this shall be confirmation of Power transfer. Why endorse EVIL where lives
of innocent shall be cut-short, when a democratic system of Justice in the
Court of Law is provided for?
Wake up people, wake up...................

Thank you Prof.Anyang Nyong'o , this careless talk from Aladwa is unhelpful.If he is so desperate to swear in someone, let him lay his hands on Kaghuli as overseer of dini ya msambwa in the larger tiriki region including canada.
ODM acting party leader Anyang' Nyong'o has dismissed claims by a section of Nairobi ODM leaders that party leader Raila Odinga will be sworn in as president if national dialogue fails to take place before the planned Saba Saba rally on July 7.
"Dialogue is not about the acquisition of political power. It is about solving urgent problems facing our nation. ODM leaders are urged to desist from making alarmist statements that may undermine our noble mission," Nyong'o said in a statement.
Nyong'o was responding to a story carried in the Friday edition of The Star titled ODM to 'swear in' Raila if there are no talks. In the article, ODM's Nairobi county chairman George Aladwa warned Jubilee members against using Raila Odinga's name in the Mpeketoni attacks.
"We are warning Jubilee leaders to stop using Raila's name when they talk of Mpeketoni. We are ready to demonstrate or politic to protect the name of our leader," he stated.
"The President must meet our leader Raila Odinga or at least send emissaries to discuss like he did during the Westgate attack failure to which we are going to buy a Bible and Quran and swear Raila as our President," Ochieng Jera, Lang'ata ODM chairman said.
Cord has been holding rallies that will culminate into the Saba Saba rally scheduled for the historic Kamukunji grounds on July 7th.

Charity begins at home, Aladawas name came up in the ODM's recently botched elections as among those who hired the men in black! He is an ODM insider and might have spilt the beans!!.I think ODM needs to sort this tribal issue within itself first before they even think of doing it nationally. Still waiting for a conclusive report on what happened at Kasarani to come out otherwise they will be doing the same things they accuse the govt of doing... sweeping important issues under the carpet
Jaluo
ODM needs to reign in its members and speak with a sober cohesive voice. All these "road side declarations" only work to perpetuate the current narrative that the opposition is hell-bent on destabilizing the government, which we all know is not true.
lester
It is this same indiscipline that could have cost them the 2013 election. ODM need to hire a no nonsense whip if they expect to be taken seriously.
Amused
Just like Ole Lenku does oh behalf of Jubilee, Aladwa is telling us what he feels the top brass of CORD wants.
Devobserver
Is planning to overthrow the government not a crime, and very serious one for that matter? If you add this man's statement to others like "nitakunyoa bila maji", "we won't wait for 2017", "we will liberate Kenyans on saba saba", "there will be a storm" etc, why is Anyang trying to be insincere with what he has scripted already with help of US?
MohanMathew
Did this news appear in any other national daily?
Jack
The other papers did not see this as news and are not in the business of reporting the obvious.
MohanMathew
....... or they considered it worth waiting for to materialize.
Devobserver
No, am reading it the first time. So you know now that some media houses can be political spin-masters themselves? If blogging had no haters and insulters, it would be the best!
mimi
hate speech aladwa !
Jei
''Where there is smoke........'' You might call Aladwa a moron but still read between the lines. May be there is something he is telling us that has irritated the CORD leadership. Beans about ''the Tsunami is coming''. ''Ukiona cha mwenzio kikinyolewa'', ''Cant wait till 2017''
kinyugo
it is called oral diarrhoea
kingmswati
George Aladwa is a 'jamaa wa mtaa' .. what do you expect to hear from such unpolished characters.. first of all he must have been high on some illicit substance.
DjembaDjemba
Where do morons like this Aladwa come from? Gasia kabisa, we have one president who was sworn into govt. Whether it was legit or not, Now with utterances like this, he has just rubished the whole ODM platform for dialogue. Now to the neutral public,ODM seems to be out to grab power by any means necessary while also arming Jubilee hardliners with more ammo to support what they have been saying all along.
Patriot
ODM's liability is its leaders with loose tongues. The likes of RAO, Kajwang, Aladwa, Muthama etc. If only they could think first and talk later
Jack
It is the government in waiting - I think that is what they call themselves
jtambo
ODM should not entertain these sort of leaders. Aladwa is no better than Johnstone Muthama and the fellow associated with weka tyre, men in black a Mr, Ndolo. ODM has genuine concerns but the approach is quite telling.
shalom
Exposed even more that will happen as truth comes forth! Peace loving Kenyans keep the peace...no one is telling us what will happen of 8.7.14!!

Now lets debate this issue soberly. Nobody ever claimed that Cord is involved so I do not understand why some of us have been crying like 2 year old. It was only said that local politics was involved. Now the mzungu seen, locals seen and the presence of Al Sabbab meant to deflect attention. This was high planned attacks involved several groups, and the motive, land and politics. So without bringing pang'ang'a, what is your take?

News US flies out embassy staff
By KEVIN J. KELLEY
More by this Author
The United States said on Thursday it was moving some of its Nairobi embassy personnel to other countries.
It also imposed broad travel restrictions within Kenya on the remaining personnel.
"The US government is also cutting back on its regional conferences and trainings in Nairobi," the State Department said in a new travel warning.
US government personnel are now required to get special approval to travel to the city's Eastleigh estate and to all counties at the Coast.
The restrictions on US officials' travel to Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi and Lamu have been put in place specifically in response to the June 15 attack in Mpeketoni, the warning notes.
The embassy staff are also prohibited from travelling to north eastern Kenya and to the coastal area north of Pate Island near the Somalia border.
"Although these restrictions do not apply to travellers not associated with the US government, US citizens in Kenya should take them into account when planning travel," the statement said.
American citizens considering travelling to Kenya were asked to evaluate their personal security "in light of continuing and recently heightened threats from terrorism and the high rate of crime in some areas."
This latest warning will likely dismay tourism officials and owners of businesses that heavily rely on the sector.
Visits to the country by holiday-makers have declined significantly in recent months.
"More than 100 people have been killed in terror attacks in Kenya in the year and a half before the June 15 and 17 killings," the State Department added.
"Twenty grenade and improvised explosive device (IED) attacks have occurred in Nairobi, illustrating an increase in the number and an advance in the sophistication of these attacks."
The US also directed an alert to its citizens of Somali descent.
Noting that Somali refugees in Nairobi and other cities had been ordered to report to camps, the State Department told Somali-Americans they "could encounter interruptions in their travel due to increased police scrutiny based on the encampment policy."

Ethnic clashes take regional angle
By Bertha Kang'ong'oi newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com
A fortnight ago, Mr Abbey Korrow, a newspaper vendor in Wajir town, was at his newsstand outside Titanic Hotel when he received a distress call.
His sister-in-law told him that a group of men from the Degodia clan were setting houses of Gare clans people on fire and attacking anybody in sight in the Waberi neighbourhood where Korrow lives.
Mr Korrow dashed home and was welcomed by the sight of armed men chanting war songs, with thick smoke billowing from the houses that had been torched. Terrified women and children ran helter-skelter as they cried for help.
The attackers and Mr Korrow would naturally have become allies given their common Degodia background. However, the newspaper vendor found himself on the receiving end of the violence that has blurred the line between victim and offender, and underscored the problems ahead in ending ethnic clashes in north eastern Kenya.
"I was concerned about the plight of my Gare neighbours who have lived in our midst for years," said Mr Korrow.
He was gripped with fear when he saw a group of angry Degodia men armed with knives, machetes, sticks and stones raid his home.
"The men said my crime was that I had married from the Gare clan, their perceived rivals in the ongoing clashes," he said.
That day alone, the mob set more than 200 houses ablaze, added Mr Korrow.
"They wanted to burn my houses that I had put up after years of saving. I told them that they would do that over my dead body. After heated exchanges, they agreed to spare the houses but they looted everything inside, including spoons," Mr Korrow explained.
About 500 metres away, 11 bodies of those killed on May 29 in Gunan village, Tarbaj constituency, were being buried.
The victims were from the Degodia clan. They were killed when suspected Gare clan militia raided their village and shot them.
This wave of violence between the Degodia and the Gare in Mandera and Wajir counties left more than 50 people dead and thousands displaced last month alone.
The latest round of fighting was triggered by the killing of three men from the Degodia clan by suspected Gares in Ogoralle, Wajir County, on May 13.
The three were clearing bushes on a road between Wajir and Mandera counties, authorities said.
The roadworks, funded by the Wajir county government, have been a source of controversy between the two clans. The Degodia claim the road does not extend into Mandera, while the Gare assert that it covers five kilometres into their ancestral land.
In retaliation, on May 15, gunmen from the Degodia clan ambushed a vehicle carrying some Gares, killing five people and injuring three others, according to Mandera County Police Commander Noah Mwivanda.
What followed have been tit-for-tat attacks in both counties, Mr Mwivanda explained, confirming that more than 50 people have been killed and dozens injured.
Mr Mwivanda said heavy weapons have been used in the clashes, adding that Wajir has been placed under an indefinite curfew to prevent the clashes from spreading.
Violence between the two clans have flared periodically since 1984. They have escalated in recent years, when drought sparked conflict over pasture land.
While the clashes have largely been blamed on disputes over water and pasture, the proliferation of firearms across the porous border with Somalia and Ethiopia has turned the violence into a regional security crisis.
Lately, the clans have used grenade launchers and armoured vehicles on their perceived clan rivals, said Mr Mwivanda.
Leaders have also been accused of stoking the animosity through inflammatory statements.
Mandera County Commissioner Michael Tialal said some of the leaders preach peace in public but fuel conflict behind the scenes in their struggle for political survival and relevance.
"When their popularity goes down, politicians instigate clashes and all of a sudden, their popularity rises," said Mr Tialal, adding that the government was investigating some of the leaders with a view to prosecuting them. (Mtaani News)
