In Coast, all leaders have expressed their support for the Rt Hon Prime Minister and told him to soldier on, that Balala is all by himself and his sour grapes count for nothing. They did this in a very cool manner. And the people are with Raila on this. In Central Province, their people lost the most during the PEV and they never came out like Team Ruto. They have also come out and told the Rt Hon Prime Minister to Soldier on. Again, the people of Central are with Raila on this. In Ukambani, The Grand Maestro, Hon Charity Ngilu has assured Raila of their support and in her usual style, taken offense with those who have consigned the Kambas to perpetual poverty. And she is gaining ground there. The people of this area are with Raila on this. In Rift Valley, Hon Franklin Bett has seen the light and jumped ship. In his usual flip-floping manner, he has seen danger in associating with Team Ruto. He has poured his support with Raila. Besides, all the Maasai leaders have always been with Raila on this. In Nyanza, Western and North Eastern Provinces, Kenyans are solidly behind Raila on the Mau issue. In The Rift Valley and Nairobi, Raila is on top of things. And Many Kalenjin brothers and sisters are for Mau conservation. So who does Ruto and his 4 followers speak for? So, where does this leave the 2 Rutos, Keter, Kutung and the other guy. They are only five vocal noise makers and true to the adage, the loudest noise come from empty tins. They are only 5 MPs and they make all the loudest noise. Bring in the censure motion on Raila, kenyans are waiting. BTW, do these 5 people read the papers?

Wams, Ruto does not have the Nos. There are those like Kilonzo who went to help in the noble and humanitarian moves towards assisting the evictees. Some people saw votes aimed at crippling Raila's wings. Raila has Kenyans (majority) behind him and most MPs will see sense in that. Already they are starting to see "njata" stars as Balala and Uhuru and Kalonzo can tell you. When they will be told to carry their own crosses, they will stop payukering. Let them look for another reason to fix and they may be lucky then but this Mau thing will not work against Tinga. On the hand, the evictees must be treated humanly and there is no need for creating for IDPs. But conserving the Mau will be carried out and Raila will be the last one to laugh. I was hoping that they introduce the motion to "destroy Raila" so that they get embarrassed but they saw that they were walking on a cliff and we bound to sink into the deep sea. Lets see how the manage to reinstall Kalonzo as Leader of Govt Business on Wednesday. This they may succeed but I doubt will clip even a kawing of Raila.

How many MP's does Ruto have on his side? On 11/30/09, Kuria-Mwangi wrote: Kibe Muigai brings another angle to this debate. Assuming that a motion of no confidence succeeds, does that entails collapse of the coalition as many people thought or would ODM be required to get person to assume the Premier position? If the latter is the correct position, then team Ruto may be encouraged to wage a coup against Tinga with the bigger question being whether they can get the required votes (a simple majority?). Majority of the MPs would not be interested in joining the band wagon if the departure of Tinga would imply the collapse of the Coalition and so another general election. But Tinga should sit comfortably with the knowledge that there are many people, including MPs who hold the same position held by Mutula Kilonzo, that the vote is trivial and porojo being waged by the Envelope Alliance (http://www.standard media.co. ke/maddworld/ ?). Kuria -- NAIROBI, Kenya 30 Nov - Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Mutula Kilonzo has described a planned vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister as ?petty politics.? He says if successful, the motion against Raila Odinga by a section of Rift Valley MPs over his stand on Mau evictions will frustrate reforms in the country. Addressing the media after opening a journalist training workshop, the minister said: ?Any petty dispute like arguments over (the settlement of squatters from Mau) that translates to a vote of no-confidence in the PM could disrupt the grand coalition. ?How am I going to produce a new Constitution for you? I need the PM together with his supporters.. . I need the PM together with his political skills therefore it is not a matter that is engaging me.? He said he had not been approached by those who support or oppose the Motion saying that he was focusing on keeping the coalition united in order to deliver on constitutional and institutional reforms. Mr Kilonzo is one of the members of the National Dialogue team that drafted the National Accord which set up a grand coalition government under the leadership of Prime Minister Raila Odinga and President Mwai Kibaki. Meanwhile the supremacy battle within the Orange Democratic Movement could intensify after it emerged that the party would be forced to choose another person as Prime Minister should the no-confidence vote against Mr Odinga succeed. Constitutional lawyer Kibe Mungai told Capital News in an interview that the notion that Mr Odinga?s ouster as the PM may mean a collapse of the grand coalition government was erroneous. He said the both the PM and President signed the National Accord on behalf of their parties. ?The confusion that has been there in Kenya is that the creation of the National Accord Act was to make Mr Odinga the PM is not true. If a vote of no-confidence passed and ODM cannot pass anybody else then a coalition of parties will present another person to be the PM,? he said. The battle is likely to pit deputy party leaders Musalia Mudavadi and William Ruto against each other as to who would replace Mr Odinga as the PM. In the past Mr Mudavadi has always beaten the agriculture minister to any party title by virtue of having the PM?s ear. During the run-up to the formation of the grand coalition government the local government minister got one of the deputy premier?s spots leaving Mr Ruto to settle for the agriculture portfolio. Last year during the party?s elections, ODM was forced to split the deputy party leader?s slot after MPs from Rift Valley threatened to walk out if Mr Ruto was not elevated to the position. The MPs have always argued that the Mr Ruto deserved higher ranking than Mr Mudavadi since his region delivered more seats and voters as compared to Mr Mudavadi's Western province. Mr Mungai said that the both Mr Odinga and President Kibaki signed the National Accord on behalf of the parties and not as individuals. The lawyer however said the no-confidence vote was ill-timed as it was likely to negatively impact the enactment of Agenda Four-related reforms. The National Accord and Reconciliation Act 2008 which created the post of the PM stipulate that the Premier must leave office if a vote of no-confidence is supported by a simple majority in the House. http://www.kuria- mwangi.blogspot. com http://www.facebook .com/kjmwangi -- http://www.kuria- mwangi.blogspot. com http://www.facebook .com/kjmwangi __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group Messages in this topic (5) Recent Activity: New Members 1 Visit Your Group Start a New Topic ---------------------------------------------- Pay your membership early; send cheques to the Treasurer to avoid disconnection.

As we all muster our energies together against HIV and AIDS today on World AIDS DAy (WAD), it gives me great pleasure to thank Myung and many other eminent people before and with him to bring us where we are today. I have always believed in the "invincible new" which is a continuum that brings forth the past, binds it together with the present and helps us plan (and dream) for the future. We are all striving for a cause which renews us as individuals every day so that we can work better - collectively. Please allow me to thank each one of you for being a part of ASAP's dynamic outlook as an organisation that has sworn to uphold the interests of a diversity of people; PLWHAs, high risk and vulnerable communities, GLBT, and the majority which has provided unflinching support to the communities over decades. I would like to comment here that we will not have a policy of mutual exclusion of one view point with the other. Or replacement of one sexual orientation with the other! Since humanity is interdependent,so are all of us bearing different faiths, orientations, professions and obligations. I will be as keen to promote the interests of struggling post-exposure persons as we will be to prevent pre-exposure prevention. On this day,I am with you all to work harder together to contribute to a multisectoral, multifaith and multiethnic struggle against HIV and AIDS. WAD is not a ritual to be observed this day every year, it is a guide to action; a reminder to renew our commitment, organise our resources and gear up synergies to fight! Once again, I humbly thank all colleagues whose consent and dissenting opinions have helped me grow over the years. Best regards. Zahid Hussein President, ASAP -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To start sending messages to members of this group, simply send email to aidsrights at googlegroups.com If you do wish to belong to AIDS Rights , you may subscribe by sending an email to aidsrights-subscribe at googlegroups.com If you do not wish to belong to AIDS Rights , you may unsubscribe by sending an email to aidsrights-unsubscribe at googlegroups.com ?AIDS RIGHTS :http://www.aidsrights.net http://www.twitter.com/aidsrights ?AIDS WIKI :http://www.aidswiki.cn ?http://www.changkun.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Raila is doing the right thing but like a brainless tinga. He has been tricked by Kibaki and cohorts and has swallowed the bait. It is over for him. The house of Mumbi, of Koitalel and Masaku have sealed it (KKK). Mulembe, Luiyas are fast catching up for KKKL, cost is in, North Eastern in. So far Raila should know he is only with Nyanza. He is done,? not because he is doing the wrong thing but for lacking tact and spice of wisdom. Moi got power by playing smart games with Kenyatta, Jaramogi lost for being careless. Some things do not have to be done today if today will curtail your tomorrow's success. Hold horses and plan. Ramogi House have proved the poorest strategists since independence.? During PEV, Raila rushed to Sagana incognito like a thief in the night and a sheep for slaughter. He was salughterred by being given a roar deal in Nyeri. Did he see it? Seemingly not. He is the one who has been fighting to death for survival of the "union" (coalition) even though he got only bones after winning the election.? Koitalel house have seen the folly and have decided to work with the guy they do not trust but at least have some brains. People, do not just shout all the time, there is a time to dive under.? Has Romogi house ever known diving? NEVER. This has been their down fall. How can you be careless with a brother, your true supporter who was willing to die for you?? Yes, people will leave Mau but How? especially considering what they have gone through in land dealings since independence? By throwing them on the road for the entire world to see that you are conservationist?? If that is not a lack of wisdom, strategy and political skill, what is? Why doesn't Raila rialize that Kibaki is completely quiet? The day before Panafric fundraiser, Kiraitu and other central leaders promised Raila support for 2012.

You have a bump in your consistency? and that bump is your current pain in the ass. You have to shake off?that?bump and redeem that consistency;its possible. If anything else, the legacy at risk is far much bigger than the opportunity cost. 2.If you manage to go on a course to shake off that bump ( and maybe like someone said, through a clever, subtle, action oriented 'public apology'), you will be supported.Remember, we are Kenyans; we work on a LIFO (last in, first out) gear. we shall have forgotten your 'sins'. 3. If you allow your detractors to hold you onto that inconsistency, you shall lose us completely.Majority of those who were 'scared' of you is because they didnt know the 'real' you.The inconsistency of the past had you in a red and yellow goat skin. 4. We are not asking you to be mahatma gandhi or mother teresa but the real Raila Odinga. so forgiveness and staying the course yields higher benefits.

Right now, you have receeded back into 2012( I hate 2012!!!), for you, that is greater than the drying rivers, the dying cattle from drought, the livelihoods lost by perrenial femine and drought, the dying and endangered wildlife, the slow death of tourism as a result,the starvation all over,the perrenial power rationing that causes job losses and factory closures, the..........??? ? Now, leadership is exactly what Raila is doing, he is the PM and seeks to solve the serius environmental issue we are facing Kibaki's inaction notwithstanding. It is amazing that you choose the side of the greedy and the selfish on the MAU issue. ? Baraza, have you ever heard of Mahatma Gandhi and such like leaders in history? They did not just look at "2012lves" of their time, they looked at posterity and the wider picture. ? Sungu ? --\\- On Mon, 11/23/09, Christine Baraza wrote: ? From: Christine Baraza Subject: [YP_Ke] Raila is seriously Misreading Kenyan Politics To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Date: Monday, November 23, 2009, 4:48 PM Raila is one man who is seriously misreading Kenyan politics. He seems to have energy and courage but not intelligence. Has Raila ever asked himself why MWAI KIBAKI, KALONZO MUSYOKA, UHURU KENYATTA, JOHN MICHUKI, NOAH WEKESA-all cabinet MINISTERS who MUST be conserned with CONSERVING MAU are standing by the side and watching him destroy his POLITICAL FUTURE? If the decision to save MAU was a cabinet decision-why is there no cabinet MINISTER including the PRESIDENT in the forefront with RAILA is saving MAU? ? In 2012 no Kenyan will remember that RAILA saved MAU and vote for him. IF Raila believes that his political career is OVER and he wants to leave the POLITICAL SCENE then let him SAVE the MAU while others who should be joining him watch. RAILA is destroying ODM with the support of THOSE whom he competed against in 2007. ITS true that MAU is a national issue and must be conserved BUT While we say that then ALL MINISTERS AND THE PRESIDENT must be with RAILA in SAVING MAU. IF NOT THEN RAILA HAS NO BUSINESS SAVING MAU. ? Why Destroy your PARTY while others are LAUGHING AT YOU. Others who too have the RESPONSIBILITY JUST LIKE YOU HAVE? RAILA IS REALLY BEING STUPID in this. I SUPPORT Conserving MAU but all CONCERNED MUST PUT THEIR POLITICAL CAREERS ON LINE for a NATIONAL GOOD not just ONE PERSON. If thats the case then RAILA SHOULD IMMEDIATELY QUIT CONSERVING MAU and join the others because in 2012 these people will be laughing all over and KENYANS will still vote for them on trbal basis as usual. RAILA READ THE TEA LEAVES and quit fighting for national good that no leader is INTERESTED IN EXCEPT YOU. ? ? --- On Mon, 11/23/09, sagongonyi chemurwok wrote: ?

To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Date: Monday, November 23, 2009, 9:11 AM Felix, you write like you are spoiling for war? your tone and language is not acceptable. Do you want us to use this forum to spit epitheths against each other? you are bordering on using insults against a whole community. While Mau should be conserved, let us debate soberly. Otherwise moderates like us will start retreating to our communities. While i agree that those settlers without title deeds should move, it is important for the state to identify who are the genuine ones and need? assistance. The fact that it was done in Mt. Kenya and Mt. Elgon without any incident does not mean that it was right. What we need to be? asking ourselves is, after these people in Mt. Kenya and Mt. Elgon were evicted, how are they surviving? you saw what happened to? those who were evicted in 1989 in Mt. Kenya , they have stayed by the roadside to this day. Nobody has bothered/bothers to assist them. Is that right? it is the role of a government to provide for her people. Just coz these guys were evicted and nobody complained at the time does not mean that it was/is right. Supposing there are genuine squatters who may happen to have nowhere to go; what should they do? they are being told to go where they came from, where could that be? We complain of insecurity and clashes yet we create breeding grounds for them. When people lack a means of earning a living, they will definitely resort to violence. Are we saying that the government has been successful because these people have been removed? did the gvt evaluate the immediate and long term consequences of their actions? do you think these people will go somewhere and stay idle? very soon you will hear occurrences of land clashes and cattle rustling in Molo and its environs. Towards 2012, you will see them back in Mau and nobody will bother with them only to be evicted again after elections. You will of course see serious land clashes in RV just before elections; this time they will be big and intense. This is because these people have nothing to loose and they would want to hurt someone so that they can be heard. The govt is using a very simplistic approach in solving landlessness in this country. When this thing explodes,? we should not complain that we were not forewarned. It may take 2 or 20 years; but i can assure you that we shall not escape it. ? On 11/23/09, Felix Otiato wrote: ?

Surely, where does the government expect these people to go? It's really sad.

Just to remind you the so-called communique which is being pointed at is alleged to have been ame in 1989 wheras the Kadhis courts were in existence even before there was a single person in Kenya who adhere to the Christian faith. Secondly, yr presentation is nothing new. Exactly the same information was peddled and circulated during the last referendum to hoodwink Kenyans about the courts. This was accompanied by leaflets distributed in churches showing that violence will break out if the Kadhi courts are incorporated in the constitution. For generations, the courts were in the Kenyan law books and we never saw any of the so-called Abuja declarations being incorporated nor violence btn Muslims and Christians as a result of the courts. It is high time that a culture of tolerance was exhibited as contrary to these, we should not listen to such characters who happen to create discord among the different Kenyan communities who have lived in peace and harmony for generations.

Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 11:38:48 +0300 Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] Using the EOMONTH Function Message-ID: *Summary: *If you need to determine the date of the last day in a month, it's hard to beat the flexibility of the EOMONTH function. This tip explains how to use this function in your formulas. (This tip works with Microsoft Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, Excel 2003, and Excel 2007.) The EOMONTH function is used to return the serial number value for the last day of any particular month, past, present, or future. The syntax for the function is as follows: =EOMONTH(base, offset) The *base* value is a date from which the function should do its calculations, and the *offset* is a number that indicates how many months from the *base* date should be used. For instance, an *offset* of 0 would indicate that EOMONTH should return the last day of the month represented in *base*, whereas an *offset* of 4 would be four months after *base*, and ?2 would be two months before. As an example, the following are typical uses of EOMONTH. The first line can be used to return the last day of the current month, and the second line returns the last day of the month six months later than the date in A1: =EOMONTH(NOW(),0) =EOMONTH(A1,6) Remember that EOMONTH returns a serial number. Excel does not automatically format the serial number as a date. In other words, you will need to explicitly format the cell as a date. In versions of Excel prior to Excel 2007, the EOMONTH function is a part of the Analysis Toolpak. If you get an error when you try to use the function, you can make sure the toolpak is loaded in this manner: 1. Choose Add-Ins from the Tools menu. Excel displays the Add-Ins dialog box. 2. Make sure the Analysis Toolpak check box is selected. 3. Click on OK. |Free 2-Hour Excel Conference every week on Skype | Skype ID - kipkanist | 3 DAYS TO GO!!!

URL: From kenne2ke at yahoo.com Tue Dec 1 07:50:11 2009 From: kenne2ke at yahoo.com (kennedy waweru) Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 04:50:11 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] Godliness a means of financial wealth? Message-ID: <48689.21018.qm@web56701.mail.re3.yahoo.com> You know, very few people would tell you that they are content with what they have. Very few people, who are not lazy, have no desire for wealth. Very few people, hardworking, have the right reasons for asking for wealth. This may be a contentious issue but if you look at it in the eyes of a few Bible heroes, or better yet in the eyes of Jesus, then it would turn out to be a straightforward issues. you find that much of the rot in the Church today is because our desires have been exploited by intelligent and clever people who have no problem reading the Bible and then using Bible verses to mislead us and exploit us. Knowing that we desire wealth, good health and peace as humans, these false prophets have gone into the world and gathered around them many whose itching ears have no room for sound doctrine. Like Paul writes to Timothy these are the days that we have heaped upon ourselves preachers with all the "right" words and not sound doctrine. The right words in that with regard to fleshly desires they are appealing, but with regard to issues of the soul, the heavier issues of the law, they are wanting. I have seen that we no longer want to be told of hell, its like it ceased to exist some years ago out of the will of man, or simply because it is not an appealing message. At one time Paul asked "have I become a pleaser of men?". We have forgotten or chosen to ignore the fact that God is loving and long suffering yes but also when the time of judgment comes He will execute it in righteousness and truth in accordance to His Holy Word, just like in the times of Noah and Lot. We must speak of the looming judgment like Jonah and bring the people to repentance out of love, for if we don't and we continue to say what the ears long for then their blood is equally on our hands. It is refreshing in this dark world to see those who know their God and who know that God wants them to be lights and the salt of the earth going about everyday letting their lights shine. But what is it about wealth that the Bible talks about? What is it about wealth that everyone wants to preach about, including soscerers and witches? What is it about it that makes many a christian so gullible to fall to fables? Pick two characters, Solomon (wealthiest) and Joseph (right honorable). And Solomon was asked to name that which he wanted God to give him. His response was, Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?" (I Kings 3:9) This speech pleased the Lord, it has no ounce of selfishness and the motive was honorable. He was asking, not out of selfish desires, but for the good of many that the Lord would help him to fill his father's big shoes. And God gave more than that. You know it reminds me of Matthew 6:33 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Joseph was also one character who falls under such a category. I have to say that everytime I think of Joseph it reminds me of Romans 8:28, it depicts the perfect example of the fact that all things work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Well, you know what traspired and eventually Joseph became the PM of Egypt. Shortly after the death of his father, Joseph's brothers thought that he would seek revenge but Joseph says. But Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. You see, Joseph did not perceive what God had achieved in him and through him as meant for him alone, but he knew that all that God did was for the good of many, the saving of the lives of many. So, the message that the Lord has put in my heart today is that even as you seek and knock, it pleases the Lord to have a child who seeks after the good of many. Let's move from the notion of me, me, me. Let's seek for the heart of God and not become a sink to the blessings of God. It is good and pleasant, a sweet aroma to the Lord when one lays down his all for the good of many, for Jesus says that there is no greater love than this. So, even as you pray for blessings in this and that, please remember to allow the Lord to have His way in you and all that is yours. David had stores and stores of materials for the house of the Lord, yes, his wealth was stored up for the Lord. Let's learn this vital lesson that the LOVE of money is the root of all evils. The reason for this is that today we have false prophets gone into the world, just like we are forewarned in the scriptures, who are out to mislead and deceive to an extent, if possible, even the elect. We are in danger of harboring desires that are not pleasing before the eyes of the Lord. We are in danger of having people in the Church claiming this and that while the state of their soul is in essence dead. We are in danger of being like Babylon, full of wealth and trade while in essence our destiny is tragically not heaven. We are in danger of being like the churches of Sardis and Laodicea, churches with reputation of being alive while they were actually dead, a feeling of having much wealth but in essence were wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. Jesus asks What's the point of being rich and losing your soul Paul writes If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:1-10 So, the message of the cross is not about reclaiming the wealth that we lost, but about you and I being sinners thus separated from God and God paying the price for those who accept. It's about being born again in the spirit and living a life of godliness as sons and daughters of God, for godliness is not a means for financial gain. So, brothers and sisters in Christ, let us strive to seek first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these things will be added to us. This is not a call for judgment and dissensions, but an awakening call for us Christians to realize that the devil is not asleep and just like Paul wrote his sectrets works are already being manifest in the world today. Let's trend carefully taking note of the Word, sound doctrine which is able to benefit the soul and save us from the day of judgement. Amen But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. -- 2 DAYS TO GO!!!

IT'S OUTRIGHT DEFAMATORY INNUENDO! Kenyans voted ugliest in Africa Kenyans were last weekend voted the funniest looking people in Africa . With 48 participating nations in the Annual Most Beautiful People of Africa Awards, held at the Gregor Theatre in Bloemfontein SA, Kenya took the last position, dislodging Zambia and reclaiming the title it held in 2000. It posted 7pts out of a possible 540. The top position was taken by Rwanda , followed by Cameroon and then Ethiopia as second runner up. The last three positions were Kenya at 48, Zambia at 47, then Gabon , at 46. The judges said they gave their points based on presentation, physical appearance, grooming, communication and other areas. They say that Kikuyu womenand Luo menpose the most weird features. Read this: Women from the Kikuyu community have small legs, totally no figures, and a little exaggerated heads. They lack good behinds and those who have them look like inflated balloons. They are shaped like pyramids turned upside down. A big upper frame and an almost invisible lower bit. Luo men on the other side have distorted facial features..say big lips and huge noses or should we call them knobs. Kikuyu men are also un proportional, and most of them are stunted. They walk leaning forward. Plus they have long rusty teeth. Those from Kisii Districts are small people, the average Kenyan man will stop growing at 5m tops. Kisii men have mango shaped heads, and bowed legs, a feature also common in their Luhya counterparts He goes on to describe Kalenjins as Funny little pitch black emaciated fellows, raking in millions from the track. However long they remain in Europe , their features never improve Nandis will have rounded foreheads and thin, long arms While occupants at the coast province are said to have Wide faces, almost like a widescreen telly, especially taitas, and durumas Luhyas are the most weird creatures on earth. Men have very big noses and big lips while their partners have big funny looking hips and legs like those of animals. Kenyans do not know the meaning of good grooming, The writer says. The women hate their dark skins and opt for mercury bleaches which mess them up. The result: A scary (unpigmented) light face, black legs, and a black back.As much as the Kenyan accent, of standard English is admired, too much mother tongue interference, common in Merus, Kisiis, and Kikuyus. -- 2 DAYS TO GO!!!

URL: From Dickens.Odhiambo at gmsi.com Tue Dec 1 10:02:45 2009 From: Dickens.Odhiambo at gmsi.com (Dickens Odhiambo) Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 10:02:45 -0500 Subject: [Jambo] Don't dare censure Raila, Mutula warns Message-ID: Don't dare censure Raila, Mutula warns Updated on: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 Story by: Alfred Kyalo http://www.kenyatimesonline.com/ Sacking Prime Minister Raila Odinga through a motion of no-confidence could result in a constitutional crisis in addition to stalling the reform agenda and hampering the ongoing national reconciliation efforts, Justice minister Mutula Kilonzo has warned.Speaking to journalists yesterday, Mutula warned that passing such a motion against the PM who is a signatory to the National Accord that legalised the power-sharing agreement could lead to the collapse of the Grand Coalition Government and return the country to political crisis that obtained before February 28, 2008 when the Accord was signed. In expressing fears that a successful censure motion could be dangerous, Mutual noted that such a move could derail the implementation of the reform agenda, saying: "You need the grand coalition to be able to secure the reforms needed by Kenyans." To this end, the minister warned against pursuing petty politics at the expense of critical issues of national importance.He was referring to a section of Rift Valley MPs who have locked horns with the Prime Minister over the Mau restoration plan and who have threatened to punish the PM with a censure motion because of his determination to evict people have encroached on the water catchment resource. The said Rift Valley MPs claim that Raila has targeted 'their people' for eviction instead of protecting them because of the political support they accorded him during the 2007 general election. But although the Mau restoration is a government policy that has been backed by Cabinet and Parliament, the said MPs, some said to be beneficiaries of land in the water tower, have decided to personalise it by targeting Raila for criticism. Despite the clear scientific facts concerning the need to rid the Mau of human settlements in order to save it, the MPs are determined to see to it that the conservation policy collapses so that the settlers retain their positions in the catchment area. And Assistant Minister for Education Prof Ayiecho Olweny has dared the Rift Valley MPs go ahead with the anti-Raila motion, saying it will fail miserably. Speaking in Kisumu, Olwenyi who is also Muhoroni MP warned Raila's detractors against politicizing the Mau restoration plan. Kangundo MP Johnstone Muthama also voiced his opposition to the planned motion, saying it could hurtle the country to the brink of another precipice.Speaking to Kenya Times on phone yesterday, Muthama who is a fierce critic of the PM, said this time round he would "not support such a motion blindly." Said he: "Politicians should rise above petty politics and address major issues affecting the nation." Muthama who is also Deputy Chief Whip in parliament said Raila's political differences with Agriculture Minister William Ruto over the Mau evictions are becoming a major concern for the country and should be contained before they spill over. These remarks came amid claims that a section of Rift Valley MPs allied to Agriculture Minister William Ruto are planning to move a motion of no-confidence against the PM within the next 14 days, citing his uncompromising stand on the Mau.The MPs are believed to be lobbying their ODM-Kenya and Kanu counterparts to support the motion when it comes up in Parliament.Despite giving provisions for such a motion, the National Accord is, however, unclear on the constitutional direction the coalition government should take in the event such a motion succeeds. The matter is particularly tricky because Raila, as an individual, plays a critical role in the survival of the coalition government. Being a signatory to the power-sharing agreement in his capacity as the person who contested against President Kibaki in the 2007 presidential election and who disputed the outcome of the polls, it is difficult to contemplate the coalition government without Raila. On Sunday, Konoin MP Dr Julius Kones, hinted at introducing a censure motion against Raila. The MP was quoted saying that MPs critical of the PM's handling of the Mau issue would notify the Speaker of their intention to table the motion. So far, House Speaker Kenneth Marende has stated that he is yet to receive notice of such a motion but noted he will take the necessary steps once he receives it.Cherangany's Joshua Kutuny, another Raila critic, said if the evicted settlers are not compensated, the PM will be censured in Parliament.The Rift MPs are counting on the support of their 'newly found allies' in Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka's ODM-K party and Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta's Kanu as well as legislators from smaller parties.But Raila has brushed off the threats, maintaining that he is "ready to pay any political price" in his drive to conserve the Mau complex. During a public rally in his Langata constituency on Sunday, the PM accused those criticizing him of politicizing the issue for their personal and political gain. He maintained that the campaign to restore the Mau was unstoppable, adding that those opposed to the Mau restoration exercise were wealthy landowners exploiting the poor settlers. If the MPs make good their threat, this will be the third time for such a motion to be brought during the reign of the Grand Coalition government.Trade Minister Amos Kimunya and his Agriculture counterpart William Ruto have in the past faced similar motions in Parliament.Kimunya was forced to resign as Finance Minister after MPs censured him. The legislators were incensed over the irregular sale of Grand Regency hotel. However, Ruto who faced a similar motion over the maize saga survived after a large number of legislators united to defeat the motion. And in an apparent plan to disguise Ruto's hand in the no-confidence motion, Kones said they would use an MP from outside Rift Valley to table the motion.But Kuresoi MP Zakayo Cheruiyot had over the weekend been quoted saying Kutuny would move the motion.Cheruiyot expressed optimism that the motion would succeed saying it has strong backing from majority MPs angered by the PM's stand that has resulted in the 'humanitarian crisis' facing those already evicted from the forest. A censure motion of this kind would require only a simple majority of the voting MPs to succeed. Other than Mutula and Muthama, two other MPs, Kambi Kazungu and Dhado Godana, have also opposed the motion.

I have been reading the bible from Genesis and i am now in Leviticus. My questions: 1. After God created Adam and Eve and chased them from the garden of Eden, they had children in the names of Cain and Abel. Cain married and moved to Nod. Whom did Cain marry? did he marry his sister? how come we are not told that Adam had other children after Cain and Abel before Cain married? it was after Cain married that Seth was born to Adam and Eve. So, whom did this Cain marry? Adam and Eve were the only human beings on earth before Cain and abel. 2. The bible zeroes in on Israel from the beginning. When you check the names being mentioned in the bible like Noah, Cain, Abel, Seth, etc they are all Jewish names. Are we wrong if we say Genesis talks about creation in reference to the Jews? 3. Exodus talks about the movement of the Jews from Egypt to the promised land. Leviticus talks about the way of life of the Jews ie the DOs and the DON'Ts. Where do we come in here? If you follow Exodus properly, you hear God talk of my people. I was even shocked when i came accross a verse where Moses is trying to advise God. Is that possible? when did God choose the Jews to represent mankind? My take is that the bible describes the history of the Jews and not mankind. I will continue reading this book and pose more querries to you. -- 1 DAY TO GO !!

An essay supervised by Fr Joachim Omolo Ouko, AJ who has been also Andruga's teacher on Justice and Peace, he is challenging Christians and religious leaders on their role to public ministry on reconciliation and healing in Kenyan post-election violence. Given that Jesus Christ who reconciled and healed the broken-hearted people during his public ministry, Andruga argues that he should be a model for the Kenyans especially the Christian and religious men and women, young and adults in this country in the process of reconciliation and healing. This is because peace making was central in Jesus' agenda during his public ministry; healing people from various illnesses, casting out demons, incorporating the sinners/outcast to the society in full dignity, 'peace be with you', the post resurrection announcement to the fearful apostles-the runaway friends, become the reason for his incarnation and the final goal in eschatology; The culmination of entire Christ's event. He wonders what could be the attitude of Jesus towards the perpetrators of post election violence (the envelopes of Waki Report), the message on providence of God. With the spirit, Jesus was united with the father, to proclaim good news for the broken hearted so that their brokenness is transformed and liberty for those in bondage of laws, demons, prejudice, and ethnocentrism and be transformed for peace. Freedom from oppression; oppressed by sins poverty, anger, fear, leadership and greed of power, money: freedom in Jesus is for everyone; authentic freedom in Jesus terribly amount to peace. Peace was Christ's first gift of post-resurrection to the fearful and disappointed apostles: 'peace be with you, as the father sent me, so I send you' (Jn. 20:23). Hence, he mandated them to continue his peace-mission. The apostles in their turn handed down this peace-mission of Christ to the church and down to our time. Therefore, we are challenge by Christ not to lose sight of him in carrying out the central message of his peace-mission-the mission of the blessed Trinity. The relevance of his work is to present the challenge of peace-mission as an ongoing human existential challenge and an ecclesial challenge in particular; peace is a culminating point of all human endeavour and the highest point of ecclesial promise, and in fact the entire promise of all world religions. In this work he demonstrates to the readers that, there is one highest desire common to all human race, live alone other creatures; the desire for peace. The most wanted criminals became criminals/ terrorists in their search for peace at least subjectively; 'if I live side by side with my 'enemy' I would not be at peace'. That is why the teaching of Jesus, 'love your enemy'-to be at peace with your enemy is still very difficult to be assimilated by his followers even in our time, especially given that violence erupted because votes were stolen. According to the Office of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) which visited Kenya from 6 to 28 February 2008 on fact-finding concludes that, irregularities in the electoral process were prime trigger of the post-election violence. It explains why the spontaneous trend of violence occurred immediately following the announcement of the contested result, whereby the opposition party with their supporters took to the streets in protest predominantly in Kisumu and Nairobi slums. The OHCHR fact-finding team with detail information ascertained that, in other places namely Kibera slum area of Nairobi, Eldoret and Kisumu the administration police and GSU used excessive force amounting to death and injuries of many people, even children. In his way forward Andruga proposes that the dialogue should be mediated by non-member of the communities involve and should draw members from all the communities involved and there should be a model as point of focus; this is because the leaders seems to have fallen short to be a model in this case even the community elders. He is also proposing that 'peace education should be introduced in schools and other public forum', this should be aimed towards the youth because they are vulnerable group who were used and could still be used easily by politicians special those languishing in situation of unemployment and poverty. Through formal organization of peace education, the young generation hopeful would have a better understanding of the members of other communities; that would reduce cultural stereotype and biases. They would begin to look at their own culture with critical eyes and appreciating the giftedness of the people of other cultures. Hence, would begin to de-programme themselves from the lie of their respective 'ethnic god-fathers'. This is one of the important steps towards building 'the Kenya we want'. Institutions of higher learning as a long term programs should adjust its educational syllabus to include elements of peace studies in every department so that every grandaunt within his/her profession has an official mandate for peace mission from academic point of view. If we are contented to say peace is a concern for everyone, then we are challenge to get involve to form everyone in attitudes and intellectual power. Out reach and conferences, seminars, workshops symposia are of outmost important service the institutions of higher learning ought to offer as a contribution to reconciliation and healing process this country is going through. Unfortunately, the struggle for leadership and students' organization in universities still on the testing ground of ethnic divides; the campaign and election in Kenyatta University is a recent example to illustrate this point and the tribal students organization in Catholic University of Eastern Africa and Tangaza college, just a few to mention are still going on unabated. Andruga proposes further that for a long term there should be constitutional and institutional reforms and an end to impunity as keys to addressing long-term issues of justice and peace. Constitutional reform should take into account major reforms in land policy; that means it should aim at legal issues on land disputes and government should have in its power the land of Kenya for Kenyans and formulate a policy to settle her people who have become squatters in their own country. At institutional level, the government has to develop a just policy to safeguard the tenants from injustice and abuses of landlords/landladies; overcharging and cases of illegitimate landlords/landladies: situation, which keeps landlords/landladies and tenants in potential conflict relations; like such situation in Nakuru as discussed previously in this chapter. Trauma healing is also a key to sustainable peace: The post-election violence, no doubt has negative impact in people's memory, directly or indirectly. Sustainable peace is nothing other than cumulative peace, first experience by individual members of the society; which comes from personal and collective healing from anger, fear, revenge, and ethnic prejudice and lies. An assessment of psycho-physiological function should be conducted and treatment of automatic symptoms is to be considered, so that the individual can begin to re-establish a sense of personal, physical control. This will invite the people who have lost trust from one another would once more begin to trust and recover their common humanity and self-hood and beginning to own their suffering, pain and managing their anger, then they will begin to experience inner-peace. Bishop Cornelius Korir assertion is of a living challenge for those of us engaged in the process of sustainable peace; 'peace must begin where conflict is, not in a rarefied, air-conditioned atmosphere.' Someone may wander, how easy it is to mediate a reconciliation and healing process in this manner; yes, it possible of course not too easy. That is why there is need to non-violence approach. This is because it challenges us to move towards fuller life of love and community of God's children-a one human family. It is a basic attitude when we are seeking reconciliation and healing for communities. John Dear in his book underlined four basic qualities of non-violence attitude; remembering and acting out of our basic identities, unconditional love which accept suffering in order to right wrongs and serve others humbly, active resistance to violence and injustice through courageous truth-seeking and finally prayer: '.because God loves the suffering humanity, and the whole human family unconditionally'. It explains why the catholic social teaching condemned violence as a means of bringing peace with strongest words possible; Violence is never a proper response. With the conviction of her faith in Christ and with the awareness of her mission, the church proclaims "that violence is evil, that violence is unacceptable as a solution to problems, that violence is unworthy of man. Violence is a lie, for it goes against the truth of our faith, the truth of our humanity. Violence destroys what it claims to defend: the dignity, the life, the freedom of human beings. The witness of archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador is still a relevant memory in our time and challenging the church of today and more insistently the church in Kenya; he inspires people with words and actions to transform state endorsed violence by addressing courageously the root causes of violence to the extend of risking his life to death.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <841171.16672.qm@web62103.mail.re1.yahoo.com> Omwami Majiwa papa, ? I am abit naive when it comes to some things. My mind?gets very hazy especially when confronted with a little bit of Confusion. ? Now here, I would like some clarification from you, regarding your suggestion of Mr "Elephant" (Ndlovu) as a motivational Speaker to the YP's proposed event. These are the questions: 1. What are the intended goals to be achieved?? 2.?How will we address the objectives to achieve them 'goals'? It looks to me that this your Ndlovu man is well packaged for improving the organizational abilities of either individuals and or Organizations. But the Speaker that YP's need, is a person specialized in motivating the masses to effect change based on good Governance. I say this because we have thousands of successful people with exellent organizational skills, but a very large percentage of these people?do not have a clue on how to?motivate any soul on, good day to day Governance. As such they will not have a clue on necessary steps to be taken to effect real change in Society. ? I would say that the right people that?YP needs, are the likes of President Obama or "Mandiba."? Now, using these people as the Barometer or the Datum YP, can sieve?a number of names, then Zero in on individual speakers who can be able to deliver on those goals and objectives of achieving them. ? Who will make the YP transform itself into a vehicle of Change in?good Governance of the country Kenya, which is being rapped by her Leaders? Who will motivate YPs to be able to mobilize the masses in a direction of change? INDIVIDUAL Improvement or Cooporate may be part of it, but I believe, these are not the main goals nor the objectives in achieving goals that is needed at this moment in time. ? Just my two cents, ama "Pesa nane Politics'. ?

You are doing the right thing. Just read the Bible in these areas. And please take a very big note of the first five books, that is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Those books and espeacially Leviticus spells out the Rules of engagement for the "Children of Israel" (These are the Hebrews) ? Note that I have put them children, in bold and italic. ? I did this in order to clear a confusion that seems to?arise in, as to who is who? Now the Children of Israel must not be confused with JEWS.? The Children of Israel are descendants of one Jacob son of Isaak. Jews on the other hand are descended from Ashkenaz. This is because most Jews in the present State of Israel refer to themselves as Ashkenaz Jews. Others are Shepheardin Jews who are descended from one Esau (Edom) as is revealed in the Book. And the Book also commands you never ever to add or subtract from it. ? I will leave it for you there, to dig deeper, for it is not for me to reveal to you what is written in the Holy Book. Just read for yourself and see. The truth shall set you free. On this, not even Pastor Birai or the Pope himself can shed good light to you. The book reveals it all. It will shock you. Infact you might end up discovering where the "Lost tribe of Israel" are. Over to the?Holy Book. ?

I have been reading the bible from Genesis and i am now in Leviticus. My questions: 1. After God created Adam and Eve and chased them from the garden of Eden, they had children in the names of Cain and Abel. Cain married and moved to Nod. Whom did Cain marry? did he marry his sister? how come we are not told that Adam had other children after Cain and Abel before Cain married? it was after Cain married that Seth was born to Adam and Eve. So, whom did this Cain marry? Adam and Eve were the only human beings on earth before Cain and abel. 2. The bible zeroes in on Israel from the beginning. When you check the names being mentioned in the bible like Noah, Cain, Abel, Seth, etc they are all Jewish names. Are we wrong if we say Genesis talks about creation in reference to the Jews? 3. Exodus talks about the movement of the Jews from Egypt to the promised land. Leviticus talks about the way of life of the Jews ie the DOs and the DON'Ts. Where do we come in here? If you follow Exodus properly, you hear God talk of my people. I was even shocked when i came accross a verse where Moses is trying to advise God. Is that possible? when did God choose the Jews to represent mankind? My take is that the bible describes the history of the Jews and not mankind. I will continue reading this book? and pose more querries to you. -- 1 DAY TO GO !! YOUNG PROFESSIONALS END OF YEAR GALA NIGHT ?

By the way Muslims are not opposed to any attempt by Christian or other faiths also having what they consider as their laws in the constitution. Thanks Abu Ayman THE KADHI'S COURTS - Setting the Records straight (By Ahmed Issack Hassan, Commissioner, CKRC) Introduction: The new Draft Constitution published by the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission in October 2002 has generated a lot of debate and discussion as was expected and required under the Law. Among the many Provisions of the Draft Bill that came under scrutiny and analysis was the one dealing with the Kadhis Courts judging by the copious amount of correspondence and arguments for and against that have appeared in the press. This article aims at informing the on-going debate by setting out some of the basic facts about the Kadhis Courts that appear to have been ignored in the debate and analysis. It is important to approach every issue calmly and objectively and not subjectively, emotionally and with a pre-conceived idea/mind. But much more importantly, it is crucial to get all the facts correct about any issue before jumping to conclusion. It is only then that one can make an informed decision. An objective and honest discussion about the Kadhis Courts must consider their history and present status, the Commission's mandate and what the people said before coming to the stage of analysing the present draft constitution. Historically, Kadhis Courts existed in the East Coast of Africa long before colonization. In Kenya, they existed in the Coast, which at the time of colonization, was under the Sultan of Zanzibar. In 1895, the Sultan gave the British power to administer the 10 mile coastal strip subject to their respecting the existing Kadhis Courts among other conditions. The British did so and declared a protectorate over the coast while the rest of Kenya was a colony proper. The Sultan however retained sovereignty over the 10 mile coastal strip. During the last years of the independence struggle and at the start of the Lancaster House Constitutional talks in 1961, the status and fate of the coastal strip came up for determination. The British organised separate talks for the delegates from the protectorate of the coast and those from the Kenya Colony. The British Government and Sultan of Zanzibar also appointed a Commissioner, Mr. James R. Robertson, to study the issue of the coastal strip, consult all those concerned and report to them. In his report, entitled, "The Kenya Coastal Strip ? Report by the Commissioner", he reported that opinion was divided as to whether the coastal strip should join Kenya, or be declared independent on its own, or reverted back to the Sultan of Zanzibar. He however recommended that it should be joined with Kenya subject to the Kenya Government guaranteeing to respect the existence of the Kadhis Courts among other conditions. The Prime Minister of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta and the Prime Minister of Zanzibar, Mr. Shamte on behalf of the Sultan of Zanzibar, then signed an agreement in October, 1963, in the form of an exchange of letters whereby the Sultan of Zanzibar relinquished/surrendered his claim of sovereignty over the coast to Kenya in return for mzee Kenyatta guaranteeing the continued existence of the Kadhis Courts among other guarantees. When the independence constitution was written, the Kadhis Courts were enshrined under the chapter on Judiciary. At Independence, the Kenya Government expressed its sovereign desire not to be bound automatically by all the pre-independence treaties and agreements entered into by the colonial Government. By his note reference EXT. 237/003A of 25th March, 1964, addressed to the Secretary General of the United Nations, mzee Jomo Kenyatta informed the United Nations of the Kenya Government's intention to review all pre-independence treaties and agreements and determine which agreements will be honoured by the Government and those which will be abrogated or modified after appropriate notice to the interested parties. It is important to note that the 1963 agreement between the Kenya Government and the Sultan of Zanzibar concerning the Kenya Coastal Strip and the preservation of the Kadhis Courts was among those agreements that were immediately honoured by the newly independent Kenya Government. This is proved by the fact that the independence constitution of 1963 enshrined the Kadhis Courts under Chapter 5 in the Judiciary and thereafter Parliament passed the Kadhis Courts Act, the Mohammedan Marriage and Divorce Registration Act and the Mohammedan Marriage, Divorce and Succession Act to make these courts fully operational and functioning. At independence, the Kadhis Court were 3. In 1967, the Kadhis Courts Act was passed which increased the courts to 6. They have subsequently been increased and today they are more than a dozen spread over the country. The Kadhis Courts were entrenched in the constitution as a measure of safeguarding the integrity of the agreement reached on them. If the courts were established under Ordinary Law by an Act of Parliament alone, then it would have made them vulnerable since any decision to abolish them would have required a simple majority of the members of parliament to repeal the Act. Under the present standing orders of Parliament which sets the quorum of the house at 30, it means that only sixteen (16) Members of Parliament could do so. In contrast, to abolish the courts as enshrined in the constitution would require a two-thirds (2/3) majority in Parliament. As a minority therefore the Muslims in Kenya find great relief and solace in the entrenchment of the Kadhis Courts in the Constitution. Section 66 of the current constitution provides for the Chief Kadhi and Kadhi's Courts and states their powers as being to decide on issues of Muslim personal law between Muslims i.e marriage, divorce and inheritance. The Commission's mandate under the Law is to collect, collate and analyse the views of Kenyans on changes to be made to the constitution and to recommend amendments or other changes thereto which faithfully reflects the views and wishes of Kenyans. The commission was to study the judiciary, among other institutions, and seek people's views on how the judiciary could be improved. The Kadhis Courts are part of the judiciary and the legal systems. When the commission issued "issues and questions" for public hearing to guide the people in the collection of the views, the same contained questions on what was to be done to the Chief Kadhi and Kadhis Courts. Many of the people, organizations and experts who gave views on the Kadhis courts did not at all question their existence but advocated for their retention with some improvements or modifications. The Muslims generally asked for the enhancement of the role and status of the courts while in some cases like in N.E. Province, they asked for the full application of Sharia Law in their areas. The team of judicial experts and eminent scholars from the Commonwealth in their report on the judiciary also recommended the retention of the Kadhis Courts in their present form. A group of Human Rights and Legal Organisations such as KHRC, LSK, ICJ, FIDA, etc, also prepared a model constitution under the motto, "Kenya Tuitakayo" (the Kenya we want) and in that model constitution, they also recommended for the retention of the Kadhis Court with their present jurisdiction and for the Chief Kadhi to have minimum academic qualification and to enjoy the same status and privileges as a High Court Judge. In recommending improvements to the Kadhis Courts, the commission was faithfully reflecting an analysis of the views it received. It is therefore wrong to suggest that CKRC is favouring Muslims or creating parallel court structure or introducing Sharia Law through the back door. The commission did not receive any views for the creation of courts for Jews, Hindus or others. Sharia Law is not being introduced as the jurisdiction of the Kadhis Courts are clearly confined to matters of personal Law between Muslims. There will be no stoning to death for adultery or cutting of hands even for the Muslims in Kenya as this is covered by Islamic Criminal Law which is not permitted here in Kenya either in the present constitution or under the new draft bill. The Kadhis Courts do not exist in Kenya alone. Several countries in Africa and the Commonwealth that have a significant population of Muslims provide for these courts in their constitutions and Laws to cater for the regulation of the personal status of their Muslim Citizens. Save for those countries that have established Islamic states which apply Islamic Law throughout the country, other states tend to limit the jurisdiction of these Courts to matters affecting the personal status of the Muslims. In some cases, the jurisdiction is exclusive to the Kadhis Courts while in others the Courts are established as subordinate Courts to the Secular High Courts or Supreme Court. The Kadhis Courts are also called Qadhis Courts (Uganda), Cadi Court (Gambia), Sharia Court (Nigeria), Shariat Court (Pakistan) and Religious Court (Jordan). The Nigeria constitution provides for the establishment of the Kadi and Sharia Courts in the states and in the Federation. The Sharia Court of Appeal is to compose of the Grand Kadi and such number of Kadis as may be prescribed by Law. The jurisdiction of the Sharia Courts is listed under Sections 262 and 277 of the Constitution. The qualification for appointment to the office of Grand Kadi or Kadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal is set out by Sections 261 and 266 of the Constitution. Sections 264 and 279 give the grand Kadi, who is equivalent to the Chief Kadhi in Kenya, the Power to make rules for regulating the Practice and Procedure of the Sharia Court. The major difference between the Kadhis Courts in Nigeria and Kenya is that the former apply full Islamic Sharia law while in Kenya, the jurisdiction is limited to personal law i.e marriage, divorce and inheritance which is the case in Gambia and Uganda. The Gambian Constitution under Section 137, establishes the Cadi Court to be constituted by the Cadi and two other Scholars qualified to be a Cadi or Ulama. Appeals from this Court goes to a review Court composed of the Cadi and four ulamas (Islamic Scholars). The Cadi Court has jurisdiction to apply Islamic Sharia in matters of marriage, divorce and inheritance where the parties before the Court are Muslims. The qualification for appointment to the position of Cadi requires a person of high moral standing and professional qualification in Sharia Law. The Ugandan Constitution establishes the Qadhis Courts under Section 129 as one of the subordinate Courts of judicature exercising judicial power in Uganda to deal with matters of marriage, divorce, inheritance of property and guardianship. The argument that the Provisions in the Draft Constitution treat other religions less favourably is clearly without merit. Article 44 of the Draft Bill is a basket clause containing several sections guaranteeing and protecting the freedom of religion for all. The Kadhis Courts, which fall under the Chapter on the Judiciary, could not have been brought under the ambit of article 44 which comes under the Chapter on Human Rights. The Kadhis Courts should be seen in the context of the judiciary and the legal system and not as a religious or Muslim issue alone. Those opposing the Kadhis Courts and making allegation of bias for Muslims are politicising the issue and creating unnecessary tension and disharmony between the Muslims and their Kenyan brothers and sisters. By whipping up emotions of other people who may not have all the facts before them, these people are undermining the goals of the constitutional review process which is inter alia to unite the country and to respect and promote the ethnic and religious diversity of the people of Kenya. It is the hope of all those who wish to see the continuation of the peace and harmony that exists between the different religious communities in Kenya that men and women of goodwill in Kenya will see through the propaganda war being waged against the Kadhis Courts and support the recommendations of CKRC which is a faithful reflection and analysis of the views received from the people. ________________________________ From: "jekambi at daystar.ac.ke" To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Sent: Wed, December 2, 2009 7:40:40 AM Subject: Re:Re: [YP_Ke] FW: ISLAMIC AGENDA IN THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION. The whole constitution gives rights to all faith, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Traditionists, etc X100, to freely worship in whichever way. All but one has its rights stipulated in the unifying constitution, WHY? Each of these groupings have own constitutions that help them run their affairs, only should they conflict with the unifying constitution, then troubles begin. No one is saying no to Khadhi courts being in some constitution, all we are skeptical about is why in the main one. The reasoning that the other religions have not asked, in not intellectual and wise. These other religions have their holy books and own written something. But they too have a right to fight for their right. But what is ones right? Let?s be reasonable and sober in this matter. The constitution is not about us, it is about a Kenyan people, the posterity, and the future. History is always the best focal point of reference. No one is telling us how the Kadhi court came into being, where they came from, and why they were include. No one is telling us on its limits/boundaries. If we can get the original Lancaster manuscript, honestly it will help. But for now, everybody is fighting, it must/it must not. These will not get us moving. Books of authority are there, let?s use them. The culture of tolerance, to me means, I respect the feelings of all and accommodate all. I must not have my way, I should allow every body equally footing and chance. Lets listen to every body, even children. Give all an opportunity especially the future. It is not this is our thing, it must be there. NO NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

In-Reply-To: <226468.32839.qm@web38704.mail.mud.yahoo.com> References: <226468.32839.qm@web38704.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <382969.30771.qm@web57008.mail.re3.yahoo.com> Your email, Pastor, raises some important questions that i feel we should all attempt to respond to in a way. I would like to share my thoughts on the same: Have we learned any lessons yet?? yes pastor we have learnt a couple of lessons that i would gladly share with you. * Living with HIV does not mean 'you will go any time soon'. Most people are afraid of geting to know their status or are afraid to be associated with people who are living with HIV because they are afraid the people will soon die. This is not only incorrect but shows lack of information. I would recommend that we all read todays Stardard and Nation newspapers to see how people living with HIV have had long and fruitful lives. * Yes i agree we all need to protect ourselves from infection but if you are? already infected, this does not mean you life is forever destroyed. You can still live a fulfilling life, achieve your goals be they financial, career or educational. yes you can still rise to be the director of that company or the professor or the Bishop you always dreamt of being. Visit the nearest hospital for more information on management of HIV and how to positvely live with the Virus. "You will not be struggling alone" for there are millions others who are living positevely with HIV and many more millions who are concerned and willing to lend a hand to all those living with HIV. Do not suffer in silence! seek help. * Testing HIV positive is not 'for ever to late' if? i may use your words. the two stories in todays papers mentioned above clearly illustrates that. * There are no HIV carriers. You are either infected with HIV or not. You could be living with HIV and not know as long as your immune system is still strong, therefore, no symptoms would be manifest. It is therefore recommended that we all take a HIV test. Jitambue leo! * I do not know what you mean by saying we need to live a 'clean life', but one lesson we have learnt is that HIV does not discriminate. it is not an infection for people living a certain lifestyle.? What am i trying to say? Not being infected or being infected with HIV is not an indicator of an individuals morals or lack of the same. * You do not have to be a millionaire to touch the life of? an orphan or a child living with HIV. Each an everyone of us can make their lives better in a million different ways. You do not need a single shilling in your pocket to show love, to stand up to that relative who wants to exploit the orphans or to run to the chiefs or childrens officer to report cases of those orphans that are being exploited everyday as househelps, farm hands, being disinherited?etc. We all have a role to play in preventing the spread of HIV. What have you done today to protect yourself, you spouse/partner, your son/daughter, househelp, friend, staff in your company, your congreggation? ?

Today was AIDS Day! The news,stories,and the pictures moved me into tears. To see children taking care of other children because their parents were affected with the scourge, was just too painful. How I wish I was? ? ? ? a millionaire for I would have done something to help the orphans,victims of the disease. Stories of those whose lives have been destroyed by the disease, were heart breaking indeed! People have lived with the disease one day at a time but with the knowledge that they will go any time soon! Have we learned any lessons yet? Do we have all the information on AIDS and HIV? Are we careful with our life styles? I am afraid not! Some of us act as if life is normal.AIDS doesn't scare anyone any more. The only time that we cry,regret, and wish that we had done things differently, is when we test positive. By then,its for ever too late. Some of us need to slow down;No,we need to change our lifestyle for ever.Let us know for a fact that AIDS lives with us. Anyone can be a carrier. Do everything possible to live a clean life. If not,one day you will be in tears;then, you will be struggling alone. Let us pray for one another and stop playing around with the borrowed lives. Shall we?

You are doing the right thing. Just read the Bible in these areas. And please take a very big note of the first five books, that is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Those books and espeacially Leviticus spells out the Rules of engagement for the "Children of Israel" (These are the Hebrews) ? Note that I have put them children, in bold and italic. ? I did this in order to clear a confusion that seems to?arise in, as to who is who? Now the Children of Israel must not be confused with JEWS.? The Children of Israel are descendants of one Jacob son of Isaak. Jews on the other hand are descended from Ashkenaz. This is because most Jews in the present State of Israel refer to themselves as Ashkenaz Jews. Others are Shepheardin Jews who are descended from one Esau (Edom) as is revealed in the Book. And the Book also commands you never ever to add or subtract from it. ? I will leave it for you there, to dig deeper, for it is not for me to reveal to you what is written in the Holy Book. Just read for yourself and see. The truth shall set you free. On this, not even Pastor Birai or the Pope himself can shed good light to you. The book reveals it all. It will shock you. Infact you might end up discovering where the "Lost tribe of Israel" are. Over to the?Holy Book. ?

I have been reading the bible from Genesis and i am now in Leviticus. My questions: 1. After God created Adam and Eve and chased them from the garden of Eden, they had children in the names of Cain and Abel. Cain married and moved to Nod. Whom did Cain marry? did he marry his sister? how come we are not told that Adam had other children after Cain and Abel before Cain married? it was after Cain married that Seth was born to Adam and Eve. So, whom did this Cain marry? Adam and Eve were the only human beings on earth before Cain and abel. 2. The bible zeroes in on Israel from the beginning. When you check the names being mentioned in the bible like Noah, Cain, Abel, Seth, etc they are all Jewish names. Are we wrong if we say Genesis talks about creation in reference to the Jews? 3. Exodus talks about the movement of the Jews from Egypt to the promised land. Leviticus talks about the way of life of the Jews ie the DOs and the DON'Ts. Where do we come in here? If you follow Exodus properly, you hear God talk of my people. I was even shocked when i came accross a verse where Moses is trying to advise God.

Frankly this is they way forward. I know this because i remember once when i was in school, we had forums and clubs to discuss issues about dating, relationships sex and many others face to face in an open mind. We shared our opinions and even had guest speakers to help us in matters pertaining to the heart. We went as broad as talking about inter sexuality, homosexuality, like everything. It was fun, empowering, inspiring and educative. All that was accompanied by religious teachings. Do you know how the influence you gain from your family affects your dating habits...i mean that whole shabang'? We need a club like this and I'm for it. If you are going to join,please come in with an open mind and NOT a know-it-all attitude. There is so much to learn apart from coming to meet a potential Miss or Mister.

Yes,we'll try to share with you that which we learned but the right source is Jesus Christ. In the book of James 1:5,the Bible reads,"f any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. So as you continue with your search,you will need 2 things: Spend more time praying for wisdom and understanding and have faith in the living God. Please note the following: 1.Can we understand everything in the Bible? Deuteronomy 29:29 tells us that there are secrets that belongs to God alone. Like you,I struggled for many years to read the Bible. Even after many years,there are certain things that I still don't understand. 2.Before searching for outside help,just keep on reading while jotting down some questions. As you do that,some questions will be answered along the way.So continue with the primary source. If all of us start giving you some interpretations, its possible that we will confuse you and in the process you will be discouraged. 3.If possible,go through the entire Bible twice. My prayers are with you. I will check with you from time to time;may be outside the forum to avoid annoying others. Blessings.

Very well explained and to the point. _____ From: Gichuru [mailto:johngichuru2004 at gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 11:49 AM To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [YP_Ke] Mpesa Dukas with no floats! -Business opportunity awaits u Tigress, Sorry about your predicament. "Float" is the virtual funds that are loaded into the mpesa phone (or simply the balance in the phone). At the start of the business, say for example you invest 100k, the whole or part of this will be loaded into your phone and it will be your starting capital. So at the start, you will have say 50k as virtual (what they call float) funds, and 50k as cash in the cash box (physical cash). If a customer comes to deposit money, he will give you 10k to deposit for him. That means, you will take his 10k cash, and transfer your virtual 10k from your mpesa phone to his phone. That means you will have 40k as float, and 60k as cash in the box (to total the initial capital of 100k). If 4 other customers come and deposit 10k each, that will mean you will transfer the balance of 40k you had in your phone to the 4 customers and you will have 0 balance in the phone. At this point, you do not have the virtual funds (balance in the phone) since you have transferred all of it to the 5 customers, but you have 100k as cash in the box. This is when you say you do not have "float". On the other hand, if the reverse happens and the 5 customers above came and withdrew, instead of depositing, it will mean you will have 100k as float in the phone and zero in the cash box. At this point, you say you do not have cash but have "float" (of 100k) This problem of not having float normally happens at the end of the month when everyone is liquid and so most of the people will be depositing, rather than withdrawing, thus exhausting the money in the mpesa agent's phone. I hope this explanation helps. On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 10:44 AM, Tigeress wrote: Hi people, I have been to so many Mpesa dukas with no "floats"..

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him, and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sunshine through it.. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own... The boy is naturally terrified.. He can hear all kinds of noises Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm. We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him. If you liked this story, pass it on.. If not, you took off your blindfold before dawn. Moral of the story: Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there.. 'For we walk by faith, not by sight.'

Message-ID: <264666.996.qm@web38701.mail.mud.yahoo.com> I do not and can not claim to know a lot of things in this world. That said,daily interactions with others over the years has made me to make certain conclusions which obviously are debatable. Here is what I claim to know: 1. Partiality or showing favoritism will always be with us. It seems to me that some of us tend to see/view/judge/evaluate others based on not so much on what they are capable of doing, but rather on whether they are family members/relatives,friends, or of my tribe/clan/race. 2.Those things that we flatly condemn as deserving severe punishment when done by those we don't like, some of us go gentle and call for patience/understanding/forgiveness when they touch those that we love. 3.Many of us don't care of helping others until tragedy hits us hard.Then we realize that we need others in our lives. 4.Some of us don't seem to realize the importance of others until we are forced to seek for their help. 5.Those who have taught themselves the proper sequence of priorities-God,family, and others-seem to enjoy life.If you mix those up,you have yourself to blame. 6.The things that my father taught me have stood the test;he taught me to respect others and watch lest others pull me back. 7.I read it in the Gospels;I saw my mum practice it;I took the challenge and have never regretted.What was it? Moved by compassion to assist others.Those who go an extra mile to help others have never been disappointed. If anything,God always pays back at the fullness of time. 8.If the Lord came down today and asked me to ask but one thing, I know what that thing will be? "To be humble like Moses,John, the baptist and the Lord Jesus Himself!" So,help me dear Lord! Blessings. Pr Birai 612-386-4608 www.pastorbirai.com -- FINALLY!!

Hi Ekambi Perhaps this article by the Ahmed Isaack Hassan a fomer commissioner with the defunct CKRC and current chairman of the Interim Independent Electoral Commission will give an insight on why the Kadhis courts should be ingrained in the constitution. By the way Muslims are not opposed to any attempt by Christian or other faiths also having what they consider as their laws in the constitution. Thanks Abu Ayman THE KADHI'S COURTS - Setting the Records straight (By Ahmed Issack Hassan, Commissioner, CKRC) Introduction: The new Draft Constitution published by the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission in October 2002 has generated a lot of debate and discussion as was expected and required under the Law. Among the many Provisions of the Draft Bill that came under scrutiny and analysis was the one dealing with the Kadhis Courts judging by the copious amount of correspondence and arguments for and against that have appeared in the press. This article aims at informing the on-going debate by setting out some of the basic facts about the Kadhis Courts that appear to have been ignored in the debate and analysis. It is important to approach every issue calmly and objectively and not subjectively, emotionally and with a pre-conceived idea/mind. But much more importantly, it is crucial to get all the facts correct about any issue before jumping to conclusion. It is only then that one can make an informed decision. An objective and honest discussion about the Kadhis Courts must consider their history and present status, the Commission's mandate and what the people said before coming to the stage of analysing the present draft constitution. Historically, Kadhis Courts existed in the East Coast of Africa long before colonization. In Kenya, they existed in the Coast, which at the time of colonization, was under the Sultan of Zanzibar. In 1895, the Sultan gave the British power to administer the 10 mile coastal strip subject to their respecting the existing Kadhis Courts among other conditions. The British did so and declared a protectorate over the coast while the rest of Kenya was a colony proper. The Sultan however retained sovereignty over the 10 mile coastal strip. During the last years of the independence struggle and at the start of the Lancaster House Constitutional talks in 1961, the status and fate of the coastal strip came up for determination. The British organised separate talks for the delegates from the protectorate of the coast and those from the Kenya Colony. The British Government and Sultan of Zanzibar also appointed a Commissioner, Mr. James R. Robertson, to study the issue of the coastal strip, consult all those concerned and report to them. In his report, entitled, "The Kenya Coastal Strip ? Report by the Commissioner", he reported that opinion was divided as to whether the coastal strip should join Kenya, or be declared independent on its own, or reverted back to the Sultan of Zanzibar. He however recommended that it should be joined with Kenya subject to the Kenya Government guaranteeing to respect the existence of the Kadhis Courts among other conditions. The Prime Minister of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta and the Prime Minister of Zanzibar, Mr. Shamte on behalf of the Sultan of Zanzibar, then signed an agreement in October, 1963, in the form of an exchange of letters whereby the Sultan of Zanzibar relinquished/surrendered his claim of sovereignty over the coast to Kenya in return for mzee Kenyatta guaranteeing the continued existence of the Kadhis Courts among other guarantees. When the independence constitution was written, the Kadhis Courts were enshrined under the chapter on Judiciary. ? At Independence, the Kenya Government expressed its sovereign desire not to be bound automatically by all the pre-independence treaties and agreements entered into by the colonial Government. By his note reference EXT. 237/003A of 25th March, 1964, addressed to the Secretary General of the United Nations, mzee Jomo Kenyatta informed the United Nations of the Kenya Government's intention to review all pre-independence treaties and agreements and determine which agreements will be honoured by the Government and those which will be abrogated or modified after appropriate notice to the interested parties. It is important to note that the 1963 agreement between the Kenya Government and the Sultan of Zanzibar concerning the Kenya Coastal Strip and the preservation of the Kadhis Courts was among those agreements that were immediately honoured by the newly independent Kenya Government. This is proved by the fact that the independence constitution of 1963 enshrined the Kadhis Courts under Chapter 5 in the Judiciary and thereafter Parliament passed the Kadhis Courts Act, the Mohammedan Marriage and Divorce Registration Act and the Mohammedan Marriage, Divorce and Succession Act to make these courts fully operational and functioning. At independence, the Kadhis Court were 3. In 1967, the Kadhis Courts Act was passed which increased the courts to 6. They have subsequently been increased and today they are more than a dozen spread over the country. The Kadhis Courts were entrenched in the constitution as a measure of safeguarding the integrity of the agreement reached on them. If the courts were established under Ordinary Law by an Act of Parliament alone, then it would have made them vulnerable since any decision to abolish them would have required a simple majority of the members of parliament to repeal the Act. Under the present standing orders of Parliament which sets the quorum of the house at 30, it means that only sixteen (16) Members of Parliament could do so. In contrast, to abolish the courts as enshrined in the constitution would require a two-thirds (2/3) majority in Parliament. As a minority therefore the Muslims in Kenya find great relief and solace in the entrenchment of the Kadhis Courts in the Constitution. Section 66 of the current constitution provides for the Chief Kadhi and Kadhi's Courts and states their powers as being to decide on issues of Muslim personal law between Muslims i.e marriage, divorce and inheritance. The Commission's mandate under the Law is to collect, collate and analyse the views of Kenyans on changes to be made to the constitution and to recommend amendments or other changes thereto which faithfully reflects the views and wishes of Kenyans. The commission was to study the judiciary, among other institutions, and seek people's views on how the judiciary could be improved. The Kadhis Courts are part of the judiciary and the legal systems. When the commission issued "issues and questions" for public hearing to guide the people in the collection of the views, the same contained questions on what was to be done to the Chief Kadhi and Kadhis Courts. Many of the people, organizations and experts who gave views on the Kadhis courts did not at all question their existence but advocated for their retention with some improvements or ? modifications. The Muslims generally asked for the enhancement of the role and status of the courts while in some cases like in N.E. Province, they asked for the full application of Sharia Law in their areas. The team of judicial experts and eminent scholars from the Commonwealth in their report on the judiciary also recommended the retention of the Kadhis Courts in their present form. A group of Human Rights and Legal Organisations such as KHRC, LSK, ICJ, FIDA, etc, also prepared a model constitution under the motto, "Kenya Tuitakayo" (the Kenya we want) and in that model constitution, they also recommended for the retention of the Kadhis Court with their present jurisdiction and for the Chief Kadhi to have minimum academic qualification and to enjoy the same status and privileges as a High Court Judge. In recommending improvements to the Kadhis Courts, the commission was faithfully reflecting an analysis of the views it received. It is therefore wrong to suggest that CKRC is favouring Muslims or creating parallel court structure or introducing Sharia Law through the back door. The commission did not receive any views for the creation of courts for Jews, Hindus or others. Sharia Law is not being introduced as the jurisdiction of the Kadhis Courts are clearly confined to matters of personal Law between Muslims. There will be no stoning to death for adultery or cutting of hands even for the Muslims in Kenya as this is covered by Islamic Criminal Law which is not permitted here in Kenya either in the present constitution or under the new draft bill. The Kadhis Courts do not exist in Kenya alone. Several countries in Africa and the Commonwealth that have a significant population of Muslims provide for these courts in their constitutions and Laws to cater for the regulation of the personal status of their Muslim Citizens. Save for those countries that have established Islamic states which apply Islamic Law throughout the country, other states tend to limit the jurisdiction of these Courts to matters affecting the personal status of the Muslims. In some cases, the jurisdiction is exclusive to the Kadhis Courts while in others the Courts are established as subordinate Courts to the Secular High Courts or Supreme Court. The Kadhis Courts are also called Qadhis Courts (Uganda), Cadi Court (Gambia), Sharia Court (Nigeria), Shariat Court (Pakistan) and Religious Court (Jordan). The Nigeria constitution provides for the establishment of the Kadi and Sharia Courts in the states and in the Federation. The Sharia Court of Appeal is to compose of the Grand Kadi and such number of Kadis as may be prescribed by Law. The jurisdiction of the Sharia Courts is listed under Sections 262 and 277 of the Constitution. The qualification for appointment to the office of Grand Kadi or Kadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal is set out by Sections 261 and 266 of the Constitution. Sections 264 and 279 give the grand Kadi, who is equivalent to the Chief Kadhi in Kenya, the Power to make rules for regulating the Practice and Procedure of the Sharia Court.? The major difference between the Kadhis Courts in Nigeria and Kenya is that the former apply full Islamic Sharia law while in Kenya, the jurisdiction is limited to personal law i.e marriage, divorce and inheritance which is the case in Gambia and Uganda.? ? The Gambian Constitution under Section 137, establishes the Cadi Court to be constituted by the Cadi and two other Scholars qualified to be a Cadi or Ulama. Appeals from this Court goes to a review Court composed of the Cadi and four ulamas (Islamic Scholars). The Cadi Court has jurisdiction to apply Islamic Sharia in matters of marriage, divorce and inheritance where the parties before the Court are Muslims.? The qualification for appointment to the position of Cadi requires a person of high moral standing and professional qualification in Sharia Law. The Ugandan Constitution establishes the Qadhis Courts under Section 129 as one of the subordinate Courts of judicature exercising judicial power in Uganda to deal with matters of marriage, divorce, inheritance of property and guardianship. The argument that the Provisions in the Draft Constitution treat other religions less favourably is clearly without merit. Article 44 of the Draft Bill is a basket clause containing several sections guaranteeing and protecting the freedom of religion for all. The Kadhis Courts, which fall under the Chapter on the Judiciary, could not have been brought under the ambit of article 44 which comes under the Chapter on Human Rights. The Kadhis Courts should be seen in the context of the judiciary and the legal system and not as a religious or Muslim issue alone. Those opposing the Kadhis Courts and making allegation of bias for Muslims are politicising the issue and creating unnecessary tension and disharmony between the Muslims and their Kenyan brothers and sisters. By whipping up emotions of other people who may not have all the facts before them, these people are undermining the goals of the constitutional review process which is inter alia to unite the country and to respect and promote the ethnic and religious diversity of the people of Kenya. It is the hope of all those who wish to see the continuation of the peace and harmony that exists between the different religious communities in Kenya that men and women of goodwill in Kenya will see through the propaganda war being waged against the Kadhis Courts and support the recommendations of CKRC which is a faithful reflection and analysis of the views received from the people. ? ________________________________ From: "jekambi at daystar.ac.ke" To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Sent: Wed, December 2, 2009 7:40:40 AM Subject: Re:Re: [YP_Ke] FW: ISLAMIC AGENDA IN THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION. The whole constitution gives rights to all faith, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Traditionists, etc X100, to freely worship in whichever way. All but one has its rights stipulated in the unifying constitution, WHY? Each of these groupings have own constitutions that help them run their affairs, only should they conflict with the unifying constitution, then troubles begin. No one is saying no to Khadhi courts being in some constitution, all we are skeptical about is why in the main one. The reasoning that the other religions have not asked, in not intellectual and wise. These other religions have their holy books and own written something. But they too have a right to fight for their right. But what is ones right? Let?s be reasonable and sober in this matter. The constitution is not about us, it is about a Kenyan people, the posterity, and the future. History is always the best focal point of reference. No one is telling us how the Kadhi court came into being, where they came from, and why they were include. No one is telling us on its limits/boundaries. If we can get the original Lancaster manuscript, honestly it will help. But for now, everybody is fighting, it must/it must not. These will not get us moving. Books of authority are there, let?s use them. The culture of tolerance, to me means, I respect the feelings of all and accommodate all. I must not have my way, I should allow every body equally footing and chance. Lets listen to every body, even children. Give all an opportunity especially the future. It is not this is our thing, it must be there. NO NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

If you underinsure, many insurance companies have clauses and fine prints that may allow them to repuidate the claim in case of an accident. Also in the best case scenario, they only pay on a pro-rata basis and even ask you to top-up the premiums. So finally the claim that you get would be substantially lower. While getting insurance, also look at the excess & exclusions clauses. If you know a good insurance agent, he would be able to guide you better. Bottomline, I'd strongly advice you NOT to underinsure and obtain an AA valuation and present it to the insurance co., to avoid problems in the future. Hope that was helpful.

We were to move from point A to point B, but due to vehicle constraints & we were many we had to share the available vehicles. So the french wanted to ask whether there is a space in our vehicle for him to get a ride, and i guess from french to english that came to "Do you have a room in your vehicle?" And the Englishman was slow to understand what he meant so he retorted. "A room in my car?*!"

Luckily I speak French and I know it is a direct translation from French, and that they do not mean to be rude. This is similar to that incident with that contenstant from Rwanda in TPF3, who after getting a piece of Ian's mind replied, "it doesnt matter". He was not meaning to be rude, he only translated a French expression directly to English. So Peterson should relax and actually go ahead and contact Mbila for the assistance.

URL: From migoriclan at yahoo.com Thu Dec 3 00:11:29 2009 From: migoriclan at yahoo.com (Migori Clan) Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2009 21:11:29 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] Gang attacks in Nyanza - PEV repay? In-Reply-To: <519832.58435.qm@web23205.mail.ird.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <303657.1116.qm@web52203.mail.re2.yahoo.com> The issue of gang attacks in Migori is?serious. Many stories have come up including the possibility of the gang having been hired to deal with those who destroyed property of those who fled from Migori during the post election violence. Others now claim it is part of a dreaded vigilante imported into the area but appears to be operating from Kuria District. ? It is significant that a number of those who fled from Migori live in Kuria, particularly Isebania from where slowly they have been returning?to reconstruct and do business in the town. ? Real re-integration has not taken place and we at Migori Clan have been involved with peace and reconciliation initiatives that are now seriously threatened. ? The members of the gang hack people to death and are reportedly not interested in stealing or robbing people of their property , or even any offers of money from the victims. This is waorrying and lends credence to claims that someody or people have paid them enough money and what they are interested in is pure revenge. ? But on November 25, residents of Migori town came out in large numbers and started confronting those they thought were complete strangers to find out what they were up to. Two such strangers were found and before a chief could interrogate them or?hand them over to the police,?the enraged mob set on the pair with all manner of weapons including stones and lynched them. ? On Friday November 26, the market was disrupted and those who had fled from Migori during the post election violence and have been operating from Kuria could not dare come to the market. The situation eased somewhat on?Monday but there is still alot of tension and the local people have vowed to deal with the thugs. ? Matters have not been helped by the fact that two days later a taxi driver was shot dead and his passengers?attacked with pangas on his way from Kuria District some kilometres outside Migori Town. ? People remain on high alert and?etnic relations have been poisoned again. Residents of Masaba Division in Kuria which neighbours Migori and where the taxi driver was killed came out and demonstrated demanding the?transfer of the local administrators and the police for not doing enough to stem the rising insecurity. ? Migori residents claim the police have failed to respond to alerts from citizens when the gang attacks. One suspected gang member?was at the weekend killed in Wuoth ogik,?in the outskirts of?Migori town when he was allegedly?identified by those?they had attacked earlier. ? The?gang is?said to be armed with guns and other weapons and there are claims that they have a list of people they plan to attack.?Some people claim the gang may be hired from Kuria or Tanzania while others think they may have travelled all the way from nairobi and its environs. ? There are reports that the police have made arrests but this is something we will need to check with them to find out the truth. ? Many rumours.... alot of fear .. ? If we have anything, we shall update Kenyans. --- On Mon, 11/30/09, Lawrence Agunda wrote: From: Lawrence Agunda Subject: Re: [YP_Ke] Gang attacks in Nyanza - PEV repay?

He was blind folded and when later allowed to see, he was shown dead bodies some of them with fresh blood meaning they had just been killed. The Mzee narrated the story to a crowed attending a burial to his son in law and still appeared horrified as that happened to him on his way to the burial. ? The most scaring bit of it is that the thugs knew him and told him stories of where he use to work and the estate he lived in while in Nairobi working. ? ? Lawrence. ? ? ?

I wish to congratulate you for a job well done. The Draft is quite easy to understand and very informative.I quite like the Legislature, Executive, Integrity/Ethics and Bill of Rights and the other sections, actually.The document is clear and reader-friendly. I hope the document will not be unduly politicized. Politicians appear to be so interested in Executive part and only seeing it in the light of the current office holders and individual, party, ethnic and other interests. Specific Comments are on *Citizenship*. 1. I would like to propose *Multiple Citizenship* as opposed to *Dual Citizenship*. For example, *A child born of a Kenyan Father studying abroad - North America - who then moves to UK with parents (for work or so) and lives there for 7 years, acquires British Residency and Citizenship (Dual) and then dad moves back to Kenya before acquiring Citizenship/Residency. Does this child - 10 - 12 years old acquire Kenyan Citizenship if he/she so desires? (Multiple Citizenship?)* 2. *What happens to a Public Official with Dual or Multiple Citizenship who has misappropriated public funds or is involved in other corrupt/illicit dealings, and runs away to one or two of the countries they belong to legally? How about their spouses, children and relatives? *How can this Constitution protect us from such issues? -- Ben O. Osuga Independent Development Consultant, P.O.Box 11855 - 00100, GPO Nairobi, Kenya.

Message-ID: <404309.3302.qm@web38708.mail.mud.yahoo.com> There are some things that don't make sense to others and yet they mean so much to others;things such as the way family members/friends/colleagues and others call you. While some people don't mind how others call them,others take offense. If you have noticed,different cultures treat this issue differently. That a side,there are others who plan on humiliating others by the way they call them. Come with me as we explore this issue: -There are those who go by their nick names. To such,the only thing that will make them happy is to call them by the nick name they like. -When it comes to women,it goes different ways. Like which ones? By the husband's name;by their father's name;by their children name;by their maiden name or by their professional/academic titles. -Those in authority,certain professions,or who have worked hard and earned PHD,need to be addressed as DON, Charge Nurse,Head Coach,Superintendent, Dr,Professor,Pastor,Engineer,Teacher,Mayor,Ambassador, and such like. -While there are those who prefer to go by their first names,others prefer their last names. -Some parents don't mind their children calling them by their names. Others,take offense. I guess it comes down to knowing ones culture and preference. Does it really matter? You bet! Some people really care about this issue? It might help to let others know how you want them to call you. As for me,I will like my children to call me dad and all others to call me pastor Birai. What do you want to be called?

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they Were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim Out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged; since you were able to respond rationally to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays that you have a sound mind. The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead." Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?" PASS IT AROUND AND MAKE SOMEONE LAUGH!

If Muslims think it's? a must for their religious court to be enshrined in the constitution then why don't we also do the same to Christian mediation and conflict resolution or even the doctrine of salvation?Christians believe that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ.Q.Why can't we put this in the constitution? A. Because ours is secular government that does not regulate religion or compel anyone to approach God in any particular way. Nor does it regulate morality.That is the province of religion. Kadhi Courts shouldn't be part of the constitution.PERIOD! ________________________________ From: alex ndung'u To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Sent: Wed, December 2, 2009 11:15:51 PM Subject: Re: Re: [YP_Ke] FW: ISLAMIC AGENDA IN THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION. Hi Abu, Its good you are raising different issues. I also do like your point that we need to have a culture of tolerance. However, you also must understand that people have different views since it has been seen that Muslims are among the most intolerant of other religions once they are a majority. When they are a minority, they will speak about rights, but when they are a majority, they are very intolerant. In Kenya, especially in North Eastern, people have been stoned and some almost killed because of preaching. I have a friend who survived death by a whisker just this century after he was slashed several times because of being an evangelist. I also do work in Somalia once in while and I can tell you things are not rosy even there, all in the name of Islam. Since people have come to know that Muslims are very intolerant, especially when they are the majority, it is no wonder they are skeptical. I think many are not fighting Islam per se, what they are concerned about is the contradiction in saying Kenya is a secular state , then on the same platform, giving one religion special recognition. CAN the Kadhi courts be there without being in the constitution? Since they deal with Muslims only, why should they have special status. I think Muslims should be free to manage their courts by even paying for their maintainance, without forcing their views down the throats of others. What is wrong with the courts being there but not being in the constitution? I every aspect of every religion was to be included in the constitution, then we will never have a coonstitution. Is there a possibility that so far people have included them in the drafts out of fear and politics? I am open to your views. ----- Original Message ---- From: john kamau To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Sent: Thu, December 3, 2009 5:08:07 AM Subject: Re:Re: [YP_Ke] FW: ISLAMIC AGENDA IN THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION.

Volunteers have delayed opening China's first government-backed gay bar following intense media attention, an NGO said Wednesday, highlighting the still taboo nature of homosexuality in the country. "They were scared their identity would be revealed, that it would lead to misunderstanding and changes in their lives," said Zhang Jianbo, founder of the Dali HIV/AIDS prevention and health association, the NGO behind the initiative. The bar in Dali, a tourist town in the southwestern province of Yunnan, aimed to provide a place where homosexuals could meet in a relaxed atmosphere and get information about HIV/AIDS prevention, he told AFP by phone. China's health ministry warned on Tuesday that homosexual transmission of HIV/AIDS was gaining pace. Zhang, a doctor at a hospital in Dali, said raising awareness of the disease among the gay community was "extremely important." The bar was due to open on December 1 -- World AIDS Day -- with the support of the local government, which had invested 120,000 yuan (17,600 dollars) in the NGO, he said. "Our government leader asked me whether we could open it today, but I said the volunteers did not want to," Zhang said, pointing out that journalists and photographers had descended en masse on Dali following news of the bar's opening. "If we open a place for an underground group, and if news is published about our target group and our volunteers in this way, it will influence their lives," he said. "The volunteers (also gay) themselves called a democratic meeting and decided to delay the opening, and when they think the issue has moved on, then they will open it and continue their work." Homosexuality in China -- where it was officially considered a mental illness until 2001 -- is still an extremely sensitive issue. Gay men and women in China find it difficult to come out to their friends and family. One of the reasons lies in the nation's one-child policy, which makes parents rely on their only child to marry and have grandchildren. The official China Daily newspaper said in 2005 that the number of homosexuals in China came to around 30 million, although it conceded few were willing to acknowledge their sexuality. Statements from government departments and academic reports have put the figure at approximately 15 million, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. Copyright ? 2009 AFP.

In-Reply-To: <875347.19381.qm@web62001.mail.re1.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <532724.96654.qm@web33301.mail.mud.yahoo.com> ....from my understanding Ms Ramah Salim ,religion is a natural phenomena through which people believe.Jesus Christ teachings put emphasis in not only hearing what he says or God says but putting into application what He/God says, then we become[Christians].Its not limited to just hearing and saying but application of what God says ,so we can not define Christianity as a religion in the words of Christ Jesus.He talked of the good religion with example giving to those in need and taking care of the widows.So its more on the lifestyle for a real practizing Christian than the law.The context of everything is in the word of GOD for a practizing christian.I think Kadhis court?or no Kadhis court practising christians should not be affected by either. ? Unpractising christians are limited in knowledge and insight of God's word/Christ teachings.Its difficult if one?does not have spiritual sight, then even is environment becomes is enemy.The environment of the Kadhi's court should not intimidate me if i am a really practizing Christian.Jesus Christ taught in parables i quote his words:"Though seeing,they do not see;though hearing they do not hear,they do not hear or understand.But blessed are your eyes because they see,and your ears because they hear.For i tell you the truth,many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it,and hear what you hear but did not hear it" he kept talking in parables...So let practising Christians fix their eyes on Jesus Christ as a standard of life and there is no short cut on this.Just like we can not stop certain? groups to exist but we should not endorse their existence as practising Christians.Be it far from us if we do so. ? We can not fight to be significant less we loose our focus.Practizing Christians divine significance is drawn from God not from fighting the Kadhi's court.This as always been there, just like pharaoh the king in Egypt during the time of Joseph and just like the time of? Daniel in Babylon when King Nebuchadnezzar was ruling.So king sultan or no king sultan ,Christianity can not embrace escapism mentality but blessed are those practizing christians that draw from heaven but leave on earth and are displaying the kingdom lifestyle and leave to please God and follow Christ Jesus teaching and recognises the season of grace.The truth be told, the kadhi's court will not and shall never infringe on the practizing?christian/s right/s.

And being worldviews they all are ways of life. Hence, there is no religion that is not subsequently a way of life. Personally, I have never come across a religion that only places academic demands on its followers; they all have codes of conduct governing and directing the way their faith is actualised in the daily lives of their adherents.

URL: From youngprofessionals.ke at gmail.com Fri Dec 4 02:39:56 2009 From: youngprofessionals.ke at gmail.com (Moderator YP_Ke) Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 23:39:56 -0800 Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] Updates of Yesterday's LYP Meeting Message-ID: <82dec6650912032339k22a392n7f1c994d71807fbc@mail.gmail.com> Hi Esteemed Members, Here is a brief report of our LYP meeting yesterday with Hon. Martha Karua as our Guest Speaker. The meeting started at 6:20pm and was adjourned at 9:00pm; though members continue to network over a cup of coffee thereafter till 10:00pm Our end of year meeting turned to be one of the best congregations of YPs this year, coupled with a very informative and brilliant presentation by Hon Martha Karua. She took us through 5 areas of contention that she feels us as young professionals should re-look at, make further discussions and make submission to COE. The areas are *The executive* She first took us through various systems of government & how they work, the parliamentary system like one in US, presidential like one in US, and a hybrid like the French System. The current one that is proposed and the one we are running now close to hybrid system. With the current one being proposed as a reaction to reduce or check presidential powers, she requested us to look further which is the best way to introduce that. It is through transferring some of the powers to the office of the Prime Minister which could result to two parallel centers of power or is it by having a very powerful parliament like in the USA where the president cannot make any major changes or policy without the approval of the congress? Currently since we are having both offices, are you content with the way they are operating? With powers being transferred to the office of PM who is elected by MPs & not universal suffrage, and knowing how easy it is for members of parliament to be manipulated through seduction, bribery or promises (she quipped the current parliament is the most corrupt of the 4 parliament she has been), unless changed, we might having moneyed people determine who runs the government. She requested us to go to the internet and research more on how various governments around the world work. *The Legislature* The proposed parliament will have 2 houses, the Senate & the National assembly. Though good, she noted the size of the senate is yet not known since the numbers of counties are not known (Since the boundaries commission has not finished it work) She said though the article is the Right to recall is widely supported, she isn?t happy with it in its current form, as should be made more stringent to avoid witch hunt by those who loose to make it to parliament. Two weeks after you have been elected to parliament and working hard, your opponents may already be collecting signatures to recall you. It should be made more stringent so that cases of recall can only be launched once there are substantial bases to do that. *Devolution.* * * With devolved government, we shall have 3 governments, the Parliament, the Regional governments the county governments. We are already complaining of bloated cabinet, do we have the resources to support all of the three levels of governments? & with the number of counties still unknown, we might end up with a bloated government which we might not sustain with the available resources. She requested us to do the mathematics to see the number the number of elected officers we shall have the average resources we will need in terms of salaries 7 other expenditures *Judicial System.* On the Kadhi court she requested us Christian to be tolerant. She was amazed that Kadhi court was one on the most hotly discussed topic in YP. She said since Kadhi courts have there in the constitution & never had any problem, why do we want to remove them. And how do you think our brother Muslim interpret or react to that. She however noted that if they remain as proposed in the draft constitution then the wording should be the same as the in the old constitution. She said the wording in the draft is different and we should reread & look at the finer details to avoid problems. Here she said we can make improvements to ensure we have a more independent system. For example, with the judges being appointed/recommended by Judicial Service Commission composed of the members of the judicial system itself who may be appointed cronies of the power be, we should be have an external body, say an inspectorate composed as of for example the members of LSK, academia etc to have a say in appointment of judges to ensure integrity of the system. * * Before she ended she reminded us the following. A constitution however good will not be the only solution to take us forward. We also need to change our ethics, change our leaders, and end impunity even at the lowest level etc. She says even the current constitution could have taken us places only if the rule of law is observed. Do you know it says someone who alleged to have committed economic crime should not be appointed to cabinet? While 1/3 of the current cabinet have such cases?! Even we have a new constitution without a change of leaders who will respect it, we might not move forward. We need a new crop of leaders, a paradigm shift. Did you know Britain doesn?t have a *written constitution*, yet it is one of the best run countries in the world? She also requested us to use the vitality, creativity, innovativeness, the boldness and the risk-taking attitude/appetite of the youth to initiate initiatives to move the country forward. She said the older people are more conservative and therefore can not make drastic and tremendous changes or shift that is so critical for us revolution. So the challenge is left to us the young people. Are we equal to the task, up to the challenge? -- Regards YP_Ke Group Moderator -- FINALLY!!

That said,daily interactions with others over the years has made me to make certain conclusions which obviously are debatable. Here is what I claim to know: 1. Partiality or showing favoritism will always be with us. It seems to me that some of us tend to see/view/judge/evaluate others based on not so much on what they are capable of doing, but rather on whether they are family members/relatives,friends, or of my tribe/clan/race. 2.Those things that we flatly condemn as deserving severe punishment when done by those we don't like, some of us go gentle and call for patience/understanding/forgiveness when they touch those that we love. 3.Many of us don't care of helping others until tragedy hits us hard.Then we realize that we need others in our lives. 4.Some of us don't seem to realize the importance of others until we are forced to seek for their help. 5.Those who have taught themselves the proper sequence of priorities-God,family, and others-seem to enjoy life.If you mix those up,you have yourself to blame. 6.The things that my father taught me have stood the test;he taught me to respect others and watch lest others pull me back. 7.I read it in the Gospels;I saw my mum practice it;I took the challenge and have never regretted.What was it? Moved by compassion to assist others.Those who go an extra mile to help others have never been disappointed. If anything,God always pays back at the fullness of time. 8.If the Lord came down today and asked me to ask but one thing, I know what that thing will be? "To be humble like Moses,John, the baptist and the Lord Jesus Himself!" So,help me dear Lord! Blessings. Pr Birai 612-386-4608 www.pastorbirai.com -- FINALLY!!

They were taking a lunch break when a boy came upon them and heard their conversation. One was bemoaning a watch he had lost at some point in the morning's work. Though he'd looked for it for a couple of hours, he hadn't been able to find it. "Would you mind if I went into the ice house and looked?" the boy asked. "Yeah, sure," the men laughed, certain he would never find anything in a dark room with no electricity. Within 30 seconds, the boy emerged holding the watch in his hand. The carpenters couldn't believe it! "How did you find it?" "It was simple," the boy said. "I just stopped in the middle of the room, stood still and listened for ticking." Many of us (especially men) are accused of not listening very well. They rarely stop and take time to focus our attention-to really hear-what their spouse is trying to tell them. Most often they quickly say things like, "You shouldn't feel that way. You're blowing this all out of proportion." Those are statements that come from not really seeking to listen and understand where someone is coming from. During serious conversations or conflicts, you need to stop and listen, ask questions or paraphrase what the other part is saying in order to understand what they really mean. Asking a good question can often be like an emotional crowbar to dislodge how somebody really feels. Listening is another way of saying, "You're important to me" The person who says, "You're not listening to me," is usually right. How often are these words spoken to us? What is one habit we can change to become better listeners? Thank God for always being there to listen to us, no matter how illogical or reactionary we may sometimes be. Let us ask for His counsel in how to be more like Him. Let us pray that we will be better listeners. Have a blessed weekend!

Am smiling. From: Kelvin [mailto:kjayanoris at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 3:39 PM To: youngprofessionals_ke Subject: [YP_Ke] Watch the money "How much life insurance do you have?" Zig Ziglar liked to say that with that one question, you could tell if someone was a successful life insurance agent. If they're not willing to buy it with their own money, how can they honestly persuade someone else to do so? If you're in the music business but you never buy tickets or downloads, can you really empathize with the people you're selling to? My favorite: if you work for a non-profit and you don't give money to charity, what exactly are you doing in this job? I've met some incredibly generous people in the charitable world, but I can also report that a huge number of people-even on the fundraising side-would happily cross the street and risk a beating in order to avoid giving $100 to a cause that's not their own. And the shame of it is that this inaction on their part keeps them from experiencing the very emotion that they try so hard to sell. Money is more than a transfer of value. It's a statement of belief. An ad agency that won't buy ads, a consultant who won't buy consulting, and a waiter who doesn't tip big-it's a sign, and not a good one.

Through the films?they hope to highlight just how rewarding,educational and most importantly possible it is to go traveling with the kids. Our hope is that the programmes will inspire more parents thinking about this kind of trip to actually take the plunge and get involved around the world. We also want to highlight the positives of this kind of experience has on a family unit and the educational benefit for children. Each family would be left with a unique travel-log of their journey.. The families that we are following are?going to Kenya,Uganda,Ethiopia,Rwanda and Zambia.? Our hope is that the families will be able to find some local life and immerse within the local community, staying mostly clear of tourist areas,while doing volunteer work. The families?are very keen for them to experience local life away from Western society. Please help me identify good hosts and projects to participate in the program.

Here is a brief report of our LYP meeting yesterday with Hon. Martha Karua as our Guest Speaker. The meeting started at 6:20pm and was adjourned at 9:00pm; though members continue to network over a cup of coffee thereafter till 10:00pm ? Our end of year meeting turned to be one of the best congregations of YPs this year, coupled with a very informative and brilliant presentation by Hon Martha Karua. She took us through 5 areas of contention that she feels us as young professionals should re-look at, make further discussions and make submission to COE. ? The areas are ? The executive She first took us through various systems of government & how they work, the parliamentary system like one in US, presidential like one in US, and a hybrid like the French System. The current one that is proposed and the one we are running now close to hybrid system. ? With the current one being proposed as a reaction to reduce or check presidential powers, she requested us to look further which is the best way to introduce that. It is through transferring some of the powers to the office of the Prime Minister which could result to two parallel centers of power or is it by having a very powerful parliament like in the USA where the president cannot make any major changes or policy without the approval of the congress?? Currently since we are having both offices, are you content with the way they are operating? ? With powers being transferred to the office of PM who is elected by MPs & not universal suffrage, and knowing how easy it is for members of parliament to be manipulated through seduction, bribery or promises (she quipped the current parliament is the most corrupt of the 4 parliament she has been), unless changed, we might having moneyed people determine who runs the government. ? She requested us to go to the internet and research more on how various governments around the world work. ? The Legislature The proposed parliament will have 2 houses, the Senate & the National assembly. Though good, she noted the size of the senate is yet not known since the numbers of counties are not known (Since the boundaries commission has not finished it work) ? She said though the article is the Right to recall is widely supported, she isn?t happy with it in its current form, as should be made more stringent to avoid witch hunt by those who loose to make it to parliament. Two weeks after you have been elected to parliament and working hard, your opponents may already be collecting signatures to recall you. It should be made more stringent so that cases of recall can only be launched once there are substantial bases to do that. ? Devolution. ? With devolved government, we shall have 3 governments, the Parliament, the Regional governments the county governments. We are already complaining of bloated cabinet, do we have the resources to support all of the three levels of governments? & with the number of counties still unknown, we might end up with a bloated government which we might not sustain with the available resources. She requested us to do the mathematics to see the number the number of elected officers we shall have the average resources we will need in terms of salaries 7 other expenditures ? Judicial System. On the Kadhi court she requested us Christian to be tolerant. She was amazed that Kadhi court was one on the most hotly discussed topic in YP. She said since Kadhi courts have there in the constitution & never had any problem, why do we want to remove them. And how do you think our brother Muslim interpret or react to that. She however noted that if they remain as proposed in the draft constitution then the wording should be the same as the in the old constitution. She said the wording in the draft is different and we should reread & look at the finer details to avoid problems. ? ? Here she said we can make improvements to ensure we have a more independent system. For example, with the judges being appointed/recommended by Judicial Service Commission composed of the members of the judicial system itself who may be appointed cronies of the power be, we should be have an external body, say an inspectorate composed as of for example the members of LSK, academia etc to have a say in appointment of judges to ensure integrity of the system. ? ? ? ? Before she ended she reminded us the following. ? A constitution however good will not be the only solution to take us forward. We also need to change our ethics, change our leaders, and end impunity even at the lowest level etc. She says even the current constitution could have taken us places only if the rule of law is observed. Do you know it says someone who alleged to have committed economic crime should not be appointed to cabinet? While 1/3 of the current cabinet have such cases?! Even we have a new constitution without a change of leaders who will respect it, we might not move forward. We need a new crop of leaders, a paradigm shift. ? Did you know Britain doesn?t have a written constitution, yet it is one of the best run countries in the world? ? She also requested us to use the vitality, creativity, innovativeness, the boldness and the risk-taking attitude/appetite of the youth to initiate initiatives to move the country forward. She said the older people are more conservative and therefore can not make drastic and tremendous changes or shift that is so critical for us revolution. So the challenge is left to us the young people. ? Are we equal to the task, up to the challenge? ? -- Regards YP_Ke Group Moderator -- FINALLY!! YOUNG PROFESSIONALS END OF YEAR GALA NIGHT TODAY ?

After a whole year of active lobbying with you and other youths from all over the country, Kenya Young Greens is set to make a fitting case for a just and fair climate deal arising out of the negotiations. The road has not been easy. It all began with the Inaugural Youth Forum on Climate Change held on the 5th of June 2009 to commemorate the World Environment Day. Here we gathered with over sixty youths to rally a call for a just and fair equitable deal especially for Africa. What followed next was a series of activism and awareness creation under the aegis of The Kenya Climate Change Working Group where we toured all across the country from Mombasa to Wajir Kakamega to Kitui, Nakuru to Nairobi letting youths from all across the country share their experiences of the impact of Climate Change upon their own lives and their communities. We had the pleasure of having the award winning talented Cross over Hip Hop Artist Juliani join us in this journey and it has been remarkable. Now time has come to take all these experiences and voices to world leaders at Copenhagen. Kenya Young Greens and other youths will be traveling to Copenhagen for this reason and I will be glad if i could take with me more of your demands to the world leaders. We have shouted RAUKA AMA HATUTA SURVIVE to our leaders, now its our time to ask the leaders to NOT KILL KYOTO PROTOCOL and TO MAKE CONCRETE EFFORTS TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE. Let us not stop until our voices are heard from all the mountain tops. I will be sure to keep you all posted and share more of what is going on on the go each day from Copenhagen. Feel free to send me emails, videos and whatever you can (provided not abusive or offensive) to our world leaders and lets change the world because we can. The rallying Call for us to President Obama is that Climate Change is not the Change we can Believe in. He holds the crux to this whole debate and only our voices can bring him to act. Together in putting and end to Climate Change." -- Stephen Mwakesi Vice Chairperson, Kenya Young Greens Convener, Organising Committee: National Youth Conference on Climate Change 2009 Cell: +254 723 229 117 / +254 773 80 40 41 Tel: +254 (20) 3750329/3744427 Fax: +254 (20) 3749132 www.kenyayounggreens.org Sent on Behalf of Kenya Young Greens Executive Committee Gibson Amenya Cell +254-722-825417 -- FINALLY!!

Unfortunately I am not. As most of you know I have struggled with my health for a couple of years now but have managed to be pretty stable for most of the time. However, in the past year my condition has deteriorated greatly. What happens with autoimmune diseases such as Lupus/Scleroderma which is what I have is that the body attacks itself & can target any organ. For me it has been my digestive system. Last year I was hospitalized 6 to 7 times due to severely inflamed intestines. As a result I have lost a lot of weight and my body is unable to absorb nutrients. In addition, I am barely able to eat because of severe nausea and pain- an inflamed digestive system simply cannot be able to cope with the enormous task of digesting food. I'm very weak and it is urgent that I get relief soon otherwise I might have to be put on a feeding tube to ensure I am getting nutrition. This is a daunting prospect for me; I would hate to find myself in that place. My last hospitalization was about 2 weeks ago and upon discharge my doctor told me that the condition of my stomach is so bad that it actually alarms her. This was a very low point for me because she offered no solution. After talking to my closest friends they encouraged me not to give up but to look for alternative treatments. I managed to find a clinic right here in Atlanta that combines both comprehensive and alternative medicine to stabilize the immune system. They would also administer intravenous nutrition- vitamins? and supplements which would alleviate the deficiencies I am currently experiencing- anemia, low iron, low potassium and magnesium to name a few. I am confident that this treatment would be very beneficial to me. However, as you can imagine it is very pricey and not covered by the sub-standard insurance I currently have. I desperately need your help and support to enable me to seek this treatment. My parent?s have been amazing through the years and bore the financial burden mostly single handedly. Some of you may remember I have been to South Africa twice and Britain for treatment even before we moved to the US . In addition, my mum is only able to work part time right now due to the demands of my poor health. This is why we came up with the idea to ask you- my friends and friends of my friends to help us in this effort. They have also reached out to their friends and we believe we can reach our goal if we all lend a hand. Here in the US I have the support of my 3 amazing girlfriends who came up with this idea and who have managed to see me through my darkest hours- they literally would not let me give up!! I thank God for them every chance I get. You can get in touch with either me or any one of them if you have any questions or anything. Anne Muriithi will inform you on the treatment costs and give you information on how to make your donation. I thank you for taking time to read this and for your continued love, prayers, support and encouragement. I praise God even in the midst of this storm for I know he will see me through. God bless you all and I wish for you a fantastic year. Love, Rhoda Maina. Rhoda28maina at yahoo.com 404 936 1421. Rhoda will be receiving treatment at the Covenant Health Clinical based in Atlanta GA. The Covenant Health Clinic strives to treat medical concerns from a natural perspective with the least toxic, and invasive and most beneficial means possible. Rhoda will without a doubt benefit from the integrated approach to health that is embraced at the Covenant Health Clinic. The professionals at the clinic understand the underlying causes of Lupus/ Scleroderma, and utilize integrated medical evaluation and treatment protocols that are not found in numerous medical facilities around the world. Additionally, the clinic utilizes state of the art clinical evaluation and laboratory testing methods, both conventional and complimentary tests. Rhoda?s treatment ranges from $10,000 - $12,000, for a three month treatment, excluding any prescribed out of clinic medications. Depending on her initial response, the treatment protocol maybe repeated for another $10,000- $12,000. We therefore need to offer all and any help we can to make this treatment available to our dear sister. For our dear friends in America , Miss Rhoda?s bank information, mailing address and the Covenant Clinic?s website are listed below: Account number: Rhoda W Maina Wachovia Bank, Atlanta GA Account number: 3000101408074 Routing number: 061000227 Mailing Address: 113 summer crossing, Atlanta GA 30350 Clinic website- www.covenanthealthclinic.com Anne Muriithi, nyamzz at gmail.com For our brothers and sisters in Kenya who would like to help Rhoda, please get in touch with either one of the following contacts: Evelyn Mudachi emudachi at yahoo.com 0721 898063 Danny Maina dannywmaina at yahoo.com 0770 211040 Miss Rhoda Wanderwa Maina is a woman who possesses immaculate qualities suitable enough for a Nobel Prize, she is always filled with love for others, charisma and determination with a strong devotion for family, friends and hard work. I can recall times when I was at my lowest and Rhodalifted my spirits with the kindest and wisest words, in spite of the disability that she herself was enduring. Her positive attitude and charming nature makes you appreciate life even more. Rhoda?s faith in Christ is inspiring even for any non believers. She is a goodwill ambassador whose selflessness and devotion for others is priceless. Rhoda is the kind of person who puts others first without any expectations. In spite of her physical hardship, Rhoda still pursues her hobbies such as reading at favorite caf? shops such as Barnes and Noble and shopping at chic boutiques such as Forever 21 which shows off her great fashion sense. Rhoda is currently pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Psychology at Argosy University , GA. and in spite of the setbacks due to her physical condition, she chose to pursue a blended course where she goes to class and studies online. Rhoda has been in and out of hospital, in fact, six times in 2008 alone, this has not damped her spirits and thirst for education. She maintains the notion of importance that a college education brings and even aims to get her Masters Degree thereafter, which is even more admirable but unsurprising to those who know her. The idea to start a fund to help Rhoda was not hers but that of her family and friends who care so much for her, and would not let her give up because of the financial implications. Simply put, it is an idea that came to mind with no hesitation because of how dear and empowering she is to us all. Together we can make a difference in her life by working together to raise what is monetarily needed to support our dearest sister. Nkatha Kathurima- Oshuntuyi, sheila_kathurima at yahoo.com I have known Rhoda since I was six years old, but we never saw eye to eye those days; lots of primary school politicsJ. We ended up meeting again in high school when we were made desk mates, it was awkward at first since we had been in different clicks from primary school (LOL) but we soon got over it. We have been close ever since, I believe we were destined to be friends. She is my sister from my other mother; we always have each other to lean on, although she tends to be the smarter and more rational one. I can't even begin to describe all her qualities coz it would take too long but one word to describe her is, incredibly strong (I couldn?t even pick one word). She has been through so much; I can only imagine how tough it has been for her and her family. Amazingly, she has remained positive through it all, sometimes I talk to her and she ends up encouraging me when it should be the other way around. I always tell her that she is the strongest person I know, and with every challenge she faces she reminds me what an extraordinary person she really is and how blessed I am to have her in my life. I am very excited about this new course of treatment; I really believe that it will make her feel a lot better. She has always been there for me and this is my chance to be there for her in whatever capacity I can. I pray that you will find it in your hearts to join us in helping improve Rhoda's health and ultimately improve her life. Tanya Ranguma. tanyar at temple.edu It takes a village to raise a child is a maxim often quoted and has remained true over the ages. The belief that a child is the community?s responsibility is the vein by which the African family has thrived. In much the same manner, we are charged with being our brother?s keeper ? and in this case, our sister, Rhoda?s keeper. Often we ask what we can do to make a significant difference in this lifetime and we long for purpose. I believe the opportunity has presented itself and we are left with the charge to join together and partner in Rhoda?s road to full recovery and healing. We are charged with taking on this tangible opportunity on the fore front and BE the difference because in so doing we will MAKE a difference. Scripture clearly states in Hebrews 11:1 that ?now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen? ? faith is a present state and must be exercised in the now. As we exercise our faith God?s power is revealed ? it is amazing what a committed community can achieve ? let?s try it! Let?s go for it! Let?s reach for this goal to raise the funds required for her care! We can do it! May we perceive this obstacle as an opportunity after all, ?we are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as obstacles? - Charles Swindoll Christine Kathurima, christine.kathurima at northside.com > __._,_.___ > Reply to sender| Reply > to group > Messages in this topic( > 1) > Recent Activity: > > - New Members > 1 > > Visit Your Group Start > a New Topic > ---------------------------------------------- > Pay your membership early; send cheques to the Treasurer to avoid > disconnection.

"We need to work together in partnership identify policy options that will help Africa face up to the challenges in partnership with people from Government, Institutions of learning, policy makers, Business and Trading along with other NGO development practitioners. We must seek to design interventions appropriate to country circumstances that provide genuine development." ?

We are sending signals for appeal to African leadership and other stakeholders of the World to consider?incorporating Women-Led Civil Society Partnership for Development?in the Mainstream Government?for Policy Structure in Constitution Making.? Women-Led Civil Society?Organizations have a lot at stake and should be given a?chance to participate in Parliamentary Caucus Commision so Women-Led Organization can represent a voice for reason for development programs.? ? In the case of Kenya, this caption should be considered in the Harmonized Draft Constitution of Kenya to include additional No. (4) "Civil Society Partnership for Development" should incorporate a strong qualifier (adjective) endorsement in the Constitution under the Chapter One, "Sovereignty of the People and Supremacy of the Constitution", IN ALL MATTERS OF DEVELOPMENT, where Women-Led Civil Society may exercise their sovereign power?in Partnership to the Government or otherwise, either directly or through their CAUCUS Representation Organization in Parliament. ? I therefore ask all women of the World to support?this idea proposal so we can save the world from perishing.? I must state that, all Nations of the World is a BRANCH of the UNIVERSE, and that Women as Leaders for development?should be considered as Partners for Development within the Mainstream Government and the world.?? ? As people of African Orient, we are tired watching things fall apart,?and of being candidates of victims of rape, torture?and of being marshaled into concentration makeshift politically motivated camps.? This is demeaning and inhuman.? We are bearing the brunt of loosing our beloved children from one such cold blooded political?massacre?including environmental destruction scenarios which are carelessly spearheaded by such politicians who dont think of tomorrow.?Domestically, majority of African women live under harsh conditions of brutality from frustrated husbands, yet?some are abandoned with their children by their husbands and are left to survive by the Grace of God.? This condition?create inner anguish which eat away the family and destroy the domestic unity of the family, which after the crack,?mother and her children degenerate into hopelessness?and the girl child in many cases choose to perish in painful silence, never wanting to get married. ?We have paid a big price enough to put a stop at this crazy mentality and we now?demand to be a voice of reason in decision making corridors.? We want to be heard so we can save lives we painfully bring to this world.? It pains us to see our offspring perish in such wanting careless behavior. ? We believe all lives, small or big, white, black, red, or blue are valuable without degrading or discrimination of Tribal, Clan or Race.? They are all of extreme value to us women.?All people must be given?honor of Human Dignity, whether poor or rich, the people must?be given a chance to survive honorably to their fullest ambition in life.?This will create an organized competition to achieve and create a better world where dialogue is the key substance to determine a worthy livelihood as purposed by God. ? For Example: If you fail to maintain, grease or refurbish your industrial plant unit, it falls apart and ceases to function.? There?will be no way possible, whether by science or osmosis, an engineer can?manufacture industrial production plant?for Humanity of?any Women-kind once women perish from the earth.? It is possible women will perish under such severe conditions that prevail under these harsh political maneuvers in Africa.? As a matter of fact, however the shift of?human behavior in life take effects, marriage between a man and a woman remain symbolically to be of essence to human dignity, value and virtue for existence and for reproduction.?It is one aspect part of Environmental concern that are in conflict which require preservation. ?Therefore, women must be given priority of care and recognition in matters of development, considering they have to produce natural healthy human-milk for the young ones after birth, including painstaking details of child growing up. Women are considered important species for life upon Creation and should not be subjected under these present harsh realities invoked by our uncaring African Politicians.? ? These are some of the reasons we do not want our offspring running amok from their responsibilities in the future, so we must do something today to?strive to improve situation by taking charge to glamour?our children?future now.? We must preserve the genesis of human life so our offspring?s do not change to go the wrong way or make a reverse to choose not to marry, since it was God?s pre-condition to living a worthy valuable long life order.??For this case, we must consequently however, DEMAND to be heard.? Institution of marriage is a?fundamental base for humanity survival and must be protected and preserved. There is no short-cut?but that women in like mind, should step forward to join in the campaign for women inclusion in decision level of the world and to be heard. ? In other words, we are informing the world, we are moving on to?form a T section?impact starting from?Africa.? The picture is forming from across South Africa Lesotho to Tunisia and from Kenya to Guinea Bissau we are in a Mission for transformation with?an?Aim to preserve humanity against hursh reality on Human Survival and Climate disaster.? Africa's present condition is a prescription to World Disaster, and all must get involved. We expect to receive Global support from all men of goodwill to join with us to make this worthy project a reality. ? To achieve Love, Peace, Unity as well as Sustainable Development?including environmental preservation, women must be heard and be included in planning and implementation processes at their local level through Civil Society Organization.? This is a New Outline Vision for Economic Development. When people are driven to extreme poverty, they became conditionally subjected to play a part?in environmental destruction in large scale. ? I am sending this message globally to be looked into and to also reach recipient of The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen so to prevent destruction of climate disaster to future generation by funding women in their Civil Society Caucus? separately as partners for development and?environmental preservation.?This will add value to New Way Forward to sustainable development and job creation to improve workforce development in our midst. ?

Click on the image for a gallery viewThe high level of respect for women made Egyptian society unusual for its time. Women in the royal household could become especially influential. Egyptian society was used to women ruling as co-regents until their sons came of age. Ahhotep ruled Egypt during its darkest days while she waited for her son, Ahmose, to reach adulthood. More unusually, the female pharaoh, Hatshepsut successfully ruled for some 20 years. First among equals Unlike other Egyptians, pharaohs were polygamous - they had more than one wife, but just one principal queen. She was the wife whose male children were acknowledged as the pharaoh's heirs. Although Egyptian queens previously enjoyed very little power, the situation changed dramatically during the New Kingdom period. Instead of just bearing children, the principal queen became an essential part of her husband's reign. Any attempt to rule without a consort became an offence against Maat, the divine order of the universe. Wifely duties Like any dutiful wife, an Egyptian queen was expected to support her husband. She had a variety of religious and political duties that reinforced the position of the royal family. Click on the image for a gallery viewFor example, Queen Tiy, wife to Amenhotep III, may have been born a commoner but was soon corresponding with foreign princes as an equal. Similarly, Queen Nefertiti was a full participant in religious ceremonies honoring Aten, the sun god. Independent woman Queens were also given estates, which provided them with financial independence. This enabled them to commission their own monuments and even develop their own religious symbols. These were designed to remind the people that their queen was close to being a god: a crown of tall feathers, for example, indicated links with the gods Min, Amen and Re. Some pharaohs made the link more obvious. Amenhotep III and Ramesses the Great each built temples for their principal queens, Tiy and Nefertari. The temples were dedicated to them, so the two pharaohs and their consorts were worshipped as gods - a lasting tribute to loving partners. Where to Next: Women in the New Kingdom Pharaohs - Hatshepsut Women in Power - Nefertari Women in Power - Nefertiti ? Ancient Egypt Egyptian women were highly respected The position of women in the New Kingdom was based on a unique combination of ancient tradition and modern sophistication. The opportunities available to most women were limited by centuries of tradition and deeply held religious beliefs. But women also had legal and financial rights that were remarkably modern and sophisticated. This was in marked contrast to the customs in other cultures during the same period. Know your place Egyptian society was highly structured: a woman's social position was largely defined by the status of her father and husband. According to 'Maat', the Egyptian view of the order of the universe, it was definitely a man's world. Only men were allowed to work in the government, so only they could hold real power. But high ranking women - for example, the wife, mother or daughter of an important politician - exerted a lot of covert influence. Women in power Very occasionally, a woman ruled in her own right. For example, Ahhotep ruled while her son, Ahmose, was still growing up and Hatshepsut even became pharaoh. But she still needed to rely on the reputation of her late father and had to pretend he'd nominated her as his successor. Outside the royal family, women were allowed to take paid work. Some wives helped out their husbands with farm work, while others weaved for extra money. Records from the village of Deir el-Medineh show that some women bartered surplus supplies. A woman's place Few women actually worked outside the home as it was frowned on. While their husbands and fathers held down jobs, the main role of Egyptian women was to look after the home and the children. As there was no contraception, women would have spent much of their life either pregnant or breastfeeding. This, along with the housework, would have left little time for other work. Equal before the law Yet women enjoyed extensive legal rights. Egyptian culture recognized a wife as her husband's closest companion. In fact, wives were seen as so important that it was an offence against Maat for a pharaoh to rule without one. As her husband's closest companion, an Egyptian wife was allowed to represent him in his business affairs. They were equal to men before the law and legally responsible for their actions. Women could be named in legal contracts, attend court on their own, bring lawsuits, and even own or rent property under their own name. Financial independence Egyptian law gave every child an equal inheritance. Although most women were too poor to own anything other than a cooking pot and some clothes, this meant some women were quite rich and financially independent. For these women, life was good and many were very cultured. They might own land or have monuments in their name, and they had access to makeup. This involved grinding minerals to make a paste. Ground serpentine made a green eye shadow, while others blacked kohl around the eyes or mixed red ochre and animal fat to produce lip paint and rouge. Ancient and modern Early pregnancy tests told them when they were expecting a child. If a pregnant woman urinated on wheat and barley, her hormones would cause both to bud. It was extremely accurate and the idea isn't much different from pregnancy tests today. Once pregnant, women wore amulets honoring the pregnant god Taweret to help them in childbirth. This sums up life for Egyptian woman - a strange mix of the very traditional and the surprisingly modern. They were limited by their gender, but they were also highly respected. Most remarkable, were the legal rights and responsibilities they held. Western women would not achieve these for another 4,000 years.

Egypt is basically a desert, part of the great Sahara Desert. However, near the Nile River, the land is very moist and fertile. Every year, the snow in the mountains of East Africa would melt, sending a torrent of water that would overflow the banks of the Nile. When it flooded each year, the river left behind a layer of rich, dark mud on the fields. This made the soil richer and made farming easier. ? The Nile River was the center of Egyptian life. The Egyptian people lived on the fertile lands along the Nile. A Greek traveler called this area ?the gift of the Nile.? Natural borders protected Ancient Egypt from invaders. The land beyond the Nile River Valley is a desert, to attack Egypt the invaders would have to go through all the deserts to reach Egypt. The Mediterranean Sea was a good protection against attacks on Egypt. Not many people ventured into the sea before 1500B.C.E., so the Mediterranean Sea formed a natural border. Egypt was not invaded by the sea until Napoleon in the nineteenth century. There were 3 classes in Egyptian society: upper, middle, and lower. It also had slaves. Usually only the upper-class boys could go to school. Some middle-class and lower-class boys learned carpentry or pottery making, but most became farmers like their fathers. The girls learned skills from their mothers. The Egyptians worshipped many gods, and the king, called the pharaoh, was considered a living god on earth. There were 3 periods of importance in Ancient Egypt's history: The Old Kingdom(about 2700-2200 B.C.E) The rival kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were united by a king named Menes, who established his capital at Memphis. During the Old Kingdom Egyptian culture and commerce flourished, and the great pyramids were built. After a period of decay, Egypt entered the First Intermediate Period, a time of strife, instability and famine. Middle Kingdom(about 2050 to 1800 BCE.) With the establishment of the Middle Kingdom, with its capital at Thebes, Egypt grew wealthier and had more trade with other countries. Then weak rulers allowed the country to pass under the rule of foreign nomads, known as the Hyksos. The New Kingdom(about 1600 to 1100 BCE) The New Kingdom was established and Ancient Egypt became a strong power and built its empire. Pyramid building was pretty much abandoned in favor of secret tombs that were not as obvious to tomb robbers. Instead, the pharaohs directed their building projects towards temples and monuments to themselves, such as Abu Simbel built by Ramsess II and the Temple of Karnak, which was continuously built up for centuries. ? These monuments and discoveries such as the finding of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 makes this one of the most well known periods of Pharaonic Egyptian history. Egypt came increasingly under foreign domination, with periods of rule by Libya, Sudan, Assyria, Nubia, and Persia. Following a brief reestablishment of native power in 405 BCE., Egypt fell without a struggle to Alexander the Great in 332 BCE. After Alexander's death Egypt was inherited by his general, Ptolemy, who founded the dynasty of Ptolemies and under whom the new city of Alexandria. The Ptolemies maintained a formidable empire for more than two centuries until, weakened by internal dynastic disputes, Egypt fell to Rome in 30 BCE. Christianity was readily accepted in Egypt, which became part of the Byzantine Empire about 395 CE. With the Arab conquest (639-42) Egypt became an integral part of the Muslim world. Pharaohs Ancient Egypt was ruled by pharaohs, whom the Egyptians believed were both a god and a monarch. Egypt was ruled by many pharaohs, but a few stand out. Nefertiti: Queen of Egypt Akhenaton was a monotheistic pharaoh who ruled with his queen, Nefertiti. Nefertiti supported her husband's religious reforms, changing to worship of Aten, the sun god. Akhenaten and Nefrititi forbade their subjects to worship any other gods but Aten. They built great statues to Aten and ordered that statues honoring any other god be destroyed. Most Egyptians did not take the faith of their leaders, and after their death, statues of Aten were destroyed. Tutankhamun became pharaoh when he was 9 years old and he died of a head injury when he was 18 years old. King Tut's tomb remained intact and buried by rock chips until it was discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter. Seven Egyptian queens were known as Cleopatra, but the most famous was the last; Cleopatra VII. Cleopatra was of Greek heritage and culture, one of the Ptolemy line set on the throne of Egypt after the conquest of Alexander the Great. She had great intelligence and charisma, and she used both to further Egypt's political aims. Field Museum-Cleopatra The Rosetta Stone The ancient Egyptians were a great mystery until scientist deciphered hieroglyphics. In 1799 a troop of French soldiers found a stone near the city of Rosetta with hieroglyphic and Greek inscriptions. We can read hieroglyphics today because of the Rosetta Stone and French archaeologists Jean Champollion. Before Champollion, many archeologists made attempts to decipher hieroglyphic symbols, but failed due to the lack of knowledge of Semitic and oriental languages. Jean Champollion spent more than 20 years of work translating the Egyptian writing into Greek. Jean Champollion made it possible to understand hieroglyphics, and unlocked many of the mysteries of ancient Egyptian civilization. Some of the Ancient Egyptians greatest achievements were: The great pyramids The invention of hieroglyphics The creation of a calendar with 365 days The invention of paper made from papyrus The creation of a written history. *Things to Do Art Upper and Lower Egypt United The Ancient Egyptian double crown was created by combining the white crown of Upper Egypt with the red crown of Lower Egypt. Using magazines have children create new symbols for a modern unification by combining the logos of competitors. Some company suggestions: General Motors & Ford Motor Company, Pepsi & Coke, Apple & Microsoft Make a Pyramid Need: sugar cubes Have children make classroom displays of pyramids using sugar cubes. Make a beaded necklace Men and women wore beaded necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. Supply children with wooden colored beds and yarn or small rope. Let children thread beads onto yarn to make colorful necklaces. To make your own beads: Need: food coloring, 3 cups flour, 2 cups salt, 2 cups cornstarch, 1 1/2 cups hot water, pencils, bowls, yarn. Invite children to examine beads and necklaces. Explain that people in some cultures make beads by rolling mud into balls, poking holes in them, and drying them in the sun. Ask children to describe some favorite beads that they may have seen and invite them to tell you about how they might have been made. Together, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, and hot water. Knead until it forms a dough, adding more flour or water to adjust consistency. Divide the dough into several pieces and tint each with a different food coloring. Pinch off a small amount of dough, roll it between the palms of your hands, and poke pencil through the ball to make a bead. Let children experiment with different sizes and shapes of dough. Children can place their beads in bowls to dry, occasionally turning them over. Beads can be strung when they are completely dry. Braid a necklace or anklet Supply children with colorful yarn, embroidery thread, and plastic twine. Children can braid several pieces of the yarn, etc. to create beautiful bracelets and anklets. Egyptian Makeup Supply children with a variety of face paints and let them experiment with small brushes to apply make up the way Egyptians did. Egyptian clothing. Interesting Facts: Children and servants were naked except for earrings. Children shaved their heads except for a side-lock of hair. Children carried copper mirrors. Egyptian clothing Have children bring in old cloth and pieces of material from home. Cut and wrap to create skirts, shifts, and kilts. Can glue on a outline drawing of a person.

I wonder what I'm supposed to do with information such as "Tutakuwa tunaruka umbali wa futi thelathini alfu (30,000 ft)". Are they trying to impress? At some point the Captain or First Officer will also talk to the passengers...some keep it short with reassuring words that all is well and flight is on schedule while others go a step ahead. On a recent flight...the First Officer yapped for over 5 mins..."We have commenced our descent into X airport, we expect slight turbulence as we come lower, this is due to the warm air rising and displacing the cooler currents above....aaah eeeh...on the flight deck we have 3 to 4 procedures to complete before touching down...that should take about...eeeh...15 mins.....bla bla bla bla" I'm sure the ladies onboard where impressed!

I don't need any evidence to see that you're making a very powerful conclusion in capitals, "NO RELIGIOUS COURTS IN OUR CONSTITUTION OR NO NEW CONSTITUTION," based on nothing but a figment of your imagination and personal paranoia. You're simply fear mongering and I don't know how many of your readers believe you when you say, "The current conflict in Somalia to me, is not about anything but to create an opportunity for more Muslims to run out and come to Kenya as Refugees then they can buy their way to become citizens of Kenya which eventually will boost the number of Muslims in our country." Really? Do you believe yourself, that Somalis plunged their country into chaos so they could flee to Kenya? My point, Jacton, is that let's look at serious points for or against Kadhi's courts. Let's not act on paranoia or bigotry. Let's not whip emotions or fear. Let's not work on unfounded imagination or allegation. And most importantly, let's distinguish between Islam and Muslims, because there are some Muslims just as fanatical and intollerant of other religions as some Christians I read. These fanatics never represent the true teachings of a religion. When shall we as different tribes or people of diffrent religions ever learn to live together in harmony and pursue common goals for the common good of all our people instead of constantly looking for differences, sometimes non-existent, among us?

I want us to reflect on some of the states that have given Muslims their way ie Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan, Nigeria etc, is there peace in those countries? Have you of late seen an increase in the number of Somalis in the streets of Nairobi? How are they gaining entry into our country? The Government owes us an explanation to this? The motive behind the push for this court is clear, they have an agenda to take over Kenya since its the gateway to Africa for the West, they believe once this is done they will then be able to easily conquer Africa and declare it Muslim Continent from where they will be able to attack the west. The current conflict in Somalia to me, is not about anything but to create an opportunity for more Muslims to run out and come to Kenya as Refugees then they can buy their way to become citizens of Kenya which eventually will boost the number of Muslims in our country. What do Christians feel about this? What do you think will happen to Christians and other faiths when they achieve this? Will we have Kenya? Our Political class have also been swayed by this to an extent of signing secret memorandum with the same faith, what do you think is happening people? Why was the agreement not made Public? Do not take anything from these people as they can sell this country if that is what will make them quick-fix their Political ambitions. Right now any Politician with Presidential ambitions will tell that there is nothing wrong with the courts why? because they are banking on the people of that faith to help them win the highest political seat in the land. Am, calling upon the ALL CHRISTIANS THAT this is the time that the Lord our God has given us and that we must stand true to his name and that the Glory and Victory shall be Ours at the end. To Christians, we must Unite at times like this, we must remove our denominational Gloves and be one in Christ as it is only then that we shall emerge victorious. I say this because our Muslim brothers have a unity of Purpose and speak with one voice on matters touching on their people and their faith, how about Christians? its all about competition. The church leadership hardly talk about Extra judicial killings that have denied our people the right to life ever since but you touch a Muslim and you face the music. Church, are we only useful in times of tithing and offering? where are the Christian leadership when the flock they purport to be leading to Christ are killed, hungry, sick have no homes and yet they bury their heads in the sand" man for himself and God for us all" is the order of the day. We need a proactive-conscious church that all the times cares for its flock. NO RELIGIOUS COURTS IN OUR CONSTITUTION OR NO NEW CONSTITUTION. That's my stand. -- FINALLY!!

Message-ID: <305329.89373.qm@web51104.mail.re2.yahoo.com> To say the current constitution is from Judeo-christian tradition is a lie becuase no?such?world view is explicit in the constitution. The tirade hereunder is the major reason our constitution should guarantee freedom of worship but should not prefer any religion.?How will the constitution safeguard Islamic values that will not be safeguraded by one line that allows for freedom of worship and practice of religion? Hi Kip Perhaps out of yr ignorance u may not be aware that the constitutional is a basically based on Christian principles. For your information Kenyan laws are based on the British canon laws which are derived from Christian Judeo teachings. Just a simple example. Saturdays and Sundays are off work? days simply to allow Christians to go to church without any hassle. It is fair enough for Muslims to have a small portion of the law to safeguard their values after all this country is not only for Christians. Muslims have never come out to complain against the Christian doctrines in the constitution and it beats logic why some christians cannot tolerate a section which guarantees the rights of Muslims in the constitution. It is high time that the excuse that the courts are a way of gradually introducing the Shariah law in the constitution is done away with as it has no basis whatsoever. Even? before independence the kadhis courts were in existence and they did not elicit such complaints before. Perhaps those who are peddling the so-called Islamic agenda can enlighten us on this. The likes of kip are hiding behind hatred for islam and Muslims to spread the lies and disinformation on Islam. For Muslims-NO KADHIS COURTS NO CONSTITUTION! ________________________________ From: sang kip To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Sent: Thu, December 3, 2009 7:27:33 AM Subject: [YP_Ke] ISLAMIC AGENDA IN THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION. RAMAH: Should Islamic way of life be enshrined in the constitution?written for all Kenyans?! I think Islamic way of life is for Muslims only just as??Doctrines of the Christian Church are for Christians only. Islamic law and culture are Arabic and I see no sense in making them part of a constitution that is supposed to be secular and non-ethnic. If Kadhi Courts will be part of it then Christian Doctrines, ethnic cultures and superstitions should also be part if it. We are writing a constitution that will make all citizen equal regardless of religion, culture, gender, color and ability, etc. We writing a document that will favor all Kenyans equally.One that will not dictate matters of religion,exalt a groups above the rest, favor narrow interests or even subjugate some. When Muslims relently insist that Kadhi Courts should be in the constitution they are saying, albeit mutedly,?that they are special and deserving special place in the constitution. When they say Kadhi Courts?define Islam as? away of life?we say the Bible does the same for Christians. Ramah, Muslims' need, if allowed,? will become one step towards Sharia Law. It will be like the proverbial Elephant who asked?the farmer?to allow one of?Elephant's legs into?the farmer's?house to warm it.As time went on the Elephant demanded the other legs and the whole body??be accommodated too?deposing the farmer?and owning the ?house? himself! The demand the Kadhi Court be included in the constitution is a game plan for future more demands which may destabilize the country. NO KADHI COURTS IN THE CONSTITUTION! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ________________________________ From: RAMAH SALIM To: john kamau Cc: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Sent: Thu, December 3, 2009 2:55:28 AM Subject: Re: Re: [YP_Ke] FW: ISLAMIC AGENDA IN THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION.

Our website - although a work in progress-is functional. We have received comments on the Draft Constitution but can do with more. Our formal response will go out next week. So please hurry and visit www.kenyansabroad.org to leave your comments on this very important document. Time is running fast please hurry. We will post our draft response for members' comment and then forward it to the CoE. A time has come when we need to enhance the composition of our Exec Committee and there is no better way to do so than via elections. Tasks we have to accomplish first include sorting out the member list and drawing up a voter register. Next we will constitute an electoral committee and identify a date And candidates. This is how you can help your organisation: 1. pay your membership fee (it is still $15). Simply go to www.kenyansabroad.org/about_us.html and click on the* Subscribe* button. 2. Invite ten of your friends to join KCA. They need to fill the form at http://www.kenyansabroad.org/member/join.html 3. participate in the election exercise In the meantime we have two fundraising appeals - famine and holiday harambee. You can donate by clicking on the Donate button/icon on our website at www.kenyansabroad.org/about_us.html. Please give generously. Regards Dr I.M.

This is to bring to your attention our concern that many times your public utterances are wanting, so confusing, contradicting, worrisome and questionable to an extend majority poor Kenyans are left to wonder if their public interest are taken care of or their demands according to your view, would be given favorable consideration as partners in development and or be treated with honor incase you become the next President of Kenya. My purpose for writing this email is as a result of recent public disagreement you had with Ambassador Ranneberger when he questioned recent raise in allowances for Civil Servants which he thought was not urgent or important as yet under the prevailing urgent humanitarian grounds where majority are lagging in poverty including the displaced persons and also it is thought sensible tackling serious issues of great importance which are?believed were politically motivated and are severely affecting survival of ordinary poor Kenyan public ?(Mwanainchi ) presently.? Things of salary to Civil Servants can be considered when the country stabilizes.? This shows we are lacking Experts in Finance Controller General who plans and balances expenditure budget usage for the Country.? This give question to weather Parliamentary Finance Committee is functioning. MPs salary alone for a poor country like Kenya, which is unable to generate their own finances or support their people independently, is world wide questionable when Kenya Government rely heavily on Donor funding and grants to maintain their running expenditure in the Government.? Members of Parliament salary increase takes place two to three times in one year, is this justified?? This kind of behaviour is stealing from public.? We want a considerate People's Representative who will be willing to make partnership with the people so the public can achieve their desired ambition goals in life. We are worried that you are not considering urgent remedy and resolution in matters affecting Kenyans for which we thought would be your agenda number one (service to ordinary people).? To deliver, you must treat delivery as matters of life and death in your consideration and must be given top attention with urgency in order to be trusted.? Position of Kenya is totally shaken from political quagmire, that engulf the Country? with issues that scuttle Reform Agenda for Kenya and Kenyans, requiring immediate attention, so people can live at peace united with each other.? I am contemplating ?issues surrounding implementation of Reform Agenda 4 which; your slow pace in giving unequivocal support to the ?Local Tribunal Bill, your slack way of interjecting on Draft Constitution which in my opinion is lacking PUBLIC CONTROL POWER, and where the so called Legal professionals were paid huge handsome money to do a shoddy job is robbery to the public, which you seem to support, and your jumpy way of cooperating with the International Community who are giving Kenya and Kenyans a jump-start financial back-up support necessary to help Kenya remain stable financially under these shaking stormy political condition which are about to sink Kenya into oblivion and throw Kenyans into a state of hopelessness, a people without direction is worrisome.??? Any money that come to Kenya from International Donor or Government?is not free money, one way or the other it must be paid back by the people/public.? The people who pay back this money through hardship are the ordinary WANAINCHI.? It is the responsibility of PEOPLE/PUBLIC therefore to question or know how and where their money is spent.? They have the right to question.? If it is stolen, they have the right to demand their money back, whether through court or otherwise. In my opinion, you just seem to think of foreign money coming in to the Country without a plan how to transparently disburse the said money to the involvement and information of PUBLIC to bring achievable desired result which is possible in a short space of time.? In your government as President, how will you treat donor funding.? Public money used carelessly is what has failed Kenya and is the reason why Politicians are stealing from Kenyans, why Goldenburg ripped off Kenyans resource utility, why?Anglo Leasing (Anglo leasing) is a big issue, Kenyans must recover through International Courts. ?This donor money, we want to believe?you seem to think should circulate feeding your individual pockets in the Government without questioning, which is wrong, it is public theft.? You do not turn jittery when that kind of question is put accross.? You should defend such questions with dignity and humility to be able to achieve reform.? There will be no development success in Kenya or the removal of poverty without responsibility, commitment and transparency involving Civil Society as partners of Development in any Government. Checks and balances must be the way to go. We worry that you may be having good professional experts to advice and guide in the Coalition Government in your leadership, but you ignore to utilize their expertise and do not give them express open hand to utilize their knowledge so they can deliver.? For what use, Prime Minister Raila, is the increase of salary to Civil Servants if they are not going to deliver according to their profession because your type of leadership is tying their hands from performing, yet the public expect them to perform?? This is tax payers money spent without due regard, the public money which the people pay back through thin and thick in TAXES in the form of rising costs of food, transportation, rent including other basic daily needs or otherwise from the poor?s hard earned earning which they (the public) conditionally oblige in order to survive.? This behavior is considered knowingly subjecting and suppressing humanity through negligence into harsh reality of conditionality is considered abusive to humanity and is treated as Criminal against Human Rights in the International Treaty for Human Rights.??This manner of behaviour can also scuttle?Reform we badly need.? You also want to compare US State Secretary Hillary Clinton to her recent visitation to Kenya, that she had a big entourage yet they were spending Tax Payers money??you are attacking the same hands that are feeding Kenya and Kenyans.? USA is so organized 50 years ahead of its Country basic finance budget.? USA have Government reserve facility to accommodate their expenditures.? The Government itself is able to generate its independent funds in many small sublet activities, in other words the Government has a creative ways of generating independent money so they are able to pay back any monies they borrow from public kitty.? How would you therefore want to compare yourself or Kenya with USA? Is this not lacking wisdom? Bwana Prime Minister you are letting Kenyans down.? You cannot bite the hand that is feeding you because it will stop feeding you and you will be putting the country in arms length danger to invasion and terrorism.? Step up and have a reality check so we can trust and believe that you are able to lead Kenyans to prosperity and deliver effectively to Kenyans without meandering. ?I believe you have an apology to the Envoy. Best Regards, ? Judy Miriga Diaspora Spokesperson Executive Director Confederation Council Foundation for Africa Inc., USA http://socioeconomicforum50.blogspot.com ? ? Envoy and PM spat over civil servants allowances ? Updated 18 hr(s) 6 min(s) ago Related Stories EU Sh90m grant to boost conservation By Martin Mutua Prime Minister Raila Odinga almost fell out with US ambassador Michael Ranneberger over the push for austerity measures in Government. Trouble started when Ranneberger questioned the recent raise in allowances for civil servants, saying the economy was still weak. Raila, who had called a meeting between donors and top Government officials in his office, defended the raise, claiming the envoy was out of order. The envoy said the donor community had suggested that the Government limits the number and size of delegations overseas and were disappointed by the turn of events. Ranneberger said a minister visiting Switzerland would claim $918 per day (about Sh68,850) in allowances, which is more than what an average Kenyan earns annually. "By comparison it is perhaps worth noting that a US government official traveling to Switzerland receives only about half the daily allowance of a Kenyan minister," the envoy is reported to have said. At this point an agitated Raila hit back and told Ranneberger he had overstepped his mandate. "The PM actually told the ambassador that he had now gone overboard and was meddling in the internal affairs of the country and should stop," added the source. Raila is said to have referred the envoy to the visit by US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton whose entourage occupied the entire Inter Continental Hotel for a week. "The PM asked the envoy to state whether by taking an entire hotel Clinton was also not burdening the US tax payers," added the source. Other issues the donors are said to have raised include Goldenberg and Anglo Leasing scandals. Ranneberger asked whether the Government was preparing to make more payments to Anglo Leasing-related companies. ? ? Read all about: Prime Minister Raila Odinga Michael Ranneberger civil servants ? EU Sh90m grant to boost conservation Updated 22 hr(s) 11 min(s) ago ACP States to lose Sh28b annually after EU treaty ends The Draft constitution is not about power but on best living standards for all By Standard Correspondent The European Union, through the Community Development Trust Fund (CDTF), is setting aside Sh90 million to fund projects located in Mwea, Embu, Mbeere, Kutui, Mbooni and Mwingi districts. These areas have suffered massive environmental destruction that have been perpetuated by human and animal activities in the areas. The CDTF Programmes Co-ordinator, Salesius Njoka Miu, said the Sh90 million disbursements was part of a Sh1.3 billion EU kitty, which will be used to fund 179 environmental projects in Kenya. Adopt skills The EU Head of Social and Environment section, Daniel Plas, called on the project beneficiaries to utilise the grants effectively by adopting the skills learnt through the capacity building sessions, after he joined the board of trustees of CDTF in assessing progress made in the nine projects. The skill upgrade, Plas said, would enable them sustain the project even after the close of the donor funding. The nine projects are being implemented by community-based organisations, which have to contribute 10 per cent of the projects funding. Among the conditions set was gender inclusiveness, a move that saw women leaders participating in the projects. CDTF also insisted that provincial administration and other environmental stakeholders be included in the formulation, implementation and sustenance of the projects to guard against inter-departmental conflicts and suppress vested interests. Miu said the EU funding would also be channeled to agro-forestry projects, which include agro-organic farming, fishing and poultry farming, beekeeping, tree growing, pottery and brick making, which will improve environmental protection besides addressing the community?s livelihood. Moreover, EU?s Project Manager, Joseph Mathuva, said the EU was ready to channel more funds into projects that will address the millennium development goals (MDGs) and improve rural communities. Among the projects that CDTF visited included the Thiba and Nyamindi River Basin, which got Sh20.6 million in funding. The organisation aims to restore the area?s natural resources, and improve the livelihoods of communities through fish and poultry rearing, and rehabilitation of the area rivers. The Allamano Mianya Primary School, in Mwea, received Sh2.5 million to improve learning facilities and the road access to the school, while the Nyanyaa Secondary School Laboratory, in Kitui, Sh1.7million. Road access In Embu, the Rwere-Kianjokoma Bridge received Sh5.5 million to provide reliable and efficient road access between Kavutiri and Kiriari sub-locations. CDTF is also funding the improvement of the Rupingazi river ecosystem. EU has also channelled Sh1.8 million into the Kandara water dam, in Mbeere District, to increase availability of water for domestic and livestock. Moreover, communities used the funds to put up a dam that will serve over 500 households that initially trekked over 20 kilometers daily in search of water. Additionally, drought hit Mwingi District will have reprive after the rehabilitation of the Mwingi -Katiliku-Kwa Mbungu water supply at a cost of Sh5.6 million is complete In Mbooni, the Mutonguni Ecosystem Environment Management group received Sh18.2 for environmental rehabilitation.

Message-ID: <124210.58212.qm@web38703.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Each one of us has got some issues;issues that in more ways than one belong to realm of "personal and confidential".If possible,we don't want anyone to know anything about them. Privately,we admit to ourselves that these issues are not all that easy to deal with.Much as we want not to think about them,they keep popping up.If we were honest,we would say that some issues are killing us,so to speak. Without any question,there are some issues that are way beyond our help.Such,we can only hand them over or turn them over to the Master per excellence-Jesus Christ,our Lord and savior.He himself has invited us to come unto Him. Hear what He says "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Mathew 11:28-30). Will the Master cast any one of us away? By no means. He wants all of us saved,"All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day." (John 6:37-39). Do we have any part to play? Absolutely. Let each of us identify what our challenges are. Once we do that,let us wholeheartedly accept help.Just remember that as Jesus said "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15.5). So,Pray about it and purpose in your life to do something about it. I will continue praying for y'all and request you to do the same for me! Will you? Blessings.

Mailbox ************************************************************ New You Use A Review: Institutional Racism in Law Schools By John Burl Smith When the Founding Fathers codified slavery in the 3/5 Compromise of Article I Section II in the US Constitution, they legalized discrimination. This made maintaining segregation, racism and the hostile environment slave descendants endure a government function. Federal, state and local governments enacted laws and instituted policies and procedures that made white supremacy the guiding socioeconomic and political value of US society. The fact that the 3/5 Compromise was never repealed and removed from the US Constitution means it remains law of the land. Whites and many blacks claim that the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution negated the 3/5 Compromise. However, the 3/5 Compromise is the basis of the Electoral College and the US Senate. Moreover, "strict construction" of the Constitution is code for honoring the 3/5 Compromise. It is why the Supreme Court ruled that to give blacks equal access or in any way level the playing field is "reversed" discrimination. Consequently, the socioeconomic inequities in education, employment, income, wealth, etc. are forms of discrimination the Constitution allows. Vernellia R. Randall (2006) published a very perceptive study in St. John's Law Review, The Misuse of the LSAT: Discrimination Against Blacks and Other Minorities in Law School Admissions, which supports this thesis. This investigation is far too extensive to present fully here, but discussion of its rationale and conclusions are well within the scope of this review. Law schools, the American Bar Association (ABA), Supreme Court and civil rights lawyers are enablers, obscuring the truth that the 3/5 Compromise permits discrimination against slave descendants. "Each year the U.S. News & World Report publishes its college and university rankings, and as a result law schools have resorted to discrimination to "raise" their rank." Their aim is to reduce the talent pool of blacks and minorities that could become lawyers. Not the blatant "No Blacks Allowed" kind of discrimination but the subtle "soft bigotry" based on low expectations." Institutional racism exists when institutions adopt policies, practices, or procedures that appear neutral but impact blacks and other minorities disproportionately. Law schools adopted a cut-off score (below which few, if any, candidate is admitted) on the Law School Admissions Test ("LSAT') in the 1990s. Arbitrary cut-off LSAT/UGPA (Undergraduate Grade Point Average) scores became the sole determining admission factors since that adoption. Despite an increase in the number of applications, an increase in average LSAT scores and a rise in average UGPA, black and Mexican American enrollment in law schools decreased over the last ten years. Implementation of such a policy, practice, or procedure is clear evidence of institutional racism, but it is also evidence of systemic racism since many institutions - the American Bar Association, National Association of Judges and U.S. News & World Report- cover up such an unethical and discriminatory intent. Racism is any conscious or unconscious action or attitude that subordinates an individual or group based on skin color or race. Such institutional behavior is inherently racist because policy outcomes effectively exclude blacks -- disproportionately affecting access to and quality of goods, services, and opportunities for blacks. Cultural or systemic racism (3/5 Compromise) forms the basis of institutional racism. It underlies the value system, supporting and facilitating discrimination based on perceptions of superiority and inferiority as part of daily rationale. Randall's study looked at the University of Dayton as an illustration of the insidious problem of institutional discrimination as a function of systemic racism in legal education. The University of Dayton is a private, Catholic, Marianist law school with a stated mission of social justice and commitment to diversity. The city of Dayton, Ohio is almost fifty percent African American. University of Dayton School of Law admission director assigned a status of presumptive admit, presumptive deny, or committee review based primarily on the applicant's LSAT/UGPA. Beyond this there were no written standard or criteria against which a prospective candidate's file was reviewed. Files sent for committee review were evaluated on the basis of a full file review and voted on by the individual committee members. Each committee member applied his or her own unarticulated criteria. For the 2003-2004 admissions committee, the presumptive deny level was set at any LSAT score below 145. This meant that if two similar files were received by the admission office, and the only significant difference between the files was that one had an LSAT of 144 and the other had a 145 and both had a UGPA of 3.49, the file of the applicant with the 145 LSAT would have been sent to committee review. The other would have been presumptively denied. The University of Dayton's 2003 admission grid gave preference to test-taking ability over demonstrated classroom ability. For instance, an applicant who scored between 165 and 180 on the LSAT was presumptively admitted even though that applicant's performance during undergraduate school was at the C+ (2.5) level. Conversely, an applicant who scored between 120 and 139 was presumptively denied even though the applicant performed in undergraduate school at an A+ (3.75 or above) level. A 2003 report of the ABA Commission on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Profession stated that: Combined African American and Hispanic representation among lawyers was 7 % in 1998. The United States population is projected to be almost 60% "minority" by 2050. Without a substantial improvement we will not be a multiracial society where all groups are represented fairly-- we will instead be a de facto South African Apartheid, where power and control of society will be disproportionately held by the white minority. It is not enough to object to the use of cut-off scores or admission processes that impact blacks and other minorities disparately. All lawyers must actively oppose using LSAT cut-off scores (below which no applicants will be considered) to disqualify blacks and other minorities. "Further, the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) asserts that '[t]hose who set admission policies and criteria should always keep in mind the fact that the LSAT does not measure every discipline-related skill necessary for academic work, nor does it measure other factors important to academic success' and '[s]chools currently using the [presumptive system] are encouraged to modify it because such methods may be using the LSAT score incorrectly.' Most law schools, like the University of Dayton, have clear and consistent evidence that many students with LSAT scores that fall below their cut-off can successfully complete law school and become fine representatives of the legal profession. Law schools have many competing objectives and we should not let a measure of skills that is as imperfect as the LSAT to dominate admission decisions. We certainly should not tolerate, much less engage in, any institutional or systemic racism."

Giroux "My work has always been informed by the notion that it is imperative to make hope practical and despair unconvincing. My focus is primarily on schools and the roles they play in promoting both success and failure among different classes and groups of students. I am particularly interested in the way in which schools mediate--through both the overt and hidden curricula--those messages and values that serve to privilege some groups at the expense of others. By viewing schools as political and cultural sites as well as instructional institutions, I have tried in my writings to provide educators with the categories and forms of analyses that will help them to become more critical in their pedagogies and more visionary in their purposes. Schools are immensely important sites for constituting subjectivities, and I have and will continue to argue that we need to make them into models of critical learning, civic courage, and active citizenship." Henry A. Giroux Henry A. Giroux was born on September 18, 1943 in Providence, Rhode Island. He did his undergraduate work at the University of Maine and earned a Masters degree from Appalachian State University. From 1968-75, Giroux taught high-school social studies in Barrington, Rhode Island. After earning his doctorate at Carnegie-Mellon in 1977, Giroux served as a professor of education at Boston University for six years before becoming an education professor and renowned scholar in residence at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He also served as the founding Director of the Center for Education and Cultural Studies at Miami University. In 1992, Giroux began a 12-year position in the Waterbury Chair Professorship at Penn State University, where he also served as the Director of the Waterbury Forum in Education and Cultural Studies. Giroux became the Global Television Network Chair in English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario in 2004. He currently resides in Ontario with his wife, Dr. Susan Searls Giroux. Giroux is an American cultural critic. He has been an important contributor to the field known as critical pedagogy. An advocate of radical democracy, vigorously opposing the anti-democratic tendencies of neoliberalism, militarism, empire, religious fundamentalism, and the ongoing attacks against the social state, the social wage, youth, the poor, and public and higher education, his most recent work focuses on public pedagogy, a term he coined to describe the nature of the spectacle and the new media, and the political and educational force of global culture. Giroux has published more than 40 books and 300 academic articles. Since arriving at McMaster, Giroux has been a featured faculty lecturer, and has published nine books, including his most recent work, The University in Chains: Confronting the Military-Industrial-Academic Complex. Giroux's writing has won many awards, including Distinguished Scholar (Miami University), Visiting Distinguished Professor Award for 1987-1988 at the University of Missouri?Kansas City, the Visiting Asa Knowles Chair Professorship by Northeastern University in 1995, Tokyo Metropolitan University Fellowship for Research (1995), Laureate Chapter of Kappa Delta Phi, Distinguished Visiting Lectureship in art education at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in (1998 and 1999), winner of a Getty Research Institute Visiting Scholar Award (2000), Hooker Distinguished Visiting Professor at McMaster University (2001), the James L. Kinneavy Award for the most outstanding article published in JAC (2001), the Barstow Visiting Scholar at Saginaw Valley State University (2003), and an Honorary Doctorate of Letters by Memorial University of Newfoundland (2005). Seven of his books have been chosen as significant books of the year by the American Educational Studies Association. Giroux was named as one of the top fifty educational thinkers of the modern period in Fifty Modern Thinkers on Education: From Piaget to the Present as part of Routledge's "Key Guides Publication Series" (2002).

Giroux Punishment and fear have replaced compassion and social responsibility as the most important modalities mediating the relationship of youth to the larger social order. Youth within the last two decades have come to be seen as a source of trouble rather than as a resource for investing in the future, and in the case of poor black and Hispanic youth are increasingly treated as either a disposable population, cannon fodder for barbaric wars abroad, or the source of most of society's problems. Hence, young people now constitute a crisis that has less to do with improving the future than with denying it. As Larry Grossberg points out, "It has become common to think of kids as a threat to the existing social order and for kids to be blamed for the problems they experience. We slide from kids in trouble, kids have problems, and kids are threatened, to kids as trouble, kids as problems, and kids as threatening." This was exemplified when the columnist Bob Herbert reported in the New York Times that "parts of New York City are like a police state for young men, women, and children who happen to be black or Hispanic. They are routinely stopped, searched, harassed, intimidated, humiliated and, in many cases, arrested for no good reason." No longer "viewed as a privileged sign and embodiment of the future," youth are now increasingly demonized by the popular media and derided by politicians looking for quick-fix solutions to crime and other social ills. While youth have always had to bear the misplaced fear and distrust of adults, how youth are represented, talked about, and treated has changed dramatically in the last two decades. Under the reign of neoliberal politics with its hyped-up social Darwinism and theater of cruelty, the popular demonization and "dangerousation" of the young now justifies responses to youth that were unthinkable 20 years ago, including criminalization and imprisonment, the prescription of psychotropic drugs, psychiatric confinement, and zero tolerance policies that model schools after prisons. School has become a model for a punishing society in which children who commit a rule violation as minor as a dress code infraction or slightly act out in class can be handcuffed, booked, and put in a jail cell. Racism, inequality, and poverty are on full display in the growing resegregation of public schools in the United States. Now more than ever, many schools either simply warehouse young black males or put them on the fast track to prison incarceration or a future of control under the criminal justice system. All across America, black and brown youth are being suspended or expelled at rates much higher than their white counterparts who commit similar behavioral infractions. For example, as Howard Witt writes in the Chicago Tribune, "In the average New Jersey public school, African-American students are almost 60 times as likely as white students to be expelled for serious disciplinary infractions. In Minnesota, black students are suspended 6 times as often as whites [and] in Iowa, blacks make up just 5 percent of the statewide public school enrollment but account for 22 percent of the students who get suspended. . . . And on average across the nation, black students are suspended and expelled at nearly three times the rate of white students." As schools become increasingly militarized, drug-sniffing dogs, metal detectors, and cameras have become common features in schools, and administrators appear more willing if not eager "to criminalize many school infractions, saddling tens of thousands of students with misdemeanor criminal records for offenses such as swearing[,] disrupting class," or pushing another student. Trust and respect now give way to fear, disdain, and suspicion, creating an environment in which critical pedagogical practices wither, while pedagogies of surveillance and testing flourish. If young people were once defined as part of the vocabulary of innocence and compassion, they are now largely understood through the discourse of fear, guilt, and punishment. Clearly, there is more at stake under the current regime of neoliberal politics than an attack on children largely characterized by "negative labels and characterizations of youth [that] are falsely totalizing" and punitive laws and public policies. Youth have also become collateral damage for conservatives and neoliberal advocates who want to dismantle the social state and in doing so justify themselves by pointing to an alleged rise of a generation of disorderly and dangerous youth dependent upon government entitlements. Within this discourse, government support for young people is both undermined and inappropriately blamed for creating a generation of kids labeled as psychologically damaged, narcissistic, violent, and out of control. Scapegoating youth as both a generation of suspects and a threat to the social order allows conservatives and neoliberals to further privatize those public spheres that youth need, such as education and health care, while developing policies that move away from social investment to matters of punishment and containment. In this instance, the punishing state combines with the logic of the market to produce priorities and policies that disinvest in the future of children and assert a ruthlessness that largely treats them as reified commodities or disposable populations. Both childhood and the state are now being reimagined in ways that reveal the priorities of a society that has fully embraced the reckless abandon of casino capitalism, where the only rules that matter are made to order by powerful corporations and rich investors. How else to interpret neoliberal-inspired government programs that in the midst of deepening inequality, rising levels of poverty, catastrophic increases in failed mortgages, and growing unemployment invest more in prisons than in public and higher education? It is more necessary than ever to register youth as a theoretical, moral, and political center of concern, even as it is increasingly evident that youth are one of our lowest national priorities. It is crucial to connect the current crisis in democracy to the war against young people. Doing so will remind adults of their ethical and political responsibility to invest in youth as a symbol for not only securing a democratic future but also keeping alive those elements of civic imagination, culture, and education that subordinate economic principles to democratic values. The category of youth may be one of the most important referents for beginning a critical examination about the pernicious consequences of a society driven by market values, one that not only abstracts young people from the future but shapes the present in a theater of war in which youth become the most innocent victims. Youth provide a powerful touchstone for a critical discussion about the long-term consequences of neoliberal policies, which undermine any viable notion of justice, equality, and freedom, while also gesturing toward those conditions that make a democratic future possible. Many young people are part of social movements that not only address these crucial issues but also provide a politics, modes of resistance, and connective relations that adults should take seriously as part of their own civic and political formation at the beginning of the new millennium. About Me: The above passage comes from the book, Youth in a Suspect Society: Democracy or Disposability? By Henry A. Giroux, who currently chairs the Global TV Network Professorship at McMaster University in the English and Cultural Studies Department. Hood Notes Ugly Truth: Most U.S. Kids Sentenced to Die In Prison Are Black By Liliana Segura On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard two cases that could have major implications for the way juvenile offenders are treated in our criminal justice system. Sullivan v. Florida and Graham v. Florida both involve men who are serving life without the possibility of parole for crimes they were convicted of as teenagers -- crimes in which no one was killed. Monday's oral arguments covered a lot of ground, including whether life-without-parole is comparable to the death penalty (which has been banned for juveniles); whether the purpose, ultimately, is about deterrence or retribution -- "What is the State's interest in keeping ... the defendant in custody for the rest of his life if he has been rehabilitated and is no longer a real danger?" -- whether, for sentencing purposes, there's any practical difference between a 13-year-old or a 10-year-old -- or, for that matter, an 18-year-old and a 17-and-11-month-old ("the line has to be drawn somewhere.") At points, it got downright philosophical ("Why does a juvenile have a constitutional right to hope, but an adult does not?" asked Justice Kennedy.) But at the center of the argument was the question of whether children -- and their potential for rehabilitation -- should be judged by the same standards as that of grown-ups. "To not recognize the difference between a child and an adult is cruel and unusual," defense attorney Bryan Stevenson told Justice Antonin Scalia. Conspicuously absent from the oral arguments, however, was any discussion of race. The one time Stevenson attempted to mention it, as one of the "arbitrary features" of the distribution of life-without-parole sentences -- these prisoners are "disproportionately kids of color," Stevenson said -- he was interrupted by Justice Alito, who questioned the reliability of his statistics. ("What is your response to the State's argument that these statistics are not peer-reviewed?" he asked.) It can be tricky to pin down exact numbers when it comes to specific prison populations from state to state, particularly given the differences between sentencing statutes across the country. And states have not traditionally kept track of how many juveniles are in their adult prisons. But when it comes to juvenile lifers, there are some figures that have been widely accepted (and not contested by the state of Florida.) "There are 73 children 14 and younger who have been imprisoned for life without parole," Stevenson told the Court. "...For the age of 13 and younger, there are only nine kids, and that's including both kids convicted of homicide and non-homicide. For non-homicide, there are only two. They are both in Florida and Joe Sullivan is one of them." What he did not get to say is that of the vast majority of kids who are sentenced to die in prison are black. This is unfortunate. Racism has been central to the policies that led to the rise in life sentences for juveniles in the first place -- and not just in Florida. The Supreme Court may rely on legal precedents to make their decisions -- but that does not mean it necessarily considers history. Barry Krisberg, president of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, wrote in 2005 that in the years that followed the hysteria over superpredators, "More than 40 states made it easier to transfer children to adult criminal courts. Educators enacted 'zero-tolerance' policies to make it easier to expel youngsters from school, and numerous communities adopted youth curfews. Many jurisdictions turned to metal detectors in public schools, random locker searches, drug tests for athletes and mandatory school uniforms. The panic was bipartisan. Every crime bill debated by Congress during the Clinton administration included new federal laws against juvenile crime. Paradoxically, as Attorney General Janet Reno advocated for wider and stronger social safety nets for vulnerable families, President Bill Clinton joined congressional leaders demanding tougher treatment of juvenile felons, including more incarceration in both the adult and youth correctional systems. Paving the way was the Sunshine State. "Florida led the country in transferring juveniles into the adult courts," says Stephen K. Harper, a University of Miami professor who teaches juvenile law. At the same time, adult sentences were getting longer. In 1983, Florida abolished parole for most crimes, and in 1995, it got rid of parole altogether. "Adolescents were being transferred into the adult system, while simultaneously the adult system was becoming more punitive," Harper told AlterNet. Today, the results are a bit perverse. According to Florida State Law Professor Paolo Annino, "Florida takes the lead in placing the youngest children in the adult prison system. The most recent Florida data shows, there is 1 inmate who was 10, 4 inmates who were 11, 5 inmates who were 12, and 31 inmates who were 13 years old at the time of their offense." Annino and Harper both point to what Harper calls the "unintended consequences" of Florida's rush to incarcerate juveniles. "In 1983 and 1995, the Florida Legislature did not contemplate that hundreds of children would be sent to adult prison in the last two decades," Annino wrote earlier this year. But before the Court, Florida Solicitor General Scott D. Makar defended Florida's large juvenile lifer population, suggesting that the state knew exactly what it was doing. "I believe Florida is very balanced," he told Scalia during oral arguments in Graham v. Florida. Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum agrees. In his brief filed in Graham, McCollum argues that it was Florida's brand of tough-on-crime legislation that led to falling crime rates in the late 1990s -- a claim that law professors Jeffrey Fagan and Franklin E. Zimring call "as phony as last decade's crime scare." "As a member of Congress in the 1990s," they wrote, "[McCollum] promised the United States a 'coming storm' of superpredators as a result of a population surge of kids from fatherless homes." This, of course was the claim pushed by John DiIulio, the only difference being that, more than a decade later, McCollum still seems determined to believe it. The "superpredator" myth -- and the racism that breathed life into it -- has been a driving force behind the rush to incarcerate youths of color across the country for years. That the human effects would go undiscussed by the Court may come as no surprise given the justices' routine upholding of other laws that disproportionately affect people and families of color. But in a country with 2.3 million prisoners, leaving race completely out of the decision would not just be willful ignorance; it would amount to what Bryan Stevenson has called an "appalling silence."

Politics Y2K9 Stacking the Deck Against Kids By Bob Herbert Every year at Thanksgiving, parts of the Upper West Side of Manhattan become like a paradise for children. There's the exciting preparation of the balloons and floats for the Thanksgiving Day parade, and then, on Thursday morning, the parade itself. The weather isn't always kind. I've seen the kids out there in snow, in freezing rain, in winds that threaten to send the balloons and their handlers soaring to distant venues. It doesn't seem to matter. The children come into the neighborhood in waves, holding the hands of adults or riding atop their shoulders, smiling, laughing, playing hide-and-seek among the police barricades. Finally, inevitably, they end up staring in absolute open-mouthed, wide-eyed awe as the mammoth, colorful helium-filled creations of their favorite characters begin making their majestic way down Central Park West. We have an obligation and an opportunity at this special moment in history to do right by these youngsters, and all the rest of America's kids. It's a special moment because we've seen so clearly the many things that have gone haywire in the society, and while it may not be easy to articulate, we have a sense of what needs to be done. The American economy is broken, ruined by the greed and irresponsibility of fabulously wealthy corporate chieftains and their shabby acolytes and enablers in government. While Wall Street is handing out billions in bonuses, American families are struggling with joblessness, home foreclosures and rampant debt. The economic woes are exacting a fierce toll on family life, and children are taking a big hit - emotionally, psychologically and otherwise. One effect of the Great Recession, according to a recent series in The Times, has been a big jump in the number of runaway children, many of them living in dangerous conditions on the street. Family homelessness is also up, and poverty is increasing. More than a third of all black children in America are poor, and that tragic percentage is expanding. The outlook for America's working classes is bleak. A few weeks ago a New York cab driver nearly broke down in tears as he told me he'd had to apply for food stamps to continue feeding his family. A sense of urgency may be starting to emerge. With President Obama's jobs summit approaching, representatives from labor and progressive organizations gathered in Washington to warn of the lasting damage being inflicted on the prospects of young Americans by the continuing employment crisis. Millions of youngsters like those who were suffused with such delight at the Thanksgiving Day parade are being buffeted by an economy that is eroding their quality of life, curtailing their educational opportunities and undermining their prospects for economic success as adults. That more attention is not being paid to this growing disaster is criminal. Groups represented at the meeting in Washington, which was sponsored by the Economic Policy Institute, included the A.F.L.-C.I.O., the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the N.A.A.C.P., the National Council of La Raza and the Center for Community Change. Among other things, they urged the administration and Congress to provide substantial additional relief to economically distressed state and local governments, to invest in much more widespread infrastructure improvements, and to engage in some direct government creation of jobs. All of that, in my view, would amount to just a first step. We remain stuck in an economic model that not only permits but encourages the continued existence of financial institutions that are too big to fail, which means that when one or more of them fail - as will surely happen at some point - we'll again be rushing to "save the system" by bailing them out at taxpayers' expense. The system remains grotesquely unfair, with the deck stacked against working people, even as we're desperate to have them sustain the economy with nonstop consumer purchases. Keep in mind that at the start of the recession the collective wealth of the richest 1 percent of Americans was greater than that of the bottom 90 percent combined. The economic and political clout of that bottom 90 percent has only weakened since then. We still have a hideously dysfunctional public education system, one that has mastered the art of manufacturing dropouts and functional illiterates. We have not even begun to turn that around. We still keep fighting tragic, futile, stupid wars, squandering lives and resources and creative energies that could be put to use right here at home, where the need for nation-building is beyond critical. The U.S. should be a paradise for young people. We need big changes in this country, approaches that are constructive, creative and fundamentally new, if we're going to give those smiling kids I saw on Thanksgiving Day the kind of society they deserve.

These children, who were separated from their families, endured neglect, exploitation, brutality and, in some instances, sexual abuse, poor health care and education; many came from British families struggling with severe poverty or from institutions in the UK. Once in Australia, institutions changed their names and told them their parents were dead, erasing their personal history and creating a loss of identity. Survivors, in their forties and older, cried when Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull delivered their statements of apology. According to Rudd, "Great evil has been done." The British government is considering issuing an apology for its role in this tragedy. One wonders, when will the healing tears flow in the US as our nation hears an apology for slavery and the centuries of racism and discrimination against black Americans? Disgruntled says: Nobody was surprised when President Obama ordered an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. Some, especially those who oppose wars of empire and voted for him, may have been surprised that he sounded like George W. Bush when he invoked 9-11 and the threat of al-Qaida as justification for continuing to remain in the "graveyard of empires," as Afghanistan is known. While Obama played the game of being deliberative for public relations purposes, only a fool would believe the decision to continue this imperial war was not made long before General McChrystal broke protocol and declared what he believed needed to be done to win this war ? thousands of more bodies. This war in Afghanistan will go the way of the war waged by the Soviet Union and the warmongers before it that sought to tame this rugged region. Those in power, the ones that command Obama, will no doubt get richer for spending US treasure and squandering lives under the pretext of denying al-Qaida a safe haven, while plundering Afghanistan's natural resources, but the US will not win this war, because there is nothing to win. US national security is not threatened by the people of Afghanistan. Disgruntled feels: Desperation! The black middle class has all but disappeared down the rabbit hole of the Great Recession. There is a great deal of speculation that this class of blacks will not reappear any time soon. And, with its absence from the US economic landscape, the gap between rich and poor, black and white grows. Disproportionately victimized by a society that rewards skin color before skills and education, blacks are in a state of depression, while the first black president routinely recites statistics suggesting the economy is on the rebound. There is a disconnect, since he talks of a rising tide lifting all boats, while blacks own no such asset and are treading water to remain afloat! In this season that is supposed to be filled with holiday cheer, peace, love and happiness, there is a sense of desperation in black communities across this country. Anyone who believes there will be no repercussions lacks a sense of history and a basic understanding of what happens when a society's poverty and misery are disproportionately borne by minority groups. Desperation has a tendency to explode and its shrapnel does not engage in discrimination. Mailbox: E-Mails, Faxes and Phone Calls Email Nightwolfjw at aol.com... Jay Winter Nightwolf's Native American Winter Relief Project 2009 Continues ...We Need Your Help NOW!!! The poorest people in America live on American Indian Reservations and communities. Many of our elders, children and families go without adequate housing, which most of us would never consider occupying. There is very little, if any wholesome food and no money to buy propane to stay warm this winter. Temperatures fall below zero with a wind chill factor of as low 85 below in North & South Dakota. Every year we lose elders from hypothermia and hunger. The average life expectancy of men that live under these conditions is around 47 years of age. Every year American Indian people find themselves in desperate living situations, depending on your kindness and generosity. For the past 5 years Jay Winter Nightwolf and his team has delivered warm coats and clothing, shoes and boots, new socks and under garments, hats and scarves and gloves, sweaters, food, medical supplies, and spent monies to fill propane tanks for heat to the people of Pine Ridge Reservation, Rosebud Reservation, Kyle, Wamblee, Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, Yankton, Sissleton Reservation of South Dakota, Three Affiliated Tribes of North Dakota, the elders of the Arapahoe Tribe of Oklahoma. And it is our hope that we will make this happen again this year.

But there is ample evidence that racial inequities remain when it comes to employment. Black joblessness has long far outstripped that of whites. And strikingly, the disparity for the first 10 months of this year, as the recession has dragged on, has been even more pronounced for those with college degrees, compared with those without. Education, it seems, does not level the playing field - in fact, it appears to have made it more uneven. College-educated black men, especially, have struggled relative to their white counterparts in this downturn, according to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment rate for black male college graduates 25 and older in 2009 has been nearly twice that of white male college graduates - 8.4 percent compared with 4.4 percent. ***************************************************************** For comments, questions or to unsubscribe, email thedish at ga.net. ***************************************************************** From jbatec at yahoo.com Sun Dec 6 19:12:53 2009 From: jbatec at yahoo.com (Judy Miriga) Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2009 16:12:53 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] pray for my family In-Reply-To: <01A7CEFE76646D4BBA97ACE1E9EE79EC173B0535@BARUAPEPE.kcbad.com> Message-ID: <988955.20106.qm@web57301.mail.re1.yahoo.com> Kuria, ?

When Others Grieve People should never have to suffer loss alone. Yet, how do you comfort those who hurt? I think that offering genuine comfort to another is one of the most important things we can do for others. And sometimes one of the most difficult. Experts tell us, among other things, to simply say, "I'm sorry" or "I love you." They warn us against trying explain away the death or loss; against theologizing or philosophizing about it. Often, the less said, the better, so long as you are present, you care and you listen. American poet Edgar Guest told of a neighbor by the name of Jim Potter. Mr. Potter ran the drug store in the neighborhood where Edgar Guest lived. Their relationship was cordial, if not deep. Mostly they smiled and exchanged greetings when they happened to see one another. One tragic night the poet's first-born child died. He felt crushed and overcome with grief. Several days after the death, Guest had reason to go to the drug store run by his neighbor. When he entered, Jim Potter motioned for him to come behind the counter. "Eddie," he said, "I really can't express to you the great sympathy that I have for you at this time. All I can say is that I am terribly sorry, and if you need for me to do anything, you can count on me." Many years later Edgar Guest reflected on that encounter. He said, "Just a person across the way -- a passing acquaintance. Jim Potter may have long since forgotten that moment when he extended his hand to me in sympathy, but I shall never forget it -- never in all my life. To me it stands out like the silhouette of a lonely tree against a crimson sunset." As the poet thought back to that unhappy time, one vivid memory of a brief and genuine moment of comfort still lingered years later. It was a moment that meant everything to a grieving father. Those who comfort others bring no less than a piece of heaven to earth.

It has happened again and as you can expect, it has started another fight among the Anglican believers in particular and by extension,the entire Christian community. I heard it over the radio this morning. An Anglican diocese in USA has appointed a lesbian as an associate clergy/bishop and the immediate reaction has been mixed-some approving and others condemning it. In their discussion this morning, one view was that as long as the diocese accepts it,that is OK.As I listened to the discussion,I would not help but wonder? 1. How does God react to all this kind of confusion? 2. Does the Bible count any more? 3. Are there any qualifications for those who accept the calling to be co workers in God's vineyard? 4. I know that such issues almost always turn ugly but how can we enter into a meaningful exchange of ideas? What's the solution to all these? Whose voice should we listen to?

Pay close attention what it says about electing the president! OK. There is 50% + 1vote. That?s where the catch is. Raila is building his base and so far things seem to go according to his plan. By Ruto parading Jirongo, Uhuru et al he is only succeeding in portraying YK92 group. This group reminds people of the dark days of Kanu and that?s where Ruto has failed. He is bound to fail again with his clamour for "generational change", while they were busy building empire with money from the public coffers in the name of sololo outlets, the people who were truly for "generational change" were either in detention without trial or in exile. People like Gitobu Imanyara, James Orengo, Ogego Ratego, Onyango Oloo, are better placed to talk about the 'generational change". Mutahi Ngunyi has all the right to write his articles. But of late he has been of the mark. It is coming clearly from his writing that his target is one. Raila Amolo Odinga. If he were fair, he would explain to us how Raila is bound to loose and the other sunday, how Ruto/Uhuru et al are bound to gain! He is executing the plans of his pay master. Remember he is a on hire just like Dick Morris! To me, Raila is in a different league. For how long will Ruto keep on regretting? Regretting about supporting Raila, regretting Uhuru loosing in 2002. Good leaders learn from such mistakes and they don't remind us everyday. On Mau, Kenyans are with RAO, the people's president!

I find this conclusion far fetched and without basis. You know violence is not only the preserve of muslims! Our Christian brothers in South Sudan fought against sharia law imposed on them without consultation by the Islamists of the North - now they are a free lot. All over Africa...Christians have fought for what they believe in. Some have gone to war on even petty matters..this to me is not cowardice! I do not need to be promised 72 virgins to die for what I believe in...I will die on my feet and not on my knees. The constitution should not include Kadhi courts or accord any religion special status. If we have to go to war over this matter so be it!

There seems to be an epidemic of Christians who begin well but finish poorly. Let me share seven crucial characteristics that will help you to finish well. 1. Intimacy With Christ. Our highest calling is to grow in our knowledge of Christ and to make Him known to others. Does our desire to know Christ exceed all other aspirations? If not, whatever is taking His place in the center of our affections must yield to Him if we are to know the joy of bearing spiritual fruit. A key secret of those who finish well is to focus more on loving Jesus than on avoiding sin. The more we love Jesus, the more we will learn to put our confidence in Him alone. 2. Fidelity With Spiritual Disciplines Spiritual disciplines such as prayer, fellowship, study, worship, and submission are not ends in themselves, but means to the end of intimacy with Christ and spiritual formation. When left to itself, however, any one of these disciplines tends to decline and decay. An infusion of directed intentionality and effort is necessary to sustain order and growth and to bring repeated times of personal renewal. 3. A Biblical Perspective On The Circumstances Of Life. Part of the purpose of our suffering and trials is to drive us to dependence on God alone. God responds by revealing more of Himself to us. This knowledge increases our faith and our capacity to trust His character and His promises through the times we do not understand His purposes and His ways. When we view our circumstances in light of God's character instead of God's character in light of our circumstances, we come to see that God is never indifferent to us, and that He uses suffering (He does on cause suffering) for our good so we will be more fully united to Christ. 4. A Teachable, Responsive, and Humble Spirit. Those who finish well maintain an ongoing learning posture through the seasons of their lives. Humility and responsive obedience are the keys to maintaining a teachable spirit. Humility is the disposition in which we displace self through the enthronement of Christ in our lives and realize that all of life is about trust in God. Obedience is the application of biblical faith in that which is not seen, and that which is not yet. As we mature in Christ, we learn to trust God's character and promises in spite of ambiguity or trials. 5. A Clear Sense Of Personal Calling. God has called each of us to a purposeful journey sustained by faithfulness and growing hope. This calling or vocation transcends our occupations and endures beyond the end of our careers. As we seek the Lord's guidance in developing a personal vision and clarity of mission, we move beyond the level of tasks and accomplishments to the level of the purpose for which we were created. 6. Healthy Relationships with Resourceful People. Relationships such as spiritual mentoring, servant leadership, and personal and group accountability are valuable resources that encourage, equip, and exhort. People who finish well do not do so without the caring support of other growing members of the body of Christ. These relationships help us to increase in intimacy with Christ, maintain the needed disciplines, clarify our long-term perspective, sustain a teachable attitude, and develop our purpose and calling. 7. Ongoing Ministry Investment In The Lives Of Others. Spirit-filled living requires us to discover and develop the spiritual gifts we have received and exercise them through the Spirit's power for the edification of others. Believers who finish well are marked by ongoing outreach and sacrificial ministry for the good of other people. Those who squander the resources, gifts, experiences, and hard-learned insights God has given them by no longer investing them in the lives of others soon wither and withdraw. What does it take to finish well? Taking to heart the above seven characteristics will help you finish well day by day, as you "run with endurance the race that is set before [you]" (Heb. 12:1). -- REACH OVER 14,900 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Saturday, December 5?2009?at?18:17 In Summary * The Raila-Ruto ?catfight? has its owners. The latter is a mere hangman This week did not make sense to me. Kofi Annan arrived on an irrelevant mission. And then he said nothing new. All he did was whine about a local tribunal. And on this, the man does not get it. We have said no to a local tribunal. Period. But if he is unhappy with us, he is free to set up a ?local tribunal? for Kenya in ?Kumasi? or wherever he comes from. It is that simple. Then there was the constitutional review debate. This one is dying. For some reason, it did not even pick. It has no oomph, no energy! And I blame the lethargy on the draft constitution. It has no legs; no future. But in the razzmatazz of the week, two things stood out. One, the Raila-Ruto ?cat fight?. Two, the looming shadow of Moreno-Ocampo and his expected announcement before Christmas. If the week was confused, it is because of the two things. And, in my view, they are related. Allow me to explain. Raila Odinga is a slow-punctured revolutionary. And the tragedy is this: He is in denial. But on this, I do not blame him. The brother is keeping it real! As the Chinese say: ?? if you want to shrink something, you must first expand it. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish?. This is the ?Odinga tragedy?. As Prime Minister, he is ??expanding?? and flourishing. Unfortunately, he has become a balloon. Bloated, flighty and full of air. Soon, he will be popped. And, in my view, this is deliberate. Even in the Holy Bible, they fattened a lamb. The fat lamb believed it was the best until they sacrificed it. The ancient tribes did the same. They looked for the finest human being. Then they fed him, oiled him and elevated his ego. And when the time was ripe, they offered him to the gods. Like in ancient times, Mr Odinga is being fattened. The tragedy is that he is enjoying the ?fattening?. Soon, they will present him to the ?gods? as a sacrifice. And William Ruto will be the happy ?High Priest? to perform the ceremony. In sum, the Raila-Ruto ?cat fight? has its owners. Mr Ruto is just a front; a mere hangman. But if this is true, who are the owners of this ??fight??? There are two layers of owners. The first is vicious, the second is cautious. The vicious layer has nothing to lose ?except its chains?. This is the group mentioned in the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights report. On this list we have Mr Uhuru Kenyatta, Mr William Ruto and Mr Najib Balala. If Mr Moreno Ocampo relied on this report, the three have reason to panic. And in panic, it is only reasonable for them to form a ?brotherhood? of sorts. The ?Mau rebellion? is therefore an excuse; a platform that brings them together. Unfortunately, Mr Odinga is in denial. He cannot read the ploy. Yet in the scheme of things, he is the target; the fat sacrificial lamb to be offered to the political ?gods?. But why do I say so? I have two reasons. One, he is seen as a traitor by the Kalenjin Nation. If they fought in 2008, it was because of him. But when Moreno Ocampo came to town, he disowned them. And for this, they can no longer call him ?Mibei?. The fond nickname is no more. In fact, the fallout between him and the Kalenjin Nation is total. Now they must send him to the gallows. And their hangman is Mr Ruto. The second reason involves others: those afraid of the ?Ocampo process?. Their options are few. To buy time, they must destabilise the coalition government without collapsing it. And the best way to do this is to bring Mr Odinga down. The tool for doing so is a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister. This vote requires 112 MPs. If the Mau harambee could summon 56 MPs overnight, it can double the figure in a month or so. But what does such a vote mean? Would it collapse the government? Would it lead to an election? Zero! The option for a snap election was removed. It is not in the Accord; not in the constitution. If the coalition government collapses, President Kibaki takes it all. No election; no contest. Similarly, if Mr Odinga is removed, ODM would have to look for a new party leader. Constitutionally, the new leader would be appointed Prime Minister. And if they fail to get a new leader, the President can decide to do without a Prime Minister. After all, Mr Moi operated without a Vice-President for eight months. In sum, if Mr Odinga is sacrificed, the country would move on! Let us consider the second layer now. In this group we have everyone Mr Odinga has betrayed. And when you summon the evidence, he has betrayed almost everyone. In political science, we love such people. In real life, however, they get killed; sacrificed to the ?gods?. Beginning with the president, he would love to sacrifice this man. If he was not a decent man, he would support a vote of no confidence in the PM. This would declare him the ?winner? of the 2007 election rather late. It would bring an end to power sharing constitutionally. The vice-president would support this to settle an old score. Mr Odinga betrayed him when he decided to run for president in 2007. As for Mr Kenyatta, the Prime Minister is a foe. He betrayed him in 2002 when he left Kanu to join the Rainbow Coalition. If he had not done so, Mr Kenyatta would be president today. The wounds of Mr Ruto and the Rift Valley MPs are still fresh. Their betrayal is ?now?! They would support such a move. And the question to the prime minister therefore is this: where are your troops? My reading is this: He has none. If this is true, he is being fattened as a sacrificial lamb. Like a good sacrifice, the sins of the post- election violence will be forgiven if we sacrifice him. This is why he must be afraid. Very afraid!

My only concern is that he has been there for 30 years now, still playing politics. i think our country need a CEO sort of person to do two things: i. Manage people well - ensure productivity, eliminate corruption, reduce crime ii. Sort our economy so that it creates high value jobs for everyone. I doubt Raila's generation have any new revolutionary ideas. We need an Obama type of person but i am aware there could be none other than the PM right now but isnt 3 years a long time?? I am keeping my fingers crossed. I have always felt the current speaker Marende could measure up as our ideal CEO. Dan.

This is a long one, but if you can stay through, then it may well introduce you to viewing and reading the book from a broader angle. I think, though the Bible is Holy, when one is reading?the book,?it should not be treated as a matter of Life and death, as it is meant to bring peace joy and happiness to the reader. I like?the second name because it reminds me of my youth during Christmas time. That is when many Ngokos would fall and we the children were happy all the time till January, when school and the "mugunda" work?set in? ? Anyways, let us go back to the Holy Book and Spirituals. In my view the Bible is a book that cannot be read in abstract. I mean, you cannot choose to read the book in total disconnect, as though those things written, did not take place. For me I believe that what is written in the Bible took place right here on earth. So when we read the book, we must relate it to those events that took place and the geographical locations where?it all?happened.. If this is what is spirituality, or divinity, then let it be. But if one reads the Bible and fails to connect it to the historical events, then that person fails to comprehend or to appreciate the wholesomeness and the message in the book. ? For me I chose to read the Book and to relate everything in it to those historical events. For example, the teachings or recorded teachings in the Book of Mark, were originally inscribed on "plates" of stones. These stones are "Physically" stored at St Georges (Mar Girgis, by Locals), Church in North Western part of El Khahera (Cairo, Egypt). I have gone into the Church and touched these Stones with my own hands. I went even further?and requested for translation of some writings on some of the stones. Unfortunately, many of the "Keepers", were not fluent at all in translating the Hebrew language that was used to inscribe the stones. But reassuringly they told me that the book of St Mark is a summary of?the text "INSCRIBED" on those stones. They then referred me to a Prof El Bitar, an Egyptology Professor at El Shams University in Cairo?for full translation. I could not get to physically meet with the Professor, but on Telephone conversation, he confirmed what I was told at the Church. ? That Church also holds a special "Tree of Memory." I gathered that Mary, the mother of Jesus lived in Egypt in Exile after she ran away from being persecuted by Romans. She lived with her young child there. The tree became known as the tree of Mary. Because of curiosity and my interest of asking many questions, a number of keepers told me that if I wanted more information about Hebrews, then I should visit?Jerusalem, which I regret I have not done.? ? I therefore concluded that the events in the Bible, must?physically have happened?here on earth. So when I read the Bible I must relate and try to connect it?to the real events, and where those events took place, plus the circumstances that led to them taking place. Many contributors here seem as though they have confined themselves to reading the Bible in the abstract, then believing that by doing this some "Spiritual Connection" may consume them, after which they will be able to see these events clearly. I cannot dismiss this nor do?I have the authority to do so. I say this because there are people out there, who have the very powerful Spirits bestowed in them. Such Spirits (Holy) guides these people to see what is beyond the ordinary occurrence. I have come across two such people in my life,?who have the power to read and to decode the?writings in the such books as?Revelations. They can guide one into seeing through Visions that were seen by for Example Prophet Daniel, thousands of years ago but which are?presently coming to pass. ? Yes, these kinds of people are there,?yet when they talk, the masses ignore them, just?in the same manner as?they ignored Prophet Jeremiah, who continuously reminded them to follow the Laws. On the other hand a great majority who claim to be consumed by these holy spirits are just but "False Prophets". Jesus himself knew about it and predicted that there shall come many false prophets. It therefore believe Mr Wangoko, that?it does not require Spirituality, divinity or anything special for many of us to read and connect the message in the Book. Many a times it only requires simple brain to read and to be able to understand. ? My mind also tells me that, the more we make it a mystery, the more we will never understand it. We have to demystify it, to be able to understand the book. For example; Many of the Prophets in the book "claim to be 'Black'. Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Samuel, David, King Solomon, etc. say in the Book, that they are Black. Yet when you ask some of the readers and even Pastors, they will deny this. So which one is correct, the written message or the message from the reader? Sample this also; 'If King David claims that "I am consumed by my Blackness," meaning he was overwhelmed by himself being black, why would someone take it from David to translate or say otherwise? And if David was Black and?Jesus was from the House of David, would?Jesus be expected to be different?from David??So then, how did we end up with a Caucasian picture of Jesus. Don't you think there is a disconnect on that occurrence ? Further, if Mary and child escaped and went to hide amongst Egyptians (Black people), would they have been Caucasian??And if they were Caucasian as has been portrayed in many Pictures, would it have taken the Roman Soldiers a long time not to notice a Caucasian Woman with a child amongst black people, considering?that the Roman soldiers roamed about just everywhere?? So it is highly probable that Mary and the Child were black,?which made them to blend?with the black population. As such it was not easy to spot or pick them out amongst the crowd. Spirituality or no spirituality, I think this would just needs?common sense to get the answer. ? A number of people have been indoctrinated to believe that when it comes to Religious and or spiritual matters,?we must not question but just believe. This to some degree is good, until a lie is concocted and blended in. The believer will therefore continue to believe in that Lie, to be part of the truth. And since he/she is supposed to believe without questioning, the lie will then come to be the the truth. ? In my life, I have always had this nudging urge to ask, WHY?? My mother, (peace be upon her) always found me bothersome in stupidly asking "why'" on a lot of?issues. I was never satisfied to be told that, a man was found to have defiled the land, and so he was fined to bring a "black bull" to be slaughtered so that the land could be cleansed. I asked why,?and since my father was away working in Dar-es-salaam, there was nobody to answer my questions. So my mother taking the role of a Father ended up telling me that that is the way it is done. Neither was I contented when everyone in the Village had to wait for my Grandfather, Marenya Komondi, to start the Planting season, before anybody else in the village?could put seedlings on their farms. I asked? WHY? And I was told just to believe. ? Time went on,?and life in the village took a different turn, for many embraced the new found religion of Mzungu. They got saved and as it turned out, Mzungus's religion told them to?abandon the ways of the Clan for those ways were heathen. And so life went on. Nobody in the village no longer waited for my Grandfather to do what they call in our local language "GOLO KODHI." Everyone went doing things in their own ways. Many parents turned to the Catholic missions and took their kids there, where they were forced to take "catechism" Katkaism) as it was?known to the?villagers. And so many kids recited this Katkaism even when they went to?"freehold" toilets.? It was the in thing for Kids. One day out of curiosity I accompanied other Kids to go to "KOPERE", the nearest mission to my home.?The father there was called "O'PERE"?an Irishman. ? When I arrived there, everything looked?strange to me.? I was introduced as a new boy by my friends. The father then put me in a group with other "New-ees" and proceeded to introduce us to this Katkaism. When the "MISA" was over I was so glad to be headed on a three mile walk back to the Village. Most important I kept asking WHY? Why all that trouble??Couldn't life just be simple. I then proceeded to tell my mother about my escapades at?Kopere, only to draw her wrath and a beating for having abandoned her faith at the Protestant "Anglican Church" to embrace the bad Catholic. But even after the canes I still asked Why? Because I wanted to understand?all these happenings. ? Unfortunately I never got a clear answer. More?confusion for me happened in 1970 when my old Grandfather passed on at a ripe old age of died. He?must have been?111 years for he was born in "the other year mwaka 59" (1859). At his funeral there was controversy for who to bury him. No church wanted to do so, for he was not a member of any of these "Good for Nothing Mzungu Churches". One man of God, who was his long time friend called Simon Nyende (peace be upon him), and who had tried persuading my Grandfather to be born again in vain, declared that he would bury my Grandfather with prayers. Simon (pronounced See-mon) had Parkinson syndrome, but the Villagers joked that God made him to shake all over. When he made the announcement, he sort of burst out that I......have.....de....de...CIDED to bury my friend . ? For me I still asked why? I wanted to know why it was difficult for the churches to bury my grandfather, especially considering the fact that I had heared,?in the Church that God was for all. Why then were they discriminating? Why? I kept asking but nobody offered me an answer. ? In the last ten years,? I have tried?reading the Holy Book, while trying to relate the events to the?geographical locations. It has compelled me to do some little research, which has led me to gain some little knowledge on?issues of the Holy Book. The book apparently?puts a lot of emphasis on the Children of Israel. I?therefore had the urge to?find out who these children of Israel are, and where they are located at the present time.?I also had to try to find who this Israel was?and where he lived when he was alive. ? Now, when I did this,?I did?it not because I was looking for spiritual empowerment,?but I, on the other hand,?wanted to have a clear picture, plus the genealogy of these Israelites.?What I can tell you for now, is that the Children of Israel are scattered in all Nations just like the Most High promised them, if they failed to follow the Laws. For some time now, they have been lost and nobody knows exactly who they are and their true Identity. But one way to trace them is to go back to the book of Leviticus, 26: In Verse 37, Israelites are?told that if?they fail to observe the Laws, then they will will be made too weak to defend themselves. "?And ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies."?And they will be scattered? among all the people from one end of the earth to the other, to serve people, and other Gods that they have not known, Duet:?28:63,-68. And the Lord will bring you back into Mizraim again with ships and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for Bondmen. >From there, check the present History, going back 400years. Find out which people were bound like this, and taken back into slavery, then you will probably have found these lost children of Israel. Try also to find out who were the Bondsmen? ? This then led me to another question; 'who were the Gentiles'? And where did the Gentiles live? and where are they at the moment in time? And why was Yehoshwah against their ways? To find answers to these, I made some quick reference to Geography, some old maps and locations in and around the present city of Jerusalem, for a lot of the Biblical History are based in this area. I then found out that the?Gentiles occupied the "ISLE OF THE GENTILES"? This area is what is now known as Europe. ? So ask yourself who are the occupants of this area? Then you will know who the Gentiles are. Now, Jesus would not be warning people not to follow the ways of these Gentiles, if he was one of them? For Example,?If I am a "Jango" I would not be advising people not to follow Jango ways, ama? So he must have been doing this because either Jesus was not from them or he had a special reason to do so.?Further intrigues;.....Galilee, Judah, Bethlehem and all other parts were occupied by or were under the rule of the Romans, under Governor ("Prefect") Pontias Pilate".?Don't forget that there were, High Priests, manning all Temples at this time, while the land was under the rule of King Herod. ? At this point Wangoko, if you?continue asking why, then you might be able to dig deeper, to find why, Jesus resented the High Priests, and why he warned the people not to go into the ways of the Gentiles. Why did Jesus say that he never came to change the Laws, but to perfect them. And which were these Laws that he was talking about? And Why did he not want to change them?........ Quick answer! These were the Laws that the Children of Israel were to follow as commanded by God. For God had promised that if they failed to follow these Laws, he would scatter them all over the land to unknown places and the Land would be laid desolate (barren) for generations, until such a time that?the children will see the light to return to him (in other words?start to follow the laws). ? Where are these?laws? The laws are clearly spell on the book of Levi (Leviticus) otherwise known in the Language of people from Kopere as "CHIKE".? Jesus did not and will not change these Laws as he knew that the Father wanted the Children of Israel to follow them just the way they were written. ? Obsessed or not obsessed by spiritual powers, this is what I understand. Anybody else is free to know what they want to know, but for me, this is what I understand. All I need to do is to follow the Laws. Same old laws that my Grandfather followed just as they are spell on the Book of Leviticus, till the Lord comes to Gather us so that he can TAKE US BACK TO THE PROMISED LAND, as is written on Numbers 33. At that point he will use the Blood of the "those" who have constantly defiled the land by spilling the blood there, to cleans the land, before putting the children back.? ? Keep Asking Why and be enlightened. ?

Like Sagongonyi, I have always had many questions about the Bible.? It may not have documented all that may be we may have wanted to know, at best, it has explain quite a number of things.? Most people will always tell you that you need the holy spirit to manifest in you for you to understand and so this compels me to ask, how and when does the Holy spirit manifest oneself? Sometimes I wonder, why does God make it so hard for us to interact with Him - I mean when can I know that am talking to God? People talk of believing through faith and actually, the Bible quotes a number of places that indicates that faith is the core to believing in God.? How do I vehemently believe in what I have not seen? Is it true that there are people who talk to God? Many pastors and people of strong faiths assert so. The book of Leviticus talks so much about the culture of Jews, I don't understand why we need there history.? Why do we need to read about things that may not apply to the contemporary societies?? Is it possible then that the Bible translators may have distorted the real messages from the Bible during the translations? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Regards, Muita Wangoko -Software/Web Developer --"Exigency is the matriarch of ingenious"-- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 11:25, jenniffer ndung'u wrote: This was very informative and good reading, I wish we could have more and more of such materials.?

We need the guidance of the holy spirit to understand the Bible. The bible also relates in all verses and does not contradict itself. Some verses in later books clarify some points that might not be clear in thers. ? I would like to point out that God created Adam and Eve and that is where we all descended from. The division of the people seems to start clearing when some(read Cain) rebelled agianst God and teh Jews, so reffered to as the children of God.?If you continue to read ypu will find that most of these other "people" like teh Amonites, Egyptians etc worshipped idols. The good news comes in the new testament when Christ came and did for us all. Paul tells that there is neither Jew nor Greek, circumcised or uncircumcised?for we have all been redeemed by Christ. God calls?all of us His Children as told by John in his later epistles only if we obey His commandments.

The credibility of the Bible has been questioned since days of old and even today it is still under scrutiny. Sadly, to a significant number, the Bible has been dismissed as either a book of myths or simply a documentation of the traditions of the Jews and therefore having nothing to do with us. Sad to say that the devil knows very well of the power of the word and is out to destroy, not the Bible, but the faith that makes it all work. I do not know what your perception of the Bible is, whether you see it as bias and unfair, corrupt or simply a way of controlling the minds of the poor, but to me it still remains to be the power of God. I have no way of convincing you through scientific facts, to make you come to the Lord, but I simply ask you to take the first step of faith. 1 Corinthians chapter one, depicts two kinds of people 1. Greeks; the learned, philosophers, those who seek wisdom and scientific facts; The Bible says this of them, "that they seek wisdom" so as to understand the message of the cross. They try to decipher, through humanly wisdom, the wisdom of God. They try to poke holes in the message of the cross and even try to advise God by suggesting what should have been done. Well, God says this "I will catch them in their wisdom" " I will make their wisdom foolishness" "the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate "Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 1 cor 1:20-21 2. The second type are the Jews; these are the religious types, the overly religious who seek not the Spirit but live by sight. These kind of people require a sign to believe. Yes, despite all the things that testify that there is God including their very being, they still require a sign, little knowing that even the devil can give them a sign and actually will give these signs according to the book of revelation and therefore succeed in deceiving these kinds of people. I do not know where you fall here, whether you are a "Greek" or a "Jew", or you are one of those who approached the Lord like a little child in faith. You see, I have really learned a lot from children ( believe me). I have found out that children are indeed like the kingdom of God. Of their faith, wow! Many many lessons have I learned, and continue to learn, form little children including forgiveness (you know how they fight and then make up and forget the whole thing ever happened, something difficult for adults) and more so faith. It is very easy to bring a child to God, and explain what God is all about and they believe and have faith in Him. Their prayer is usually simple, straightforward and sincere, not superficial at all. Off course am not saying that children are perfect, all am saying is that, just like Jesus said, we need to approach the kingdom of heaven, not by scientific philosophy, not by miraculous signs but by pure faith in God. Only then will we start seeing the power thereof. Once the credibility of the Bible is destroyed, people will be open to a full onslaught of false doctrine. People will be told of the return of Jesus and go out to see Him simply because they no longer walk by faith and no longer heed what the Bible warned. Big "evangelists/prophets/prea chers/apostles" will give faulty doctrine and perform miracles and therefore deceive many who walk by sight. And there will come one who brings fire from heaven and people will see him as the "messiah" then and believe. Those days are near, days when true Christians will be viewed as cult members because they will be few and will seem to be radical therefore hated by many. Days when true Christians will seem to go against the grain. Days when all will be after a perceived "peace" and find it in the hands of the devil. These Christians will seem to be anti peace, something the world craves for, peace, little knowing that this is only found in Jesus and He has left it to those who believe for it will be in them through trials and tribulations. My friends, the Bible is nothing but a novel for those without faith, but to those who have it, it is the power of God! The sons of scheva thought of the power of God as a tool to use but learned the hard way. And Hebrews says For we also have heard the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them because those who heard it did not combine it with faith. Hebrews 4:2 The just shall live by faith, just like the heroes of faith gone before us did. If you live by sight, what will happen when one comes in the name of the son of Man and perform wonders and miracles and sits in the temple of God? What will you believe when big "preachers" perform miracles yet violate the laws of God? Even today we have false preachers with large following, and these people feed from their preachers only and do not care to pray and read the word for themselves despite the Bible saying this to us, that "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to them" Hebrews 1:5 What will happen when scholars come to you with hard evidence "proving" that there is no God, and therefore the Bible is false? will you not become like a wave tossed and turned by the winds, a debased mind with no connection with the maker? Have you ever wondered why many will be deceived in the end times despite the fact that the Bible clearly warns and foretells of the events of the end time? Why does it say "to the extent of the elect being deceived, if that was possible"? This tells us of how great the deception will be. Too great for those who don't know their God to resist. And in 1 Thes 2, we are told that the secret power of lawlessness is already at work and he will be revealed in the proper time as an "angel" of light. People, in as much as we love our pastors and teachers, let us be like the Bereans. Let's quit swallowing all we are preached about without looking to see that the Bible is for it. The culture of "My pastor says this.." while good, should be accompanied by brethren who also test to see if all is from God. Today, we have philosophical words which are contrary to the word but have been adapted by Christians simply because they were spoken by great philosophers or are catchy. And also, lets remember that the devil is like a roaring lion and we should not be ignorant of his schemes. It's not all rosy as it seems but his secret works are already at work. Therefore, lets form a praying culture and Bible study in preparation, let us also go out in the field and warn our neighbors that the time is ripe and the owner is knocking at the door to see what we have done with His Son. May God help us and give us discernment and wisdom to follow His ways to the end. Amen. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate. 1 cor 1:18-19 Kind Regards, Ken -- TOMMORROW!!

It is really professionally done. I am very impressed with the ways issues are presented.

"Thank you for keeping us continuously updated," Ms. Patricia Kimanthi, Public Relations Manager, Kenya Bureau of Standards 2009 in review: regulators that failed consumers Kenya's regulatory agencies continue to perform dismally, often to the detriment of consumers of goods and services as well as the national economy. Poor corporate governance at the institutions combined with partisan political board appointments have reduced regulatory agencies to guzzlers of taxpayers' revenue with little value to show.

Whose hirelings could they be ? ? These Guys must not purport to know what? is good for Kenyans from other regions.?Can the Guys tell us what is so good in a presidential system of govt and what their fears are for power sharing between a president who has no majority in parlaiment and a prime-minister whose party has majority in parliament ? If the Guys are out of favour with proposals in the draft, then one free to have an imperial govenor in their respective regions-THE COE did sterling job-----Kenyans exactly wanted a constitution and system of govt where power is shared, where political parties are stengthened and where coaltions can be rewarded. But accoriding to their view of one-man one vote , some bigger tribes will continue dominating others unfairly in matters of govt and state.This is the direction Kenya must avoid.? ? Can these Guys tell Kenyans where in the world, there is head of govt?with minority in parliament????? ? Who told Rev. Karanja that he must be spokesperson of Kenyans on matters constitutional ? ? Why and how come -it is him who must find fault in what the COE has done-the harmonised draft Constitution?? ? Could these fellows be hirelings of? some Octagenerians in govt-who cannot imagine change in Kenya ? The beneficiaries of imperial presidency?since Kenya attained political independence ? ? Finally can the two Guys tell Kenyans whether they can truly vote for any presidential candidate outside central Kenya ???? ? The 2007 BUNGLED general elections showed that Kenyans must find a way of taming tribal bigotry-No ethinic group however big or great?in numbers (human population)??must think of always scheming to dominate others-I would love a scenario where Raila? Odinga for example, supports a Kenyan from a minority tribe for a post of executive prime-minister and be head of govt. ? THE COE Must stand firm and conduct an agrresive campaign for the draft as it stands-Kenyans cannot afford a presidential system that favours big tribes-a system that? entreched tribal wrangling for presidency over the years, a winner take it all system. -- TOMMORROW!!

The selections were announced at the opening ceremony of the World Conference of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, held in Cancun, Mexico, today. Ms Chesire is a leading international advocate who has played a critical role in spurring awareness worldwide of the dangers of TB/HIV co-infection. A nutritionist by profession, she learned she was HIV-positive in 1992 and was the first female health professional in Kenya to publicly acknowledge her status. In 2000 she was diagnosed with TB, which resulted in several surgeries and a seven-month hospital stay. She has transformed the experience of surviving TB into a passionate commitment to help achieve TB prevention and treatment for all people living with HIV, no matter who they are or where they live. She served as the first patient representative on the Stop TB Partnership Coordinating Board; and has worked closely with RESULTS as an adviser and spokesperson on a number of key advocacy initiatives in Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Professor Cole, Director of the Global Health Institute at the *Ecole Polytechnique F?d?rale de Lausanne * in Switzerland, is responsible for groundbreaking research on* Mycobacterium tubercul*osis, the microorganism that causes TB*.* In 1998 Dr Cole directed a team that determined the complete genetic sequence of *M tuberculosis -- *a piece of work that has been fundamental for the development of new drugs, diagnostics and vaccines*.* He also has done pioneering work on the evolution of *M tuberculosi*s*,* the mechanisms through which it causes disease and how it becomes resistant to drugs. His team is currently leading an international project to discover new drugs to treat TB. He is the former Scientific Director of the Institute Pasteur and* **Chevalier dans l?Ordre de la L?gion d?Honneur* (Services to Science). The winners will each receive the Kochon Medal and will divide the prize money, an award of US$ 65 000. There were also two award recipientslast year: Dr Jaime Bayona of Socios en Salud in Peru and Professor Emeritus Denis Mitchison, formerly of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School in Hammersmith (now Imperial College), United Kingdom.

As we end the year, it?s good we take stock. LYP team, just like any self ? directed team, has been evolving through the kawaida stages of team development. From Forming >> Storming >> Norming >> Performing. 1. *Forming*. A collection of YPs came together to form LYP. The ice is being carefully broken, we are introducing ourselves and we are generally quite, polite and everyone is getting the measure of the others, sort of sizing them up. 1. *Storming*: Then conflicts started to emerge as people display their attitudes and set boundaries. This is an inevitable phase as we get to know each others in the team and find our own identity. 1. *Norming*: norms are developed as members understand each others strength, weakness and patterns of behaviors. The group now starts to function as a team and we start accomplishing a few tasks, albeit slowly. 1. *Performing*. The team starts to function and perform. This is largely due to year long accumulation of trust, respect for each other, and understanding & combined with a common sense of purpose & some successes. As we end the year, which coincides to our one year of existence as a club, I think we have evolved through the first 3 stages of group dynamics, and only last month or so we entered into our the forth stage, *performing*. This signifies good things for the coming year 2010, as the team *then starts excelling & performing and its very best*. Joined by common purpose and bonded by friendship, I do believe it?s one of the very few team in Kenya well position with right mindset, toolset & skillset to make the real change we really need in our society. * * We have held a total of 19 events this year (13 networking sessions, 5 social events and 1 community service project). Below are the most active team members. *Fname* *Mname* *Lname* *Profession* *Attendance* * * * * * * * * * Index* 1. FaustoFrancis Mwangi Chege Software Programmer 19 1.

Abraham Maslow - who is famed for having developed the 'The hierarchy of needs theory' which he later published in the book The Motivation & Personality 2. Fredrick Hertzberg of the ?hygiene-motivation theory? who have written the books Motivation To Work and Work And The Nature Of Man. 3. John Adair who wrote Understanding motivation 4. Douglas McGregor - Of Theory X and Theory Y. 5. Elton Mayo of Hawthorne Experiments 6. Victor Vroom of the Expectancy Theory in he later published in the book Work & Motivation Their seminar work is very illuminating and after reading them you can see people in to their bare details, what motivates them to do what they do, behave the way they do etc. On the business Currently I only have 2 books than I feel may be of help, The Concise Adair on Team Building and Motivation who have explained some of the above theories in the book and on HR I would recommend Human.Resource.Management.-.9Ed.pdf I will try to see if I can get individual materials for all of the above works, after receipt of a commitment fee :-) Total cost, just 2K for whole job.

Little things like yeast. Little things like kindness. Douglas, a fifteen year old boy who lived in Missouri (USA), had been feeling badly for several days. His mother Donna took him to the emergency room where blood tests revealed one of the most frightening things a parent can learn about a child. Her son was diagnosed with leukemia. Douglas' life changed. He began a routine of blood transfusions, spinal and bone marrow tests and chemotherapy. The physical trauma was one thing, but he also became depressed. And who wouldn't? He lost is former life, his healthy self. All of those exciting dreams and plans a young boy has for his future vanished, and in their place all he could see was somebody with cancer. Somebody who may or may not live long. Somebody whose life would be very different than before. He had a good hospital and good doctors. But it he did not have hope. And without it, he was in serious jeopardy. Douglas' aunt called a florist close to the hospital. She wanted the sales clerk to be aware of the flower arrangement's significance. "I want the planter to be especially attractive. It's for my teenage nephew who has leukemia," she told the clerk. "Oh," said the salesclerk. "Let's add some fresh-cut flowers to brighten it up." When the floral arrangement arrived Douglas opened the envelope and read the card from his aunt. Then he saw something unusual. It was another card. The second card read: "Dear Douglas, I took your order. I work at (this floral shop). I had leukemia when I was seven years old. I'm 22 years old now. Good luck. My heart goes out to you. Sincerely, Laura." Douglas smiled. He finally felt some real hope. And why not? Here was a person who also had cancer and new she was 22 and working! If she could do it, so could he. Douglas found what he needed. He found the will to live. Little things make a big difference. Little things like kindness and encouragement and hope. Little things all of us can give. And it doesn't take much to make a big difference. Stay blessed!

Wow, who would have imagined this from you? Certainly not me. Raila is?hi own worst enemy in politics?and I think personally. His antics are fast catching up to him and before long the man won't have any bridge left to cross on; he has burned way too many and accumulated too much baggage for his own good; very unfortunate and self destructive; why, we all wonder except for the fact that some of us recognized this long time ago! --- On Mon, 12/7/09, barack abonyo wrote: From: barack abonyo Subject: [YP_Ke] BEWTEEN RAILA AND RUTO WHO REALLY WON THIS ROUND To: "youngprofessionals" , "africa-oped at yahoogroups.com" , "african press" , editor at nation.co.ke, editorial at eastandard.net, "editorafricanexecutive" , publiceye at publiceyesite.org, publiceyet at aol.com, "jaluo jaluo" , progressiveminds at yahoogroups.com, "nyciv" , "newvision" Date: Monday, December 7, 2009, 5:14 PM Waw what a crowd at Tononoka! As many have said, "Raila is fighting back". However, the real question is, "Raila is fighting who back?". I?am thrilled to answer this question. In brief, Raila is fighting himself. ? After working very hard to consolidate a pwerhouse in the ODM,?Raila embarked on a desperate move to dismatle it.?First he disolved the pentagon then declared himself the sole party leader. Things backfired and the pentagon had to be reconstituted. Notwithstanding the damage had been done. Then came the issue of youths rotting in jail after the postelection violence to which Ngilu was almost kicked out softly. Immediately after that?the raging storm was still on, the hague and Ruto followed by Ruto and the maize scandal arrived. Ruto was not blind he saw his friend Raila?was able to rescue him but instead Raila cut off the rope?that Ruto held on to let him?slip and sink into the?rot?which both?Raila?and Ruto created together. A friend in need is a friend indeed. But at the same time, the person who can bring you down faster is your friend. To Ruto, Raila proved to be a betrayer rather than a friend. Raila became a backstabber. Raila chose to reallign himself with those who fought?both Ruto and Raila?at the expence of those who shed their blood and lost their lives for him. In this case one cannot blame the son of Samoei for saying enough is enough when he met his tribesmen walking their donkeys toward the roadside where their half naked buttocks was being eaten by the mau cold. ? Just why Raila concentrated on this may only be known to himslef. "Was?he?fighting the right war or right enemy". In my view, these fights were completely unecessary for Raila. He should have not initiated it. He needed Ruto as much as Ruto needed him. Ruto tried to hang in there but the assault was too much. Respect was already lost and Raila was not consulting Ruto on anything including things in Ruto's Rift Valley tuff.?However Raila still?needed Ruto for 2012 and by Raila constantly fighting Ruto, he was simply shooting himself in the foot. ? The reason for this war has not been understood even by Raila closest associates. Many would prefer to keep Ruto in ODM because it makes it easy to fight the real opposition. Just why Raila did this baffles many. Was Ruto a threat to the possibility of?the son of?Jaramogi?being chosen the ODM presidential candidate? I doubt it because in ODM Ruto is no match for Raila. Was Ruto threatening to dislodge Raila's silent dog, Musalia Mudavadi? May be. Was he afraid? Ruto could testify and mention?him at the hague hence Raila wanted to dissociate himself from Ruto early? Possibly. All in all my best gues is that Raila saw a threat in Ruto and chose to kick him out earlier rather than later. It suffices to say that the relationship is over. This is just a rerun between Raila and Wamalwa or Raila and Kalonzo. It is going to be impossible for Raila and Ruto to come back together or if they come together, they will still backstab each other. Like Kalonzo, Ruto is going to be the force that blocks Raila from presidency. He has some votes. People should not forget that. ? Now the fight began, procceded and the dust is settling a little bit. Who won and how? I still contend that Raila lost but Ruto did not?gain what Raila lost. This is why. In 2012, Raila got majority of the votes from Rift Valley. Whatever Raila does and however he twists it, he will not get the same ammount of votes from this region if he does not work it with Ruto. Infact he will get less than 30% of the votes he got last time if Kosgey and Sirma stick with him. The Rift Valley was the swing vote for Raila, if he cannot bag 70% of this vote, it will become near impossible to clinch the presidency irrespective of how many people show up at Tononoka. The winning votes are not at Tononoka, it is in the Rift Valley. The coast, western and Eastern are always didivided. Raila will not be a clear winner of?2012 elections and this is what Ruto was working on after being mistreated and he has successfully done it. ? The only lousy thing Ruto did was to join CAMPS too fast. The Kalenjins are very weary of another Kikuyu leadership and Ruto should have known that a fight with Raila does not imply a friendship with Uhuru. The Kalenjins do not want to hear the name Kenyatta anywhere close to power hence as soon as Ruto jumped ship, his best bet was to build a new ship without Uhuru at the top.?However, incase Uhuru allow Ruto to be at the top of the ticket, Raila will have a real fight in the Rift Valley, central and Eastern. ? For?the Kenyan public these things are working in the right direction for a brand new leadership. It is time for the storm to push the takataka to the sea as Raila himself said?and a complete new leader emerge. Again I say, "It?is time for change" Dr. Barack Otieno Abonyo?

URL: From luo31 at hotmail.com Mon Dec 7 17:14:32 2009 From: luo31 at hotmail.com (barack abonyo) Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 22:14:32 +0000 Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] BEWTEEN RAILA AND RUTO WHO REALLY WON THIS ROUND Message-ID: Waw what a crowd at Tononoka! As many have said, "Raila is fighting back". However, the real question is, "Raila is fighting who back?". I am thrilled to answer this question. In brief, Raila is fighting himself. After working very hard to consolidate a pwerhouse in the ODM, Raila embarked on a desperate move to dismatle it. First he disolved the pentagon then declared himself the sole party leader. Things backfired and the pentagon had to be reconstituted. Notwithstanding the damage had been done. Then came the issue of youths rotting in jail after the postelection violence to which Ngilu was almost kicked out softly. Immediately after that the raging storm was still on, the hague and Ruto followed by Ruto and the maize scandal arrived. Ruto was not blind he saw his friend Raila was able to rescue him but instead Raila cut off the rope that Ruto held on to let him slip and sink into the rot which both Raila and Ruto created together. A friend in need is a friend indeed. But at the same time, the person who can bring you down faster is your friend. To Ruto, Raila proved to be a betrayer rather than a friend. Raila became a backstabber. Raila chose to reallign himself with those who fought both Ruto and Raila at the expence of those who shed their blood and lost their lives for him. In this case one cannot blame the son of Samoei for saying enough is enough when he met his tribesmen walking their donkeys toward the roadside where their half naked buttocks was being eaten by the mau cold. Just why Raila concentrated on this may only be known to himslef. "Was he fighting the right war or right enemy". In my view, these fights were completely unecessary for Raila. He should have not initiated it. He needed Ruto as much as Ruto needed him. Ruto tried to hang in there but the assault was too much. Respect was already lost and Raila was not consulting Ruto on anything including things in Ruto's Rift Valley tuff. However Raila still needed Ruto for 2012 and by Raila constantly fighting Ruto, he was simply shooting himself in the foot. The reason for this war has not been understood even by Raila closest associates. Many would prefer to keep Ruto in ODM because it makes it easy to fight the real opposition. Just why Raila did this baffles many. Was Ruto a threat to the possibility of the son of Jaramogi being chosen the ODM presidential candidate? I doubt it because in ODM Ruto is no match for Raila. Was Ruto threatening to dislodge Raila's silent dog, Musalia Mudavadi? May be. Was he afraid Ruto could testify and mention him at the hague hence Raila wanted to dissociate himself from Ruto early? Possibly. All in all my best gues is that Raila saw a threat in Ruto and chose to kick him out earlier rather than later. It suffices to say that the relationship is over. This is just a rerun between Raila and Wamalwa or Raila and Kalonzo. It is going to be impossible for Raila and Ruto to come back together or if they come together, they will still backstab each other.

RE: Invitation to a Tree Planting in Western Mau on the 18th December ? On behalf of Citizens? Assembly I would like to invite you to a Tunza Mau baraza to be held on 18th December 2009 from 9am in Konoin District, Cheptalal Division. ? This baraza will be held as part of activities under the Tunza Mau project, being jointly run by Citizens? Assembly, Forest Action Network and Maasai Council of Elders. We will follow up on issues raised during stakeholders? forums. In this way, keeping in line with our ultimate goal of community participation in the restoration of the Mau complex. Our specific objectives under the Tunza Mau project are: ? * To sensitise people on the need to conserve the environment. * To raise awareness on the socio-economic benefits of conserving the environment. * To raise awareness on alternative livelihoods. * To preempt and contain conflict over natural resources. * To entrench the relevance of environmental degradation and the necessity of restoration in the community development agenda. ? The baraza will be followed by a major tree planting exercise, which is an ongoing Citizens? Assembly activity in partnership with various grassroots organisations and groups. ? Western Mauhas suffered through logging and reforestation efforts are necessary for the beginning of restoration. 13,000 seedlings have already been planted by the community in November. They intend to plant 50,000 available seedlings in December. The activity is community managed in line with our organisational objective that citizens should be responsible. ? The history of Citizens? Assembly goes back to the National Constitutional Conference. Delegates there passed the ?Bomas? draft constitution, but when the constitution appeared to be getting hijacked and the referendum was announced, a number of delegates from the ?Bomas? conference came together to push for the real people-centred constitutional needs of Kenya. Citizens? Assembly is the result of that effort; an initiative that stands for governance and institutional practices that result in real benefits and real development. Under the Tunza Mau project, we intend to carry on with our focus on what we as a people can do for ourselves in order to bring about the change we require. ? We look forward to your attendance. ? ?

You say Raila has Sally and Bett but?should have fast of all known?two critical facts about the two and others like Kosgey before concluding that they will deliver for Raila. Bett is on his way out. He and Kosgey?are among major grabbers Raila?should be fighting.The former won Bureti because he used huge sum of money at a time when ODM was riding high. He never won the seat but the party won. If Raila is banking on Bett let him know that the man has no chance come 2012. Sally on the other hand was Moi's right hand lady until few months before 2007 elections.Like Bett she is self centered, selfish and a beneficiary of 2007 euphoria.? Kosgey is anti-Kipsigis which is?the largest (1/2 of Kalenjin), Tugen, Keiyo, Markwet,Sabaot, Pokot and Ogiek.Facts known to pundits show all other subtribes of Kalenjin are pro-Ruto except a few Nandi who dine and wine with Kosgey.Of all the Kalenjin, Kipsigis is the largest.they are found all over Kalenjinland and Maasailand. They are closely related to Ogiek who were evicted from Mau .Fact: you lose Kipsigis vote, you lose Kalenjin vote. At the moment?things have changed.People attend PM's meetings but they know where they stand.Hear it from me, "Raila has no?much votes in kalenjinland now but one hot button issue that can change that is how he is going to handle Mau evictees"On the other hand regardless of how much Ruto is vilified, three quarters of Kalenjin see him as a hero fighting for their rights.Call him what you want to call him, RVP has never produced a politician who ever challenged Moi and lived to tell it.I don't belong to Ruto's corner but one fact makes me admire him- his ability to stand for Kalenjin rights. Evictions in Maasai Mau will soon take place.Most of the evictees will be soldiers who legally bought land from Maasai.The latter were allocated the land as from 1978 when kenyatta was president and Jackson Harvester Angaine was Minister for Lands and Settlement.At the time, Ole Ntimama was chairman of County Council of Narok which approved the allocations.Now one fact is that most of the evictees from Maasai Mau will be well connected Maasai politicians and families. Chief Ntutu has 10,000 cares, chief Kurieta has about 10,000 acres, late Ole Tipis, Ole Ntimama, Ole Lankas, Ole Tuiya, etc, will be evicted.Ole Ntimama thought evictions would target only kalenjin who bought land from the Maasai and that is why he supported eviction.Let's wait and see how he's going to react to Maasai eviction.Who do you think Maasai will blame?Is it Ntimama or Raila? What are Raila's changes after eviction of Maasai from their ranches? ? Your analysis?is based on newspapers written by couch journalists in Nairobi.facts on ground show a big shift in RVP towards PNU.I laughed when I read The Standard where some professors said Raila still has grassroot support among the ordinary people even in Chepalungu.That is deception deduced from huge attendance of Raila's rally at Siongiroi. I also laugh loud when I hear journalsits say the wananchi love Raila more than their MPs. What I know is that it will take a miracle for Raila to win RVP in 2012 if things will remain as they are now. ? Since Moi's departure the politics of RVP is no longer centered on politicians but elders who wield immense powers and respect more than politicians. Kalenjin Council of Elders include Lt Gen Cheruiyot (Nandi), Lt Gen Koech (Kipsigis). Lt Gen Sumbeiywo (Keiyo), Gen Tonje (Tugen), Maj Seii?who is the cairman comes from keiyo and politicians, businessmen and former?seasoned civil servants.Things are not just Tononoka rally and journalists' anlysis.It is actuality! ? I love to read speculation on this forum but the fact is that Raila is losing RVP by the hour.?Even befeore?Mau saga voters were beginning to see him as being rather arrogant, self-righteous and all- knowing.A man who cannot not be adviced. Raila deceives himself that he is so popular in the region that he needs no one to advice him except Kosgey and Sirma.In fact Sirma and Kosgey have made Raila lose RVP faster and Ruto knows?? and that's why he is capitalizing on it.When they said in Tononoka that ODM is alive and well in the pronvince they lied the way sycophants lied to Moi about people's demand for multiparty politics.The court poets then led Moi to believe all was well just the way Sirma and Kosgey are doing now to Raila. let's discuss?facts and not newspaper myths! ? ? ? ? ?? ________________________________ From: Lordvick Otieno To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Sent: Tue, December 8, 2009 5:33:55 AM Subject: Re: [YP_Ke] Re: SHOULD RAILA BE VERY WORRIED? This is a very good analysis. you?must not overly be?scared about this losing?of block votes as several factors in?play can prove wrong the facts of invisibility of some?big block votes. We saw Moi win in 1997 elections despite the might of Kikuyu block vote wholesally going to Kibaki. We likewise saw in 2002, the almost to a man block vote of Kalenjins going to Uhuru but he hugely and miserably lost to Kibaki. Other issues?includes generational changes with new?paradimes in thinking?especially among the first time youthfull voters and many younger voters whoe' views?on?new keys national that elicite debates of high national proportions are also key factors that influence them . Over reliance on?block votes based on ethnic beliefs?at the chagrin of disregarding more key outstanding issues has of late proven to be the undoing of some political kingpins like Nyachae and Kombo, who thought they could block Raila, from getting votes some regions?by being preoccupied and overpossesed with the?issue of circumcision or cultural?values that do not conform?with their tribesmen.?? Other factors are perfect timing comes in political moves. Raila timed his implotion in Kanu perfectly well as by the time he led a big rebellion against Moi, with two months prior to elections, the later had no time and strategy or fall back plan?to regroup. Similarly Kalonzo's last minute decamping from Raila did a severe damage to?due to his timing. What helps Raila too well is the serious issues of?irredimable conflicts?Ruto's people and Uhuru's?crowd have to grind prior to their alliances. It's evident the two lack the?capacity to pull their troops as a block. There is also the issue of their Presidential ambitions as who?will get the ribs, the whole legs and the arms when the hunted?animal has to be divided. This may lead to serious fallout later where key jilted lover may end crossing to Odinga. All must not?play second fiddle?unlike Raila who's almost sure of carrying the ODM mantle. This means Raila can effectively balance a slot to march?against Ruto, Uhuru or Kalonzo, as ODM has abundance of Sally, Bett,Ngilu, and options of Karua, Kenneth and Saitoti if they?choose to play in the same team..??????? ----- Original Message ---- From: Breigner To: youngprofessionals_ke Sent: Mon, December 7, 2009 4:29:45 PM Subject: [YP_Ke] Re: SHOULD RAILA BE VERY WORRIED? Daniel; Usione simba amenyeshewa udhani ni paka. As a friend let me be candid. Raila, since the days of yore, has been always like that proverbial phoenix, rising from the ashes after every misfortune. Remember even Moi tried to kill him while he was disguised as a woman while running to Uganda. He is a man who is at his prime in terms of reading real politics of the day. William Samoei Ruto can go sing as loud as a parrot, he can climb the tallest tree in the forest and behave like a giraffe, he can sing loudest like jungle people calling out each other. In fact he can do all he wants. Fact is, Ruto has no numbers to back him. A little fact: Rift Valley is not exclusive to Kalenjins alone. Ruto's Eldoret North is part of a cosmopolitan city the size of Eastlands, called Eldoret. Having lived there and heard from him, the people there will forgive him less for the atrocities "his" people meted on other tribes. In fact, Ruto might never see the inside of parliament again. He has very serious untainted young Kalenjin competitors and they are just waiting for Raila to prop them up at 64 stadium for all and sundry to appreciate. Kalenjins only occupy Central and part of North Rift. Thats a very small part with about 500,000 voters. Real Kalenjins don't even listen to the joker Moi, the man who brought so much suffering and hatred among the Kalenjin. He made the people of Baringo wallow in poverty, he mistreated the Nandi and the Kipsigis, look at Koibatek, his people are still eating cactus fruit year in year out yet he served as their faithful MP and president for more than 45 years. Moi's ilk invaded the Mau and drove the people who lived in the fringes deep inside the forest. And you think they don't know. The Maasai and their variants would never listen to Ruto. Let me see who else lives in the Rift, eeeer, the Turkana, Somalis, the Rendille, Kikuyu's, etc. The Luhya's occupy most of the north of North Rift. So who is Ruto fooling? Even Kalenjins are not with him on this. What is Balala up to? Ali Hassan Joho and his people have already finished him, in fact he dug his own grave and is busy putting the soil on top. Wait until he stops breathing. He's in a self destruct mode. No one can stop his death now, he's finished himself, can't stop laughing ha ha ha. I am in Western, the land of amakulukulu, the beautiful land of many warm hills. The land of a thousand hills. We have intermarried with Kalenjins for years, and will be friends (though I understand things are a little bad at the moment because Ruto is 3rd from Mudavadi, I mean, you can't please everyone at the same time. But we will prevail, friendships last longer than politics. Politicians come and go, marriages last. And my Kalenjin friends aren't skinning me coz of Ruto, so I see everything is fine). In Cherengany, we have another cosmopolitan area with very many credible competitors in the thickets waiting to bite Kutuny. I can't stop laughing whenever I hear Kutuny mumble himself hoarse. He's a real character. If he knew whats awaiting him at "home", he would be better off keeping quiet. Perhaps no one would know he exists. Cherengany hills are now bare and that's angering his constituents. The constituency is getting warmer and warmer by the day because the rocks are now exposed to the sun and is causing micro climate change in the entire region. The once fertile land is now leeched by the torrential rains causing the virgin land go virgin in terms of crop production. The place is now as hot as Mwingi north, the home of Kaloser. That's enough to make him keep his loud mouth shut, he's in for real shock. If he ever makes it back, and I pray he tries to make his way again, I better not predict. As for the rest, its coming back to them who their true friends are. Stick with the history makers and be in the winning team. Those people that are talking Mau loudest know Hague is beckoning and can't sleep. They have nothing else to keep them worried better than Hague. Forget IDP's or evictees. These men are in constant panic and anything they hold their hands on, they hold tight. It might be the last salvation. As the PM said, "hio taka taka inaenda kutupwa ocean" - read Mediterranean Sea while to the Hague. Now the man they are firghting can't speak in good light to save them. What a sad tale! They make Raila and Kibaki's work easier by pooling in the same direction. As for Moi, he is seeing his last scion cut in pieces by the man who blasted the cockerel. He's alive to see for himself how modern politicians mutate and self destruct! The old Kanu, the people who brought Kenya to its knees, are now in one bin ready to be tossed into the sea. And with it, the dream of 100 years of Kanu rule. Hao na Mutahi Ngunyi, bure kabisa. To cap, Raila has no reason to fear anything. The enemy is self destructing under his very watch. He needn't be worried since all Kenyans remember what Jirongo, Ruto and so on did to take us where we are. We all know how "Jirongo's" almost brought Kenya to its knees. We all know how Jirongo and Ruto the YK92 machine almost killed Kenya. Its time they steped aside so that the ghost of misrule that has brought us where we are is buried. Well done Raila Amolo Odinga, may God add you a thousand more years. You stand with Kenyans whenever we need you to.

Kenyans are talking. I am not a matatu Operator but a road user liek any other Kenyan. I am grateful that tomorrow's strike is of essence. But a few observations and concerns in here are excellent. 1. Uhuru park is not a parking bay neither is it a bus stage. What the hell are the dudes going to do there. Tena Its just a corner zone for wenye Inchi. For sure Itere (Commissioner) is no diffrerent from Ali. Troops are now rehearsing for kesho. Ugali yaleo itaongezewa saucer. Mtawapata huko. Itakuwa no gone zone. where else will you take your demonstration???? Kuweni serious 2. What is Kenya and who are you as a kenyan? U mean you dont follow news. what is the need of so many madukas for Radio and Tvs on Luthuli Avenue. Hamsikii news. I know the organisers dont have room for home time and utilities. The Household goods ni za wamama na watoto na mabotch. What is the need of you even buying a Gazeti.Every morning u get a copy of the newspaper in your car and office. Please do not mislead us. Raila is away for the sake of all not the matatu drivers alone, but kenyans and the globe. 3. Kwani huyu Minister wa transport na others wako wapi? We shall chase them home. Hawajui wafanyalo ndani ya maofisi. Politicking for 2012. Nani amewaambia ati watakuwa hai.time is coming 4. Its good that kesho morning before 8.00am iko magari. Get onboard and go to work. Jioni watatukujia but at a hiked fare. For those with private cars, please dont be envious and jealous. Give lifts ata kama ni kudai ya petroli. Kenyans are ready to pay. This will make the so called matatus and drivers forget to ask for more. especially kama kesho. Fares shall be between 100 and 200.Kwani nani ameongezewa mshadi huko job. Kuweni serious. 5. Matatu owners never surfer. Poor kenyans surfer alot. Mwenye shibe na afunike tumbo. Itsa fight of the who has and no twho doesnt. Wewe utaumia tu bure. Wajinga wawili wakubwa ambao wanazo wapiganapo juu ya kuwa nazo, waumiapo ni wajinga wadogo ambao hawana. Be serious Kenyans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fanyeni Kaazi.

Actually when you discover the truth about the Bible, you will feel so relieved, and will want to know more and more. All the information is there. Find out why some Hebrews have taken a few lines in the Bible and chosen to "dwell" on those few lines. For example the Book says when a Hebrew falls in Battle, the Brother of that fallen hero will take his surviving wife, go forth into her, and bear a son. The son shall be named after the fallen hero,?So that the name of the Hebrew man, do not go in vain. ? Take this and relate it to the present day world, particularly in Kenya. Are there tribes that do this practice of "Wife inheritance"? Do they understand why it must be done? And do they do it in accordance with the law"? In Leviticus, it is written that "During harvest, a certain amount of crops will be left in the field to appease God. Do they do this anymore? or did the people abandon to follow this law altogether? ? Still in the Book of Leviticus, it is written that while the crop is still on the Fields your God Commands you to "Beat Nyawawa" (many of you may think that this is a mad mans thing, but you see God commanded you to do Nyawawa), so that he can reward you with a bumper Harvest. Do we do it, or do we even know it anymore? So it can be concluded that we abandoned the Laws, for we failed to Hearken. That is why he made you so weak, never able to defend yourself. So your enemies came from the North and bound you then put you in ships and back into Slavery. ? >From there he has visited you with plaque after plaque, for you have failed to recognize that he is the Lord your God. And you need to follow the Laws as he spake them. Is this not the reason why there is so much trouble in "The Promised Land". Having almost everything in terms of minerals and natural resources, but The people act like they are "Cursed" not knowing what to do! And for sure it is a Curse till such a time that you will start to follow the Laws as were written in that Book. It is only then, that, God will then lift you up, above all Nations, to be the Rulers of the Earth. That is his promise and it shall come to pass. It is there in the HBB (Holy Bible Book) Otherwords known as HBB (History of the Blacks Book)?? ?

See also most recent article by Chris: Why Ruto will win the war against Raila Some of the things Kumekucha is reading: Annonymous comment costs employee his job By Guest Writer In the height of post-election violence, William Ruto and Najib Balala were key ODM figures who fought the Raila?s mass action war of ?stolen? presidency like their own personal fight and the TV images of the two fleeing in Nairobi streets from mean-looking GSU officers lobbing tear-gas at them are still fresh in my mind. The two men were ready to die for Raila. Remember Balala even shed tears when he stepped down for Raila during ODM presidential nomination at Kasarani. That?s as far as the marriage of convenience lasted. The unfolding drama and imminent fall out in ODM was not unexpected but I could not imagine Raila falling out with Ruto and Balala. The fall out best explains how Kenya politics is fluid. Raila largely owes his position and the powers he enjoys to Ruto and Balala. Apart from vigorously campaigning for Raila in the 2007 General Elections, Ruto and Balala took charge of Raila?s mass action call and rallied ODM supporters and their affiliate tribes to civil disobedience to protest Kibaki?s controversial win. The fall out is a big lesson to other politicians and tribes ? never fight another man?s war or kill in their name. If Raila called for the mass action and only Luos heeded his call, Kenyans wouldn?t have been subjected to PEV or violence would have been minimal and of little consequence. But Ruto?s powerbase, the Rift Valley, was the main battle zone for PEV and the tragic and barbaric events in the province were what put Kenya on the international radar. Without Ruto and Balala and the Rift Valley primitive slaughter, Raila would have reluctantly settled for the humble position of the Official Opposition Leader. But thanks to the blood of innocent Kenyans, Raila landed on the prime post he is now using to flex his muscles against the foot soldiers and lieutenants who killed and uprooted innocent from their homes and businesses in his name. Ruto and Balala are the equivalent of Martha Karua, who toppled the scale against Raila on the finishing line and ensured Kibaki got a controversial second term. Without Karua, Kibaki would have kissed goodbye to the presidency. The Krieger Report told us neither Kibaki nor Raila could stake a high moral ground and claim they legally won. ODM and PNU fiddled with election results in their strongholds. Kibaki and Raila loyalists can fume with that assertion but that?s the reality. For that, Raila and Kibaki equally share the blame in 2008 PEV. The seeds of hatred were sowed by Kibaki when he refused to honour a pre-election MoU with Raila when he came to power in 2002. Kibaki added fuel to the fire when he started weeding out key Kalenjins from his new Administration. Kalenjins regarded the presidency to be synonymous to Moi and as if State House was their property. They were bitter loosing power to a Kikuyu. Ruto and Kalenjins would be consigned to the political dustbin were it not for Kibaki?s poor judgment in politics. After the fall out with Kibaki over dishonoured MoU, Raila?s only option was to team up with Kibaki?s enemies and that?s how Kalenjins and leaders who had looted state coffers or had criminal records (some murderers for their roles in 1992 and 1997 tribal clashes), and killers likes of Ole Ntimama, got a new lifeline. Raila and his new-found allies saw the best way to fight Kibaki was to pour petrol to the fire of hatred, which he had lit with the dishonoured MoU. The birth of ODM after the 2005 referendum was based on pure hatred towards Mt Kenya folks and revenge against Kibaki. Thanks to Kibaki?s failures and fall out with Raila, Moi today looks like a saint despite his many dark evils in his 24-year rule. ODM big guns and their supporters held divergent personal and political ideologies and their marriage was only for convenience but not driven by desire to bring genuine change and reforms in Kenya. These were strange bedfellows. ODM was meant to replace Kibaki?s eating club with new or re-packaged thieves and looters. But the revenge against Kibaki and by extent his tribe, the Kikuyus, was the temporary glue that brought political conmen, looters, murderers and graft lords together. The glue held up to the 2007 Presidential elections and Kenya went to elections in a charged and polluted environment. The ODM unity of purpose ? to kick out Kibaki from State House ? was what made Raila?s mass action call work. Sooner or later, party time and honeymoon was going to be over for Raila and his ODM. Unknown to Ruto and Balala, Koffi Annan was pushing for ceasefire and a Grand Coalition Government without revealing his true intentions. He wanted to bring peace but ensure killers were punished. In fact, Raila and ODM were the ones who wanted Annan and the international to intervene claiming they had been robbed of the presidency by Kibaki. Kibaki and his allies were content after retaining the presidency and they didn?t want Annan to come in. Raila and ODM got an upper hand and Kibaki conceded to share power. The man ODM saw as their saviour had a trick up his sleeve ? unleashing the ICC and Ocampo after the PEV dust settled. Ruto and his ODM thought the PEV issue ended as soon as Kibaki and Raila signed a peace deal. How mistaken they were! To the disbelief of Ruto, Balala and others who suspect their names were in the Waki envelope, Raila backed trial of PEV suspects. This is after Raila had equated the PEV killers to freedom fighters! What a betrayal from the mass action general. Raila looked at 2007 General Election as the end of the world ? it was a do or die. He forgot he could loose and vie another day. His mass action call gave birth to mass murder and Kikuyus suffered the most. Raila realised the folly of his mass action call and warmed up to Kikuyus and to the larger Mt Kenya people after he invited Kibaki to his Bondo home. He now enjoys a good working relationship with Kibaki. When relations improved, Kibaki cleverly pushed the explosive Mau eviction issue to Raila and the PM enthusiastically took it up hoping to win an image of a national and international leader. Raila has received a huge sarcastic backing from Mt Kenya folks on the Mau issue ? but that will remain as far as Mau forest is concerned. In public, Mt Kenya folks displaying their ?support? to Raila in regard to Mau, while in private laughing as Raila?s burns the bridges that propelled him to where he is today. Doubt this? Read comments on Daily Nation website everyday and guess who are cheering on Raila. In evicting Kalenjins from Mau, Raila is stepping on the toes of murders, thieves, looters and land grabbers who had played a key role in his 2007 presidential campaign and what he is today. The current fall out was inevitable. Mt Kenya are arguing Raila is unknowingly revenging on them for what Kalenjins did to their Gema kinsmen in 2008. What a better way to get revenge for Kikuyus killed and uprooted from RV? By using their 2007 hero, Raila! Those who wish away Kikuyus to play a major role in any election are doomed. Kikuyus have the numbers and they vote to preserve their selfish interests ? to protect their wealth. In this regard, even if a Kikuyu doesn?t vie for the top seat in 2012 to avoid a repeat of the backlash of 2007, the community will play a big role in deciding Kenya?s next CEO. If no Kikuyu garners for the top seat, Raila?s campaign will be largely deflated as he will not have the ammunitions he had in 2007, rallying other tribes against Mt Kenya folks. Raila?s political future will be doomed. Unlike Luos who openly express their anger and thoughts and you can easily read their mind and next move, Kikuyus are the opposite. Luos may have celebrated too early that they managed to drive a final nail in the coffin of the frosty relations between Kikuyus and Kalenjins ? stemming from land in Rift Valley. Kikuyus in Rift Valley may never mend fences with Kalenjins. But Kikuyus in Central Province and elsewhere have nothing to loose in mending fences with Kalenjins as long as that will place them in leadership or the next Government. Furthermore, Kikuyus and Kalenjins have a lot at stake ? land in Rift Valley. What have Luos to offer Kikuyus? Kikuyus can bury their past grudges as long as Kalenjins are willing to accommodate them in RV. In this regard, Raila made the 2007 General Election look like a personal battle against Kikuyus and majority of Kikuyus believe they would not have fallen victims and suffered so much due to PEV were it not for Raila. Even before 2007, majority of Kikuyus openly said they couldn?t vote for a Luo, more so Raila. Raila?s tribal and hatred politics that led to PEV permanently burnt his political bridges with Mt Kenya folks. Raila may have toned down his hard politics on Kibaki to please Mt Kenya folks, but they are unlikely to ever forgive him for the PEV. >From the look of things, Ocampo is unlikely to go after Kibaki and Raila. Kibaki loses nothing since he is doing his last term. If Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta are both indicted by Ocampo over PEV and leave Raila, Kikuyus and Kalenjins will be united by a common purpose as happened in the recent Mau evictees fund-raising. The common enemy for the two tribes will be Raila and they will never forgive him for his mass action call that gave birth to PEV and took their sons to Hague. In such a scenario, the person who will be smiling all the way to the bank and likely to reap is one Kalonzo Musyoka. He?ll tell Kikuyus: ?I rushed to boost Kibaki from Raila on slot after the disputed polls and you retained the presidency.? He?ll turn to Kalenjins and tell them: ?I warned you about Raila. Look at what he has done with you with Mau and with Ruto.? The Mau eviction and PEV trials were the turning point of Raila and Kalenjins and only a divine intervention can save Raila from the imminent tsunami he faces in 20120 and beyond. Raila mistakenly believes if Hague takes Uhuru and Ruto, his ambitions to rule Kenya are home and sealed. I bet Raila will die like his father before he rules Kenya. The best Raila and his father managed is a step away from the throne. It is very unlikely Kibaki will back Raila in 2012 and Kikuyus are very unlikely to vote for Raila come rain come sunshine ? even with Kibaki?s backing. Lacking a better strategy to tame the Ruto-Balala axis, Raila has resorted to laughable theatrics by challenging them to quit the Cabinet. That?s a very cowardly challenge. If you are an employer and your employee openly defies you, do you keep daring him to quit or you sack him? A rogue employee looses nothing clinging on and making trouble from within. Ruto and Balala have equally hit back and said they did not fear being sacked. Raila?s frequent challenge to Ruto & Co to quit shows he has no moral courage to fire the group. He would be digging deeper his political grave. Raila is playing holistic politics. Didn?t the same Raila rock Kibaki?s Govt from within in Narc and after becoming PM? I believe Ruto and Balala have psychologically set their minds Hague is real. They must have decided even if they went to Hague, they?ll sink the political ambitions of the thankless general they fought for. Raila is fast digging his political grave and if I was him, I would do all I can to win back the Ruto-Balala axis, to win their tribesmen and women. Due to his greed for power, Raila is fast digging his political grave while being cheered by his enemies and his blind supporters. Let?s wait and see if the powerful Kikuyu block with vote for him in 2012. Kibaki in his first term evicted settlers from Mau forest. Raila ganged up with Ruto and his allies denouncing Kibaki and introducing hate and tribal politics. They used Mau evictions as ammunition against Kibaki in 2005 referendum. When campaigning 2007 presidential elections, Raila and allies perfected hate politics and again used Mau to settle scores with Kibaki and assured settlers they wouldn?t be evicted. Raila scored political mileage and won Kalenjin votes. Ruto and allies perfecting what their master taught them. Kibaki has last laugh as Raila?s hate politics returns to haunt him. Kibaki is playing clever. He agreed to a truce with Raila and allows him to flex his muscle and exercise his perceived and illusionary powers (Kibaki retains all executive powers) as he sits back to enjoy his former enemies fighting each other and their general. If Hague prunes Ruto and Uhuru from Kenya?s political map, I encourage doubting Thomases and Raila?s blind ardent follows to keep a copy of this story as a historical reference. I love this show. Who would have expected a fall out after all the chest-thumping in ODM in the run up to 2007. P.S. And on the CoE constitution, I share Moi?s stand and concerns. Kenya should have one CEO, pure presidential and system. The CEO?s power should be drastically watered down and checked by strong judiciary and parliament. All appointments must be endorsed by Parliament to curb tribalism and nepotism. Two centres of power will put Kenya permanently on tension due to power struggle between president and PM, driving away investors and tourists. Two centres of power will spell doom for the future survival of Kenya. Raila and his like-minded shud should seek our mandate if they want to rule but not grab power through back door.

URL: From prcanb at yahoo.com Tue Dec 8 19:37:37 2009 From: prcanb at yahoo.com (Absalom Birai) Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 16:37:37 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] Learning from the Master! Message-ID: <778449.72508.qm@web38704.mail.mud.yahoo.com> In his daily busy schedule of preaching the good news and healing all manner of diseases,Jesus was confronted with many diverse questions. A careful study of the gospels will amaze you at the way He answered the questions. Unlike us,He read the motive of those who were asking the questions and therefore always provided straight answers. I will cite some of the passages wherein we find some of the questions: "And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that are saved? And he said unto them,Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.(Luke 13:23-24) "Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." (Mathew 19:16-17.) "Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way." (Mathew 22:15-22). "At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"He called a little child and had him stand among them.And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. (Mathew 18:1-5). >From the above,we can tell that there are those who came with a wrong motive but left wondering at His way of answering. He never at any time entered into any kind of argument.

The judge turned to the jury foreman and asked, "Has the jury reached a verdict in this case?" "Yes we have, your honor," the foreman responded. "Would you please pass it to me?" the judge declared, as he motioned for the bailiff to retrieve the verdict slip from the foreman and deliver it to him. After the judge read the verdict himself, he delivered the verdict slip back to his bailiff to be returned to the foreman and instructed the foreman, "Please read your verdict to the court." "We find the defendant NOT GUILTY of all four counts of bank robbery," stated the foreman. The family and friends of the defendant jumped for joy at the sound of the "not guilty" verdict and hugged each other as they shouted expressions of gratitude. The defendant's attorney turned to his client and asked, "So, what do you think about that?" The defendant said, "I'm real confused here. Does this mean that I don't have to give all the money back?" I don't believe the story is true, but it certainly could have been. "If you see the poor oppressed in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things..." (Eccl. 5:8a). We know, all too well, stories of injustice in our court system. There is a big difference between receiving a "not guilty" verdict in a court case and truly being "innocent." And it angers us when we believe that someone has "beat the system" and avoided punishment they deserve. For someone who does not believe in God, injustice leads to bitterness and depression. Life is unfair. Innocent people are hurt and guilty people are not held accountable. But, for the Christian, we know that justice will prevail. God is not only a God of absolute love and grace, but He is also a God of absolute justice. "[God] will render to each one according to his deeds: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness -- indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil..." (Rom. 2:6-9) We live in an unjust world, but we take comfort that someday all men will stand accountable before a just God. Have a blessed day!

He was most of the time not disappointed. So this one Christmas day he makes his routine visit, but back in his mind he knew the tidings would be more attractive than before. He was right! It was Christmas! This was the time things like chapati, soda, rice, nyama, carrots, appeared in the menu. Those were the days when, those delicacies used to be like companys' AGMs - Annual. Another thing that used to be given in good measure during this period was generosity. People's generosity used to be outstanding at this time, and everyone offered everything. Back to the story. So in the spirit of generosity, Johana would be offered all these rare stuff. "Johana, will you take chapati?", my mum would ask. "Yes", Johana would calmly and politely respond. So Johana would gladly munch away whatever came his way. Rare liquids also use to appear at this time. It was time to take a break from sugarless tea, turungi (true tea) and enjoy a cool glass of Tree Top juice, Fanta orange, Coca Cola, Mirinda.... So Johana was not left behind and was offered these drinks to down the sumptuous delicacies. And there was variety to choose from and beloved Johana made one choice; like a good wine taster, he decided to sample a glass/cup of each of the drinks on offer; after all it was Christmas! So as we continued making merry, Johana disappeared. We frantically looked for him, for there was still more sumptuous meals remaining. A sound of someone groaning attracts us. We hurriedly headed to where the sound was coming from. Sure enough, rolling on the floor behind the granaray was Johana. His shirt buttons had been ripped off by the potruding belly. The site was one to behold. Here is a boy, rolling on the ground, the tummy stretched to the maximum and bare. So I ask Johana, "ni nini?" and he retorts, "ni kushiba nimeshiba sana!". Suffice it to say everyone joined him on the floor, not because of kushiba, but because of the site. We had to call cucu to come and administer first aid on the poor soul!

On what grounds do you think you can 'curse' someone that 'the power of the almighty will come upon him'. You are the group of fellows that want to use impunity to line their pockets. we all know what most of these 'churches' with loudspeakers do; and am sorry to tell you that time is over. You need to pray decently like everyone else so that we can assimilate lost people like you to the life of law and order. You cannot call someone working for the good of all silly and perishing. And you need to grow up because you have never seen God and you don't know whose side He is on. If you are used to lying to your flock that you talk on God's behalf please don't try it here. Thse laws are a step in the right direction and we support them fully. So my best advise is that you please read them first before venting ignorance around. You are so fake.

He will hang on. There is something called political parties bills that requires him and group to resign, so i guese he wont resign, but personally, I think its in his good interest to resign since he can easily win back his seat. Sally Kosgey will loose, I can also bet that Kutuny will loose. Thats politics. I love RV people for one thing, they know how to vote. But the sooner they learn that Ruto is leading nowhere the better. Raila is not the presidency. Politics has started, let now wait and see who will be attending those rallies of his. Start with Ababu, he is nolonger interested after learning he was fighting a loosing game. Adan Duale is also drifting. Just watch. Sang et al must advise Ruto that reviving YK92 will drive more Kenyans aways from Ruto! On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 12:16 AM, Tigeress wrote: > Maurice? 2017?

Yet, how else can one term the political alliances with an ethnic bias being formed all over the country? Have those forming these alliances read the proposed constitution and realised that there is very little to gain? The detailed articles in Chapter 12 of the draft constitution touch on a new form of executive discharge of political power. Even after all kinds of amendments, the presidency (or prime minister? office, depending on which one will be more powerful) will contain very little of the actual power we know today. Those still forming political alliances oblivious of the implications of the new structures of executive power are only preaching tribal alliances. If these alliances were to hold the same value as they have to date, then the sections on devolution would be negated. But, as long as the sections are the body and soul of Chapter 12, the functions of the regional and country assemblies supported by the double-chamber National Assembly are primarily meant to exercise real power. This means the question of ?we deserve more seats because we delivered more votes? is likely to count for very little. The draft contains solid checks and balances on that issue. In addition, the whole concept of economic gain from the central government will be muted substantially. For ordinary Kenyans, the focus will be on the performance of county and regional governments because these are to be the instruments of power that will deliver good roads, clean water, health facilities, electricity, and indeed, ensure high agricultural production. It is for these institutions to bargain on behalf of their people for equity in the distribution of national resources.. NO LONGER WILL MPs BE AS CENTR-al to our lives as they are under the current government. Their role will be strictly ?representative?, meaning they will have less influence in the decisions and implementation of government services in the regions and counties. Instead, they will formulate policies and oversee the performance of the central government, which will remain largely an ?amorphous? institution in the day-to-day lives of most Kenyans. Granted, the president and prime minister in the new constitution will have some power, but this will largely be symbolic ? for those who think tribally! With each region running its own affairs, the overall impact of the prime minister and president will be felt only nationally. We shall only take interest in these national figures based on what they achieve on the very important issues. In countries like Australia and the US, the local state government is ?the government? because the main focus of the central government is national policies on issues such as security and international representation, and hence is far removed from the daily operations at the regional and county levels. Therefore, rather than waste time crisscrossing the country staging meaningless political rallies, these leaders should start forming strong party alliances. That is where national politics will be played out ? not in the villages. The villages are now territories for representatives we call today councillors. Strong, solid, and clean people with a realistic vision will carry the day if the new constitution takes effect. Tribal arithmetic will die.

All he had left was $10. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could find no job, and nobody was ready to help him. He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had not eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean that he could see their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone into the socket. With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the food. The old man and children prayed that God would bless and prosper him and then gave him a very old coin. The young graduate said to them 'you need the prayer more than I do'. With no money, no job, no food, the young graduate went under the bridge to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he saw an old newspaper on the ground. He picked it up, and suddenly he saw an advertisement for people with old coins to come to a certain address. He decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him. On getting to the place, he gave the proprietor the coin. The proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed the young graduate a photograph. This same old coin was worth 3 million dollars. The young graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for 3 million dollars within an hour. He collected the Bank Draft and went in search of the old man and little children. By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He asked the owner of the canteen if he knew them. He said no but they left a note for you. He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to find them. This is what the note said: 'You gave us your all and we have rewarded you back with the coin,' signed God the Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. 1 Kings 17:10-16; Matthew 11:28-30 PRAYER: Here is your financial blessing!

Some people live their entire lives without discovering this purpose. They live by guess work. They try one thing, if it doesn?t work out, they move onto another. They live their lives based on trials and error. However, this kind of trial and error approach to life does not guarantee the kind of success that God promised in His word for His precious children One way to connect with God?s divine plan is through prayer. Prayer is the door way to the spiritual realm. Most of us live our lives without realizing that there is a spiritual realm of existence which controls and determines the events which occurs in the natural realm. This unseen world created the seen world that we live in. If we want to make an impact in the natural, physical and seen world, we would first need toinstigate the process of change in the unseen, spiritual realm of existence through the instrumentality of prayer. If you live by what you see alone you will always be at the mercy of circumstance and events. But if you tap into the supernatural power of God through prayer, you can determine what goes on into your live. It is only what you allow in the place of player that eventually manifests in your life and strategically position yourself in divine purpose. Prayer generates power which strengthens us spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. It keeps us physically alert. You will always be aware of spiritual environment and all that goes on around you as long as you pray. Some people are unaware of what goes on in the environment. They live with negative spiritual forces which hinder them from making the kind of progress they desire in their lives, yet they do nothing about it because they are unaware. Curses, spells enchantments and all other negative forces hold sway in their lives because they are ignorant and spiritually blind. But God wants our eyes to open so we can have complete dominion over our environment and beyond. God want us to live in dominion, to be in control of our lives and environment. We have been given the authority to subdue and rule the environment. If you are not in dominion, you are not utilizing your God given authority. Prayer keeps us in touch with the reality of our earthly assignment. This assignment is your God ordained purpose for living. When we have a grasp of this assignment and pursue it, we will be fulfilled in our innermost being. The reason why people are confused about their lives is that they are unclear about their reason for living. They stumble through life like a blind man in a maze. Science says that we can live for about seven days without food. We can live three days without water but we cannot live for a second without hope. We cannot live without a sense of purpose for our lives. Prayer gives you a strong sense of purpose for living. Also in the place of player you receive the direction you require to fulfill this purpose. Prayer opens your eyes to possibilities and opportunities which exist all around us. You should realize that not all that glitters is gold. You should therefore pray about every business deal, decision or proposition you want to make. Pray before you agree to go out on a date with a beautiful woman you admire so much. Pray before you commit yourself to any project. There are many things we don?t see physically but in the place of prayer, God reveals the traps and snares the enemy has set in our paths and delivers us from them. Prayer empowers you to live your life the way God intended you to live: in dominion. This is a chapter in Praise George?s book ?Wisdom for single men? Have a prayerful day -- TODAY!!

In-Reply-To: <73769.35681.qm@web113508.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <8CC4684D2E13FD6-4760-239D2@webmail-d036.sysops.aol.com> Bwana Omare, Thanks for reminding me that we have a secretary but that is not you. You are an acting Coordinator and currently imposed secretary. You have been withholding information and that is not the secretary's job. You are claiming to be the secretary but I would like you to know that you are just a candidate. I think you are being arrogant and a power grabber. I'm not engaging in communication war but enlightening you on dealing with public entities. Do not fight a battle for others but be truthful and kind of professional. Defend what is defensible, I want to see how you are handling the deficit issue yet you do not want to sit and listen to the auditors report. By the way the constitution does not give you the power to block information flow. I hope you have read it in readiness for your term of office for responsibilities overlap and if you fail the organization someone will save the situation. You are setting this up for an uphill start with such arrogance. Thanks for the acknowledging that I was there from the beginning But change is inevitable. Sorry if you do not get things your way. Remember, since you avoided listening to the audit report last time it does not mean that members should be left in the dark. KEA-NJ members need to know that we have a deficit and some of their money is missing on record. Know that the organization is for members and not for the leaders only. You are completely out of order in claiming that all information should be sifted and controlled by the secretary. Currently you are not that Secretary. Be Realistic and work for the rest of the members and not an individual for the days of godfathers are not so flashy in this century. Next time do not refuse to send out an email when we need a meeting to find out who is responsible for the deficit. You need to be part of the battle to know where the money went to just like any good member unless otherwise. If you want something to do am requesting that we have a meeting this Thursday with all the people the chairman said need to be looked at. Remember your name was mentioned in the meeting. lets sort this as soon as possible before election. Just be ware that the chairman promised us that he was going to have a meeting with all those people who may know where the deficit came from including you. This was to happen before election for transparency and accountability. Please call this meeting as secretary to be as soon as possible. Thanks for your cooperation and boldness on this matter..

Sir, et me remind you that KEA-NJ has a secretary. That is the same person who has een taking minutes in all board meetings you have attended. It is strange that n this email you call yourself the KEA Public Relations director and yet you laim that it is election time therefore there is no secretary. I think it is in ad taste. do not intend to engage in internet PR wars. Elections are coming and the embers will decide. History will judge us at the end of the day. And by the ay, if you want to reach the members, you still need to communicate with them hrough the secretary. That is what the constitution says and you were among the roup that wrote it. At least that is what I know. mare -- On Tue, 12/8/09, bigavala at aol.com wrote: > From: bigavala at aol.com Subject: Re: A MESSAGE FROM KACA EMERGENCY COMMITTEE TO KEA-NJ MEMBERS Out of rder. To: mwomare at yahoo.com, kea at kaca-nj.org, KACA at yahoogroups.com, ambo at publiceyesite.org Date: Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 3:47 PM This Is KEA-NJ election time and currently we do not have an active KEA secretary until after elections and someone is sworn in. Nobody has the moral authority to threaten any member with orders of who has power. As it stands now KACA Emergency committee job is to run the election and not to protect any particular candidate. Elections are about issues and as it stands in KEA we have a deficit and it is public knowledge because all members were given a chance to listen to the audit report and copies were given out. The deficit is a reality as far as I can tell from the records handed out. WE can not hide such a hot issue so that elections can be swayed differently. When there is a money issue its the right of all members to know. The truth is always bitter but we have to face it. Intimidations and calls to people with complains should not be priority. The priority is an explanation of how the deficit came about and who is responsible. We should not pass the blame by focusing on other things. As A KEA NJ member , I have the moral authority to question how the deficit came about when we had custodians fro the money. Who was responsible for the account and who released money? We agreed in the meeting to call all those people named to sort out the matter before election but the normal tricks were used to block the meeting until after the election. The fact is that we saw a deficit and someone holds the answer. We can not ignore the truth about the presence of a deficit. As a Public Relations Director I have to relate to members who were not in the meeting what is happening. That is my job and if anybody wants to block information they will fail miserably. KACA-Emergency committee, please do not meddle in KEA-NJ internal matters your job is totally different from defending certain candidates who owe members an explanation of how they will govern. If there If there are speculations they still need answers and avoiding will not solve it. KEA-NJ members need to know that there is a deficit and that is currently in KEA-NJ official records of the Internal Auditor. Those members who do not have a copy can request one to see it in black and white. Investigations are matters of another day. -----Original Message----- From: DOmare To: Haronmogire at yahoo.com; Mbakaya at mail.com; Abelmoranga at msn.com; Mokuaorangi at hotmail.com; Osorojackie29 at yahoo.com; Bwaris at yahoo.com; Vlynongori at yahoo.com; Nancyododa at netscape.net; Stellakerry at yahoo.com; Edinamokaya at yahoo.com; Kennmokaya at yahoo.com; Nageryt at yahoo.co.uk; Evaomoro at yahoo.com; Gnyatome at hotmail.com; Nyamwembe at yahoo.com; Zmasira at yahoo.com; Smichieka at hotmail.com; Skamia94 at gmail.com; Risoyaro at hotmail.com; Rasiago at yahoo.com; Kemuntored at yahoo.com; Oguturichard at yahoo.com; Eonyaega at yahoo.com; Momanyian at yahoo.com; Frmanyara at gmail.com; Nmasese at hotmail.com; Aenchah at yahoo.com; Paulasuma2000 at yahoo.com; Rmanot at yahoo.com; Mnyambuti at yahoo.com; Harrietk45 at yahoo.com; N500.1 at netzero.net; Nyangorofaraday at yahoo.com; Wilfredasiago at yahoo.com; Graceasiago2000 at yahoo.com; Walkems1 at verizon.net; Kinarosospeter at yahoo.com; Nazzi2003 at yahoo.com; Kimko65 at msn.com; Kemija at comcast.net; Bmigosi at aol.com; Obare6866 at aol.com; Ombati32 at yahoo.com; Pondande at yahoo.com; A.Nyaboga at worldnet.att.net; Nyabogaa at wpunj.edu; Paulahpilly at yahoo.co.uk; Judynyanchama at yahoo.com; Patmise at hotmail.com; Paulondari at comcast.net; Challmolly at aol.com; Kmecheo at gmail.com; Maryongaro at hotmail.com; Ambeyi.dee at juno.com; Fogada01 at yahoo.com; Jogorous2004 at yahoo.com; Cndege at c5.com; Ekerubo2001 at yahoo.com; Ongeriaminga at hotmail.com; Bigavala at aol.com; Vgimali at yahoo.com; Nyonyakeh at yahoo.com; Dogega at yahoo.com; Gcamerrajr at aol.com; Kkiguru at aol.com; Ptuju at yahoo.co.uk; Bmakori at gmail.com; Dmose90258 at aol.com; Benbosire at hotmail.com; Romeke83 at yahoo.com; Georgeomburo at yahoo.com; Katuju91 at yahoo.com; Majordanmok at yahoo.com; mwomare at yahoo.com; Douglas Bonuke ; Hellen Nyamiaka ; Geoffrey Keroti Cc: Tom Mogaka ; Wilfredasiago at yahoo.com; maburis at aol.com; D.

Firstly, you must understand that politics is not a fare-play or fallacy, it is a serious job that require deliverance to public, therefore, the road to delivery must be clear and concise.? There is no politics without public development and there is no public development without politics.? Politics is the vehicle at which we all must achieve our desired goals in life.?There is a way politics must be conducted for popular gains, and that?s the way to develop a Country not for a secular or sectional gains.?This is the only way to create a lasting peaceful solution and love amongst the Citizenry of a Nation.?If you go the popular way, your Leadership and Country remain strong and progressive. There will be a conducive environment for competiton to achieve goals in life. ? Secondly, I have a full time job, and this is my full time job - you can very well see how busy I get. PM Raila is the Leader presently. I know PM Raila very well better than the yappy folks, critics makes him alert and stronger and any Leader worth his salt must be a Leader of substance which PM is capable of acquiring only if he open himself to critics and pays attention to advice and be a good listener slow to respond. That does not mean weakness. This is why we stand to point out issues that we are concerned about either publicly or privately, reasons that politics is a public affair. He should be able to consult widely before he makes comments.? He has bigger responsibilities so he has more advisors of different specialties. I will not butter PM Raila because he does not need yappy folks back-up in fulfilling his ambition, he knows that very well.? The yappy folks should not imagine they have a score here. They should get it right that I am stepping in for a wise counsel not propaganda and not because I want to be considered for a job, but if that is the case, what would the yappy folks do if I have to get appointed? Peter with those in like minds, cannot stop my being appointed incase I have to, so what?s the hullaballoo for.? I am not the ?Jonny-Come-Late? and incase there is need for a position, I deserve to be appointed because I toiled and worked hard for it since 1990, though the time is not now.? There is a lot of ground work to be done and plenty of volunteer jobs people should get involved to secure the Kenya we all want. ? Thirdly, I do not need favour of a job in this kind of messy and confused government system of irrelevancy with no focus or direction. I want to help the system to be operational and functional and because of my informed capability, I decided to educate the masses for free stay out of active mainstream politics and play politics of advice and direction in sensitization and mobilizing in essence.? So people like you can have a chance to be educated. ? This last bit?of your comment compelled me to respond so you know that you and your bashing friends could have had ?Maziwa ya Nyayo? done effect to your brains.? You have to be careful and watch that your brains were not affected by "Maziwa ya Nyayo" the free Primary Education Milk that was?offered then?by former President Moi as an incentive to gain energy while at school.? I have reason to worry because, I have noticed commonplace conditional defects requiring urgent attention.? However, considering what I have said above, I have the following to add:- ? A)???? I have come a long way with Kenya's politics, if it were position I need, I would have?acquired that long time during the late Jaramogi Oginga's time. I was?one of his favorites women in politics and again I am not bragging, and those who were bashing me during those days were told off to "We na uru nya Mombasa na no mos"? - it was not that there were no bashing then or that there were no critics, but he saw some potential and believed in me, he therefore did not let the Young Turks then, to mess with me.? ? I saw there were no conducive climate to allow infusion of my advice, how to go about things to develop and improve Kenya through Civil Society and other NGOs development program Agenda and how Civil Society can work together with the Government in partnership to achieve National Growth in Financial Development.? Things fall apart and became worse as time went by.....we do not want to loose valuable time this time round because we are in critical economic crisis and things must be done right the first time since there will be no other second chance. ? I am a leader by my own rights.? Being the inside player in politics, I saw, after election of 1992, Jaramogi won, Moi turned?tables on Jaramogi so he technically lost.? Moi was truly a professor of?political?distortion and distraught, divide and rule,?which caused the final straw collapse of Kenya. He based his politics on?lies and cheats.? He played?Jaramogi?smart,?dented Ford through his maneuvers,?although very sick Matiba?was lured,?he?came in and?raffled feathers?and completely destroyed unity?in Ford.? Matiba caused?the immediate collapse?and death of FORD.? Confusion set in and?that was the?beginning of all hell went loose in Kenya.? I am giving you this episode so you know I am not a freshman in politics of Kenya.? I have been there and I have done it.? But that is not my style.?The Ruto way of politics with Uhuru, Balala and Kalonzo is a repetition of Matiba?s style during Jaramogi?s time with Moi and I believe Ruto is playing childish tantrums he must stop to divagate. ? B)???? I must remind you that, taxes are public money.? I have the right to indulge in Kenya issues that involve taxes though I do not live in Kenya but because of natural automatic dual interest, I have a say.? First, I pay tax in America and I complete my tax returns every years.? I participate in America?s National building.? I buy food, pay rent, drive a car and all these contribute in my paying taxes to the Government one way or the other. I therefore have a say as a tax payer and a Citizen of America who wish to want to know and desire to demand how our Tax money is utilized.? I have families, relatives and friends in Kenya whom I send money for up-keep and therefore I have interest and the right to question to want to know and participate in all matters of tax-payer public money utility. It is therefore my Human Right Concern when the public money is carelessly squandered and utilized without due consideration and concern and at the same time stolen for private interest.? Leaders who don?t take public matters or interest seriously are failing somewhere in their jurisdiction. Consequently, I have not cheapen low to be a chicken to your critics.? ? C)???? I am a custodian of my destiny both in America and in Kenya?..I therefore do not make noise, I deliberate and contribute how best I wish to be governed through opinion or idea sharing.? I have Kenya?s interest at heart and would not wish it goes to the dogs.? I will make noise because I do not wish and on behalf of many, I intercede for them all so we do not go back to Misri?..This is a true calling brothers and sisters, try and get even. Find yourselves some Volunteer Commissioning assignment so you get involve in creating the Kenya we all want.? Building Kenya is each and everyone participating in the best way they know how. ? God Bless you all. ? ? Cheers! ?

It kills the argument when all she does is complain about everyone. We are not angels, we are earthlings. None of us is perfect thro our scale, leave alone Gods, however much we try. We will always be imperfect. They say keep one eye closed, and one eye open, and work as if you are the only one working hard. But don't just sit there looking and whining about peoples issues, serializing. They tire. Judy has serious arguments but they end up in sensationalism, generalization and whining. If she ends up in this very thieving group, I bet 100% she will behave the same way like Ababu Amwamba. I have seen this before. It's a tactic used to get a prominent appointment.

We need each other and we need to exchange ideas and not allow us to be caught up in petty politics which take us nowhere. We will never think the same or support the same politicians but we can agree on the issues that affect both us and embrace the beauty of diversity for our common good. If any of Raila, Kalonzo, Kibaki or whoever messes up lets all tell them they have messed and need to rectify the mess. I think that is what Judy is saying, Raila is nolonger the same guy we elected, he has either changed or was never serious in his campaign promises. Being honest with each other is the way forward. WE MUST AGREE TO KILL TRIBALISM BY ALL MEANS and PREACH UNITY AMONG ALL KENYANS after all when these politicians mess up we all suffer regardless of our political affiliations....BE SMART PEOPLE and lets agree to change Kenya forever for our common good.

I cannot forget that day. It was very cold in Washington DC. I had driven all the way from Florida to protest 2007 stolen election at the Kenyan Embassy and United States State Department. There were many people. Some I knew some I did not. Me and my Associates were not aware that there were other organizers but as you know word travels through the internet. Well we were disorganized and organized because one group did not know the other group. Judy belonged to one group and I belonged to the other. My group chose Alphonse Omondi of Philadelphia to be incharge the other group chose Judy. Judy is almost the age of my mother but in her I saw a heart of a young warrior. She and Omondi were our incharges. Judy pushed the embassy door like a young lady but Ogego refused to talk to us although later on me and Omondi sneaked in only to be ejected by the security. Later that day with Judy and Omondi as our incharge we went to the State department and had an audience with the state reperesentative. We had along chain of demonstrators. Okoa spoke on our behalf. Through Judy and Omondi we handed over our two written petitions. Our issue was that Kibaki stole the election and the United States should not recognize him as president. Secondly we took issue with why the United States had already endorsed Kibaki as president and lastly we requested United States to be involved in solving the Kenyan problem. The next day Jandaya Frazer was dispatched to Kenya. As you can see, Judy faught for the rights of Kenya and she achieved something. Fairness. He fought for Raila to be who he is now. Without United States, Raila could be rotting in jail somewhere opr in exile. Judy therefore has every right to tell Raila that he is wrong when he is. Indeed Raila was wrong in this case. Where on earth do you go to beg for money so that you can throw it to the sea and still claim sovereignity. If you want to claim to be sovereign then dont go begging. Besides, $900 allowance per day, where on earth do people get that except in Kenya. Kenyans should be outraged instead of looking at the type of english Judy wrote. Why are Kenyans so much dissolutioned. $900 per day for 10 days for 60 people who in my view are going just to visit Germany. If you look closely you may find out many of them are relatives of the people in the government. How is this diffrerent form Moi's Government when Nyiva Mwendwa went with her hair dresser for an overseas trip. This is unjustifiable, travesity, impunity and at worse insulting the people of Kenya intelligence. This should be one very good reason why Kenyans should take to the streets. How come you cannot settle 2000 poor people but you can give an rich individual over $900 per day with hotel expences paid for 10 days. I have travelled enough to know that a Kenyan cannot dare pay $300 for breakfast, $300 lunch and $300 for dinner unless it is a life and death situtaion, even $50 per meal for a Kenyan is too much. Even US senators the richest country in the world do not get that. It is amazing Raila was supporting this and when Judy who worked very hard for Raila questioned this, some headless chickens following their stomach pounced on her because she wrote poor english. Sirs, correct the english but also dare tell your king that he is naked. That is what Judy did. Judy has worked so hard for this course. She has every right to straighten it.

I haven't met her in person and I don't know her personally. Judy seems to address key issues of concern to all of us Kenyans. However, Judy needs to know that people will judge her by more than just what she addresses in her contributions. She'll be judged by her attitude. She'll be judged by her credibility. She'll be judged by her language. When she calls herself the "Diaspora Spokesperson," Kenyans will want to know how she came to be a spokesperson for the Kenyan Diaspora and whether she is spokesperson for the Kenyan or African Diaspora, and I think this is a legitimate question that our sister ought to answer satisfactorily. Personally, when I see the name of her organization, "Confederation Council Foundation for Africa Inc.," I think that it invites people to want to know more about its credibility. A good, credible corporate name is short (e.g. Uchumi, Windsor), and if it contains more than one word, the words are organized in good grammatical order to appropriately complement each other, like "Kenya National Cereals Board," or "Association of People Living with AIDS." But, "Confederation Council Foundation for Africa Inc.?" How do these nouns complement each other in this name and what does the name mean? Judy may not realize that the name of her organization is the first thing any reader of hers notices and may ultimately be her albatross. Otherwise, you're right in your observations. We want to be part of our country and we want to contribute, together with our sisters and brothers in the country, to its development where we can and where we are allowed to. What I've noticed is that as you correctly observe, when I lived in my country, acts of corruption never bothered me. I saw them happen and it was none of my business. I saw cases of abuse of office, but I continued with my life. After seeing how cases of corruption and abuse of office are loathed and fiercely prosecuted in the US, I wonder how we as a country can overlook these vises when their impact on our development as a country is unmistakable! These are some of the areas in which I'd love to contribute by seeking ways of eradicating the vises from my country. I'd love to join hands with some of my sisters and brothers to initiate small scale investment projects that would help my people and country.

Christmas is an opportunity for us to indulge our senses with a good conscious. Just take it for granted that Jesus was born, in any case he never told anyone to celebrate his birth. It is in that celebretory, hedonistic mood that I take this opportunity to encourage you to make it a merrier christmas. Deny yourself no happiness and fear not death for we all must die any way. some will scare you with talk of hell but have you seen hell yourself?

I was arguing with a friend who come from Kalenjin community and he was telling me how Raila is a bad man. I then asked him to tell me what Raila has done that they think is wrong! He could not only telling me about the little children in Mau, fine the children. In my village there are people who are poor, and they are the majority. They can't affort food whether you they are evicted or not. My parents were once like that, so i decided to change that by working hard and I am able to feed them and myself, take my kids for picnics, swimming, out etc. So what the people in Mau need is someone who can motivate them. A leader like Peter Keneth who can give them hope, they need someone who can help them start life after Mau. I am telling that there are so many IDP who were compensated and they drank all the money. The same will apply here. So Raila is right on Mau.

I see one Dr. Abonyo has presented? a great "Mis- Analysis" of Raila and who Raila needs to be with to win the Presidency. Well this is great. For a moment I thought Raila only needs to gain the confidence of the Kenyan Voter to be able to win a Presidential contest.According to Daktari, all Raila needs to? do is is to have Ruto, in his Bandwagon to win?the Presidency. But one problem is suppose the Citizens reject both Raila and Ruto, then what happens? Secondly he, Dr. Abonyo is?not consulting with Raila to know where Raila Stands. I mean suppose Raila decided that there is too much circus with Kenyan Politicians, and chooses not to run. What happens after that???? ? Despite that I would strongly?suggest to Daktari, he may wonna read the analysis from "Breigner" in this forum, before?he decided to deride Raila, goring him to death. After that we might wonna ask you to analyze for us what happened that led to Raila and many others pulling out of KANU and?forming LDP. Ask Ruto what he did with the resolutions that were reached at the KANU meeting on election rules. ? Did he Ruto lock himself in a Room,?to cook the resolutions and change the regulations? Did he insubordinate his Party's secretary by making that announcement which locked out the Likes of Saitoti, Kalonzo Musyoka, Ntimama, Nyaga, and a number of other Kanu members from?applying to contest the seats? Why did many of those Party Members run to Raila, seeking him to clear the air, only to find out that Raila was also not aware. Neither had he been informed of the changes. Yet when he made a telephone Call?to the Deputy secretary, he was told that that decision was Final. Who made the decisions to be Final, while the Secretary to the Party was not aware? Daktari do you remember Raila?clearing the air as to the Confusion by reading the resolutions and the regulations to the press and the public, that he?as the secretary General was asking all those who were interested in contesting for Kanu office bearers,?as well as party nominations to disregard Assistant Secretary's directives, to proceed on to submit their application forms to Kanu Headquarters.. ? Daktari do you also remember that, after this episode of insubordination, Raila later found out that someone had interfered with?the KANU Members register and his name was missing from that Register. Hmmmh! Kanu inawenyewe, remember!? Daktari could you please explain in a short analysis, what happened to simple?KANU Party rules which every Member knew and had a copy of, but which Ruto as the Assistant Secretary decided?to change. ? Fast forward to the ODM nominations. New politics had been ushered in by this one Tinga, where he urged everyone vying for the Presidential Nomination, to sell themselves and their agenda to Kenyans including those in the Diaspora. Some Kenyans who were eager for change decided to raise money and have all those ODM?Presidential candidates? give a speech at the backyard of Buckingham Palace. Raila and Honorable Nyaga arrived there on time. But the other bunch (Majina zao nimezibana), developed cold feet and did not go to England. ? Even after that debacle they blamed Raila for trying to outdo them. Question is what were they scared of? And how Comes Hon Joseph Nyaga was brave enough to go and present himself to the people? My take is, these leaders had nothing to offer to Kenyans other than tribe. And since out there there was?no tribal?empathy, but just Kenyans, they had to shy away and stay in Nairobi. ? Daktari if in your learned mind you believe beyond reasonable doubt, that Raila is self destructing, and that these other people you keep pitting against Raila, are the good ones, then,?you might be?behaving like the Fool who was on a Frying Pan (Furumbem in Kiluhya), but on realizing the Pan was becoming too hot, decided to Jump over into the Fire to save himself. To me Raila looks like he wants to Lead the people where there will be the rule of law, checks and balances. ? Now, if you say that there is any other top Leader currently in Kenya Parliament, whom is striving to Lead the Country with some of those Values in mind, then?I will conclude that you are at a very high level of "Utopian World". For that reason you might wonna climb down the ladder just a little bit, to the level of Mwanainchi, so that you may see the "HANIAFU" colors of these Leaders? ? Raila in Kanu, was constantly undermined, by his Assistant secretary, and other officers who were constantly reminded that "KANU INAWENYEWE". When he was Minister in charge of Roads he made a very Bold Step, to bring in Sanity by re-structuring the road network in the City center. He introduced the One Way routes, which eased the maddening congestion that was already choking Nairobi. He then embarked?on bringing into reality the Construction of a Beltway around Nairobi. BOLDLY, RAILA gave notice to the Land Grabbers to vacate Road reserves to pave way for the beltway. ? At that time Many politicians made a lot of Noise. Some said the "Kihii" was destroying Andu aa nyumba's property. Well, do?you know what happened? Ten years down the Line those who were opposing?Tinga, saw the sense of what he was trying to do. The Construction of the Beltway is underway. The Man hours that have been wasted by congested Roads in Nairobi for the last five years alone, could have given Kenya a big leap towards Industrialization. ? As a Minister of Energy, Raila solicited for funds and got a Donna, to construct a Hydro Electric Plant, away, from the River TANA Line (Kindaruma, Kamburu, Masinga and Kiambere are all located on Tana). This he argued would boost KVA on the Grid, while at the same time the Load on River Tana especially during the Dry spells when the Water Level?is down making the Plants be inoperable. So Sondu/Miriu Plant was born. Interestingly, the government Faulted on releasing its part of the Funds and Miriu project almost died. But the Man (Amolo Tinga)?got another donor to inject more money on the project and Miriu came into being. ? Right now Raila is fighting "Fools" trying to make them see sense as to the necessity of preserving the Forest for future Generation, but all these Fools can see is Tribe. These Leaders, long ago, bought a? "CHEAP LEADERSHIP TOOLBOX,?full of Tools, hundreds of them. Yet each and every tool in that box,?unfortunately, is a "TRIBE" tool. Whenever they retrieve one to fix a problem, it always turns out to be Tribe. For example whenever an illiterate mediocre performing person is?relieved from holding an office, these Leaders will pull out the Tribe Tool;......Yeah! Our Tribe is being finished. A constitution is being made;....NO, we must think of our tribe. ?Improving Road Network,...........NO, NO, NO! now he is destroying our tribes people's property!!!!!!! ? Raila politely asks people who are destroying Forest to move out to pave way for reclaiming the Forest,........... And they go into a cacophonic frenzy. OOOh! Our people must be respected. Those who evicted out our people from Forest land are WAHUNI (Barbaric in nature),?they are Tribal and dada dada daaa. For all they can see as Leaders is tribe. ? But tell you what, ten years down the line, they and?many other people, including you Bwana Daktari, will come to? a "Too late realization", ?that, rather than fight him they would have mobilized and joined Raila in his?efforts to Conserve these Forests. ? Have a conservation Day. But Remember this, that the same Tinga you are barraging with arrow like words here, is truly for the Mwanainchi and Kenya, while those you give a lot of respect and credence here might turn out to be only after their stomachs and "grabbable" wealth. Raila with all his ills, is?500times more sane than the rest of them. ?

As many have said, "Raila is fighting back". However, the real question is, "Raila is fighting who back?". I?am thrilled to answer this question. In brief, Raila is fighting himself. ? After working very hard to consolidate a pwerhouse in the ODM,?Raila embarked on a desperate move to dismatle it.?First he disolved the pentagon then declared himself the sole party leader. Things backfired and the pentagon had to be reconstituted. Notwithstanding the damage had been done. Then came the issue of youths rotting in jail after the postelection violence to which Ngilu was almost kicked out softly. Immediately after that?the raging storm was still on, the hague and Ruto followed by Ruto and the maize scandal arrived. Ruto was not blind he saw his friend Raila?was able to rescue him but instead Raila cut off the rope?that Ruto held on to let him?slip and sink into the?rot?which both?Raila?and Ruto created together. A friend in need is a friend indeed. But at the same time, the person who can bring you down faster is your friend. To Ruto, Raila proved to be a betrayer rather than a friend. Raila became a backstabber. Raila chose to reallign himself with those who fought?both Ruto and Raila?at the expence of those who shed their blood and lost their lives for him. In this case one cannot blame the son of Samoei for saying enough is enough when he met his tribesmen walking their donkeys toward the roadside where their half naked buttocks was being eaten by the mau cold. ? Just why Raila concentrated on this may only be known to himslef. "Was?he?fighting the right war or right enemy". In my view, these fights were completely unecessary for Raila. He should have not initiated it. He needed Ruto as much as Ruto needed him. Ruto tried to hang in there but the assault was too much. Respect was already lost and Raila was not consulting Ruto on anything including things in Ruto's Rift Valley tuff.?However Raila still?needed Ruto for 2012 and by Raila constantly fighting Ruto, he was simply shooting himself in the foot. ? The reason for this war has not been understood even by Raila closest associates. Many would prefer to keep Ruto in ODM because it makes it easy to fight the real opposition. Just why Raila did this baffles many. Was Ruto a threat to the possibility of?the son of?Jaramogi?being chosen the ODM presidential candidate? I doubt it because in ODM Ruto is no match for Raila. Was Ruto threatening to dislodge Raila's silent dog, Musalia Mudavadi? May be. Was he afraid? Ruto could testify and mention?him at the hague hence Raila wanted to dissociate himself from Ruto early? Possibly. All in all my best gues is that Raila saw a threat in Ruto and chose to kick him out earlier rather than later. It suffices to say that the relationship is over. This is just a rerun between Raila and Wamalwa or Raila and Kalonzo. It is going to be impossible for Raila and Ruto to come back together or if they come together, they will still backstab each other. Like Kalonzo, Ruto is going to be the force that blocks Raila from presidency. He has some votes. People should not forget that. ? Now the fight began, procceded and the dust is settling a little bit. Who won and how? I still contend that Raila lost but Ruto did not?gain what Raila lost. This is why. In 2012, Raila got majority of the votes from Rift Valley. Whatever Raila does and however he twists it, he will not get the same ammount of votes from this region if he does not work it with Ruto. Infact he will get less than 30% of the votes he got last time if Kosgey and Sirma stick with him. The Rift Valley was the swing vote for Raila, if he cannot bag 70% of this vote, it will become near impossible to clinch the presidency irrespective of how many people show up at Tononoka. The winning votes are not at Tononoka, it is in the Rift Valley. The coast, western and Eastern are always didivided. Raila will not be a clear winner of?2012 elections and this is what Ruto was working on after being mistreated and he has successfully done it. ? The only lousy thing Ruto did was to join CAMPS too fast. The Kalenjins are very weary of another Kikuyu leadership and Ruto should have known that a fight with Raila does not imply a friendship with Uhuru. The Kalenjins do not want to hear the name Kenyatta anywhere close to power hence as soon as Ruto jumped ship, his best bet was to build a new ship without Uhuru at the top.?However, incase Uhuru allow Ruto to be at the top of the ticket, Raila will have a real fight in the Rift Valley, central and Eastern. ? For?the Kenyan public these things are working in the right direction for a brand new leadership. It is time for the storm to push the takataka to the sea as Raila himself said?and a complete new leader emerge. Again I say, "It?is time for change" Dr. Barack Otieno Abonyo? Daktari, Do you remember YK92? Do you recall what that group did to the country's economy? Do you know "jirongo" (the currency, not the man!)? Now, what you are telling is is that Kenyans are gullible enough (yes, we are, perhaps) to swallow another YK92 renamed to YK2012 hook, bait and sinker? You've done quite a good analysis there, but you missed the point. Raila is fighting not himself but for Kenyans. You've promptly forgotten that all the current flame wars (I don't want to term them political for they are not) are about the Mau and those who have vested interests in it. Please keep your eye on the ball! At the end of the day, you've ended up reading political alignements in the current squabbles. One year in politics is a very long time, and 2012 is 2 years away. Much of what you see now is gonna change shortly. Politicos are always about scheming for power. Remember also that in politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies. It's always about "me". Have you forgotten about the rotten maize? Have you forgotten about the subsidized flour that never was? The talk about the country is just the icing on the cake, which itself is quite bitter. If you asked me who I'd vote for if elections were called today, I'd say .... none, and I know that makes you happy, but that doesn't legitimize your skewed analysis. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." ? ? ? ? ? ? ? -- Lucky Dube -- TODAY!!

There is a previous mail before this, that I?posted, where I responded to Dr. Abonyo's analysis of Raila Odinga's failures. In the response I mentioned that, many of the Leaders fighting against Raila have NOTHING MORE TO OFFER THAN TRIBE. That was my position and I was hoping that someone can prove me wrong by giving a CHRONOLOGY of national issues that these Leaders have?worked on. I hope I will get one, so that I can change my mind.As for now, I am convinced that, other than Tribal sentiments these Leaders fighting against the Prime Minister has nothing else to offer. ? My position has been strengthened?further, after reading this in depth analysis from "KUMEKUCHA", which also have been posted by Dr. Abonyo. I have gone through it, and in a quick summary, the whole text only?talks about individuals and Tribal leaders. It is an article that 100% dwells on pitting one tribe against another, Luo Vs Ruto's tribe and so on and so forth. ? Now after the 2007 violence, one would have thought that Leaderwouldud be striving to promote Unity, or even working to bring harmony into a Party like ODM. But as it is clear here many Many people and or Leaders are only bent on Promoting Tribalism. ? In my mind the major issue here is two Leaders; Ruto and Raila. Out of the two, one is trying to get a balance to bring harmony and peace between tribes. This is Raila. On the other hand Ruto has tried to rally one tribe to oppose whatever Raila is trying to achieve. I think this is pretty sad. If any one is in doubt about this, then, follow the activities of the two, whether in the Rift Valley or in any other Province in Kenya. Raila has gone in those places and promoted peace and harmony. Raila goes to all corners of the Republic giving hope to the down trodden. that there will be a better tomorrow. If all Leaders would do this then Kenya would be one better place. ? Flip this picture and? come to his opponent, then try to go for the same values of hope and peace. and you get 0% (Zero percent) input. Someone might want to throw this in the works, that Raila evicted poor people from their farms in the Mau forest. Hmmmm! Is this true? Or did some TRIBAL CHIEFS TAKE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SETTLE SCORES? Did not Raila go to Parliament and tabled this issue in there. If so, how comes the members from the affected areas never came up with suggestions for alternatives? Or why did they not follow rules to also table their concerns, so that the House members could discuss this and find better ways that would be agreed by all before those Citizens were asked to move out. ? Instead these Politicians headed by Ruto made the whole exersise turn into a National Disaster. Ruto wanted fame as a tribal Kingpin. He was never really interested in the welfare of those families. How comes Ruto never gave out any alternative solutions to this saga. All I heard from him was Our people will not move. They must be respected. Well, Ok', they can be respected at this moment, but will that respect be there when they will be dying of Hunger and begging for food as a result of drought due to failed Rains? For me I would rather be disrespected than beg for food. The latter is the worst situation that any human being would wonna be in, cause you end up being treated like a Dog (an animal) and not a human being.? ? Something tells me, Bwana William, that you can be a desastrous Leader to your people because you cannot visualize what the Future holds for?them. Mr William as a Leader many people look up to you to bring peace and harmony amongst them. They also look to you, to provide wisdom and to protect their future. Unfortunately all these are lacking at the moment. ? Bwana Samoei, if truly you are concerned?about your people, then work for them. I would also imagine that your?concern is not only for your people, but the rest of Kenyans as well. If so then stop these back hand tactics to settle some scores against the Premier. Instead come out and work with him to find solutions to these problems. If you pool your Ideas together, then there is no way you can fail to get solutions. But your tactics of hitting below the "belt" will not get solutions to your people, neither will it bring harmony. It can only bring divisions, the likes that was visited on?Kenyans between 1982 to 2002. Do you really want to get Kenya back to those ages or do you want to move forward and create your own Legacy for a better Kenya? ? ?K'Onyiego --- On Tue, 12/8/09, barack abonyo wrote: From: barack abonyo Subject: [YP_Ke] INTERESTING READS FROM KUMEKUCHA ON RAILA RUTO BATTLE To: "newvision" , "kca" Cc: "jaluo jaluo" , "youngprofessionals" , "nyciv" , editor at majimbokenya.com Date: Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 2:36 PM Thursday, December 03, 2009 Raila Vs Ruto Political Duel: Raila Fast Digging His Political Grave! See also most recent article by Chris: Why Ruto will win the war against Raila Some of the things Kumekucha is reading: Annonymous comment costs employee his job By Guest Writer In the height of post-election violence, William Ruto and Najib Balala were key ODM figures who fought the Raila?s mass action war of ?stolen? presidency like their own personal fight and the TV images of the two fleeing in Nairobi streets from mean-looking GSU officers lobbing tear-gas at them are still fresh in my mind. The two men were ready to die for Raila. Remember Balala even shed tears when he stepped down for Raila during ODM presidential nomination at Kasarani. That?s as far as the marriage of convenience lasted. The unfolding drama and imminent fall out in ODM was not unexpected but I could not imagine Raila falling out with Ruto and Balala. The fall out best explains how Kenya politics is fluid. Raila largely owes his position and the powers he enjoys to Ruto and Balala. Apart from vigorously campaigning for Raila in the 2007 General Elections, Ruto and Balala took charge of Raila?s mass action call and rallied ODM supporters and their affiliate tribes to civil disobedience to protest Kibaki?s controversial win. The fall out is a big lesson to other politicians and tribes ? never fight another man?s war or kill in their name. If Raila called for the mass action and only Luos heeded his call, Kenyans wouldn?t have been subjected to PEV or violence would have been minimal and of little consequence. But Ruto?s powerbase, the Rift Valley, was the main battle zone for PEV and the tragic and barbaric events in the province were what put Kenya on the international radar. Without Ruto and Balala and the Rift Valley primitive slaughter, Raila would have reluctantly settled for the humble position of the Official Opposition Leader. But thanks to the blood of innocent Kenyans, Raila landed on the prime post he is now using to flex his muscles against the foot soldiers and lieutenants who killed and uprooted innocent from their homes and businesses in his name. Ruto and Balala are the equivalent of Martha Karua, who toppled the scale against Raila on the finishing line and ensured Kibaki got a controversial second term. Without Karua, Kibaki would have kissed goodbye to the presidency. The Krieger Report told us neither Kibaki nor Raila could stake a high moral ground and claim they legally won. ODM and PNU fiddled with election results in their strongholds. Kibaki and Raila loyalists can fume with that assertion but that?s the reality. For that, Raila and Kibaki equally share the blame in 2008 PEV. The seeds of hatred were sowed by Kibaki when he refused to honour a pre-election MoU with Raila when he came to power in 2002. Kibaki added fuel to the fire when he started weeding out key Kalenjins from his new Administration. Kalenjins regarded the presidency to be synonymous to Moi and as if State House was their property. They were bitter loosing power to a Kikuyu. Ruto and Kalenjins would be consigned to the political dustbin were it not for Kibaki?s poor judgment in politics. After the fall out with Kibaki over dishonoured MoU, Raila?s only option was to team up with Kibaki?s enemies and that?s how Kalenjins and leaders who had looted state coffers or had criminal records (some murderers for their roles in 1992 and 1997 tribal clashes), and killers likes of Ole Ntimama, got a new lifeline. Raila and his new-found allies saw the best way to fight Kibaki was to pour petrol to the fire of hatred, which he had lit with the dishonoured MoU. The birth of ODM after the 2005 referendum was based on pure hatred towards Mt Kenya folks and revenge against Kibaki. Thanks to Kibaki?s failures and fall out with Raila, Moi today looks like a saint despite his many dark evils in his 24-year rule. ODM big guns and their supporters held divergent personal and political ideologies and their marriage was only for convenience but not driven by desire to bring genuine change and reforms in Kenya. These were strange bedfellows. ODM was meant to replace Kibaki?s eating club with new or re-packaged thieves and looters. But the revenge against Kibaki and by extent his tribe, the Kikuyus, was the temporary glue that brought political conmen, looters, murderers and graft lords together. The glue held up to the 2007 Presidential elections and Kenya went to elections in a charged and polluted environment. The ODM unity of purpose ? to kick out Kibaki from State House ? was what made Raila?s mass action call work. Sooner or later, party time and honeymoon was going to be over for Raila and his ODM. Unknown to Ruto and Balala, Koffi Annan was pushing for ceasefire and a Grand Coalition Government without revealing his true intentions. He wanted to bring peace but ensure killers were punished. In fact, Raila and ODM were the ones who wanted Annan and the international to intervene claiming they had been robbed of the presidency by Kibaki. Kibaki and his allies were content after retaining the presidency and they didn?t want Annan to come in. Raila and ODM got an upper hand and Kibaki conceded to share power. The man ODM saw as their saviour had a trick up his sleeve ? unleashing the ICC and Ocampo after the PEV dust settled. Ruto and his ODM thought the PEV issue ended as soon as Kibaki and Raila signed a peace deal. How mistaken they were! To the disbelief of Ruto, Balala and others who suspect their names were in the Waki envelope, Raila backed trial of PEV suspects. This is after Raila had equated the PEV killers to freedom fighters! What a betrayal from the mass action general. Raila looked at 2007 General Election as the end of the world ? it was a do or die. He forgot he could loose and vie another day. His mass action call gave birth to mass murder and Kikuyus suffered the most. Raila realised the folly of his mass action call and warmed up to Kikuyus and to the larger Mt Kenya people after he invited Kibaki to his Bondo home. He now enjoys a good working relationship with Kibaki. When relations improved, Kibaki cleverly pushed the explosive Mau eviction issue to Raila and the PM enthusiastically took it up hoping to win an image of a national and international leader. Raila has received a huge sarcastic backing from Mt Kenya folks on the Mau issue ? but that will remain as far as Mau forest is concerned. In public, Mt Kenya folks displaying their ?support? to Raila in regard to Mau, while in private laughing as Raila?s burns the bridges that propelled him to where he is today. Doubt this? Read comments on Daily Nation website everyday and guess who are cheering on Raila. In evicting Kalenjins from Mau, Raila is stepping on the toes of murders, thieves, looters and land grabbers who had played a key role in his 2007 presidential campaign and what he is today. The current fall out was inevitable. Mt Kenya are arguing Raila is unknowingly revenging on them for what Kalenjins did to their Gema kinsmen in 2008. What a better way to get revenge for Kikuyus killed and uprooted from RV? By using their 2007 hero, Raila! Those who wish away Kikuyus to play a major role in any election are doomed. Kikuyus have the numbers and they vote to preserve their selfish interests ? to protect their wealth. In this regard, even if a Kikuyu doesn?t vie for the top seat in 2012 to avoid a repeat of the backlash of 2007, the community will play a big role in deciding Kenya?s next CEO. If no Kikuyu garners for the top seat, Raila?s campaign will be largely deflated as he will not have the ammunitions he had in 2007, rallying other tribes against Mt Kenya folks. Raila?s political future will be doomed. Unlike Luos who openly express their anger and thoughts and you can easily read their mind and next move, Kikuyus are the opposite. Luos may have celebrated too early that they managed to drive a final nail in the coffin of the frosty relations between Kikuyus and Kalenjins ? stemming from land in Rift Valley. Kikuyus in Rift Valley may never mend fences with Kalenjins. But Kikuyus in Central Province and elsewhere have nothing to loose in mending fences with Kalenjins as long as that will place them in leadership or the next Government. Furthermore, Kikuyus and Kalenjins have a lot at stake ? land in Rift Valley. What have Luos to offer Kikuyus? Kikuyus can bury their past grudges as long as Kalenjins are willing to accommodate them in RV. In this regard, Raila made the 2007 General Election look like a personal battle against Kikuyus and majority of Kikuyus believe they would not have fallen victims and suffered so much due to PEV were it not for Raila. Even before 2007, majority of Kikuyus openly said they couldn?t vote for a Luo, more so Raila. Raila?s tribal and hatred politics that led to PEV permanently burnt his political bridges with Mt Kenya folks. Raila may have toned down his hard politics on Kibaki to please Mt Kenya folks, but they are unlikely to ever forgive him for the PEV. >From the look of things, Ocampo is unlikely to go after Kibaki and Raila. Kibaki loses nothing since he is doing his last term. If Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta are both indicted by Ocampo over PEV and leave Raila, Kikuyus and Kalenjins will be united by a common purpose as happened in the recent Mau evictees fund-raising. The common enemy for the two tribes will be Raila and they will never forgive him for his mass action call that gave birth to PEV and took their sons to Hague. In such a scenario, the person who will be smiling all the way to the bank and likely to reap is one Kalonzo Musyoka. He?ll tell Kikuyus: ?I rushed to boost Kibaki from Raila on slot after the disputed polls and you retained the presidency.? He?ll turn to Kalenjins and tell them: ?I warned you about Raila. Look at what he has done with you with Mau and with Ruto.? The Mau eviction and PEV trials were the turning point of Raila and Kalenjins and only a divine intervention can save Raila from the imminent tsunami he faces in 20120 and beyond. Raila mistakenly believes if Hague takes Uhuru and Ruto, his ambitions to rule Kenya are home and sealed. I bet Raila will die like his father before he rules Kenya. The best Raila and his father managed is a step away from the throne. It is very unlikely Kibaki will back Raila in 2012 and Kikuyus are very unlikely to vote for Raila come rain come sunshine ? even with Kibaki?s backing. Lacking a better strategy to tame the Ruto-Balala axis, Raila has resorted to laughable theatrics by challenging them to quit the Cabinet. That?s a very cowardly challenge. If you are an employer and your employee openly defies you, do you keep daring him to quit or you sack him? A rogue employee looses nothing clinging on and making trouble from within. Ruto and Balala have equally hit back and said they did not fear being sacked. Raila?s frequent challenge to Ruto & Co to quit shows he has no moral courage to fire the group. He would be digging deeper his political grave. Raila is playing holistic politics. Didn?t the same Raila rock Kibaki?s Govt from within in Narc and after becoming PM? I believe Ruto and Balala have psychologically set their minds Hague is real. They must have decided even if they went to Hague, they?ll sink the political ambitions of the thankless general they fought for. Raila is fast digging his political grave and if I was him, I would do all I can to win back the Ruto-Balala axis, to win their tribesmen and women. Due to his greed for power, Raila is fast digging his political grave while being cheered by his enemies and his blind supporters. Let?s wait and see if the powerful Kikuyu block with vote for him in 2012. Kibaki in his first term evicted settlers from Mau forest. Raila ganged up with Ruto and his allies denouncing Kibaki and introducing hate and tribal politics. They used Mau evictions as ammunition against Kibaki in 2005 referendum. When campaigning 2007 presidential elections, Raila and allies perfected hate politics and again used Mau to settle scores with Kibaki and assured settlers they wouldn?t be evicted. Raila scored political mileage and won Kalenjin votes. Ruto and allies perfecting what their master taught them. Kibaki has last laugh as Raila?s hate politics returns to haunt him. Kibaki is playing clever. He agreed to a truce with Raila and allows him to flex his muscle and exercise his perceived and illusionary powers (Kibaki retains all executive powers) as he sits back to enjoy his former enemies fighting each other and their general. If Hague prunes Ruto and Uhuru from Kenya?s political map, I encourage doubting Thomases and Raila?s blind ardent follows to keep a copy of this story as a historical reference. I love this show. Who would have expected a fall out after all the chest-thumping in ODM in the run up to 2007. P.S. And on the CoE constitution, I share Moi?s stand and concerns. Kenya should have one CEO, pure presidential and system. The CEO?s power should be drastically watered down and checked by strong judiciary and parliament. All appointments must be endorsed by Parliament to curb tribalism and nepotism. Two centres of power will put Kenya permanently on tension due to power struggle between president and PM, driving away investors and tourists. Two centres of power will spell doom for the future survival of Kenya. Raila and his like-minded shud should seek our mandate if they want to rule but not grab power through back door.

Since you support the Islamic agenda being in the draft Constitution, and since Islam is a religious organization, what do you think about Christian Agenda being included in the Draft Constitution? If at all you do not support the latter Idea, then why would it be important to include these Spiritual matters in the Constitution? I ask this because there is a possibility that one day we might end up with a "deranged" Leader who may want to misuse these parts of the Constitution to bring in things like Sharia Laws or Christian Law, since they are entrenched in our Constitution? Would it not be wise, therefore, to Leave these Spiritual?matters to the Spiritual Believers, other than forcing them into the Constitution? And what happens to Spiritual organizations like Hinduism, or Buddhism??Or still, to?the Local Religions followed by the Maa speakers, or those who follow 'Nyasach Rabala gi Dwe", Dini ya Msambwa, and worse still those who do not believe in Religion at all, the "Atheists"? ? In my mind, Religion is better left out of the Constitution, for it deals with spiritual belief, which may have little bearing on Laws that govern everyday life of every individual in the Republic. Insisting on including some religious clauses in the Constitution therefore excludes?millions of?people who are not adherents to that particular religion. This may bring conflict of interest in future.? ? I would therefore suggest that Religious sentiments or rights be given a "Blanket Right", and that is "The Citizens have fundamental Rights of freedom to pursue religion under the Laws of Kenya." This then protects all, in religious matters irrespective of DINI.

In Kenya it specifically means a Muslim magistrate who has the power of adjudicating on matters according to Islamic law otherwise referred to as Sharia law. The Kadhis? Court has been in operation ever since before our country?s independence, although with limited jurisdiction. However it has been operating under Kenya?s present Constitution dispensation since 1963. Jurisdiction. The Kadhis? Court has jurisdiction regarding the determination of questions of Muslim Law relating to personal status,marriage,divorce or inheritance in proceedings in which all parties are Muslims. There are about 17 Kadhis nationwide serving in different parts of the country. These courts are located in various parts of the country including: Kwale,Kilifi, Mombasa and Lamu districts; Nyanza and Western provinces; several districts in Rift Valley province; Wajir and Mandera districts; Nairobi, Central and Eastern Provinces; Garissa and Tana River districts; and Marsabit and Isiolo districts. Hierarchy. The structure of the Kadhis? Courts includes: The Chief Kadhi Deputy Chief Kadhi Principal Kadhi Senior Kadhi Kadhi 1 and Kadhi 2 They are all appointed by the Judicial Service Commission. ? HOW THE COURT WORKS The rules of procedure applied in the Kadhis? Court are similar to those in ordinary courts. As such, the Civil Procedure Act chapter 21 of Kenya also applies to the functioning of the Kadhis? court. The Kadhis? Court in Nairobi, as a point in case, is located in Upper hill. Inquiries by prospective applicants may be made at the Registry. There is also a court clerk who may offer assistance as to the proper documentation and payments necessary to be made before an application is made. The litigant is permitted to bring his application himself or may appoint a representative(advocate) to do so on his behalf. An advocate of the High Court is allowed to represent an applicant in the Kadhis? court Kadhis? courts operate based on the same court calendar as the other ordinary court. Consequently, the officers of the court are entitled to an annual leave, though there is no court leave. The Kadhis? Court, however remains closed during the weekends and any public holidays. njoki ? ?

But this shared interest goes much further Michael Wolfe Jesus of Nazareth is one of the most widely revered religious figure in the world. Not only is he central to Christianity, the largest religion in the world, he is also venerated throughout Islam, the world's second largest faith. Christians may be surprised to learn that Muslims believe in the Virgin Birth and Jesus' miracles. But this shared interest in his message goes much further. In our scientific age, the miraculous side of Jesus' story has greatly obscured his role in the prophetic tradition. In this sense, there may be more important questions for Muslims and Christians than whether he walked on water or raised the dead. In the Muslim view, Jesus' essential work was not to replicate magic bread or to test our credulity, but to complement the legalism of the Torah with a leavening compassion rarely expressed in the older testament. His actions and words introduce something new to monotheism: They develop the merciful spirit of God's nature. Jesus confirmed the Torah, stressing the continuity of his lineage, but he also developed the importance of compassion and self-purification as crucial links between learning the words of God's message and possessing the wisdom to carry it out. Oddly enough, some of the recent work by New Testament scholars seems to have reached a view of Christ not all that different from Muslims'. For us and for these scholars, Jesus appears not as a literal son of God in human form, but as an inspired human being, a teacher of wisdom with a talent for love drawn from an unbroken relationship to God. Both versions present him as a man who spoke to common people in universal terms. Two events in the life of the prophet Muhammad may help explain why Muslims revere the Christian Jesus. The first event involves an elder resident of Mecca named Waraqa bin Nawfal. This man was an early Arab Christian and an uncle of Muhammad's wife, Khadija. We know he could read Hebrew, that he was mystical by nature, and that he attended Khadija and Muhammad's wedding in about 595 C.E. Fifteen years later, a worried Khadija sought Waraqa out and brought her husband to him. At the time, Muhammad was a 40-year-old respected family man. He attended this "family therapy" session in a rare state of agitation. He was frightened. He had been meditating one evening in a cave on the outskirts of town. There, while half asleep, he had experienced something so disturbing that he feared he was possessed. A voice had spoken to him. Waraqa listened to his story, which Muslims will recognize as a description of Muhammad's first encounter with the angel Gabriel. When it was finished, Waraqa assured him he was not possessed. "What you have heard is the voice of the same spiritual messenger God sent to Moses. I wish I could be a young man when you become a prophet! I would like to be alive when your own people expel you." "Will they expel me?" Muhammad asked. "Yes," the old man said. "No one has ever brought his people the news you bring without meeting hostility. If I live to see the day, I will support you." Christians will recognize in Waraqa's remarks an aphorism associated with Jesus: "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country." But that a Christian should first have verified Muhammad's role as a prophet may come as a surprise. The second important event concerning Islam and Christianity dates from 616, a few years after Muhammad began to preach publicly. This first attempt to reinstate the Abrahamic tradition in Mecca met (as Waraqa had warned) with violent opposition. Perhaps the Meccans resented Muhammad's special claim. Perhaps his message of a single, invisible, ever-present God threatened the economy of their city. A month's ride south from the centers of power in Syria and Persia, poor remote Mecca depended on long-distance trade and on seasonal pilgrims who came there each year to honor hundreds of pagan idols, paying a tax to do so. At any rate, Muhammad's disruptive suggestion that "God was One" and could be found anywhere did not sit well with the businessmen of Mecca. Many new Muslims were being tortured. Their livelihoods were threatened, their families persecuted. As matters grew worse, in 616 Muhammad sent a small band of followers across the Red Sea to seek shelter in the Christian kingdom of Axum. There, he told them, they would find a just ruler, the Negus, who could protect them. The Muslims found the Negus in his palace, somewhere in the borderland between modern Ethiopia and Eritrea. And protect them he did, after one Muslim recited to him some lines on the Virgin Mary from the Qur'an. The Negus wept at what he heard. Between Christians and Muslims, he said, he could not make out more difference than the thickness of a twig. These two stories underscore the support Christians gave Muhammad in times of trial. The Qur'an distils the meaning from the drama: "Those who feel the most affection For us (who put our faith in the Qur'an), Are those that say, "We are Christians," For priests and monks live among them Who are not arrogant. When they listen To what We have shown Muhammad, Their eyes brim over with tears At the truth they find there...." (Qur'an, 5:82). Even today, when a Muslim mentions Jesus' name, you will hear it followed by the phrase "peace and blessings be upon him," because Muslims revere him as a prophet. "We believe in God And in what has been sent down to us, What has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael And Isaac and Jacob and their offspring, And what was given to Moses and to Jesus And all the other prophets of the Lord. We make no distinction among them." (Qur'an, 2:136) As these lines from the Qur'an make clear, Muslims regard Jesus as one of the world's great teachers. He and his mentor John the Baptist stand in a lineage stretching back to the founder of ethical monotheism. Moreover, among Muslims, Jesus is a special type of prophet, a messenger empowered to communicate divinity not only in words but by miracles as well. Muslims venerate Jesus as a divinely inspired human but never, ever as "the son of God." In the same vein, we treat the concept of the Trinity as a late footnote to Jesus' teachings. Nor do Muslims view his death as an act of atonement for mankind's sins. Rather, along with the early Christian theologians who included Pelagius, Islam rejects the doctrine of original sin, a notion argued into church doctrine by St. Augustine around the year 400. It might almost be said that Islam holds a view of Jesus similar to some of the early apostolic versions condemned by the fourth-century Byzantine Church. Once Constantine installed Christianity as the Roman Empire's state religion, a rage for orthodoxy followed. The Councils of Nicaea (325), Tyre (335), Constantinople (381), Ephesus (431), and Chalcedon (451) were official, often brutal attempts to stamp out heterodox views of Jesus held by "heretical" theologians. Rulings by these councils led to the persecution and deaths of tens of thousands of early Christians at the hands of more "orthodox" Christians who condemned them. Most disputes centered on divergent interpretations of the Trinity. For this reason, historians of religion sometimes see in these bloody divisions one of the root causes for early Islam's firmly unitarian outlook. Then and now, no more dangerous religious mistake exists for a Muslim than dividing the Oneness of God by twos or threes. Despite these important differences, however, the Qur'an repeatedly counsels Muslims not to dispute with other monotheists over matters of doctrine. People, it says, believe differently for good reasons. In fact, that is a part of Allah's will. ________________________________ Michael Wolfe is a Jewish convert to Islam.

Many delegates from Africa were in full attendant and they appluded most of the time when she stressed the need to ensure Climate Justice is implemented Mr Musikari Kombo was the man of the day as he said step by step how Kenya stand to suffer if we don't adapt to new technologies to reverse Climate Change,he accused West for using Africa as a punching bag and test centers for discarded technologies which cause more harm that benefit. Africa resolved that West engage Africa when they want to make technology transfers The Danish Delegates were found on receiving end when Information was leaked that they plan to scuttle the Kyoto Agreement ,they were forced to apologize profusely as most African nation almost boycotted to engage in discussions until they Danish team retract their statements Uganda Delegate did Africa proud when they splendidly linked spread of AIDS/HIV to increase climate Change activities she said most people in Africa and Uganda are experiencing increased sex drive due to hot environments hence engaging in sex thus leading to spread of AIDS/HIV The Scientific Panel where great Scientists were deliberating mathematical models ,very few Delegates attended which showed we have to up our initiatives. Finally the unity of African at Copenhagen meeting will at least make the West make a concrete resolution ,also ensuring that no more idleing of African delegates they do meet mostly in evening to plan for any upcoming events so that they are not taken by a surprise Also Dr Kaudia from Ministry of Environment is doing a good job for debunking those difficult scientific terms so that all are in the know.

I still insist that it is safer to to give all religious organizations a "Blanket" recognition in the Constitution. However much you may want to front the Islamic Agenda, in the long run it will bring complications with the Law. Somewhere within this forum someone has explained that the Kadhi Courts are similar to local Courts. If this is true, why then do we need a parallel Court to that of the Regular Courts to address these issues of Islamic adherents. Are they not individuals that?are protected and will continue to be protected by the Laws of the Land? Don't you see here that?it is already?complicating issues. ? For me I still repeat, that the Constitution must give and protect THE RIGHT OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE FREE TO PRACTICE HIS RELIGION WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH OTHERS. I believe the Kadhi courts will not have this authority to give and to protect the individual's right to do so. ? This is the reason why I say, that let us have the Blanket Clause for all Spiritual organizations. I myself am a Christian, but I will highly be alarmed is I see Christians Insisting that their Agenda be included in the Constitution. If this ever happens, then I will be on a crusade to reject that draft, for then it will be a document that seeks exclusivity. We must treat all peoples of Kenya equal irrespective of religion or race. ? Now, the moment you allow some clauses in the Constitution to be special in defining how some individuals must be treated, then you bring in "EXCLUSIVITY",? meaning; in the eye of the Law that particular individual will be special. No No, No Abu! This must not be allowed ? The Constitution and the Law must address all individuals on the same level. Even the president must be subjected to the laws of the Land, and not the Laws of Kadhi Courts Christian Courts, Hindu courts, Dini ya Msambwa courts, Enkare Courts , or Budhist Courts. ? I say this because, I see a situation where some people will break the Law, and when they are about to be arrested, they will start Screaming, how they are Muslims or Christians and should be tried in their respective courts and so on and so forth. I think this is dangerous to say the least. ? TREAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL THE SAME. WHEN THEY BREAK THE LAW THEIR ASS SHOULD BE CHEWED BY THE GOVERNMENT LAWS COURTS PERIOD. ?

In Kenya it specifically means a Muslim magistrate who has the power of adjudicating on matters according to Islamic law otherwise referred to as Sharia law. The Kadhis? Court has been in operation ever since before our country?s independence, although with limited jurisdiction. However it has been operating under Kenya?s present Constitution dispensation since 1963. Jurisdiction. The Kadhis? Court has jurisdiction regarding the determination of questions of Muslim Law relating to personal status,marriage,divorce or inheritance in proceedings in which all parties are Muslims. There are about 17 Kadhis nationwide serving in different parts of the country. These courts are located in various parts of the country including: Kwale,Kilifi, Mombasa and Lamu districts; Nyanza and Western provinces; several districts in Rift Valley province; Wajir and Mandera districts; Nairobi, Central and Eastern Provinces; Garissa and Tana River districts; and Marsabit and Isiolo districts. Hierarchy. The structure of the Kadhis? Courts includes: The Chief Kadhi Deputy Chief Kadhi Principal Kadhi Senior Kadhi Kadhi 1 and Kadhi 2 They are all appointed by the Judicial Service Commission. ? HOW THE COURT WORKS The rules of procedure applied in the Kadhis? Court are similar to those in ordinary courts. As such, the Civil Procedure Act chapter 21 of Kenya also applies to the functioning of the Kadhis? court. The Kadhis? Court in Nairobi, as a point in case, is located in Upper hill. Inquiries by prospective applicants may be made at the Registry. There is also a court clerk who may offer assistance as to the proper documentation and payments necessary to be made before an application is made. The litigant is permitted to bring his application himself or may appoint a representative(advocate) to do so on his behalf. An advocate of the High Court is allowed to represent an applicant in the Kadhis? court Kadhis? courts operate based on the same court calendar as the other ordinary court. Consequently, the officers of the court are entitled to an annual leave, though there is no court leave. The Kadhis? Court, however remains closed during the weekends and any public holidays. njoki ? ?

And they go into a cacophonic frenzy. OOOh! Our people must be respected. Those who evicted out our people from Forest land are WAHUNI (Barbaric in nature), they are Tribal and dada dada daaa. For all they can see as Leaders is tribe" Yes no one including Ruto is saying people cannot move out of the forest. Me, Ruto and the rest are simply saying, initiate forest conservation with A PLAN. Do not just wake up and tell poor people "move" and when they move because they fear the force and settle next to the road then you tell them that they have to go where they came from. Konyiego you talked about all the good things Raila has done but you failed to address these missups. He is quick to action with no plan to counter crisis. Have you forgotten circumcision? Look in terms of who is the best of the worst we have now to lead Kenya, Raila is. And if no new person shows up Raila may still get my vote. However, by just praising he does we do neither him or Kenya justice. Did you not here his comment about $900 a day allowance comment. Would it be just right for him to keep quiet if he had a different opinion. Now I am not going through all your as some of them are right but some are way out there and border on blind support but I have to leave you with this verse in the bible. Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."

This were the same sentiments that keep being repeated by Mutahi Ngunyi, who last week gave Raila a verdict of heading nowhere. Ngunyi has failed to realise that for along time, all his predictions of Raila meeting his waterloo has come back to bounce on him and prove him is constantly proved wrong. Unfortunately the overpossession with Raila phobia in Ngunyi, has made him not realise that in all those so called betrayals, Raila has always leaned on side of the people like the 2005 referendum, where he stepped into so many toes. Raila's so called betrayals like the Uhuru case in 2002 election which was a near revolution was for the good course and it's laughable to accuse him for betraying land grabbers and self seekers in kanu. It's very ironical not to see the other side of the coin like Moi's trickery of using Raila for jogoo to swallow the tractor. Tell me how many betrayals Ruto or Uhuru has been involved in compared to Raila. Do not forget Ruto's axe to grind even within his own RV backyard with Moi, Gedion,Sirma and others like Musalia,Jirongo, Karua and the likes. So no permanent enemies or friends but only permanent interest kwa siasa. Talk of mega betrayals. Didn't Uhuru lead the kanu strong hold of RV into ODM, as kanu Chairman. He then dumped them into ODM to seek tribal sanctuary in PNU in 2007, only to resurface to parsuade the Rift Valley folks he left in ODM to come back and form kkk with him? Talk of betrayals but those like Kalonzo, who was offered VP positions in ODM, but thought they were too big for VP post, abandoned the party to wait and put pressure on Kivuitu to anounce the results of a stolen election without disregard to conequences of accepting the same VP slot from PNU kupitia katikati. So who has not betrayed who and for what course. Betrayal is part of siasa and I'm even forseeing the egocentric trio of kkk fallout out prior to 2012, and crossing over to Raila's the Jaramogi Matiba fallout way.

Well this is great. For a moment I thought Raila only needs to gain the confidence of the Kenyan Voter to be able to win a Presidential contest.According to Daktari, all Raila needs to do is is to have Ruto, in his Bandwagon to win the Presidency. But one problem is suppose the Citizens reject both Raila and Ruto, then what happens? Secondly he, Dr. Abonyo is not consulting with Raila to know where Raila Stands. I mean suppose Raila decided that there is too much circus with Kenyan Politicians, and chooses not to run. What happens after that???? Despite that I would strongly suggest to Daktari, he may wonna read the analysis from "Breigner" in this forum, before he decided to deride Raila, goring him to death. After that we might wonna ask you to analyze for us what happened that led to Raila and many others pulling out of KANU and forming LDP. Ask Ruto what he did with the resolutions that were reached at the KANU meeting on election rules. Did he Ruto lock himself in a Room, to cook the resolutions and change the regulations? Did he insubordinate his Party's secretary by making that announcement which locked out the Likes of Saitoti, Kalonzo Musyoka, Ntimama, Nyaga, and a number of other Kanu members from applying to contest the seats? Why did many of those Party Members run to Raila, seeking him to clear the air, only to find out that Raila was also not aware. Neither had he been informed of the changes. Yet when he made a telephone Call to the Deputy secretary, he was told that that decision was Final. Who made the decisions to be Final, while the Secretary to the Party was not aware? Daktari do you remember Raila clearing the air as to the Confusion by reading the resolutions and the regulations to the press and the public, that he as the secretary General was asking all those who were interested in contesting for Kanu office bearers, as well as party nominations to disregard Assistant Secretary's directives, to proceed on to submit their application forms to Kanu Headquarters.. Daktari do you also remember that, after this episode of insubordination, Raila later found out that someone had interfered with the KANU Members register and his name was missing from that Register. Hmmmh! Kanu inawenyewe, remember! Daktari could you please explain in a short analysis, what happened to simple KANU Party rules which every Member knew and had a copy of, but which Ruto as the Assistant Secretary decided to change. Fast forward to the ODM nominations. New politics had been ushered in by this one Tinga, where he urged everyone vying for the Presidential Nomination, to sell themselves and their agenda to Kenyans including those in the Diaspora. Some Kenyans who were eager for change decided to raise money and have all those ODM Presidential candidates give a speech at the backyard of Buckingham Palace. Raila and Honorable Nyaga arrived there on time. But the other bunch (Majina zao nimezibana), developed cold feet and did not go to England. Even after that debacle they blamed Raila for trying to outdo them. Question is what were they scared of? And how Comes Hon Joseph Nyaga was brave enough to go and present himself to the people? My take is, these leaders had nothing to offer to Kenyans other than tribe. And since out there there was no tribal empathy, but just Kenyans, they had to shy away and stay in Nairobi. Daktari if in your learned mind you believe beyond reasonable doubt, that Raila is self destructing, and that these other people you keep pitting against Raila, are the good ones, then, you might be behaving like the Fool who was on a Frying Pan (Furumbem in Kiluhya), but on realizing the Pan was becoming too hot, decided to Jump over into the Fire to save himself. To me Raila looks like he wants to Lead the people where there will be the rule of law, checks and balances. Now, if you say that there is any other top Leader currently in Kenya Parliament, whom is striving to Lead the Country with some of those Values in mind, then I will conclude that you are at a very high level of "Utopian World". For that reason you might wonna climb down the ladder just a little bit, to the level of Mwanainchi, so that you may see the "HANIAFU" colors of these Leaders Raila in Kanu, was constantly undermined, by his Assistant secretary, and other officers who were constantly reminded that "KANU INAWENYEWE". When he was Minister in charge of Roads he made a very Bold Step, to bring in Sanity by re-structuring the road network in the City center. He introduced the One Way routes, which eased the maddening congestion that was already choking Nairobi. He then embarked on bringing into reality the Construction of a Beltway around Nairobi. BOLDLY, RAILA gave notice to the Land Grabbers to vacate Road reserves to pave way for the beltway. At that time Many politicians made a lot of Noise. Some said the "Kihii" was destroying Andu aa nyumba's property. Well, do you know what happened? Ten years down the Line those who were opposing Tinga, saw the sense of what he was trying to do. The Construction of the Beltway is underway. The Man hours that have been wasted by congested Roads in Nairobi for the last five years alone, could have given Kenya a big leap towards Industrialization. As a Minister of Energy, Raila solicited for funds and got a Donna, to construct a Hydro Electric Plant, away, from the River TANA Line (Kindaruma, Kamburu, Masinga and Kiambere are all located on Tana). This he argued would boost KVA on the Grid, while at the same time the Load on River Tana especially during the Dry spells when the Water Level is down making the Plants be inoperable. So Sondu/Miriu Plant was born. Interestingly, the government Faulted on releasing its part of the Funds and Miriu project almost died. But the Man (Amolo Tinga) got another donor to inject more money on the project and Miriu came into being. Right now Raila is fighting "Fools" trying to make them see sense as to the necessity of preserving the Forest for future Generation, but all these Fools can see is Tribe. These Leaders, long ago, bought a "CHEAP LEADERSHIP TOOLBOX, full of Tools, hundreds of them. Yet each and every tool in that box, unfortunately, is a "TRIBE" tool. Whenever they retrieve one to fix a problem, it always turns out to be Tribe. For example whenever an illiterate mediocre performing person is relieved from holding an office, these Leaders will pull out the Tribe Tool;......Yeah! Our Tribe is being finished. A constitution is being made;....NO, we must think of our tribe. Improving Road Network,...........NO, NO, NO! now he is destroying our tribes people's property!!!!!!! Raila politely asks people who are destroying Forest to move out to pave way for reclaiming the Forest,........... And they go into a cacophonic frenzy. OOOh! Our people must be respected. Those who evicted out our people from Forest land are WAHUNI (Barbaric in nature), they are Tribal and dada dada daaa. For all they can see as Leaders is tribe. But tell you what, ten years down the line, they and many other people, including you Bwana Daktari, will come to a "Too late realization", that, rather than fight him they would have mobilized and joined Raila in his efforts to Conserve these Forests. Have a conservation Day. But Remember this, that the same Tinga you are barraging with arrow like words here, is truly for the Mwanainchi and Kenya, while those you give a lot of respect and credence here might turn out to be only after their stomachs and "grabbable" wealth. Raila with all his ills, is 500times more sane than the rest of them.

As many have said, "Raila is fighting back". However, the real question is, "Raila is fighting who back?". I am thrilled to answer this question. In brief, Raila is fighting himself. After working very hard to consolidate a pwerhouse in the ODM, Raila embarked on a desperate move to dismatle it. First he disolved the pentagon then declared himself the sole party leader. Things backfired and the pentagon had to be reconstituted. Notwithstanding the damage had been done. Then came the issue of youths rotting in jail after the postelection violence to which Ngilu was almost kicked out softly. Immediately after that the raging storm was still on, the hague and Ruto followed by Ruto and the maize scandal arrived. Ruto was not blind he saw his friend Raila was able to rescue him but instead Raila cut off the rope that Ruto held on to let him slip and sink into the rot which both Raila and Ruto created together. A friend in need is a friend indeed. But at the same time, the person who can bring you down faster is your friend. To Ruto, Raila proved to be a betrayer rather than a friend. Raila became a backstabber. Raila chose to reallign himself with those who fought both Ruto and Raila at the expence of those who shed their blood and lost their lives for him. In this case one cannot blame the son of Samoei for saying enough is enough when he met his tribesmen walking their donkeys toward the roadside where their half naked buttocks was being eaten by the mau cold. Just why Raila concentrated on this may only be known to himslef. "Was he fighting the right war or right enemy". In my view, these fights were completely unecessary for Raila. He should have not initiated it. He needed Ruto as much as Ruto needed him. Ruto tried to hang in there but the assault was too much. Respect was already lost and Raila was not consulting Ruto on anything including things in Ruto's Rift Valley tuff. However Raila still needed Ruto for 2012 and by Raila constantly fighting Ruto, he was simply shooting himself in the foot. The reason for this war has not been understood even by Raila closest associates. Many would prefer to keep Ruto in ODM because it makes it easy to fight the real opposition. Just why Raila did this baffles many. Was Ruto a threat to the possibility of the son of Jaramogi being chosen the ODM presidential candidate? I doubt it because in ODM Ruto is no match for Raila. Was Ruto threatening to dislodge Raila's silent dog, Musalia Mudavadi? May be. Was he afraid Ruto could testify and mention him at the hague hence Raila wanted to dissociate himself from Ruto early? Possibly. All in all my best gues is that Raila saw a threat in Ruto and chose to kick him out earlier rather than later. It suffices to say that the relationship is over. This is just a rerun between Raila and Wamalwa or Raila and Kalonzo. It is going to be impossible for Raila and Ruto to come back together or if they come together, they will still backstab each other. Like Kalonzo, Ruto is going to be the force that blocks Raila from presidency. He has some votes. People should not forget that. Now the fight began, procceded and the dust is settling a little bit. Who won and how? I still contend that Raila lost but Ruto did not gain what Raila lost. This is why. In 2012, Raila got majority of the votes from Rift Valley. Whatever Raila does and however he twists it, he will not get the same ammount of votes from this region if he does not work it with Ruto. Infact he will get less than 30% of the votes he got last time if Kosgey and Sirma stick with him. The Rift Valley was the swing vote for Raila, if he cannot bag 70% of this vote, it will become near impossible to clinch the presidency irrespective of how many people show up at Tononoka. The winning votes are not at Tononoka, it is in the Rift Valley. The coast, western and Eastern are always didivided. Raila will not be a clear winner of 2012 elections and this is what Ruto was working on after being mistreated and he has successfully done it. The only lousy thing Ruto did was to join CAMPS too fast. The Kalenjins are very weary of another Kikuyu leadership and Ruto should have known that a fight with Raila does not imply a friendship with Uhuru. The Kalenjins do not want to hear the name Kenyatta anywhere close to power hence as soon as Ruto jumped ship, his best bet was to build a new ship without Uhuru at the top. However, incase Uhuru allow Ruto to be at the top of the ticket, Raila will have a real fight in the Rift Valley, central and Eastern. For the Kenyan public these things are working in the right direction for a brand new leadership. It is time for the storm to push the takataka to the sea as Raila himself said and a complete new leader emerge. Again I say, "It is time for change" Dr. Barack Otieno Abonyo Daktari, Do you remember YK92? Do you recall what that group did to the country's economy? Do you know "jirongo" (the currency, not the man!)? Now, what you are telling is is that Kenyans are gullible enough (yes, we are, perhaps) to swallow another YK92 renamed to YK2012 hook, bait and sinker? You've done quite a good analysis there, but you missed the point. Raila is fighting not himself but for Kenyans. You've promptly forgotten that all the current flame wars (I don't want to term them political for they are not) are about the Mau and those who have vested interests in it. Please keep your eye on the ball! At the end of the day, you've ended up reading political alignements in the current squabbles. One year in politics is a very long time, and 2012 is 2 years away. Much of what you see now is gonna change shortly. Politicos are always about scheming for power. Remember also that in politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies. It's always about "me". Have you forgotten about the rotten maize? Have you forgotten about the subsidized flour that never was? The talk about the country is just the icing on the cake, which itself is quite bitter. If you asked me who I'd vote for if elections were called today, I'd say .... none, and I know that makes you happy, but that doesn't legitimize your skewed analysis. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube -- TODAY!!

KICK THE KADHIS COURT OUT OF OUR CONSTITUTION and give us a constitution that WILL GOVERN all Kenyans regardless of their religious affiliations. Religion is complicated by nature, it exists in two major forms THE PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL while it is easy to reason out and understand religion from the physical/natural side of it, we will need to be either psychics, highly spiritual or posses some form of supernatural/definitive powers to understand/discern the spiritual(HIDEN) part of any religion. Many of us don't posses those powers and that limits us to understanding anything religious hence the debate of kadhis courts and any other religious parts of the constitution. Therefore brothers and sisters LETS KICK OUT ANYTHING RELIGION FROM OUR CONSTITUTION. Kenya is one nation, one people and therefore needs one constitution equal for us all regardless. Do you think mighty nations like U.S among many didn't know what they were doing separating the state and religion? THINK AGAIN. Whatever happened before most of us were born is history and therefore behind us, we can't live in the past, we must change it if it's no longer relevant. Lets press forward and give us a new better Kenya for all of us. Frank -----Original Message----- From: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com [mailto:youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ronow Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 9:59 AM To: youngprofessionals_ke Subject: [YP_Ke] Re: FW: ISLAMIC AGENDA IN THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION. Perhaps you need to read the documents you said you wanted to read. Agreed that the constitution is for all Kenyans Muslims too are Kenyans. The Kenya legal system including the constitution is English based and the English law is bassically the Roman law amended over years to suit the society needs. It therefore follows that the Kenyan legal system is basically one faithed i.e christian. Do you consider this fair to people of other faith i.e muslims hindus etc? Muslim have agreed to submit to a christian legal system and christian courts and only asked for them to be allowed to settle only family matters as per their faith. The British allowed this during the colonial times and this was negotiated at Lancaster. This was the only reaso why the 10 mile coastal strip agreed to be part of Kenya as it was a protectorate till independence while the rest of Kenya was a colony. During the clamour for the new constitution, there is not even one comment made to the effect that we needed a new constitution due the presence of the Khadis court in the current constitution. At Bomas it was agreed that the Khadis court be entrenched in the constitution by all Delegates except 8. The theory that the khadis court can be enacted by an act of parliament is dishonest to say the least. 1) If its ok as an act of parliament why then oppose it being in the constitution?. 2) in any event the costitution only establishes it, the other details have to be taken care by an act of Parliament. Those putting forth this argument know that the Costitution the superior law to all other laws and they will be the first to rush to court to declare such an act of parliament uncostitutional. Bassically they want muslims sujected to their legal system in all spheres of life including marriage and divorce of muslims which does not in any way prejudice them And yes they say the constitution is for all kenyans- true- and we are saying there are kenyan muslims too.

Coalition government didn't just crop up from no where. It was possible majorly in part because of the contributions from unknown, unrecognized heroes like Judy. And while many have since then frizzled to their peacely daily routines, Judy's fire continues to burn for Kenyans. Thank you Judy for keeping the fire going for our country. I find it foolish to support a $900/d allowance while holding a begging bag.

But the irreconcilable fact is that Islam refutes that Jesus was crucified and died for our sins. This might seem like a minor detail but it is the very foundation of Christianity. If Jesus never died, something which He Himself says to be the very reason He came, then Christianity is a vain belief and Christians are all lost. That is the reason why amidst all the similarities this very "small" difference creates a deep difference between Islam and Christianity.

Perhaps i need to add that according to the Muslim perspective, we do believe that Jesus NEVER died. He was risen to the heavens and he wil come back during the end times. Secondly, we do believe in his miraculous birth when he was born without any male intervention something which some modern leading lights of Christianity today do not agree with. His mother Mary whom we refer to as Maryam is greatly adored by Muslims and is considered to among the leaders of paradise. One of the chapters of the Holy Qur'an is named after him. Another aspect is that we do believe in his miracles which included giving life to the dead and healing the sick. Other miracles which are not mentioned in the Bible and mentioned in the Qur'an including speaking when he was an infant and moulding clay resemblances of birds which he breathed into and gave life. Another important point is that onw of the cardinal principles which makes one a Muslims is to believe in Jesus whome we fondly refer to as Masih Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus Christ son of Mary.) Any Muslim who reject this is considered to have left the religion of Islam. Perhaps i need to inform you that i am a keen reader of the Bible. I do have several copies of different versions which i constantly go through on many occasion to acquaint myself about its teachings. While some of its teaching are contrary to the Quranic perspective, at the same time many especially those which affirm on monotheism, stories of the Prophets, divine laws are more less the same with Islam. Laws like stoning adulterers to death which are used to portray Islam negatively are even ingrained in the bible. I could also offer you a translation of the Holy Qur'an and i do encourage Christians to also take some time and read about Islam from its sources rather to get it from accounts which only aim at tarnishing it. I am based at Jamia mosque in Nairobi and would be glad to take you and any member of the forum who wishes for a guided tour of the mosque. Thanks Abu Ayman ________________________________ From: K.

He is the son of God and he will be forever..He and God the father are one and only the Holy spirit who is one and equal to the father and the son can reveal this to you. (if you say God cannot have a son then that god is limited to human perception and is not almighty) 3. He was a jew 4. He was rejected by his own-the jews 5. He first came to reveal the kingdom of Heaven to mankind-in other words God revealed HIMSELF to MAN-"it is from this fact that Christianity is not a religion per se" as in religion is mans own effort to get to God. Christianity is far from that; it is not by your own effort but by the grace of God. 6.He will come again to judge the leaving and the dead.In His second coming he will be the King of Kings; he will take the sit of Judgment and every Knee shall bow and every tongue confess...; its your choice you do it now(accept him now out of choice and have life everlasting) or then out of no choice(with probability of experiencing hell and all that happens there). Man..there is a lot more that I can write;but I pray that the Holy spirit (who is indeed God) may reveal more to you. If you have been seeking to know God; seek no more but accept HIS son and his teaching..I strongly recommend the Gospel according to John for you to read.and why John.. 1. john was a jew just like Jesus and you (Michael Wolfe) are 2. john was not just an apostle but one who was a friend to christ.He was with him till his crucifixion and death and witnessed first heard his resurrection and assending to heaven 3. Johns Gospel is the record of an eye witness-if you say..I see therfore I believe..then you've got to believe this account given by John Finally; i do not wish that you convert to Christianity but rather that you may Find God...and this is the way to God: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. " I quote from the words of Jesus christ and dare say..if Mohamed said this of himself follow him then. I am a Lay Catholic christian.You can contact me through +254721374616 --- On Thu, 12/10/09, abu Ayman wrote: >From: abu Ayman >Subject: [YP_Ke] Jesus through a Muslim Lens >To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com >Date: Thursday, December 10, 2009, 3:47 AM > > >Hi all >Perhaps this article will clear some misconception regarding the position of Jesus Christ (may peace be upon him) in Islam >Abu Ayman > > > > >Jesus >Through a Muslim Lens >Many may be >surprised to learn that Muslims believe in Jesus' miracles.

As a first step, the Centre for Media and Transitional Societies is pleased to launch a call for concept notes, in French or English, outlining proposed research examining the impact of convergence between traditional radio and new information and communications technologies (ICTs) in sub-Saharan Africa. When it comes to media in Africa, radio remains the dominant mass medium, but other information and communications technologies are growing exponentially and complementing traditional radio. The Radio, Convergence and Development in Africa program will support research on how the purposes and functions of traditional radio in Africa are influenced by new ICTs. Ultimately, the purpose of this competitive research project is both to generate important research and to support African researchers in their efforts to produce rigorous and analytical social science research findings on the ways that radio and the growth and penetration of new ICTs - such as mobile phones, the Internet and other digital technologies - have affected social, cultural, political and economic development. The Radio, Convergence and Development in Africa research agenda was shaped in large measure by a paper (Radio and Development in Africa) prepared for IDRC in 2008 by U.K.-based media consultant Dr. Mary Myers. The research agenda was further informed through a participatory roundtable process (convened in Huye, Rwanda, Sept. 10-13, 2009) involving African radio researchers and practitioners who together suggested priority to several key research themes: gender, sustainability for radio stations, the policy and regulatory environment and the importance of context (Gender as a Cross-Cutting Issue). These research themes emanated from the roundtable process as strong threads. Yet, because this is a competitive grant, ideas that fall outside this list, yet still adhere to the overall objective of this program, will be considered. The call for proposals will be run in two stages. 1. Call for concept notes (deadline: January 8, 2010): All interested applicants are required to submit a concept note outlining a synopsis of a proposed research idea. All submissions must provide the required information and follow the submission instructions published on this site. 2. Call for full proposals (deadline: March 5, 2010): Based on the assessment of the concept notes, shortlisted applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal. More details on the full proposal submission process and what follows will be made available on the FAQ page in the coming weeks. Successful applicants at the full proposal stage will benefit from a mentorship program and targeted networking and training opportunities. Ultimately, the research findings will be captured and communicated through an interactive web portal, traditional print publications and a major international conference. Please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page for more information. Funding Amounts There are three levels of targeted funding, each with different eligibility criteria: * A set of small seed grants at CAD$7,500 each will be awarded to promising graduate students, small organizations and individual researchers. * Grants of CAD$25,000 open to researchers affiliated with an established organization. * Grants of up to CAD$100,000 open only to researchers affiliated with an established organization.

LOVE IT MAN! We are finally starting to see beyond personalities my friends: Miriga is on board, Daktari Abonyo is on Board; Daktari Nyandoto is board; it is almost dawn in Kenya courtesy of we the people! Now let's pile pressure and defeat this foolish piece of literature so called "HARMONIZED DRAFT CONSTITUTION" and we can permanently put a stop to the this abuse and blatant legalized robbery by this badly constituted and inept government. They are all a bunch of touch self serving?hypocrits who cry foul of government ills and pawn the common man until they access the power and then we cease to matter; ALL OF THEM! They need to go home. --- On Fri, 12/11/09, Eric Otiende wrote: From: Eric Otiende Subject: RE: [YP_Ke] An Open Letter to PM Raila: JUDY MIRIGA IS RIGHT, $900 PER DAY IS TOO MUCH To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com, odhiambo at gmail.com Date: Friday, December 11, 2009, 4:06 PM I must say that i totally disagree with Raila on this?per diem justification. Kenya needs servant leadership and not pampered representation. $900 per day is way overboard for an economy like Kenya.??As a leader Raila should be watching the expenses of the government and trying to be fiscally responsible while providing efficient services. Raila's leadership is begining to sound more like rhetoric than action. Corruption is not only when Billions are stolen from the treasury by scams like goldenburg or Anglo Leasing but it also involves inflating expenditure on travel and per diem expenses. ? Kenya is a sovereign nation, yes! but does that mean Raila is right? When Raila was fighting for his political life against Moi, he welcomed international intervention, when the elections were stolen, he welomed international intervention, why would he reject counsel from the same claiming soverienity!!!!! ? Most recently he asked Clinton to assist fund reclaiming Mau, right.....Sorry but Raila cannot have it both ways, the days of Kenyans giving our leaders a blank check is over. Raila can play his theatrics but the ballot will soon come and the question will be, DID YOU FIND MONEY TO HELP THE POOR KENYAN OR DID YOU FATTEN THE WALLETS OF YOUR HENCHMEN???? If it is the latter then they better have enough votes put?Raila in office. Raila should understand that Kenyans support reform and not idividuals, tribes or party's. In 2002 Kenyans elected change and got Kibaki. In 2007 Kenyans decided the change from Kibaki was not what they wanted. In 2012, if Raila chooses to champion the status quo, he will be joining Kibaki and Moi but his will be due to rejection and not term limit. ? ? > Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:25:50 -0800 > From: georgeomburo at yahoo.com > Subject: Re: [YP_Ke] An Open Letter to PM Raila: JUDY MIRIGA IS RIGHT, $900 PER DAY IS TOO MUCH > To: odhiambo at gmail.com; youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com > > Dactari Abonyo; > > If you remember, I was in Kenya and when I came back Judy and others had gone to every law maker at the capital Hill and laid to them Kenya's issue.

Rail Amolo Ondinga has edged many out of the way with his strongest weapon, the tongue. I give credit to this son of Jaramogi for his charisma and daredevil attitude which has fooled most that he is a nationalist. I take issue with this veil that has transformed a villain in to a saint. Many will jump at me with daggers at the ready, but please hear me out before demonstrating ineptitude in defending the hither to perceived savior of Kenya. Kibaki has betrayed Kenyans, most of all the Gema Community.? Let no one attempt to defend Emilio unless armed with psychiatric report to justify why a president would allow such anarchy.?? A medical report will open a can of worms since he should then resign. Kenyans did not elect a joy rider; nor do we pay this fellow through the nose just to have him sleep on the job while his friends are milking the country dry, only to wake up when a call may be necessary to order Wako or Gicheru to lay off the thieves.? If am long which is possible he is still guilty of procrastination. Going back to Raila and poll Violence, asking Acampo to prosecute Police men who shot and killed those perpetrators of violence is tantamount to asking Acampo to put himself in prison. There has not been evidence that Police killed any body that was asleep in there houses or hotel rooms. All those Killed were either killing, or burning Property. Were armed, and dangerous. Police men and women are trained and hired to defend life and property, How did we expect them to control those who were paid to kill and destroy property, particularly noting that these thugs were acting with orders from senior politicians whom they trusted would defend them if arrested. And surely this is exactly what is being done; the criminals now are being treated as the victims while the police are now made the culprits. Before I advice this Saint to shut up about PEV, Allow me to ask the supervisor of Government business why we have body guards for himself and other so called prominent persons. The police man on the beat is the body guard of the common mwanchi. They protect us just as Raila is protected by his personal body guards. Why is the government silent about those police officers killed in Nyaza for purportedly going out there to represent PNU? Election was stolen.? Kibuitu said so; he should go to The Hague.? No one has ever told Kenyans How ODM in the absence of observer?s staffed boxes with votes in most stations 101% of the registered votes, So my advice to Kenyans is to wake up from this stupor and see this entire people for what they are. They do not care for Kenya but their stomachs. These tribal outfits are just to enrich the rotten lot. If you like, I challenge you to tell me of one clean man, PNU and ODM. Ruto, Henry Kosgey, Kanjwang, Raila. And others. Or Saitoti, Kirinyaga Construction OWNER: now an MP. What a joke. Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. Raila, and Emilio are cut from the same material, the difference is minimal. One can never shut up while the other does not know when to talk. My advice to Raila is shut up; we know you much too well to know you are not innocent. First the 1982 coup and now the PEV, Ruto was the commander but who ordered the war and for what. ?

Disgruntled ************************************************************ Intuit's Vibe The Cold Within By James Patrick Kinney Six humans trapped by happenstance in black and bitter cold Each possessed a stick of wood, Or so the story's told. Their dying fire in need of logs, the first woman held hers back For on the faces around the fire She noticed one was black. The next man looking 'cross the way Saw one not of his church And couldn't bring himself to give The fire his stick of birch. The third one sat in tattered clothes He gave his coat a hitch, Why should his log be put to use To warm the idle rich? The rich man just sat back and thought Of the wealth he had in store, And how to keep what he had earned From the lazy, shiftless poor. The black man's face bespoke revenge As the fire passed from his sight, For all he saw in his stick of wood Was a chance to spite the white. And the last man of this forlorn group Did naught except for gain, Giving only to those who gave Was how he played the game. The logs held tight in death's stilled hands Was proof of human sin, They didn't die from the cold without, They died from the cold within. Atlanta: New Hope or Just Another Deception By John Burl Smith Whether from down South or up North, Atlanta, Georgia holds a particular mystique for black people because of its historic role in providing leaders. The Capitol of a state that was founded as a prison colony, Atlanta's growth into the largest metropolitan area in the Southeastern United States is steeped in exploitation and racism. Its population and economic emergence resulted from the influx of slaves purchased as field hands to work the huge cotton plantations that made Georgia a political and economic power during the antebellum era. The heart of the "Old South," Georgia was the fifth state to secede from the United States and join the Confederacy. Wedded to its legacy of slavery, Georgia paid a heavy price in destruction, economic devastation and lives, rebelliously trying to hold on to a way of life built on the backs of enslaved black people. Once the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, millions of penniless former slaves joined the fight that broke the iron gripe of human bondage, but freedom would be slow in coming. Those slaves that did not join the Union Army were simply set loose to roam the countryside without any means of survival. Following the Civil War, Atlanta's phoenix-like rise from the ashes of rebellion and destruction was fueled by hard currency pumped into the devastated city by Union occupation. Without livelihoods, the search for work and food brought thousands of slaves to Atlanta, hoping to find the new freedom the future offered. Instead, carpetbaggers brought a new kind of exploitation to Atlanta, trapping former slaves between their old masters and money grubbing politicians who gained power through black votes. Abolitionists inspired by black leaders like Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, David Walker and Sojourner Truth had led the fight to end slavery. However, the Freedmen's Bureau and church groups, such as The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament founded by St. Katherine Drexler, at war's end began the formal task of preparing former slaves to move from dependency to caring for themselves in a hostile environment. Government promises of land evaporated for the vast majority of former slaves. Nevertheless, one harbinger of opportunity did emerge and Atlanta benefitted immensely as several educational institutions were established. Atlanta became an educational mecca that drew knowledge hungry black students from all over America. Atlanta became an incubator, nurturing leaders of the black community for half a century. A bedrock of knowledge and opportunity, leaders, such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Reverends Benjamin E. Mays, Martin Luther King, Sr. and Jr., along with many others matriculated at the premier black educational center in America. Atlanta's white leaders, as during slavery, were avid racists, ruthlessly supporting segregation and brutally manning the color line. While the veil of segregation and lynching hung heavily over Atlanta, a tide of radicalism surged on its college campuses in the 1950s. New young student leaders flooded the city with messages about civil rights and black power demands for freedom, justice and equality. Unable to stem the tide of civil rights and demands for black power, white leaders in Atlanta devised a scheme that allowed them to change leadership but keep the reins of power. Managing this transition, whites gave up administrative control but held onto Atlanta's purse strings. Whites kept control of the job market and used city jobs -- City Hall, School Board, Grady Hospital, police and fire ? to reflect a pseudo-prosperity. Maynard Jackson was selected as the first black mayor (1974). He was followed by Rev. Andrew Young in a kind of musical chairs until 2002. The novelty generated real pride among most black Atlantans, but whites fled the city for the suburbs, like rats leaving the Titanic. Obviously today, it is clear the black community was deceived into believing it had gained real power though the switcheroo with Maynard Jackson. This game prevented the black community from developing its own leaders based on service and community ties. Instead, Atlanta's white leaders ? namely the Chamber of Commerce and the Commerce Club ? used Jackson's power base as the conduit to power for blacks. All other groups and personalities were shut out. Thus, the city of Atlanta got Bill Campbell and Shirley Franklin. For nearly forty years Atlanta's Mayors have been picked from the Jackson elite. The lack of progress over that period is astonishingly clear, because very little has changed for the black community which supported Atlanta during and after white flight. Economically, whites still dominate the city, holding and controlling the higher paying jobs in the private sector. Moreover, the hope of desegregation has turned into re-segregation and black students are under siege from the "no tolerance school to prison pipeline." Under the last two administrations, bringing back whites from the suburbs into midtown neighborhoods, while removing black residents, has been a top priority. Destroying public housing to clear the way for gentrification -- building condos and multi-use apartment complexes -- is a backdoor strategy white leaders hoped would enable them to take back the mayor's office. Relying on blacks' frustration over the lack of change and progress in reducing poverty, they hoped a liberal white woman could get black votes or reduce voter turnout. Conversely, black voters remained committed to the hope that a true black leader will emerge who will keep his promises and work to create a better future. Consequently, last week (12-1-09) blacks rallied behind a young black man, Kasim Reed, in the mayoral runoff. His election more so than any since Maynard Jackson can be the change long-suffering blacks in Atlanta have hoped for. Although Reed received overwhelming support from blacks, he does not have to be a savior, just not disappoint by tailoring his administration to serve whites as Barack Obama, who has completely dismissed the needs of blacks. At this crucial juncture, if black leaders continue to make promises to get elected but serve the interest of whites once in office, black people will lose confidence in the only power they have left - the vote. Atlanta has been an enigma -- possessing such potential but delivering such meager results -- yet the future does offer real promise. Slave descendants have witnessed whites turn back the clock on every gain blacks have made since emancipation. Whites have not been able to take away the vote, but they are working to make it irrelevant as a means of change for blacks. This would reduce blacks to their former status at the end of Reconstruction (1875). Then, black politicians did nothing to help poor and needy former slaves; they thought they were safe. News You Use Jobless Insurance Must Be Renewed By James Parks With 26 million people either unemployed or without full-time work, labor commissioners and officials from eight states joined with workers and union and civil rights leaders in calling for Congress to extend unemployment insurance and health care assistance for jobless workers, benefits that will expire for many in a few weeks. A new study, "Keeping a First Line of Defense for the Jobless," predicts that 1 million workers will become ineligible for unemployment benefits in January 2010 unless Congress re-authorizes key provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The report also shows that by March that number will swell to more than 3.2 million workers. Speaking at a press conference, AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker pointed out that jobless workers very quickly spend their benefits and the money quickly flows into and boosts the domestic economy. Every dollar the government provides for unemployment benefits is estimated to increase economic output by $1.63 to $2.15. Many economists agree, she said, that unemployment benefits provide one of the biggest "bangs for the buck" in terms of recovery spending. Unemployment insurance is "the key safety net to help workers who have lost jobs through no fault of their own," Holt Baker said, adding: If Congress fails to re-authorize jobless benefits through 2010, foreclosures will happen at an accelerated pace, more families will fall off the financial cliff and more local businesses will lose revenues, leading to more job loss. Workers of color are being pummeled by the recession. Unemployment for African Americans is now 15.6 percent and 12.7 percent among Latinos. Some 40 percent of African American and Latino workers will be unemployed or underemployed at some point in 2010. Holt Baker pointed out that extending the lifeline for families hard hit by the recession is the first point of the AFL-CIO's five-part plan for immediate job creation. The other four points are: (1) Investing now to rebuild America's schools, roads, sewers, parks and energy infrastructure, accelerating the shift to clean renewable energy; (2) Increasing aid to state and local governments to maintain vital services and avoid unnecessary layoffs and tax increases; (3) Putting people back to work in good jobs with good labor protections doing work that needs to be done, while making sure not to replace existing jobs; and (3) Easing the credit crunch by using TARP funds to lend directly to small and medium-size businesses on Main Street. The study was released by the National Employment Law Project (NELP), the Center for American Progress Action Fund and The Half in Ten Campaign. The benefits provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act include up to 73 weeks of federal unemployment benefit extensions and a subsidy covering 65 percent of the cost of COBRA premiums for unemployed workers. Holt Baker sums it up this way: The consequences of not acting are unthinkable. We would see more lives put on hold, more homes lost and more communities threatened. The cost of not doing anything is far greater than the cost of continuing these essential benefits through the end of 2010. Extending unemployment benefits and COBRA coverage is the right thing to do - for the unemployed and for all of us. To read the report, click on http://nelp.3cdn.net/83db1e0ad0574237c7_dzm6i6dl0.pdf. Venue for an Artist Poor Thinking at the Top By Dean Baker The United States has more than 15 million people unemployed. This is not their fault. It is the fault of really bad policy decisions by people who get paid more than almost all of the unemployed ever did or ever will. The failure of economic policymakers to recognize and attack an $8 trillion housing bubble led to the downturn. The continuing failure of economic policymakers to think creatively is why 15 million people remain unemployed. The basic problem of unemployment is in fact a very simple one; we don't have enough demand in the economy. The collapse of bubbles in both residential and nonresidential construction led to a falloff in annual construction of close to $700 billion. The disappearance of more than $6 trillion in housing bubble wealth has forced consumers to pare consumption by approximately $500 billion a year. This creates a total shortfall in annual demand of $1.2 trillion. In the face of inadequate demand, people lose their jobs. There is not enough demand for houses, cars, restaurant meals and thousands of other goods and services to keep everyone employed. One way to fix the problem is to create more demand. That was the point of the stimulus package passed last February. This helped, but it was nowhere near big enough. Subtracting out tax accounting measures (the alternative minimum tax fix) and spending to come in 2011 and later, the stimulus was about $300 billion for both 2009 and 2010. The federal stimulus is also being offset by approximately $150 billion in annual budget cuts at the state and local level. This leaves a net stimulus from the government sector of around $150 billion a year. This will not offset a loss in annual demand of $1.2 trillion; it's like trying to fill a swimming pool with five buckets of water. In principle, the federal government could spend much money on stimulus until it has generated enough demand to get the unemployed back to work. For political reasons, this doesn't seem possible. The deficit fixation in Washington is preventing effective action, just as a balanced budget craze in the '30s forced Roosevelt to cutback the deficit in 1937, throwing the economy into another recession. If politics makes it impossible to increase the demand for labor, an alternative way to create jobs is through decreasing the supply of labor. Specifically, employers can be given an incentive to cut the hours of their current workforce, while keeping their pay constant. This should then cause them to hire more workers. This is not an untested idea. Germany has used work sharing tax credits to keep its unemployment rate from rising in this downturn, even though its recession has been more severe than ours. There are proposals for using this sort of work sharing being considered in both houses of Congress at the moment. Sen. Jack Reed (D-Rhode Island) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro have both introduced bills that would build upon work-share programs that already exist in 17 states. These programs allow employers to use unemployment insurance funds to keep workers employed at shorter hours, rather than laying them off and collecting unemployment benefits. These bills would provide additional funding to the existing programs so that they would be more widely used and help the other states establish work-share programs. Rep. John Conyers has proposed a tax credit that would allow employers to reduce work time, while still maintaining their pay, and thereby creating the demand for more workers. This route has the benefit of allowing employers to try to innovate at their workplace, even if they are not currently planning layoffs, so it could have a much broader impact. However, it is important to remember that nearly two million workers are still losing their job each month. The jobs' figure that is reported each month is a net figure. It shows how many jobs the economy has gained or loss after adding up all the workers hired or fired. If we reduce the gross monthly job loss figure by 10 percent, or 200,000 workers, it has the same impact on employment as adding 2.4 million jobs. This means that even though the Conyers bill would have a broader impact, even the Reed-DeLauro bills could lead to many more jobs being created. It is important to realize that work sharing can also have a lasting impact on the structure of work. There have been major efforts by labor unions and women's organizations to make the workplace more family friendly through paid family leave, paid sick days and paid vacation. These work-share programs offer an opportunity to both quickly reduce unemployment and lay a basis for lasting change in this area. Companies can take advantage of these programs to experiment with paid sick days or family leave. If they work, they are likely to leave these policies in place even after the public funding is no longer there. It is absolutely unacceptable to have 15 million people unemployed just because the people who call the shots are too dumb to figure out how to get them back to work. We got into this mess because the people on top didn't know what they were doing. We shouldn't have to stay here because they still can't figure things out. In Germany, they are experiencing the recession through short workweeks and longer vacations, rather than mass unemployment. We should be doing the same here.

With the inauguration of a new administration, there was hope for better days ahead, especially among black Americans, who were "sick and tired" of Reagan-Bush "trickle down" economic policies. Indeed, there was a sense that Bill Clinton was the "first black" president. Former President Clinton openly spoke about conditions in the black community, even recalling for public consumption his experiences with racism while growing up in Arkansas. Clinton's racial rhetoric led many to believe he intended to work for change in this arena. And, indeed he did. Under Clinton's leadership, a rising economic tide lifted all boats. Like whites, the black American median family income rose. Clinton employed black Americans in his administration and opened a dialogue on race. Unfortunately, the dialogue went nowhere and the economic bubble that lifted all boats burst, leaving black Americans worse off than before Clinton took the reins of leadership. Indeed, rather than providing the change we desperately needed, Clinton moved to the right of center following the 1996 national elections and embraced the Republicans' "Contract with America," which changed, among other things, "welfare" as we knew it. That change has proven to be an unmitigated disaster, according to a new study, "Battered by the Storm," to be released on Monday by the Institute of Policy Studies. Co-authored by Georgetown Law Center Professor Peter Edelman and Barbara Ehrenreich, the study shows that welfare reform has left the US with a tattered safety net in the midst of the worst economic decline since the Great Depression. In fact, "America's 1996 experiment with welfare reform was based on reckless assumptions about the economy, as well as a callous disregard for the realities of sustaining a family. We need a massive emergency relief package not only to fund new jobs but to repair the grievous holes in our national safety net. Fifty million people need help now ? not in three months or six months, but today." (Source: Why Welfare Reform Fails Its Recession Test, Washington Post, 12/6/09) To pursue the policy suggestions contained in "Battered by the Storm" will require leadership that is not forthcoming from either the White House or Congress. Both executive and legislative branches of government seem more committed to warfare and the welfare of the financial sector than ensuring average Americans are fed, clothed and sheltered from the ravages of the current economic storm. Hence, there is rising disappointment with our current Democratic leadership. Granted, none expected change to occur in an instant, following the swearing-in ceremony or even after a year or two in office. Yet, to keep hope alive, the leader must speak of change; jawboning is a very important tool that can lead to concrete changes. No group of Americans is more supportive of President Barack Obama than the black community, which has been severely battered by this recession. The official black unemployment rate for November stood at 15.6%, down marginally .1% from October. The white unemployment rate was 9.3% down .2% from the previous month's 9.5%. We know the official unemployment rate bears little resemblance to reality. In some urban areas, the black unemployment rate exceeds twenty percent. The black community is in the throes of a "Great Depression." In response to these difficult economic times, President Obama recently said, "The most important thing I can do for the African-American community is the same thing I can do for the American community, period, and that is get the economy going again and get people hiring again." (Source: President Obama says he won't put focus on "Blacks Troubles, USA Today, 12/3/09) Evidently, like Clinton, who seemed to genuinely want to help black Americans, Obama, who seems to only want black votes, has bought into the flawed notion of a rising tide. The flaw is the assumption that all are able to take advantage of a rising tide. That is, everyone has a boat with oars and strong arms with which to row. Furthermore, no one's boat sits in an area where water no longer flows because of a manmade dam, also known as institutionalized racism. We know from historic economic data that no such level economic playing field exists in America. Whether the economic tide is rising or falling, black Americans are experiencing conditions dictated by the pattern of employment, such that at any given time, blacks are twice as likely as their white counterparts to be unemployed. The resulting median black family income is roughly three-fifths that of whites, mimicking the 3/5 Compromise found in Article 1 Section 2 of the US Constitution. The black-white median family income gap closed slightly during the Clinton administration; it has since widened after eight years of Bush efforts to dismantle those socioeconomic gains. If our current president does not understand black history and lead the way to dismantling the manmade dam of institutionalized racism that prevents water from flowing into black communities, the rising tide that lifts all boats will leave in its wake blacks mired in the economically disadvantaged state, relative to whites, in which they have existed since the founding fathers codified slavery. That is not the kind of change blacks who braved freezing temperatures to witness the inauguration of Barack Obama expected. Disgruntled feels: Failure! A November 26, 2009 posting on AlterNet.com entitled "Bailed-Out AIG Forcing Poor to Choose Between Running Water and Food" by Yasha Levine chronicles the saga of poor folks in two impoverished southern Kentucky towns, where the unemployment rate is close to 30%. Because the state is so poor, half of those eligible to receive unemployment benefits in the towns of Middlesboro and Clinton do not receive them. These Kentucky towns have a per capita income that is little more than what workers earn in third-world Mexico. To add insult to injury, their residents are being fleeced into deeper poverty by the insurance giant, which controls water utilities across seventeen (17) states. According to Levine, "Bailed-out insurance villain AIG took over their water utility and instantly raised rates to squeeze an extra $1 million in profits out of its new customers, forcing some to consider choosing between running water and food." In addition to raising water rates, the residents of these towns are experiencing the same kind of late fee trickery endured by bailed-out banks' customers. According to Levine, the experience of these towns with privatized infrastructure provides a glimpse of post-privatized America. It is not a pretty picture. To allow large swaths of the nation's infrastructure to be controlled by for-profit private enterprises is tantamount to a failure of foresight and recipe for disaster. Disgruntled says: On Wednesday, a group of Democrats with close ties to Wall Street forced a delay in consideration of the financial regulatory reform. Apparently, Wall Street's big banks do not like the idea of the Consumer Financial Protection Agency and want the provision removed from the regulatory reform measure. Naturally, Wall Street does not want a watchdog guarding the interests of American consumers; it just might prevent the wholesale fleecing that has gone on heretofore. Since Republicans are unlikely to vote for any banking reform legislation, without the full support of a significant majority of Democrats, financial regulatory reform is a non-starter. The financial sector, which has poured millions into Democratic and Republican campaign coffers, knows it can pull enough strings to shape any legislation that comes to the floor for a vote. When Congress fails to produce a Consumer Financial Protection Agency, if any financial regulatory measure comes up for a vote and/or passes, we will witness leadership for the banking and financial services industry in action. It is the kind of leadership one should expect from the best Congress money can buy. Disgruntled wants to know: There is plenty of talk about an improving US economy. The unemployment rate fell in November, stocks are up and the holiday shopping numbers look good. It is a feel-good moment! However, not everyone is convinced the worst of the recession is behind us. Some economists tell a cautionary tale about the Great Depression, reminding us that a double dip is possible, nay likely, with employment slow to recover. But, this is the season of Jolly Old St. Nick and no one wants to consider the prospect of things getting worse in the New Year. Unfortunately, there are some signs that scream for attention, even as we celebrate this season. For instance, McDonald's, the fast food restaurant that benefitted greatly at the beginning of the economic downturn because many of the people who eat out ditched pricier diners for McDonald's dollar menu fare, announced it suffered its second consecutive monthly decline in US sales in November. If one considers McDonald's an economic barometer, could its decline in fast food sales a harbinger of things to come? **************************************************** For comments, questions or to unsubscribe, email thedish at ga.net. ***************************************************** From invitations at themetribe.ning.com Sun Dec 13 19:51:52 2009 From: invitations at themetribe.ning.com (Flavian Moki) Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:51:52 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Jambo] Come join me on MOTIVATED ENTREPRENEURS TRIBE Message-ID: <26477625.26478121260751912427.JavaMail.xncore@z1003ef.ningops.com> MOTIVATED ENTREPRENEURS TRIBE: MOTIVATED ENTREPRENEURS TRIBE -------------------- Come join me on MOTIVATED ENTREPRENEURS TRIBE!

Good example of how we are unable to solve even the simplest of our problems is Mau. An "intelligent" Prime minister orders people out of the forest without an audit of who they are, how many they are, where they came from by verification at the Lands office of who has or does not have land. thye just rushed to evict them out of their homes during heavy rains and national school final exams.? did it have to happen only at this very time during exams? during rain? when crops are maturing for harvest?? could it have waited for just two or three monts for crops to be harvested, exams completed, and rains to stop? Now they are complaining of the camps having been infiltrated by impositers? Did they try to, first, know who is coming out of the forest?? Even a mentally retarded persons here in America would have done much better calculation of this situation than so called "presidents and prime ministers of Africa" Did I hear it was done in the name of government decision? "parliament" (210 leaders).? Even if they were bypassed, how could they allow this stupidity to happen in the name of the '"governemnt decision"? How we handle the simplest of our problems tells how high we can rise.? Is it a suprise we will only bless this world with poverty, diseases, civil wars and naked hungry children in the slums?? We could not even plan our settlements for organized better living. Only chaos from city to mashambani. Even land that gives us food, we are unable to manage for maximum and miningful cultivation.? At independence, the only intelligent thing we could accomplish was for the "president's" tribe to acquire land from other tribes as much and fast as possible. What really is our problem? ?

By?JOY WANJA and GEORGE SAYAGIEPosted?Sunday, December 13?2009?at?21:11 Tricksters have infiltrated camps for people evicted from Mau Forest putting into jeopardy the government?s compensation plan. Related Stories For the genuinely evicted, it's a miserable lifeFormer squatter, 72, dies from cold Mau children get a first sight of mzungu The taxpayer now stands to lose millions of shillings if the imposters are not identified and kicked out, the Nation has learnt. Scores of residents of the reserve areas near the camps have assumed the status of refugees by day and home owners at night, in a ploy to benefit from a resettlement package that may be given to the displaced persons. The government?s own audit has confirmed that nearly 3,000 homesteads in the camps are those of imposters. Mau is Kenya?s largest indigenous forest and the biggest water tower with at least 12 rivers originating from it. They include Ewaso Ng?iro, Sondu, Mara and Njoro and encroachment on it has led to the drying up of several lakes in the Rift Valley, which solely feed off its waters. Mau?s strategic importance lies in the ecosystem services it provides to Kenya and beyond, including the regulation of river flow, flood mitigation, water storage, reduced soil erosion and biodiversity. Its continued destruction, therefore, threatens to cause a water crisis of national and regional proportions that could extend far beyond the borders of Kenya. Daily Nation journalists visited camps at Kipkongor and Kurbanyat where more than 1,000 families ordered out of the forest in the first phase of evictions are staying. The visit established that while the tents are fully occupied with men, women and children during the day, many of them were vacant at night. Transition camps Mr Ezekiel Kirui, the vice-chair of the camp, confirmed that many people from the nearby Kapkembu settlement scheme were masquerading as having been evicted and have been trickling to the transitional camps during the day. At night their tents are deserted. Mr Kirui who moved out of Tilolwet Village in the forest, said: ?Some of us in these camps are land speculators and are here expecting to hijack the opportunity and get compensation.? He said the number of those evicted in a camp called Tarta had shot up since the government announced a Sh35,000 compensation for the victims. The cheats are also benefiting from humanitarian aid of food, blankets and medicine provided by charitable organisations and the government. This had drastically reduced the rations for genuine victims of eviction, Mr Kirui said. ?The first registration conducted indicated that we are around 684 families, but the number has since risen to more than 2,000 families with many still streaming in,? he said. -- 7 DAYS TO GO!

Most of Kenyans living abroad are directly connected with Kenya and there is noway you can seperate them with their homeland. A lot of us have invested in that country even more than some of the so called those who live in it permanetely. A kenyan has all the rights to free speeches and can write his mind about what is affecting Kenya today. We did contribute alot to the prime minister during his presidential candidate. Do you even know that even people like prof Ghai the main achitecture of Bomas draft lives outside Kenya but that does not make him a lesser Kenyan than you with your nairobi address. I personaly support Judy for her courage and if kenya had more Judy type of individuals may be kenyans would not be suffering as they do today. So give Judy all the support you have. You as a person why don" t you give a solution. Why only criticising things?. You should try in your life to be a part of a solution not another problem in Kenya. Remember the wise man"s say that the: FREEDOM OF A COUNTRY IS HIS PEOPLE. If the society is not free to have food, jobs, health services, pure water etc. then there is no freedom no matter what you hear or write on papers about democracy or freedom. The letter Judy wrote to Raila is correct, good and you can only say the opposite if you did not read it or may be did not understood it. Thanks. Paul Nyandoto >>> barack abonyo 12/10/09 1:53 AM >>> Ladies and Gentlemen Let me tell you guys something about lady Judy because I have met her in person during a politically charged atmosphere. I cannot forget that day. It was very cold in Washington DC. I had driven all the way from Florida to protest 2007 stolen election at the Kenyan Embassy and United States State Department. There were many people. Some I knew some I did not. Me and my Associates were not aware that there were other organizers but as you know word travels through the internet. Well we were disorganized and organized because one group did not know the other group. Judy belonged to one group and I belonged to the other. My group chose Alphonse Omondi of Philadelphia to be incharge the other group chose Judy. Judy is almost the age of my mother but in her I saw a heart of a young warrior. She and Omondi were our incharges. Judy pushed the embassy door like a young lady but Ogego refused to talk to us although later on me and Omondi sneaked in only to be ejected by the security. Later that day with Judy and Omondi as our incharge we went to the State department and had an audience with the state reperesentative. We had along chain of demonstrators. Okoa spoke on our behalf. Through Judy and Omondi we handed over our two written petitions. Our issue was that Kibaki stole the election and the United States should not recognize him as president. Secondly we took issue with why the United States had already endorsed Kibaki as president and lastly we requested United States to be involved in solving the Kenyan problem. The next day Jandaya Frazer was dispatched to Kenya. As you can see, Judy faught for the rights of Kenya and she achieved something. Fairness. He fought for Raila to be who he is now. Without United States, Raila could be rotting in jail somewhere opr in exile. Judy therefore has every right to tell Raila that he is wrong when he is. Indeed Raila was wrong in this case. Where on earth do you go to beg for money so that you can throw it to the sea and still claim sovereignity. If you want to claim to be sovereign then dont go begging. Besides, $900 allowance per day, where on earth do people get that except in Kenya. Kenyans should be outraged instead of looking at the type of english Judy wrote. Why are Kenyans so much dissolutioned. $900 per day for 10 days for 60 people who in my view are going just to visit Germany. If you look closely you may find out many of them are relatives of the people in the government. How is this diffrerent form Moi's Government when Nyiva Mwendwa went with her hair dresser for an overseas trip. This is unjustifiable, travesity, impunity and at worse insulting the people of Kenya intelligence. This should be one very good reason why Kenyans should take to the streets. How come you cannot settle 2000 poor people but you can give an rich individual over $900 per day with hotel expences paid for 10 days. I have travelled enough to know that a Kenyan cannot dare pay $300 for breakfast, $300 lunch and $300 for dinner unless it is a life and death situtaion, even $50 per meal for a Kenyan is too much. Even US senators the richest country in the world do not get that. It is amazing Raila was supporting this and when Judy who worked very hard for Raila questioned this, some headless chickens following their stomach pounced on her because she wrote poor english. Sirs, correct the english but also dare tell your king that he is naked. That is what Judy did. Judy has worked so hard for this course. She has every right to straighten it.

Expression: The root of suffering is attachment, because attachment makes one bound. To be truly free means to learn to love and appreciate while remaining independent. Others' state of mind or task does not negatively influence one's own responses to the outside environment. There is the ability to be free and express one's own specialities without being coloured. Experience: If I cannot keep myself free from attachment I am constantly experiencing suffering. Because I am attached, I am dependent on someone or something I have created a space for in my mind. When that person or object is criticized, neglected or not with me, I feel pain in my mind and I experience a sense of loss. Then I am not able to be loving.

Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of paper. Won Park is the master of Origami. He is also called the "money folder", a practitioner of origami whose canvas is the United States One Dollar Bill. Bending, twisting, and folding, he creates life-like shapes in stunning detail.

Be reminded that eggs mixes with water and becomes milky which may block your vision up to 95% and you will forced to stop on the road side allowing the robbers an opportunity to rob you. God forbid!! No matter what you do, DONT STOP!!! Try to see through the side window of the car and drive on to a safe distance before pulling off the road to wash the windshield.

A touch of white here, a rosy tinge there, or some rippling or bumps may be a sign of disease in the body. Problems in the liver, lungs, and heart can show up in your nails. Keep reading to learn what secrets your nails might reveal. Pale Nails http://www..webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-n ails-say-about-your-health Very pale nails are sometimes linked to aging. But they can also be a sign of serious illness, such as: * Anemia * Congestive heart failure * Diabetes * Liver disease * Malnutrition White Nails http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-na ils-say-about-your-health If the nails are mostly white with darker rims, this can indicate liver problems, such as hepatitis. In this image, you can see the fingers are also jaundiced, another sign of liver trouble. Yellow Nails http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-na ils-say-about-your-health One of the most common causes of yellow nails is a fungal infection. As the infection worsens, the nail bed may retract, and nails may thicken and crumble. In rare cases, yellow nails can indicate a more serious condition such as severe thyroid disease or psoriasis Bluish Nails http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-na ils-say-about-your-health Nails with a bluish tint can mean the body isn't getting enough oxygen. This could indicate an infection in the lungs, such as pneumonia. Rippled Nails http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-na ils-say-about-your-health If the nail surface is rippled or pitted, this may be an early sign of psoriasis or inflammatory arthritis. Psoriasis is a skin condition that starts in the nails 10% of the time. Cracked or Split Nails http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-na ils-say-about-your-health Dry, brittle nails that frequently crack or split have been linked to thyroid disease. Cracking or splitting combined with a yellowish hue is more likely due to a fungal infection Puffy Nail Fold http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-na ils-say-about-your-health If the skin around the nail appears red and puffy, this is known as inflammation of the nail fold. It may be the result of lupus or another connective tissue disorder. Dark Lines Beneath the Nail http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-na ils-say-about-your-health Dark lines beneath the nail should be investigated as soon as possible. They are sometimes caused by melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Gnawed Nails http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-na ils-say-about-your-health Biting your nails may be nothing more than an old habit, but in some cases it's a sign of persistent anxiety that could benefit from treatment. Nail biting or picking has also been linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder. If you can't stop, it's worth discussing with your doctor. Nails Are Only Part of the Puzzle http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-what-your-na ils-say-about-your-health Though nail changes accompany many conditions, these changes are rarely the first sign. And many nail abnormalities are harmless -- not everyone with white nails has hepatitis.

She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adored him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best. She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another. She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times. The girl?s 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him! One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone." Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, "I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!", replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word. His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart. The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, "I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!", replied the 3rd boyfriend. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to marry someone else!" Her heart sank and turned cold. She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied the 2nd boyfriend. "At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave." His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated. Then a voice called out: "I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The girl looked up, and there was his first boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the girl said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!" In truth, you have 4 boyfriends in your lives: Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die. Your 3rd boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth.When you die, it will all go to others. Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave. And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world. However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you where ever you go.Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you to the throne of God and continue with you throughout Eternity. Thought for the day:Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray. NB! Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

Are you already seeing?sense into what I was saying? No sooner?had I presented my views here in the forum, than, the "Hecklers" are already rearing for "Battle". Now these Hecklers if given a chance will end up wreaking havoc on that draft, even before?it reaches a discussion stage. ? To avoid this we must let the Constitution to only?address the Individual Right of the Citizen. But once you allow "Groups," Organizations," "Communities" etc, or any other entities that answer in the form of "Blocks", then you lay yourself vulnerable. It will be like opening a can of worms that you can not close back. ? Abu, by insisting that Kadhi Courts?be entrenched in the Constitution, inadvertently open up the field for adherents of unlawful religious sects like Mungiki, to start demanding that? their courts also be included in the Constitution. Now THAT IS THE TIME YOU WILL HAVE INVITED TROUBLE IN QUADRUPLE. ? The solution therefore, is to eliminate all these groupings; be they religious or just communities. The Constitution, therefore, must be focused to address?the protection of "Rights and Freedom" of an Individual Citizen. It is this way that every Kenyan shall be deemed EQUAL in front of the Law. Weather they be Poor or?Tycoon, Disabled or Overabled, Female or Male, Child or Mzee,?Black, Orange, Blue, Albino or without Skin Pigment(White). Living in Kwa Njenga or in KILE, Nyali or Wayani, A Villager or Born Town, will not matter as long as they will be Kenyan Citizens. Be it that they are by birth or Naturalization, they will be deemed to be equal in front of the Law. ? Abu if you are a Lawyer, take this suggestion to the Fronters of Kadhi Courts and tell them that it is one Idea and Solution you can take to the BANK, for future peace in that Nation. Anything short of the Protection of Individual Citizen's? Rights and Freedom, will only be a recipe?for future Chaos. ? Have a thoughtful day ?

The comments being made by the Chucrh leaders are aimed at as you said setting the stage for inter religious animosity. Kadhis courts have been in existence for even before independence and at no time did they elicit the negative reactions which are being parroted by some of the church leaders. For yr information, during the 2005 referendum leaflets were being circulated by some of the church leaders which indicated that religious conflicts will erupt if the Kadhis courts are entrenched. This is the same message which some of the church leaders are unfortunately peddling around. Gado's cartoon rightly depicted the mood by the church leaders.

Thank God that your eyes caught my two cents contribution. The actions of many Politicians in Kenya, Baffles and at times one can be blinded by fury, asking ones self why they keep doing these bad crazy self centered maneuvers, yet you will never find the answer. Their desperation to gain popularity or a sink their hands in taxpayers kitty?just baffles, to say the least? ? Anyways,lets go?back to the now popular "pass-time political event" called Preservation of Mau and the Evacuees. When I look deeply into the mess, and misery that has been visited on the small Mwanainchi, from Mau forest,?I am convinced that?there could have been a better way to do it. Now,?suppose just for for a moment that, these Leaders sat down and spent hours in discussions?to get solutions, do you think they could have failed? Instead what did they do? WRANGLE! WRANGLE and WRANGLE even up to today. What I am smelling is an IDP situation which will be addressed with empty Political rhetoric come 2012. At that time there will be "Scores" and "Mis-scores. Anyway,Lets wait and see.if it does not turn out to this." ? Raila after touring the affected area and after realizing that the forest encroachment was causing a lot of environmental damage, he resolved that those people in the Forest must get out. This was a noble Idea. All that was needed was to have a serious discussion amongst the Leaders concerned. There is no way serious sensible minds can engage in such a situation and fail to come up with a solution. ? The above is what wanainchi would expect from their Leaders, and?for some of us Kenyans who have witnessed some of these Forest Destruction, in?various parts of the Republic, we expected nothing short of that . But behold, what followed when Raila made this Statement suggesting that the People move out of the Forest, is what turned this whole issue to be catastrophic. All I heard from some leaders was that OUR PEOPLE WILL NOT MOVE. YOU CAN NOT MOVE THEM WITHOUT TALKING TO US, And so on. ? >From then, the whole issue was turned Political. Even the MPS whose Constituencies are hundreds of miles from MAU Forest, found it fit to claim Mau. I was surprised that an MP for Kamukunji in Nairobi also became an activist against Raila's Proposal. This MP was also claiming a stake in Mau. I can only term this as "Wonderful" ? While this Heckling by many of these MPS was going on, none of them was finding it fit to look into the future and see the sense in preserving the Forest, as well as finding an alternative land where possibly, the evacuees would move to. All they saw was to gain some Political mileage by barraging the name of the Prime Minister. To say the list they had taken a non approachable stand that even the prime Minister may have found it hard to dialog with them. When this matter was tabled in Parliament one?Honorable Isaac Ruto went on a heckling mission making the PM, look like some novice who did not know what he was doing. It forced the prime Minister to request the chair to ask Ruto to be positive on this, and not to incite people. All along none of that group that opposed Raila on Mau evacuation, were willing to come down to a round table discussion. One week, two weeks, three weeks, a Month, two months and finally three months went by. None of them was willing to commit to finding a solution or an alternative place?to resettle?the Evacuees.?They made sure that they heckled?so loud and gained huge ?Political Mailage?by pointing?all fingers?to how bad Raila was. Raila was supposed to compensate these evacuees, even before they moved out, After which, he was to?find them alternative Land........interesting! ? We may wonna ask this "since when did Raila or anybody from his family Grabb Tracks of Land that was meant to be returned to Wanainchi from the Colonials?" The families who did this, know themselves. For this, it would have been important for these Anti Raila MPS to bring such issues to the House so that a solution is found as to where to move those people. There are thousands of Tracks of Land that?Mbeberu sat on originally, but after?he was kicked out Kenyans, these parcels were grabbed by some families, in such places like Molo, Rongai,?Elburgon, Lumbwa (Kipkelion), Kalimoni, Lukenya etc. ? These are issues that needs to be made open ( the Never Discussed Land issues in Kenya). But Making two wrongs by grabbing more forest land, then burning it and turning the place barren, as has been done in Mau can only lead to Disaster in Kenya. Honestly and truly if those anti Raila MPs are concerned with the welfare of those?Evacuees from Mau?then they could have been having None stop meetings, to find a solution and an alternative place for them.? On the contrary what I see, are people whose vision is "Clouded" by gaining Political Mileage, that they would rather create this catastrophe then, later pretend that they are siding with the people. Since?many of the uneducated Villages have little knowledge to analyze the situation, they will support that person who says I am with you. They forget that "I am?with you, never looks for permanent solutions" They tent to capitalize on the hapless people's predicaments. ? These kind of Tactics were "expertized"?by Moi during his rule. It looks like Moi had very good Students when he formed YK 92 . And it looks like they learned well from him, for they are now putting what they learned into practice. Daktari, do not be hoodwinked. Okot P Bitek said "Birds of the Same "FATHER" flock to Gather." Can you see them Gathering? The good news is that out of these birds, one seems to have different feathers. All you need to do is to find the one with the different "Manyoya", the Kenyan Manyoya, and not the Father's Manyoya. ? As for the PM being extravagant, authorizing "Thrift Spending", I think we can come out to write some Civilized letters to him to stop or to rethink what he is doing. For when he does this, then he is telling us that he is giving in to the Corruption that he has time and again said he will fight. He is giving authority to such "Shady deals" like the Volkswagen, Grand Regency, Typing or is it Computer Error, Fictitious Losses at KQ, where there is supposed to be no Loss at all. ? So in a Civilized manner we can send the PM letters, which, will remind him of what his obligations are and what he promised Kenyans, versus?what he is doing in the Contrary to those promises. He must uphold the law never to use his Authority to rob the Nation out of the Taxpayers money. We expect him to maintain that kind of Sanity, till he leaves office. But on the same token I do not agree that we should loose our heads, and call him all manners of names, for when we do that, then we are loosing respect?to the Nation, as he represents the Nation. ?

I see one Dr. Abonyo has presented? a great "Mis- Analysis" of Raila and who Raila needs to be with to win the Presidency. Well this is great. For a moment I thought Raila only needs to gain the confidence of the Kenyan Voter to be able to win a Presidential contest.According to Daktari, all Raila needs to? do is is to have Ruto, in his Bandwagon to win?the Presidency. But one problem is suppose the Citizens reject both Raila and Ruto, then what happens? Secondly he, Dr. Abonyo is?not consulting with Raila to know where Raila Stands. I mean suppose Raila decided that there is too much circus with Kenyan Politicians, and chooses not to run. What happens after that???? ? Despite that I would strongly?suggest to Daktari, he may wonna read the analysis from "Breigner" in this forum, before?he decided to deride Raila, goring him to death. After that we might wonna ask you to analyze for us what happened that led to Raila and many others pulling out of KANU and?forming LDP. Ask Ruto what he did with the resolutions that were reached at the KANU meeting on election rules. ? Did he Ruto lock himself in a Room,?to cook the resolutions and change the regulations? Did he insubordinate his Party's secretary by making that announcement which locked out the Likes of Saitoti, Kalonzo Musyoka, Ntimama, Nyaga, and a number of other Kanu members from?applying to contest the seats? Why did many of those Party Members run to Raila, seeking him to clear the air, only to find out that Raila was also not aware. Neither had he been informed of the changes. Yet when he made a telephone Call?to the Deputy secretary, he was told that that decision was Final. Who made the decisions to be Final, while the Secretary to the Party was not aware? Daktari do you remember Raila?clearing the air as to the Confusion by reading the resolutions and the regulations to the press and the public, that he?as the secretary General was asking all those who were interested in contesting for Kanu office bearers,?as well as party nominations to disregard Assistant Secretary's directives, to proceed on to submit their application forms to Kanu Headquarters.. ? Daktari do you also remember that, after this episode of insubordination, Raila later found out that someone had interfered with?the KANU Members register and his name was missing from that Register. Hmmmh! Kanu inawenyewe, remember!? Daktari could you please explain in a short analysis, what happened to simple?KANU Party rules which every Member knew and had a copy of, but which Ruto as the Assistant Secretary decided?to change. ? Fast forward to the ODM nominations. New politics had been ushered in by this one Tinga, where he urged everyone vying for the Presidential Nomination, to sell themselves and their agenda to Kenyans including those in the Diaspora. Some Kenyans who were eager for change decided to raise money and have all those ODM?Presidential candidates? give a speech at the backyard of Buckingham Palace. Raila and Honorable Nyaga arrived there on time. But the other bunch (Majina zao nimezibana), developed cold feet and did not go to England. ? Even after that debacle they blamed Raila for trying to outdo them. Question is what were they scared of? And how Comes Hon Joseph Nyaga was brave enough to go and present himself to the people? My take is, these leaders had nothing to offer to Kenyans other than tribe. And since out there there was?no tribal?empathy, but just Kenyans, they had to shy away and stay in Nairobi. ? Daktari if in your learned mind you believe beyond reasonable doubt, that Raila is self destructing, and that these other people you keep pitting against Raila, are the good ones, then,?you might be?behaving like the Fool who was on a Frying Pan (Furumbem in Kiluhya), but on realizing the Pan was becoming too hot, decided to Jump over into the Fire to save himself. To me Raila looks like he wants to Lead the people where there will be the rule of law, checks and balances. ? Now, if you say that there is any other top Leader currently in Kenya Parliament, whom is striving to Lead the Country with some of those Values in mind, then?I will conclude that you are at a very high level of "Utopian World". For that reason you might wonna climb down the ladder just a little bit, to the level of Mwanainchi, so that you may see the "HANIAFU" colors of these Leaders? ? Raila in Kanu, was constantly undermined, by his Assistant secretary, and other officers who were constantly reminded that "KANU INAWENYEWE". When he was Minister in charge of Roads he made a very Bold Step, to bring in Sanity by re-structuring the road network in the City center. He introduced the One Way routes, which eased the maddening congestion that was already choking Nairobi. He then embarked?on bringing into reality the Construction of a Beltway around Nairobi. BOLDLY, RAILA gave notice to the Land Grabbers to vacate Road reserves to pave way for the beltway. ? At that time Many politicians made a lot of Noise. Some said the "Kihii" was destroying Andu aa nyumba's property. Well, do?you know what happened? Ten years down the Line those who were opposing?Tinga, saw the sense of what he was trying to do. The Construction of the Beltway is underway. The Man hours that have been wasted by congested Roads in Nairobi for the last five years alone, could have given Kenya a big leap towards Industrialization. ? As a Minister of Energy, Raila solicited for funds and got a Donna, to construct a Hydro Electric Plant, away, from the River TANA Line (Kindaruma, Kamburu, Masinga and Kiambere are all located on Tana). This he argued would boost KVA on the Grid, while at the same time the Load on River Tana especially during the Dry spells when the Water Level?is down making the Plants be inoperable. So Sondu/Miriu Plant was born. Interestingly, the government Faulted on releasing its part of the Funds and Miriu project almost died. But the Man (Amolo Tinga)?got another donor to inject more money on the project and Miriu came into being. ? Right now Raila is fighting "Fools" trying to make them see sense as to the necessity of preserving the Forest for future Generation, but all these Fools can see is Tribe. These Leaders, long ago, bought a? "CHEAP LEADERSHIP TOOLBOX,?full of Tools, hundreds of them. Yet each and every tool in that box,?unfortunately, is a "TRIBE" tool. Whenever they retrieve one to fix a problem, it always turns out to be Tribe. For example whenever an illiterate mediocre performing person is?relieved from holding an office, these Leaders will pull out the Tribe Tool;......Yeah! Our Tribe is being finished. A constitution is being made;....NO, we must think of our tribe. ?Improving Road Network,...........NO, NO, NO! now he is destroying our tribes people's property!!!!!!! ? Raila politely asks people who are destroying Forest to move out to pave way for reclaiming the Forest,........... And they go into a cacophonic frenzy. OOOh! Our people must be respected. Those who evicted out our people from Forest land are WAHUNI (Barbaric in nature),?they are Tribal and dada dada daaa. For all they can see as Leaders is tribe. ? But tell you what, ten years down the line, they and?many other people, including you Bwana Daktari, will come to? a "Too late realization", ?that, rather than fight him they would have mobilized and joined Raila in his?efforts to Conserve these Forests. ? Have a conservation Day. But Remember this, that the same Tinga you are barraging with arrow like words here, is truly for the Mwanainchi and Kenya, while those you give a lot of respect and credence here might turn out to be only after their stomachs and "grabbable" wealth. Raila with all his ills, is?500times more sane than the rest of them. ?

As many have said, "Raila is fighting back". However, the real question is, "Raila is fighting who back?". I?am thrilled to answer this question. In brief, Raila is fighting himself. ? After working very hard to consolidate a pwerhouse in the ODM,?Raila embarked on a desperate move to dismatle it.?First he disolved the pentagon then declared himself the sole party leader. Things backfired and the pentagon had to be reconstituted. Notwithstanding the damage had been done. Then came the issue of youths rotting in jail after the postelection violence to which Ngilu was almost kicked out softly. Immediately after that?the raging storm was still on, the hague and Ruto followed by Ruto and the maize scandal arrived. Ruto was not blind he saw his friend Raila?was able to rescue him but instead Raila cut off the rope?that Ruto held on to let him?slip and sink into the?rot?which both?Raila?and Ruto created together. A friend in need is a friend indeed. But at the same time, the person who can bring you down faster is your friend. To Ruto, Raila proved to be a betrayer rather than a friend. Raila became a backstabber. Raila chose to reallign himself with those who fought?both Ruto and Raila?at the expence of those who shed their blood and lost their lives for him. In this case one cannot blame the son of Samoei for saying enough is enough when he met his tribesmen walking their donkeys toward the roadside where their half naked buttocks was being eaten by the mau cold. ? Just why Raila concentrated on this may only be known to himslef. "Was?he?fighting the right war or right enemy". In my view, these fights were completely unecessary for Raila. He should have not initiated it. He needed Ruto as much as Ruto needed him. Ruto tried to hang in there but the assault was too much. Respect was already lost and Raila was not consulting Ruto on anything including things in Ruto's Rift Valley tuff.?However Raila still?needed Ruto for 2012 and by Raila constantly fighting Ruto, he was simply shooting himself in the foot. ? The reason for this war has not been understood even by Raila closest associates. Many would prefer to keep Ruto in ODM because it makes it easy to fight the real opposition. Just why Raila did this baffles many. Was Ruto a threat to the possibility of?the son of?Jaramogi?being chosen the ODM presidential candidate? I doubt it because in ODM Ruto is no match for Raila. Was Ruto threatening to dislodge Raila's silent dog, Musalia Mudavadi? May be. Was he afraid? Ruto could testify and mention?him at the hague hence Raila wanted to dissociate himself from Ruto early? Possibly. All in all my best gues is that Raila saw a threat in Ruto and chose to kick him out earlier rather than later. It suffices to say that the relationship is over. This is just a rerun between Raila and Wamalwa or Raila and Kalonzo. It is going to be impossible for Raila and Ruto to come back together or if they come together, they will still backstab each other. Like Kalonzo, Ruto is going to be the force that blocks Raila from presidency. He has some votes. People should not forget that. ? Now the fight began, procceded and the dust is settling a little bit. Who won and how? I still contend that Raila lost but Ruto did not?gain what Raila lost. This is why. In 2012, Raila got majority of the votes from Rift Valley. Whatever Raila does and however he twists it, he will not get the same ammount of votes from this region if he does not work it with Ruto. Infact he will get less than 30% of the votes he got last time if Kosgey and Sirma stick with him. The Rift Valley was the swing vote for Raila, if he cannot bag 70% of this vote, it will become near impossible to clinch the presidency irrespective of how many people show up at Tononoka. The winning votes are not at Tononoka, it is in the Rift Valley. The coast, western and Eastern are always didivided. Raila will not be a clear winner of?2012 elections and this is what Ruto was working on after being mistreated and he has successfully done it. ? The only lousy thing Ruto did was to join CAMPS too fast. The Kalenjins are very weary of another Kikuyu leadership and Ruto should have known that a fight with Raila does not imply a friendship with Uhuru. The Kalenjins do not want to hear the name Kenyatta anywhere close to power hence as soon as Ruto jumped ship, his best bet was to build a new ship without Uhuru at the top.?However, incase Uhuru allow Ruto to be at the top of the ticket, Raila will have a real fight in the Rift Valley, central and Eastern. ? For?the Kenyan public these things are working in the right direction for a brand new leadership. It is time for the storm to push the takataka to the sea as Raila himself said?and a complete new leader emerge. Again I say, "It?is time for change" Dr. Barack Otieno Abonyo? Daktari, Do you remember YK92? Do you recall what that group did to the country's economy? Do you know "jirongo" (the currency, not the man!)? Now, what you are telling is is that Kenyans are gullible enough (yes, we are, perhaps) to swallow another YK92 renamed to YK2012 hook, bait and sinker? You've done quite a good analysis there, but you missed the point. Raila is fighting not himself but for Kenyans. You've promptly forgotten that all the current flame wars (I don't want to term them political for they are not) are about the Mau and those who have vested interests in it. Please keep your eye on the ball! At the end of the day, you've ended up reading political alignements in the current squabbles. One year in politics is a very long time, and 2012 is 2 years away. Much of what you see now is gonna change shortly. Politicos are always about scheming for power. Remember also that in politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies. It's always about "me". Have you forgotten about the rotten maize? Have you forgotten about the subsidized flour that never was? The talk about the country is just the icing on the cake, which itself is quite bitter. If you asked me who I'd vote for if elections were called today, I'd say .... none, and I know that makes you happy, but that doesn't legitimize your skewed analysis. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." ? ? ? ? ? ? ? -- Lucky Dube -- TODAY!!

Many of these Leaders are "True Hypocrites". I say this because, before they are out of?Copenhagen, many of them will?privately be making deals with the Leaders of the Western World, on how to bring Investments to their Countries, you know the Kind of Investments that Shell have brought to the Ogoni people in Naigeria, Or the type that Oil Investers are trying to bring to Darfur. As soon as Copenhagen is over, they will be dating across to the same West Capitals, seeking for handouts to allow "West Investers" to come and pillage on their Natural Resourses. African Leaders cannot use their heads to use the Vast resources available, to construct even a "ten mile" road. An Investor from the West?or China has to be called,........... Amazing!, ? There are many investments, eg like those heavy ones on the Siera Leonian Diamonds (famously known as Blood Diamonds), or Gold and some Diamonds?in Libera.?Oooh! before I forget why do Jeseph Kabila sit in State house in Kinshasa? Do someone know??His country Congo is?the second Wealthies Nation on earth after USA in terms of Natural resources. Congo has minerals that even the US do not have Radium and Uranium. But lets not get deeper onto that. For a moment just let us dwell on the obvious. Currently the world is saturated with Cell phones. The Technology of Cell phones is so advanced that I can now talk to my?Aunt there in the Village,?which is 45 minutes walk from Nyangoma school in Kogelo ? Now all these cell phones?contain something that is highly sensitive to sound waves, (sound waves are actually "Radio" Signals,) which makes the owner of the cell phone hear that sound. These chips are made of a mineral called?COBALT. This mineral is plenty in DRC and the Investers are there, heavily exploiting the local people who mine this Cobalt in Eastern DRC.The Locals spend Days on end in the mines, But when they bring this very heavy metal to the Investers, they are paid?with food which can last them a week or so. Those who refuse to part with their consignment, demanding real money,?are sometimes shot dead and left in the Forest to rot there. It is that bad! Congolese people on the Eastern part are some of the poorest on this Earth. Yet that region is one of the richest, if not the richest area, in terms of Minerals on the entire earth. Did I hear somebody say that God promised to take the children of Israel to the Promised Land, where there is everything. But at the same time he "Cursed them" (Not for them to die, but the Curse was for lack of Knowledge). If these Hebrews had the knowledge, they would have?had an Idea to mine and to build a plant for processing this cobalt without going to Copenhagen. ? Foward this just a little bit. There are Leaders who would castigate the West, yet they will silently sent their Armies to invade Eastern DRC kill the Locals, then loot the minerals and subsequently sell it to the Investers?who are connected to?the Leaders? of those Western countries. The same Leaders would then attend AU meetings looking holier than though. What amazes in all this,?is? that Kabila still sits in Kinshasa as though he is not aware of the existence of Eatern Congo as part of his Nation. ? And what would you say about Oil?and Diamonds in Angola. Who benefits from all that wealth? What is the GDP of Angola. After the war, and with all that wealth, how comes many Angolans still do not have access to medicine. I know a few Angolans, who have to struggle, just like many Kenyans, through lobby groups to try to bring sanity to their Government to build clinics through out the Nation, so that those who were affected by Landmines can get treatment. And off the cuffs, can someone tell me why Kenya produces the best coffee in the world, yet its coffee Blending Companies are only found in the?England? Do Kenya not have enough Land to build a Coffe processing plant. Just wondering! ? A step further, "Who is "Drinking from the Large Oil wells in both Cameroon and Gabon"? I have met Cameroonians and Gabonese who had to leave their countries, tired because Biya was doing nothing, only going for kickbacks. While Papa Bongo was out of reach. His death was a blessing in disguise for the people, They now hope the oil will trickle a little to them. ? Did you know that by any standards South Africa by now, is supposed to be as advanced as any other Western Nation if not better. It produces Half of the World's Gold and a third of world's diamonds. Yet brothers down there are severaly lacking Jobs, In the recent past? in their stupidity. they have attacked foreiners, believing that this will "Create More Jobs" for them. While they are doing this, the Inkatha Freedom Party Chief, who?swiftly shifted to?ANC to get the numbers, is?busy looking for kickbacks to award a French Company?a Contract on a ?"Shady Deal" to build him a Navy ship. Someone can be fooled to think that the South African Navy do not have the Capacity to do this. However looking at the details, we wonder how?this can be possible when they build all their Military ware during the apertheid era. Those experts did not run away they are still in South Africa. But Mr BBC (Body to Body Contact man) would rather take a young Zulu girl, then get a kick back from a Navy Ship Deal. ? And how about the one in the Horn of Africa, who thinks he should build one Big safe Headquaters, for the Pirates to do "BIG TIME SHIPPING" business?on the East coast of Africa. He will also probably castigate the west too, yet all the Arsenal, plus the Navigational?equipment he and his pirates uses, are manufactured?in Wetern Countries I think it is Hypocrisy of the first order for these Leaders to pretend to?casigate the west, yet they the Leaders are the ones that bring the west to their backyard. ? They want to castigate the west? Somebody tell them that they have to clean their house first. In Darfur it has been the Government, In Angola, that SAVAGE (or?did I hear you call him Jonas)?was too mesmerised by Oil and diamond money. But what do we say about the General and Kaguta who has time and again invaded a forein country with their own Armies all in the name of Minerals, while Joseph is busy listening and dancing to "TECHNO MALEWA" and being happy. Will the people in those areas ever be free to enjoy this wealth? ? Now, if all that is a bit hard to absorb and explain, can someone please make me to understand the actions of one Jacobo the "AMAZULU" man. Jacob you can sing all the "UMSHINI WAM" you want, but remember you are no longer the head?in a?Kraal. You must project the aspirations of South Africans. You will not do this by "BBC" and certainly not by leaving your capable Navy, to bring in the West, then again turning around to castigate the same west you brought into your backyard. It is Hypocrisy ? Just tell them to shut up, finish the meeting and come back to brutalize their people. Half of the time during the meeting, they will be asleep anyway. ?

Yes Kenya is not south Korea, Singapore or U.S.A, but nor are we Somalia, Congo,? and certainly not even Sudan. We are not? developing as fast as we should but we are certainly not digressing as fast as others. What am i saying?? THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR KENYA. Our only decease is the Dr Obonyo's,? Mistaken believe that they are better than others, mainly if they can boldly display some academic initials before their first names. Every Kenya has a take and a gift we can use to positively change our dear country.? Academic achievements are important components, but not the parameters of deciding a good leader. Age, tribe, religion, color or creed are not the components that we should use to decide who should lead Kenya. We should by now have found out that it takes much more that any one of this to be a good leaders. Qualifications of a good leaders should be demonstrated by the particular person over a period of time by the way he /she has employed most of the above and some, which then will show as wisdom. That is who we need. not an egocentric, over spoilled, brat born with a silver spoon in his mouth, driven to school at the back of a Mercedes gassed with tax payers money, smoked his Primary? and secondary Education off, before being Airlifted to some obscure foreign commercial institution before landing back in bang. This kind of person is completely out of touch with reality? He/she lives in a cosmetic world where all that matters lives and dines in five stars. Any thing short of that is irrelevant. Those are all the front runners for leadership in our country, we need some more window shopping Brothers. They have never managed their lives, they had servants do the thinking for them . Yes the can speak with authority aping their fathers. but they can not think like their fathers. they are not their fathers. --- On Mon, 12/14/09, David B wrote: From: David B Subject: RE: [YP_Ke] Re: AFRICA WILL NEVER BE BETTER To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Date: Monday, December 14, 2009, 10:49 AM Mr. Kioko Your point is well taken, you got my point clearly. I was intentionally being pessimistic and for a reason. You will realize yours is the first response to positively identify pessimism and frustration in the piece. Others amazingly, quickly read only tribalism in it. you read them and prove me right. There is even? a picture from a newspaper I attached showing a police officer wasting his sleep, time and tax payers money to investigate who is in the camp. don't they have records? For that reason, few hours ago I put out an attempt to give a hint of what I was driving at. Here it is: It is not about whether people leave the forest or not, it is about how it is done.? You do not create additional problem by trying to solve one. The government has no record of who came out the forest, how many they are and where they came from.? They have no information as to which is the OMENA from the lake and which came from the river.? If they did they would not be going out at night to investigate who is in the camp and who is not. Now they are in dilemma who to compensate and who to chase away. So askaris have to go out at night using stoneage method to identify the omena.? My friends, is this how we will achieve industrialization by 2030?? Stoneage style? By causing over 3000 people to abundon their maturing crops in the field and camp on the road? We will be forced to feed them for the next several months un-necessarily. By chasing out students from their exam rooms to the road? I think there was a better way to solve the past and make the future better for all. MAU AND OTHER FORESTS MUST BE? REHABILITATED. No dispute on this.?? By the way, Ogiek have nowhere to go, their original home is the forest. Does anyone know who among these Omenas are Ogiek? The system has no record of who they are how many they are or how to cater for their interests, they are Kenyans as you and me. Surprisingly, what I hear even from the esteemed memberes of this forum is that Ogiek do not mater, we care less how they are treated or how they survive or die as long as the rest of Kenyans("other tribes"?) get rain. Is that not what we are sayig? If not, how has the system tried to identify them and take care of their interests if they really care about better Kenya?? To me, this was an opportunity to identify them and show a different leadership style by recognizing every Kenayan as part of the whole. Let us not ignore the needs of the tiniest group of Kenyans.? The rights of one individual is as important as the rights of millions. To take care of millions, you start by taking care of one. So why kill over 3000 so that 35million can have rain? Impossible.? The more I read comments on this forum, the more I am sure we are a long long way from being what we ought to be. Just because leadership failed in the past is not an excuse to care less for those affected affected today, the landless who moved into the forest to scarvenge for live. ? -- On Mon, 12/14/09, Francis Kioko wrote: From: Francis Kioko Subject: RE: [YP_Ke] Re: AFRICA WILL NEVER BE BETTER To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Date: Monday, December 14, 2009, 10:32 AM David, ? I reject your notion that Africa will never be better and will never climb out of its quagmires. Be optimistic brother, hope is the engine that drives us and without it we will be stuck forever. Yes we do have serious problems but this is not unique every country has/had but at some point they grow out of it. Growth is growth gradual or fast but growth. Even in quagmires there is progress, pessimisms will not help us at this point in our nation. We need people like you who are tired of the way things are going to join the like minded and press forward for a meaningful change. I feel you brother but what I?m saying is we cannot lose hope no matter what. We need to press forward and remain focused and I think young professionals are to some extend doing exactly that, change will eventual come? no matter how long it will take. Frank ?

Friends, I have enough reason to conclude that Africa will never climb out of its quagmires. Good example of how we are unable to solve even the simplest of our problems is Mau. An "intelligent" Prime minister orders people out of the forest without an audit of who they are, how many they are, where they came from by verification at the Lands office of who has or does not have land. thye just rushed to evict them out of their homes during heavy rains and national school final exams.? did it have to happen only at this very time during exams? during rain? when crops are maturing for harvest?? could it have waited for just two or three monts for crops to be harvested, exams completed, and rains to stop? Now they are complaining of the camps having been infiltrated by impositers? Did they try to, first, know who is coming out of the forest?? Even a mentally retarded persons here in America would have done much better calculation of this situation than so called "presidents and prime ministers of Africa" Did I hear it was done in the name of government decision? "parliament" (210 leaders).? Even if they were bypassed, how could they allow this stupidity to happen in the name of the '"governemnt decision"? How we handle the simplest of our problems tells how high we can rise.? Is it a suprise we will only bless this world with poverty, diseases, civil wars and naked hungry children in the slums?? We could not even plan our settlements for organized better living. Only chaos from city to mashambani. Even land that gives us food, we are unable to manage for maximum and miningful cultivation.? At independence, the only intelligent thing we could accomplish was for the "president's" tribe to acquire land from other tribes as much and fast as possible. What really is our problem? ?

Related Stories For the genuinely evicted, it's a miserable life Former squatter, 72, dies from cold Mau children get a first sight of mzungu The taxpayer now stands to lose millions of shillings if the imposters are not identified and kicked out, the Nation has learnt. Scores of residents of the reserve areas near the camps have assumed the status of refugees by day and home owners at night, in a ploy to benefit from a resettlement package that may be given to the displaced persons. The government?s own audit has confirmed that nearly 3,000 homesteads in the camps are those of imposters. Mau is Kenya?s largest indigenous forest and the biggest water tower with at least 12 rivers originating from it. They include Ewaso Ng?iro, Sondu, Mara and Njoro and encroachment on it has led to the drying up of several lakes in the Rift Valley, which solely feed off its waters. Mau?s strategic importance lies in the ecosystem services it provides to Kenya and beyond, including the regulation of river flow, flood mitigation, water storage, reduced soil erosion and biodiversity. Its continued destruction, therefore, threatens to cause a water crisis of national and regional proportions that could extend far beyond the borders of Kenya. Daily Nation journalists visited camps at Kipkongor and Kurbanyat where more than 1,000 families ordered out of the forest in the first phase of evictions are staying. The visit established that while the tents are fully occupied with men, women and children during the day, many of them were vacant at night. Transition camps Mr Ezekiel Kirui, the vice-chair of the camp, confirmed that many people from the nearby Kapkembu settlement scheme were masquerading as having been evicted and have been trickling to the transitional camps during the day. At night their tents are deserted. Mr Kirui who moved out of Tilolwet Village in the forest, said: ?Some of us in these camps are land speculators and are here expecting to hijack the opportunity and get compensation.? He said the number of those evicted in a camp called Tarta had shot up since the government announced a Sh35,000 compensation for the victims. The cheats are also benefiting from humanitarian aid of food, blankets and medicine provided by charitable organisations and the government. This had drastically reduced the rations for genuine victims of eviction, Mr Kirui said. ?The first registration conducted indicated that we are around 684 families, but the number has since risen to more than 2,000 families with many still streaming in,? he said. ? -- 7 DAYS TO GO!

Tribalism was the main reason behind the violence after 2007 elections, we all know this although we baptize with many words. My question is when shall we learn if the violence was not enough lesson for us? Why do we have young people still seeing things from tribal perspective, how much do we gain by having a president from our tribe? I don't know who will save us from this vice! We care so much about what tribe is the president instead of what values he stands for, we blindly follow our leaders even when they are wrong simply because we have accepted a sycophantic lifestyle. We don't want to hear any negative thing being said about a leader we fully support, in other words the leader we support is always a saint and all others are devils. The truth be told; there is not one single leader who will have it all, a leader must be a person who is capable of uniting people and getting the job done through influence not dictatorship. Sometimes we think leaders have failed us but we don't understand the logistics on the ground, leaders don't lead alone and this is where it gets complicated. My advice to my colleagues in this forum is LETS CHANGE OUR MINDS AND CHANGE OUR LIVES FOREVER. Our mind set could be the reason behind our failure. I compare Kenya 2002 and the Kenya 2009 and I see a lot of progress but I also see so many wasted opportunities. The economy was growing at 7% just before the election, then tribalism showed up and we dived deep to less than 2% growth. As much as we blame leaders for the mess we need also take responsibility and accept that we are the people who accepted their money to mess up our country. The leaders came up with the idea of killing people from other tribes and we implemented it, we could have said NO to them. We have allowed leaders dictate our lifestyles too much, it's the high time we told them off and this is what I long to see in this forum. We got to change our minds to change our lives. Change from far looks impossible and in reality, change is difficult but the truth be told it is doable. Let's be patient with one another and use this forum to sharpen each other not attacking each other. A very dear friend told me to sometimes doubt what I know and open up to challenges that may show me the other side of that I know. The problem with some of us is we don't know that we don't know. Think again and let's pull together, we will get there sometimes. It took U.S many years to be where they are today and I strongly believe that we can get there faster than they did.

I was intentionally being pessimistic and for a reason. You will realize yours is the first response to positively identify pessimism and frustration in the piece. Others amazingly, quickly read only tribalism in it. you read them and prove me right. There is even a picture from a newspaper I attached showing a police officer wasting his sleep, time and tax payers money to investigate who is in the camp. don't they have records? For that reason, few hours ago I put out an attempt to give a hint of what I was driving at. Here it is: It is not about whether people leave the forest or not, it is about how it is done. You do not create additional problem by trying to solve one. The government has no record of who came out the forest, how many they are and where they came from. They have no information as to which is the OMENA from the lake and which came from the river. If they did they would not be going out at night to investigate who is in the camp and who is not. Now they are in dilemma who to compensate and who to chase away. So askaris have to go out at night using stoneage method to identify the omena. My friends, is this how we will achieve industrialization by 2030? Stoneage style? By causing over 3000 people to abundon their maturing crops in the field and camp on the road? We will be forced to feed them for the next several months un-necessarily. By chasing out students from their exam rooms to the road? I think there was a better way to solve the past and make the future better for all. MAU AND OTHER FORESTS MUST BE REHABILITATED. No dispute on this. By the way, Ogiek have nowhere to go, their original home is the forest. Does anyone know who among these Omenas are Ogiek? The system has no record of who they are how many they are or how to cater for their interests, they are Kenyans as you and me. Surprisingly, what I hear even from the esteemed memberes of this forum is that Ogiek do not mater, we care less how they are treated or how they survive or die as long as the rest of Kenyans("other tribes"?) get rain. Is that not what we are sayig? If not, how has the system tried to identify them and take care of their interests if they really care about better Kenya? To me, this was an opportunity to identify them and show a different leadership style by recognizing every Kenayan as part of the whole. Let us not ignore the needs of the tiniest group of Kenyans. The rights of one individual is as important as the rights of millions. To take care of millions, you start by taking care of one. So why kill over 3000 so that 35million can have rain? Impossible. The more I read comments on this forum, the more I am sure we are a long long way from being what we ought to be. Just because leadership failed in the past is not an excuse to care less for those affected affected today, the landless who moved into the forest to scarvenge for live. -- On Mon, 12/14/09, Francis Kioko wrote: From: Francis Kioko Subject: RE: [YP_Ke] Re: AFRICA WILL NEVER BE BETTER To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Date: Monday, December 14, 2009, 10:32 AM David, I reject your notion that Africa will never be better and will never climb out of its quagmires.

Yes we do have serious problems but this is not unique every country has/had but at some point they grow out of it. Growth is growth gradual or fast but growth. Even in quagmires there is progress, pessimisms will not help us at this point in our nation. We need people like you who are tired of the way things are going to join the like minded and press forward for a meaningful change. I feel you brother but what I'm saying is we cannot lose hope no matter what.

Good example of how we are unable to solve even the simplest of our problems is Mau. An "intelligent" Prime minister orders people out of the forest without an audit of who they are, how many they are, where they came from by verification at the Lands office of who has or does not have land. thye just rushed to evict them out of their homes during heavy rains and national school final exams. did it have to happen only at this very time during exams? during rain? when crops are maturing for harvest? could it have waited for just two or three monts for crops to be harvested, exams completed, and rains to stop? Now they are complaining of the camps having been infiltrated by impositers? Did they try to, first, know who is coming out of the forest? Even a mentally retarded persons here in America would have done much better calculation of this situation than so called "presidents and prime ministers of Africa" Did I hear it was done in the name of government decision? "parliament" (210 leaders). Even if they were bypassed, how could they allow this stupidity to happen in the name of the '"governemnt decision"? How we handle the simplest of our problems tells how high we can rise. Is it a suprise we will only bless this world with poverty, diseases, civil wars and naked hungry children in the slums? We could not even plan our settlements for organized better living. Only chaos from city to mashambani. Even land that gives us food, we are unable to manage for maximum and miningful cultivation. At independence, the only intelligent thing we could accomplish was for the "president's" tribe to acquire land from other tribes as much and fast as possible. What really is our problem?

Photo/HEZRON NJOROGE By JOY WANJA and GEORGE SAYAGIEPosted Sunday, December 13 2009 at 21:11 Tricksters have infiltrated camps for people evicted from Mau Forest putting into jeopardy the government's compensation plan. Related Stories * For the genuinely evicted, it's a miserable life * Former squatter, 72, dies from cold * Mau children get a first sight of mzungu The taxpayer now stands to lose millions of shillings if the imposters are not identified and kicked out, the Nation has learnt. Scores of residents of the reserve areas near the camps have assumed the status of refugees by day and home owners at night, in a ploy to benefit from a resettlement package that may be given to the displaced persons. The government's own audit has confirmed that nearly 3,000 homesteads in the camps are those of imposters. Mau is Kenya's largest indigenous forest and the biggest water tower with at least 12 rivers originating from it. They include Ewaso Ng'iro, Sondu, Mara and Njoro and encroachment on it has led to the drying up of several lakes in the Rift Valley, which solely feed off its waters. Mau's strategic importance lies in the ecosystem services it provides to Kenya and beyond, including the regulation of river flow, flood mitigation, water storage, reduced soil erosion and biodiversity. Its continued destruction, therefore, threatens to cause a water crisis of national and regional proportions that could extend far beyond the borders of Kenya. Daily Nation journalists visited camps at Kipkongor and Kurbanyat where more than 1,000 families ordered out of the forest in the first phase of evictions are staying. The visit established that while the tents are fully occupied with men, women and children during the day, many of them were vacant at night. Transition camps Mr Ezekiel Kirui, the vice-chair of the camp, confirmed that many people from the nearby Kapkembu settlement scheme were masquerading as having been evicted and have been trickling to the transitional camps during the day. At night their tents are deserted. Mr Kirui who moved out of Tilolwet Village in the forest, said: "Some of us in these camps are land speculators and are here expecting to hijack the opportunity and get compensation." He said the number of those evicted in a camp called Tarta had shot up since the government announced a Sh35,000 compensation for the victims. The cheats are also benefiting from humanitarian aid of food, blankets and medicine provided by charitable organisations and the government. This had drastically reduced the rations for genuine victims of eviction, Mr Kirui said. "The first registration conducted indicated that we are around 684 families, but the number has since risen to more than 2,000 families with many still streaming in," he said. -- 7 DAYS TO GO!

Goldenberg scandal The Goldenberg scandal was a political scandal where the Kenyan government was found to have subsidised exports of gold far beyond standard arrangements during the 1990s, by paying the company Goldenberg International 35% more (in Kenyan shillings) than their foreign currency earnings. Although it notionally appears that the scheme was intended to earn hard currency for the country, it is estimated to have cost Kenya the equivalent of more than 10% of the country's annual Gross Domestic Product [1], and it is possible that no or minimal amounts of gold were actually exported. The scandal appears to have involved political corruption at the highest levels of the government of Daniel Arap Moi. Officials in the current government of Mwai Kibaki have also been implicated. Contents[hide] 1 Background 2 Details 3 Bosire report 3.1 Travel restrictions 4 Prosecutions 5 See also 6 External links 7 References [edit] Background Similar to most countries, Kenya encourages international trade by granting tax-free status to commercial enterprises involved in the export of goods and sometimes subsidizes these exports. The Goldenberg scandal was based on the fact that exporters who deposited U.S. dollar earnings with the Kenya central bank received in exchange the equivalent in Kenyan shillings plus 20 percent. However, gold mining represented a tiny portion of Kenya's GDP, with only one operational gold mine (at Kakamega). Goldenberg International therefore developed a scheme of smuggling gold into Kenya from Congo, so that it could legally export it more than the export price from the government. [edit] Details The chief architect beyond the scheme was a relative of the Kenyan businessman Kamlesh Pattni. However, it was Pattni who established Goldenberg International to implement the scheme. [2] The very large sums involved (600 million dollars) indicate that the senior government officials were at least complicit. Almost all the politicians in the Moi government and a considerable percentage of the current Kibaki government have been accused. The judicial system also appears to have been deeply involved, with twenty three of Kenya's senior judges resigning after evidence indicated their involvement [3]. The scheme began in 1991, almost immediately after the Kenya government introduced measures to reform the economy and increase international trade and investment, and seems to have stopped in 1993 when it was exposed by a whistleblower, David Munyakei. As a result of this, Munyakei was fired from his position at the Central Bank of Kenya, and spent the next decade of his life poor and largely unemployed. He died in August 2006, leaving three daughters and his wife.[4] There have been two investigations on the scam, one under the Moi government and the other under the current government. The gold was likely imported from Democratic Republic of the Congo, and therefore probably helped finance the war that raged (1997-2002) in that country. [edit] Bosire report On February 3, 2006 A report by Mr Justice Bosire [5] recommended that current Education Minister George Saitoti should face criminal charges for his actions and that former President Daniel arap Moi should be further investigated. Saitoti was both vice president and finance minister under Moi in the early 1990s. On 13 February Saitoti's resignation was announced by President Kibaki in a television address.[6] The report said that records presented at the inquiry showed that Lima Ltd, which is associated with Mr Gideon Moi, Mr Nicholas Biwott, and two other people received Sh6.3 million from Goldenberg. However, the Commission concluded that in respect of Nicholas Biwott, who had not been in government at the time, ?no moneys of Goldenberg were involved?, the matter was outside the terms of reference and the commission could enquire into it. [7] The report also said Sh158.3 billion of Goldenberg money was transacted with 487 companies and individuals. A list of exhibits compiled by the commission puts Goldenberg International Ltd at the top of the primary recipients of the money, at Sh35.3 billion. The directors of Goldenberg were named as Mr Pattni and Mr Kanyotu. Although Mr Kanyotu was the director of the Special Branch and a director of First American Bank, he described himself as a farmer in Goldenberg documents. President Moi was named by Mr Pattni as having been a shareholder of GIL by nominee. [edit] Travel restrictions Shortly after, Saitoti along with 20 several others suspected to be involved in the scandal were prohibited from leaving the country and ordered to surrender any weapons they possessed. Among those named were Gideon Moi, Retired President Moi's son, also the Baringo Central MP Mr Philip Moi Retired President Moi's son Mr Moi's lawyer, Mr Mutula Kilonzo Mr Moi's former personal assistant, Mr Joshua Kulei former Central Bank of Kenya governor Eric Kotut former Central Bank of Kenya deputy governor Eliphas Riungu former Central Bank of Kenya employee Job Kilach. former Central Bank of Kenya employee Tom Werunga former Central Bank of Kenya employee Michael Wanjihia Philip Murgor, the former director of public prosecutions Mr Murgor's law firm represented the Central Bank of Kenya during the two-year public inquiry headed by Mr Justice Bosire. Former Treasury permanent secretary Charles Mbindyo former Treasury permanent secretary Wilfred Karuga Koinange former Treasury permanent secretary Joseph Magari Prof George Saitoti, who resigned as Education minister. Goldenberg architect Kamlesh Pattni Pattni's business partner and former Special Branch chief James Kanyotu former commissioner of Mines and Geology Collins Owayo Mr Arthur Ndegwa, senior mining engineer in the Commissioner of Mines Nairobi office former commissioner of Customs and Excise Francis Cheruiyot. former Kenya Commercial Bank general manager Elijah arap Bii Former president Moi himself was not listed. ? The Law Society of Kenya chairman Tom Ojienda criticised Police Commissioner Hussein Ali?s move to seize travel documents. He described the decisions as "a total violation of the law and the Constitution". Ojienda regretted that individuals had been charged, tried and convicted by the court of public opinion and the media or through political statements. He commended three Cabinet ministers who resigned to pave way for investigations into the Anglo Leasing and Goldenberg scandals. "The resignation of three members of Cabinet signifies the maturity of our democracy, where leaders whose reputations are besmirched would opt to resign pending investigations to clear their names rather than hold the Government hostage. Such resignations are no pointers to guilt." [8] [edit] Prosecutions Two transactions stand out - one for Sh5.8 billion from the Central Bank to Goldenberg International in 1993, personally authorised by then-president Daniel Arap Moi, and another for Sh13.5 billion. The then CID director Joseph Kamau told reporters on March 9, 2006 that files on Pattni, Kanyotu, Koinange, Kotut, Bii, Riungu and Werunga had been passed to attorney-general Amos Wako. Wako has been attorney-general since 1991, when Moi was in power. Wako is recommending that the country's chief justice consider overturning a previous court order exempting Mr Saitoti from prosecution. All except Werunga are to be charged.[9] The prosecution hopes that Werunga will be their witness. [10] In August 2006 it was reported that a constitutional court had ruled that Saitoti could not be charged. [11] The Kenyan media reacted negatively to the decision. The Kenya Times saw political motives behind it[12], while The Daily Nation editorialised that the "War on graft is, indeed, lost".[13] [edit] See also Corruption in Kenya Anglo Leasing Scandal John Githongo Nicholas Biwott [edit] External links BBC A short story on Goldenberg USA government study of Kenya's mineral industry(pdf) Document attempt by government to place blame on a Canadian Forensic accountants traces goldenburg transaction This article may explain Goldenburg in a different style CNN report on deportation of Canadian Involvement of judges in Goldenburg scandal Graft evidence stuns Kenyan MPs [edit] References ^ BBC News: Moi 'ordered' Goldenberg payment ^ East African Standard Faces behind the Goldenberg scam ^ Corruption conventions lack clout ^ Mambo Africa - Death of a Whistle blower ^ Moi 'knew about' Kenya gold scam ^ BBC News: Kenyan 'graft' ministers resign ^ [www.tikenya.org/documents/Goldenberg%20Report.pdf Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the Goldenberg Affair] paragraph 694 ^ East African Standard: LSK criticises minister on graft assets ^ BBC: Kenyans facing Goldenberg charges ^ The Standard: AG orders prosecution of Goldenberg suspects ^ Former vice-president escapes graft charges The Guardian ^ Kenyan Judiciary struggles to pass the integrity test ^ Goldenberg: Constitutional Court Ruling a Blow to Kenya?s Anti-Corruption Rhetoric?

Did your Grandmother ever tell you about the story of the girl who, seeked attention from the villagers by crying that she was being attacked by "Ondieg? Otoyo" (hyena) every time the Villagers would go running to save her only to realize that it was a hoax? So the day the real Hyena came, she went on a desperate cry, so passionate trying to convince the villagers that it was a real Hyena. But the Villagers thought that as before, she was just trying to deceive them. ? So Otoyo went with her and had a bumptious meal out of her.? That Hadithi tells us that one should not dwell on "hoaxes" more so spending a lot of time writing irrelevant material that may or may not have been substantiated. The more I follow your writing the more it seems as you are getting frustrated to the point of desperation. May I offer you my two cents advise, that A Kenyan Politician really does not care about your attacks on them. Top of this, there are very few people who will borrow from your advice to move into action. It therefore remain that for you to make an impact? so that these Waheshimiwa will listen, you may want to change tact. ? Secondly the path you are now treading on of looking at the educational backgrounds, ain't gonna take you far. Neither will it stand well with many people in Kenya. I can tel you that right now, that, that now you are hitting below the belt. Whether it is the truth or not No Politician in Kenya wants to be reminded of their illiteracy level or weak education ? Let me jog you memory if this might have gone out of your RAM. Not many years ago there was a very powerful MP from Nakuru North. He was a very pragmatic man, full of action. He conducted many many Harambes and built a number of Primary schools in this manner. But he never knew how to read or write Many still remember him for what he did. Mr. Kariuki Chotara was from Nakuru North. ? Another Example. One MULU MUTISYA alias Mburu Mbuthia, is one of the best Kamba politician that ever emerged from that Land . There is no comparison to him in terms of Development and service to Ukambani. He never knew hoe to read or write. His?pen was his finger prints Another one is the Man famous for TIP TIP, Amani Kenya. He even admited that he was not good at writing or reading the the two Languages Swahili and Kiengresa. But he has done a lot in Ukambani, far much better than those Politicians who Yap Yap, are educated, bu offer no development ideas at all. ? All I am saying is that you should not dismiss people because of their lack of education. We have seen in many instances that low level educated Kenyans many a times can do better than the professors, who think that their name tag is a highway to development for their constituents. ?

Just had a whisper. Raila Odinga is nolonger Arab Mibei. He is Kariuki or should I say Mwangi. I cannot remember my Kikuyu. How do you say son of Mwangi in Kikuyu. Well well well. I got mixed up. Where is the tail or the head. No one knows. What is is left is an animimal called Kenya. No one claims the whole loot of animal. Some claim the tail, some the head while others everything. ? Well I am talking like I do not belong to my motheland. Indeed I am discussing the point like some folk are better than me. Yes I am talking like I do not? have my balls in my hands and yet indeed I do. I am simply woodwinked. Woodwinked indeed I am. I have put my tail between my legs and hoped that the son of Odinga, KIibaki, Kenyatta and Mudavadi will make sme noble decision on my behalf and that at their decision the sky will give up the rain. ? Guys, what a trash. Yes trash indeed. The son of Odinga, Mudavadi and Kenyatta have nothing extra. I went to schoool with some of them and to tell you the trueth they could not prove that they have anything extra. They are ?human if not less human at times. I will explain further in my next draft. ? The most unforturenate thing is that many Kenyans belieive that they do have an extra ball. Some even believe they are extraterrestrial. Plainly stated, they are the "shit ". And if one, Dr.Barack Abonyo appear and state that they want to be president, they will ask quetions like "Who does he think he is" Can he be above our god? ? ? My quetion is who is Uhuru, who is Mudavadi, who is Knyatta, who is Raila. In my opinion, they are just people, whose parents happenned to have paved some way. And believe me , they themselves know that they are just people. They are neither devils nor engels. However,? they have now woodwinked Kenyan public that they are demigods, that nobody can become. That noone can lead Kenya except them. They themselves know that they are lieing. The Kenyan public are the ones who have not woken up to the lie. And?to that who shall I castigate? ?Kenya! Oh Kenya! when will you wake up? ? ?Any how, my response is in in two words. Damn Bullshit. We can do better. Some of us have better credentials than these people. ? Ok lets prove it.Uhuru went to this obsecure school whose name no one knows called Amhrest College,USA.??Gentlemen, this is an extrmely small liberal Arts Small School. And by the way, did Uhuu pass his CPE. Furthermor, where did Kalonzo, Ruto, Raila and Balala go to college. In brief,?they are not? interlectual OR REVLUTIONARY. Besides?they have not done anything beyond these primary education levels or challenging Moi and yet Kenyans want to believe that they?are way ?better than Dr. Matunda Nyanchama, Dr. Shem Ochguodho, or Dr. PLO Limumba or Dr. Matunga Mark. I am so ineterested in knowing, how devils perform miracles. Please just convince me how they are better. ? I just want to know how Uhuru, Jimi, Castro, Musalya etc become visionaries while?Matunga become nobody. ? Can someone help me figure this out. If one can change this notion, then he can change leadership in Kenya. My bet is that untill all of us start selling who we are, we will be lead by the Mugabes of kenya. ? Dr. Barack Abonyo ? ?

Now, if Your nissan was made in Japan then they normally have a provision or option for Right Hand Drive, meaning there is provision for all ammenities on both left and Right sides of the car. But if it was manufactured somewhere in Indiana or Detroit then it might not have these as it will be for American market alone. ? Despite that Jua Kali guys in Kenya will chang this for you quickly. The obstacle will be with Customs. Therefore if your Mechanic finds out that the Nissan has provisions then he can change the steering column and the pedals before you ship it out. ?

Specifically, how men and women are wired differently. They act differently, they communicate differently and most importantly, they think differently. Mark shows couples that their problems may result from how men and women THINK about life in a different way. He explains that many of the struggles couples face in marriage are the result of a HEAD problem, not a HEART problem. In addition you will discover: - The importance of sex in your marriage. - About that secret place your husband loves to go to - "The Nothing Box". - How to get a man to do what you want him to do. - Four simple steps to change the flow of give and take in your relationship.

Unlike Moi, the man was eloquent and inspiring and seemed to genuinely care about Kenya. Seeing him among the youthful group known as "the Pentagon" up on stage gave me hope for the future. But now "the Pentagon" has morphed into the KKK alliance. (Are members of this alliance aware that KKK is short for the Klu Klux Klan, the much-loathed separatist and racist organisation in the United States?), and the so-called youth of the Pentagon are turning out to be more of a liability than an asset? What makes me really sad is that many of the Pentagon members and advocates of the KKK-alliance are my age-mates. Now in our 40s, we all belong to the generation that spent its childhood under the Kenyatta regime and most of its young adulthood under Moi. This makes us unique in several ways. One, because we did not experience colonialism first-hand, we do not carry the baggage our parents did. We were the first generation to enter integrated multiracial schools, which made us much more relaxed around other races and ethnic groups than our parents. We all escaped the 8-4-4 system of education, which, in retrospect, was probably a blessing. We went to university in the days when university education was free and when students were even entitled to "boom". Those of us who went abroad to study always came back home and never thought of emigrating (though the temptation to emigrate heightened during the repressive 1980s when many of our colleagues and friends ended up in jail or were tortured or killed). Many of us went on to achieve great things and become trail-blazers in our professions. But all of us paid the price of Moi-ism in one way or another; we bore the brunt of Goldenberg-instigated inflation and collapsing services. We were among the first to witness the country being destroyed by a clique of powerful men. Being a product of Moi, Ruto benefited enormously from his proximity to the man in State House. It is said that Moi would take the young Ruto with him to trips abroad, the first one to Indonesia, when Ruto was a university student and leader of what was known as the University Christian Union Choir. MOI'S FONDNESS FOR RUTO GAVE the latter access to lucrative business ventures. It was probably during this time that Ruto began having presidential aspirations. In 1992, the youthful Ruto became part of Youth for Kanu '92, a notorious gang of youths that was formed to ensure that Moi retained power under multipartyism, and which was known to dish out money to Kanu supporters. YK '92 was not just an ordinary youth group; its members enjoyed big money, and enormous power. Like the dreaded Special Branch, its members seemed to be in every nook and cranny of the country and operated with impunity. YK '92 became the launching pad for many political aspirants, including our minister for Agriculture. There are many things I expected of my generation. I thought we would lead this country out of its reactionary, short-sighted politics into a new world order where every Kenyan would feel a sense of pride in his or her country. But my generation let this country down like no other. We sat back and did nothing while the Treasury was being looted. We did not make noise when land was illegally grabbed. Those of us who got tired of fighting the system retreated into little worlds we created to feel safe. Some of us joined the church, others sought comfort in bars. Many of us even decided that if we could not beat them, we would join them. So my generation produced some of the most shrewd, aggressive, competitive, arrogant, selfish, greedy, insensitive and myopic businesspeople and politicians this country has ever seen. They are the people running the country: they chair board meetings, head parastatals and NGOs, run multimillion shilling companies, set government policy and represent the country at international meetings. We like to believe that the country is being run by a bunch of old men, but the truth is, decisions all over the country are being made by people of my generation. From the look of things, many of these decisions are not just wrong for the country but for future generations as well. A wise man once told me, "Beware of a young man in a hurry". William Kipchirchir Samoei arap Ruto's pace should worry us all. -- 5 DAYS TO GO! LYP BONDING SESSION & NYAMA CHOMA. Date: Sunday 20th Dec. Time: 10:00am ? 6:00pm.

If someone have made some writing, you are also not forced to have your eyes running through it. But if a person is smelling (either perfume or the other..) or making loud sounds (either harmonic or noisy), you can't block it out. You would literally have to move physically to avoid it. Therefore, it is a good constitutional right to be free to express oneself. But it is also a good constitutional right to be free of being forced listening to all those who want to express themselves. A harmonic balance there would be preferable, for instance just mutual respect would be good - in that someone who want to make noise ask for permission from all neighbours beforehand, just as someone who want to burn his garbage in his garden should also ask for permission beforehand. ----- Original Message ----- From: Emillio Karega To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 1:31 PM Subject: Re: [YP_Ke] Current Noise Pollution law is SILLY Can you explain how Michuki Rules on SOUND POLLUTION infringe your constitutional rights?

I also want to urge you Friends that we start scrutinizing those laws made by Local authorities to see whether they conform to the Provisions of the Constituiton and those found to be repugnant to the Supreme Law better thrown off the Window. The same applies to Rallies an0d meetings, Parliament enacted a law prohibiting any person from organizing meeting/s attending Rallies unless authorised by the Police.

The fact that Michuki came up with rules that infringe on religious worship can not necessarily send him to hell, and if you had understood the ways of God, they are very different from your naive thinking. Michuki has a noble idea which, like every other good idea, has it's own flows. We need to be objective and see how we can work around the few flows in an otherwise excellent idea.

The issue here is not PhD. Delink PhD from this and tell me why voters decided to reject Orengo when he differed with Raila. Tell me why Uhuru is considered a presidential candidate while some people like Kiai, Matunga etc are simply told you cannot. What good did Ruto do to be who he is now. And who is this guy called Mbugua. Yes they may be able to be down with the public but sometimes voter education may be important. It makes no sense to vote for thieves again and again and expect them to perform miracles. And then when we ask what is wrong with Kenya we are told we are being elitist. Makwiny, Oduor, Janyandito etc, the trueth is that we are what is wrong with Kenya. If you and me stood for what is right then we could change Kenya. How do you have a minister for enviroment who knows nothing about the enviroment. He may perform but he may not be very well informed. And please do not tell me about Mulu Mutisya. Yes he achieved alot as a businessman and indeed helped alot of people but he should have not been made a minister in the Republic of Kenya. He did not have the capacity to interprate policy. It is wrong to still perpetuate this in the 21st century. In some leadership position, you need informed people. If you want Kenya to develope into a first world the leadership must be knowledgable. Of course they do not need a PhD to do so but at least they need some education. Again PhD is not the centre of the argument. The centre of argument is that Kenyans believe these are the only gene pool and yet when this gene pool is anlaysed the only thing that come out of it is inadequacy. The comparisson between me and these people misses the point. I am not your pm, minister for agriculture, etc etc, neither do I intend to vie for a position. In that matter personalising my PhD and making it the centre of argument is immaterial. No arrogance intended, it is just analysis of the type of leadership Kenyans and by extension Africa has chosen. As one once said, ?African vilify its intelectuals and praise their fools? And it is true, that is the way we have ended up with Amin Dada, Mobutu, Mugabe and now Zuma. And finally, for the record, I am not intending to contest any seat but I am going to work very hard to change people?s minds. I am not interested in a political position right now Barack Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:16:40 -0800 From: danonguru at yahoo.com Subject: Re: [YP_Ke] WHY KENYAN LEADERS ALWAYS WOODWINK THE KENYAN PUBLIC To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Kevin, you are not rude, you are not exact! This Abonyo portrays the entire USA as a block no serious African should attend school! I am sure he refers to Ugenya-Siaya when he says US. For one, Abonyo's (if this is his true name...I doubt) introduction depicts a man short of everything; class, reason, direction, education, name it! A standard 8 from a small obscure Rambira would easily think the author of Abonyo's mail is some Std 5 trying his first composition (It has no creativity, poorly drafted with illiterate grammar & spelling chaff). In Kenya, Abonyo, we stopped feeding on PhDs! we have those poor coffee growers who may not present certificates, but they make the economy grow! Then we have intellectuals (unlike Abonyo), who spend their useful time and contacts abroad to bring investors! By the way, where is Abonyo writing from? We have personalities in this forum, and, Abonyo, real men like me use their full names in their addresses for we fear nobody will unveil us! Please don't trash about Uhuru, Mudavadi, Kalonzo, Raila, Kibaki, bla bla,....right now we need contributions to the draft con...(oh, you have a PhD and cannot comment on trivial issues!)

For a Ph.D holder, your post has redundancy and grammatical errors. You might be book smart, but that doesn't mean you are wise. What do you mean by saying Uhuru Kenyatta went to Amherst, a small liberal arts college, does that mean you are better than him? I'm not trying to be rude or anything but in future, humility goes a long way. When you are walking down the streets, people would not see Ph.D written all over your face. Lets face it dude, you are human like the rest of the world. --- On Mon, 12/14/09, Lee Makwiny wrote: From: Lee Makwiny Subject: Re: [YP_Ke] WHY KENYAN LEADERS ALWAYS WOODWINK THE KENYAN PUBLIC To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Cc: "jaluo jaluo" , eastafrican at nation.co.ke, publiceye at publiceyesite.org, "newvision" , progressiveminds at yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, December 14, 2009, 5:44 AM Barack Abonyo, PhD etc, You are one such guy who can not win an election. Have you ever wondered why someone like Mulu Mutisya, Kalembe Ndile, Ochieng Daima are able to win elections and beat more educated people like you? Yes, for the simple fact, they are able to indentify with the common man. This your article is purely "elitist" and wont take Kenya anywhere. We have seen such people before, and they keep on loosing elections, infact, they wont even win a civic seat. I have an uncle who has PhD, the only help he can give you is to tell you to go to school, not solution, can't even pay for you a school fee. Now one time, i took to him some proposal by some women, you know what he did! He "marked" the proposal like the way they do to masters/PhD students and that was the end of the story. That reminds me of few people I have read about, one is called Bill Gates and the other one is "Emeagwali". We so many such people in Kenya. Infact, telling my son that he does not qualify for a parliamentary seat because I, the dad was once an MP is defeatist. Let Uhuru be judged as Uhuru, let Raila be judged as Raila, coz I dont see how it was the fault of their fathers to fight for Uhuru. Where was my (grand)father and your (grand)father then? May be they were busy looking after cows while Odinga went to Maseno! Again, it high time that you stop making personality talks your pet subject. Take issues! Issues and Issues! Only then shal we(I) take you seriously. Otherwise I will take you to be like the Prof who constested presented his papers claiming he as seven degrees! Do you remember him?

How do you say son of Mwangi in Kikuyu. Well well well. I got mixed up. Where is the tail or the head. No one knows. What is is left is an animimal called Kenya. No one claims the whole loot of animal. Some claim the tail, some the head while others everything. Well I am talking like I do not belong to my motheland. Indeed I am discussing the point like some folk are better than me. Yes I am talking like I do not have my balls in my hands and yet indeed I do. I am simply woodwinked. Woodwinked indeed I am. I have put my tail between my legs and hoped that the son of Odinga, KIibaki, Kenyatta and Mudavadi will make sme noble decision on my behalf and that at their decision the sky will give up the rain. Guys, what a trash. Yes trash indeed. The son of Odinga, Mudavadi and Kenyatta have nothing extra. I went to schoool with some of them and to tell you the trueth they could not prove that they have anything extra. They are human if not less human at times. I will explain further in my next draft. The most unforturenate thing is that many Kenyans belieive that they do have an extra ball. Some even believe they are extraterrestrial. Plainly stated, they are the "shit ". And if one, Dr.Barack Abonyo appear and state that they want to be president, they will ask quetions like "Who does he think he is" Can he be above our god? My quetion is who is Uhuru, who is Mudavadi, who is Knyatta, who is Raila. In my opinion, they are just people, whose parents happenned to have paved some way. And believe me
