Dear WU Aiying Buzhang, Dear WU Yuhua Juzhang, Beijing Aizhixing Institute is shocked to learn that as of 31 May 2009, the last day of annual lawyers? license renewal, around 18 lawyers who have always protect venerable citizen under rights abuse, including HIV/AIDS victims, with professional legal knowledge, though legal procedures are spited during their license renewal process or faced disbarment. According to reports from domestic website Canyu and a rights monitoring group, Chinese Human Rights Defenders, we are sad to see there is a ?Black list? created to target the group of dedicated (human) rights lawyers. These lawyers did not do anything wrong but protect citizen?s right and dignity with their legal profession. They are lawyers of conscious! We believed they have no reason to be punished. In fact, the Minister of Justice and the Beijing Municipal Justice Bureau should encourage these lawyers and honor them with awards. We demand the Minister of Justice and the Beijing Municipal Justice Bureau immediately and unconditionally lifted the disbarment of these lawyers. We the citizens, the vulnerable and the HIV/AIDS groups need these lawyers? service and help. We need our government to ensure our due process and guarantee our rights protection under rule of law! Yours Sincerely, Beijing Aizhixing Institute List of Lawyers not given licenses renewal: Jiang Tianyong(???), Li Heping(???), Li Xiongbing(???), Li Chunfu(???), Wang Yajun(???), Cheng Hai(??), Tang Jitian(???), Yang Huiwen(???), Xie Yanyi(???), Li Dunyong(???), Wen Haibo(???), Liu Wei(??) , Zhang Lihui(???), Li Jinlin(???), Liu Xiaoyuan(???), Wei Liangyue(???, Heilongjiang), Yang Zaixin?????Guangxi?, Sun Wenbing (???, Liaoning) -- ??

News Analysis By Leo Odera Omolo. The recent proposal made by some senior politicians aligned to the Party of National Unity {PNU} has met with wholesale condemnation from Kenyans from all walks of life. A cross section of leaders and the ordinary Kenyan citizens interviewed have termed it as ?dangerous scheme hatched by PNU to continue perpetuating itself in power ?while a section of leaders from the vast Rift Valley Province Described the move as unacceptable and an attempt by minority parliamentary party to rescue itself from its seemingly inevitable disintegration before the 2012 general elections. .KANU a party which forms the amalgamation of dozens of smaller parties which forms the PNU is threatening to walk out of the shaky union. Narc-Kenya another partner is already out of the group following the resignation of its leader Ms Martha Karua from the coalition government. Her resignation in huff was followed by that of the party? secretary-general Danson Mungatana who also relinquished his post as an Assistant Minister in the coalition in solidarity with Ms.Karua a former Minister fo9r justice and Constitutional Affairs. However, two senior most KANU politicians have yet to make their stand known publicly. They are the national chairman Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, the deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance in the PNU-ODM coalition government, and the second national vice chairman of the party Prof.Sam K. Ongeri, who is the Minister for Education. But Ongeri too has a problem of grass roots support from his minority Kisii community whose majority members forms the bulks of ODM grass roots support in Nyanza Province. Out of ten parliamentary constituencies in the Gusii region KANU had won only one seat. And that is the Nyaribari Masaba constituency which Ongeri himself of had won narrowly after a grueling battle with the ODM aspirant.. But political pundits were quick in dismissing both Kenyatta and Ongeri as being insignificant due to the fact that both the two men lacked the grassroots support and backing of their communities. In this context Ongeri stands very little chance of wining the Abagusii votes for Mr.Kenyatta, though, in the last presidential lection the votes from Gusii region were shared on 50-50 between Raila Odinga and President Kibaki.. Kenyatta hails from the dominant Kikuyu tribe, community, which is known to be hostile to KANU.This has placed Kenyatta, who is also known to be nursing presidential ambition to an awkward position, which sooner or later may force him to abandon KANU and join other fellow politicians from the Central Kenya region. It is indeed an open secret that some PNU politicians are grooming Kenyatta to be their flag bearer in the next presidential election, while other are said to be giving half hearted backing to the Vice President and Minister for Home Affairs Stephen Kalonzo musyoka whose political star appear to be rapidly getting more deemed. This is because the Kikuyu voters are well known not to be comfortable in voting any other presidential candidate other than those of their own, It remains to be seen if Kalonzo Musyoka could be the first politician from outside to break the jinx.Other contenders for the highest office on the land include the Internal Security Minister Prof. George Saitoti and the Gichugu MP Martha Karua. Prof.Saitoti?s grass root support remains unclear as he is from the Maasai community in the Rift Valley whose majority members are firm supporters of ODM, while Karua star is on steady rise not only in Central Kenya but in other regions as well. She made a remarkable improvement when she walked out of Kibaki PNU government citing frustrations. Gender issues could also expected to favor the iron lady from Gichugu.. The man who is in control of KANU is Gideon Moi who has already registered his vehement opposition to the proposed plan to sub-divide the existing provinces and increase their numbers from 8 to 20.The favorite son of the retired President Daniel Arap Moi is currently enjoying the support of the party secretary general Nik Salat, who is also amformer Bomet MP. Uhuru relations with other KANU leaders is reportedly getting worse by days. Other KANU leaders accused the deputy Prime Minister of being more of a PNU than KANU. Salat like Gideon Moi is a son of a former Bomet politician the late Isaac Kipkorir Salat a former Assistant Minister who many years in the 1970s had acted s KANU power broker between the retired President Moi and the populous Kipsigis community. Both Moi and Salat are youthful politicians. They have of late been cress crossing the full length and width of the vast Rift Valley Province while drumming for their party? support and also explaining their reasons for opposing the sub-division of the Provinces.. Their sentiments were echoed by none, but the retired President Daniel Arap Moi himself in speech delivered in Nakuru Town last week He said the Provinces be left the way they are despite their sizes for the sake of national unity ?Why would one wants the Provinces to be divided? If this is done it will cause tribalism,? he said. The retired President who is arguably still a force to reckon ,especially in he Rift Valley politics said he was particularly opposed to the sub-division of the expansive Rift Valley Province, adding that the area was a cosmopolitan region. But the majority of its residents were the Kalennjins, Kikuyuand and the Luhyias.. The former President said he had no quarrels with the creation of new districts. He, however, wondered why some leaders were advocating the divisions of Provinces while the same was contained in the draft Constitution that was rejected in the referendum of 2005.. Moi said Kenya had just come out from the trying period of post election violence, adding that the current stability should be preserved.. Elsewhere the leader of the United Democratic MOVEMENT, Lt. General John Koech blamed the government plan of crating more new districts, arguing that some parts of the country lacked the resources of sustaining the new administrative. Gen Koech termed the move as the worse balkanization of the community. Some areas are task of developing the country.

"Of course. What may I do for you?" "Well, I bought an expensive electronic hair dryer that is well over the Customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?" "I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie." "With your honest face, Father, no one will question you." When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her. The official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?" "From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare." The official thought this answer strange, so asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?" "I have a marvelous little instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused." Roaring with laughter, the official said, "Go ahead, Father! Next!

Reports By Leo Odera Omolo In Kisumu Kenya is facing serious security challenges, which include external threats by r Terror groups and internal disruption of law and order by local militias group and the dreadful Mungiki sect are all posing danger to peace loving, therefore security personnel must remain on high state of alartne3ss in order to deal with these groups precisely. President Kibaki made these remarks when he addressed a mammoth crowd of people who attended this year?s 46th Madaraka Day anniversary celebrations in Nairobi. This date commemorates the day on which the country attained internal self rule government on June 1st 1963. The otherwise colorful celebrations had its other side of the coin, when a man was arrested by the Kenyan police for heckling and shouting while the President was reading the English version of his official speech. Introducing President Kibaki to the crowd the Prime Minister Raila Odinga assured Kenya that the grand coalition government was in hot pursuit of those involved in corruption practices and other economic crimes against the country. The government Mr..Odinga said would thrive to ensure the tall the Kenyan school going children get free education irrespective of their family grounds, and further assured the audience that the coalition government was on the right track in trying to solve the myriad of problems that are facing the country.. President Kibaki urged his countrymen to remain united behind their government so that they could all tackle myriads of problems and pangs of miseries facing the country. He told the security agents to fight and win the war against the organized crimes, which have become a real menace to the country?s peaceful development. Telling the police to deal precisely with the outlawed groups and militias.. Kenya today celebrated its 46th Madaraka Day come against the backdrop of disturbing news that Uganda marine policemen operating on Migingo Island have imposed a tax levy of Kshs 5,000 in every two weeks for all the fishermen operating around the disputed island in Lake Victoria. His is a clear indication that Kampala has no regards to the on going diplomatic overture made by Kenyan authorities aimed at having the matter resolved amicably.. Last week, Parliament in Nairobi passed a symbolic motion urging Presiedent Kibaki to restore th country?s sovereignty over the disputed Migingo Island in Lake Victoria and along the Kenya- Uganda border in Pokot.. Kenya celebrated its 46th Madaraka Day amid newspaper reports that the country is facing serious security problem along its external boundaries and at the same time internal insecurity caused by militia groups and members, of the dreaded Mungiki sect .The militias groups are operating mainly in parts of Central Province districts of Nyandarua,Kirinya and Nyeri, the home turf and backyard of President Mwai Kibaki. The Mungiki sect so far has massacred close to 50 people who died in cold blooded murder ,mostly in Krinyaga,Nyandaru and Nyerit.districts. In one night the group of Mungiki adherents were reported to have attacked the homes of people they suspected to be collab0orator with the security forces, or working in close contact with the militias and slaughtered 29 villages in one night in a night attack. The Mungiki, according information were revenging for their mown 15 people killed earlier in Kirinyaga district by the militias vigilantes. In the Kisii region of Nyanza Province, two vigilante groups existed. On group, which is know as ?Sungu ?Sungu apparently with the authority of the Provincials Administration has killed close to 100 people mainly elderly men and women under the guise of hunting for the people suspected to be connected with witches and criminal elements. The killing by the ?Sungu Sungu? vigilante groups are just as brutal like the Mungiki sect. The suspesct houses mare torched and turned into ashes, while the victims, at time are beheaded or burnt alive inside their huts, It involved up to 50 or more youths marauding during the we hours of the night. Two other vigilante groups called ?Chinkororo and Amachukma? are mainly operating like private armies for the local politicians and inmost cases offers security protections f0r politician, particularly the wealthy MPs. The two groups are rather insignificant because their non involvement n killings. At first the Sungu Sungu activities were sanctioned by the Provincial Administration and police authorities, which allow them to operate as community policing to supplement the work of the regular police in crime prone Gusii region before they turned executioners..and hired killers. In Kisumu City, there existed the most dreaded militia group called the Kondele Bagdad Bpys though all The vigilante militia group are banned according to the law, the Kondele Bagdad Boys are still visibly operational and time on hire by politicians to offer security services.. Last year the government was forced to deploy the services of the Kenya Army in the Mt. Elgon district in Western Province to bring down the harrowing spate of killings by the outlawed Sabaot Land Freedom Army in an operation code named or baptized ?Operation Okoa Maisha..the army only came.ln after the militias groups had killed more than 200 innocent people. .last week despite of the spirited opposition by the government benches Parliament passed a symbolic motion. Urging President Kibaki to restore the country sovereignty. The Mps obviously had in mind the reported incursion across the country?s national boundaries by agents of the neighboring countries.

URL: From ppa at africaonline.co.ke Tue Jun 2 04:34:00 2009 From: ppa at africaonline.co.ke (People For Peace) Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2009 08:34:00 -0000 Subject: [Jambo] Regional News Message-ID: Colleagues Home & Abroad Regional News FORMER SOUTH SUDAN CHILD SOLDIER TURNED AN ALTER BOY BY JOSEPH ADERO NGALA NIMULE-SUDAN JUNE 2, 2009 TAKE 6 Today south Sudan is celebrating a relatively a slow peace and many returnees are coming home carrying their chickens, goats, ship and few items from neighboring countries like Uganda, Congo and Kenya. But this is one story of a young boy (pictured below) who is barefoot and was of the Dinka community dumped during the war as child soldier and was left growing in war and lost his mind. His name is James Lado who has turned an alter boy in Nimule parish built in 2001 by St Patrick fathers, Leo Trainor and John Garry from Ireland. James Ladu posing for a photo outside the church shortly after morning mass/Photo by Fr Omolo AJ They both saw Lado as a small boy in a group of other children. Lado grew up near the church compound and fed by same food the priests were eating. He didn't have an identification sot it was very difficult to know whether he was Madi, the native of Nimule Parish. But by going through interview with some boys near the parish they told me "we suspected Lado to be Dinka boy he is tall and he does not speak our language, he does not laugh like us- Dinka are tall and are pastoralist and we Madi are farmers, "said one young boy named Andrew. St Patrick parish is parish situated on the border of Uganda and Sudan boarder to the north of Uganda and to the south of Sudan- most Madi people leave in both sides of the two countries. They speak the same language and marry from both sides. Madi are people who believes that the land can only be owned by the boys and not the girls- for the simple reason that the girls will be married to another home where their children inherit the wealth of their fathers. But to James Lado his life was simply to sleep in front of the church until father Joseph Mawa a Madi priest in-charge of Nimule parish. No one knows the parents and relatives of Lado. Everybody did not know what next-but many people came to a conclusion that Lado was not a native of Madi but a Dinka- since he cannot speak people assume he is a Dinka. His life is surrounded in St Patrick church compound he does not go out of the church. Father Mawa feeds him and he has turned to be an alter boy. He wakes up as earlier as six in the morning and rings the bell at 6:30 am every morning to alert Christians of seven o'clock mass. Ladu will then enter the church and sit quietly in the church and smiles to the coming worshippers- he then wears alter vestments and wait to match in front of the church as people stand to sing entrance song. For Ladu it is not a problem to walk barefoot. He assists the priest while giving Holy Communion. After the mass Ladu then walks out and then changes from his alter cloth to civilian. He has only a trouser and three T- shirts. The story of Ladu in Numule is like many stories that one comes across in this town in the southern town. Ladu is ever smiling in the mist of poverty- there are many children like him who have either joined the street. Most of them are the product of child soldiers that were dumped in Nimule from different parts of Sudan. Carolina Ayo, a mother who has been a refugee in Zaire and Uganda, an active member of the St Patrick church describes Ladu as a humble boy but there is nothing we can do but he needs some support that can enables him to own a plot of a house so that he ca n live a better life. Father Edward Dougherty Superior General of Maryknoll fathers and brothers and a former staff of People for Peace in Africa, in his recent article which appeared in May/June wrote about the mother's gift- he says when kids in my neighborhood in Philadelphia got into trouble with their parents, my mother would take them in, I would come home from school and she would say to me, "Billy Jones is here. Precisely this is what Fr Mawa has done to Ladu. According to the story Fr Edward's mother the kid would be staying with them a while as she watched over him, draw him out, and in due time, when tempers cooled, reunite him with his family. Father Edward's mothers' gifts of compassion and welcome were an inspiration to his vocation to the missionary priesthood. Her caring ways prepared him not only to share those same gifts in his mission in Tanzania in East Africa but also to recognize them in the people he served. Just like father Edwards's mother could talk to anyone, even complete strangers, James Ladu is no longer a stranger. He feels loved, not only by Fr Mawa, but the entire faithful of Nimule parish.

It will be flagged off by the DC Nairobi East District. This is an Initiative of Komarocks Community Development Network [http://kcdnkomarockswatch.blogspot.com] and the Youth of Komarock have come in a big way. They are helping out with the logistical arrangements and they will be the main drivers on this day. Visit our blogspot to see more of what we have done. Under the able leadership of Tony and Edu, I will just guide the process. All plans and execution will be in the able hands of you people; Kwani when do you want to lead? I am also excited at the prospects of having the sound system powered by Homeboyz. We are still in discussions and I know the best will come out of it. We must also support Homeboyz because it is also an enterprise powered by the youth for the youth. I am exploring if the Homeboyz can also bring their banners into this as co-sponsors. Let us mobilize big time for this day and show case the world that we believe in Peace, National Healing and Reconciliation. Our Theme will remain; ?Peace, National Healing and Reconciliation with a bias to the Kenyan Child.? Lastly, I must thank all the youth leaders who came to my office last Friday 22nd May. To all the 31 of you, it is your time. You represent a big force out there. We must all join hands and shape Kenya to what we want. We can afford to leave in Peace with all our neighbours. We can afford to champion National Healing and Reconciliation for a tribalism free Kenya. Yes, we can. It is our time, let us seize it. And forward this out to as many friends.

No doubt we have demonstrated, and rightly so, to the whole world that we don?t have the habit of governing ourselves well. 46 years is just too much time from whichever angle you look at it. It is for this reason that may be, just may be, today?s Madaraka day celebration seemed to me like a bad joke- Kindly note that I say "seemed" and of course i am not the measure of ?all things?. Could it be, good people, that its time we should be ashamed to celebrate this day? By the way, out of ignorance let me ask. What exactly were we are celebrating? Let me choose to hope it is not self governance that we were celebrating, but rather, the historical fact that madarak day once upon a time happened. By the which I suitable mode of celebration would be like guyz go to the stadi, and then we are shown a movie of how it all happened. or cheaper option, we televise everything from a special prepared VHF video. But going by what was being said, i think we were supposed to be celebrating something more. A few sobering questios. Should we be ashamed to celebrate ?self governance? to wit, Madaraka day, seeing that we are still using somebody else?s constitution? At time when Kenya has world acclaimed scholars? Could it be that to being part of the ?Common Wealth" is proof of partial independence- meaning no is no independence? is the united states once a british colony also part of the common wealth? but there i digress. Of course it?s easier to replace globalization with colonization. May be i should say that in my world, when i add 1+1 i dont understand what this madaraka is all about. we are forcing it. good people, see Baba Jimmy arrive in style escorted not just by a motorcade, but by guys who are ?jogging in suits?. Any mother would feel ?woie? for her son to see him jogging the whole "track in suit". I don?t think that its because this guys don?t mind the sweat. Of course i was suprised that in this in these days of equality, there was no lady jogging with the men. ama this equality is selective its me who is "behind". I speak as an ignorant one here because I don?t even know about JD, to wit, Job description he he he... As of the music, my inside was not sure whether it enjoyed the band or otherwise. Of course Baba Jimmy is a slow walker, to wit, he walks with irregular tempo. I would have no prolblem with that were it not that irregular walking means spoiling the music. I think man Toro did not inform mzee that when you walk between rows of soldiers in ceremonial clad, beat and rythym is crucial. Again i speak from foolishness - where from means withing foolishness itself. I optimistic that the band will ?wisen? up and play their songs in the jazz mode to accompany of such irregular tempo. Then my inside will be able to say that it enjoyed music. As food is to the body, so is music to the soul. Again, I suspect from the match past(e), we were able to demonstrate to all and sundry...where all and sundry includes; friends of kenya, enemies, to wit, one M7 and even the?enemy" in every friend of kenya. May be we succeeded in doing that or may be we showed our soft spot. Hopefully we demonstrated that that they should think twice provoking us lest we lest we annihilate them from the very face of the globe! "Wanjiku" is always amused and inspired by this vain show of might. Its helpful for the ruling elite to amuse people by such ?magnificent? magnanimous displays. Wow! The last time I used magnificent and magnanimous in the same sentence was in high school?and don?t ask me how that came to happen ?sorry for the digression. To continue with beating for you the story, me (myself) I personally don?t like sitting close to the dais because of the simple reason that I am unable to know what is running in the mind of this air boys. Again i speak from within ignorance. Who knows, with such discontent/disappointment all over, some F5 may "decide" to develop some mechanical problems - and head straight to the dais- apparently i also think there is no better place to crush...So me myself, I keep my distance. I also don?t know if those F5`s are the latest because it is a state of secret. What I know is that we are notorious for buying substandard army tracks, landrovers, mahindras e.t.c. And I think the pumas are very old. I have always seen a particular-and I still see it - since when I was a kid. Trust me on this one because in my fascination, I even mastered its number. If its like with the puma`s and trucks, "sembuse" hizi F5`s. May be I should ask our boy mutuks alias producer, actor, script writer, cameraman?and all those whether kweli huyu F5 ni the latest... So as not to sound like "hot air" and a mere ravist, may be i should mention that seated next to me a charming one with whom i was able to strike up a conversation. Let it be sufficient for you to know that i have not regretted that conversation. sometimes one asks whether there is a better thing for a man in this world than to engage save sensual delights... as fitful as they are? Its a question the wise man solomon himself asked. Its a valid question because the basic needs are bread, and once the stomach is full guess what next? May be, just may be, let me not comment on the Christian prayer, the Muslim prayer and whatever other prayer. I have noticed that this time I did not get to hear the Hindu prayer. I guess I was sufficiently distracted by the charming one. Its my personal wonder that all women think they know and - think that all men are weak. Where people get such certainities i dont know. Any way, I still I did not hear the hindu prayer much less understand it. Is it because business is now not ?bringing? in Kenya or what? by the way where are our kenyan indians except patni of course. By the way, what is it that Indians do in this country besides business, safari rally and bikes? Are they even in the military or wonder of all wonders? police force? He he he. Either way, there is a possiblity this days I am so pissed off with religious primates mostly because they contributed to Kenya burning by being partisan. And that is my problem i believe. Whichever way I look at it, I take it that a plurality of religious prayers at such a function underscores the fact that religion is a most useful tool in governing people, more so, simple folks who are ?not emancipated?. Let us not forget that emancipation in the final analysis is individual and that the masses are also best ruled (exploited) by appeal to religious sentiments. It seems a god is also a basic need. to wind up on prayer issues, it appears that we always have a Maasai elder praying because? it is (only) the Maasai who have elders that can pray. And of course there is something about tourism and maasai but let me not go there. No doubt this time people are winning and dinning in the state of house?and the gods having smiled on me at the stadia, I am dinning and almost winning the "sola magnanimous magnificent". This may mean that a majority who attend the ?celebration at the stadia?-were short changed because they celebrated but did not bash. Next time they should be told its a madaraka day meeting. At this time i know they are back to their cribs on empty stomachs and a psychological satisfaction that they ?were there?, no doubt their ignorance being their bliss. A few noble of us took the occasion to remember the unfortunate ones in our country. talk of visiting homes, IDps, (by the which i am one of them), and other such works of charity. An acquaintance has pointed out, and rightly so, that on this occasion at madaraka, there was an aspect that was not just "hot air". There was good and fresh talent- a reflection that the people of the republic have changed yet the constitution is not reflecting the change in the hearts of the people.

It is my hope that a broad minded lady will pick up my request and help me get a child.

(Romans 8:31, KJV) TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria So often when difficulties come, people tend to feel overwhelmed, unequipped, or outnumbered. They shrink back or look for an easy way out or a place to hide. But that's not God?s best for us. He never intended for us to be consumed by our challenges; He intends for us to overcome our challenges! If you?re facing a difficulty today, it?s time to dig your heels in, stand strong, and show the enemy what you?re made of! Remember, you aren?t alone in the fight; God is with you. He?s promised to never leave you nor forsake you. Just like the scripture says, if God is for you who can be against you? Friend, you and God are a majority. There?s no weapon, no enemy, no challenge, no disease, no failure, there?s nothing that can overtake you when God is on your side! I encourage you today; choose an attitude of faith and victory. Keep declaring His promises over your life. Be bold and stand strong because God promises that He has victory in store for the upright. As you keep that attitude of faith, you?ll rise above those difficulties and walk in the freedom He?s prepared for you! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness to me. Thank You for equipping me and filling me with Your joy, strength, and boldness. I choose to trust You, to stand on Your Word and look for the victory You have in store for me. In Jesus? Name. Amen.

Before seeing you my heart was a null set, but when a vector from your eyes at a deviation of theta radians made a tangent to my heart, it differentiated. My love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots, which only you can solve by making good binary relation with me. The cosine of my love for you extends to infinity. I promise that I will not resolve you into partial functions but if I do so, you can integrate me by applying the limits from zero to infinity. You are as essential to me as an element to a set. The geometry of my life revolves around your acute personality. My love, if you do not meet me at Parabola Restaurant on date 10 at sunset, when the sun is making an angle of 160 degrees to the ground, my heart would be like an unsolved polynomial equation of 10 degrees. With love from your higher order derivatives of maxima and minima, of an unknown function.

Kenya First Lady props women BY ANNE KIGUTA and PPS Update 2 hours and 18 minutes ago MOMBASA, Kenya, Jun 2 - First lady Lucy Kibaki has challenged women to be aggressive and seek top positions in the government. Mrs Kibaki asked women on Tuesday to remain united and speak with one voice ahead of the 2012 General Election. ''Let the 2012 general election be a lesson to men as they are used to using women as a stepping ladder to top positions in the country," she said. Speaking at a forum of Women Affairs Ministries from the Great Lakes region, she said: "I challenge women not to wait to be given top positions on a silver platter and instead they should aggressively fight for them." President Mwai Kibaki's administration declared a government policy of 30 percent affirmative action for women in the public sector, but the First Lady now says that "was not enough." "Go for 50 percent equal share in the government since there is nothing that men can do which women can't do in life." Mrs Kibaki said although the tenth Parliament has the largest number of women than ever before, there was need to have more of the fairer sex in the House. "You know which button to touch and you get what you want from men," she posed. She called for women's economic empowerment to eradicate gender violence saying economic dependency and insecurity were at the core of gender violence. "The effect of domestic violence is often severe and is indeed the leading cause of injury and death among women worldwide," Mrs Kibaki added. "Key measures that must be taken to empower women include ensuring the girl child has access to education (and) addressing social-cultural norms that discriminate against women," she said. The four-day Great Lakes workshop is a follow up meeting on the call organized by Social and Human Sciences sector [SHS] in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2005 in order to explore how best to promote the rights of women living in post conflict zones. The workshop has drawn participants from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan, Burundi, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Rwanda and Zambia.

The full length movie will be shown FREE at Kenya Community Church,?6625?Humbodt Ave N, Brooklyn Center, MN, 55430?on Saturday, June 6, 2009 at 6PM courtesy of Kenya Community Church in conjuction with Sub-Saharan Africa Family and Youth Services with sponsorship by the Minnesota Department of Health. ? Free refreshments will be provided. Please plan to attend this very informative family event. Bring your family and friends. Below is more information about the movie.?It narrates the story of a young?East African immigrant to the United States?who gets infected with HIV/AIDS and passes it on to his young pregnant?wife, also from East Africa. The ensuing devastation it causes to the then very successful young man and his family can only be best told by watching the movie. SYNOPSIS BY JOSIAH KIBIRA, MOVIE DIRECTOR Meet Bilantanya Moses Bakeyemba, a successful individual from Bongoland living in the United States. We enter his story in the middle of his years of plenty. He holds job as a senior marketing manager for a multinational corporation. He marries Salome, also a successful career woman from Bongoland. Soon they're expecting their first child. All is well until Bilantanya?s former girlfriend, who does not approve of his new wife, attempts to rekindle the fire. Bilantanya?s life spirals out of control. He learns he?s HIV positive and when his health deteriorates and he senses death is near, he must face everyone around him. He begs for forgiveness for his mistakes?selfishness, arrogance, infidelity and betrayal. Praying to God, he pleads for some way to make things right and for a chance to see his son born. As a part of the broader scope of Tusamehe, a sub-theme of the story draws attention to the grossly uneven spread of AIDS across the globe, a disparity that has left many people in developing countries helpless To make matters worse, many hold false assumptions about the people with HIV in these countries. They blame victims for making poor choices as if they have the power and resources to make any "choice," good or bad. ? "Tusamehe makosa yetu" - "Forgive us our trespasses" - a sad but informative account of the devastating effect of AIDS as experienced through one victim?s harrowing journey on a very narrow one way road. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While they were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker told the Husband "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150." The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home. The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?" The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead.

Message-ID: A young Southern boy goes off to college, but about 1/3 of the way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered away all of the money his parents gave him. Then he gets an idea. He calls his daddy. "Dad," he says, "you won't believe the wonders that modern education are coming up with! Why, they actually have a program here at college that will teach our dog Ole Blue how to talk!" "That's absolutely amazing," his father says. "How do I get him in that program?" "Just send him down here with $1,000" the boy says. "I'll get him into the course." So, his father sends the dog and the $1,000. About 2/3 way through the semester, the money runs out. The boy calls his father again. "So how's Ole Blue doing, son," his father asks. "Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this - they've had such good results with this program that they've implemented a new one to teach the animals how to READ!" "READ," says his father, "No kidding! What do I have to do to get him in that program? " Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class." His father sends the money. The boy now has a problem. At the end of the year, his father will find out that the dog can neither talk, nor read. So he shoots the dog. When he gets home at the end of the semester, his father is all excited. "Where's Ole Blue? I just can't wait to see him talk and read something!" "Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ole Blue was in the living room kicking back in the recliner, reading the morning paper, like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, ' So, is your daddy still messin' around with that little redhead who lives on Oak Street ?' The father says, "I hope you SHOT that son of a bitch before he talks to your Mother!" "I sure did, Dad!" "That's my boy!" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM. CHARGES ARE Ksh. 500 PER ADVERT.

To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Hi all, In regard on whether we trust these medics or not might not be the thing, what really matters is (incase a medical doctor is not able to deal with a particular disease let him or her ask for a second opinion from his/her colleague), that i believe is the best medical practice, that is why we have specialists in different (diseases), they went to school to specialize in different areas, but what i've come to realise is that some medics tend to feel superior (corect me if am wrong) or just the case of geting money from patients (this is wrong) I heard this last week, (that if you are dealing with a case n you cant seem to find a solution, get help, and do it at an early stage) early stage meaning like at least 3days but what i believe in (Uliza Ujibiwe) Health is so important (Second opinion is not bad, but never ever as a medic talk bad about the first opinion, until you get to know what transpired) Tru --- On Mon, 6/1/09, KAMAU TIRUS wrote: From: KAMAU TIRUS Subject: [YP_Ke] Re: Do You Trust Our Medical Practitioners? To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Date: Monday, June 1, 2009, 9:43 PM Hi Moses and all YP's I agree with Geoffrey Ngeno comments in regards to the 'state of our medical practitioners' and just like any other profession ?Fakes? do exist but the majority of our medics are well trained and experienced. Most medical malpractices happen in backstreet clinics where profit is the motivation. Most medical professionals value their reputation and name, as this is what sells them to new patients or bigger organizations/hospitals that are recruiting hence most will be thorougher in their work. So what really ails this fraternity ? Greed by some medics who want to make huge profits from their clients especially those seeking "illegal procedures/drugs" and second is the greed by some pharmaceutical companies that literally force 'some' doctors' to prescribe their drugs , and from the resent ongoing in the media most of this drugs are fake or substandard. This results in failed treatment To be frank the regulation of the medical fraternity is low or absent in most parts of the country each profession I.e. Doctors, Lab Techs, Nurses etc have their own regulatory body, which are poorly coordinated resulting to the mushrooming of clinics in estates and especially in the rural areas manned by unqualified medics and you can guess the result.... The best advice would be to identify and maintain one or two doctors and/or medical facility that you trust and can afford through reference or acquittance as your first stop when you fall sick and let them refer you to a specialist when need be and before agreeing to any major medical procedure or treatment seek a second opinion always!! Moses hope i have helped shade some light on your question and 'Pole' for the delay and still waiting for your article!!

Please share it with everyone you know and particularly those you care about. New Kind of Breast Cancer New kind of Breast Cancer - DO NOT DELETE Please forward to all of the women in your lives .. Mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, friends, etc. In November, a rare kind of breast cancer was found. A lady developed a rash on her breast, similar to that of young mothers who are nursing. Because her mammogram had been clear, the doctor treated her with antibiotics for infections. After 2 rounds, it continued to get worse, so her doctor sent her for another mammogram. This time it showed a mass. A biopsy found a fast growing malignancy. Chemo was started in order to shrink the growth; then a mastectomy was performed; then a full round of Chemo; then radiation. After about 9 months of intense treatment, she was given a clean bill of health. She had one year of living each day to its fullest. Then the cancer returned to the liver area. She took 4 treatments and decided that she wanted quality of life, not the after effects of Chemo. She had 5 great months and she planned each detail of the final days. After a few days of needing morphine, she died. She left this message to be delivered to women everywhere: Women, PLEASE be alert to anything that is not normal, and be persistent in getting help as soon as possible. Paget's Disease: This is a rare form of breast cancer, and is on the outside of the breast, on the nipple and aureole It appeared as a rash, which later became a lesion with a crusty outer edge. I would not have ever suspected it to be breast cancer but it was. My nipple never seemed any different to me, but the rash bothered me, so I went to the doctor for that. Sometimes, it itched and was sore, but other than that it didn't bother me. It was just ugly and a nuisance, and could not be cleared up with all the creams prescribed by my doctor and dermatologist for the dermatitis on my eyes just prio r t o this outbreak. They seemed a little concerned but did not warn me it could be cancerous. Now, I suspect not many women out there know a lesion or rash on the nipple or aureole can be breast cancer. (Mine started out as a single red pimple on the aureole. One of the biggest problems with Paget's di sease of the nipple is that the symptoms appear to be harmless. It is frequently thought to be a skin inflammation or infection, leading to unfortunate delays in detection and care.) What are the symptoms? 1. A persistent redness, oozing, and crusting of your nipple causing it to itch and burn (As I stated, mine did not itch or burn much, and had no oozing I was aware of, but it did have a crust along the outer edge on one side.) 2. A sore on your nipple tha t will not heal. (Mine was on the aureole a rea with a whitish thick looking area in center of nipple). 3. Usually only one nipple is effected. How is it diagnosed? Your doctor will do a physical exam and should suggest having a mammogram of both breasts, done immediately. Ev en though the redness, oozing and crusting closely resemble dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), your doctor should suspect cancer if the sore is only on one breast. Your doctor should order a biopsy of your sore to confirm what is going on. This message should be taken seriously and passed on to as many of your relatives and friends as possible; it could save someone's life. My breast cancer has spread and metastasized to my bones after receiving mega doses of chemotherapy, 28 treatments of radiation and taking Tamaxofin. If this had been diagnosed as breast cancer in the beginning, perhap s it would not have spread... TO ALL READERS: This is sad as women are not aware of Paget's disease. If, by passing this around on the e-mail, we can make others aware of it and its potential danger, we are helping women everywhere. Please, if you can, take a moment to forward this message to as many people as possible, especially to your family and friends. It only takes a moment, yet the results could save a life. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Let's leave that for another day H i please read on... A weapon called silence Ladies please let's be honest can you really do what this woman did??? It's a sad world out there imagine when this happens to you.... Have you Ever thought of what you would do if you found your Husband, fianc?, boyfriend, red-handed cheating on you? Worse still, in your own bedroom? Have you ever thought of what would? Happen? These things aren't only read on papers, they are real. They Happen to real women. Answer this question to yourself sincerely. Would you go for that kitchen? Knife, pack your stuff, or hire those thugs that do justice to other men. You might be surprised at how you react to this......... Read on Gals... A weapon called silence by Mildred Ngesa I felt it the moment I turned the knob. The door was unlocked, but that was not unusual especially because his car Was in the parking bay, where it usually parked, when he's at home. What I felt was a knot forming in the pit of my stomach - the kind of Feeling you get When you hear movements in the house when you know you are alone in the Small hours of the night. Every second Friday of the month, I travel to Kampala to collect Fabric For my vintage business in the city. On this particular Friday, I left home at dusk as usual, heading for the city centre to catch the 8 pm Akamba bus bound for Kampala. We waited for three hours and then it was announced that the buses had Been cancelled due to a technical hitch. With nothing else to do in town, I went back home. The lights downstairs Were on and so was the music. The English Premier League was showing on TV, so why wasn't my husband, a die-hard Arsenal fan, watching the game? Sometimes a woman's instincts can be so sharp that she can smell last Year's perfume on the shirt of her philandering man. My instincts were on Edge. Even though there was no actual perfume in the air. In fact, there was Nothing really that I could put my finger on. Just this odour of violation that ripped my senses like nothing I had ever Felt before. Perhaps this feeling is what kept me from calling out to my husband. And it stayed with me even as I tip-toed upstairs, heading for the master Bedroom. Nothing prepares you for anything like this. They had not even Bothered to shut the door. I simply walked in and there they were, my Husband and this woman, naked save for my purple flowered bed-sheets Partly covering their entwined bodies. It took me a moment to realize the high-pitched cry that cut through the Night was coming from me. The bewildered pair scrambled to cover their nakedness and stared at me Blankly. They said nothing. My heart was beating so loud I could almost hear its echo in the next Room. Trust is a fragile emotion. Like glass breaking, it can be shattered in an Instant, never to be wholly recovered again. In that instant, my trust for This man was lost. "Why don't I go downstairs and make you some tea?" Did I just say that? I had just walked in on my husband and another woman, And all I could do was offering them some tea! I slowly made my way back Downstairs. In the kitchen, I switched to auto-pilot, fetching a packet of milk from The fridge, lighting the cooker, placing a pan of water on to boil, Bending to remove mugs and the flask. All the while, my mind was abuzz, Humming a tune I did not recognize. This must be how zombies feel. It went on and on; the tune seemed to imply That I ought to be in control, that I ought to keep breathing so that I May stay sane. The tea was ready and placed on the table. Three bright blue mugs sat Neatly on light blue place mats. I waited for the "guests" to comedown as I sat motionless, staring sightlessly at the television. They came down my husband first, dragging his feet like a pris oner Counting his final steps to the gallows. He sat on the love seat - the two-seater on which he had cuddled and Kissed me passionately just the night before. She followed, hesitating for a moment near the same seat before moving to The furthest corner of the room, near the door, a safe distance from me. I began talking as I poured tea into the cups. I rattled on and on about The transport crisis and the difficulties of traveling at a time like This. But instead of reaching for a cup, the woman stood up abruptly and headed For the door. For a brief moment, our eyes met. She was not young. In fact, she appeared Quite mature, maybe even married. I heard the gate open. My husband was still rooted to the spot. "Why don't you see your visitor off?" I prodded gently. He didn't move. I sighed and started talking about the African Cup of Nations Championship And how sad it was that Kenyahad lost to Burkina Faso When he did not respond, I yawned loudly, said goodnight and went to bed. Sleep evaded me like the mosquitoes that buzz through out the night. My husband did not come to bed with me - he opted for the couch. By the Break of dawn I had painted my mind red with all sorts of possible Revenge, thinking of the ultimate pain to inflict on him for the anguish He has caused me. But my heart grew haggard on the prospect of a physical Confrontation. I was going to fight this war my own way and at my own pace. Last night marked the beginning of a cold war, not confrontation. I have Heard of, and even seen, women go after "the other woman" with a panga..." But my reasoning was, this woman was not the only player here. My husband Probably seduced her. Other women go so far as to attack their husbands, But then again, I thought: If a man is fed up with me, he will let me Know. If he wants to have an affair, that is his business. Strange, I know, but silence was my weapon - and a very vicious weapon it Was. As far as I was concerned, that was the end of it. I went about my business as usual and did not say or do anything that Would suggest it had actually happened. Two weeks later, I was waking up And was surprised to find my husband sitting at the foot of the bed, Sobbing deeply. "I am sorry... so sorry. Please forgive me, please, just say something, Don't shut me out, just say something..." I looked at him calmly, my heart Frozen. My face showed feigned surprise and innocence. "What are you talking about? Sorry for what?" He sobbed even louder, sinking to his knees, his head Buried in his hands. "Say something... shouts, scream, anything, but please Don't be silent. It's killing me, please, I'll tell you everything..." I smiled. It was the Smile of a woman who has just tricked the devil into getting down on his Knees and praying. It was the smile of a woman who had won. I had left my peace with God and He will deal with them in Time. At the end I remained the Lady he had married, and the other women was Just another lesson for me that made me the better person I am today. Send this to all the women and men you know!!!!!!

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it: - *EMERGENCY I* * The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112 .* If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. **Try it out.** *EMERGENCY *II* * Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys?* This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"* *EMERGENCY III* Subject: Hidden Battery power Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important call and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time. AND *EMERGENCY IV* How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

While struggling to get a solution other problems sets in KQ will have to fight for space with Delta Airlines Is KQ well positioned to compete with Delta Airlines? The coming event AGOA could be the in thing African Growth Opportunities in America I hope I got the name correct if not sorry- AGOAs event that is in offing in August 2009 in Kenya This might have helped Delta Airlines to launch direct services to Kenya Hence this makes a good strategy I believe Delta Airlines could have many, many months ago or years ago planned for this event that Kenya will be hosting. Hence launching its services to Kenya just in time Now will KQ really make an impact? the answers, I don?t have maybe business competition will offer a better solution. There have been nothing much to say when many of our small, medium, even some bigger enterprises are pushed out of the market, forced to fold or swallowed by transnational corporations because their performances are ?below average? in comparison to speculation If Delta Airlines has come to Kenya to speculate then as a country which shall suffer in long last when KQ will find going hard and decided to fold up or get swallowed Both Delta Airlines and Kenya Airways will be forced to share either losses or profits in Airline business. Hence soon we shall be hearing news such as KQ is right-sizing just to hide words such as KQ is sacking staff, reducing expenses When I recall yesteryear the public sector, which has historically been defined as a sector of not-for-profit economy and administration, is ?slimmed? and its ?profitable? parts (?gems?) handed to corporations (?privatized?). As a consequence, social services that are necessary for our existence disappear. And instead we have to pay for it Recently my grandmother was shocked when she came to Nairobi to find that even going to Nairobi City Council Toilets you have to pay Ksh10 The alleged correlation between economic growth and secure employment is false. So I kindly ask good people When capitalism becomes cannibalism where do the people run to? -- Talk to me at +254-0722825417 and 020-2454278 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Message-ID: <913075.3587.qm@web51712.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Dear fellow Kenyans, ? Domestic Workers? rights ??10 Questions on whether you are an oppressive employer ? There are these people in our society collectively called domestic workers but that our personal interaction with defines or ascribes different names to. They are the occasional laundry or cleaning lady, the house-worker, the driver, the gardener, the children?s nanny, the caregiver for the aged, sick, frail or disabled in your house or home. ? Have you ever given these lot any thought beyond the point of hire, on pay day, when something is amiss or the point when you fire them? Wouldn?t you agree that bearing in mind how very important they are to the workings and success of your daily life, much more thought should be devoted to them? ? I would like to ask you some pointed questions: ? 1.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers are workers in their own right just like you, a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, etc? ? 2.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers are protected by Kenyan labour laws and that as an employer you are liable to fines for violation of any of these laws? ? 3.???????????? Do you know that most domestic workers in Nairobi are paid peanuts, around K.Shs. 3,000/- and yet like all of us, they have families and dependants that they support with the peanut salary you give them? ? 4.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers in Nairobi are entitled to a minimum wage of not less than K.Shs. 6,606/- and other benefits such as 16% house allowance? ? 5.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers suffer human rights abuse and violations such as poor pay, denial of food, long and undefined working hours, lack of medical attention, discrimination, sexual violation, no rest days, no annual leave etc? ? 6.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers can hurt you or your child because of anger, bitterness or frustrations stemming from not feeling appreciated, not being paid well etc? ? 7.???????????? Do you know that if you were a domestic worker you would want to be treated better than you do your own? ? 8.???????????? Do you know that if the terms and conditions of your own employment were as vague and ambiguous as they are for your domestic worker, you would demand a written contract, complain bitterly against your employer, and threaten to strike, go on a go-slow or even leave for another job at the first opportunity? ? 9.???????????? Do you know that your domestic workers would equally appreciate a bonus and/or a salary raise at the end of the year and would also want to exploit opportunities for self-improvement and eventually achieve self-employment? ? ? 10.???????? Do you care to begin today treating your domestic workers with human dignity? ? We can break intergenerational poverty cycle by among others paying well our domestic workers. ? Shall you consider? ?

Message-ID: <634494.21679.qm@web37003.mail.mud.yahoo.com> The Government finally accepted?the verdict on Kenya by the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Philip Alston on extrajudicial killings in Geneva following different perspectives by the coalition partners. ? This is despite the fact that one side of the Coalition Government was actually arm twisted into accepting the obvious. ? Why is it that a certain section of government is always hellbent on denying that there are?human rights abuses in Kenya,?corruption in government,tribalism in government appointments,a tribally inclined?civil service,a need to reform institutions like the police force, judiciary and our constitution? ? Can the country surely move forward with all these denials? If both sides of the devide are in the same government, why does one side rubbish such a report? Is it because they are the perpetrators of the same or wish to maintain the status quo or do not want to reform our institutions and constitution? ? I am still baffled at the harm such an admission causes one side and not the other of the same government!!!! ? There seems to be people in this government who will never move us an inch forward from where we were in December 2007. ? Otieno Sungu.

America the Kenyans are here to stay. Love us hate us we shall be moving into a position near you. Dr. Joe Mwangi Symmon is vying for the California Gov?s seat. Move over Arnold! Dr. Mwangi is a proven path-finder with quite a CV stretching from back home where he founded Abarn Homes in 1977, a realty company and worked there until 1982, before, founding Panken Insurance, an underwriting firm where he worked until 1982. His political dalliance begun in 1979. While attending graduate school, he was elected President of the student movement in 1984. Born and bred in Murang'a, Kenya, Dr. Mwangi reckons his defining moment in life was on June 10, 1973 when he became a Christian and then marrying wife Dr. Alycejo in 1976, with whom they have three children. This is his story; and his vision for the people of California; California Governor - 2010. My name is Joe Symmon and I am running for Governor of California. I am a moral voice of change, hope and destined for greatness. What is critical to human progress is vision ? seeing a future that is achievable and worth attaining.? ?Without a vision and sound judgment, people perish?. California?s political change is long overdue. And this is our moment to bring that change, to restore hope and reclaim our Golden state for ourselves and our emerging generations. When I am Governor, I will deal with issues affecting us today with high integrity, wisdom and leading boldly by example. Our economy will thrive, our schools and teachers will excel, and our universal health care and environmental systems will work. Static and status quo style of leadership in Sacramento will go. It is time to break the cycle of failed policies and politics. I am a visionary endowed with freshness and new ideologies. The issues that unite us are far greater than issues that divide us. As Governor I will pursue and implement these issues: Integrity The Governor will lead by example. The way I carry myself in private will be how I will treat others. Asserting the Golden rule at all decision making process. The immediate result of following the Golden Rule is that I will be treating other people very, very well. "And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them." I have personally practiced this rule since my debut into politics in 1979 and during my tenure as a Graduate student president in 1984. Moral, virtue and family values I am married to one wife for 33 years. We have raised three biological kids and are now raising almost 200 orphans with a full-time staff of over thirty. We provide them with a home, food, education, clothing, health care. By so doing, we have ignited an unstoppable hope and destiny. Giving them an opportunity for better and responsible citizenry. A Governor ought to rule his house well before he can aspire for public office, and this I have done. Solomon said ?when the righteous rule, people rejoice and when the wicked are in authority, people mourn? This is our time to turn the page. Economy Ending economic instability requires a true break with the status quo. It will not happen in the course of ?business as usual.? My plan is to unite the leaders in Sacramento so that we can have a simple majority rule to pass the budget. Partisanship politics will be a thing of the past. I have no intention to raise taxes. My giving back plan will be rolled out in my first 100 days. California will attract businesses that migrated in the past to return, and existing businesses shall perform better. This will boost the creation of new jobs. Education Our high institutions of learning should be well equipped to carry out research that will advance modern technological and social changes in every sector of learning. We?re experiencing cutbacks in almost every department and eventually affecting teaching profession and trickling down to students? performance. As Governor, I will employ a team of technocrats and professionals to change the system. Teachers should be paid well and every effort made to motivate and retain them on the job. College students should have sufficient grants to keep them focused more in their studies rather than have them work two or three jobs. Many have snoozed and died on the wheel working multiple shifts. Environment We should harness the sun and the wind to produce sufficient energy to run our vehicles and industries. And we have plenty of both here in our golden state. We should reserve and recycle all that water that runs to the Pacific from rainfall and our snow-capped mountains and utilize it to run our technology. Southern California fire season can be a thing of the past if we can use this water to plant trees that will in turn bring rainfalls to change our dry landscape into forests and run arsonists out of business. Health Every citizen should have access to affordable and reliable health care. I will guarantee affordable, accessible health care coverage for all Californians. More so for our senior citizens should enjoy their golden years in our golden state peacefully. I wholeheartedly support and would adopt Obama health-care plan. Immigration To solve the challenges we are facing in California on immigration issues, I will pursue genuine solutions daily. I will be committed to ensure that immigrants are accorded the same respect and legal status like every one who have come here to seek an opportunity to better their lives. And quoting President Obama ?they have come here for the same reason that families have always come here--for the hope that in America, they could build a better life for themselves and their families.? Legal residency for all immigrants shall be my priority. My sincere Appeal: Your Prayers first, financial support, Your Vote, mobilizing others to vote for the moral voice of Change, a Voice of Hope - Our Destiny to Greatness. A win for Dr. Symmon is a win for us all. Thank you for your support.? In 1983, I did undergraduate studies and majored in intercultural studies at Life Pacific College, Los Angeles, California. I proceeded to do graduate studies in Intercultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena CA. My doctorate is from SBT-University and Seminary. In 1987 I founded Believers Faith Church. There are currently seven growing congregations. In 2001, my wife and I bought a 20 acre land to build Jubilee Children Center. We have transformed almost 200 lives of orphaned children who were roaming in the streets and slums, scavenging for food. We ignited hope, unshakeable foundation and an unstoppable stride to their destiny. A self-esteem and confidence to believe in themselves and that all things are possible. We have also founded Child of Destiny a (501 c 3) charity and Women in Pursuit of Empowerment (W.I.P.E.) to break the cycle of poverty and eradicate suffering in the lives of voiceless and marginalized kids and families around the globe. In the last six years, Jubilee Children Center has a fully accredited elementary school and administration center. The first phase of High school construction comprising of dormitories, computer and science laboratories were completed last spring, 2009. Construction of a clinic, that will include, an out-patient, HIV/AIDS testing, mammogram and maternity wing, a multi-purpose hall and a guest house are all halfway built and progressing well. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Among the five were two journalists. Two of the accused pleaded guilty to the charges and were each fined Kshs 10,000 or to serve six months in jail in default. The three accused person who pleaded not guilty were released on cash bail of Kshs 10,000 or personal bond of Kshs 50,000 plus sureties of the same amount. Their cases will be heard on July 15,2009. The accused journalists were Eric Orina, who is the Secretary General of the Kenya Union of Journalists and a photojournalist Boniface Mwangi. Others accused persons were Benson Omondi,Phillip Osongo and Moses Oloo..The two Omondi and Osongo admitted the offence and were fined Kshs 10,000 each or six months imprisonment in default. Oloo was freed on bail terms similar to the one given to journalists. The five faces the charges that on June 1st, 2009 at the Nyayo National Stadium, they disrupted the Presidential speech by shouting ?Unga unga? and ?Ushuru Ushuru? in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace. By shouting those words, it could be loosely translated that they accused persons were protesting against the high prices of maize flour meals, which is the staple food for many Kenyans household. And Ushuru was a protest against high taxation. The accused appeared before Kibera resident magistrate Margaret Kasera. Prosecution case was led by Chief Inspector Musyoka who told the court that he accused had created disturbances by shouting ?Unga Unga and Ushuru Ushuru in the course of Presidential address during the Madaraka Day celebrations. Orina, Mwangi and Oloo were represented by a prominent Kenyan lawyer Poul K. Muite, while Phillip Osongo,Benson Omondi and Oloo Mwinga were unrepresented. Earlier the journalists had complained through their lawyer Poul Muite alleging that they were beaten up savagely by the presidential guards during the course of their arrests. They said their please with the police to be taken to hospital for treatment were ignored until the next morning when they were taken to the Kenyatta National Hospital where they were eventually treated for their injuries and discharged.. The journalists wear blood drenched shirts in court as the charged against them was read. This year?s celebration witnessed the tight security around the stadium. Security personnel had left nothing to chance in preventing disruptions of the historical celebrations. Some dignitaries were turned away for failing to produce their national identity cards. The4 VIP dais at Nyayo National Stadium had many empty seats because of the vetting at the entrances. Those without official invitation cards and as well as identity cards were locked out. Journalists also went through the same drill. Former Mau Mau freedom fighters who usually sit at the VIP dais led by widows of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and the late Dedan KJimathi were also missing. The public also got into the stadium in queues after being vetted by security agents who were everywhere. This seemed to be a lesson from a December 12, 2008,incident when President Kibaki was forced to cut short his Jamhuri Day speech. Huma rights activist Fred Odhiambo hadmanaged to access the VIP dais and startd heckling the President?s speech.

Read this email to the end; you'll love it!! The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US Railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did "they" use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. And bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what horse's ass came up with it, you may be exactly right, because the Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war horses. Now, the twist to the story When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory at Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. - And - You thought being a HORSE'S ASS wasn't important! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Kenyan eyes California Governor?s seat By topi lyambila Dr. Joe Mwangi Symmons - California Governor 2010. If they thought Obama was the Omega then they are in for a thumbing! America the Kenyans are here to stay. Love us hate us we shall be moving into a position near you. Dr. Joe Mwangi Symmon is vying for the California Gov?s seat. Move over Arnold! Dr. Mwangi is a proven path-finder with quite a CV stretching from back home where he founded Abarn Homes in 1977, a realty company and worked there until 1982, before, founding Panken Insurance, an underwriting firm where he worked until 1982. His political dalliance begun in 1979. While attending graduate school, he was elected President of the student movement in 1984. Born and bred in Murang'a, Kenya, Dr. Mwangi reckons his defining moment in life was on June 10, 1973 when he became a Christian and then marrying wife Dr. Alycejo in 1976, with whom they have three children. This is his story; and his vision for the people of California; California Governor - 2010. My name is Joe Symmon and I am running for Governor of California. I am a moral voice of change, hope and destined for greatness. What is critical to human progress is vision ? seeing a future that is achievable and worth attaining.? ?Without a vision and sound judgment, people perish?. California?s political change is long overdue. And this is our moment to bring that change, to restore hope and reclaim our Golden state for ourselves and our emerging generations. When I am Governor, I will deal with issues affecting us today with high integrity, wisdom and leading boldly by example. Our economy will thrive, our schools and teachers will excel, and our universal health care and environmental systems will work. Static and status quo style of leadership in Sacramento will go. It is time to break the cycle of failed policies and politics. I am a visionary endowed with freshness and new ideologies. The issues that unite us are far greater than issues that divide us. As Governor I will pursue and implement these issues: Integrity The Governor will lead by example. The way I carry myself in private will be how I will treat others. Asserting the Golden rule at all decision making process. The immediate result of following the Golden Rule is that I will be treating other people very, very well. "And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them." I have personally practiced this rule since my debut into politics in 1979 and during my tenure as a Graduate student president in 1984. Moral, virtue and family values I am married to one wife for 33 years. We have raised three biological kids and are now raising almost 200 orphans with a full-time staff of over thirty. We provide them with a home, food, education, clothing, health care. By so doing, we have ignited an unstoppable hope and destiny. Giving them an opportunity for better and responsible citizenry. A Governor ought to rule his house well before he can aspire for public office, and this I have done. Solomon said ?when the righteous rule, people rejoice and when the wicked are in authority, people mourn? This is our time to turn the page. Economy Ending economic instability requires a true break with the status quo. It will not happen in the course of ?business as usual.? My plan is to unite the leaders in Sacramento so that we can have a simple majority rule to pass the budget. Partisanship politics will be a thing of the past. I have no intention to raise taxes. My giving back plan will be rolled out in my first 100 days. California will attract businesses that migrated in the past to return, and existing businesses shall perform better. This will boost the creation of new jobs. Education Our high institutions of learning should be well equipped to carry out research that will advance modern technological and social changes in every sector of learning. We?re experiencing cutbacks in almost every department and eventually affecting teaching profession and trickling down to students? performance. As Governor, I will employ a team of technocrats and professionals to change the system. Teachers should be paid well and every effort made to motivate and retain them on the job. College students should have sufficient grants to keep them focused more in their studies rather than have them work two or three jobs. Many have snoozed and died on the wheel working multiple shifts. Environment We should harness the sun and the wind to produce sufficient energy to run our vehicles and industries. And we have plenty of both here in our golden state. We should reserve and recycle all that water that runs to the Pacific from rainfall and our snow-capped mountains and utilize it to run our technology. Southern California fire season can be a thing of the past if we can use this water to plant trees that will in turn bring rainfalls to change our dry landscape into forests and run arsonists out of business. Health Every citizen should have access to affordable and reliable health care. I will guarantee affordable, accessible health care coverage for all Californians. More so for our senior citizens should enjoy their golden years in our golden state peacefully. I wholeheartedly support and would adopt Obama health-care plan. Immigration To solve the challenges we are facing in California on immigration issues, I will pursue genuine solutions daily. I will be committed to ensure that immigrants are accorded the same respect and legal status like every one who have come here to seek an opportunity to better their lives. And quoting President Obama ?they have come here for the same reason that families have always come here--for the hope that in America, they could build a better life for themselves and their families.? Legal residency for all immigrants shall be my priority. My sincere Appeal: Your Prayers first, financial support, Your Vote, mobilizing others to vote for the moral voice of Change, a Voice of Hope - Our Destiny to Greatness. A win for Dr. Symmon is a win for us all. Thank you for your support.? In 1983, I did undergraduate studies and majored in intercultural studies at Life Pacific College, Los Angeles, California. I proceeded to do graduate studies in Intercultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena CA. My doctorate is from SBT-University and Seminary. In 1987 I founded Believers Faith Church. There are currently seven growing congregations. In 2001, my wife and I bought a 20 acre land to build Jubilee Children Center. We have transformed almost 200 lives of orphaned children who were roaming in the streets and slums, scavenging for food. We ignited hope, unshakeable foundation and an unstoppable stride to their destiny. A self-esteem and confidence to believe in themselves and that all things are possible. We have also founded Child of Destiny a (501 c 3) charity and Women in Pursuit of Empowerment (W.I.P.E.) to break the cycle of poverty and eradicate suffering in the lives of voiceless and marginalized kids and families around the globe. In the last six years, Jubilee Children Center has a fully accredited elementary school and administration center. The first phase of High school construction comprising of dormitories, computer and science laboratories were completed last spring, 2009. Construction of a clinic, that will include, an out-patient, HIV/AIDS testing, mammogram and maternity wing, a multi-purpose hall and a guest house are all halfway built and progressing well. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Writes Leo Odera Omolo KENYA is ranked 113 in the Global Peace index {GPI},which ranks countries from the most peaceful to th dangerous in the world. Of the 144 countries entered, New Zealand tops the list of the most peaceful country in the world. At the bottom is Iraq. Kenya, according to the repot, has moved a mere four places from last year and this is attributed to? ?low number of deaths from organized conflict?, the GPI report says. In Africa, Kenya is ranked 13tyof 31 countries, with Botswana listed the most peaceful nation in the continent followed by Malawi,Gabon,Ghana,Mozambique Zambia and Tanzania. Zimbabwe, democratic Republic of Congo,Sudan and Somalia are rate the most dangerous places in Africa. Somalia is ranked 142nd in the world, only safer than Afghanistan and Iraq. Madagascar has fallen the most [30 places}, thanks to political instability and violent demonstrations. Bosnia Herzegovina rose most, up 23 places from 73 position last years .Iraq has shown no improvement for three years in a raw. ? Also released for public consumption with the CPI is a groundbreaking study on the economic impact of violence. The study estimates the loss to global GDP as at USD 4.8 billion a year. The study has confirmed that peace is a significant factor in the creation of wealth. Icealand is a prime example of the link between economic strength and peace. Last year, it topped the index, but has fallen to fourth place following the collapse of her financial system. The GPI, now in its third year, is compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit. The compilers use 23 indicators, which measure internal and external peace among nations of the world. The GPI has won the backing of distinguished individuals, including Nobel Peace winners Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa,Prof.Joseph Stiglitz and former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. . Others are businessmen Mark Moody-Stuart and Richard Branson. GPI, founded by Steve Killeien, an Australian international technology entrepreneur and philanthropist, is part of the Institute for Economics and Peace, a new global think tank dedicated to research and education in the relationship between economics, business and peace. Meanwhile a Kenyan delegation is currently visiting the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa to pr4esentthe country following reports that Ethiopia is constructing a dam at River Omo that is feeding the important Lake Turkana with its waters. The construction of the dam is feared, could easily dry-up the lake. The importance of Lake Turkana to thousands of northwestern Kenya residents should be thought of as smaller version of River Nile?s significance to Egypt and the Sudan.This move has prompted the residents of Lodwar in Turkana toask whether would any country dare mess about with the Nile waters without inviting Egypt;s ire?. The water levels at the Lake Turkana has been going down and the GILGEL Gibe hydroelectric dam 111 across River Omo since the Ethiopians constructed there. . On its Eastern frontier, Kenya and the war-torn Somalia have locked horns over a large swathe of territory in the Indian Ocean, almost in the same fashion like its row with Uganda over the disputed Migingo island in Lake e Victoria . The controversy emerged as the two countries submitted maps to the UN showing the extent of their maritime frontiers as recommended by the UN convention on the law of the Sea. Like much of Kenyan borders, the boundary between Kenya and Somalia in the Indian Ocean has not been officially demarcated yet. The lasted reported disagreement hints at future boundary disputes as Kenya prepares to start demarcating land and sea borders. Only the Kenya-Ethiopia boundary has been demarcated fully. The maritime maps submitted by Kenya and Somalia to the UN includes the vast sea territory that both countries claim, stretching for 350 km at wildest point. Kenya submitted mps on May 6, 2009 and Somalia on May 13.The UN is expected to make a binding decision in September. But the decision will only affect the outer limits of territorial waters, which both countries seek to extend T will be up to Kenya and Somalia maritime officials to determine where the dividing line between the two countries lies, opening a potential flash point like the one in Migingo Island claimed by Uganda and Kenya.. An agreement on the maritime border between the two countries reads in parts? The delimitation of the continental shelf between the Republic of Kenya and the Somalia Republic has not yet been settled. This unresolved delimitation is to be considered a maritime dispute. ? But Kenya?s Foreign Affairs Minister Moses Wetangul yesterday denied there was a dispute between the two countries.?There is no dispute whatsoever between us and Somalia. The MOU was signed in good faith in the interest of both countries, the Minister said while meeting with the visiting Somalia Prime minister Omar Ali Sharmake.

Message-ID: <8492F2242D21A2419B9C0AA8DA9B8E7B266B45@mailserver.salafrica.com> --- Hi, Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars. "What?" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!" So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill." The man sent a bill that read: Tapping with a hammer $2.00 Knowing where to tap $9998.00 Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.

Message-ID: <8492F2242D21A2419B9C0AA8DA9B8E7B266B40@mailserver.salafrica.com> Who invented "CTRL + ALT + DEL"? Have you ever thought of the person who invented "CTRL + ALT + DEL" key combination? "David Bradley" -- He is the One who spent 1 minute and 23 seconds in writing the source code that rescues the world's PC users for decades. This extraordinary IBM employee is retiring on Friday after a prolong service of 29 years. His formula forces obstinate computers to restart when they no longer follow other commands. By 1980, Bradley was one of 12 people working to create the debut. The engineers knew they had to design a simple way to restart the computer when it fails to respond the user -- Bradley wrote the code to make it work. Bradley says. "I did a lot of other things than Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I'm famous for that one." His fame and success is achieved each time a PC user fails. He commented his relationship with Bill gates by saying " I may have invented it, but Bill gates made it famous by applying my formula when ever any Microsoft's Windows operating system made by him CRASHES, thus I win when ever he looses".

Enjoy. Holly TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because...... WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes. We rode bikes, walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were. Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

If they thought Obama was the Omega then they are in for a thumbing! America the Kenyans are here to stay. Love us hate us we shall be moving into a position near you. Dr. Joe Mwangi Symmon is vying for the California Gov?s seat. Move over Arnold! Dr. Mwangi is a proven path-finder with quite a CV stretching from back home where he founded Abarn Homes in 1977, a realty company and worked there until 1982, before, founding Panken Insurance, an underwriting firm where he worked until 1982. His political dalliance begun in 1979. While attending graduate school, he was elected President of the student movement in 1984. Born and bred in Murang'a, Kenya, Dr. Mwangi reckons his defining moment in life was on June 10, 1973 when he became a Christian and then marrying wife Dr. Alycejo in 1976, with whom they have three children. This is his story; and his vision for the people of California; California Governor - 2010. My name is Joe Symmon and I am running for Governor of California. I am a moral voice of change, hope and destined for greatness. What is critical to human progress is vision ? seeing a future that is achievable and worth attaining. ?Without a vision and sound judgment, people perish?. California?s political change is long overdue. And this is our moment to bring that change, to restore hope and reclaim our Golden state for ourselves and our emerging generations. When I am Governor, I will deal with issues affecting us today with high integrity, wisdom and leading boldly by example. Our economy will thrive, our schools and teachers will excel, and our universal health care and environmental systems will work. Static and status quo style of leadership in Sacramento will go. It is time to break the cycle of failed policies and politics. I am a visionary endowed with freshness and new ideologies. The issues that unite us are far greater than issues that divide us. As Governor I will pursue and implement these issues: Integrity The Governor will lead by example. The way I carry myself in private will be how I will treat others. Asserting the Golden rule at all decision making process. The immediate result of following the Golden Rule is that I will be treating other people very, very well. "And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them." I have personally practiced this rule since my debut into politics in 1979 and during my tenure as a Graduate student president in 1984. Moral, virtue and family values I am married to one wife for 33 years. We have raised three biological kids and are now raising almost 200 orphans with a full-time staff of over thirty. We provide them with a home, food, education, clothing, health care. By so doing, we have ignited an unstoppable hope and destiny. Giving them an opportunity for better and responsible citizenry. A Governor ought to rule his house well before he can aspire for public office, and this I have done. Solomon said ?when the righteous rule, people rejoice and when the wicked are in authority, people mourn? This is our time to turn the page. Economy Ending economic instability requires a true break with the status quo. It will not happen in the course of ?business as usual.? My plan is to unite the leaders in Sacramento so that we can have a simple majority rule to pass the budget. Partisanship politics will be a thing of the past. I have no intention to raise taxes. My giving back plan will be rolled out in my first 100 days. California will attract businesses that migrated in the past to return, and existing businesses shall perform better. This will boost the creation of new jobs. Education Our high institutions of learning should be well equipped to carry out research that will advance modern technological and social changes in every sector of learning. We?re experiencing cutbacks in almost every department and eventually affecting teaching profession and trickling down to students? performance. As Governor, I will employ a team of technocrats and professionals to change the system. Teachers should be paid well and every effort made to motivate and retain them on the job. College students should have sufficient grants to keep them focused more in their studies rather than have them work two or three jobs. Many have snoozed and died on the wheel working multiple shifts. Environment We should harness the sun and the wind to produce sufficient energy to run our vehicles and industries. And we have plenty of both here in our golden state. We should reserve and recycle all that water that runs to the Pacific from rainfall and our snow-capped mountains and utilize it to run our technology. Southern California fire season can be a thing of the past if we can use this water to plant trees that will in turn bring rainfalls to change our dry landscape into forests and run arsonists out of business. Health Every citizen should have access to affordable and reliable health care. I will guarantee affordable, accessible health care coverage for all Californians. More so for our senior citizens should enjoy their golden years in our golden state peacefully. I wholeheartedly support and would adopt Obama health-care plan. Immigration To solve the challenges we are facing in California on immigration issues, I will pursue genuine solutions daily. I will be committed to ensure that immigrants are accorded the same respect and legal status like every one who have come here to seek an opportunity to better their lives. And quoting President Obama ?they have come here for the same reason that families have always come here--for the hope that in America, they could build a better life for themselves and their families.? Legal residency for all immigrants shall be my priority. My sincere Appeal: Your Prayers first, financial support, Your Vote, mobilizing others to vote for the moral voice of Change, a Voice of Hope - Our Destiny to Greatness. A win for Dr. Symmon is a win for us all. Thank you for your support. In 1983, I did undergraduate studies and majored in intercultural studies at Life Pacific College, Los Angeles, California. I proceeded to do graduate studies in Intercultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena CA. My doctorate is from SBT-University and Seminary. In 1987 I founded Believers Faith Church. There are currently seven growing congregations. In 2001, my wife and I bought a 20 acre land to build Jubilee Children Center. We have transformed almost 200 lives of orphaned children who were roaming in the streets and slums, scavenging for food. We ignited hope, unshakeable foundation and an unstoppable stride to their destiny. A self-esteem and confidence to believe in themselves and that all things are possible. We have also founded Child of Destiny a (501 c 3) charity and Women in Pursuit of Empowerment (W.I.P.E.) to break the cycle of poverty and eradicate suffering in the lives of voiceless and marginalized kids and families around the globe. In the last six years, Jubilee Children Center has a fully accredited elementary school and administration center. The first phase of High school construction comprising of dormitories, computer and science laboratories were completed last spring, 2009. Construction of a clinic, that will include, an out-patient, HIV/AIDS testing, mammogram and maternity wing, a multi-purpose hall and a guest house are all halfway built and progressing well.

Wouldn?t you agree that bearing in mind how very important they are to the workings and success of your daily life, much more thought should be devoted to them? ? I would like to ask you some pointed questions: ? 1.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers are workers in their own right just like you, a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, etc? ? 2.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers are protected by Kenyan labour laws and that as an employer you are liable to fines for violation of any of these laws? ? 3.???????????? Do you know that most domestic workers in Nairobi are paid peanuts, around K.Shs. 3,000/- and yet like all of us, they have families and dependants that they support with the peanut salary you give them? ? 4.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers in Nairobi are entitled to a minimum wage of not less than K.Shs. 6,606/- and other benefits such as 16% house allowance? ? 5.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers suffer human rights abuse and violations such as poor pay, denial of food, long and undefined working hours, lack of medical attention, discrimination, sexual violation, no rest days, no annual leave etc? ? 6.???????????? Do you know that domestic workers can hurt you or your child because of anger, bitterness or frustrations stemming from not feeling appreciated, not being paid well etc? ? 7.???????????? Do you know that if you were a domestic worker you would want to be treated better than you do your own? ? 8.???????????? Do you know that if the terms and conditions of your own employment were as vague and ambiguous as they are for your domestic worker, you would demand a written contract, complain bitterly against your employer, and threaten to strike, go on a go-slow or even leave for another job at the first opportunity? ? 9.???????????? Do you know that your domestic workers would equally appreciate a bonus and/or a salary raise at the end of the year and would also want to exploit opportunities for self-improvement and eventually achieve self-employment? ? ? 10.????????

This proves that PNU are yet to learn the consequences of consultation and continues to undermine Coalition patner ODM and underestimate the later's Might. This also underscores the PM's argument that ODM must not quit the government and must stay inside it to force reforms and changes from within. It also proves the PM's assertion that we do not need an official of oppostion in parliament due to the current unique arrangements but be part of the system and necessitate changes from within. --- On Thu, 6/4/09, otieno sungu wrote: > From: otieno sungu > Subject: The Geneva Human Rights debacle!!!! > To: "Biddi Africa" > Cc: "young proffessionals" > Date: Thursday, June 4, 2009, 2:23 AM > The > Government finally accepted?the verdict on Kenya by the > UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Philip Alston on > extrajudicial killings in Geneva following different > perspectives by the coalition partners. > ? > This is despite the fact that one side of the Coalition > Government was actually arm twisted into accepting the > obvious. > ? > Why is it that a certain section of government is always > hellbent on denying that there are?human rights abuses > in Kenya,?corruption in government,tribalism in > government appointments,a tribally inclined?civil > service,a need to reform institutions like the police force, > judiciary and our constitution? > ? > Can the country surely move forward with all these > denials?

The trio moved quickly and agreed to discard the prepared defence which had been prepared by Party of National Unity (PNU) operatives, after they realized it would have tainted Kenya's image internationally.They were surprised to learn that the original document fell short of addressing pertinent issues raised by Prof Philip Alston's report on extra-judicial killings. . The report authored by Head of Civil Service and Secretary to the Cabinet Francis Muthaura, Government Spokesman Dr Alfred Mutua, Police Spokesman Eric Kiraithe and other State House spin doctors had been designed to pour scorn on all aspects of Alston's report, including his personality.And last evening, Government Spokesman Dr Alfred Mutua also made an about-turn, confessing that the government had acknowledged the existence of some "instance where there have been violations by police." He however warned that the government would not accept wholesale condemnation of the police force."The majority of our police officers are doing a great job, at times under difficult conditions. Today, in the country, police officers are serving wananchi and maintaining law," said Mutua on his website.It was after the delegation converged at a hotel in Geneva on Tuesday evening to forge a common position before appearing before the UN Human Rights Council that they realised the PNU report would not stand the challenge ahead. To this end, Orengo prevailed upon the delegation to replace the partisan defence position which had dismissed the UN report in its entirety with a one which demonstrates the government's commitment to address human rights violations in the country.In the earlier report prepared on May 22, 2009, the government launched a spirited defence against accusations of extra-judicial killings by the police terming them as baseless and uncalled for. "The government of Kenya does not condone extra-judicial killings and there is no policy sanctioning such killings. In this regard, the minister in charge of Provincial Administration and Internal Security has been unequivocal in Parliament in his response to the allegations and at the policy level in his direction to the police departments. This is the government's positions to which it remains committed to ensure the rights of all suspected persons are respected. The assertion that police killings are widespread, opportunistic or personal is not supported by facts," reads the report in part. But after the lengthy meeting which ended at around 2am, the delegation resolved to backtrack on the hard-line stance on extra-judicial killings by the police since there was overwhelming evidence linking the officers to unlawful executions."The government acknowledges there have been cases of unlawful killings within the police force in respect of which investigations into 53 cases have been completed and 81 police officers had been prosecuted since the year 2000," says the statement delivered by Internal Security minister Prof George Saitoti. The common position reached between ODM and PNU also saved the country from misleading the UN Human Rights Council to the effect that Police Commissioner Hussein Ali falls under constitutional officer holders who can only be sacked after enactment of the new constitution."The Rapporteur's call for the removal of constitutional office holders in key government institutions is paternalistic, unhelpful and uncalled for. The government outrightly rejects this call. The appointment and removal of constitutional office holders such as judges, Attorney General and Commissioner of Police is provided under the Constitution of Kenya. Any proposals for change of the established procedure of appointment and removal can only be considered during the constitutional review process which is imminent," reads the report which was rejected by ODM.In its presentation, the government disowned the Police Commissioner and only defended Wako saying it was not within Prof Alston's mandate to recommend his resignation being a constitutional office holder. Speaking to Kenya Times from Geneva yesterday, Orengo said the preparation of a shoddy document was a clear indication that there are some elements in government who are opposed to reforms."The withdrawn document was an embarrassment, shoddy and insensitive to human rights issues. It was unwise and ill-advised to be on the warpath against Prof Alston. We had to rise to the occasion and come up with a position that addresses the critical issues raised in the UN report in order to salvage the image of the country," said Orengo. However, Mutula refuted claims that they withdrew the document but hailed the delegation for rising to the occasion to take a common position before the UN body."We did not withdraw our document. We reached consensus and picked harmonized areas. It would have been an embarrassment for the country if we had presented parallel views," Mutula told Kenya Times. He said that it would have been a tragedy if they would have used the earlier report which had personalized attacks against Prof Alston instead of addressing real issues espoused in the UN report."We changed our mind after realizing that it would have been suicidal to base our argument on side shows propagated in the document. I salute the delegation for saving the country from a potential embarrassment before the UN," added Mutula. Mutula said Kenya being a signatory to UN statutes, it was obliged to adhere to the spirit and letter of the report.His sentiments were echoed by Orengo who called upon the Grand Coalition Government to move with speed to implement Prof Alston's recommendations and the issues they proposed before the UN Human Rights Council.The minister called for the reconstitution of the National Task Force on Police Reforms saying it was "too partisan" to execute its mandate effectively. "We need to reconstitute the task force to embrace the spirit of the coalition government so that it can deliver on it can come up with ways of restoring sanity in the police force," added Orengo.More in Print Edition.

If they thought Obama was the Omega then they are in for a thumbing! America the Kenyans are here to stay. Love us hate us we shall be moving into a position near you. Dr. Joe Mwangi Symmon is vying for the California Gov?s seat. Move over Arnold! Dr. Mwangi is a proven path-finder with quite a CV stretching from back home where he founded Abarn Homes in 1977, a realty company and worked there until 1982, before, founding Panken Insurance, an underwriting firm where he worked until 1982. His political dalliance begun in 1979. While attending graduate school, he was elected President of the student movement in 1984. Born and bred in Murang'a, Kenya, Dr. Mwangi reckons his defining moment in life was on June 10, 1973 when he became a Christian and then marrying wife Dr. Alycejo in 1976, with whom they have three children. This is his story; and his vision for the people of California; California Governor - 2010. My name is Joe Symmon and I am running for Governor of California. I am a moral voice of change, hope and destined for greatness. What is critical to human progress is vision ? seeing a future that is achievable and worth attaining. ?Without a vision and sound judgment, people perish?. California?s political change is long overdue. And this is our moment to bring that change, to restore hope and reclaim our Golden state for ourselves and our emerging generations. When I am Governor, I will deal with issues affecting us today with high integrity, wisdom and leading boldly by example. Our economy will thrive, our schools and teachers will excel, and our universal health care and environmental systems will work. Static and status quo style of leadership in Sacramento will go. It is time to break the cycle of failed policies and politics. I am a visionary endowed with freshness and new ideologies. The issues that unite us are far greater than issues that divide us. As Governor I will pursue and implement these issues: Integrity The Governor will lead by example. The way I carry myself in private will be how I will treat others. Asserting the Golden rule at all decision making process. The immediate result of following the Golden Rule is that I will be treating other people very, very well. "And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them." I have personally practiced this rule since my debut into politics in 1979 and during my tenure as a Graduate student president in 1984. Moral, virtue and family values I am married to one wife for 33 years. We have raised three biological kids and are now raising almost 200 orphans with a full-time staff of over thirty. We provide them with a home, food, education, clothing, health care. By so doing, we have ignited an unstoppable hope and destiny. Giving them an opportunity for better and responsible citizenry. A Governor ought to rule his house well before he can aspire for public office, and this I have done. Solomon said ?when the righteous rule, people rejoice and when the wicked are in authority, people mourn? This is our time to turn the page. Economy Ending economic instability requires a true break with the status quo. It will not happen in the course of ?business as usual.? My plan is to unite the leaders in Sacramento so that we can have a simple majority rule to pass the budget. Partisanship politics will be a thing of the past. I have no intention to raise taxes. My giving back plan will be rolled out in my first 100 days. California will attract businesses that migrated in the past to return, and existing businesses shall perform better. This will boost the creation of new jobs. Education Our high institutions of learning should be well equipped to carry out research that will advance modern technological and social changes in every sector of learning. We?re experiencing cutbacks in almost every department and eventually affecting teaching profession and trickling down to students? performance. As Governor, I will employ a team of technocrats and professionals to change the system. Teachers should be paid well and every effort made to motivate and retain them on the job. College students should have sufficient grants to keep them focused more in their studies rather than have them work two or three jobs. Many have snoozed and died on the wheel working multiple shifts. Environment We should harness the sun and the wind to produce sufficient energy to run our vehicles and industries. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If they thought Obama was the Omega then they are in for a thumbing! America the Kenyans are here to stay. Love us hate us we shall be moving into a position near you. Dr. Joe Mwangi Symmon is vying for the California Gov?s seat. Move over Arnold! Dr. Mwangi is a proven path-finder with quite a CV stretching from back home where he founded Abarn Homes in 1977, a realty company and worked there until 1982, before, founding Panken Insurance, an underwriting firm where he worked until 1982. His political dalliance begun in 1979. While attending graduate school, he was elected President of the student movement in 1984. Born and bred in Murang'a, Kenya, Dr. Mwangi reckons his defining moment in life was on June 10, 1973 when he became a Christian and then marrying wife Dr. Alycejo in 1976, with whom they have three children. This is his story; and his vision for the people of California; California Governor - 2010. My name is Joe Symmon and I am running for Governor of California. I am a moral voice of change, hope and destined for greatness. What is critical to human progress is vision ? seeing a future that is achievable and worth attaining. ?Without a vision and sound judgment, people perish?. California?s political change is long overdue. And this is our moment to bring that change, to restore hope and reclaim our Golden state for ourselves and our emerging generations. When I am Governor, I will deal with issues affecting us today with high integrity, wisdom and leading boldly by example. Our economy will thrive, our schools and teachers will excel, and our universal health care and environmental systems will work. Static and status quo style of leadership in Sacramento will go. It is time to break the cycle of failed policies and politics. I am a visionary endowed with freshness and new ideologies. The issues that unite us are far greater than issues that divide us. As Governor I will pursue and implement these issues: Integrity The Governor will lead by example. The way I carry myself in private will be how I will treat others. Asserting the Golden rule at all decision making process. The immediate result of following the Golden Rule is that I will be treating other people very, very well. "And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them." I have personally practiced this rule since my debut into politics in 1979 and during my tenure as a Graduate student president in 1984. Moral, virtue and family values I am married to one wife for 33 years. We have raised three biological kids and are now raising almost 200 orphans with a full-time staff of over thirty. We provide them with a home, food, education, clothing, health care. By so doing, we have ignited an unstoppable hope and destiny. Giving them an opportunity for better and responsible citizenry. A Governor ought to rule his house well before he can aspire for public office, and this I have done. Solomon said ?when the righteous rule, people rejoice and when the wicked are in authority, people mourn? This is our time to turn the page. Economy Ending economic instability requires a true break with the status quo. It will not happen in the course of ?business as usual.? My plan is to unite the leaders in Sacramento so that we can have a simple majority rule to pass the budget. Partisanship politics will be a thing of the past. I have no intention to raise taxes. My giving back plan will be rolled out in my first 100 days. California will attract businesses that migrated in the past to return, and existing businesses shall perform better. This will boost the creation of new jobs. Education Our high institutions of learning should be well equipped to carry out research that will advance modern technological and social changes in every sector of learning. We?re experiencing cutbacks in almost every department and eventually affecting teaching profession and trickling down to students? performance. As Governor, I will employ a team of technocrats and professionals to change the system. Teachers should be paid well and every effort made to motivate and retain them on the job. College students should have sufficient grants to keep them focused more in their studies rather than have them work two or three jobs. Many have snoozed and died on the wheel working multiple shifts. Environment We should harness the sun and the wind to produce sufficient energy to run our vehicles and industries. __._,_.___ Messages in this topic () Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Files | Photos | Links | Database | Polls | Members | Calendar Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

French Number Of Speakers: 129 Million Often called the most romantic language in the world, French is spoken in tons of countries, including Belgium, Canada, Rwanda, Cameroon, and Haiti. Oh, and France too. We're actually very lucky that French is so popular, because without it, we might have been stuck with Dutch Toast, Dutch Fries, and Dutch kissing (ew!). To say "hello" in French, say "Bonjour" (bone-JOOR). 9. Malay-Indonesian Number Of Speakers: 159 Million Malay-Indonesian is spoken - surprise - in Malaysia and Indonesia. Actually, we kinda fudged the numbers on this one because there are many dialects of Malay, the most popular of which is Indonesian. But they're all pretty much based on the same root language, which makes it the ninth most-spoken in the world. Indonesia is a fascinating place; a nation made up of over 13,000 islands it is the sixth most populated country in the world. Malaysia borders on two of the larger parts of Indonesia (including the island of Borneo), and is mostly known for its capital city of Kuala Lumpur. To say "hello" in Indonesian, say "Selamat pagi" (se-LA-maht PA-gee). 8. Portuguese Number Of Speakers: 191 Million Think of Portuguese as the little language that could. In the 12th Century, Portugal won its independence from Spain and expanded all over the world with the help of its famous explorers like Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry the Navigator. (Good thing Henry became a navigator . . . could you imagine if a guy named "Prince Henry the Navigator" became a florist?) Because Portugal got in so early on the exploring game, the language established itself all over the world, especially in Brazil (where it's the national language), Macau, Angola, Venezuela, and Mozambique. To say "hello" in Portuguese, say "Bom dia" (bohn DEE-ah). 7. Bengali Number Of Speakers: 211 Million In Bangladesh, a country of 120+ million people, just about everybody speaks Bengali. And because Bangladesh is virtually surrounded by India (where the population is growing so fast, just breathing the air can get you pregnant), the number of Bengali speakers in the world is much higher than most people would expect. To say "hello" in Bengali, say "Ei Je" (EYE-jay). 6. Arabic Number Of Speakers: 246 Million Arabic, one of the world's oldest languages, is spoken in the Middle East, with speakers found in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt. Furthermore, because Arabic is the language of the Koran, millions of Moslems in other countries speak Arabic as well. So many people have a working knowledge of Arabic, in fact, that in 1974 it was made the sixth official language of the United Nations. To say "hello" in Arabic, say "Al salaam a'alaykum" (Ahl sah-LAHM ah ah-LAY-koom). 5. Russian Number Of Speakers: 277 Million Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Yakov Smirnoff are among the millions of Russian speakers out there. Sure, we used to think of them as our Commie enemies. Now we think of them as our Commie friends. One of the six languages in the UN, Russian is spoken not only in the Mother Country, but also in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the U.S. (to name just a few places). To say "hello" in Russian, say "Zdravstvuite" (ZDRAST-vet-yah). 4. Spanish Number Of Speakers: 392 Million Aside from all of those kids who take it in high school, Spanish is spoken in just about every South American and Central American country, not to mention Spain, Cuba, and the U.S. There is a particular interest in Spanish in the U.S., as many English words are borrowed from the language, including: tornado, bonanza, patio, quesadilla, enchilada, and taco grande supreme. To say "hello" in Spanish, say "Hola" (OH-la). 3. Hindustani Number Of Speakers: 497 Million Hindustani is the primary language of India's crowded population, and it encompasses a huge number of dialects (of which the most commonly spoken is Hindi). While many predict that the population of India will soon surpass that of China, the prominence of English in India prevents Hindustani from surpassing the most popular language in the world. If you're interested in learning a little Hindi, there's a very easy way: rent an Indian movie. The film industry in India is the most prolific in the world, making thousands of action/romance/musicals every year. To say "hello" in Hindustani, say "Namaste" (Nah-MAH-stay). 2. English Number Of Speakers: 508 Million While English doesn't have the most speakers, it is the official language of more countries than any other language. Its speakers hail from all around the world, including the U.S., Australia, England, Zimbabwe, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, South Africa, and Canada. We'd tell you more about English, but you probably feel pretty comfortable with the language already. Let's just move on to the most popular language in the world. To say "hello" in English, say "What's up, freak?" (watz-UP-freek). 1. Mandarin [Chinese] Number Of Speakers: 1 Billion+ Surprise, surprise, the most widely spoken language on the planet is based in the most populated country on the planet, China. Beating second-place English by a 2 to 1 ratio, but don't let that lull you into thinking that Mandarin is easy to learn. Speaking Mandarin can be really tough, because each word can be pronounced in four ways (or "tones"), and a beginner will invariably have trouble distinguishing one tone from another. But if over a billion people could do it, so could you. Try saying hello! To say "hello" in Mandarin, say "Ni hao" (Nee HaOW). ("Hao" is pronounced as one syllable, but the tone requires that you let your voice drop midway, and then raise it again at the end.)

It is a one-handed keyboard which enables its user to hold documents, tools or other items while entering information on a PDA, Pocket PC, smart phone, laptop or other mobile device. The FrogPad has been designed for fast data entry. The letter layout is based on the percent usage of each letter in the English language. Fifteen letters that are used 86% of the time by typists are placed in the most efficient locations on the keyboard Geeky caller display! Words float in the air! The Caller ID information slowly rotates around, giving you a heads-up on who's interrupting your coding or fragging session. Not only does it look cool, the Infoglobe is practical as well, allowing you to see who's calling without having to get up from the couch. Ok so coffee is your staple at work! Here's a method for keeping your beverage at the proper consumption temperature. The USB Cafe Pad is a small desktop device that will warm your mug and keep your coffee or tea in a thermal holding pattern. Simply plug into a USB connection, switch it on and you're ready to go. The Dashboard operates wirelessly and displays real-time, at-a-glance information customised to your world. Simply select the details that you wish to track like stocks, weather, traffic etc. and see the stream of information. It can simultaneously track three different pieces of data and display them in an analog format. No WiFi, computer, or Internet required just plug it in and start receiving information Doodling couldn't get better than this! Here's a new way to do it in style. Just doodle on your note pad and pull out your LighTalk. With a push of a button, the LighTalk will scan the image into its memory. Flip the switch to the display mode, and wave the pen-shaped LighTalk back and forth. Your image will be created in the air by a strip of orange LEDs. It stores up to 4 images, so you can show off your doodle later, too. Perfect to dazzle everyone around with this geeky stunt! Passowords can be a real pain in this geeky world. The Mandylion Password Manager is a real treat! A secure, convenient and cost-effective device built specifically for generating and protecting your passwords. Tested and matured for 3 years in real warfare environments, it is now available for commercial use. Built as a small keyring device, it can securely manage up to 50 logins, safe combinations, security codes, etc. that can be individually generated to meet the composition requirements of any login policy. Passwords can be any length up to 14 characters or namespaces. Earth's most powerful hand gyroscope - now in Neon Blue!!! The blue LED light starts to glow once the Powerball begins rotating and will glow ever brighter as the rpms are increased. Looks like something from a Tron movie and is especially fascinating in a darkened room. Trust us, you will be mesmerized by this little gem. The Powerball is started out at about 2,500 rpm and is slowly worked up to speeds over 13,000 rpm. It's a lot of fun to see just how fast the Powerball can rotate. There is a digital display built into the Powerball that can display the realtime rotor rpm as well as store the highest achieved rpm - a high score which will remain in the memory until you achieve a higher score or clear the memory. Use it around the office to see who can achieve and maintain the highest rpm speed. You will never get tired with your repeated attempts to continuously get higher and higher rpm speeds. It's a lot of fun and dangerously addictive. . -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <8492F2242D21A2419B9C0AA8DA9B8E7B266B61@mailserver.salafrica.com> (Its a long mail but u'll learn alot if you can read the whole thing) Graphology What is Graphology? Graphology is the study of a person's character through the medium of handwriting. The study of handwriting is based on a general style of writing, the formation of letters, the alignment and space between words and lines etc. Through this study, we can get an idea of a person's character, mentality and attitude towards a particular field of profession, and much more. Understanding Graphology: Your handwriting develops right from childhood. When you write, your pen is under the control of the muscles of your fingers, hands and arm. All these body parts are under the control of your mind. The manner in which the words are eventually formed by the pen must bear a direct relationship to the mind that guides their formation. Each vibration of movement is unconsciously directed by the brain, so we can judge the mental state of the writer. It is a guide to the will power, intellect and emotions of a person. For an accurate analysis, written text should have been written in a natural manner and the effort should not be deliberate. The best samples are business letters or notes. What Facilitates Analysis A study of the following facilitates analysis :- a.. The size of the letters. b.. The style of writing based on lines. c.. The spacing of lines and words. d.. Letter formation. e.. The angle or slant of writing. It's also important to know the age and educational standards of the writer. Obviously an old man's hand will be shaky when you compare his writing to a relatively younger person. The interpretation of the writing or the written script is common for both men and women. Analysis Based on Size of Letters The size of the letters is indicative of the following:- 1.. Very Small Writing: Tiny writing indicates the artistic nature of the writer. People with this style go into the details of whatever they are doing. Generally they specialise in a particular field. They have an aim in life and do not waste either time or energy. 2.. Small Size Writing: This indicates an intellectual and scholarly person with a keen sense of observation. These people are meticulous and methodical and are destined to do well in life. 3.. Medium / Average Sized Letters: This is characteristic of a methodical and well-balanced person with a healthy mind. They are suited to business rather than service. Worldly-wise, they can grasp things quickly and well despite being relatively less educated. 4.. Large Sized Letters: They show an active and restless mind. People with this handwriting are large hearted, self reliant and can influence others quickly. Very talkative, if they concentrate more on themselves, they can succeed easily. 5.. Very Large or Huge Lettering: People like these feel that they are important. They cannot face criticism and therefore are definitely successful. 6.. Constant / Same Size of Letters: This is indicative of a methodical mind. 7.. Decrease in Size of Letters: Writing like this indicates a great level of cunning. 8.. Increase in Size of Letters: Handwriting that gets larger indicates great frankness. Analysis Based on Level of Writing 1.. Straight Lines: If lines are straight, the person has will power and determination. If they are absolutely straight, the person could be rigid. If a little irregular, the person has skill in many fields or has the capability to acquire one or more. 2.. Downward Slant: A downward slant is indicative of a dismal outlook. These people are pessimistic, moody and gets discouraged easily. If the writing has a prominent down ward slant, then they should be cautious because they can be foolish. They may try to get others sympathy by expressing this quality. If a person is not well physically and his or her writing has an extreme downward slant, it is not a good sign. It should be taken as a warning. 3.. Upward Slant: People who write this way are usually ambitious. They are also optimistic. If your handwriting has an upward slant, you probably can talk a lot, could be over-confident and sometimes unreliable. If the slant has a slight upward trend, then it is a good sign. If the slant is very steep, all these qualities are exaggerated. 4.. Irregular Lines: If the lines go upwards, but only towards the end of a sentence, particularly near the bottom of the page, they indicate a strong personality. Such people are courageous even in adversity. 5.. Falling Lines: If at the end of a line and at the bottom of a page, your lines fall, it means you get irritated and worried easily. You are weak and prone to stress. 6.. Dipped Lines: Lines which dip in the centre and rise again later indicate a half-hearted approach to work. People with such a hand start on work half-heartedly, with no purpose. Later they get enthusiastic and finish the task well. 7.. Humped Lines: These are lines that rise in the centre like a hump and then dip once again. These people start work enthusiastically but soon get discouraged and leave the task mid way. The significance of spacing 1.. Line Spacing: This is an important aspect of hand writing analysis. It proves how important it is for the analyst to have a number of samples of a person's writing to provide an accurate judgment of an individual's personality traits. 2.. Close Spacing: If the lines are very close to each other and have no space in between, they show a confused personality with diverse thoughts crowding the mind. 3.. Average Spacing: These people are never in a hurry. They are casual and clear in thought, and in their day- to -day behaviour. They are well balanced and fair in their dealings. 4.. Wide Spacing: Many famous personalities possess this type of spacing. They are methodical careful and intelligent. Overall these are people with strong character. 5.. Connected Writing: When the letters of each word are connected it is called connected writing. These people are firm, bold, clear, and are positive attitude. They work in a refined way and are perfectionists. It is the mark of an outright sceptic. 6.. Broken Writing: Here, a few letters are disconnected. This type of writing indicates an ability to judge human character. Their writing looks rhythmic and signifies a fine flow of thought and interspersed with quick inspirational touches. It is indeed the writing of intelligent people. 7.. Disconnected Writing: Here every letter is separate. These people live in dreams and have a poetic mind. Inevitably, this is a person who loves art and nature. Do not confuse this handwriting with printed letters. 8.. Cramped Writing: When the words are cramped they indicate people who are extremely expressive. Those with this type of writing are cautions about money matters, bargain a great deal and are suspicious by nature. 9.. Spaced Writing: When words are very far apart, they belong to people who expressive but extravagant. Exhibitionists, they are socially active and fond of good life. They can never be systematic and are usually spend thrift. They forget things easily and should be careful in money matters. Some Finer Points of Judgement / Analysis Based On Letter Formation. 1.. Rounded Letter: Writing of this type has rounded formations. It seems as if the writer has written in comfort and at leisure. These people are lazy, luxurious, and hate to do hard work. They have all the time in the world to chat but still think that they are busy. However, they are also peace- loving, law-abiding and crave the better things in life. 2.. Block Writing: These letters are plain simple and unadorned. The writing is straight. People of this type are hard-working, meticulous and practical. They are generally busy and are reserved by nature. 3.. Angular Writing: This is distinguished from 'Block' and 'Round' types of writing. People who write this way are full of energy and life. They want to lead people but are aggressive and desire quick results. They do not take criticism well. If the writing is too angular it shows a person as money-minded. If moderately angular the writer could be wise, loving and experienced. 4.. Single Letters: If the size of the letter does not change, it indicates that a person is very careful and conscious. These people never neglect their duties and are careful to finish whatever task is assigned to them. They are usually absorbed in the minutest details of any work that they undertake. 5.. Irregular Letters: Writing of this type is full of large and small letters. These people are rarely reliable and could be fickle. They take the most convenient route to anything. 6.. Small to Large Letters: Writing of this type indicates restrained behaviour. These people are eager to express themselves, work hard and want to get success through honest means. 7.. Large to Small Letters: This shows a tactful and friendly nature. People like this make good use of their connections. They are fair in all their dealings. Finer Significance of Angle/ Slant One of the most important aspects of graphology is the angle or slant of a person's writing. This needs special study since the variations though minimal, are significant. 1.. If a slant is at 60 to 70 degrees, it shows the person as sensitive, emotional and imaginative. They get aggressive at the slightest provocation and have an intense nature. One should be very careful when dealing with them, since they get excited very quickly. 2.. If the slant is at 70 to 80 degrees, these people are very generous and very kind. They can make others happy and this helps them build careers. They share their happiness with others. 3.. A slant of 80 to 90 degrees is very common. This style is widely used and has a slight tilt towards the right. It indicates a cordial nature and a friendly attitude towards others. These people are genuine and usually take things easy. It is not difficult to manage people of this kind. 4.. If the slant is right-angled at 90 degrees, it shows a selfish nature. These people are analytic and unemotional, but could also be sincere and reliable. They always recognise obligations and hence prove good friends. 5.. If the slant is at 100 degrees, it indicates that the person remembers all the good and bad things that have happened in the past. It shows a nature that is suppressed and controlled, and which therefore could collapse when faced with problems and difficulty. 6.. If the slant is at 120 degrees, the person is cold and self-centred, and has no respect or regard towards others.

We have learned from witnesses, lawyers Lan Zhizue and Dong Qianyong, that our colleague Tang Jitian was forcefully taken away by an officer of your public security branch at 2:00am on the 4th of June 2009. Tang has since been missing. His family is very worried about his personal safety and is anxiously searching for him. We strongly protest against this illegal deprivation of Tang?s personal freedom. We urge you to immediately release lawyer Tang Jitian and demand accountability for the unlawful detention of our colleague. Background: At 6:30am on 3rd June 2009 lawyers Tang Jitian and Lan Zhixue just finished their discussion of a case they were working on, in room 316 Yaxin building, 63 Sihuan Beilu, West Haidian District, Beijing. Police from Sijiqing substation took them in for questioning without giving any valid reason. Lawyer Tang was kept in police custody until 8:00pm This is longer than the 12 hour time limit for a summons according to law. On the way home with lawyer Don Qianyong accompanying, Lawyer Tang Jitian was followed by police of Sijiqing substation and two internal security police of Haidian district branch. When both lawyers got out of a taxi at East Erhuan at a footbridge next to the airport highway they were stopped by four police. Internal security police surnamed Zhang requested lawyer Tang for a ?talk?. Tang refused the summons due to the lack of legal procedure, failure to produce any legal document and no valid reason being given. Four police then started to use force with him. At around 2:00am on 4 June 2009, two more police in plain clothes arrived. The other four police escorted lawyer Tang to a car. Tang pushed against the car door, police then lifted his legs up and threw him into the car, then drove the car away. His whereabouts is unknown. Up until the end of 6 June 2009, lawyer Tang has been missing for more than 60 hours. Since our country resumed law in 1979, the state has put effort into rebuilding and further developing the legal system. We have been happy to see in 1998 and 2004, that the state has written into Constitutional Law the wording of ?The People's Republic of China exercises the rule of law, building a socialist country governed according to law.?. ?The State respects and protects human rights?. We see this as great progress toward building a legal system. The current Constitution of Communist Party of China (below CCPC) adopted on 21 October 2001, stated in its general program: ?The Communist Party of China in accordance with the general requirements for democracy and the rule of law, equity and justice, honesty and fraternity, vigor and vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature and the principle of all the people building and sharing a harmonious socialist society.? And in chapter I, article 2 it states ?Members of the Communist Party of China are at all times ordinary members of the working people. Communist Party members must not seek any personal gain or privileges, although the relevant laws and policies provide them with personal benefits and job-related functions and powers.? Also under chapter I article 3 point 4, it states, ?To conscientiously observe the Party discipline, abide by the laws and regulations of the state in an exemplary way?? However, from the incident of lawyer Tang Jitian we are sad to note that police of the Haidian District Branch of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau not only did not abide by the laws and regulations of the state but malpracticed by violating the law. Sijiqing substation has arbitrarily summoned two lawyers, forcefully taken them in for questioning and illegally detained them for as long as 14 hours. Later, the internal security police again illegally followed lawyer Tang Jitian and illegally deprived him of his freedom, roughly handling him and putting him in a car by force. As a legal worker, the purpose of our being is to guard the Constitutional Law, to make sure it is implemented correctly and to defend the dignity of people as guaranteed by Constitutional Law. If a citizen can be arbitrarily detained, forcefully disappeared or arbitrarily summoned without following legal procedure, how fearful people?s life is! We wish to see our country, China, to be a state with law and order, with anticipation that state powers are under restraint and are accountable under rule of law. We, the undersigned lawyers and citizens, strongly object to and protest against the malpractice of the Haidian District Branch, Public Security Bureau!

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time. Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. If you agree, pass it on. If you can read this - Thank a teacher! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Message-ID: <8492F2242D21A2419B9C0AA8DA9B8E7B266B5E@mailserver.salafrica.com> What is a " Liger " ? Read on . . . . . . . . . The animal in the above picture is an animal born by mating a Lion with a Tiger. So, it is called a " Liger " ! It is a 10 feet animal and still growing ! It has been named " Hercules " ! On a typical day, " Hercules " would devour around 65 kilos of meat and is observed to be capable of eating around 140 kilos of meat, at a single sitting. At three years of age now, " Hercules " weighs 487 kilos ! " Hercules " is the accidental result of two enormous big cats living close together at the institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, in Miami, Florida, and already dwarfs both his parents. " Ligers are not something we planned on having " said institute owner Dr. B. Antle. " We have lions and tigers living together in large enclosures and at first we had no idea, how well one of the lion boys was getting along with a tiger girl, then lo and behold - We had a Liger " ! " Hercules " is a 65 kilometer per hour. Not only that, but he likes to swim, a feat unheard of - among water-fearing lions. In the wild it is virtually impossible for lions and tigers to mate. Not only are the enemies likely to kill one another, but most lions are in Africa and most tigers live in Asia ! But incredible though he is, " Hercules " is not unique. Ligers have been bred in captivity, deliberately and accidentally, since shortly before World War II. Today there are believed to be a handful of ligers around the world and a similar number of Tigons - the product of a tiger father and lion mother. Tigons are smaller than ligers and take on more physical characteristics of the tiger. Just look at its size ! Mama Mia !!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Phony Human Rights Organization Promotes More Bloodshed in Central Africa In-Reply-To: <486107.68009.qm@web31408.mail.mud.yahoo.com> References: <486107.68009.qm@web31408.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: http://www.blackstarnews.com/news/135/ARTICLE/5749/2009-06-06.html [Black Star News Editorial: Africa Conflict] On Genocide: Enough Of Enough! The organization Enough! claims its mission is to ?end genocide and crimes against humanity? and yet in one of the most perverted foreign policy initiatives ever it?s calling for the U.S. to invade Central Africa in pursuit of Joseph Kony, leader of the vicious Lord?s Resistance Army. At the same time, Enough! would have the U.S. military align itself with the army of Uganda?s President Yoweri Museveni, who is possibly an unindicted war criminal who is actually being investigated by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague for alleged war crimes committed in the DR Congo; the revelation was in a 2006 front-page report in The Wall Street Journal. The alleged crimes committed by Uganda?s army and Uganda-financed militias in Congo, when Uganda occupied eastern Congo between 1997-2003 included massacres, mass rapes, looting of Congolese natural and mineral resources, destruction of Congolese homes, and ethnic cleansing. Please see Human Rights Watch?s report, ?Ituri: Covered In Blood, Ethnically Targeted Violence In Northeastern DR Congo? http://www.hrw.org/reports/2003/ituri0703/DRC0703.pdf The International Court of Justice (ICJ) subsequently ruled in favor of the Congo government on the civil complaint in 2005 and awarded $10 billion in compensation, not a dime of which has been paid. Please see http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/116/10455.pdf According to The Wall Street Journal?s 2006 news report, the ICC took up the criminal investigation after the Congo government referred the complaint to the Hague. Presumably, the ICC might be guided by the evidence that the ICJ found compelling. Why then would Enough! and other organizations, unless they have hidden agenda and want President Barack Obama?s Administration to be aligned with a potential unindicted war criminal? Museveni himself fears the investigation and takes it seriously, and so should Enough! The Wall Street Journal reported: ?President Museveni of Uganda asked U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to block the Congo investigation, according to one person familiar with the matter. Mr. Annan replied that he had no power to interfere with the court, this person said.? Moreover, two of the leaders of the murderous Congo militias financed by Museveni, Jean Pierre-Bemba, and Germain Katanga, have been indicted and arrested and are already at the Hague. So is Enough! really serious about peace in Central Africa? Is it on a mission to discourage the ICC?s probe by trying to steer a policy that would bind the U.S. into an alliance with Museveni? Certainly the ICC takes signals from the U.S. Administration. Enough! has issued many statements decrying genocidal acts in Sudan?s Darfur region and for long demanded action against Sudan?s President Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Enough!?s silence with respect to atrocities directed or commissioned by Museveni and his sometimes allies, Rwanda?s President Paul Kagame and the terrorist he sponsored in DR Congo, Laurent Nkunda, is deafening. That Kagame and Nkunda are responsible for genocide in Ituri and eastern Congo has been well established by Human Rights Watch and is known to Enough! Even the New York Times, which for long had treated Kagame and Nkunda with kid gloves, conceded in an article headlined "Rwanda Stirs Deadly Brew of Troubles in Congo" on December 4, 2008, that the Rwanda president was financing Nkunda?s massacres and even supplying the men and arms. Where are the press releases from Enough! calling for the ICC action against Kagame and Nkunda? Enough! issues press releases deploring massacres and mass rapes in DR Congo without clearly stating who the responsible agents of these crimes are?as if they occur in a vacuum. Enough! correctly attacks ongoing atrocities in the Darfur region and those committed by Joseph Kony?s Lord?s Resistance Army (LRA) but demonstrates selective outrage elsewhere. Is this done by design? Is this clever duplicity? After all the information about the other crimes are out there. How can an organization that purports to fight genocide and war crimes pick and choose? Is this not an unfair and even immoral demand to impose upon the victims of such crimes? One is either outraged by all mass crimes; or one is simply engaged in duplicitous ?outrage?. Enough!'s double standards are most glaring with respect to Uganda. Uganda invaded Congo when it was still known as Zaire, in 1996. The invasion was popular; it rid the country of dictator and kleptocrat Mobuttu Sese Seko. In 1997 Uganda again invaded Congo. This time, the mission was occupation and illegal enrichment through pillaging of the country?s resources, as detailed in Human Rights Watch?s ?Ituri? report. So why is Enough! not demanding that the ICC also indict Museveni for the war crimes in DR Congo? Instead, Enough! wants more warfare in Central Africa. Last December, while George W. Bush was still in office, Uganda?s army launched a U.S.-coordinated and financed attack against the LRA called ?Operation Thunder?. It was Bush?s gift to Museveni for sending troops to prop up the weak Somali government installed by Ethiopia at the behest of Washington. The attack backfired ?Kony was not captured and only increased his mystic by eluding U.S.-backed Ugandan forces. Kony?s forces then reportedly resorted to a vicious campaign of killings against Congolese civilians. Ironically, there had been no combat, killings and destruction for more than two years, as Uganda?s government had negotiated peace with the LRA, from 2006 to the end of 2008. Impatient with Kony?s reluctance to sign a final peace treaty, Uganda?s Museveni resorted to what both he and Bush seemed to favor in resolving conflicts: militarism. The Obama Administration should not be lured by organizations such as Enough! into this trap; the victims are civilians?women and children primarily. If President Obama is willing to dialogue with Korea?s Kim Jong-Il; Iran?s Mahmoud Ahmedinajed; Cuba?s Raul and Fidel Castro; and even with reasonable elements of the Taliban in Afghanistan, why promote more bloodshed in Central Africa without exploring other options. Obama is no Bush; that?s why he beat a Republican candidate. Enough! own vision for Central Africa is very clear; in a most chilling manner. It has posted a paper, ?Finishing The Fight Against The LRA? on its website www.enoughproject.org Here?s what Enough! boldly declares: ?Operation Lightning Thunder did not end the threat of the Lord?s Resistance Army, or LRA, and it sparked harsh reprisals by the LRA against civilians in Congo. Yet, it would be an even greater tragedy for civilians if key states in the region and the international community lost their collective will to end the threat of the LRA once and for all. What is needed now is a second Ugandan-led operation against the LRA. This new operation must place civilian protection front and center. In addition, it will require stronger and more effective support from the United States and the international community, and the full commitment from the Congolese government and army to complete the job in a reasonable timeframe and operate in all LRA-affected areas of northeastern Congo. If the United States takes the lead in supporting a new Ugandan military operation, as Enough believes it should, it must provide solid planning, intelligence, coordination, and logistical support?and take greater responsibility for the executing and outcomes of the operation.? What manner of cold-blooded madness is this? What kind of organization that purports to fight genocide would call for more bloodshed in order to ?stop? bloodshed? Of course it?s easier to advocate warfare when it?s done on someone else?s backyard with the victims being someone else?s African daughters and sons. Enough! is also excited about the recent Bill introduced by Senators Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and Sam Brownback of Kansas, hoping it will lead to more U.S.-sponsored war in Central Africa. The Bill, borrowing language from Enough! is called the ?Lord?s Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009.? The Bill contains good elements when it calls for multi-million dollar financing of recovery in Uganda?s devastated Acholi region. Even then, U.S. representatives would have to be involved in the monitoring. Corruption in Museveni?s government is so rampant that even money sent to combat HIV/Aids was embezzled according to Uganda news reports. The Bill?s problematic part --actually favored and promoted by Enough!-- is section (3), or "statement of policy" and in part reads that, it's U.S. policy, in furthering the goal to end the conflict in northern and eastern Uganda and other affected areas by "eliminating the threat posed by the Lord?s Resistance Army to civilians and regional stability through political, economic, military, and intelligence support for a comprehensive multilateral effort to protect civilians in affected areas, to apprehend or otherwise remove Joseph Kony and his top commanders from the battlefield, and to disarm and demobilize Lord?s Resistance Army fighters..." The U.S. must not align itself with Uganda?s military establishment in escalating conflict in Uganda and Central Africa. That?s precisely what Museveni wants; that?s a strategy he?s pursued for 23 years, with only deadly and destructive consequences. It?s also allowed him the excuse to extinguish political opposition to his regime. Moreover, while it was fine for Bush to become mired in ?Operation Thunder,? President Obama, a Constitutional Law professor, may want to maintain a firewall with a potentially unindicted war criminal, with respect to the Congo atrocities; even while working on other matters with the Ugandan government. The Feingold-Brownback Bill also contains a section about accountability; not surprisingly Enough! as well as the Ugandan government have not been highlighting this. The Bill supports "a body to investigate the history of the conflict, inquire into human rights violations committed during the conflict by all sides, promote truth-telling in communities, and encourage the preservation of the memory of events and victims of the conflict through memorials, archives, commemorations, and other forms of preservation...." Thorough investigation into the history of the conflict between Museveni's army and the LRA, would result in Museveni possibly sharing a jail cell with Kony in the Hague. Ironically, if the Feingold-Brownback Bill could lead to removal of both Museveni and Kony from Uganda?s political stage, peace would be restored in Central Africa almost overnight. EDITOR?S CALL FOR ACTION PLAN: Everyone who cares for Africa and wants to end the suffering of countless civilians on the continent can take some of the following actions: (1)Contact Enough! by e-mail message at info at enoughproject.org and by telephone (202) 682-1611 or fax (202) 682-6140 and tell them to prove that they are not a nefarious partisan organization recklessly advocating for more bloodshed in Central Africa, by calling for the arrest not only of the LRA's Joseph Kony, but also for the indictment and arrest of Museveni, Kagame and Nkunda, for the war crimes in the DR Congo. Send Enough! a copy of this editorial. (2) Demand that Enough! quit its preposterous campaign of promoting American military involvement in escalating war in Central Africa under the disingenuous excuse of going after Kony. If Museveni could not defeat Kony in 23 years ?though he was able to invade Rwanda and overthrow Juvenal Habyarimana's government in 1994 and invade what was then Zaire and overthrow Mobuttu's government in 1996? what makes Enough so sure that U.S. involvement would lead to Kony's defeat? (3)Contact members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) by going to the Website www.thecongressionalblackcaucus.com. Once on the website click on ?Meet Rep? and you?ll get the list of all the Black members of Congress. Contact them all and urge them to oppose Enough!?s warmongering in Central Africa. (4) Contact Senators Feingold and Brownback and tell them to remove from the Bill any call for U.S. military cooperation with President Museveni, who is possibly an unindicted war criminal as indicated in The Wall Street Journal front page article of June 8, 2006. Brownback's contact: Phone: (202) 224-6521 and Fax: (202) 228-1265 Feingold's contact: (202) 224-5323 and Fax (202) 224-2725 or via e-mail message at: press at feingold.senate.gov. (5) Directly contact President Barack Obama at the White House (202) 456-1414 or www.whitehouse.gov and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the State Department (202) 647-4000 and www.state.gov and tell them not to support any more warfare in Central Africa but to promote a negotiated end to the Uganda conflict. (6) E-mail this column widely: to all your friends, relatives, contacts, general e-mail lists, news organizations, and to all elected officials so as to counter the propaganda of Enough! and help save the lives of innocent people in Central Africa.

Island. They said and I quote; ?Museveni correctly think it is a shame to wrangle over a small territorial dispute when we should be fighting for the creation of an East African Federation.? Check who is talking. Who is it that has invaded another country? If Museveni correctly believe that it is a shame to wrangle over small territorial disputes, why then has he invaded Migingo Islands? Did the person who authored this editorial at the Nation put his mind to proper use before coming up with such an absurdity? Can the Nation quote Museveni on this issue and add the term ?correctly?? Anyway, I do not want to doubt the intentions that inspired the Nation to come up with such an editorial. It brought me to ask myself a few questions. What are the roles of the police and the Army? When they graduate from their respective training colleges, the police swear to uphold and enforce the rule of law in the country. To this extent, when they are on patrol and they come across crime, they do not wait for any orders from anybody else. They act on the spot and the law takes its course. Similarly, when the members of the Armed Forces graduate from their training colleges, they swear to protect the territorial integrity of Kenya from any external aggression. This is their cardinal responsibility. This is why we feed them that lavishly at the barracks. What I would have expected from our armed forces was a report that they had beaten the hell out of these Ugandans and then they wait for orders from their Commander-in-Chief. I did not expect that members of our armed forces will plead luck of orders when Kenya is invaded, while, that is the reason for which they exist. It makes the whole issue of Migingo look very silly. Can Kenyans remember how Museveni took the Okellos in circle during their fight in 1986? Museveni was signing a peace deal with the Okellos and at the same time, tightening his grip on Uganda inch by inch. That is what he is doing with Kenya now. Our ministers travel to Uganda to negotiate about our Island and immediately they return, Museveni adds to more solders to the Island bringing the number to 4. Our ministers and his go to Migingo and an official from the Fisheries Department in Uganda shuts down our Minister in the presence of 2 Provincial Commissioners and Police Commanders, and all hell breaks loose. Our team run to their boat and comes back to safety and immediately Museveni sends in some 2 more police making the number to 6. He then goes to Zambia and meets with our CinC and they agree on spending Kshs 140 million to confirm what we all know; where Migingo is. Immediately they come back, Museveni sends in a Brigadier to take command of the Island and levy new taxes. Thereafter, he sends his spin doctor Mr. Opolot to come and bully our own spin doctor Mr. Alfred Mutura. Opolot made our Mutua tremble with fear at KICC in a charade of a press conference. The following day, he sends his Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Mr. Isaac Isanga Musumba to come and tell us in Nairobi that if we doubt where Migingo is, we can go to hell, sorry, Hague. Surely, can the Nation in their Editorial quote Museveni as correctly thinking that it is a shame to wrangle over a small territorial dispute? Things must be very elephant at the Nation. Or do they know the secret that Mutua and Kibaki are privy to? Odhiambo T Oketch, Komarock Nairobi. Kenyans must demand action over Migingo 2nd April 2009 The world must know that for the last eight months, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has been levying taxes on Kenyans leaving at Migingo Island, an Island in Kenya, 15 Kilometres from Muhuru mainland of Kenya and 260 Kilometres from the nearest mainland in Uganda. This is an act of aggression. During all that time, the world famed ruthlessness of the Kenya Police against Kenyans and the brutality exhibited by the Kenya Army in Mt Elgon and Wagir against Kenyans has been conspicuously absent. The Kenya Police even took off from Migingo at the first sight of 2 armed Police Officers from Uganda. Yesterday, Migosi Raila Odinga was emphatic that Migingo belongs to Kenya and that the Ugandan flag that has been hoisted there for the last eight months must be lowered immediately. He went on to say that only 6% of Lake Victoria belongs to Kenya. As a partner in this government, I would have wanted to hear from him that all those Ugandans at Migingo have been arrested for being in Kenya illegally, and are been detained at Kodiaga Prisons awaiting to appear in Court. If 94% of the Lake belongs to Uganda and Tanzania, then, johana mane ma ooro Museveni mondo okaw Migingo Islands? [What is this madness that has made Museveni invade Kenya?] Why are we negotiating with Museveni? If the Army, the Police and the politicians can not reclaim Migingo, the people will, the people of Kenya must. We will stop all transit vehicles to Uganda, either through rail or road transport. We must stop all transit vehicles either by rail or road into Uganda with immediate effect. It is very simple; 1] The Kenya Police must immediately arrest all those people masquerading as Ugandan Police at Migingo. They are in Kenya illegally. Do not negotiate this. It is so sad when an invader shuts down our Minister in the presence of 2 Provincial Commissioners, the Police Commanders and the press. Why is the Police Commissioner being sent to Uganda to negotiate with the invaders? Why has he never been sent to negotiate with Kenyans in areas of conflict? They cannot fool us! 2] The Armed Forces of Kenya must cease being ornaments best used for passing out parades. They must defend the territorial space of Kenya. They must not negotiate with Museveni over any bit of an inch of Kenya. They must repulse those invaders with the full force that they can. Why move into Elgon and Wagalla with such might and force, and put your tails between your legs when your services are most needed? When Kenya has been invaded? 3] The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Kenya must know that Kenya has been invaded. He must act to protect Kenya and Kenyans. We do not eat new Districts. We eat the fish that Museveni is now controlling at Migingo. For Gods sake, can those people who meet Kibaki daily tell him that Migingo has been invaded and has been under the firm grip of Museveni for the last 8 months? And that he is the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Armed Forces, as Mutula and Kalonzo likes reminding us. Unless he and they know something that we do not know. The Commander-in-Chief?s response to the Migingo crisis, now in its eighth month, leads most of us to confirm that there is a deal between him and Museveni. This deal is a fulfillment of favours earlier extended, or a deal expected in future. And that future is 2012. If we look at how Kibaki has bestrowed Kenya in the past 6 years, I am convinced that the president does not mean well for Kenya. If a part of Kenya can be invaded by a country like Uganda and he keeps silent, then his leadership is wanting. It is also not by surprise that the President has refused to visit that same part of Kenya for the entire period he has been President of Kenya. Museveni had invaded Rwanda and Kagame beat him so quickly and so ruthlessly that he cannot try again. He invaded DRC and again, Kagame came to the rescue of DRC and beat him there. He tried Tanzania and he knew the repercussions. He knows that Tanzanians will beat him and follow him to Kampala and topple him, the way they did with Idi Amin Dada. He tried South Sudan, and the rag tag army of the southern Sudan dared him. They were ready for him any time, day or night. He cannot dare Ethiopia. He knows that Menes Zenawi does not take those kinds of jokes lightly. He then turned to Kenya and invaded Migingo and for eight months, his flag has been high as he collects taxes from Kenyans. The fact that our trigger happy police force could fold their tail and take off speaks volumes. What is the rationale of unleashing too much force on students who are just rioting while you turn a blind eye to an invader? Where is the force needed? Against our own or against the invaders? I cannot believe that our normally ruthless police force could have left Migingo in fear of Museveni. There must have been an order to withdraw. I also do not believe that our ceremonial ornaments in the barracks are that cowardly. They invaded Mt Elgon and beat our own Saboat people ruthlessly. There must have been an order for non interference. If our Army can beat people senseless in Mount Elgon and in Wagir, what can stop them from beating these Ugandans from Migingo? Or, is it that our police and army are at their best against civilians, people who have no guns? People who cannot defend themselves? Surely, if the Police could cordon off Uhuru Park for a whole one month in January 2007, can they surely be so afraid of Museveni and his team at Migingo? If the Police could kill so many Kenyans just to ensure that Kibaki became our President, can they not kill these 2 Ugandans at Migingo? Can they surely be so afraid in Migingo? No. It is not the Police, it is not the Army. It is the Commander-in-Chief. If the President does not want to take action, Kenyans must now defend their territorial integrity. We did it before by uprooting the Railway line to Uganda. We did it before by stopping all transit vehicles through Busia and Malaba. If Uganda has invaded Kenya, and the Kenya Police and Army are under instructions not to intervene, Kenyans must take the law into their hands and protect our boundaries. It is a shame that a rag tag army in Somali can act so swiftly whenever there is territorial violations while an Independent Kenya, cries baby. It is sad to note that the President is doing nothing to promote peace, national healing and reconciliation in Kenya. He is refusing, for purposes of expediency, to be the symbol of national unity. It looks to me like Migongo is an advance post for 2012, and we must view it as such. Kenya must not loose any inch of land, more so to Yoweri Museveni. If the Army and the Police are under instructions not to defend us, let us defend ourselves. Sijivuni kuwa Mkenya!

Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day On the fly? When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply? When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say,'Hi' You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music before the song is over.

Bit of History Black Wall Street: Race Riot of 1921 By early 1921, Tulsa, Oklahoma was a modern city with a population of more than one hundred thousand. It was also a deeply troubled and divided city. Crime rates were high and vigilantism rampant. Like several other states and territories in the early twentieth century, lynchings were not uncommon in Oklahoma. Between 1907 and 1921, thirty-two individuals ? twenty-six of whom were black ? were lynched in Oklahoma. In August 1920, a white mob lynched a Jewish teenager accused of murder. According to newspaper reports, the Tulsa police did little to protect the lynching victim, who was taken from his jail cell at the county courthouse. Most of Tulsa's ten thousand black residents lived in Greenwood, a commercial district so prosperous it was known as "the Negro Wall Street" (now commonly referred to as "the Black Wall Street"). Greenwood was home to two newspapers, several churches, a library branch, and scores of black-owned businesses; many of the residents owned homes in this vibrant black community. There was a great deal of anti-black sentiment and resentment as a result of this commercial success. Around 4 PM on May 31, 1921, Dick Rowland, a nineteen-year old black shoeshiner employed at a Main Street shine parlor, entered the elevator at the rear of the nearby Drexel Building at 319 South Main Street en route to the 'colored' washroom on the top floor. He encountered Sarah Page, the seventeen-year old white elevator operator. It is unclear precisely what transpired between the two young people, but Page screamed and Rowland, no doubt fearing for his life, fled to his mother's house in the Greenwood District. On June 1, Rowland was arrested and detained at the county courthouse. Sensational media reports, claiming Rowland had tried to rape Page, inflamed white sentiment. Offers by armed black men to protect Rowland from vigilantes were turned down. By midnight, a lynch mob had formed. When vigilantes failed to lynch Rowland, the mob turned its anger on blacks, in general, and Greenwood, in particular. Blacks tried to defend their homes and businesses, but they were no match for the air and ground assault that devastated Greenwood. The vast majority of Tulsa's black population was made homeless. Many were rounded up and placed in detention centers. Despite efforts by the white establishment to force the relocation of the black community, within days of the riot, black Tulsans began rebuilding Greenwood. Thousands were forced to spend the winter of 1921-22 living in tents. Once quiet was restored, a brief investigation concluded no assault occurred. In fact, Rowland was later exonerated by an all-white jury that blamed the riot on black Tulsans. The Tulsa riot left an estimated 10,000 homeless, 35 city blocks composed of 1,256 residences were destroyed by fire, and $1.8 million (nearly $21 million in 2007 dollars) in property damage. While a mere thirty-nine people were officially reported killed in the riot, ten of whom were white, a Red Cross report estimated 300 perished. Other estimates range as high as 3,000, based on the number of grave diggers and other circumstances. No archaeological and forensic work needed to confirm the number of dead has been performed. In 1997, the Tulsa Race Riot Commission was created to study and develop an "historical account" of the riot. On February 21, 2001, the Commission delivered its report, which included recommendations for direct payment of reparations to survivors and descendants of the Tulsa race riot, a scholarship fund, establishment of an economic development enterprise zone in the historic area of the Greenwood District and a memorial for the reburial of the remains of the victims of the Tulsa race riot. Falling short of the Commission's recommendations, in June 2001, the Oklahoma state legislature passed the "1921 Tulsa Race Riot Reconciliation Act," which provided 300+ college scholarships for descendants of Greenwood residents, mandated the creation of a memorial to those who died in the riot, and called for new efforts to promote economic development in Greenwood. Five elderly survivors of the riot, led by a legal team including Johnnie Cochran and Charles Ogletree, filed suit against the city of Tulsa and the state of Oklahoma (Alexander, et al., v. Oklahoma, et al.) in February 2003, based on the findings of the 2001 report. The federal district and appellate courts dismissed the suit citing the statute of limitations on the 80-year-old case; the Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal. In April 2007, Ogletree appealed to the U.S. Congress to pass a bill extending the statute of limitations for the case.

These plaintiffs are seeking a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction to compel the Tax Assessor and Chief Appraiser to immediately comply with Section 1 of SB 55, a newly passed state law. SB 55 became affective January 1, 2009; it mandated that "Foreclosure sales, bank sales and other financial institutional owned sales, or distressed sales, or any combination there of; or comparable real property" be considered in determining assessed tax values. Also, assessed values must abide by HB 233, which was signed into law on May 5, 2009; it placed a moratorium on all assessments of "the value on all classes of all subjects of property which are subject to ad valorem taxes." In other words, not only is it possible that the DeKalb County Tax Assessor and Chief Appraiser violated the law in the way they made assessments, but they were barred from increasing property taxes for 2009 as well. Without the diligence of the watchful eye of the DeKalb County Taxpayers Association (DCTA), taxpayers in DeKalb County would be at the mercy of these villains. Organized by Stan Sugarman, a DeKalb resident, DCTA is dedicated to supporting legal action to insure the just enactment and enforcement of laws affecting the citizens and taxpayers of DeKalb County. The DCTA retained Buckhead Attorney John Woodham to represent the interest of DeKalb taxpayers in this suit, but individual property owners must take up the fight against any unjust and illegal effort to use the tax code to bleed DeKalb County property owners to cover revenue shortfalls. As DeKalb County residents and taxpayers, Dot and I have battled the county assessors office almost yearly as the appraised value of our home for tax purposes our taxes has risen from a low of $69,000 in 1998 to a whooping $120,000 for 2008, up from $114,000 in 2006. After being the victim of serial increased assessments on our dwelling for the last decade, this year our appraised land value jumped from $16,000 in 2006 to $27,500 for 2008. We appealed this assessment based on the high number of foreclosures and rental properties in our land lot. However, the Board of Equalization, in denying our appeal, said, "We do not consider foreclosures or bank sales, and your property was considered against comparable properties in other parts of the county, not property in your land lot." The fact that our property sits in the middle of a neighborhood surrounded by foreclosed and rental properties and has had no major improvement in facilities and services over the past decade can be ignored and appraisers can travel to areas where the neighborhoods are better to find similar dwellings and base our assessment on those houses as equal is not only unfair and underhanded but deceptive to buyers. Buyers look at the neighborhood in which a house is located and judge its value based on its surroundings, rather than homes in other land lots. Many DeKalb homeowners find themselves in similar circumstances and tell similar stories, but did not appeal their assessment for 2008 or 2009. But, thanks to the lawsuit initiated by the DCTA, they have the opportunity to address their unfair assessment by joining the DCTA effort. DCTA needs the support of all DeKalb homeowners who received tax increases for 2009. The Tax Assessors' office claimed in the media it was sending out 95,000 notices to residents eligible for reassessments and appeals. I am convinced that the lawsuit is the only way taxpayers can force officials who knowingly break the law to obey it. If you received a tax increase for 2009, you should join the lawsuit. That is the only way you can be sure you get a just hearing and a chance for a reassessment. Just as important, if one hundred residents join the suit, we can demand that the court dismiss the current tax assessor and a new one can be chosen.

Politics Y2K9 SEC Slaps Subprime King on Wrist On Thursday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in Los Angeles filed a civil lawsuit in federal court charging Angelo Mozilo, former CEO of the nation's top home lender- Countrywide Financial - of securities fraud and insider trading. According to federal regulators, Mozilo made more than $139 million in profits in 2006 and 2007 from exercising 5.1 million in stock options and selling the underlying shares. The lawsuit alleges the four prearranged stock trading plans were prepared during the time period in which the sales were executed. That would be about the time the housing market was imploding. Mozilo, who is known for his deep bronze tan, flamboyant attire and aggressive business style, built Countrywide Financial into the nation's top home lender during the housing bubble. At the height of its success in 2006, Countrywide originated $461 billion in home loans. More than $40 billion or nearly 9 percent of the total was in subprime mortgages. In 2007, even as the housing bubble began to deflate with rising home foreclosures and mortgage defaults, Mozilo made millions. Awarded $22.1 million in compensation that year, he also exercised stock options valued at $121.5 million. Mozilo continued to get rich, even though Countrywide was on the verge of collapse. By the end of 2007, with curtailed credit from its lenders, Countrywide was forced to draw down an $11.5 billion credit line that proved insufficient to stem the bleeding as its subprime loans grew more toxic. As the housing market deteriorated, Mozilo maintained the company would survive. In 2008, Bank of America acquired Countrywide for $2.5 billion, less than 10 percent of what the company was worth in early 2007. Earlier this year, Bank of America scrapped the Countrywide name. Mozilo, who is now considered the poster boy of subprime lending, urged mortgage banking executives at a 2008 conference to be careful in blaming themselves for the housing debacle. Instead, Mozilo faults the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates for too long, crooked real estate speculators, falling home prices and regulators' attacks on subprime mortgages. Still rich and tan, Mozilo contends the stock trades were legal. At age 70, Mozilo will more than likely not spend time in jail. He may have to pay a fine, if found guilty. Any penalty he pays for fraud and insider trading will do nothing for the millions of former and current homeowners that lost equity and more as a result of his mortgage lending practices. At this stage in the housing debacle, the SEC's slap on the subprime king's wrist for insider trading and securities fraud are merely window dressing. Hood Notes EEOC Sues Wieland Homes On April 30, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit against Atlanta-based John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods, Inc., a homebuilder that has developed numerous subdivisions in majority black south DeKalb County. The EEOC lawsuit alleges the homebuilder intentionally assigned sales agents to housing communities based on race, a practice that led to black agents earning significantly less than their white counterparts, who were assigned to housing communities where they sold higher-priced homes. According to the EEOC, Wieland Homes' practice of assigning sales agents to housing communities based on race violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Ironically, EEOC began its investigation of Wieland Homes when Michelle Mouser, a white human resources representative, filed a discrimination charge with the agency. Mouser, who was responsible for recruiting sales agents to work onsite at Wieland's new housing communities under construction, said that the company's management expressly stated that the goal was to hire and assign employees whose race corresponded with the predominant population of each community. "Therefore, Mouser was told that she could not hire qualified African-American sales agents for communities with predominantly Caucasian populations. When Mouser complained about the company's discriminatory practices to management officials, no action was taken. Because management failed to act and Mouser could not participate in the illegal hiring practices, she felt forced to resign," according to the EEOC lawsuit. The EEOC is seeking back pay, compensatory and punitive damages for Mouser and the affected African-American sales agents for the period beginning in 2003. The lawsuit is also seeking injunctive relief to prevent discrimination from recurring in the future. According to Bernice Williams-Kimbrough, EEOC's Atlanta district office director, who acknowledges race discrimination is still an insidious, but prevalent form of discrimination, "All employees, regardless of their racial heritage, are entitled to a workplace free of racial discrimination." DISHing It Up Hot! On PEW Report! By Dot The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center in Washington, DC, used demographic and homeownership data provided by the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) and Current Population Survey (CPS), foreclosure data from RealtyTrac?, loan data from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), labor market data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and home prices from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) in compiling its report Through Boom and Bust: Minorities, Immigrants and Homeownership. Published in early May, the report found that the nation's minorities and immigrants experienced greater gains and losses in homeownership over the past decade and a half (1995-2004) than whites. Specifically, the report found that homeownership for all Americans declined from its 2004 peak of 69 percent to 67.8 percent in 2008. The decline in homeownership rates, much like the national pattern of unemployment, fell disproportionately on minority groups, especially black American households. For example, change in the homeownership rate for whites mimicked the decline in the national rate, which fell 1.2 percent. The white homeownership rated peaked in 2004 at 76.1 percent before declining in 2008 to 74.9 percent. On the other hand, while Latinos experienced a longer period of growth in homeownership, peaking in 2006 at 49.8 percent, their 2008 homeownership rate declined 0.9 percent to 48.9 percent. For black Americans, the homeownership rate fell from 49.4 percent in 2004 to 47.5 percent in 2008, by far the largest percentage decline (1.9 percent) of the three demographic groups examined. As a result of the gains and losses over the course of the boom and bust of the housing market, the homeownership gap between white and minority households remains significant. The homeownership rates for Asians (59.1 percent), blacks (47.5 percent) and Latinos (48.9 percent) are well below the 74.9 percent among whites. The Pew report suggests that the homeownership gains experienced by minority households from 1995 to 2004 were disproportionately tied to subprime lending. Blacks and Latinos were more than twice as likely as whites to have subprime loans, which were meant for borrowers with low credit scores and typically required no down payment. Subprime loans also carried higher interest rates than conventional loans. Based on other studies, we know that minorities, especially blacks, were steered into the subprime market, even when their credit scores and incomes were comparable to whites that received conventional loans at lower interest rates. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that, as the economy declined and jobs were lost, minorities, particularly blacks who experience unemployment rates historically twice that of whites, would lose their homes disproportionately in foreclosure as well.

When the new bankruptcy law was passed in 2005, 2 million people rushed into bankruptcy before the law took effect, since bankruptcy filings dropped drastically. Now they're almost back to what they were because, as many consumer advocates expected, bankruptcy was not the purview of the wealthy deadbeats, but is truly the last refuge for those in serious financial trouble who need a way to get a fresh financial start. David Jones, president of the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies, blames the problem on job losses, the disastrous housing market and medical bills. These are the same three things that have driven people to bankruptcy for years . Email www.cnn.com ...Foreclosure: Now an Upscale Blight...By Peter Coy ...With the U.S. economy and financial markets showing signs of life, optimistic analysts are looking for a recovery in the all-important housing sector. They got some ammunition on June 2 from the National Association of Realtors, which said that its Pending Home Sales Index jumped in April by the most in more than seven years. But housing can't revive as long as the market is being flooded with homes that are falling into foreclosure. And far from going away, the problem is broadening. It's not just about subprime anymore. Now, people with excellent credit who never dreamed of getting in financial trouble are being dragged down by a dangerous cycle of rising unemployment and falling home prices. That is going to prolong the foreclosure crisis and, inevitably, inhibit the recovery of the rest of the economy.

It is a controversial, even taboo subject among some, but the fact is that a number of career women are losing their families and homes to their house helps. In their quest for a impressive academic credentials a successful career and enviable social network, they forget to nurture what is probably the most important part of their lives ? their families. The result is that they wake up several years later to find that they have lost their families. Their children have developed into secretive, broody and rebellious teenagers while their husbands, whom they long stopped giving serious thought to, have become emotionally withdrawn and carved out a new life for themselves. Women who have found themselves in such a position will probably relate to Margaret Mwangi. Two years ago, 41-year-old Margaret Mwangi (not her real name), a senior manager in one of the largest banks in the country, thought she had it all. Already a Masters degree holder, she was a year into studying for a PhD in financial management and had won several awards for her outstanding performance. She was earning good money and had extensive contacts. But as she rode the wave of her success, she forgot to channel the same effort and energy she directed at her career towards her husband of 14 years and three children. Margaret would be up by 4 a.m. to get ready for the day?s numerous strategic meetings and for mandatory 30-minute jog around her upmarket neighbourhood. She would leave the house at 6a.m., as her husband and children were waking up to prepare for the day. Thanks to Martha, the efficient and capable house-help she had had for eight years, Margaret knew that her family was in good hands. Martha would prepare a healthy breakfast, ensure that everyone?s clothes, including her husband?s, were ironed and laid out and that their shoes were polished. Given Margaret?s busy schedule, including her daily evening classes which ended at 8p.m., she usually got home at around 9 p.m., tired to the bone. By then, the children were in bed, having had supper and completed their homework with Martha?s help. In Margaret?s mind, she was a good mother and dedicated wife since she ensured that her family was well taken care of. But due to her constant absence from home, her once close and loving relationship with her husband faded, to be replaced by a cordial one, devoid of emotion and passion. Their conversations were perfunctory and usually, after asking about each other day, she would take a shower, have a quick meal then collapse in bed, exhausted, with things that needed to be done at work the next day going in her mind. She could not even recall the last time she and her husband had been intimate, but this did not really bother her. According to her, all marriages lost the initial fire they had after a couple of years. After all, hadn?t her friends confessed that they were going through a similar experiences? That?s why Margaret was shell-shocked when her 45-year-old husband announced that he was marrying another woman last year. But nothing could have prepared her for the bombshell that he dropped shortly thereafter ? the other woman was Martha! ? How could he do this to her after she had worked so hard so that they could all have a good life and a secure future? It is not like he or the children had been neglected ? they lived in a clean home, had healthy, wholesome food everyday and led organised lives, she argued, as she tried to come to terms with the shocking news. But when her husband pointed out that it was their live-in house help who did all these for the family, the argument instantly fizzled out. During the last five years of their marriage, Martha had practically usurped Margaret?s roles of wife and mother. She cooked for and served the man of the house, washed, ironed and laid out his clothes and dutifully cleaned and polished his shoes everyday. She even made the couple?s bed, as well washed and changed the linen because Margaret often left early in the morning and returned late at night. But more important, Martha had raised the couple?s three children almost single-handedly. When they were young, she would wake up in the middle of the night to lull them back to sleep or warm them a bottle of milk because their mother would be too exhausted to do it. And when they started going to school, she walked them to the bus stop, picked them up in the evening and helped them with their homework. ?How then can you claim that you are my wife and mother of my children if someone else has been doing what you should be doing?? her husband had retorted when she asked how he could embarrass her by having an affair with their house help right under her own roof. Not ready to live in the same house or share her husband with Martha, Margaret walked out of the marriage with the children. Although she can offer them the comfortable life they were used to, re-learning how to be a mother to her children is proving very difficult. The older two, a boy and a girl, are teenagers. Sulky, disobedient, and disrespectful, they are constantly getting into trouble at school. The other, now eight, is clingy, teary and has not stopped asking when they will move back home to ?daddy and auntie?. Margaret recently learnt that her former house help, a single mother of two, had given birth to a baby girl, who had been named after her husband?s mother. Margaret?s case clearly demonstrates the situation in which many women find themselves after entrusting their family?s welfare and the running of their households to their house- helps. This often unappreciated and underrated woman is the one who draws up the budget, does the shopping, decides what meals to prepare and sometimes even rushes the children to hospital when they fall sick. And it is she who helps them cope with the unsettling changes that take place during teenage. It is no wonder, then, that some mothers don?t even know when her daughters had their first period, and that would be shocked to learn that they have actually reached this milestone. The result is that such children grow up to be comfortable with their house-helps and prefer to go to them for advice rather than to their own mothers, since they have not formed a close bond with her. ? Under their noses It is these same house-helps who wait on their husbands, take their bath water to the bathroom, make their tea just the way they like it and have since discovered what makes them tick, what makes them happy and what sets them off. Yet wives are surprised when they discover that their husbands are having an affair with the house help right under their noses. One of the women Saturday magazine talked to, a lecturer and professional counsellor, confessed that two years ago, her marriage was almost broke up because of the amount of time she was spending at work. ?Between my clinic and lectures, I did not realise just how little time I spent at home because I was always rushing somewhere,? she recalls. It wasn?t until she overheard her house girl of two years asking her husband whether she should prepare for him ?the usual tangawizi and lemon? to treat his cold that the alarm bells went off. ?My husband had never asked me to make him anything for his cold and, worse still, I had not even noticed that he was unwell,? she says, adding that this is what jolted her to take action. The following week, she gave up three classes, which meant that she could get home early at least three evenings a week to prepare the evening meal and have some quality time with her husband. ?I don?t think there is any married woman who believes her husband can have an affair with the house help, or worse, leave her for one, but what we forget is that she, too, is a woman and that human beingsare naturally drawn to those who treat them well and show them that they matter,? she says. She says that since then, she has been doing more for her husband, including serving him food, preparing his meals once in a while and spending more time with him. ?Our relationship has improved, and although I am earning less than I used to, I am more relaxed and have more time for myself,? she observes. Which brings us to the question ? is it really possible for women to have the best of both worlds? Is it possible for women to have outstanding careers as well as happy and contented families? Kenyan women have been fighting for equality for quite some time now, and they are getting it. They are rising to positions once reserved for men and earning as much as, if not more, than them. But at what price? ? According to an article published in the The Mail of UK recently, women may have won the fight for equality, but ?It has left many of them imprisoned and exhausted?. This is according to Erin Pizzey, a British women?s rights activist and author. Pizzey adds that the idea of women happily combining career and a family has turned out to be a myth. In the article by Paul Revoir, she observes that women?s freedom of choice to have both has left them with less spare time than they had before, and as a result, lost something very important. ?Many women don?t have a choice now, they have to work, they have to work hard, and I just see an exhausted generation of women trying to do it all.? Pizzey?s views are supported by Helen Fielding, author of the popular Bridget Jones series of novels, who criticised women who aspire to ?have it all?. In an article published in a recent issue of The Daily Mail of the UK, Fielding is quoted as saying that many young women today struggle to have successful careers and families in an idealistic society that expects them to balance these roles perfectly, a battle that leaves them ?confused?. ?They feel they should be getting up at six in the morning and going to the gym, then doing a full day?s work, coming back late and feeding 12 people for dinner. It?s a modern disease,? she is quoted as saying. Explaining why it is not possible for women to have it all, she argues that there are only so many hours in a day and as a result, you either spend most of them at work, or at home raising children and making a home. -- Regards Josephine Kamanthe +254723736086 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

If these leaders can wield their authority during a crisis like now by effectively focusing the combined power of their group, then they are able to attack problems like a fierce tiger with wings, flying over the four seas, going into action confidently whenever there is an opportunity. If leaders loses their authority and cannot focus the power of their group like in Kenya today, they are like dragons cast into a lake, they may seek the freedom of the high seas, but they are trapped and cannot get loose. Most of the time a leader will not be able to please everyone I hope Kibaki and Raila knows that or do they?. since this is true, if a leader? have a choice, it is probably better those who are competent and displease those who are not just to make Kenya move forward. We as Kenyans we have disappointed President Obama very much: This includes, Kibaki, Raila, Mps, Ministers you and me, infact all carrying the Kenyan name etc. Here we see Obama a man who worked very hard to achieve what he has got today. I remember Obama`s campain time: He Obama placed his father on the forefront during his fight for the top job, the man was not and has not in any minute been a shamed of his fathers country or his fathers background, Kenya. Obama visited even the kenyan slums. He placed his Kenyan roots first in all his fighting for the top job. BUT what have Kenyans done?. We have just let the man down completely just by simple humanbeing stupidity, greed,? and ignorance. Kenya would have been the first country to tap the development opportunity between USA and Africa. But instead what do Kenyans now get?. Even the simple Delta airlines which was supposed to fly to Nairobi now is not going to travel? to Nairobi may be until after 2012, you might be suprised that the airline will be visiting Ghana very soon. It is? ashame that even the USA ambassonder in Nairobi have seen that it is a waste of time talking to Mps and instead is directly now talking to the youths. Will the youths also do what the Mps have done or show same intelligence?. What our Mps does not know is that when a top USA ambassoder is talking to youths, he is not doing it from his own head but those are direct notes from the white house. The Kenyan present governmnet is a let down and it is already registering a lower economy than what Somalian pirates and thugs are generating in Somalia today. Infact this government is just a waste of tax payers money and? it is just? like a degrading sewage to the black race again. This governmnet is taking blacks to the dark days when the British used to say these words:` Blacks do not have the brain to rule themselves`, When we British came to Kenya they were still sleeping with goats in the same house; no cl?thes etc`We the British are the ones who gave them clothes and told them how to read and write their names etc kind of staff``. I hear that Kenya economy is not far much better than Mugabe`s so guys where is the coalition government that most of the Kenyan elites wanted to be give a chance has taken Kenyans to?. To Kenyans living in USA, it is time to stand up and bring the kenyan glory back, do not sleep it is not the right time to go to bed yet. The USA president is very proud of his fathers roots and is just looking for a better Kenyan who can bring that glory back, a kenyan who have peoples heart and is for the common man. That is the point Kibaki and Raila have completely missed. Any intelligent humanbeing, who had time to listen to Obama`s speech to the muslims must have grabbed the idea and the main point. I hope Raila and Kibaki had time to digest it or is Obama to complicated to be understood?. Paul Nyandoto -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have always regarded the Kenyan schools and universities as one of the most developed in African continent. Infact in Kenya we have very good mathematics teachers and one of the so called Mathematician professor sits in the present parliament (Saitoti). So since when did we Kenyans realised that 2,5 million Kenyan shillings a month for somebody like Ringera is the right figure?. Do Kenyans know what 2,5 million Kenyan shillings is worth?. 2,5 Million Kenyan shillings is 25 000.00 euros and is equivalent to 32 500.00 USA dollars. Can somebody with the right mind tell us what this Ringera is doing to deserve such a monthly salary?. Kenya gets economic aid from countries like Finland, Sweden, Denmark, USA, China etc. But do you know that 25 000.00 euros a month is more than 2 times the Finnish president`s salary?. So are we really brainy Kenyans?. Let us now look at this figure in cost effectiveness terms: What has this precious Ringera done since he was given the docket he is heading?. How much has he generated interms of kenyan shillings since he got that job?. How much money stolen abroad have Ringera brought back in Kenya to back up his salary?. And how many Kenyans have to work in a month to generate such a tax for his salary?. Just image the lowest payed jobs salary in Kenya today: what is their salary and how much do they pay tax to generate Ringera`s salary?. Even during the British colonial rule Africans never used to work all that hard to pay a stupid figure like Ringera such a salary. So why are Kenyans colonising fellow Kenyans today?. The Kenyan elites are already eating more than the country is producing. Kenyans living today 2009 have already consuming what is supposed to be used in the year 2030, is this a joke or just stupidity?. I do think it is high time the Kenyan Diaspora start a big rebellion against all Kenyan politicians running outside Kenya seeking for economic aid to Kenya. It is our responsibility we the Diapora to tell all these governments we are now living in the truth where all the money they pour in Kenya are ending in. Who really gains from all these money foreign governments are giving Kenya interms of economic aids has to stop until this so called coalition governmnet sits down and start doing some business. The best way to make a fool realise his mistakes is to cut his aids. Paul Nyandoto -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am a Kenyan and I see it is a characteristic of Kenyans - tell me how many stories you see on the front page of the Nation or Standard that you believe immediately as you would the Bible... My point is - it is in our culture and we need a paradigm shift to move towards fact-based, consistent information oof integrity. I see somethings fom the outside living in Canada where you malign an entity, false advertisement, gossip/rumour-mongering, information without justice, etc - in Canada you get sued for it...and law suits ACTUALLY bring IMMEDIATE results...Our suits in Kenya can take years...It is TIME FOR CHANGE and CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN - and if EVERYONE cleans their own doorstep - imagine what a beautifully clean world we would have!!! So if I offended anyone by calling us subject to rumour-mongering, please - that was not my message - it is just your interpretation.

Message-ID: <488942.66809.qm@web38701.mail.mud.yahoo.com> It's no secret that the good Lord speaks to us through His written word-the scriptures! Equally true, is the fact that from time to time, the good Lord goes an extra mile by talking to certain individuals, more particularly those who cry daily at the feet of the cross to know His will in their lives! I have heard of many cases, when the Lord has spoken to His people through dreams, by directing them to particular Bible scriptures, or even by leading them to a particular church! When I was but young, way before I knew Him, I dreamed several times of the end of the world! I even saw,fire coming from above and God destroying my entire family! Then, I had no idea what it was all about! Many years later, I had even more scaring dreams, whereby I saw myself totally lost. This was the time when I fell in love with the city of Nairobi, Kenya, and resisted the call to pastoral ministry! The good Lord won in ways that I look back and marvel! Has the Lord ever spoken to you directly-asking you to change course, read a particular portion of Scriptures, or even asking you to move from the church of your childhood/your parents or that you love so dearly and have vowed never to part way with it? Is it possible that you have resisted the call days without number, giving all kinds of excuses? Well, you and I need not to be stubborn any longer! As a matter of fact, there is need to re-train ourselves to listen whenever the Lord speaks! Will I? Will you?

As always, we appreciate your valued feedback. Last Friday, Kara received the all-important backing by key religious organizations on joint initiatives on restoration and protection of Kenya's environment. Together with religious leaders, we will soon announce a roadmap on the various activities we intend to focus upon. Next Tuesday (16/06/09) afternoon and on post-budget analysis, all roads will lead to the 15th session of the KARA Bimonthly Talk Series on "Budget 2009/10 Estimates and Global Economic Crisis Implications". Details will follow shortly. On the proposed City Council of Nairobi draft by-laws, we ask you to send your views to research at kara.or.ke we will compile our position and hand in to City Hall. We are glad you are reading us. Editor Budget 2009/10 and Global Economic Crisis Implications: The KARA Bimonthly Talk Series (BTS) is Kenya's leading public forum from the best of both worlds - government on one hand and the non-state actors on the other. As you are aware, the national budget for fiscal year 2009/10 will be read this Thursday 11th June. As part of our post-budget analysis, we will bring you the BTS 15 on "Budget 2009/10 and Global Economic Crisis Implications" on Tuesday, the 16th June from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm. We will separately be announcing a mix of panelists who meet your taste and value-addition. We appreciate our BTS program partners Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Ford Foundation for their continued support. "Uncivilized Masters" or Civil Servants - "Top 50, Bottom 50": Forget politicians, it is true that technocrats run the government. Many at times, you will even find MP's waiting at the receptions chasing for favours. With your support, Neighbourhood Kenya's July/August edition will be listing the top 50 best performing and more importantly accessible civil servants. They could be Permanent Secretaries; CEO's of parastatals, government agencies or Local Authorities. As such, we want to give you chance to mention the civil servants you believe are most accessible by either face to face meetings; telephone or by letters. They respond quickly and leave you with a smile as a taxpayer. On the other hand, there are "Uncivilized Masters". They purport or act with impunity, arrogance and they are simply inaccessible.

I think it is a worldwide sickness among priests and religious and we hope that every congregation, order, and society will have to look more seriously on how they would give a disciplinary action not merely suspending or sending them to another country to escape the scandal. Or is it the kind of formation in the priesthood and the religious congregations that this issue on sexual abuse is being tolerated? Is there anything that the People for Peace in Africa can offer in order not just to publish issues but to also give them a more intensive care and radical change in their behaviour? I still remember one of our Kenyan sisters having taken advantaged and impregnated by even a Provincial superior of an African Congregation founded in Uganda and has its headquarters in Kenya. The man was behaving as though he was very helpful and kind and gentle to my dismay, he doesn't know how to handle his own sexual feelings and urges. The mater was brought to the attention of their General superior but to my surprise this priest was removed from where he was a parish priest to Nairobi. Our sister was dumped and left terribly traumatized and helpless. I hope the congregation is honest and true enough to help that sister morally and financially. Until today that sister is terribly disturbed and sleepless. For sure editor, can the superior general be human enough to think of this sister? It's a pity that the lady has to decide to leave the religious life but thanks to God she decided to have the child instead of aborting it. Some of his confreres knew about it but it is a pity that nobody dared to confront or challenge the superior. Can PPA do on her behalf? I am sorry to share this to you. I am just felt very sad that Africa is not spared of that issue you are sharing. There might be even more cases out there no attention paid. Castrating might frighten some that sounds ridiculous. But if a religious order, society would be courageous enough to care- for a member who is found sexually abusive... and accompany him instead of condoning his bad behaviour, or by simply being silent about it, or simply sending him out of the country- priests/or even sisters who behave like that do not have "Creed" friends. (Creed Friends who love and care for their spiritual well being and understood what they are being called for by God.) It is a pity that they can be friendly but friend in need only! They may have friends in deed but they do the same abusive deeds- that's where the problem is! Well, we keep praying for more mature priests, religious and your organization in keeping on exposing these scandals. God bless.

Last week was an exciting time to be a Democrat in New Jersey. First, on Tuesday, Governor Corzine kicked off his re-election campaign in style with none other than Vice President Joe Biden alongside him. Gov. Corzine told the crowd of more than 3,000 enthusiastic supporters at the Richard Codey Arena in West Orange that he?s "Going to fight like hell for the values that we share." Then, on Thursday, a packed house at NJPAC in Newark saw a spectacular acoustic performance from Jersey?s own Jon Bon Jovi in support of Governor Corzine. The rock legend played his hits "Who Says You Can't Go Home" and "Livin? On A Prayer." Seventy women?many running for office this year?participated in free workshops as part of the Step Up! Democratic Women?s Campaign Training held at the Rutgers Labor Education Center in New Brunswick on Saturday. Participants learned valuable tricks of the trade from campaign veterans and elected officials?everything from crafting a message to raising money for a local race?as they geared up for their own campaigns. It was outstanding to hear from women who told me the panelists offered "real life solutions to issues" and that it was "encouraging to hear what others have had to overcome to win office." Tens of thousands of people throughout the state and the country also came together this weekend for the Health Care Organizing Kickoff, hosting house parties in their communities to begin to organize for quality, affordable healthcare for every American. Real reform is now possible, and these events are an opportunity to start the dialogue, building support one block, one neighbor, one conversation at a time. Host or attend a Health Care Organizing event! Watch President Obama?s Health Care Message! I look ahead to many more great events this campaign season and I hope you will join me. There?s a lot of work left to do ? working to re-elect our Governor to keep New Jersey moving forward and taking up the challenge to do our part for President Obama?s ambitious agenda to keep our country moving forward. Sincerely, Joe Cryan Chairman, NJ Democratic State Committee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This holier than thou attitude doesn't solve anything.the whole article is male bashing and? like it is the norm nowadays is coming from yet another woman who is an authority on men and how they behave.In society there are misfits and they are both men and women but women like blaming men for their problems.The wife who sleeps with the shamba boy is lonely but if its a man with the househelp all men behave so.What about the career women sleeping with their bosses? If both parties are married who has brain cancer there? If you decide to be a career woman what motivation do you need? It was your choice.Do you see any man saying he needs encouragement to go to work?Asking the man to be this or that towards you again amounts to the woman trying to dictate to the man how to behave.If you don't like someone's character it means you two are incompatible.Not trying to change every single man you meet then when all else fails you run to your friends crying about how the man 'in your life' is such a big baby. On finances,leave any man to himself and he will be fine.Its the myriad things women want that make this income fall short.To that womenfolk will answer that is a man's duty to take care of the home but it is impossible with the current demands(bills) women have As for Margaret's case,men are very practical beings(I will not speak for women).What the husband wanted was a wife and mother to his chidren and she was not being that.Getting married to the househelp again is about being pragmatic. As men we can marry from any social class.Getting 'taken care of' is not part of the deal.We view people for what they are not what they have. ? ?

Regards. ? Judy Miriga Diaspora Spokesperson Executive Director Confederation Council Foundation for Africa Inc., USA http://socioeconomicforum50.blogspot.com ? It is a controversial, even taboo subject among some, but the fact is that a number of career women are losing their families and homes to their house helps. In their quest for a impressive academic credentials a successful career and enviable social network, they forget to nurture what is probably the most important part of their lives ? their families. The result is that they wake up several years later to find that they have lost their families. Their children have developed into secretive, broody and rebellious teenagers while their husbands, whom they long stopped giving serious thought to, have become emotionally withdrawn and carved out a new life for themselves. Women who have found themselves in such a position will probably relate to Margaret Mwangi. Two years ago, 41-year-old Margaret Mwangi (not her real name), a senior manager in one of the largest banks in the country, thought she had it all. Already a Masters degree holder, she was a year into studying for a PhD in financial management and had won several awards for her outstanding performance. She was earning good money and had extensive contacts. But as she rode the wave of her success, she forgot to channel the same effort and energy she directed at her career towards her husband of 14 years and three children. Margaret would be up by 4 a.m. to get ready for the day?s numerous strategic meetings and for mandatory 30-minute jog around her upmarket neighbourhood. She would leave the house at 6a.m., as her husband and children were waking up to prepare for the day. Thanks to Martha, the efficient and capable house-help she had had for eight years, Margaret knew that her family was in good hands. Martha would prepare a healthy breakfast, ensure that everyone?s clothes, including her husband?s, were ironed and laid out and that their shoes were polished. Given Margaret?s busy schedule, including her daily evening classes which ended at 8p.m., she usually got home at around 9 p.m., tired to the bone. By then, the children were in bed, having had supper and completed their homework with Martha?s help. In Margaret?s mind, she was a good mother and dedicated wife since she ensured that her family was well taken care of. But due to her constant absence from home, her once close and loving relationship with her husband faded, to be replaced by a cordial one, devoid of emotion and passion. Their conversations were perfunctory and usually, after asking about each other day, she would take a shower, have a quick meal then collapse in bed, exhausted, with things that needed to be done at work the next day going in her mind. She could not even recall the last time she and her husband had been intimate, but this did not really bother her. According to her, all marriages lost the initial fire they had after a couple of years. After all, hadn?t her friends confessed that they were going through a similar experiences? That?s why Margaret was shell-shocked when her 45-year-old husband announced that he was marrying another woman last year. But nothing could have prepared her for the bombshell that he dropped shortly thereafter ? the other woman was Martha! ? How could he do this to her after she had worked so hard so that they could all have a good life and a secure future? It is not like he or the children had been neglected ? they lived in a clean home, had healthy, wholesome food everyday and led organised lives, she argued, as she tried to come to terms with the shocking news. But when her husband pointed out that it was their live-in house help who did all these for the family, the argument instantly fizzled out. During the last five years of their marriage, Martha had practically usurped Margaret?s roles of wife and mother. She cooked for and served the man of the house, washed, ironed and laid out his clothes and dutifully cleaned and polished his shoes everyday. She even made the couple?s bed, as well washed and changed the linen because Margaret often left early in the morning and returned late at night. But more important, Martha had raised the couple?s three children almost single-handedly. When they were young, she would wake up in the middle of the night to lull them back to sleep or warm them a bottle of milk because their mother would be too exhausted to do it. And when they started going to school, she walked them to the bus stop, picked them up in the evening and helped them with their homework. ?How then can you claim that you are my wife and mother of my children if someone else has been doing what you should be doing?? her husband had retorted when she asked how he could embarrass her by having an affair with their house help right under her own roof. Not ready to live in the same house or share her husband with Martha, Margaret walked out of the marriage with the children. Although she can offer them the comfortable life they were used to, re-learning how to be a mother to her children is proving very difficult. The older two, a boy and a girl, are teenagers. Sulky, disobedient, and disrespectful, they are constantly getting into trouble at school. The other, now eight, is clingy, teary and has not stopped asking when they will move back home to ?daddy and auntie?. Margaret recently learnt that her former house help, a single mother of two, had given birth to a baby girl, who had been named after her husband?s mother. Margaret?s case clearly demonstrates the situation in which many women find themselves after entrusting their family?s welfare and the running of their households to their house- helps. This often unappreciated and underrated woman is the one who draws up the budget, does the shopping, decides what meals to prepare and sometimes even rushes the children to hospital when they fall sick. And it is she who helps them cope with the unsettling changes that take place during teenage. It is no wonder, then, that some mothers don?t even know when her daughters had their first period, and that would be shocked to learn that they have actually reached this milestone. The result is that such children grow up to be comfortable with their house-helps and prefer to go to them for advice rather than to their own mothers, since they have not formed a close bond with her. ? Under their noses It is these same house-helps who wait on their husbands, take their bath water to the bathroom, make their tea just the way they like it and have since discovered what makes them tick, what makes them happy and what sets them off. Yet wives are surprised when they discover that their husbands are having an affair with the house help right under their noses. One of the women Saturday magazine talked to, a lecturer and professional counsellor, confessed that two years ago, her marriage was almost broke up because of the amount of time she was spending at work. ?Between my clinic and lectures, I did not realise just how little time I spent at home because I was always rushing somewhere,? she recalls. It wasn?t until she overheard her house girl of two years asking her husband whether she should prepare for him ?the usual tangawizi and lemon? to treat his cold that the alarm bells went off. ?My husband had never asked me to make him anything for his cold and, worse still, I had not even noticed that he was unwell,? she says, adding that this is what jolted her to take action. The following week, she gave up three classes, which meant that she could get home early at least three evenings a week to prepare the evening meal and have some quality time with her husband. ?I don?t think there is any married woman who believes her husband can have an affair with the house help, or worse, leave her for one, but what we forget is that she, too, is a woman and that human beingsare naturally drawn to those who treat them well and show them that they matter,? she says. She says that since then, she has been doing more for her husband, including serving him food, preparing his meals once in a while and spending more time with him. ?Our relationship has improved, and although I am earning less than I used to, I am more relaxed and have more time for myself,? she observes. Which brings us to the question ? is it really possible for women to have the best of both worlds? Is it possible for women to have outstanding careers as well as happy and contented families? Kenyan women have been fighting for equality for quite some time now, and they are getting it. They are rising to positions once reserved for men and earning as much as, if not more, than them. But at what price? ? According to an article published in the The Mail of UK recently, women may have won the fight for equality, but ?It has left many of them imprisoned and exhausted?. This is according to Erin Pizzey, a British women?s rights activist and author. Pizzey adds that the idea of women happily combining career and a family has turned out to be a myth. In the article by Paul Revoir, she observes that women?s freedom of choice to have both has left them with less spare time than they had before, and as a result, lost something very important. ?Many women don?t have a choice now, they have to work, they have to work hard, and I just see an exhausted generation of women trying to do it all.? Pizzey?s views are supported by Helen Fielding, author of the popular Bridget Jones series of novels, who criticised women who aspire to ?have it all?. In an article published in a recent issue of The Daily Mail of the UK, Fielding is quoted as saying that many young women today struggle to have successful careers and families in an idealistic society that expects them to balance these roles perfectly, a battle that leaves them ?confused?. ?They feel they should be getting up at six in the morning and going to the gym, then doing a full day?s work, coming back late and feeding 12 people for dinner. It?s a modern disease,? she is quoted as saying. Explaining why it is not possible for women to have it all, she argues that there are only so many hours in a day and as a result, you either spend most of them at work, or at home raising children and making a home. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Message-ID: <859522.50752.qm@web38703.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Caro, Questions like the one you have raised are better left to the family! Why? No one understands best your situation except you and your husband! So what? Here is my take! -I know only of one who can give you a satisfactory answer-the man of Galilee. He alone knows the end from the beginning! -I admire your desire of going for further studies and feel that you should pursue it, but then there is a side effect to it! Which one? In the process you might loose your family! -I suggest that you and your husband take a look at this issue one more time! Ask yourself very tough questions and in doing so, please be open minded! -Much as we think that we know a lot of things,we men are not good at taking care of kids! Even when we feel that we have done our best, children,tend to think that we men know nothing! I will share with you personal experience. My wife is a nurse. Due to her busy schedule, I take upon myself to cook. Do I need to tell you how much they complain? Should I blame them? Well, I don't think so. Caro, all I can do, is to pray for your family!

Of course we are both, imbeciles and stupid, ...hellloooo! We Kenyans are some of the most gullible bunch on earth and these geniuses in government figured out this fact long long time ago. Ringera's pay and that of his cronies at KACC is a complete loss and joke to Kenya. We the tax payers have paid more to these "honorables" than they have recovered; all they have offered is the rhetorical talking? points about money recovered or these assets recovered and idle threats to extort potential criminals, that is it!

Do we Kenyans have the God given brain or we are just? imbecile?. I have always regarded the Kenyan schools and universities as one of the most developed in African continent. Infact in Kenya we have very good mathematics teachers and one of the so called Mathematician professor sits in the present parliament (Saitoti). So since? when did we Kenyans realised that 2,5 million Kenyan shillings a month for somebody like Ringera is the right figure?. ? Do?Kenyans ?know what 2,5 million Kenyan shillings is worth?. ? 2,5 Million Kenyan shillings is 25 000.00 euros and is equivalent to? 32 500.00 USA dollars. Can somebody with the right mind tell us what this Ringera is doing to deserve such a monthly salary?. Kenya gets economic aid from countries like Finland, Sweden, Denmark, USA, China??etc. But do you know that 25 000.00 euros a month is more than 2 times the Finnish president`s salary?. So are we really brainy Kenyans?. ? Let us now look at this figure in cost effectiveness terms: What has this precious Ringera done since he was given the docket he is heading?. How much has he generated interms of kenyan shillings since he got that job?. How much money stolen abroad have Ringera brought back in Kenya ?to back up his salary?.?And how many Kenyans have to work in a month to generate such a tax for his salary?. Just image the lowest payed jobs salary in Kenya today: what is their salary and how much do they pay tax to generate Ringera`s salary?.?Even during the British colonial rule Africans never used to work all that hard to pay a stupid figure like Ringera such a salary. So why are Kenyans colonising fellow Kenyans today?.?The?Kenyan elites ?are already eating more than the country is producing. Kenyans? living today 2009 have already consuming what is supposed to be used in the year 2030, is this a joke or just stupidity?. I do think it is high time the Kenyan Diaspora start a big rebellion against all Kenyan politicians running outside Kenya seeking for economic aid to Kenya. It is our responsibility we the Diapora to tell all these governments we are now living in the truth where all the money they pour in Kenya are ending in. Who really gains from all these money foreign governments?are giving Kenya interms of economic aids has to stop until this so called coalition governmnet sits down and start doing some business.

It is not only that Kenyans are gullible, for some reason I also think most Kenyans are born without a conscience or somewhere along the line, our societal values cease to emphasise that there are certain things that your?"inner mind" cannot allow you to do. ? Now, these kind of fellows who refuse to resign even when their actions have led to the deaths of other human beings, refuse to acknowledge?or even take blame for obvious guilt; these men and women are as good as a man who makes love to say, a goat. ? This is what having a conscience is all about. If Ringera can happily collect his fat pay every month for the last several years for work not done, no tangible results, nothing to show for it, I can as well equate him to a man who makes love to a goat. Both?clearly lack conscience,the inner self that tells?you this is wrong or right. ? But being that this is Kenya, where conscience is in short supply and guilt is a feeling alien and far removed?for many, he, Gicheru and?Amos Wako can smile along as they collect fat paychecks for defrauding the poor working lot of their?hard earned pay. ? Shame too, is?something they have never known. ? Sungu Otieno.

Do we Kenyans have the God given brain or we are just? imbecile?. I have always regarded the Kenyan schools and universities as one of the most developed in African continent. Infact in Kenya we have very good mathematics teachers and one of the so called Mathematician professor sits in the present parliament (Saitoti). So since? when did we Kenyans realised that 2,5 million Kenyan shillings a month for somebody like Ringera is the right figure?. ? Do?Kenyans ?know what 2,5 million Kenyan shillings is worth?. ? 2,5 Million Kenyan shillings is 25 000.00 euros and is equivalent to? 32 500.00 USA dollars. Can somebody with the right mind tell us what this Ringera is doing to deserve such a monthly salary?. Kenya gets economic aid from countries like Finland, Sweden, Denmark, USA, China??etc. But do you know that 25 000.00 euros a month is more than 2 times the Finnish president`s salary?. So are we really brainy Kenyans?. ? Let us now look at this figure in cost effectiveness terms: What has this precious Ringera done since he was given the docket he is heading?. How much has he generated interms of kenyan shillings since he got that job?. How much money stolen abroad have Ringera brought back in Kenya ?to back up his salary?.?And how many Kenyans have to work in a month to generate such a tax for his salary?. Just image the lowest payed jobs salary in Kenya today: what is their salary and how much do they pay tax to generate Ringera`s salary?.?Even during the British colonial rule Africans never used to work all that hard to pay a stupid figure like Ringera such a salary. So why are Kenyans colonising fellow Kenyans today?.?The?Kenyan elites ?are already eating more than the country is producing. Kenyans? living today 2009 have already consuming what is supposed to be used in the year 2030, is this a joke or just stupidity?. I do think it is high time the Kenyan Diaspora start a big rebellion against all Kenyan politicians running outside Kenya seeking for economic aid to Kenya. It is our responsibility we the Diapora to tell all these governments we are now living in the truth where all the money they pour in Kenya are ending in. Who really gains from all these money foreign governments?are giving Kenya interms of economic aids has to stop until this so called coalition governmnet sits down and start doing some business. The best way to? make a fool realise his mistakes is to cut his aids. ?

Message-ID: <724749.86952.qm@web51904.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Carolyn, ? I can feel you.? ? But before I respond this is what I?would like?to share?according to?traditional perspective?and culture?that for years have?placed women at a disadvantage in achieving educational potentials?for?higher learnings.?Yet on the otherside, if you wish to wait to get married after achieving PHD you will be treated as hard stuff for marriage, that you now know too much. Many would treat women going away from home for further learning is seen and treated as a taboo.? And this is wrong. Men also once you are married assume women should not move away from home to pursue further education and will find all reason to discourage you because of too much responsibilities as well as insecurity. ? If I have to give my advice, both ways works well?depending on the mind set of an individual and how they will counsel with the husband and reason her case out.? Some men even with the best reasoning they will not buy your case.? Many of this type of men feel challenged?when women lookforward to higher learning.? But hey, this is a chance you cannot let go, especially in this generation. ? Now coming to your case, and through my experience, it worked well with me.? I had left my family behind i.e. my husband and children,?who joined me afterwards. It?was a big challenge with?responsibilities?and lots?of test on my husband side.? ? Other women find it an opportunity to ween your husband over, or inlaws clawing in taking advantage of your absence to close in for renewed relationship with unwelcome idiologies, things they would not do in your presence.??They will then create reasons that your husband is hungry for sex and times are not good to?fool around, so he need a permanent women in the house to service his sexual needs. ? So there are consequences in leaving your husband behind, it would be best you?go abroad both of you, but since he already have his PHD there are lots of competition out here it might not be good for him?unless?he is a kind of person who can adjust easily and take alternative jobs not of his professionalism to push on until he settles down.? That would be good for the children but I?bet not your husband.? You can start by shoping a job for him in the UN job bulletin such like but I would not advice you leave him behind.? Women back at home are desparate and have turned into vultures.? They are ready to abandon their own family to enjoin with your husband.? They will ravenously attack your husband and before you know it, he has been stolen.? Then afterwords, he will look like a?chicken submerged into water, not knowing what or how it happened.? ? Your career advancement is important to both of you and your family. It is an investment no one should take lightly.? You must talk to your husband again and again and again.? Make sure you exhausts all options and identify who are the benefitiaries, those?would finally will gain from your educational achievements.? People who feed him with stories do not belong to your family member, so in actual sense, it is him and you to both decide.? However, having said that, I cannot give 100% credit?to women too, I have seen some come out here and after tasting independent life, they?change and abandon their husband, that again would be the men?fear, I cannot blame them.? So when discussing, you need to address his side of fears as well and make sure you have covered all sides of the weaknesses before you settle on whether he comes along with you or he remains with the children behind. ? This is a matter both?men and women must take into consideration?and discuss very exhaustively and seriously and both must adjust and appreciate and accept its a challenge facing the family and a?dangerous test of their marriage.? Men should appreciate women's achievements and encourage them with love. ? This is where you can tell a true man?from a fake one, a true woman?from a?materialistic type. It is at this test you can weigh commitments to marriages.......For Better For Worse?Until Death Do Us Part............It is from where you can tell whether your marriage was formed on a quick sand or a firm ground.........many men as opposed to women dont take marriages seriously, they get involved from sexual passion urge without consulting the inner part then assuming it is the True Love.? This type of love do not last.? When you are out of sight, you are out of love. The Domestic family can only be sustained by observing God's word.? It is the purpose for God's creation.....it is the nuclea of the foundation of the Universe........it is from where the Devil has the most attack and attention to destroy..........stay alert....... ? Make sure?even when you are away, keep your marriage on fire.? Send him love letters and show him how you miss him.? He needs to do likewise.? Make sure sometimes you show up unnoticed in exchange, allow him to visit you as well, just to make sure everything is fine with your house.??Dont trust even the very close friends,?you will be surprised they?may?turn to be your biggest enemy. ? Good Luck!!!?? ?

They are all very attached to me such that even a weekend away is stressful.? My husband has been away for months on end before, a few times, years in Europe and has now successfully attained his PhD and desires to settle.?

Even before I read these mails, I had asked myself the question several times, and each time, my conscience tells me to go for the opportunity or I will regret my whole life. But when I remember my family, I find myself at crossroads. Regards, Caro --- On Sun, 7/6/09, steve ogeda wrote: From: steve ogeda Subject: [YP_Ke] Re: Is it worth losing your family for a career?

This holier than thou attitude doesn't solve anything.the whole article is male bashing and? like it is the norm nowadays is coming from yet another woman who is an authority on men and how they behave.In society there are misfits and they are both men and women but women like blaming men for their problems.The wife who sleeps with the shamba boy is lonely but if its a man with the househelp all men behave so.What about the career women sleeping with their bosses? If both parties are married who has brain cancer there? If you decide to be a career woman what motivation do you need? It was your choice.Do you see any man saying he needs encouragement to go to work?Asking the man to be this or that towards you again amounts to the woman trying to dictate to the man how to behave.If you don't like someone's character it means you two are incompatible.Not trying to change every single man you meet then when all else fails you run to your friends crying about how the man 'in your life' is such a big baby. On finances,leave any man to himself and he will be fine.Its the myriad things women want that make this income fall short.To that womenfolk will answer that is a man's duty to take care of the home but it is impossible with the current demands(bills) women have As for Margaret's case,men are very practical beings(I will not speak for women).What the husband wanted was a wife and mother to his chidren and she was not being that.Getting married to the househelp again is about being pragmatic. As men we can marry from any social class.Getting 'taken care of' is not part of the deal.We view people for what they are not what they have. ? ?

Regards. ? Judy Miriga Diaspora Spokesperson Executive Director Confederation Council Foundation for Africa Inc., USA http://socioeconomicforum50.blogspot.com ? It is a controversial, even taboo subject among some, but the fact is that a number of career women are losing their families and homes to their house helps. In their quest for a impressive academic credentials a successful career and enviable social network, they forget to nurture what is probably the most important part of their lives ? their families. The result is that they wake up several years later to find that they have lost their families. Their children have developed into secretive, broody and rebellious teenagers while their husbands, whom they long stopped giving serious thought to, have become emotionally withdrawn and carved out a new life for themselves. Women who have found themselves in such a position will probably relate to Margaret Mwangi. Two years ago, 41-year-old Margaret Mwangi (not her real name), a senior manager in one of the largest banks in the country, thought she had it all. Already a Masters degree holder, she was a year into studying for a PhD in financial management and had won several awards for her outstanding performance. She was earning good money and had extensive contacts. But as she rode the wave of her success, she forgot to channel the same effort and energy she directed at her career towards her husband of 14 years and three children. Margaret would be up by 4 a.m. to get ready for the day?s numerous strategic meetings and for mandatory 30-minute jog around her upmarket neighbourhood. She would leave the house at 6a.m., as her husband and children were waking up to prepare for the day. Thanks to Martha, the efficient and capable house-help she had had for eight years, Margaret knew that her family was in good hands. Martha would prepare a healthy breakfast, ensure that everyone?s clothes, including her husband?s, were ironed and laid out and that their shoes were polished. Given Margaret?s busy schedule, including her daily evening classes which ended at 8p.m., she usually got home at around 9 p.m., tired to the bone. By then, the children were in bed, having had supper and completed their homework with Martha?s help. In Margaret?s mind, she was a good mother and dedicated wife since she ensured that her family was well taken care of. But due to her constant absence from home, her once close and loving relationship with her husband faded, to be replaced by a cordial one, devoid of emotion and passion. Their conversations were perfunctory and usually, after asking about each other day, she would take a shower, have a quick meal then collapse in bed, exhausted, with things that needed to be done at work the next day going in her mind. She could not even recall the last time she and her husband had been intimate, but this did not really bother her. According to her, all marriages lost the initial fire they had after a couple of years. After all, hadn?t her friends confessed that they were going through a similar experiences? That?s why Margaret was shell-shocked when her 45-year-old husband announced that he was marrying another woman last year. But nothing could have prepared her for the bombshell that he dropped shortly thereafter ? the other woman was Martha! ? How could he do this to her after she had worked so hard so that they could all have a good life and a secure future? It is not like he or the children had been neglected ? they lived in a clean home, had healthy, wholesome food everyday and led organised lives, she argued, as she tried to come to terms with the shocking news. But when her husband pointed out that it was their live-in house help who did all these for the family, the argument instantly fizzled out. During the last five years of their marriage, Martha had practically usurped Margaret?s roles of wife and mother. She cooked for and served the man of the house, washed, ironed and laid out his clothes and dutifully cleaned and polished his shoes everyday. She even made the couple?s bed, as well washed and changed the linen because Margaret often left early in the morning and returned late at night. But more important, Martha had raised the couple?s three children almost single-handedly. When they were young, she would wake up in the middle of the night to lull them back to sleep or warm them a bottle of milk because their mother would be too exhausted to do it. And when they started going to school, she walked them to the bus stop, picked them up in the evening and helped them with their homework. ?How then can you claim that you are my wife and mother of my children if someone else has been doing what you should be doing?? her husband had retorted when she asked how he could embarrass her by having an affair with their house help right under her own roof. Not ready to live in the same house or share her husband with Martha, Margaret walked out of the marriage with the children. Although she can offer them the comfortable life they were used to, re-learning how to be a mother to her children is proving very difficult. The older two, a boy and a girl, are teenagers. Sulky, disobedient, and disrespectful, they are constantly getting into trouble at school. The other, now eight, is clingy, teary and has not stopped asking when they will move back home to ?daddy and auntie?. Margaret recently learnt that her former house help, a single mother of two, had given birth to a baby girl, who had been named after her husband?s mother. Margaret?s case clearly demonstrates the situation in which many women find themselves after entrusting their family?s welfare and the running of their households to their house- helps. This often unappreciated and underrated woman is the one who draws up the budget, does the shopping, decides what meals to prepare and sometimes even rushes the children to hospital when they fall sick. And it is she who helps them cope with the unsettling changes that take place during teenage. It is no wonder, then, that some mothers don?t even know when her daughters had their first period, and that would be shocked to learn that they have actually reached this milestone. The result is that such children grow up to be comfortable with their house-helps and prefer to go to them for advice rather than to their own mothers, since they have not formed a close bond with her. ? Under their noses It is these same house-helps who wait on their husbands, take their bath water to the bathroom, make their tea just the way they like it and have since discovered what makes them tick, what makes them happy and what sets them off. Yet wives are surprised when they discover that their husbands are having an affair with the house help right under their noses. One of the women Saturday magazine talked to, a lecturer and professional counsellor, confessed that two years ago, her marriage was almost broke up because of the amount of time she was spending at work. ?Between my clinic and lectures, I did not realise just how little time I spent at home because I was always rushing somewhere,? she recalls. It wasn?t until she overheard her house girl of two years asking her husband whether she should prepare for him ?the usual tangawizi and lemon? to treat his cold that the alarm bells went off. ?My husband had never asked me to make him anything for his cold and, worse still, I had not even noticed that he was unwell,? she says, adding that this is what jolted her to take action. The following week, she gave up three classes, which meant that she could get home early at least three evenings a week to prepare the evening meal and have some quality time with her husband. ?I don?t think there is any married woman who believes her husband can have an affair with the house help, or worse, leave her for one, but what we forget is that she, too, is a woman and that human beingsare naturally drawn to those who treat them well and show them that they matter,? she says. She says that since then, she has been doing more for her husband, including serving him food, preparing his meals once in a while and spending more time with him. ?Our relationship has improved, and although I am earning less than I used to, I am more relaxed and have more time for myself,? she observes. Which brings us to the question ? is it really possible for women to have the best of both worlds? Is it possible for women to have outstanding careers as well as happy and contented families? Kenyan women have been fighting for equality for quite some time now, and they are getting it. They are rising to positions once reserved for men and earning as much as, if not more, than them. But at what price? ? According to an article published in the The Mail of UK recently, women may have won the fight for equality, but ?It has left many of them imprisoned and exhausted?. This is according to Erin Pizzey, a British women?s rights activist and author. Pizzey adds that the idea of women happily combining career and a family has turned out to be a myth. In the article by Paul Revoir, she observes that women?s freedom of choice to have both has left them with less spare time than they had before, and as a result, lost something very important. ?Many women don?t have a choice now, they have to work, they have to work hard, and I just see an exhausted generation of women trying to do it all.? Pizzey?s views are supported by Helen Fielding, author of the popular Bridget Jones series of novels, who criticised women who aspire to ?have it all?. In an article published in a recent issue of The Daily Mail of the UK, Fielding is quoted as saying that many young women today struggle to have successful careers and families in an idealistic society that expects them to balance these roles perfectly, a battle that leaves them ?confused?. ?They feel they should be getting up at six in the morning and going to the gym, then doing a full day?s work, coming back late and feeding 12 people for dinner. It?s a modern disease,? she is quoted as saying. Explaining why it is not possible for women to have it all, she argues that there are only so many hours in a day and as a result, you either spend most of them at work, or at home raising children and making a home. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Mito, ? May I respond to you and give you facts. ? We all agree election was stolen thats why we did not wait for the United Nations or America to come to our rescue.? We went out in rampage to claim our lost victory.? Kenyans all over the world borrowed from each other from Net-forum and demonstrated according to their outfit. ? President Bush at that time was the first to congratulate Kibaki (from report from Jendayi Fraser the Envoy at that time) followed by Museveni for winning election knowing too well Kibaki?rigged election and in an ExtraOrdinary circumstances Kibaki enthroned himself into power in a coup fashion style.? We kept on the pressure alive and President Bush rescinded and retracted the statement that Kibaki won.? This provided the process for Kofi Annan with Eminent personalities to come into Kenya?and negotiate the Reform Accord which was signed between Raila and Kibaki to legalize their stay and make their coexistance in the Grand Coalition Government under?the two Principle signed?Agreement of the Reform Accord legal. This was to also avert the public anger from destruction and killings from their election stolen victory. ? The Reform Accord was the best outfit at the time, with an option of the UN supervisory team to form an Interim Government after proving that Kibaki is not the Legitimate elected President nor did ODM win without some rigging.? None of them could servive as legitimate because there was and agreement from both sides that ODM too commited some dhambi of partial rigging.? ? The signed Accord Agreement was then spelt out very clearly..........that was to prepare the ground for next election after filling the spots as required by the Reform Accord.? PM Raila and?ODM Team?aught to have been steadfast in observance of the Accord Agreement, since they were now in the Grand Coalition Government to chart out ways and means to achieving the Reform Accord as agreed.? The time frame was between 6mths to two or 4 years.? ? In my observation, PM Raila and ODM team with more elected members would have done magic in Parliament by staying the cause.? Instead they found themselves in corrupt deals and not doing what they are suppose to do.? They allowed themselves to be smeared with Mt. Kenya network of corruption.? PM Raila kept on speaking on public forums that all is well within the Coalition Government.? That Coalition Government is doing fine.? Kenyans dont see it that way. ? PM Raila was in the USA from State Invitation and met with Condoleeze Rice, his needs were met?and was sent off a happy man loaded as required so he could steadfastly concentrate and work on the Reform Accord as was in the Agreement.? I dont think he has any excuse. ? Mr. Mito, how can you convince our thinking to think otherwise, that PM Raila and Team did not in the consequence get compromised and got himself derrailed from staying the cause even if the lost glory favoured them at the time.? We are not sure how much committed or deeply entangled he got himself with Mt. Kenya Mafia strategy to dismantle Kenya?? Why is the scratch my back I scratch your back the game in the corridors of the Coalition Government which is seen as the grease of corruption we are fighting to eradicate, and is the cancer to our lost glory of Leadership in Kenya.? Why wouldn't they do things differently that which would generate our interests and support? ? A leader must be visionary and be able to discern?that which?is good or bad for his people, and how he can provide and deliver even with the little that they have.? Consistency in collaborating and?providing direction to his constituents is par amount important with steps seen on the path towards the reform programs.? He must be able compare notes, consult and change tactics from informed sources.? PM Raila is adamant.....what he can do best is to intill fear on fellow members of parliament to an extend each and everyone fear talking or expressing views independently.?To succeed he had to pull ideas, opinions and advice from accross the board.? We are the spectators who watch the ball as is played.? We are experts because we have been participants of the game.? I speak what I understand best and how I know and understand our people they are a percevering lot.?? ? I can attest this, that as Kenyans we have the best intelligent and most considerate people in the world, except with a few who have tasted power, one thing we can blame ourselves is the too much trusting of our lives to people we have seen signs that they cannot deliver, but drive the community into extinction.??We have chosen a path towards destruction by clinging to the things that do not work. ? We want CHANGE and so we must change TACTICS to achieve our united desired GOALS. ? Can you explain to this forum how we can achieve this?? Anyone can help Mito...... ? Regards.

Thanks for forwarding to me this Judy Miriga's email thought,but still,I want to beg to totally differ with Judy and those who expects Kenyan leaders and especially Kibaki and Raila to lead all the rest of Kenyans both in Kenya and those in Diaspora to "Canaan".The USA and international community?is?clearly aware of what?and who are?the problems in Kenya yet they don't want to face the reality and deal with it once and for all. ? In the last?Kenya's general?election of 2007,it was clear from those elections that they?were once more?utterly rigged in favor of Kibaki and PNU despite ODM party with?Raila as the?then ODM's presidential?candidate?having won those elections,yet it was?he Raila Odinga?who helped Kibaki to ascend to power and presidency when he forgave those who had wronged him and declared the words "KIBAKI TOSHA" to the massive over 500,000 supporters who converged at Uhuru park then in 2002. ? This was after?MOI who was barred for seeking?another term to?misrule Kenya through Kenya's?amendment?Constitution section?2A?in 2002 together with?the support of Raila who rebelled and refused to support?Moi when?Moi?had intended to change?the Constitution?again?in order to vie for office,this episode then made Moi so unhappy that?instead he?recommended or chose?Uhuru Kenyatta as the KANU presidential torchbearer with his symbol of TINGISA to?scuttle an open KANU?election?which Raila,Mudavadi,Kalonzo,Katana Ngala and George Saitoti??were?had intended?vie for?KANU's?presidential?party ticket that made Raila?again after he had banned/unfolded his??NDP party which he tactfully did then and came to Moi's rescue?at his then?most hour of need when he Moi and his?government was just about to fall apart?that also?culminated to Raila being elected?KANU secretary general at the expense of the then KANU's?powerful?secretary General?JJ Kamotho. ? Where were USA and the the rest of the international community,America and all others should not hide under the pretext of Kenyans not putting their acts together yet they know pretty well who is causing the problem. Let's face the fact and the sooner they wake up,they better will it be not only?for?USA and all?other international?friends of Kenya which shall go along way to improve their?public, National and international?images while also stabilizing the country and the region. ? For so long Kenya has played an important pacifying country among this volatile region while it has also?remained a friend?to USA and other foreign countries and I hope that it will for so long?remain so. ? I urge America and all peace loving countries therefore to wake up and?face the truth by?supporting those who has the best intention?for all Kenyan that shall also go along way to improve their image rather than laying the blame where it shouldn't be at.?? ?

If these leaders can wield their authority during a crisis like now by effectively focusing the combined power of their group, then they are able to attack problems like a fierce tiger with wings, flying over the four seas, going into action confidently whenever there is an opportunity. If leaders loses their authority and cannot focus the power of their group like in Kenya today, they are like dragons cast into a lake, they may seek the freedom of the high seas, but they are trapped and cannot get loose. Most of the time a leader will not be able to please everyone I hope Kibaki and Raila knows that or do they?. since this is true, if a leader? have a choice, it is probably better those who are competent and displease those who are not just to make Kenya move forward. We as Kenyans we have disappointed President Obama very much: This includes, Kibaki, Raila, Mps, Ministers you and me, infact all carrying the Kenyan name etc. Here we see Obama a man who worked very hard to achieve what he has got today. I remember Obama`s campain time: He Obama placed his father on the forefront during his fight for the top job, the man was not and has not in any minute been a shamed of his fathers country or his fathers background, Kenya. Obama visited even the kenyan slums. He placed his Kenyan roots first in all his fighting for the top job. BUT what have Kenyans done?. We have just let the man down completely just by simple humanbeing stupidity, greed,? and ignorance. Kenya would have been the first country to tap the development opportunity between USA and Africa. But instead what do Kenyans now get?. Even the simple Delta airlines which was supposed to fly to Nairobi now is not going to travel? to Nairobi may be until after 2012, you might be suprised that the airline will be visiting Ghana very soon. It is? ashame that even the USA ambassonder in Nairobi have seen that it is a waste of time talking to Mps and instead is directly now talking to the youths. Will the youths also do what the Mps have done or show same intelligence?. What our Mps does not know is that when a top USA ambassoder is talking to youths, he is not doing it from his own head but those are direct notes from the white house. The Kenyan present governmnet is a let down and it is already registering a lower economy than what Somalian pirates and thugs are generating in Somalia today. Infact this government is just a waste of tax payers money and? it is just? like a degrading sewage to the black race again. This governmnet is taking blacks to the dark days when the British used to say these words:` Blacks do not have the brain to rule themselves`, When we British came to Kenya they were still sleeping with goats in the same house; no cl?thes etc`We the British are the ones who gave them clothes and told them how to read and write their names etc kind of staff``. I hear that Kenya economy is not far much better than Mugabe`s so guys where is the coalition government that most of the Kenyan elites wanted to be give a chance has taken Kenyans to?. To Kenyans living in USA, it is time to stand up and bring the kenyan glory back, do not sleep it is not the right time to go to bed yet. The USA president is very proud of his fathers roots and is just looking for a better Kenyan who can bring that glory back, a kenyan who have peoples heart and is for the common man. That is the point Kibaki and Raila have completely missed. Any intelligent humanbeing, who had time to listen to Obama`s speech to the muslims must have grabbed the idea and the main point. I hope Raila and Kibaki had time to digest it or is Obama to complicated to be understood?. Paul Nyandoto Lauren found her dream laptop. Find the PC that?s right for you.

It was even more puzzling when I reckoned that it was the mother of me who even ?recommended? the wife of me. But was my business to understand? Perhaps I was on the wrong footing because not everything and especially women are to be understood. You just can?t. Then I would wish that these two were like the father of me and father in law of me ? who I will even have you know, has even given me a certificate for successfully purchasing her daughter... a dumbest move ever. When our marriage was still fresh, that period before familiarity has bred contempt and truth checks in, I was inevitably a living battle field for these two dear ones, especially when the mother of me visits. I had seen this happen to my dad imagined that things will be different in my case since I considered dad to be tactless. I then did not have the precense of mind to understand that then as now, the problem was human nature, and this human nature has not changed. They say vita ?vya panzi furaha ya kunguru? but often I was not "furahiaring". An exception was rivalry for my affection turned to food. In matters gastro, the mother of me had the benefit of experience and the wife of me had the benefit of ?freshness? ?and me the benefit of a good appetite. This worked out well. Otherwise for the rest, those womanly details that a man is accosted with by the women folk, it was not quite rosy. One would say that my tie matches, the other would say it does not quite match! Good people, in my very own house I could not even appreciate well cooked food for fear of offending one or the other. I guess in each of their books, I was their ?baby?. Unfortunately for me, in matters ?baby?, they were *all* right. The one because I came from her ?loins?, and the other because she was in charge of my heart. This two would monitor me so strictly that I would not even have time to appreciate other skirt wearers with a good conscience-as every man is wont to do. And then good things happened and wisdom caught up with me. Either way, this was bound to happen because Nyongesa cannot be ?sat on? milele. I changed my attitude and looked at the situation differently. It dawned on me that this ?two people? for lack of better words, were something like let?s say like living assets. And better still, the two had fundamental weaknesses which meant that I could easily outwit them. As of today, in this year of our lord 2009, Nyongesa is a happy idiot and he is pleased to announce that he is no longer a battle field. And even better that?"vita vya panzi" is truly "furaha ya kunguru" as it was meant to be. Today proffesor was asking me whether everything is in order and in place, and i did not hesitate with the truth. Cheers, May the most high grant me a good wife beffitting my goodness. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Some no doubt are shitting on their papers for it?s the time of reckoning. University of Narobi, (not Nairobi), I will have you know is the only university south of the Sahara and north of river Limpopo with a definite article. I (myself) am an alumni of ?The fountain of Knowledge? among many other tertiary institutions. B4, I recall it was a time to boast and brag that we were the ?Cr?me de la cr?me? to mean the best of the very best minds. No doubt we took offence at Module II program which we not only saw as a ?contamination? of cr?me de la cr?me, but as sons and daughters of the rich?who did not even pass properly?and later bring unnecessary compe in the job market. B4 exams it was happiness left right and center. Only the book worms, whom the ladies honored by christening them ?antisocial?, thought about first class honors. Is it then a strange twist of fate that the antisocial ones are making it? And that our ladies would like an opportunity to reconsider speak well of them now?... When I say nobody really bothered about lectures, lecturers and their ilk assignments, term papers e.t.c, I mean the ?click?. A number of us in the click were from boys only high schools and therefore correctly interpreted university education to mean an ample opportunity for ?social development?. As enlightened boyz, or so we thought, this was time to amuse ourselves with chicken and egg questions. Such ambigous questions like, ?Are we students in the university or university students?? to which we would wisely reply with an emphatic, ?none of the aforementioned!?. We ate everything and drunk everything starting with the contents of the brown bottle... Naturally, some of my friends, wondered how it came to be that beautiful female students were everywhere on campus except their beds-where according to their good thinking, they were supposed to be from the very first? They forgot that one cannot break a moral principle and get away with it. There were a few disastrous consequences of this kind of thinking because they were honored with bigger harvests than they sowed. Sad to say, this good life of chaotic liberty would come crumbling one week to exams. From then on, we were prone to butterflies in the stomach. We had to devise coping strategy and that?s why I have the audacity to say some students are shitting on their exams this week. I know better. No one wished to see his good name on the papers being requested to come back for a supplementary but they still came. I bet, exam time was the only time the librarian would find a file of students of the university (or students in the university) eagerly waiting for his key. In this exam season, the librarian was always an ?idiot? whenever he opened the library late, and every one agreed- even the saints among us though this did agreed in kind not in word. Discussion groups mushroomed left right and center. By then I had figured out that the best way to learn something especially when under pressure, is to go and teach it. This sorted me out big time big time because those who knew would always correct me in the process. In essence they taught you by way of you teaching them nothing! Need I mention trans-nighting? That?s why in campus, you don?t just laugh with every Tom, Dick, Harry and if you are a man Jane. Some guys are endowed with abilities to read through the night. Social development endeavors in ?box?-(the ladies hostel), became history and wonder of all wonders our sisters ?understood? and did not throw tantrums. Actualy the reverse happened. It was the sisters who came and not we who went. One would only go to box only when the need was pressing?and it often was pressing? Otherwise in normal days, at any one time, there were more boyz in the ladies hostel. A visitor would be at pains to tell which hostel belonged to who. At such times, to release tension, I would propose enquire into "the nature and rationale of examinations". I amused my lazy "click" when i came up with the charming hypothesis that the exams, which we were working so hard for are actually useless. Then, as now, i had learnt the art of proving anything, and therefore believing nothing...

If smart people in your industry are talking about an issue you don't know cold, it's very important that you don't just sit there and nod your head sagely. I think there are two constructive paths. The first is to ask. "Wait, I was with you until a second ago. What does that mean?" You'll be amazed at how smart and engaging this makes you seem if you say it at the right time. The second approach is to write it down and not go to bed that night until you know the topic better than the person who brought it up.

BURUNDI?S ALBINOS MET EAC LEGISLATIVEMEMBERS AND PETITIONED THEM TOPRESSURISE GOVERNMENT IN THE REGION TO PROTECT THEM FROM MASS ?SLAUGHERS News Analysis By Leo Odera Omolo. WHEN members of the East African Legislative Assembly {EALA } held their regular session? last week in the Burundia capita, Bujumbura, they were confronted with a very special and unique problem, which requires their urgent attention.. A team consisting of the Burundi Albino Association led by their President Kazungu Kassim and lobby groups who petitioned the legislators requesting them to prevail upon the governments of the partner states in the East African Community to protect the Albino community from reckless and senseless killings of their members.. The group pleaded with EALA members to put pressures on EAC member countries food every thing within their powers to stop the uncalled mass slaughter of albino in the region. Member states of the EAC are Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. The EALA is the legislative body governing the EAC. It has the elected members from all the five countries. The Burundi albinos group is working closely with the lobby groups and civil societies in all the five countries? to stem rising killings of albinos in the region. In Tanzania alone? close to 42 albinos have died in the past one year in mysterious circumstances, which local people do associate with witchcraft. The group told EALA members of harrowing tales of the challenges they face as ?Albinos citizens? in East Africa.?The spate of albino killings witnessed recently in Burundi, Tanzania,? and Kenya was increasingly becoming a major concern of the civilized society in the region. ?they said. A Kenyan EALA member who took part in the encounter told this writer how he was shocked on hearing the version of stories narrated by the Albinos ,The Kenyan legislator, however preferred to remain anonymous. saying he was touched by the stories until he had to shed tears. The trend, the lobby group said, reflected poorly on the individual governments and impacted negatively to the region?s human rights record. There is a need for the EAC to consult more with civil society defending the rights of EAC citizens and the rights of the disabled in particular, in order to examine the situation and develop more option for deeper cooperation at the regional levels, ?said Mr.Kassim The killing of albinos in East Africa raised great concern last year. Alleged trades in albinos body parts, believed by some people to have magical power as well as conferring longitivity on the lives of those who use them as talismans or as potions, has been going on for years, But only come? into the international limelight in 2007 when the underground industry, which is centered around Tanzania fishermen and traditional healers ? left dozens of ?adult and many children hacked to death. Slain albinos are typically having their dead bodies being dismembered, wit their heads, limbs and genitals dried or roasted and grinded into powders or hacked into pieces that are sold to clients as protective charms.So the albinos virtually became endangered species like the Rhino and its horns used to be until the animals were almost whipped out of the universe. .in Tanzania, for instance, over 45 people have died in the past year and in. In Burundi, it is reported that over nine{9} people have died in the five months up to March this year.. Both the UN Secretary General Ban Ki=moon and the American Secretary of State Madame Hillary Clinton have condemned the attacks and termed them as barbaric and primitive. Last week, news agencies reported that the Burundi Albino Association heaped a lot of praise on Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete?s efforts in trying to contain the killing and for ?encouraging other EAC partner states to follow suit. However, the Albino?s organization said that, though considerable progress had been made in the human rights issues in the EAC region, the? current killing and the hostility portrayed towards the albino community, showing that the region is still a long way from achieving full respect for human rights. ?At the? end of the encounter, EALA members donated USD 700 to the albinos association.

Message-ID: <8492F2242D21A2419B9C0AA8DA9B8E7B266B73@mailserver.salafrica.com> Google HQ Would you like to Work here? Google's HQ, otherwise known as Googleplex, is situated in Mountain view, California in Silicon Valley. Throughout the corridors between the four buildings, there are all sorts of Google memorabilia on display. They even employ guides who specialize in explaining Google's history to people. There are lava lamps everywhere, as well as free coke and candy all over the place. They've also got huge multicolored exercise balls everywhere. People's workspaces are full of individuality, and the atmosphere is relaxed. There are couches everywhere. People can have a lie down when they need to and take a break. Google's staff loves sports. The big guns often have meetings at the pool table or in the corridors. The casual atmosphere in Google HQ can be demonstrated by the fact that staff can bring their pets to work, and the pets are allowed to wander around the office. Heaps of people have pets at Google HQ. There's a rule within Google: that there must be food within 100 feet of every employee. There was once an engineer who felt a bit ripped off about that rule because his nearest food counter was 120 feet away, so he asked for the error to be corrected, tongue in cheek. The relevant department replied: "There's a restaurant right above your desk, and you are definitely less than 100 feet from that one." This looks more like a toyshop than a workspace! Rumor has it, a dude who had just joined Google had not been able to find a flat, so he lived at Google HQ for a month. He lived a lot better than Tom Hanks in The Terminal. Meals are provided, couches everywhere, there are showers in the bathrooms, a gym and a swimming machine. There are even pianos in music rooms you could use. Better than the facilities at home! The dude didn't leave Google HQ for a month straight. It's all fun and games! Whiteboards at Google HQ are filled with all sorts of great (or not) ideas in all sorts of different languages. There's free food all over the place, it almost look like a supermarket. Hmmmmmmmm chocolate! There's also a free laundry room for use for the staff. So Whats your Work place Like? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Our planet and eight (or maybe nine) others orbit the SUN, which is only one of about 200 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of the universe, which includes millions of other galaxies and their stars and planets. By comparison, the Earth is microscopic. Compared to a person, on the other hand, the Earth is enormous. It has a diameter of 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers) at the equator, and it has a mass of about 6 x 1024 kilograms. The Earth orbits the sun at a speed of about 66,638 miles per hour ( 29.79 kilometers per second). Don't dwell on those numbers too long, though; to a lot of people, the Earth is inconceivably, mind-bogglingly big. And it's just a fraction of the size of the sun. The Earth and moon are tiny compared to the sun, but the moon's shadow can completely cover the sun during an eclipse. >From our perspective on Earth, the sun looks very small. This is because it's about 93 million miles away from us. The sun's diameter at its equator is about 100 times bigger than Earth's, and about a million Earths could fit inside the sun. The sun is inconceivably, mind-bogglingly bigger. The Sun But without the sun, the Earth could not exist. In a sense, the Earth is a giant machine, full of moving parts and complex systems. All those systems need power, and that power comes from the sun. The sun is an enormous nuclear power source -- through complex reactions, it transforms hydrogen into helium, releasing light and heat. Because of these reactions, every square meter of our planet's surface gets about 342 Watts of energy from the sun every year. This is about 1.7 x 1017 Watts total, or as much as 1.7 billion large power plants could generate. The only way the Earth could generate more power than the sun would be if every three people had a power plant of their own (and the planet were big enough to hold them all). When this energy reaches the Earth, it provides power for a variety of reactions, cycles and systems. It drives the circulation of the atmosphere and the oceans. It makes food for plants, which many people and animals eat. Life on Earth could not exist without the sun, and the planet itself would not have developed without it. To a casual observer, the sun's most visible contributions to life are light, heat and weather. Now we'll look at how the sun powers each of those. Night and Day Some of the Sun's biggest impacts on our planet are also its most obvious. As the Earth spins on its axis, parts of the planet are in the sun while others are in the shade. In other words, the sun appears to rise and set. The parts of the world that are in daylight get warmer while the parts that are dark gradually lose the heat they absorbed during the day. You can get a sense of how much the sun affects the Earth's temperature by standing outside on a partly cloudy day. When the sun is behind a cloud, you feel noticeably cooler than when it isn't. The surface of our planet absorbs this heat from the sun and emits it the same way that pavement continues to give off heat in the summer after the sun goes down. Our atmosphere does the same thing -- it absorbs the heat that the ground emits and sends some of it back to the Earth. The Earth's tilt creates its seasons. The captions in this image relate to the northern hemisphere. The Earth's relationship with the sun also creates seasons. The Earth's axis tips a little -- about 23.5 degrees. One hemisphere points toward the sun as the other points away. The hemisphere that points toward the sun is warmer and gets more light -- it's summer there, and in the other hemisphere it's winter. This effect is less dramatic near the equator than at the poles, since the equator receives about the same amount of sunlight all year. The poles, on the other hand, receive no sunlight at all during their winter months, which is part of the reason why they're frozen. Most people are so used to the differences between night and day (or summer and winter) that they take them for granted. But these changes in light and temperature have an enormous impact on other systems on our planet. One is the circulation of air through our atmosphere. For example: 1. The sun shines brightly over the equator. The air gets very warm because the equator faces the sun directly and because the ozone layer is thinner there. 2. As the air warms, it begins to rise, creating a low pressure system. The higher it rises, the more the air cools. Water condenses as the air cools, creating clouds and rainfall. The air dries out as the rain falls. The result is warm, dry air, relatively high in our atmosphere. 3. Because of the lower air pressure, air rushes toward the equator from the north and south. As it warms, it rises, pushing the dry air away to the north and the south. 4. The dry air sinks as it cools, creating high-pressure areas and deserts to the north and south of the equator. Sun and Moon The sun has a relationship with the moon, too. The light we see when the moon shines at night is really reflected light from the sun. The relative positions of the sun and moon also create solar and lunar eclipses. This might make it seem like the moon is nothing without the sun, but it does some important jobs for the Earth. The moon regulates the Earth's orbit, and it causes the ocean tides. This is just one piece of how the sun circulates air around the world -- ocean currents, weather patterns and other factors also play a part. But in general air moves from high-pressure to low-pressure areas, much the way that high-pressure air rushes from the mouth of an inflated balloon when you let go. Heat also generally moves from the warmer equator to the cooler poles. Imagine a warm drink sitting on your desk -- the air around the drink gets warmer as the drink gets colder. This happens on Earth on an enormous scale. The Coriolis Effect, a product of the Earth's rotation, affects this system as well. It causes large weather systems, like hurricanes, to rotate. It helps create westward-running trade winds near the equator and eastward-running jet streams in the northern and southern hemispheres. These wind patterns move moisture and air from one place to another, creating weather patterns. (The Coriolis Effect works on a large scale -- it doesn't really affect the water draining from the sink like some people suppose.) The sun gets much of the credit for creating both wind and rain. When the sun warms air in a specific location, that air rises, creating an area of low pressure. More air rushes in from surrounding areas to fill the void, creating wind. Without the sun, there wouldn't be wind -- and there might not be breathable air at all.

Message-ID: <206318.63721.qm@web38705.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Each one of us, I think, has at one time or the other come to appoint whereby we resigned and cried loud and clear, in great desperation, "What else would I have done? What, if anything, leads into such an act of hopelessness? Here's what I think! -There are many parents out there, who have done everything possible to help their wayward children realize that the way/friends that they have chosen will ruin them, but then all in vain. -There are spouses out there who have indeed drunk from an overflowing bitter cup , all caused by the man/woman that they at one time proudly called honey, sweet heart, baby, darling and name them... -There are many men/women with a large heart who over the years have denied themselves of basic needs so as to make the lives of their siblings somewhat better. In return, all they have ever received is criticism and continouos demand of help that don't seem to end. -There are people who have done everything possible to assist their friends to realize their goals in life.They have spent hours trying to advise them, but their friends are so arrogant to admit any kind of help. But perhaps the greatest cry comes from our God! Writing to Israel who seemed unable to learn from their past mistakes, the Lord of the universe lamented! "What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When i looked for good grapes,why did it yield only bad? (Isaiah 5:4.) What has been your experience?

This is what great R&D will do, and just think of the impact on existing technology: a... no more air valves a... no more air compressors at gas stations a.. . no more repair kits SCAN DOWN & SEE. These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin. It will be awhile before they are available to the automotive industry. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have today received Kshs 15,000.00 from Bunge La Mwananchi, and Kshs 5,000.00 from Bishop Dr Julius Mbagaya. The support cheque from Bunge was presented to us by Mr. George Nyongesa in the company of Mark Korir and Jacob Odipo. They also presented us with a banner marked; ?organizing citizenry, setting the agenda, transforming lives?. At KCDN, we believe in one Kenya where we all look at each other as a brother or a sister. We want to implore on all Kenyans to be proud of who they are. Be proud having been born a Luo, Kikuyu, Kisii, Luhya, Giriama, Pokomo, Kamba, Kalenjin et al. Be proud that it is this diversity that makes us Kenyan. As we host the 2nd Edition of KCDN Peace Run/Walk, we want to implore all Kenyans never to accept being used as agents of doom again; Do not kill your neighbour on accounts of his/her political belief; Do not fight because of politics. Let us vote differently but remain friends. In the same vain, if you loose in an election, do not steal or cook the results. Accept the results as they come in and live to fight another day. Do not let Kenyans be used to fight the war of losers. Do not vote on account of your tribe. Please vote for leadership, not the kind that has let Kenya down for the last 46 years. Let us vote for that one Kenyan who has a vision that is clear enough to propel us out of poverty, illiteracy and disease. Let us have no time with leaders who run to seek solace in their tribes whenever they are faced with hard choices. They will never bring the change that we want for Kenya. Above all, let us have a leadership that will have some feelings for the Orphans and Vulnerable Children in our society; a leadership that will want to clear the slums of Kenya; not a leadership that would want to promote slum tourism. I do not fancy leaders coming to visit the slums of Kenya every so often without tangible solutions. If we cannot honestly preach the virtues of Peace, National Healing and Reconciliation and if we cannot have the courage to address the Annotated Agenda Item No. 4 as captured in the National Accord of 2008, then the end repercussions might be worse than what we saw in 2008. We are now all the wiser. Vote and let that vote count. No more manipulations. Kwani? If we all believe in one Kenya, then any one of us can be our leader. As we approach this day, kindly join us in preaching Peace, National Healing and Reconciliation across the land. If you believe in this process, let us do it. At least at KCDN we are doing something. And we want to thank the following persons and institutions for coming forward to support us. We believe that it is not yet late for you to join us and lend a hand; And this is how we are placed; 1] Kshs 2,000.00 from Mr. Lenny Amolo of AIG Kenya Ltd. 2] Kshs 10,000.00 from Mr. Eric Jang?olo of Barclays Bank, [But strictly for our rent]. 3] Kshs 2,800.00 from Mr. Elijah Kombo of Bidii Africa. 4] Kshs 2,000.00 from Mr. Otieno Sungu of Southern Sudan. 5] Kshs 2,000.00 from Arinolah EN of Southern Sudan. 6] Kshs 3,000.00 from Dr Shem Ochuodho of Southern Sudan. 7] Kshs 15,000.00 from Bunge la Mwananchi- Mr. George Nyongesa. 8] Kshs 55,000.00 from Bishop Dr. Julius Mbagaya. 9] Kshs 5,000.00 from Chifu of New York. [Still a pledge] 10] a pledge from Bernard Otwori of Southern Sudan. 11] Video Coverage from Dommie Yambo- Development Through Media. 12] 10 balls [5-football, 5 volleyballs] from Text Book Centre Ltd. 13] Administration Police Band has confirmed their participation. 14] Partnership for Change. 15] League of Young Professionals. Our budget is still far from being met and we appeal to all those who would want to support the hosting of this event to kindly send in their support. We have Friends who have pledged their support and we are optimistic that we will receive the same in time. It will enable us to plan adequately with what we have. We need some T-shirts, banners, placards, manila papers, paper caps, tents, chairs, PA system, skipping ropes, buckets, copies and many other items that will enrich our day. We will also need some water, first aid, etc. If we can make these confirmations earlier, we will be able to sort ourselves out. Lastly, we must thank the Youth of Koma who have taken the challenge to make this event a success in terms of helping with the organization. It is through the active participation of the youth in the process of Peace, National Healing and Reconciliation that Kenya will be liberated from those who want to perpetuate tribalism as a tool of oppression. We must all join hands and say no to tribalism, tribalistic leaders, and in the same vein, advance the cause for Peace, National Healing and Reconciliation. Kenya is ours and we must cherish her. Kindly give us your support. Blessings, Odhiambo T Oketch, CEO KCDN Nairobi.

It has been the greatest year in my life in so far as learning new things is corncerned. And this is why I have decided to write to my fellow villagers in the city and share some experiences as well as explore the various ways in which we can make money. In all, I wish to discuss four things. The first is language. Fellow villagers, please note that there are very many people in Nairobi who do not and will not understand that it is not my fault that my ancestors decided to do away with the letter ?L? (though I do concur with them that there is no need to have two letters that sound almost the same). The Nairobians also do not seem to support the idea by my friend Omondi?s relatives that there was, and still is, no point in calling fish, fish when you could just as effectively communicate by shortening the name to ?fis?. For this reason, fellow villagers, let us learn to write (sms) more and talk less. The saving both in money and embarrassments are bound to be great if we do. My second point is to do with vehicles, or in simple Nairobi language, cars. I have learnt that anything on four and more wheels is either a car or a mat (matatu) in this city. I have also learnt that people in Nairobi will travel across town and pay good money to see cars (the type of which we have been paying to travel in) paraded in what is called the ?concours de elegance?. I now believe that a few of us, fellow villagers, stand to make very good money in domestic tourism by organising for trips to Gatundu etal to see the old model Chevloret pick-ups and Bedford trucks. We could also use these same vehicles to transport the urbanites there and charge a premium for this classic travel. Not surprisingly (to most from the village), my third point is to do with food. I (and hopefully most of us) had, mainly through the mass and popular media, heard of Pizza (pronounced as pitsa and not Bithaa) and Capuchinos(most probably misspelled). These had however remained foreign to (all of) us. But in my year in Nairobi, I have not only had the great honour to sample these foods but have also learnt that it is possible to pay a person who has most probably never tasted a food, to stand on a busy road advertising this same food. I am also still to find a joint that sells tea in a glass and king sized chapatis for ten bob each as they do back home. It would therefore be a great economic venture if any one of us villagers would set up such a joint. The last thing that I wish to discuss for now is medicine. This is one area where am proud to note that we villagers are way ahead of our urbanite brethren. For one, we learnt quite early on that herbs like Muarobaine (Fortious medicines) and Kieruma (Aloe Vera) can cure any disease (including suspected diseases). The Nairobite is only now catching on to this, interestingly the awakening is starting from the buses (particularly those destined to Kawangware, Rongai and Kitengela). The ?doctors? in this buses however seem to have gone one better that the villagers and have discovered that provided you package the same ?thing? in different packages, you can sell ?it? as a painkiller, toothpaste, ?dawa ya kuongeza nguvu (za kiume, kike na hata kitoto), dewormer and even as a beverage. At this rate, the posh hospitals (where they take your height and age, test your blood pressure, sugar lever, heart rate e.t.c. regardless of whether you went there as a patient, was escorting one or had just come to pick your girlfriend) may either have to close down or start stocking these super drugs. With that my village mates, ret me finis and hask that you put your khoments hapa chini.

Be humble or you will stumble MATURITY WITNESS WEDNESDAY 10TH JUNE 2009 What would you do if the Lord blessed you with a baby and after one year there was very little change in the growth of the baby? You would definitely be worried if the baby was still not able to move his head or his body weight was still the same, or if they were still not able to crawl and stand at least with some sort of support, or if he was no making any sounds. I am sure you would not waste any time you would rush them to hospital. Hebrews 5:11-14 (New International Version) We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. The bible talks to us about maturity and says that some of us ought to be teachers yet we still need someone to teach us the elementary truths of Gods word all over again. One of the ways you can tell a mature person by the kind of questions they ask. Some of us have been saved for some time now and we are still asking weather we can date an individual who is not saved. We are still asking weather we should tithe, we are still asking weather it is ok to listen to secular music, how far is too far, is masturbation a sin and so many other questions we ask daily. We have basically refused to grow up. Have you ever tried giving an infant a chunk of meat? They will basically choke on it because they are not mature enough to ingest it and digest it. That is a common occurrence in the house of God. Because we have refused to mature we often choke when the pastor serves meat with bone instead of milk. We want to be fed milk day in day out without taking any kind of responsibility on ourselves. We start wining and complaining just like kids do and many of us move to another church. We want lots of activities to keep us busy without taking responsibility just like little children. What would you think if you entered a restaurant and found all the patrons drinking milk from baby bottles? That would be quite a strange sight. As strange as it may seem, that is the sight in many of our churches every Sunday. Maturity does not necessarily come with age; maturity comes with taking on responsibility. Infants do not always appreciate what parents do for them. They have short memories. Their concern is not what you did for me yesterday, but what are you doing for me today. The past is meaningless and so is the future. They live for the present. Those who are mature are deeply appreciative of those who labored in the past. They recognize those who labor during the present and provide for those who will be laboring in the future. If you stop and ask yourself why you are not so devoted as the (early) Christians, your own heart will tell you that it is neither through ignorance nor inability, but purely because you never thoroughly intended it. Bottom line, its time to grow up and that's your responsibility so what are you going to do about it? PRACTICAL APPLICATION As long as you are attached to the vine and you are feeding from it, you will grow because growth is a natural process THROUGH THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR TODAYS READING 1 kings 21-22 Proverbs 10 Hebrews 13 James Okumu| HOPE FM | NPC Valley Road activate at hopefm.org URL: www.hopefm.org life is too short to be a spectator.Wake up and do something --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Boastfulness is the surest sign of weakness and insecurity. True confidence has no need to speak of itself. HONEY AND CINNAMON Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine or all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins. ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon honey and half teaspoon cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain. BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder. CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol. COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses. UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root. GAS: According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is revealed that if honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas. IMMUNE SYSTEM: Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacteria and viral diseases. INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals. INFLUENZA: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ' Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu. LONGEVITY: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to Four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increases and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old. PIMPLES: Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root. SKIN INFECTIONS: Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections. WEIGHT LOSS: Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet. CANCER: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three time s a day. FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. When the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week. BAD BREATH: People of South America , first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mix ed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day. HEARING LOSS: Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restore hearing. Remember when we were kids?

KISUMUMAYOR FACE REBELLION FOLLOWING ALLEGATION OF MASSIVE LOOTING OF CDF/LATF FUNDS ACCUSATIONS THAT HE IS ONLY ?FAVORING THERAILA?S FAMILY IN COUNCIL TENDER AWARDS, AN Investigative Report By Leo Odera Omolo THE Kisumu Mayor Sam Okello, a man who was only fished from the coastal town of Mombasa by the Prime Minister Raila Odinga? who nominated him as a Councilor and immediately imposed him on the elected civic leaders to become their Mayo9r after his own businesses ?were alleged to have already ?gone burst if facing serious rebellion. He is likely to go down in history as a one term Mayor. His previous election was controversial as the elected civic leaders vehemently opposed the idea of imposing an outside to be the Mayor of the lake side town. Okello is a non=resident. But his mentor Raila Odinga had an up-hill task of persuading the City father to accept Okelloi. Raila convened an impromptu meeting of all the elected civic leaders at the Rock Motel, which is located twenty kilometers north=west of Kisumu on the main? Maseno-Busia road. Raila coerced the Counmcillor to elect Okello telling them that he [Okello] as an experienced and successful business tycoon? in Mombasa would use his wealth of experience to attract more investment for the town. And the Councilors reluctantly gave in and picked Okello as their Mayor, though the majority of them had maintained reservation.. The Kisumu City fathers are seriously divided into three camps. Okello still enjoys the backing and support of only seven Councillors led by Raila Odinga step brother Omondi Odinga and one heckler called Onunga of Nyalenda.Ward ?Odinga represents Milimani Ward. Coun Omondi Odinga had good reason to support the Mayor. He was recently awarded lucrative Council tenders to repair and renovate Central add Arya Primary Schools within the Municipality, while his sister Anyango Odinga scooped another tender of repairing Jamhuri and Taifa Parks. The tenders are worth millions of shillings. Those on the firing line, who are expected to give Mayor Okello a run for his money include the populist Coun Pamela Jossy, the immediate former Mayor Coun. Priska Auma and the controversial Kolwa East Ward Coun . Robert Oruko Otuge a firebrand who has given sleepless nights to the Kisumu Town East MP Shakeel Ahmed Shabbir. It was revealed during? politically charged meeting at the ODM kisumu? branch off the Kakamega road, that the Mayor has been dishing out lucrative tenders exclusively to his loyal supporters.The same is with devolving funds disbursed by the government for development activities within the Municipality. The town is entitled to both LATFD and Cdf funding formits socio-economic projects. But a damning report compiled by the National Taxpayers Association, an independent, non-partisan organization which had carried the forensic auditing of all government aided projects in the Town has inflicted a big damage on the Mayor. And if the NTA auditing report is anything to go by,Okello re-election could be a foregone issue. ..The detailed audit report by NTA has revealed that the City had received the sums of Kshs 15,m778,350 for the 2007=2007 financial year from LATF and unspecified amount from the CDF committees from both Kisumu Town East and Kisumu Town West. Both the two constituencies are part and parcel of the Kisumu municipality therefore the Council is entitled for allocation of the devolving funds from the government meant for projects in the two parliamentary constituencies.? Out of the colossal amount of money received by the Council under Sam Okello?s ?Mayor ship, it budgeted for Kshs 11,722,875 for the financial year 2007-2007. And out of the amount received Kshs 4,045,175 mysteriously disappeared and remained unaccounted for. The Council had the largest number of abandoned , unfinished. and ghost projects, which had already consumed and exhausted the budgeted amount, but for which the work never took off from the ground for some unexplained reasons.. Some of the semi fished projects were classified as ?A? class. These are projects in which the amount of construction work put up so far is almost over 90 per cent and above. Most of the projects were classified by the team of auditor as being of class ?B? and class?s?. B class are these projects where the work done is medium averaging between 60 and 80per cent, followed by C class in which the construction work done is between 40 and 50 per cent. There are also several projects which were classified as Class? ?C? with the work done is below 40 per cent and those of class D which had consumed the budgeted amount but only between 10 and 3o per cent of total work done. A good number of projects within Kisumu Municipality were categorized and classified as ?Missing? and yet a lot of taxpayers money has been squandered on them.. The project status are listed as follows; ?complete, incomplete/stalled, incomplete and does not exist. Among those listed by auditors as ghost or missing include Oriang?/Kianja Primary School in Central Kajulu Location in Kisumu Town East Constituency. Kshs 736,649,00 allocated to this project is now considered lost.?? Unac counted for sums is Kshs 736,349 and only Kshs 300/- as put to proper use. The rest are his. Another missing project is Migosi Health Centre in Kondele suburb. Was allocated Kshs 800,000,00.Theproject failed to take off and the money remained unaccounted for to date. The Rotary Club, which is located right in the town was given Kshs 200,000.00 and this money too remained unaccounted for because the project did not take off the ground.. A School by the name St. Mary?s had tow projects budgeted for. One was an E,C.D project for which the sums of Kshs n600,000.00 was set aside and given. Nothing is on the ground to justify that the work is done, and the auditor have reported that this money remained unaccounted or. The second project at the same ?school was worth Kshs 500,000,00.This money has also gone to waste and could not be accounted for. The two projects are within the North Ward in Kisumu Town West constituency, which is represented by Hon John Olago Aluoch.But the Mp was not immediately available for comment. The second project at the same St.MARY?S? school consumed another allocation of Kshs 500,000,00 Jamhuri Park in Milimani Ward also consumed Kshs 580,000,00 but the amount of work don is sonly 18 per cent, other projects considered as having been abandoned unfinished include Manyatta Market Sheds which consumed Kshs 500,00, but only Kshs 348,200 was properly utilized ?leaving Kshs.150,000.00 unaccounted for. .Other project which were classified as abandoned half way include Simba Katuoro Road Kshs 800,000.The auditor had marked those project left unfinished and those with shoddy work and por workmanship as being of class ?C? and most of Kisumu Town?s projects fall under this category. All were carried out during Sam Okello?s mayor ship. Most project? constructed under the former Mayor Coun. Priska Auma had been classified ?A? and ?B? meaning that these projects were almost 90 to 95 per cent work done. Sam Okello Mayor ship has also been shrouded with numerous allegation of land grabbing and illegal selling of Council?s houses and land plots to private individuals. Until he was made the Mayor, Sam Okello was a perennial Parliamentary election loser in Muhoroni constituency. which he had unsuccessfully contested three times on a KANU party ticket and only joint. It is not clear whether Prime Minister Raila Odinga would? for the second time come to Mayor Okello?s rescue, but as the situation stands, and the hostility being displayed by the Kisumu residents against the Mayor his chances of clinching the seat for the second time are said to be very remote and slim.

DF KITTY AS COLOSSAL AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON PHATOM AND GHOST PROJECTS. Report Leo Odera Omolo ? The Kisumu Town East Constituency was awarded a total of Kshs? 77,806,176 ?during the 2007 and 2008 , but budgeted for Kshs .76,954,621 to cater for its earmarked development projects within the constituency The constituency, which is represented by Hon Shakeel Ahmed Shabbir had earmarked a total of 83 different socio-economic projects it had envisaged would be completed in time. Some of the projects, were initiated during the time of the former area MP Gor Sunguh who lost the seat inn the 2007 general elections.. Only ?30 development projects worth Kshs 24,752,517 were certified as having been completed, and these, according to forensic auditing carried out by the National Taxpayers Association were classified and categorized as being in ?A? class.. Ten other projects consumed a whooping Kshs 12,929,044.These projects were constructed with sub-0standard material and categorized as being of poor workmanship. The ten were categorized as of ?B? class. Another bunch of well built, but? uncompleted projects numbering 54 are not yet completed are said to be under the construction in phases. These projects had already consumed a total of Kshs 38,354,186.And those already constructed were found to have been well built Two project are said to have been abandoned, and yet the money budgeted ?for is said to have already exhausted or evaporated in the in the thin? air in this respect. The auditors have also reported the existence of Ghost or phantom projects, which had consumed Kshs 851,655, which remained unaccounted for to-date. These are three projects which could not be traced, though the allocated funds were already recorded as having g been utilized. The NTA is a national, independent ,non-partisan organization focused on improving..the delivery of services and the management of devolved funds for the benefit of all Kenyans. The NTA ,is committed to as the watchdog with the government of Kenya to improve ser4vices delivery at the district level and the management of devolved funds. It assessed all CDF/LATF projects funded in the financial year 2006 and 2007 in 23 constituencies and 8 ?districts 8 municipalities and in all Provinces across the country. After completing its brainstorming task in Kisumu, it will move to other regions to carry out its forensic auditing of government funded projects. Releasing the Kisumu audit report the NTA coordinator Mr Benard Masese alleged that there was rampant corruption and that most of the missing money had gone into ghost projects.? The reports were received during the probe were shocking, ? said Mr. Masese. More funds, he said were embezzled during the last Parliament ,because the former MPs and officials of the CDFG could not account for the money. Migosi Health Centre in Kisumu?s Kondele suburb was awarded Kshs? 800,000,00 but the planned project did not take off the ground, and yet the money had already been utilized. Another ghost project is the Kshs 200,000,00 Rotary Centre within Kisumu Municipality. It has yet to take off the ground ?and ye the money is no longer there. Ohers are Oriuang? and Kianja Primary Schools Central Kajulu, which is yet to be completed and yet the amount of Kshs 736,349,0 M0ost of the projects carried out within the peri-urban areas of Kisumu municipality? were supposed to have been implemented during Mayor Sam Okello?s tenure of office. The Kisumu Town East MP Shakeel Shabbir who is said to be having lean time with mounting opposition to his leadership, which has witnessed him being ejected out of several funeral gathering could not be reached for his immediate comment. Resident of Kajulu and Kolwa locations, which are part of the constituency told this writer that they were ?retired of the MP?s poor leadership style Ends -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I dated a boy in high school and fell in love quickly. I knew he was "the one". Like many high school romances, it didn't work out for a variety of reasons (time, distance, age). I have thought about him many times throughout my life. Wondering what he is doing, if he thinks of me. I always considered him "the one" even after getting married, having a kid. I am 32 years old, married 6 years to a wonderful man who I respect immensely, but am not really "in love with" anymore. I love the life we have, the home we are creating. I receive an email from a friend of mine who happens to have this high school boys' email address on it. I email him, we talk about the basics and I decide to tell him that I have not stopped thinking of him in all these years. Making a long story short, he feels the same - that every woman he has been with he compare to me, we have some kind of connection that has lasted all this time. This blows me away because I KNEW it all this time...I call him, we talk 3 times and it is wonderful! It is like we have never left each other. I know there is something there, as does he, but he is in a relationship as well. Things are getting a bit heated, I am an emotional wreck and his girlfriend finds out that we are in contact and gets very angry, so I told him we have to stop communicating for the sake of our relationships. This was the hardest thing for me to do. That was 3 weeks ago, and I am miserable without him... So, what do I do? Let time pass, and miss out on probably the one relationship that meant the most to me? Settle back into my life of comfort and stability and lack of love? Do I let the rest of my life go by withou giving this other relationship a chance? My child is 7 years old and I don't want to wreck his life. I know a mother sacrafices a lot, but happiness too?

The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the greatest driving road in the world. Stretching for 7.3 miles and climbing nearly 4,000 feet, it boasts 60 corners and a surface so smooth that it would flatter a racetrack. It could easily be described as the eighth wonder of the world, but almost nothing is known about its creation. The road is cut into the Jebel Hafeet mountain, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates , the oil-rich Persian Gulf state. The mountain spans the border with Oman and lies about 90 minutes' drive southeast of the thriving city of Dubai . It looks down upon a dusty, desert landscape that belies a nation of astonishing wealth. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <397979.807.qm@web38705.mail.mud.yahoo.com> My childhood memories is not all that pleasant! Nothing so exciting to recall! If anything, it reminds me of a life of abject poverty and sickness that took me from the home of my parents as I lived with several relatives and well wishers! The one thing,though, that I recall with deep appreciation is my childhood kiswahili Bible! While living with my sister at Nakuru, Kenya, where I had gone to seek for healing, I did some manual work that paid me enough to buy my first Bible-Kiswahili.Those were very challenging times for me! I do recall reading it cover to cover with great appreciation. I read it so much that my sister was afraid for my life!I told the Lord that I wanted to know more about Him. I was willing to accept His word by faith and do according to His bidding! In my pursuit for education-some 25 good years-I have read books by various authors but none of them has transformed my life as the good book has done! I love it so much that a day hardly goes without checking it out for inspiration and guidance! The Bible! I sure love you and will always possess you and seek your advice in my day to day struggles! How I pray that like me, you too will love the book that has been a source of inspiration to me!

WHAT THE???!!! Q: Does it ever get windy in South Africa? I have never seen it rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK) A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die. Q: Will I be able to see elephants in the street? (USA) A: Depends how much you've been drinking. Q: I want to walk from Durban to Cape Town - can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden) A: Sure, it's only two thousand kilometres take lots of water... Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in South Africa? (Sweden) A: So it's true what they say about Swedes. Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in South Africa? Can you send me a list of them in JHB, Cape Town, Knysna and Jeffrey's Bay? (UK) A: What did your last slave die of? Q: Can you give me some information about Koala Bear racing in South Africa? (USA) A: Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the pacific. A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe which does not...oh forget it. Sure, the Koala Bear racing is every Tuesday night in Hillbrow. Q: Which direction is north in South Africa? (USA) A: Face south and then turn 90 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions. Q: Can I bring cutlery into South Africa? (UK) A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do. Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA) A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is...oh forget it.

Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in South Africa? (USA) A: Anywhere where a significant number of Americans gather.

Q: Please send a list of all doctors in South Africa who can dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA) A: Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca, which is where YOU come from. All South African snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets. Q: I was in South Africa in 1969, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Hillbrow. Can you help? (USA) A: Yes, but you will probably still have to pay her by the hour. Q: Will I be able to speek English most places I go? (USA) A: Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.

Eve, there is no way you can leave your family coz of this guy.. from what I have concluded, you don't have a stand with God. You need Jesus sweetie, this is just a bad spirit that is hovering around you don't allow the devil to get in your marriage!! God HATES divorce!!!!! Please note that this is not you who wants to move with this other guy but it's the devil trying to destroy what God has put together. Don't destroy your home for God will hold you accountable for that!!! Its like going out with a married man knowing quite well that this r/ship isn't going anywhere and you are just there for fun.. but how long will it last???? Gal handover your life to Christ He will sort you out but in the mean time don't live your life like a foolish woman who destroys her home instead of building it up.. I'll keep you in my prayers and you also need to pray for yourself! when you take something for granted, you can quickly forget that it's even there. If you take it for granted long enough, it may in fact be gone the next time you look for it. ________________________________ From: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com [mailto:youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of eve wanjiku Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 12:25 PM To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Subject: [YP_Ke] My High School Sweetheart - Its all coming back YPs, life is funny.

Even if you do not have little kids* pass this one on to everyone you can think of. You never know whom you might save by sending this e-mail! Please* take the time and forward this to any friend who has children & grandchildren! Thanks! Wanted to share something that happened today while shopping at Carrefour(Nakumat). A mother was leaning over looking for meat and turned around to find her 4 yr old daughter was missing. I was standing there right beside her* and she was calling her daughter with no luck. I asked a man who worked at Carrefour(Nakumat) to announce it over the loudspeaker. He did* and left me* he immediately walked right past me when I asked and went to a pole where there was a phone. He made an announcement for all the doors and gat e s to be locked* a code something. So they locked all the doors at once. This took all of 3 minutes after I asked the guy to do this. They found the little girl 5 minutes later in bathroom stall drugged. Her head was half shaved* and she was dressed in her underwear with a bag of clothes* a razor* and wig sitting on the floor beside her* to make her look different. Whoever this person was* took the little girl* brought her into the bathroom* shaved half her head* and undressed her in a matter of less than 10 minutes. This makes me shake to no end. Please keep a close eye on your kids when in big places where it's easy for you to get separated like Shopping Malls. It only took a few minutes to do all of that. Another 5 minutes and she would have been out the door. I am still in shock that some sick person could do this* let alone in a matter of minutes. The days are over when our little ones could run rampant all over the place and nothing worse would happen than them annoying people. The little girl is fine.

Name: image001.jpg Type: image/jpeg Size: 2583 bytes Desc: not available URL: From FNdungu at resolution.co.ke Thu Jun 11 08:04:00 2009 From: FNdungu at resolution.co.ke (Florence Ndungu) Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:04:00 +0300 Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] FW: : The mind of a woman/man Message-ID: <102D759898308F4987EEA845740FF693CF1732@resexc03.resolution.lan> Boastfulness is the surest sign of weakness and insecurity. True confidence has no need to speak of itself. Let's say a guy named Mwangi is attracted to a woman named Njambi. He asks her out to a movie, she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is seeing anybody else. And then, one evening when they're driving home, a thought occurs to Njambi, and, without really thinking, she says it aloud, "Do you realize that, as of tonight, we've been seeing each other for exactly six months?" And then there is silence in the car. To Njambi, it seems like a very loud silence. She thinks to herself, "I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he's been feeling confined by our relationship; maybe he thinks I'm trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn't want, or isn't sure of." And Mwangi is thinking, "Six months!" And Njambi is thinking, "But, hey, I'm not so sure I want this kind of relationship, either. Sometimes I wish I had a little more space, so I'd have time to think about whether I really want us to keep going the way we are, moving steadily toward...I mean, where are we going? Are we just going to keep seeing each other at this level of intimacy? Are we heading toward marriage? Toward children? Toward a lifetime together? Am I ready for that level of commitment? Do I really even know this person?" And Mwangi is thinking, "...so that means it was...let's see...February when we started going out, which was right after I had the car at the garage, which means...let me check the odometer...Whoa! I am way overdue for an oil change here." And Njambi is thinking, "He's upset. I can see it on his face. Maybe I'm reading this completely wrong. Maybe he wants more from our relationship, more intimacy, and more commitment; maybe he has sensed...even before I sensed it...that I was feeling some reservations. Yes, I bet that's it. That's why he's so reluctant to say anything about his own feelings. He's afraid of being rejected." And Mwangi is thinking, "And I'm going to have them look at the clutch again. I don't care what those Nugus say, it's still not engaging right. And they better not try to blame it on the cold weather this time. What cold weather? It's 30 degrees outside, and this thing is shifting like a chokora garbage truck, and I paid those incompetent thieves 12,000 bob!" And Njambi is thinking, "He's angry. And I don't blame him. I'd be angry, too. I feel so guilty, putting him through this, but I can't help the way I feel. I'm just not sure." And Mwangi is thinking, "They'll probably say it's only a 90-day warranty. That's exactly what they're going to say, the nyangaus." And Njambi is thinking, "Maybe I'm just too idealistic, waiting for a knight to come riding up on his white horse, when I'm sitting right next to a perfectly good person, a person I enjoy being with, a person I truly do care about, and a person who seems to truly care about me. A person who is in pain because of my self-centered, schoolgirl romantic fantasy." And Mwangi is thinking, "Warranty? They want a warranty I'll give them a bloody warranty. I'll take their warranty and stick it right up their..." "Mwangi," Njambi says aloud. "What?" asks Mwangi, startled. "Please don't torture yourself like this," she says, her eyes beginning to brim with tears. "Maybe I should never have..., I feel so..." She breaks down, sobbing. "What?" says Mwangi. "I'm such a fool," Njambi sobs. "I mean, I know there's no knight. I really know that. It's silly. There's no knight, and there's no horse." "There's no horse?" says Mwangi. "You think I'm a fool, don't you?" Njambi says. "No!" says Mwangi, glad to finally know the correct answer. "It's just that...It's that I...I need some time," Njambi says. There is a 15-second pause while Mwangi, thinking as fast as he can, tries to come up with a safe response. Finally he comes up with one that he thinks might work. "Yes," he says. Njambi, deeply moved, touches his hand. "Oh, Mwangi, do you really feel that way?" she says. "What way?" says Mwangi. "That way about time," says Njambi. "Oh," says Mwangi. "Yes." Njambi turns to face him and gazes deeply into his eyes, causing him to become very nervous about what she might say next, especially if it involves a horse. At last she speaks. "Thank you, Mwangi," she says. "Thank you," says Mwangi. Then he takes her home, and she lies on her bed, a conflicted, tortured soul, and weeps until dawn, whereas when Mwangi gets back to his place, he opens a bag of crisps, turns on the TV, and immediately becomes deeply involved in a rerun of a tennis match between two Czechoslovakians he never heard of, as he awaits the big match of the day between MAN-U and ARSENAL. A tiny voice in the far recesses of his mind tells him that something major was going on back there in the car, but he is pretty sure there is no way he would ever understand what, and so he figures it's better if he doesn't think about it... (This is also Mwangi's policy regarding world hunger) The next day Njambi will call her closest friend, or perhaps two of them, and they will talk about this situation for six straight hours. In painstaking detail, they will analyze everything she said and everything he said, going over it time and time again, exploring every word, expression, and gesture for nuances of meaning, considering every possible ramification. They will continue to discuss this subject, off and on, for weeks, maybe months, never reaching any definite conclusions, but never getting bored with it, either. Meanwhile, Mwangi, while playing squash one day with a mutual friend of his and Njambi's will pause just before serving, frown, and say, "Kamau, did Njambi ever own a horse?" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Message-ID: <565811.61293.qm@web38704.mail.mud.yahoo.com> It was quite a scene to watch! It was fierce! I had to stop my morning walk to watch it -a little bird fighting a big bird! I almost gave in into the temptation to intervene, but on a second thought, decided to mind my own business and move on, not without pain, though! There might have been some other reasons, but my educated guess is that? the little bird had come to regard that particular territory as belonging to it! Therefore, it's his/her duty to warn others to stay off, or otherwise they will face the music; a kind of arrogant position/attitude! Any lesson learned here? You bet! Reflect with me on the following! -When two individuals decide to live together as husband and wife,they do so with the understanding that both of them know what is needed/required to get the marriage going. For some reasons, once the wedding is over, one decides to dictate things thus leading to un told pain/suffering which unfortunately ends up in divorce! -The underlying reason for many people to go to church weekly, is to praise God and pray for strength to face the daily challenges! But from time to time, there has a risen some people who transfer/carry on with them their personal/family problems to church. Such, are good at finding fault or criticizing every program, thus contributing to loosing some members! -I think that every family/individuals are mature enough to make their own decisions as to which church they should join/go to. It's rather interesting to see one forcing others to attend a church of their choice. Let everyone go where he/she feels that they will be comfortable. Remember that each one of us has different tastes! -In any society/community, there is enough work/activities for everyone. Depending on their schedules and interests, people have a God given right to decide what program to support/do and what not. However, it's always interesting to note that there are those who have made themselves decision makers for everybody;always trying to advise others on what to do and what not.I don't think its fair no matter how you look at it! All of us need to accept the fact that there is but one enemy that we can and should all fight-the devil! All others, are of age to decide for themselves! Let us therefore please leave them a lone! Shall we? Just a thought!

With CDF allocation increased by 80 percent through additional funding through roads maintenance levy, aimed at promoting amendment to allow for 22 percent of road maintenance fund for maintenance of constituency roads, it will definitely create jobs for the youth. Apart from Sh500 million allocated to Youth Development Fund, every constituency will receive Sh60 million each directly, unlike other budgets that were allocated through the districts and were not uniform. Even though Kibaki government has been opposed to devolution of powers, according to the minister he has taken this measure to ensure budgetary resources reach people at the constituency level with specific aim in creating more jobs at the rural levels. By expanding rural electrification programme with Sh7 billion, it means many unemployed youth would be able work in jua kali sectors, especially through metal and electoral works. Unlike other budgets, the year 2009/2010 Mr Uhuru directed that fuel levy to be channelled through the Constituency Development Fund with the same idea of job creation, especially among the youth. Another good news for the youth on Uhuru budget is his directive that new standard gauge railway line to be built from Mombasa to Western, and Uganda. It means youth will be engaged in doing the job. He allocated Sh140 billion to be spent on roads, rail ports and energy. He has also enhanced community policing by engaging youths in collaboration with chiefs, of which some of the dedicated ones with good record will be recruited in police force. Other than that he has also allocated funds to support this to purchase motorised bicycles of chiefs and youths in community policing. If his proposal that he will continue to pursue fiscal policy and structural reforms works, then this will also be good news for the youth because it will stimulate growth, create employment; protect jobs and the poor. In doing so Uhuru believes it is in response to challenges and prevents a slide in economy; provide stimulus designed to cover all parts of the country, which is again devolution of powers and economic empowerments. Again, with his proposal of expand irrigation based agriculture to ensure food security, construct wholesale and fresh produce markets to be constructed countrywide, many youth will benefit. Unlike other budgets, this time Uhuru has directed that the stimulus program is to be designed to cover all parts of country whose program will construct wholesale and retail markets countrywide. This he believes it will help to overcome today's challenges for a better tomorrow.

I have read with disgust and shock that some?African countries have petitioned the United Nations fo fire? Philip Alston, the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial killings?from his position as a special rapporteur because of reporting on Kenya at the Hague. ? I concur, welcome ?and support the reports emphasis which is vital and urgent that Hague can do a?better service delivery to Kenyans than the Kenya Government Judiciary.? It is a shared comprehensive view by Kenyans that Mr. Alston report will help bring some justice to the fore.? I cannot overemphasize how important and considerate Mr. Alston was in providing way forward to safety and security to Kenyans by the move he took and that Hague is the way forward. This will give a breather in providing collective security to all in Kenya. ? We are presently faced with current threats of disrupted National peace and security from?diverse forces, that which include?stolen public property, assets and resources, to pirating sponsored by cartel groupings who are inter-connected, to invasion of Migingo by Museveni, to organized poverty experienced in Kenya by politicians, to Mungiki gangs sponsored by the same politicians, to organized Police hooliganism......Mr. Alston saw the grave danger and sympathized with Kenyans from moral perspectives, and from his expert judgement he saw it fit to forward the matter to Hague where recommendations for strengthening security can provide a collective security provisions to Kenyans under the United Nations Treaty Agreement.? ? I therefore state that,?a report on Kenyan police killings presented at a United Nations Conference in Geneva is a true picture of events of Human Rights Violation in Kenya.?It has not been exagerated and they are plain facts as known on the ground by Kenyans.?Those creating controversies over Mr. Alston's report are acting on delinquency influence of demeanor, people who delve on compounding corruption and impunity, who are specialized character of Human Rights Violators, and who will go to any length to suppress justice and cover their wicked deeds.?The police reforms are overdue. ? The African Nations Group in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) listed and leveled ?accusations against Prof Alston on Kenya?s extrajudicial killings and urged its president, Martin Ihoeghian Uhomoibhi, not to renew Prof Alston?s mandate, which ends in June. In a strongly-worded statement read to the UNHRC in Geneva on Monday, the African Group, represented by Egypt, expressed its displeasure at the conduct of the special rapporteur during his tour of duty in Kenya and the way he framed his final report on police executions. The statement was read by?Mr Amr Roshdy. ? In our eyes, Mr. Alston did Kenya and Kenyans a true justice by forwarding the report as is to the?Hague the Geneva meeting.? He is our Hero....He made us proud, that someone would take a poor man's voice to the level of Hague, this alone is highly commended and a credit to Mr. Alston.? I can say here that Mr. Alston has a true human heart of empathy.? ? The position taken by Africa Nations Group is totally wrong, and is condemned in the strongest terms.? We all know the move to punish Mr. Alston came about and?was engineered by?the PNU side in the Grand Coalition Government, who accused Prof Alston of acting outside his mandate.?The Nation Newspaper recently?reported that Attorney General Amos Wako had lobbied the African Group to push for a resolution before the UNHRC to censure the special rapporteur. ? As a voice of reason, and echoing voices of many, I would like to state that Mr. Philip Alston is the best darling?to the?majority Kenyans.? He is the True Human Rights Advocate presently known in Kenya whose work can be trusted and relied upon. The report he gave is not news to many Kenyans as well as the International Community.? It is an open book that no one was able to read it open aloud like the way Mr. Alston did.? I commend him for the brave act he put to save Kenyans having gone through many agony and issues. ? Largely the reforms were to abide by the principles of transparency and accountability; foster and promote relationships with the broader society and co-ordinate, supervise and control all private and quasi-government security organizations to ensure safety and security in Kenya.? This has not happened or will never happen?any sooner. Parliament should address the issue of tenure of the Police Commissioner and the CID Director. ? Other Cited Evidential Facts?that Backs Mr. Alston's Report? ? The police have been accused of violating human rights in recent times, Residents live in fear of youths, gang and the police.? Interviews with locals Kenyans bring about a picture of a people trodden in fear of Mungiki, vigilantes and the police.? We are dealing here with situation of brutality and vicious gangs and the police.? There is totally no security for the people and fear is felt all over the Nation. ? Failed policies has been sited even by Ms Karua who continually hit out at the police, accusing them of working in a disjointed manner and failing to go to the aid of citizens when marauding gangs attack. Karua targeted failed policies employed by the force and which the Judiciary has partly contributed to the present situation in Kenya. She also condemned the shoot-to-kill policy as illegal.? It is also Violation Against Human Rights.?It has been proved that?there is lack of goodwill from those responsible. For reforms to be effectively carried out, the Government system and the security machinery must be effectively coordinated. ? The Commission on Post-Election Violence (Cipev) delivered a stinging indictment of institutional failure and complicity of internal security apparatus in gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity. ? Justice Philip Waki claimed the police "failed institutionally to contain violence".? The Cipev report accused some State agents of being "guilty of acts of violence, and in?their finding, it is found to be?a serious violation of human rights Citizenry" and states that such were the results of a trend towards institutionalizing violence against the public. ? The Waki Report estimates that 1,133 Kenyans were killed during post-election violence. Of these, 405 had gunshot wounds. Waki recommended that the reform process explore international capacity building possibilities for policing in general with a specific focus on criminal investigations, community based policing and information collection analysis and dissemination. ? When recently?interviewed by?a News Reporter, Mr. Chris Murungaru responded that, "Police reform is a marvelous idea and should be supported by all. It will give the force a new image. It will also give the Government opportunity to retrain the officers to comply with the latest technological skills so they are not rendered redundant. This is part of the policies we are undertaking in the Provincial Administration and Internal Security". ? The Public Mandate requires the process of carrying out further reforms in the police must include the immediate resignation of Attorney-General Amos Wako and the sacking of police commissioner Maj Gen Hussein Ali, followed by an overhaul?Police system in order that trust and normality can set in Kenya for reforms to take effect.? ? Amnesty also reported on the?impunity among police and military officers persisted. The same verdict is declared on the government over the claims of rape, torture, beatings and use of excessive force during a joint police-military operation in Mandera district. The joint operation was to curb the influx of illegal arms from the Horn of Africa. Amnesty says that various torture and killings claims were made against the military during the ?Operation Okoa Maisha? in the Mt Elgon area but the government is yet to investigate them. The Kenyan Government has been censured for failing to put in place measures to bring to justice violators of human rights. Amnesty International highlights impunity as the major issue hindering human rights in Kenya. Amnesty International reports that during the post-election violence and in the conflict in the Mount Elgon area, women and girls were subjected to rape and other forms of sexual violence. ?Violence against girls and women was widespread. The government did not impose a moratorium on forced evictions. Public health facilities were poorly funded, equipped and maintained,? the report that covers 2008 says. However, the alleged perpetrators of gender-based violence, including the police and other law enforcement officials, were hardly ever brought to justice. The rights group also says that state security agencies, in 2008, continued to torture and kill suspects with impunity. ?The government denied these allegations but had not instituted independent and impartial investigations by the end of the year.? With Mr. Alston's report, justice is at the door.? ? We hope the critisism from these African Leaders will not be taken serious. ? Sincerely, ?

But this time brothers and sisters I do think that mister Onyango has completely missed the point on his article about Africa`s democrats and despots, dead or alive. My point is this classification or nomenclature Mr. Onyango is trying to give us today about African dictators does not fit very well with the Kenyan situation. I hope Mr. Onyango was born, raised and got some of his education in Kenya. If so where do we put, JOMO KENYATTA, DANIEL ARAP MOI, KIBAKI. I mean this; in Mr. Onyango`s nomenclature there is no Kenyan president named . Does this mean that Kenyan presidents do belong on the same side as European, Australia, Asian or USA presidents in terms of ruling or what?. Infact if I remember well we still have the same railway line the British left. People have been detained in Kenya without trial like hell, politicians have been slaughtered in broad day light like hell. Kenyan presidents do get what they want, NOT what they need, their subjects are just a joke to them, instead they grab land like I do not know what?. So please fellow Kenyans have a glimpse at Mr. Onyango`s paper below and tell us where do we put, Kenyatta, Moi and Kibaki which Mr. Onyango have either deliberately missed or have just forgotten. Paul Nyandoto http://www.nation.co.ke/blogs/-/445642/609100/-/view/asBlogPost/-/9ie7nbz/-/index.html Charles Onyango-Obbo Bongo: Africa?s democrats, and despots, dead or alive By Charles Onyango Obbo (email the author)Posted Wednesday, June 10 2009 at 20:00 AFRICA?S LONGEST RULING president, Omar Bongo of Gabon, has gone to meet his maker. The fact that Bongo was in power for a record 42 years means it is not enough for us to say we are rid of another corrupt strongman. It is time to try and explain why people like him can survive for so long; why our leaders keep stealing our taxes and messing up our lives; and how come Comrade Bob Mugabe in Zimbabwe can run a once-great country into the grave, and yet some are still in office. The short of it is that these rulers survive because they actually enjoy support. It could be from their tribe, the army, or like Bongo, they can buy loyalty with petrodollars, but that support is often more than what the democratic opposition can muster. Even Uganda?s disastrous ?Field Marshal? Idi Amin had the undying loyalty of the rich class that grabbed the vast Asian ??abandoned properties?? after he expelled them in 1972. We tend to blame disorganised oppositions for the survival of wicked politicians like Togo?s Gnassingbe Eyadema. But wwhat else explains it equally is a cowardly, greedy, or ethnically?driven population. Bongo, let?s be fair, was not your typically abominable African strongman. His prisons were not full of journalists and opposition politicians. Though most Gabonese still live in poverty, he managed to keep very many others happy by spreading the oil money around. As The Guardian put it, Bongo ??quickly realised that money could be more effective than bullets in keeping power??. Bongo?s case also suggests that instead of lumping the continent?s leaders together, we need to develop categories for classifying them. The list of African leaders here is by no means exhaustive. 1. The Predatory Dictators: These mostly rob, kill, and ruin everything. Here put several former presidents: DRC?s Mobutu Sese Seko, Liberia?s Charles Taylor, Uganda?s Idi Amin. 2. The Progressive Despots: These don?t democratise fully and fill their prisons with critics and independent journalists, but they still build roads, railways (Bongo spent $4bn on a railway network). Here I can think of Libya?s Muammar Gaddafi, Ethiopia?s Meles Zenawi, Ghana?s Gerry Rawlings, Egypt?s Hosni Mubarak, and, from an earlier period, Cote d?Ivoire?s Felix Houphuet-Boigny. Bongo belongs here. 3. The Enlightened Strongmen: These are men who shake up their countries with bold reformists initiatives, and make them distinctly leaders in Africa in some areas, but they still keep a tight lid on political life: Tunisia?s Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Mozambique?s former President Joachim Chissano, and throw in Djibouti?s Omar Guelleh. 4. The Heartbreaker Backsliders: These started out well, held a lot of promise, and even had remarkable records in their first years, but then they went into reverse gear. Either they became two-penny despots, changed constitutions to perpetuate themselves in power, or went to the far extreme to impose a regime of terror ? as Eritrea?s Issaias Afeworki. The least bad of the lot is someone like President Museveni. Robert Mugabe belongs here (can?t dismiss his early good works). 5. The Miscast Democrats: These are decent men and women, who came to power with huge majorities, but when they are in office, they don?t convert that mandate into good or enduring works. Liberia?s Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, and former South Africa President Thabo Mbeki typify this group. 6. The 8am-5pm Regulars: Here, think of the more technocratic African presidents who came to power as freedom fighters or were elected in free elections. They govern without any drama. Are in office by 8 am and leave shortly after 5 pm, balance the national budgets, keep inflation down, and leave a healthy country that made normal progress during their rule. Botswana?s leaders ? Sir Seretse Khama, Ketumile Masire (he used to walk to the newsstand opposite his office to buy newspapers and pick coffee at a corner cafe), Festus Mogae, and now Seretse Khama Ian Khama. But, perhaps, even better examples are Mauritius? Sir Anerood Jugnauth, and Rwanda?s Paul Kagame (Rwanda, typically, just became the first country in the Third World to introduce a national immunisation programme against pneumococcal disease, one of the leading killers of children in the world). 7. The Charmed Ones: These are leaders who are nation healers, inspirational, and we have to fight with the rest of an adoring world (where they assume a saintly status) to claim them as Africa?s own. We also like to gloss over their failings. Count Tanzania?s Julius Nyerere and the great Nelson Mandela, here. cobbo at nation.co.ke -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?" The man replied, "No, sir. These are my pet fish." "Pet fish?!" the warden said. "Yes, sir. Every night I take these fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home." "That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works." "O.K. I've GOT to see this!" the game warden replied. The man poured the fish into the water and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well?" "Well, what?" the man asked. "When are you going to call them back?" the game warden prompted. "Call who back?" the man asked. "The FISH." "What fish?" the man asked. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Message-ID: <202713.56141.qm@web38704.mail.mud.yahoo.com> A careful study of the word of God reveal that while some things have changed, others remain as God spoke or wanted them to be! What has changed? -Sacrifices came to an end at the cross. -Life on earth was reduced from as many as 969 to 120 years. What has not changed? -Preparation day still remains the same -The Sabbath day still remains the same -Marriage is still Holy and between a man and a woman Unfortunately, some have attempted to alter/change the order of things from what God wanted them to be without any approval from God Himself. Even more sad, is that these changes have been presented as if approved by God. Many over the centuries have been deceived and many continue to. I want to make a passionate appeal to you! Do everything you can, to go through the Bible from cover to cover. Before before you start,pray that the good Lord helps you to understand His word. Promise Him that you will be obedient to, "Thus said the Lord!" You and I want to make sure that we are on the same page with the Lord of the universe! Blessings!

But this time brothers and sisters I do think that mister Onyango has completely missed the point on his article about Africa`s democrats and despots, dead or alive. My point is this classification or nomenclature Mr. Onyango is trying to give us today about African dictators does not fit very well with the Kenyan situation. I hope Mr. Onyango was born, raised and got some of his education in Kenya. If so where do we put, JOMO KENYATTA, DANIEL ARAP MOI, KIBAKI. I mean this; in Mr. Onyango`s nomenclature there is no Kenyan president named . Does this mean that Kenyan presidents do belong on the same side as European, Australia, Asian or USA presidents in terms of ruling or what?. Infact if I remember well we still have the same railway line the British left. People have been detained in Kenya without trial like hell, politicians have been slaughtered in broad day light like hell. Kenyan presidents do get what they want, NOT what they need, their subjects are just a joke to them, instead they grab land like I do not know what?. So please fellow Kenyans have a glimpse at Mr. Onyango`s paper below and tell us where do we put, Kenyatta, Moi and Kibaki which Mr. Onyango have either deliberately missed or have just forgotten. Paul Nyandoto http://www.nation.co.ke/blogs/-/445642/609100/-/view/asBlogPost/-/9ie7nbz/-/index.html Charles Onyango-Obbo Bongo: Africa?s democrats, and despots, dead or alive By Charles Onyango Obbo (email the author)Posted Wednesday, June 10 2009 at 20:00 AFRICA?S LONGEST RULING president, Omar Bongo of Gabon, has gone to meet his maker. The fact that Bongo was in power for a record 42 years means it is not enough for us to say we are rid of another corrupt strongman. It is time to try and explain why people like him can survive for so long; why our leaders keep stealing our taxes and messing up our lives; and how come Comrade Bob Mugabe in Zimbabwe can run a once-great country into the grave, and yet some are still in office. The short of it is that these rulers survive because they actually enjoy support. It could be from their tribe, the army, or like Bongo, they can buy loyalty with petrodollars, but that support is often more than what the democratic opposition can muster. Even Uganda?s disastrous ?Field Marshal? Idi Amin had the undying loyalty of the rich class that grabbed the vast Asian ??abandoned properties?? after he expelled them in 1972. We tend to blame disorganised oppositions for the survival of wicked politicians like Togo?s Gnassingbe Eyadema. But wwhat else explains it equally is a cowardly, greedy, or ethnically?driven population. Bongo, let?s be fair, was not your typically abominable African strongman. His prisons were not full of journalists and opposition politicians. Though most Gabonese still live in poverty, he managed to keep very many others happy by spreading the oil money around. As The Guardian put it, Bongo ??quickly realised that money could be more effective than bullets in keeping power??. Bongo?s case also suggests that instead of lumping the continent?s leaders together, we need to develop categories for classifying them. The list of African leaders here is by no means exhaustive. 1. The Predatory Dictators: These mostly rob, kill, and ruin everything. Here put several former presidents: DRC?s Mobutu Sese Seko, Liberia?s Charles Taylor, Uganda?s Idi Amin. 2. The Progressive Despots: These don?t democratise fully and fill their prisons with critics and independent journalists, but they still build roads, railways (Bongo spent $4bn on a railway network). Here I can think of Libya?s Muammar Gaddafi, Ethiopia?s Meles Zenawi, Ghana?s Gerry Rawlings, Egypt?s Hosni Mubarak, and, from an earlier period, Cote d?Ivoire?s Felix Houphuet-Boigny. Bongo belongs here. 3. The Enlightened Strongmen: These are men who shake up their countries with bold reformists initiatives, and make them distinctly leaders in Africa in some areas, but they still keep a tight lid on political life: Tunisia?s Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Mozambique?s former President Joachim Chissano, and throw in Djibouti?s Omar Guelleh. 4. The Heartbreaker Backsliders: These started out well, held a lot of promise, and even had remarkable records in their first years, but then they went into reverse gear. Either they became two-penny despots, changed constitutions to perpetuate themselves in power, or went to the far extreme to impose a regime of terror ? as Eritrea?s Issaias Afeworki. The least bad of the lot is someone like President Museveni. Robert Mugabe belongs here (can?t dismiss his early good works). 5. The Miscast Democrats: These are decent men and women, who came to power with huge majorities, but when they are in office, they don?t convert that mandate into good or enduring works. Liberia?s Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, and former South Africa President Thabo Mbeki typify this group. 6. The 8am-5pm Regulars: Here, think of the more technocratic African presidents who came to power as freedom fighters or were elected in free elections. They govern without any drama. Are in office by 8 am and leave shortly after 5 pm, balance the national budgets, keep inflation down, and leave a healthy country that made normal progress during their rule. Botswana?s leaders ? Sir Seretse Khama, Ketumile Masire (he used to walk to the newsstand opposite his office to buy newspapers and pick coffee at a corner cafe), Festus Mogae, and now Seretse Khama Ian Khama. But, perhaps, even better examples are Mauritius? Sir Anerood Jugnauth, and Rwanda?s Paul Kagame (Rwanda, typically, just became the first country in the Third World to introduce a national immunisation programme against pneumococcal disease, one of the leading killers of children in the world). 7. The Charmed Ones: These are leaders who are nation healers, inspirational, and we have to fight with the rest of an adoring world (where they assume a saintly status) to claim them as Africa?s own. We also like to gloss over their failings. Count Tanzania?s Julius Nyerere and the great Nelson Mandela, here. cobbo at nation.co.ke --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Are you serious? That we need the PM trotting the globe as it has been his tradition for us to feel that all is OK? Really?! I mean your position is no different than a man who fails to douse his burning house and instead runs to the world proclaiming all is well and yet it is very obvious it is NOT. And hopes the neighbors would have put it out by the time he gets back so he can claim credit?what a croak! I mean Kenya?s main problems are man-made and the PM is the principle architect; are you now telling us that globe trotting by the PM will suddenly fix an economy on a downward spiral; from a healthy 7% prior to the 2007 elections to a measly 1.7% projection this year? How? The rest of the world is not as ignorant of the going-ons in Kenya and her rotten government; all the good will and confidence toward Kenya that existed in the 1st Kibaki term has steadily been eroded by the childish partisan fights championed by ODM and the PM, it is a fact. This imitation government just can?t get its act together because it has a bad mix of characters running it and there is nothing the PM can do short of disengaging from the coalition that will fix much. He and his party?s inclusion in government since last year are the main variable in the mix that has resulted in negative economic growth, lost lives through ?mass action?, continued erosion of nationhood, just to mention a few: Kibaki has simply fallen short by not being truly in control of the situation as president, his title and responsibility as president didn?t simply change just because of a two page document addition to the constitution creating the Grand Coalition government. The document was just an addendum, not a replacement or a substitute to the constitution itself; so there you have it. They have ALL failed! ? It is an oxymoron and untenable to label the PM a peace maker when he is clearly on the record a) Calling for ?Mass Action? b) Justifying murders in Rift Valley and elsewhere in the country c) Calling for criminal murder suspects to be released claiming they have done nothing wrong ?and that their actions were spontaneous and chasing after their stolen cows (as if that makes it OK to burn? children alive in churches) d) Actively seeking to avoid the prosecution of the Rutos of the world who master minded the deaths of innocent Kenyans in Kenya or at the Hague ?e) appointing murderous criminals to key positions in government as in Agriculture and starving Kenyans along the way, I mean where do we stop? The country is now clearly reaping the rewards of these actions, helloo! Is that what we wanted in government? .I think some of us are extremely na?ve and gullible and easily fall prey to the age old political manipulations perfected by these fellows and to the extent we don?t rise up and challenge our own from within, we as a nation are doomed! We must be honest with our ourselves and hold those who purport to lead us accountable, brushing important stuff a side or sweeping ills under the rug out of fear sure ain?t no way to fix Kenya; this country is sick and our so called leaders are the cancer that need to be removed. --- On Thu, 6/11/09, GALTON AMISSI wrote: From: GALTON AMISSI Subject: [YP_Ke] Re: Now Hon Raila Odinga has turned to be a global Tourist who will listen to our problems To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, June 11, 2009, 8:25 AM ?

Message-ID: <4A32121C0200004F0001E6C7@mail.phks.fi> Kenyans, It is now a collective responsibility of each and every Kenyan who wants our country to develope to take this opportunity of CDF-2009 budget and bring good brains for grassroot development. We hope that this money will bring changes onto the wondering youths who have no hope and had even lost substances for living. Some of our youths have resorted into killings as if everything is lost and think that future holds nothing for them. The coalition governmnet with his new finance minister have given atleast a better sign by increasing the CDF to every constituency in the country. I do see this as a positive sign especially now when the world economy is dropping and millioners are comiting suicide. The only worrying thing is the the GLUTTON HYENAS(Kenyan MPS) who think that the CDF belongs to them and some will hold it until death separate them apart as if they are the ones who have payed that tax. Don`t our MPs find it very amazing that the ordinary Kenyan workers have to do all that heavy work, pay tax and still give MPs salary plus CDF to be distributed. Our Mps should not be a part of this CDF since they do not pay tax. This CDF(constituency development fund) should be channelled directly to constituencies without passing through MPs: Ithink the best way is to have good samaritan committie members who are not married to an MPs sister or daughter, not even related in anyway, since Kenyans do have cousins and extended families upto almost anywhere in this planet today. It is ashame that Mps are now applauding finance minister about CDF(constituency development fund) , something they have not contributed to. Where do they think that CDF or the budget money is coming from, since they themselves DO NOT PAY TAX?. The almighty God is working in amazing way sometimes to Kenyan MPs(members of parliamnet). Just like the Isrealites days in the mountain when MANNA used to drop from heaven and people go outside to pick is how our kenyan MPs are now picking tax payers money interms of salary and CDF. Isn?t GOD amazing?. Guys: it is now time ordinary Kenyans listen and do something good, I mean empathic listening, that is listening with intent to UNDERSTAND. You look out through it, you see the world the way it is and the way it should be. No politician will rescue the ordinary man or woman especially these present Mps, no matter whether he is ODM, PNU, K-ODM whatever you want call them just go a head etc. Each and every Kenyan will have to rescue himself especially now. To the Migingo sympathisers especially from Nyanza etc; Now there is money for creating Fish ponds and this can be successful whether Museveni takes Migingo or not. You can just harvest your fish from a pond next to your door instead of fighting Kibaki and Museveni over Migingo problem. I do not mean that you forget Migingo, but life can be easier at your door steps than running upto Uganda boader or sometimes in Uganda waters risking your life for something you can achieve near your nose with the present type of technology. Anyway there will always be doudtfull THOMASES even if you give them manna in their mouth, so they who still want to complain just go a head it is your constitutional right. To me the present Kenyan workesr are my HEROS and the country`s HEROS. These Kenyan workers have done great job and should be recognised. I mean workers who pay taxation and still maintain their family, invest in Kenya etc. Not the politicians who take money outside Kenya or keep on travelling idefinately without any purpose or definative goals. Huraa, Huraa!!! to our fellow Kenyan brothers and sisters who have made it, so that Kenya keeps on breathing and stay alive.

Message-ID: <935561.64346.qm@web38703.mail.mud.yahoo.com> You and I know that from the very beginning of creation, there have always been 7 days in a week! God, who created those days, assigned each one of them according to how He needed them to be kept. According to God Himself as revealed in both the Old and New Testament, here is how He sees the 7th day of the week. -Genesis 2:1-3 He rested on the 7th day,blessed it,and made it holy. This was way before the Israelites came into the picture. -Exodus 20:8-11 He-God, commandered all to remember the Sabbath day/7th day of the week to keep it holy. In this passage, God tells us what to do with the other days of the week-work. He also ties the Sabbath with creation. -Leviticus 23:32 The sabbath hours were to be observed from evening to evening-Friday sundown-Saturday sundown -Ezekiel 20:12 The Sabbath was given as a sign that God is the one who sanctifies us -Isaiah 58:13-14 We must cease from making the Sabbath a day of pleasure/entertainment, and instead make it a day to worship the Lord of creation. -Isaiah 66:22-23 The Sabbath will be there in heaven. -Luke 4:16-17 When on earth, Jesus kept the Sabbath commandment. -Mark 2:27 Jesus declared himself the Lord of the Sabbath -Mathew 5:17 Jesus made it very clear that He had not come to change anything but rather to fulfill that which was written! -Luke 23:54-24:1 These portions of Scriptures mentions of three days of the week-Preparation day, Sabbath day, and 1st day of the week. To some, this might seem to be a waste of time and one that does not make sense. To others, they will not only oppose it, but disregard it altogether! Whichever way you might regard this study, one thing remains the same, that is what the Bible says. Nothing you and I do will change it. The bottom line is this: Let us continue to search the Scriptures. Please heed the words of Jesus as recorded in John 5:39 Blessings.

Message-ID: <4A32121C0200004F0001E6C7@mail.phks.fi> Kenyans, It is now a collective responsibility of each and every Kenyan who wants our country to develope to take this opportunity of CDF-2009 budget and bring good brains for grassroot development. We hope that this money will bring changes onto the wondering youths who have no hope and had even lost substances for living. Some of our youths have resorted into killings as if everything is lost and think that future holds nothing for them. The coalition governmnet with his new finance minister have given atleast a better sign by increasing the CDF to every constituency in the country. I do see this as a positive sign especially now when the world economy is dropping and millioners are comiting suicide. The only worrying thing is the the GLUTTON HYENAS(Kenyan MPS) who think that the CDF belongs to them and some will hold it until death separate them apart as if they are the ones who have payed that tax. Don`t our MPs find it very amazing that the ordinary Kenyan workers have to do all that heavy work, pay tax and still give MPs salary plus CDF to be distributed. Our Mps should not be a part of this CDF since they do not pay tax. This CDF(constituency development fund) should be channelled directly to constituencies without passing through MPs: Ithink the best way is to have good samaritan committie members who are not married to an MPs sister or daughter, not even related in anyway, since Kenyans do have cousins and extended families upto almost anywhere in this planet today. It is ashame that Mps are now applauding finance minister about CDF(constituency development fund) , something they have not contributed to. Where do they think that CDF or the budget money is coming from, since they themselves DO NOT PAY TAX?. The almighty God is working in amazing way sometimes to Kenyan MPs(members of parliamnet). Just like the Isrealites days in the mountain when MANNA used to drop from heaven and people go outside to pick is how our kenyan MPs are now picking tax payers money interms of salary and CDF. Isn?t GOD amazing?. Guys: it is now time ordinary Kenyans listen and do something good, I mean empathic listening, that is listening with intent to UNDERSTAND. You look out through it, you see the world the way it is and the way it should be. No politician will rescue the ordinary man or woman especially these present Mps, no matter whether he is ODM, PNU, K-ODM whatever you want call them just go a head etc. Each and every Kenyan will have to rescue himself especially now. To the Migingo sympathisers especially from Nyanza etc; Now there is money for creating Fish ponds and this can be successful whether Museveni takes Migingo or not. You can just harvest your fish from a pond next to your door instead of fighting Kibaki and Museveni over Migingo problem. I do not mean that you forget Migingo, but life can be easier at your door steps than running upto Uganda boader or sometimes in Uganda waters risking your life for something you can achieve near your nose with the present type of technology. Anyway there will always be doudtfull THOMASES even if you give them manna in their mouth, so they who still want to complain just go a head it is your constitutional right. To me the present Kenyan workesr are my HEROS and the country`s HEROS. These Kenyan workers have done great job and should be recognised. I mean workers who pay taxation and still maintain their family, invest in Kenya etc. Not the politicians who take money outside Kenya or keep on travelling idefinately without any purpose or definative goals. Huraa, Huraa!!! to our fellow Kenyan brothers and sisters who have made it, so that Kenya keeps on breathing and stay alive.

The individuals on Kenya's threshold of power are not in any way ideologically predisposed to be productive in any positive political process. Paul, the only solution is to vote all these leeches out of power. In fact our focus is to look out for newer leadership that is relevant to the needs of Kenya. We must be careful not to waste our vote in 2012. President Obama shares your views. In fact even in the Muslim world, he is focusing on the youth as a way of changing the face of world politics. The older generation (including the case of Kenya) is so impervious to new ideas - old dogs being unreceiptive to new tricks. By old I mean those who are not receptive to change. You must know what propelled President Obama to the White House was not the unchanging older generation (sometimes racist groups) but the progressive people of all forms of life and goodwill. Progressive in the sense of their ability to change and adopt to new political/ideological philosophy relevant to the political needs of our global village. Now while President Obama's roots are in Kenya, his political ideology is people-centered. His unyielding hope and vision for the USA is one thing central to his daily life. The spirit of pure public service drives the grandson of Ramogi like crazy. In every public office, Barack has put an expert. I must let you know that Barack Obama is not just a leader. He's an insurmountable phenomenon, and you aint seen nothing yet of our proud cousin. Yet it would be nonsensical for President Obama to put Kenya at the center of his foreign policy when Kenyans themselves can't vote wisely. When we vote into office a group of thieves - I say this because one who doesn't pay taxes is a criminal by reference to American Law. Our MPs don't pay taxes but they are the ones who enforce that everyone must pay taxes? In America, every person must pay taxes; and let it be clear that President Obama pays taxes and makes his tax returns public. Our members of parliament are the ones who use the most public funds, yet they don't pay taxes. Paul, can you imagine an old grandmother somewhere in Karungu or Othaya or Majengo selling omena or tomatoes! That old Mama pays her taxes to the town council and through VAT (Value Added Tax). Kibaki, Raila, the executive, the legislature, all - don't pay taxes. Yet the poorest Kenyan can't sell anything in the open market place without paying tax... These leaders don't have the morality to speak with President Barack Obama, or ask for aid from the USA. You do not expect Kibaki/Raila/MP to sit at the same table with Barack Obama and beg for aid to Kenya without being ashamed of not paying taxes or nothing about corruption in Kenya. President Obama will ask them the questions, demand for answers and ask them to end such stupidty as well as corruption before aid can be given to Kenya. >From this point, what's our plan for 2012? It's time for us to understand that the fate of our country is in our very own hands. We can use the power of the vote and revolutionalize our politics. The time is now - we, the progressive people can do better than our tribal chiefs in our offices of leadership. President Obama is on our side if we decide to change the way things are done in Nairobi. We need an unspoilt leadership if change must come to Kenya. Yet "Yes We Can" must not be an empty slogan in our ears. The time to start is now.

Writes Leo ODERA Omolo In Kapenguria, West Pokot RESIDENTS of Kang?elai Division in West Pokot District in Northern Kenya a4re living in fear following an unusual invasion of pythons that have so far killed more than 900 goats and sheep. They have sent out an SOS message to the Kenya Wildlife Services {KWS} to come to their rescue before these serpent devour young school going children.. Villagers said they suspected the pythons might migrated from their natural hideouts in Suam Forest in search of food due o prolonged drought, which had depleted their usual prey of small antelope and other wild animals. Following a brief story, which had appeared in a column of the Nairobi?s daily, the DAILY NATION, this writer made an impromptu trip to this semi-arid region whose inhabitants are mainly pastoral communities of Pokots and the Turkana to investigate the authenticity of the story .The district is located north-west of Kitale Town, the district headquarters of Trans-Nzoia along the Kenya-Uganda border .Suam Forest covers a wide area of virgin land, and is a place usually full of wild animals. But recently decimated by prolonged drought and frequent outbreak of bush fires. It has an area which is a swampy land full of Papyrus weeds, and the residents suspects this place as the breeding site for pythons. One of the civic leaders in the area Councillor John Lodiolem and the Kang?elai District Officer, Mr.Elvis Kolum said the hungry reptiles were now slithering around the villages, attacking ,killing and eating goats and sheep. They said the snakes had so far killed 936 in the past thre months.. The Dom said the villagers feared being attacked by the snakes that are searching food near the homesteads and in the grazing fields within the Division, which is also part of the Kapenguria Parliamentary constituency. Mr. Kolum said that parents now escort their children to and from school to protect from the usually shy, but powerful snakes. Councillor Lodioldem sent out an urgent appeal asking the KWS to come to the rescue of the villagers before reptiles turn and pounced on human beings..The civic leader also asked the KWS to compensate the pastrolists who have lost their livestock. Youths {Morans} have formed vigilante groups, armed themselves ?with poisoned arrows and bows have been going around hunting the Division hunting for the killer snakes and have so far killed 78 full grown pythons in the past two weeks. Thr district Game warden? Mr.Kuyoni Lemereu also confirmed that the KWS game rangers had been sent to hunt down and kill the pythons, saying they had already disposed of four reptiles. Kenya is full of mysteries, Only two months ago, a farmer in? the coastal? district of Malindi had a bout with a python which had attacked him. He only managed to release himself from the? reptile after biting its tail. Pythons is usually a shy animal, which prefer to launch a surprise attack against its prey, recoil itself around its body and kill by suffocating or smashing the animals ribs with its powerful body within minutes. It prefer smaller antelope, goats, sheep and dogs. Its other prey include rabbits and monkeys. Pythons are reclusive and secretive reptiles, and it hard to find many of them in one place, therefore the latest invasion of the such a large number of reptiles is seen by the Pokots and Turkana tribesmen as signaling bad omen in the region where deaths from starvation have been reported as a result of the current acute shortage of food grain in Northern Kenya..The reptile which prefer camouflaging itself in the thickets rarely venture out of the bush.. It is is too slow and can only move for one and half a mile in a day, but in a surprise attack against its prey it can jump several meters and land on the unsuspecting animals, which it can kill so quickly, and swallow it intact. This is? why it prefer the smaller animal. A full grown? python can measure up to between 12? and 18feet long and can weigh? between 0 and 100 kg. The most powerful is the African Rock pythons which can measure up to 22 feet. It is found on the top of the Mountains and also along the rivers and lake shores..But the reptile can turn aggressive when it is hungry. It has no poison[venom] but it has strong hook like teeth which it uses? in catching its prey.. KWS officials were unable to explain why there were so many pythons in the area, where the reptiles had come from and their natural habitat. They were equally puzzled and baffled. As to howthe reptilkes have appeared in one area in such a great number at a time.. Ends leooderaomolo at yahoo.com . . -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Only 1 voice call on the tunnel (with the excellent compression from Avaya) and you want to die because of the poor quality - for the last 2 days though. Perhaps we did not realize it because noone used it till yesterday and today... So yes, KDN sux because they have exhausted the acceptable contention ratios on their international capacity.

IN MIGINGO ISLAND FOR REFUSING TO DISH OUT BRIBERY MONEY Writes Leo Odera Omolo The security and safety of Kenyan fishermen operating on the disputed Migingo Island is getting worse day by day under Uganda occupation forces. Within only two days after the Ugandan Opposition leader Dr. Kizza Basigye had launched a scathing criticism? on the government for its poor handling of Migingo Island saga, came the disturbing news of well coordinated assault on Kenyan fishermen. .Report emerging from Migingo Island says that last Thursday,ten Ugandan security personnel patrolling pounced on eight Kenyan fishermen and beat them up senselessly. The fishermen sustained serious bodily injuries and were later taken to mainland at Muhuru Bay Trading Centre for medical treatment.. The beating took place for several hours. The fishermen were flushed out of their make shift houses hardened in one building and senselessly clobbered for several hours. Some of the victims sustained injures in their foreheads, abdomen,chest,limbs , arms and leg, requiring stitches. One fisherman Robert Otieno is suspected to have a broken jaw and travelled to Migori to seek further medical attention. His colleagues says, his injuries might require ?further surgery. Seven of the victims received treatment at Muhuru Bay. The eight fishermen, it is being alleged, were pulled out of their houses and clobbered for several hours after they were accused of failing to honor cross border fishing regulation The informed sources, however, disputed the allegation, hinting that the fishermen might have met their problem after refusing to part with bribery money. Ugandan occupation forces on Migingo island had imposed? a levy of Kshs 5,000 on each and every fisherman working on the island. The money is payable after every two weeks. They further stated,? Whoever fail to abide by this new regulation is harassed and barred from fishing near the disputed Migingo Island. Soon after the injured fishermen were ferried to the Mainland for treatment, their colleagues phoned? journalist about the incident. There is no Kenyan security men stationed on in the disputed island, though provisional agreement recently worked out by the two countries stipulated that each government should post its security personnel to carry out joint patrolling of the island. Kenya has, however, posted none. Kenyan fishermen maintained that the levies imposed on them were illegal, because the Ugandan security men take cash money, but issued no receipt to account for the cash money they had received, and the fishermen suspected them of pocketing the levy cash. Migingo Beach Management Unit, Mr. Juma Ombori strongly protested against the incident, saying that those Kenyan who were savagely beaten up by security men had not committed any fishing offence, therefore the attack was unprovoked and unwarranted. Mrf. Ombori appealed to Ugandan authorities to take drastic disciplinary action against the officers involved in the unprovoked assault on Kenyan fishermen This particular incident has heightened tension between the majority Kenyan fishermen and their minority Ugandan colleagues operating on the island. The Ugandan security men want everybody fishing near Migingo Island to pay Kshs 5,000 irrespective whether such a person is operating inside Kenyan territorial waters or not.. The physical attack on Kenyan fisherman has elicited sharp reaction from Kenyan politicians who have incessantly appealed to President Mwai Kibaki to use force to ensure that the Ugandan occupation forces are driven out of the disputed Kenyan island. A motion tot his effect was recently passed? by Parliament. President Kibaki, however, has maintained that his government would continue pursuing the issue? actively through diplomatic channels.

The deadline is the noon in Japanese standard time ( = GMT 3am) on June 26. Please send your ORGANIZATIONAL endorsements to: project.ring at gmail.com In April of 2008, Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda pledged USD 560 Million in the coming few years to the Global Fund. In March 2009, Japan has begun rolling out this money for FY 2009 with USD 194.4 Million towards the Global Fund. However, this is amount provided too slow and too low from the fair share of Japan, and far from addressing the current funding gap of the Global Fund. Now the Global Fund is facing a 5 billion USD funding shortfall, mainly due to the insufficient commitment from donor countries. Major donor countries including Japan must provide emergency funding to fill the shortfall. Thus, we are calling on Japan to provide emergency funding for the USD 5 Billion + gap faced by the Global Fund; and to ensure that Japan pays the remaining USD 316 Million by calendar year 2010 and to make a new commitment in calendar year 2010 to an amount that is equal or above to Japan's fair share for funding term beyond 2010. This statement will be sent to Mr. Taro Aso, Prime Minister of Japan through Ministry of Foreign Affairs; we have set the meeting with Mr. Masato Kitera, the Director General of Int'l Cooperation Bureau of MoFA on June 30. We are hoping for your organizational endorsement to ensure that Japan will keep its commitment in the fight against the AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis. Thank you for your solidarity! Masaki Inaba Project RING, Japan AIDS and Society Association (JASA) Africa Japan Forum (AJF) Aki Ogawa Project RING, Japan AIDS and Society Association (JASA) Africa Japan Forum (AJF) **************************************** Please also see the attached file His Excellency Taro Aso, Prime Minister of Japan, His Excellency Hirofumi Nakasone, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Japan, An Open Letter to the Government of Japan on the Needs of Resource Mobilization for the Global Fund Human security has always stood at the heart of Japanese policy; reaching out to provide aid or standing in solidarity at times when human security is threatened. In the wake of the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster, Japan provided USD 500 Million in grant aid to the thousands affected by the giant waves smashing into the coast lines. Most recently, when the economic crisis threatened the stability of the world, Japan declared a USD 17 Billion aid package to help Asian countries weather the economic downturn. Japan has quickly stepped up to the plate, providing unprecedented amount of emergency fund when catastrophes that shake the very foundations of human security occur. Today, we write to you of another crisis the world is facing: A 5 Billion+ funding gap (2008-2010) of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis, the leading financial institution in the fight against the three most infectious diseases. The Global Fund has begun to turn the tide against the three most infectious diseases that until its inception caused five million deaths every year, and have undermined the social, political and economic foundation and progress of countries. Seven years since the birth of the Global Fund, the Global Fund has approved the funding of USD 11.4 Billion for more than 550 programs in 136 countries, and is now responsible for a quarter of international financing for AIDS globally, two-thirds for tuberculosis, and three-quarters for malaria. To date the Global Fund has been responsible for: i. Providing anti-retroviral treatments for two million people living with HIV/AIDS; ii. Detecting and treating 4.6 million cases of infectious Tuberculosis; iii. Distributing 70 million insecticide treated bed nets and 74 million on treatment for malaria However, this progress towards the attainment of Millennium Development Goal 6 and Universal Access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care by 2010 is now under threat without an immediate USD 5 Billion + funding from the leading G8 countries. In addition to the tremendous human toll, the economical impact is the loss of productivity due to tuberculosis drains USD 16 billion from the annual incomes of the world's poorest communities, while resource needs to fight the disease are estimated to be USD 4.2 billion in 2009. The economic impacts of malaria are estimated to cost African countries USD 12 billion per year in lost GDP; compare that to USD 3.4 billion needed to prevent such losses. Finally, AIDS threatens to reduce GDP in African countries by up to 2.6%. In April of 2008, Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda pledged USD 560 Million in the coming few years to the Global Fund. In March 2009, Japan has begun rolling out this money for fiscal year 2009 with USD 194 Million toward the Global Fund. However this is an amount provided too slow and too low, and far from addressing the current funding gap crisis of the Global Fund. Today, we call upon the Japanese Government, once again, to answer to this emergency that is threatening human security by filling the gap of the Global Fund: 1. Provide emergency funding for the USD 5 Billion + gap faced by the Global Fund and call upon fellow G8 countries to also ensure that the funding gap is filled. 2. To ensure that this crisis will never happen again by paying the remaining USD 316 Million by calendar year 2010 and to make a new commitment in calendar year 2010 to an amount that is equal or above Japan's fair share for funding term beyond 2010 and set a deadline for this payment.

There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from each other; to respect one another; and to seek common ground.? This message came at the very right time in the history of the world. In all corners, people are not saying openly the things they hold dear in their hearts. Even in Kenya, we do not say openly the things that we hold dear in our hearts. In many cases, we engage in double-speak. At KCDN, we have decided to talk very openly about the things we hold dear and such was the occasion when we hosted the 2nd Edition of the KCDN Peace Run/Walk yesterday the 13th June 2009. DO 1 Nairobi East District Mr. Nyenje, stood in for the DC Nairobi East District and his message was that of hope. He let the people know that is spreading the message of peace, national healing and reconciliation, institutions such as KCDN were doing the right thing. He confirmed that the presence of the Band from the Administration Police was enough indication that even at the Police Force, they also want a peaceful country. Their presence in taking part in the procession must be seen as a sure move in the direction of engaging the masses in seeking a lasting solution to peace, national healing and reconciliation. He then invited our main celebrant Bishop Dr Julius Mbagaya, President of the Baptist Convention who led the people in reciting a short prayer. Mr Nyenge then flagged off the procession which was ably led by the Administration Police Band under the Command of Insp. Mwangi. We left the field, turned into Spine Road, went up to Kenol Petrol Station, turned right into Komarock, went up to Car Wash, turned right and headed back to the field. The procession took us 44 minutes. Back at the field, we had several small games and acrobatic troupes. We had games like; kati, rounders, bano, egg race, skipping rope competition, tag-of-war. The most interesting was bano where Mr. Sylvester Ogola, the student leader from Masinde Muliro University came out the winner. With the sports and entertainments done, we introduced the rest of our guests to the people. In attendance we had Mr. Elijah Kombo from Bidii and New Vision Africa, Mr. George Nyongesa and Jacob Odipo from Bunge La Mwananchi, Sylvester Ogola the President Masinde Muliro University Students, Mr. David Muriuki from Sauti Moja Kenya, Mr. Chris Kariaku and Mr. Francis Mwangi Chege from the League of Young Professionals, Ms. Caroline Ndungi from Komarocks Residents Association, Ms. Mellen Kinaru the Secretary General Komarocks Residents Association, Mr. Wilfred Kagiri and Mr. Norman Chomba from The Voice Movement, Rev. Johnson Kanyenje The Vicar ACK Komarock [Good Samaritan] and he was accompanied by Mr. Cyrus Mbogo Ireri. Our main guest was Bishop Dr. Julius Mbagaya, the President of the Baptist Convention in Kenya. Rev Kanyenje told the people to preach peace across the board and use occasions such as what KCDN had done, to help spread the word. He urged people to live as brothers and sisters in the firm knowledge that we are one people. In his powerful presentation, Bishop Mbagaya paused the question; where is the problem in Kenya? Is it the politicians? Is it the Government? Is it the professionals? Or is it the people? He absolved the Government by looking at how Government makes appointment after vetting based on known academic and other known creteria. He looked at the politicians and returned a verdict of not guilty. They are so few; only 210, and they are elected by the people. He then zeroed on the people. We are the problem in Kenya. We are given an opportunity every 5 years and we vote in people who cannot make a difference for Kenya. Time has come when the people must wake up and lead the process. Time has come when the people must also have a vetting process that outlines the calibre of leaders that we vote for. We must vet the leadership that we want. Like it happens to computers, garbage in begets garbage out. When we vote for people who have stolen from State Corporation, Government Departments, or people who have criminal and theft cases pending across the courts in Kenya, we must not expect anything better in return. Once a thief always a thief. We will only be giving then more leverage at stealing. Hence time has come for Kenyans to wake up. The time is now, the hour has come and we must all join hands to save Kenya. We then ended our day by joining in the Komarock Peace Declaration herein attached.

FOREST DWELLERS NOW WANT ?OFFICIAL RECOGNITION ?LIKE ANY? OTHER COMMUNITIES WITH NATIONAL TAG AND IDENTITY. Special Feature By Leo Odera Omolo Nearly 47 years after Kenya gained her political independence from Great Britain in 1963,the Ogiek and Sengwer forest dwellers and gatherers are still entangled in a fight for official recognition. The two communities, commonly known as ?Ndorobos?? for their skills in ?forest dwelling, hunting and honey gathering are now ressing the demand to be given community tag or tribal codes used by the government of Kenya to recognize the country?s ethnic? groups comprising of 42 different tribes. Presently, they have to suffer the ignominy of identifying themselves as either the Pokots, Nandis, Keiyos, Kiposigis and Tugens orany larger Kalenjin sub-tribes that surrounded them when they are applying for the country?s national identity cards or travelling documents such as passports. Although they speak concocted Kalenjin dialects depending on their neighbor as their first language, both communities do not consider themselves as members of the larger ethnic Kalenjin groups. Historians say the Ogiek were the original inhabitants of the Central Rift Valley leading to a general feeling that only the community can at least claim to be the Aboriginal East Africans since there is no evidence of them having come from elsewhere. Perhaps they were the first people to settle in the country highlands followed by the fiercest Maasai.. However, their unique linguistic ability to adopt the languages of the surrounding tribes led some historians to conclude that they, were not a genuinely distinct ethnic group but rather outlaws from other tribes who found refuge in the forest, and as such cannot be classified as ?Bush Men? like those people found in Kalahari Desert in Botswana/Namibia in Southern Africa. The last two of Kenya?s forest dwelling aboriginal communities are facing government?s move to evic them from their natural habitat. Members of the Ogiek and Sengwer ethnic ?groups are facing displacement from, the gazette forests reserves located in various parts of Rift Valley Province and to a les extent Western Province., in areas which they consider part of their ancestral homes.. The Ogiek inhabits the controversial Mau Forest Complex, which is already declared as one of the most important water catchment in the country and some parts of Mt. Elgon ?in Western Province, while the Sengwer, also known as Cherangany or Kimaala are currently distributed in Trans-Nzoia, Marakwet,Baringo east and Koibatek as well as in West Pokot districts. Traditionally, the two communities are hunters and gatherers and have long been considered as guardians and protectors of the forests.But their lifestyle, or atleast whatremains of it, are about to change drastically and forever duye to conservation efforts. The government of Kenya says the two communities have now changes their modes of living to commercial agriculture and are now posing a great risk to the forest and water catchment areas, which their ancestors once fought hard to conserve. The plight of Sengwer and Ogiek communities, facing eviction from their forest homes, once again casts the spotlights on the issue of land reforms in Kenya. The genesis of their plight is traced to the British colonialists desire for agricultural land. The two communities like their cousins the Kipsigis, the Nandis , Keiyos and Tugens once inhabited fertile lands, which the white settlers designated as ?The White Highlands? These regions were found by the arriving white settlers to be ideal for growing cash crops such as tea, coffee, dairy cattle and for large scale food crops farming.. The colonialists with the backing of British troops, local colonial? police force and their surrogate local chiefs, rounded up the locals and herded the communities into semi-arid reserves land and turned their lands into large scale plantations.. ?However, the Ogiek and Sengwer were ignored and viewed as useless, unproductive since they did not have a history of plant cultivation.?, according to a young Sengwer lawyer, Mr. Onesmus Kipchumba. It is form this reason that in 1913? the colonial government struck an agreement with the Sengwer community that allowed them forests to live to open spaces within their forests. They were also given grazing? permits for their cattle, says Marakwet ?East MP Jebii Kilimo . Information obtained from archives show the Oiek was first targeted in 19o3 by the British. The first movement of the Ogiek occurred in 1908 when they were removed from their homes near Lake Nakuru to Olare area in Mau Forest? Another process in which both communities lost their was through the declaration, they rendered squatters overnight, liable for prosecution for trespassing their own land.. The Kenya Land Commission? of 1939, which was known as the Carter Commission, recommended be evicted from all the forests and be concentrated on either the European farms as squatters or in forestry department labor camps. The Ogiek were later moved into tribal reserves of other communities, especially the Nandis,kipsigis and Maasai.The objective behind this was to assimilate the two communities into the larger ones. This also proved impractical since the Ogiek immediately abandoned the reserves and went back to the forest, their natural habitat where they lived as squatters. In fact there is a place in Belgut, Kericho district which is called Kapogiek, meaning the home of the Ogiek up now,. The village is located along the Kericho Kisumu road a few kilometers before Kaitui Marke ? Mr.J.K.Towett of the Ogiek Welfare Association are currently busy loving hard for the two communities to be recognize The Luo-Abasuba another minority ?group The were given ?their own district and even their vernacular languages included in local government broadcasting system? based in Kisumu. The Ogiek and Sengwer could win the same battle, but unfortunately they are scattered allover the expansive Rift Valley Province, unlike the Luoi-Abasuba ... The community , however, blames the retired President Daniel Arap Moi for having ignoring their plight during his 24 years reign of power.Moi, gave them some farms in Kuresoiu, Olenguruone and Mau Forest, but these are the people now facing eviction.. ? They were last moth evicted from the forest in East Marakwet b y a contingent of combined police and army personnel who torched their houses and cleared the area. The community blames the retired President Daniel Arap Moi, who they accusedf9rhaving ignored their incessant pleas to be accorded national tribal code and identity during his twenty four nears presidency?

Video Attach.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCf8qQiRYB0? ? I have read with disgust and shock that some?African countries Leaders have petitioned the United Nations fo fire? Philip Alston, the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial killings?from his position as a special rapporteur because of reporting on Kenya at the Hague. ? I concur, welcome ?and support the reports emphasis which is vital and urgent and that Hague can do a?better service delivery to Kenyans than the Kenya Government Judiciary Administration.??The Document contained a shared comprehensive view by Kenyans that Mr. Alston report will help bring some justice to the fore.? I cannot overemphasize how important and considerate Mr. Alston was in providing a?way forward to safety and security to Kenyans by the move he took and that Hague is the way forward. This will give a breather in providing collective security to all in Kenya. ? We are presently faced with current threats of disrupted National peace and security from?diverse forces, that which include?most dear stolen public properties, assets and resources, to those of pirating sponsored by cartel groupings with connection of some Government power house, who are inter-connected, to those of?invasion of Migingo by Museveni, to the systematic?organized poverty experienced in Kenya by politicians, to the?Mungiki gangs sponsored by the same politicians including the organized Police hooliganism......Mr. Alston saw the grave danger Kenyans were exposed to and sympathized with Kenyans from moral perspectives.? Through his expert consultations and judgement, he saw an urgent need to forward the matter to Hague where recommendations for strengthening security can provide a collective security provisions to all?Kenyans under the United Nations Treaty Agreement.? ? I therefore state that,?a report on Kenyan police killings presented at a United Nations Conference in Geneva is a true picture of events?and a grave Violation?Human Rights in Kenya.?It has not been exagerated and they are plain facts as known on the ground by all Kenyans.?Those creating double standard?controversies over Mr. Alston's report are acting on delinquency influence of demeanor, people who are known to delve on compounding corruption and impunity, who are characteristically?specialized?on Human Rights Violation, and who are will to go to any length to suppress justice and cover their wicked deeds.?The police reforms are as a matter of concern overdue. ? The African Nations Group in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) unfairly listed and leveled altogether ganged?accusations against Prof Alston on Kenya?s extrajudicial killings and urged its president, Martin Ihoeghian Uhomoibhi, not to renew Prof Alston?s mandate, which ends in June. In a strongly-worded statement read to the UNHRC in Geneva on Monday, the African Group, represented by Egypt, expressed its displeasure at the conduct of the special rapporteur during his tour of duty in Kenya and the way he framed his final report on police executions. The statement was read by?Mr Amr Roshdy. ? In our eyes, Mr. Alston did Kenya and Kenyans a true justice by forwarding the report as is to the?Hague the Geneva meeting.? He is our Hero....He made us proud, that someone would take a poor man's voice to the level of Hague, this alone is highly commended and a credit to Mr. Alston.? I can say here that Mr. Alston has a true human heart of empathy.? ? The position taken by Africa Nations Group is totally wrong, and?must be?condemned in the strongest terms.? We all know the move and motive?to punish Mr. Alston came about and?was engineered by?the PNU side in the Grand Coalition Government, who accused Prof Alston of acting outside his mandate.?The Nation Newspaper recently?reported that Attorney General Amos Wako had lobbied the African Group to push for a resolution before the UNHRC to censure the special rapporteur. My question therefore, whose interest are these so called African Nations Leaders serving???Because it is not those of the Republic of Kenya. ? As a voice of reason, and echoing voices of many, I would like to state that Mr. Philip Alston is the best darling?to the?majority Kenyans.? He is the True Human Rights Advocate presently known in Kenya whose work can be trusted and relied upon. The report he gave is not news to many Kenyans as well as the International Community.? It is an open book that no one was able to open and read it out aloud like the way Mr. Alston did.? I commend him for the bravery act he put to save Kenyans having gone through many agony and issues. ? Largely the reforms were to abide by the principles of transparency and accountability; foster and promote relationships with the broader society and co-ordinate, supervise and control all private and quasi-government security organizations to ensure safety and security in Kenya.? This has not happened or will never happen?any sooner. Parliament should address the issue of tenure of the Police Commissioner and the CID Director. ? Other Cited Evidential Facts?that Backs Mr. Alston's Report? ? The police have been accused of violating human rights in recent times, Residents live in fear of youths, gang and the police.? Interviews with locals Kenyans bring about a picture of a people trodden in fear of Mungiki, vigilantes and the police.? We are dealing here with situation of brutality and vicious gangs and the police.? There is totally no security for the people and fear is felt all over the Nation. ? Failed policies has been sited even by Ms Karua who continually hit out at the police, accusing them of working in a disjointed manner and failing to go to the aid of citizens when marauding gangs attack. Karua targeted failed policies employed by the force and which the Judiciary has partly contributed to the present situation in Kenya. She also condemned the shoot-to-kill policy as illegal.? It is also Violation Against Human Rights.?It has been proved that?there is lack of goodwill from those responsible. For reforms to be effectively carried out, the Government system and the security machinery must be effectively coordinated. ? The Commission on Post-Election Violence (Cipev) delivered a stinging indictment of institutional failure and complicity of internal security apparatus in gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity. ? Justice Philip Waki claimed the police "failed institutionally to contain violence".? The Cipev report accused some State agents of being "guilty of acts of violence, and in?their finding, it is found to be?a serious violation of human rights Citizenry" and states that such were the results of a trend towards institutionalizing violence against the public. ? The Waki Report estimates that 1,133 Kenyans were killed during post-election violence. Of these, 405 had gunshot wounds. Waki recommended that the reform process explore international capacity building possibilities for policing in general with a specific focus on criminal investigations, community based policing and information collection analysis and dissemination. ? When recently?interviewed by?a News Reporter, Mr. Chris Murungaru responded that, "Police reform is a marvelous idea and should be supported by all. It will give the force a new image. It will also give the Government opportunity to retrain the officers to comply with the latest technological skills so they are not rendered redundant. This is part of the policies we are undertaking in the Provincial Administration and Internal Security". ? The Public Mandate requires the process of carrying out further reforms in the police must include the immediate resignation of Attorney-General Amos Wako and the sacking of police commissioner Maj Gen Hussein Ali, followed by an overhaul?Police system in order that trust and normality can set in Kenya for reforms to take effect.? ? Amnesty also reported on the?impunity among police and military officers persisted. The same verdict is declared on the government over the claims of rape, torture, beatings and use of excessive force during a joint police-military operation in Mandera district. The joint operation was to curb the influx of illegal arms from the Horn of Africa. Amnesty says that various torture and killings claims were made against the military during the ?Operation Okoa Maisha? in the Mt Elgon area but the government is yet to investigate them. The Kenyan Government has been censured for failing to put in place measures to bring to justice violators of human rights. Amnesty International highlights impunity as the major issue hindering human rights in Kenya. Amnesty International reports that during the post-election violence and in the conflict in the Mount Elgon area, women and girls were subjected to rape and other forms of sexual violence. ?Violence against girls and women was widespread. The government did not impose a moratorium on forced evictions. Public health facilities were poorly funded, equipped and maintained,? the report that covers 2008 says. However, the alleged perpetrators of gender-based violence, including the police and other law enforcement officials, were hardly ever brought to justice. The rights group also says that state security agencies, in 2008, continued to torture and kill suspects with impunity. ?The government denied these allegations but had not instituted independent and impartial investigations by the end of the year.? With Mr. Alston's report, justice is at the door.? ? We hope the critisism from these African Leaders will not be taken serious, because they are not serving Kenyan Republic interest. ? Sincerely, ?

News You Use Halliburton Loophole Hydraulic fracturing is the process that increases oil and gas yields by shooting an oftentimes toxic brew of chemicals underground at high pressures. Hydraulic fracturing is suspected of endangering drinking water in six states. Poisoning drinking water should be a violation of federal law. Unfortunately, a provision slipped into the highly-controversial Energy Policy Act of 2005 at the request of Halliburton, Exxon and a handful of other corporations, exempted the oil and gas industry from having to comply with critical provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act -a law that protects underground sources of drinking water for millions of Americans. Due to the "Halliburton Loophole" exemption, EPA lacks the authority to investigate instances of contamination and cannot regulate this controversial practice. Members of Congress recently introduced legislation to close the "Halliburton Loophole" and ensure that Big Oil has to follow the same laws as every other industry. H.R. 2766, introduced by Diana DeGette (D-CO), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), and Jared Polis (D-CO); and S. 1215 introduced by Bob Casey (D-PA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would regulate hydraulic fracturing under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Please contact members of your congressional delegation and ask them to cosponsor these important pieces of legislation. You can take action today! Simply log on to http://action.earthjustice.org/campaign/hydrofracturing_0609/7n3x862q77n353w?#. It only takes a few minutes to send a letter that could encourage congress to pass legislation to protect our drinking water. Environmental Racism: The American Way By John Burl Smith Anytime the word "racism" comes up, white Americans tune everything that follows out. They view such statements as attempts by blacks and people of color to blame or paint them as "Ku Klux Klan" types, burning crosses and spewing hatred. Over the years, many have come to apply a broader meaning to the term. For them it indicates an insensitivity by those with power toward those without power and the use of that power to exploit, injure, deprive or otherwise enforce standards or laws against a particular race or class that is socioeconomically and/or politically incapable of resisting. Such actions may not result from a conscious decision; it may simply be their job as part of a larger systemic function that is racist in affect. The actions of ordinary Germans, during the reign of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, are a glaring examples. Slavery and "Jim Crow" segregation in America resulted in racism becoming infused in the psyche of whites, like religion, therefore discriminating against slave descendants occurs without thought. "It's just the way things are!" Changing that attitude requires changing America; eliminating white privilege and defacto white superiority. White supremacy is an attitude that is endemic throughout government, business, industry, public and private institutions because, like Germans, white Americans believe they are superior to blacks. Moreover, whites continue to resist, beyond symbolic changes, efforts to end racist practices. Environmental racism is one example of how whites systemically maintain their lifestyle at the expense of slave descendants. A case in point is Holt v. Dickson. This case has been featured in numerous national media outlets, including CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, Essence, Crisis and People Magazines. It has been profiled in a study prepared for the United Church of Christ's Justice and Witness Ministries, entitled Toxic Wastes and Race at Twenty1987-2007. Released in March of 2007, the study's authors tagged the Dickson case as the "poster child" of environmental racism. These newspaper and magazine articles detailed how in 1968, the same year Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, Dickson County began allowing toxic wastes to be dumped at its landfill. Leakage of trichloroethylene or TCE a deadly toxic chemical from the Dickson County Landfill poisoned the Harry Holt family's wells. Just 54 feet from the landfill, the Holt property is located in the historically black Eno Road community, which was built during the "Jim Crow" era. The Holt family has owned their 150-acre homestead for four generations. Generations of Holts and their relatives survived the horrors of post-slavery racism, followed by "Jim Crow" segregation in the Eno Road community, but they may not survive the toxic assault and contamination from the nearby landfill. Toxic chemicals from the county-owned landfill slowly killed Harry "Highway" Holt on January 9, 2007, at age 66, after a long bout with cancer. A founding member of the Nashville gospel group, the Dynamic Dixie Travelers, Mr. Holt is buried alongside dozens of his relatives in the old Worley Furnace Baptist Church Cemetery, on a hill overlooking the old dump. Some grave markers in the cemetery date back more than a century. Presently, Sheila Holt Orsted, an elder daughter, is battling breast cancer. Even though government officials became aware of the TCE contamination in the Holt family wells in 1988, they continued to assure the family their wells were safe. TCE is a known carcinogen. In 2003, the Holt family sued the city and county of Dickson, the State of Tennessee, and the company that dumped the TCE. The family is represented by NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc. (LDF). Five years later, the case is still pending. A governmental facility's toxic environmental racism has not only destroyed a hard-working African American family's health but contaminated their land, diminishing the family's transformative and intergenerational wealth (loss of their land's value). Nonetheless, Dickson County's solid waste toxic assault continues. Currently operating a recycling center, garbage transfer station and a construction and demolition landfill at the Eno Road site, 20-25 heavy-duty diesel trucks enter the sites each day, leaving behind noxious fumes, dangerous particulates, household garbage, recyclables and demolition debris from around Middle Tennessee. The garbage transfer station alone handles approximately 35,000 tons annually. Dickson County covers more than 490 square miles, an equivalent of 313,600 acres. African Americans make up less than five percent of the county's population and occupy less than one percent of the county's land. Yet, the only cluster of solid waste landfills in the county is located in the small Eno Road community. Back on November 29, 2007, the National Black Environmental Justice Network (NBEJN), Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark Atlanta University (EJRC), Race Relation Institute at Fisk University (RRI), Deep South Center for Environmental Justice at Dillard University (DSCEJ), Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice (DWEJ), and WE ACT for Environmental Justice, Inc. (WEACT), held what they called "Take Back Black Health Toxics Tour." This was a national campaign to spotlight the deadly mix of toxic racism and TCE contamination on an African American family (the Holts). The tour included a coalition of national leaders, representing environmental justice, civil rights, scientists, women's health, academia, faith-based religious groups, elected officials and congressional staffers from around the country. They met at Fisk University and traveled to Dickson County to view the devastating impact of toxic contamination on the family. Tour organizers hoped to raise awareness and to pressure Congress and other national leaders to make environmental racism --- the elimination of environmental hazards in low-income and people of color communities --- a national priority. Dickson is not an isolated occurrence. Unfortunately, it epitomizes differential exposure and unequal protection facing African Americans and other people of color across this land. Nationally, African Americans are 79 percent more likely than whites to live in neighborhoods where industrial pollution is suspected of posing the greatest health danger. Congress held two hearings in 2007 on this unequal burden borne by slave descendants and people of color, but nothing has been done and there is no plan to do anything. Unfortunately, even more disappointing, Pres. Barack Obama's administration, Secretary of the Environmental Protection Agency, Nobel-laureate Stephen Chu and Dr. Thomas R. Frieden CDC Director are all mum on all issues related to blacks and environmental racism. They are a part of the denial process that reinforces systemic racism in America. By not using the "bully pulpit" to address such issues, having a black president does little, if anything, to serve the needs and interests of black and minority communities in what are clearly life and death situations. With such blatant examples of racism which are clearly tied to slavery and "Jim Crow" segregation, the so-called post-racial period that supposedly began with the election of Barack Obama is just another flower on the grave of promised change made during the ?08 campaign.

The graves are part of a cemetery that dates back to the 1800s. Located in the shadows of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport's fifth runway, the cemetery lies between the Stephens MDS landfill and a quarry. According to Stephens MDS officials, "The cemetery is inaccessible and had not been visited for years before news of the possible move was announced.." Stephens MDS plans to expand its landfill by digging up the graves, some of which could be the resting place of slaves, and rebury them in a Riverdale cemetery. Activists claim the planned grave removal is based in racism and greed. Stephens MDS' owner, John Stephens, has contributed to the campaigns of all five Clayton County commissioners and has done business with the county. A number of lawsuits were filed to halt the removal, and the county's district attorney, Tracy Graham Lawson received requests to conduct an investigation. Lawson cleared the permit process of any wrongdoing shortly after launching an investigation. On Thursday, Clayton County Superior Court Judge Albert Collier dismissed the final lawsuits, paving the way for the graves' removal later this month. Politics Y2K9 Snyder v. United States On Monday, the Supreme Court refused to hear a Marine's lawsuit blaming the government's dumping of toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina for his son's illnesses. The high court declined to hear an appeal by Donal McLean Snyder Jr. of a lower courts' dismissal of his lawsuit. Snyder lived at Camp Lejeune as a young 1st lieutenant in the 1970s. According to his lawsuit, the dumping of trichloroethylene, an ingredient in cleaning solvents, into the ground polluted the water. Snyder's son was born in 1971 with a congenital heart defect. Snyder's pregnant wife drank the water at Camp Lejeune. According to court documents, Donal McLean Snyder III is facing a second open heart surgery. Health officials think that as many as 1 million people may have been exposed to water toxins over a span of about three decades before the wells were closed 22 years ago. The lower courts said trichloroethylene was not regulated as a dangerous substance until the late 1970s. Because of that, the government cannot be faulted for the dumping at Camp Lejeune while Snyder's wife was pregnant with their son. Federal health officials plan to withdraw a 1997 assessment of health effects from the contamination at Camp Lejeune because of omissions and scientific inaccuracy. The past statement had said the chemicals posed little or no cancer risk to people at Camp Lejeune. (Sources: www.ap.com and www.usmc.mil/clsurvey ) Disgruntled feels: Gouged! It is that time of year again -- the summer driving season - when families hit the road to visit grandparents and the nation's tourist destinations. And, just like clockwork, the oil and gas industry is raising prices. At the pump, regular gas has jumped more than fifty cents a gallon since April in my area. Sure, the price of a barrel of oil has risen, but the increase in gas has lost all relationship to the raw material. Moreover, the gas stations raise prices simultaneously. Independent companies can only succeed in synchronizing price changes like this through collusion. In case you missed it, consumers are being gouged and no one is doing a darn thing about it, just like when oilmen Bush and Cheney were in the White House. Disgruntled says: Senators Joseph Lieberman and Lindsay Graham are threatening to shut down the Senate, if legislation they have authored does not become law. The draft legislation, if passed and signed into law, would retroactively prevent the release of photographs of tortured detainees. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the ACLU has asked that these photos be released. According to press reports, Lieberman and Graham are concerned that releasing these photographs will "compromise our national security in the name of freedom of information and transparency." And, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has warned that "Baghdad will burn," should these photos become public. Apparently, the Obama administration supports the legislation. Some of these photos have already been leaked to the public. We know Americans engaged in horrific acts, but hiding this information from the public will not change the fact that these things happened and the perpetrators should be punished, including those who authorized the torture. Whatever happened to the rule of law and integrity? In the long run, suspending those will be more damaging to the US than releasing the torture photos. Disgruntled wants to know: The banks and insurance companies that received huge government bailouts enjoyed tremendous support among our nation's lawmakers. After all, these institutions are some of the world's largest campaign contributors. Not that there is any quid pro quo! Likewise, some of the senators that voted against allowing the Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco are some of the top recipients of tobacco industry campaign contributions, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia. Given our elected officials tend to support those making the biggest campaign contributions or businesses in which they have personal investments, the question is, how do citizens prevent businesses that pollute the environment and endanger our health from conducting their operations when our elected officials and judiciary, who are supposed to enforce the law and protect and serve the public, do just the opposite? Mailbox: E-Mails, Faxes and Telephone Calls Strange_Days at topica.com ...Coal Ash Spills Too Dangerous to Reveal to Public, DHS Says.."There is a huge muzzle on me and my staff," Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said. "Homeland Security and the Army Corps (of Engineers) have decided in the interests of national security they can't make these sites known." Just how bad has the coal ash situation gotten in the United States? So bad that the Department of Homeland Security has told Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) that her committee can't publicly disclose the location of coal ash dumps across the country. The pollution is so toxic, so dangerous, that an enemy of the US -- or a storm or some other disrupting event -- could easily cause them to spill out and lay waste to any area nearby. Boxer is sending a letter, she told reporters Friday, to DHS and the Army Corps, pressing for public release of the information and asking for a more thorough explanation and a comparison of this policy of secrecy to policies around Superfund-listed sites and nuclear sites. "We don't need legislation if they do their job," she said. A recent coal ash spill in Tennessee devastated the surrounding area, was 100 times worse than the Exxon-Valdez spill, said Boxer, and will cost a billion dollars to clean up. That one's not secret.

As it turns out, there's a more direct connection between the current swine flu outbreak and North Carolina: Scientists working to understand the genetic makeup of the H1N1 virus that causes the disease have linked it to a virus behind a 1998 swine flu outbreak at an industrial hog farm in Sampson County, North Carolina's leading hog producer. Email www.legitgov.org...Breaking: WHO declares influenza A(H1N1) 'swine flu' a pandemic 11 Jun 2009 An emergency meeting of the World Health Organization (WHO) has ended by declaring the influenza A(H1N1) or "swine flu" outbreak a global pandemic. According to the world's peak health body more than 28,000 cases of influenza A(H1N1) have been reported globally and over 141 confirmed deaths. In at least two regions of the world the virus is spreading, with rising cases being seen in the UK, Australia, Japan and Chile. Email www.scrippsnews.com ..Recycled radioactive metal contaminates consumer products...By Isaac Wolf...Thousands of everyday products and materials containing radioactive metals are surfacing across the United States and around the world. Common kitchen cheese graters, reclining chairs, women's handbags and tableware manufactured with contaminated metals have been identified, some after having been in circulation for as long as a decade. So have fencing wire and fence posts, shovel blades, elevator buttons, airline parts and steel used in construction. A Scripps Howard News Service investigation has found that -- because of haphazard screening, an absence of oversight and substantial disincentives for businesses to report contamination -- no one knows how many tainted goods are in circulation in the United States. But thousands of consumer goods and millions of pounds of unfinished metal and its byproducts have been found to contain low levels of radiation, and experts think the true amount could be much higher, perhaps by a factor of 10. Email www.ap.com Pollution experts: Save fish from drugs in water...By Jeff Donn...Pollution experts on Tuesday pressed a congressional panel for stronger action to keep pharmaceuticals and other contaminants out of the water, saying they are hurting fish and may threaten human health. Thomas P. Fote, a New Jersey conservationist who sits on the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, said the pollutants are damaging commercial fisheries. He told congressmen not to "study a problem to death and never do anything." Fote appeared in a lineup of witnesses Tuesday before the subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife of the House Natural Resources Committee.The witnesses pointed to research showing damage to fish and other aquatic species from pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other industrial chemicals, especially those that alter growth-regulating endocrine systems. Some scientists worry about the potential of similar harm to humans. **************************************************** For comments, questions or to unsubscribe, email thedish at ga.net. ***************************************************** From prcanb at yahoo.com Sun Jun 14 22:35:49 2009 From: prcanb at yahoo.com (Absalom Birai) Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2009 19:35:49 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Jambo] Shift of "Just a thought!" to my blog!

There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from each other; to respect one another; and to seek common ground.? This message came at the very right time in the history of the world. In all corners, people are not saying openly the things they hold dear in their hearts. Even in Kenya, we do not say openly the things that we hold dear in our hearts. In many cases, we engage in double-speak. At KCDN, we have decided to talk very openly about the things we hold dear and such was the occasion when we hosted the 2nd Edition of the KCDN Peace Run/Walk yesterday the 13th June 2009. DO 1 Nairobi East District Mr. Nyenje, stood in for the DC Nairobi East District and his message was that of hope. He let the people know that is spreading the message of peace, national healing and reconciliation, institutions such as KCDN were doing the right thing. He confirmed that the presence of the Band from the Administration Police was enough indication that even at the Police Force, they also want a peaceful country. Their presence in taking part in the procession must be seen as a sure move in the direction of engaging the masses in seeking a lasting solution to peace, national healing and reconciliation. He then invited our main celebrant Bishop Dr Julius Mbagaya, President of the Baptist Convention who led the people in reciting a short prayer. Mr Nyenge then flagged off the procession which was ably led by the Administration Police Band under the Command of Insp. Mwangi. We left the field, turned into Spine Road, went up to Kenol Petrol Station, turned right into Komarock, went up to Car Wash, turned right and headed back to the field. The procession took us 44 minutes. Back at the field, we had several small games and acrobatic troupes. We had games like; kati, rounders, bano, egg race, skipping rope competition, tag-of-war. The most interesting was bano where Mr. Sylvester Ogola, the student leader from Masinde Muliro University came out the winner. With the sports and entertainments done, we introduced the rest of our guests to the people. In attendance we had Mr. Elijah Kombo from Bidii and New Vision Africa, Mr. George Nyongesa and Jacob Odipo from Bunge La Mwananchi, Sylvester Ogola the President Masinde Muliro University Students, Mr. David Muriuki from Sauti Moja Kenya, Mr. Chris Kariaku and Mr. Francis Mwangi Chege from the League of Young Professionals, Ms. Caroline Ndungi from Komarocks Residents Association, Ms. Mellen Kinaru the Secretary General Komarocks Residents Association, Mr. Wilfred Kagiri and Mr. Norman Chomba from The Voice Movement, Rev. Johnson Kanyenje The Vicar ACK Komarock [Good Samaritan] and he was accompanied by Mr. Cyrus Mbogo Ireri. Our main guest was Bishop Dr. Julius Mbagaya, the President of the Baptist Convention in Kenya. Rev Kanyenje told the people to preach peace across the board and use occasions such as what KCDN had done, to help spread the word. He urged people to live as brothers and sisters in the firm knowledge that we are one people. In his powerful presentation, Bishop Mbagaya paused the question; where is the problem in Kenya? Is it the politicians? Is it the Government? Is it the professionals? Or is it the people? He absolved the Government by looking at how Government makes appointment after vetting based on known academic and other known creteria. He looked at the politicians and returned a verdict of not guilty. They are so few; only 210, and they are elected by the people. He then zeroed on the people. We are the problem in Kenya. We are given an opportunity every 5 years and we vote in people who cannot make a difference for Kenya. Time has come when the people must wake up and lead the process. Time has come when the people must also have a vetting process that outlines the calibre of leaders that we vote for. We must vet the leadership that we want. Like it happens to computers, garbage in begets garbage out. When we vote for people who have stolen from State Corporation, Government Departments, or people who have criminal and theft cases pending across the courts in Kenya, we must not expect anything better in return. Once a thief always a thief. We will only be giving then more leverage at stealing. Hence time has come for Kenyans to wake up.

Message-ID: <780570.31688.qm@web51905.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Dear Ramah, ? Your thought is misguided totally. First, Carols husband has been leaving home many a times to pursue what can be termed as his dreams with the wifes consent. He should therefore be willing to let Carol pursue her dreams too. Marriage is about sacrifice for the better good. Carol feels the pressure and pain of leaving a family behind. She truly does. If this is what is going to make her happy and fulfilled, she should go ahead and do it. Sure the children are young and need motherly love, but if this is what Carol seriously wants and doesn't do it for reasons you just stated, she will come to loathe her family for taking away the one thing that she truly aspired to achieve. ? Carol, its your life and family, think and talk to your family and? good luck. ? ? regards. --- On Tue, 6/9/09, RAMAH SALIM wrote: From: RAMAH SALIM Subject: [YP_Ke] Re: Is It Worth Loosing your Family for a Career?

Carolyn, ? I can feel you.? ? But before I respond this is what I?would like?to share?according to?traditional perspective?and culture?that for years have?placed women at a disadvantage in achieving educational potentials?for?higher learnings.?Yet on the otherside, if you wish to wait to get married after achieving PHD you?become a?hard stuff for marriage, that you now know too much. Many would treat women going away from home for further learning is seen and treated as a taboo.? And this is wrong. Men also take advantage that once you are married they assume women should not move away from home to pursue further education or achievements and will find all reason to discourage you because they worry of too much responsibilities as well as insecurity. ? If I have to give my advice, both ways works well?depending on the mind set of an individual and how they will counsel with the husband and reason her case out.? Some men even with the best of reasoning will not buy your case.? Many of this type of men feel challenged?when women lookforward to higher learning.? But hey, this is a chance you cannot let go, especially in this generation, put yourself together and go for it. ? Now how do you go about this, and sharing through my experience, it worked well with me.? I left my family behind i.e. my husband and children,?who joined me afterwards. It?was a big challenge with?responsibilities?and lots?of test on my husband side.? ? Other women find it an opportunity to ween your husband over, or in-laws clawing in to take advantage of your absence poising to close in for renewed relationship with unwelcome opinionated?idiologies, things they would not do in your presence.??This is all done out of jelousy.? They will then create reasons that your husband is hungry for sex and times are not good to?fool around, so he need a permanent women in the house to service his sexual needs, Or that you will become to intelligent for him to control.? Good marriage life is not control, it is dialogue under mutual context.? Marriage is sharing between the two.? Third party are opportunists. ? So there are consequences in leaving your husband behind, it would be best you?go abroad both of you, but since he already have his PHD there are lots of competition out here it might not be good for him?unless?he is a kind of person who can adjust easily and take alternative jobs not of his professionalism to push on until he settles down.? That would be good for the children but I?bet not your husband in the short time.? You can start by shoping a job for him in the UN job bulletin such like but I would not advice you leave him behind.? Women back at home are desparate and have turned into vultures.? They are ready to abandon their own husbands and family to enjoin with your husband.? They will ravenously attack your husband and before you know it, he has fallen prey.? Then afterwords, he will looks like a?chicken submerged into water, not knowing what or how it happened.? ? Your career advancement is important to both of you and your family. It is an investment no one should take lightly.? You must talk to your husband again and again and again.? Make sure you exhausts all options and identify who are the benefitiaries, those?who would finally gain from your educational achievements.? People who feed him with stories do not belong to your family member inner circle, they only spit hot air and are selfish spoilers, so in actual sense, it is him and you to both decide.? Those from outside are completely irrelevant.? They will talk but you remain in control of your house.? However, having said that, I cannot give 100% credit?to women too, I have seen some come out here and after tasting independent life, money and power, they?change and abandon their husbands, that again would be the men?fear, I cannot blame them.? It depends on how strong you can weather these challenges. So when you exhaust?discussing, you need to address his side of fears as well and make sure you have covered all sides of the weaknesses before you settle on whether he comes along with you or he remains with the children behind. ? This is a matter both?men and women must take into consideration?and discuss very intimately, exhaustively and seriously and both must adjust and appreciate and accept its a big challenge facing the family and a?dangerous test of their marriage.? Men should appreciate women's achievements and encourage them with love.? Whatever happens be ready to protect your marriage at all costs, while at the same time go and fulfill your career as your hearts desire, you will not regret it. ? This is where you can tell a true man?from a fake one, a true woman?from a?materialistic type. It is at this test you can weigh commitments to marriages.......For Better For Worse?Until Death Do Us Part............It is from where you can tell whether your marriage was formed on a quick sand or a firm ground.........many men as opposed to women dont take marriages seriously, they at later stage abandon their wives and children and go for a prostitute.? They get involved from sexual passion urge without consulting the inner-self part then assuming it is the True Love, forgetting their marriage vows.? This is sinful before God's Commandments?and should be punnished before the Law of Land.? They should be made accountable for pain and loss of trust in the marriage.? This type of love do not last wherever they go.? These men end up being misserable and truely regret for their actions.? It is why as a woman you must remain firm and non compromising. When you are out of sight, you are out of love. The Domestic family can only be sustained by observing God's word.? It is the purpose for God's creation.....it is the nuclea of the foundation of the Universe........it is from where the Devil has the most attack and attention to destroy..........you must be prepared to fight it and stay alert....... ? Make sure?even when you are away, keep your marriage on fire.? Send him love letters and show him how you miss him.? He needs to do likewise.? Make sure sometimes you show up unnoticed in exchange, allow him to visit you as well, just to make sure everything is fine with your house.??Dont trust even the very close friends,?you will be surprised they?may?turn to be your biggest enemy. ?

This holier than thou attitude doesn't solve anything.the whole article is male bashing and? like it is the norm nowadays is coming from yet another woman who is an authority on men and how they behave.In society there are misfits and they are both men and women but women like blaming men for their problems.The wife who sleeps with the shamba boy is lonely but if its a man with the househelp all men behave so.What about the career women sleeping with their bosses? If both parties are married who has brain cancer there? If you decide to be a career woman what motivation do you need? It was your choice.Do you see any man saying he needs encouragement to go to work?Asking the man to be this or that towards you again amounts to the woman trying to dictate to the man how to behave.If you don't like someone's character it means you two are incompatible.Not trying to change every single man you meet then when all else fails you run to your friends crying about how the man 'in your life' is such a big baby. On finances,leave any man to himself and he will be fine.Its the myriad things women want that make this income fall short.To that womenfolk will answer that is a man's duty to take care of the home but it is impossible with the current demands(bills) women have As for Margaret's case,men are very practical beings(I will not speak for women).What the husband wanted was a wife and mother to his chidren and she was not being that.Getting married to the househelp again is about being pragmatic. As men we can marry from any social class.Getting 'taken care of' is not part of the deal.We view people for what they are not what they have. ? ?

Regards. ? Judy Miriga Diaspora Spokesperson Executive Director Confederation Council Foundation for Africa Inc., USA http://socioeconomicforum50.blogspot.com ? It is a controversial, even taboo subject among some, but the fact is that a number of career women are losing their families and homes to their house helps. In their quest for a impressive academic credentials a successful career and enviable social network, they forget to nurture what is probably the most important part of their lives ? their families. The result is that they wake up several years later to find that they have lost their families. Their children have developed into secretive, broody and rebellious teenagers while their husbands, whom they long stopped giving serious thought to, have become emotionally withdrawn and carved out a new life for themselves. Women who have found themselves in such a position will probably relate to Margaret Mwangi. Two years ago, 41-year-old Margaret Mwangi (not her real name), a senior manager in one of the largest banks in the country, thought she had it all. Already a Masters degree holder, she was a year into studying for a PhD in financial management and had won several awards for her outstanding performance. She was earning good money and had extensive contacts. But as she rode the wave of her success, she forgot to channel the same effort and energy she directed at her career towards her husband of 14 years and three children. Margaret would be up by 4 a.m. to get ready for the day?s numerous strategic meetings and for mandatory 30-minute jog around her upmarket neighbourhood. She would leave the house at 6a.m., as her husband and children were waking up to prepare for the day. Thanks to Martha, the efficient and capable house-help she had had for eight years, Margaret knew that her family was in good hands. Martha would prepare a healthy breakfast, ensure that everyone?s clothes, including her husband?s, were ironed and laid out and that their shoes were polished. Given Margaret?s busy schedule, including her daily evening classes which ended at 8p.m., she usually got home at around 9 p.m., tired to the bone. By then, the children were in bed, having had supper and completed their homework with Martha?s help. In Margaret?s mind, she was a good mother and dedicated wife since she ensured that her family was well taken care of. But due to her constant absence from home, her once close and loving relationship with her husband faded, to be replaced by a cordial one, devoid of emotion and passion. Their conversations were perfunctory and usually, after asking about each other day, she would take a shower, have a quick meal then collapse in bed, exhausted, with things that needed to be done at work the next day going in her mind. She could not even recall the last time she and her husband had been intimate, but this did not really bother her. According to her, all marriages lost the initial fire they had after a couple of years. After all, hadn?t her friends confessed that they were going through a similar experiences? That?s why Margaret was shell-shocked when her 45-year-old husband announced that he was marrying another woman last year. But nothing could have prepared her for the bombshell that he dropped shortly thereafter ? the other woman was Martha! ? How could he do this to her after she had worked so hard so that they could all have a good life and a secure future? It is not like he or the children had been neglected ? they lived in a clean home, had healthy, wholesome food everyday and led organised lives, she argued, as she tried to come to terms with the shocking news. But when her husband pointed out that it was their live-in house help who did all these for the family, the argument instantly fizzled out. During the last five years of their marriage, Martha had practically usurped Margaret?s roles of wife and mother. She cooked for and served the man of the house, washed, ironed and laid out his clothes and dutifully cleaned and polished his shoes everyday. She even made the couple?s bed, as well washed and changed the linen because Margaret often left early in the morning and returned late at night. But more important, Martha had raised the couple?s three children almost single-handedly. When they were young, she would wake up in the middle of the night to lull them back to sleep or warm them a bottle of milk because their mother would be too exhausted to do it. And when they started going to school, she walked them to the bus stop, picked them up in the evening and helped them with their homework. ?How then can you claim that you are my wife and mother of my children if someone else has been doing what you should be doing?? her husband had retorted when she asked how he could embarrass her by having an affair with their house help right under her own roof. Not ready to live in the same house or share her husband with Martha, Margaret walked out of the marriage with the children. Although she can offer them the comfortable life they were used to, re-learning how to be a mother to her children is proving very difficult. The older two, a boy and a girl, are teenagers. Sulky, disobedient, and disrespectful, they are constantly getting into trouble at school. The other, now eight, is clingy, teary and has not stopped asking when they will move back home to ?daddy and auntie?. Margaret recently learnt that her former house help, a single mother of two, had given birth to a baby girl, who had been named after her husband?s mother. Margaret?s case clearly demonstrates the situation in which many women find themselves after entrusting their family?s welfare and the running of their households to their house- helps. This often unappreciated and underrated woman is the one who draws up the budget, does the shopping, decides what meals to prepare and sometimes even rushes the children to hospital when they fall sick. And it is she who helps them cope with the unsettling changes that take place during teenage. It is no wonder, then, that some mothers don?t even know when her daughters had their first period, and that would be shocked to learn that they have actually reached this milestone. The result is that such children grow up to be comfortable with their house-helps and prefer to go to them for advice rather than to their own mothers, since they have not formed a close bond with her. ? Under their noses It is these same house-helps who wait on their husbands, take their bath water to the bathroom, make their tea just the way they like it and have since discovered what makes them tick, what makes them happy and what sets them off. Yet wives are surprised when they discover that their husbands are having an affair with the house help right under their noses. One of the women Saturday magazine talked to, a lecturer and professional counsellor, confessed that two years ago, her marriage was almost broke up because of the amount of time she was spending at work. ?Between my clinic and lectures, I did not realise just how little time I spent at home because I was always rushing somewhere,? she recalls. It wasn?t until she overheard her house girl of two years asking her husband whether she should prepare for him ?the usual tangawizi and lemon? to treat his cold that the alarm bells went off. ?My husband had never asked me to make him anything for his cold and, worse still, I had not even noticed that he was unwell,? she says, adding that this is what jolted her to take action. The following week, she gave up three classes, which meant that she could get home early at least three evenings a week to prepare the evening meal and have some quality time with her husband. ?I don?t think there is any married woman who believes her husband can have an affair with the house help, or worse, leave her for one, but what we forget is that she, too, is a woman and that human beingsare naturally drawn to those who treat them well and show them that they matter,? she says. She says that since then, she has been doing more for her husband, including serving him food, preparing his meals once in a while and spending more time with him. ?Our relationship has improved, and although I am earning less than I used to, I am more relaxed and have more time for myself,? she observes. Which brings us to the question ? is it really possible for women to have the best of both worlds? Is it possible for women to have outstanding careers as well as happy and contented families? Kenyan women have been fighting for equality for quite some time now, and they are getting it. They are rising to positions once reserved for men and earning as much as, if not more, than them. But at what price? ? According to an article published in the The Mail of UK recently, women may have won the fight for equality, but ?It has left many of them imprisoned and exhausted?. This is according to Erin Pizzey, a British women?s rights activist and author. Pizzey adds that the idea of women happily combining career and a family has turned out to be a myth. In the article by Paul Revoir, she observes that women?s freedom of choice to have both has left them with less spare time than they had before, and as a result, lost something very important. ?Many women don?t have a choice now, they have to work, they have to work hard, and I just see an exhausted generation of women trying to do it all.? Pizzey?s views are supported by Helen Fielding, author of the popular Bridget Jones series of novels, who criticised women who aspire to ?have it all?. In an article published in a recent issue of The Daily Mail of the UK, Fielding is quoted as saying that many young women today struggle to have successful careers and families in an idealistic society that expects them to balance these roles perfectly, a battle that leaves them ?confused?. ?They feel they should be getting up at six in the morning and going to the gym, then doing a full day?s work, coming back late and feeding 12 people for dinner. It?s a modern disease,? she is quoted as saying. Explaining why it is not possible for women to have it all, she argues that there are only so many hours in a day and as a result, you either spend most of them at work, or at home raising children and making a home. ?

Message-ID: <533829.67413.qm@web30402.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Well, The truth is Ms. Miriga is deluded by her cloudy sense self of grandeur. This thing was phony from the get go and one had to be hallucinating to miss it. Kenyans are NOT president Obama?s constituents and we are not the only ones with a desire to meet and visit with the president. Further, there is such a thing as protocol which is normally handled by the Secret Service and many other government agencies for all matters relating to the president; so I don?t know or understand how Ms. Miriga would have by-passed all these procedures and be the White House ?spokesperson? on president Obama desire or willingness to have a private meeting with thousands of Kenyans invited through the internet!!! I mean does that make sense? Yawa! This is America and these folks are extremely procedural and not JUA KALI as we are accustomed to back in Kenya, oh NO! By the way, do you know what kind of political ire and backlash the president would be attracting if he set up a meeting with Kenyans as Ms Judy alludes to in the face of all that he has on his plate? He hasn?t set up such meetings with the Americans themselves, what would give any Kenyans in their right mind the idea that President Obama wants to have a private meeting with them at the White House at this time, for what? Seriously! Anyway, this is yet another clear testament of what I stated earlier, just look at the messenger. Some people have this strong urge to show their self worth and relevancy to prove a point or fulfill their narcissistic existence. This lady falls in this category in my opinion --- On Fri, 6/12/09, Judy Miriga wrote: From: Judy Miriga Subject: [YP_Ke] Re: White House Visitation: A Joke?

This is not anything new he should behave like he is hearing it for the first time.? The time span the leaders were accorded, is way overdue.....they are hanging on the bonus which again was expanded to August, to give them a flexible easy time.? ? Kalonzo need to beware that when the timing was instituted on the Agreement, all consequences, pros and cons?were considered, and the initial proposed time frame was six months.? The Kenyan legal fraternity and the Government kept dragging themselves yet majority poor Kenyans are soiled in extreme poverty such like?hunger, sickness, joblessness, insecurity without any housing. It is the opposite where Leaders live luxuriously with more than enough, enjoying tax free exorbitant salaries including bonuses.? It is not possible they understand the pain of poor people. ? All we know, they are portraying dont care attitude and headswell. ? These Leaders such?like Mutula Kilonzo need?some sort of?reality check........ ?

Message-ID: <7b1c74720906120952i3a20eb0pb7b31cf051c15b0d@mail.gmail.com> At least I know that ?mahari? comes from the Hebrew verb ?mahar? which means to purchase! Feminists may not be quite happy with this definition. Dowry, I am told is what the bride gives to the family of the groom. So if I was in some countries, I would be a source of joy to my family and (may be) a source of grief to the other family. And I would make sure that I get the ministers or the presidents daughter. What is the place of these things in today?s society? Personally I am not planning to purchase anyone. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

The Sh1.2M allocation per constituency for tree planting was hardly enough.

"Uncivilized Masters" or Civil Servants - "Top 50, Bottom 50": Forget politicians, it is true that technocrats run the government. Many at times, you will even find MP's waiting at the receptions chasing for favours. With your support, Neighbourhood Kenya's July/August edition will be listing the top 50 best performing and more importantly accessible civil servants. They could be Permanent Secretaries; CEO's of parastatals, government agencies or Local Authorities. As such, we want to give you chance to mention the civil servants you believe are most accessible by either face to face meetings; telephone or by letters. They respond quickly and leave you with a smile as a taxpayer. On the other hand, there are "Uncivilized Masters". They purport or act with impunity, arrogance and they are simply inaccessible. They leave you with a sense of wondering - do they actually deserve to run on your taxes? As always, you are assured of total confidentiality - including dropping in your suggestions anonymously.

Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:26:28 +0300 Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] Free Excel Tip 15.06.09 Message-ID: If you want to remove all the formatting from a cell, there are any number of techniques you can use. One way is to use the Format Painter. If there is an "unformatted" cell close to the one from which you want the formatting removed, just select the unformatted cell and click on the Format Painter tool. Then click on the cell you want to be unformatted, and that should do the trick. Another method is to select the cell or cells, display the Home tab of the ribbon, and click Clear in the Editing group. You'll then see a submenu from which you can select Clear Formats. You can also remove formatting by using the built-in styles in Excel. Select the cells and display the Home tab of the ribbon. In the Styles group click Normal. The formatting of the cell is returned to whatever is defined as "normal" for your worksheet. If you prefer to use a single tool to remove formatting, you can customize Excel by adding a special tool to the Quick Access toolbar. Follow these steps: 1. Click the Office button and then click Excel Options. Excel displays the Excel Options dialog box. 2. At the left side of the dialog box click Customize. 3. Use the Choose Commands From drop-down list to choose All Commands. 4. In the list of commands, choose Clear Formats. 5. Click the Add button. The command is copied to the right side of the screen. 6. Click OK. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Nyoing?o,the legislator who about three years ago, his constituency had scored the highest marks of properly managing the CDF and other devolving funds from the government this time around, however, he ?was found flat footed. A team of auditors from an organization calling itself, the National Taxpayers Association {NTA} which carried forensic auditing of all government founded projects in the constituency had discovered losses of the devolved fund running into millions, The NTA is a national ,independent ,non-partisan organization focused on improving the delivery of services and the management of devolved funds for the benefit of Kenyans. NTA states in a brief statement contained its brochure that it is committed to working with the government of Kenya to improve services delivery at the district level and the management the management of devolved funds .It assessed all CDF/LATF projects in the financial years 2006-2007 in 23 constituencies and eight municipalities in eight districts countrywide.. Its latest report released in KJisumu last week says, Prof Nyong?o?s ?Constituency had budgeted and received Kshs 64,673,883.00 during the years under review and spent Kshs 56,749,206.00 on 61development ?projects scattered all over the constituency.

Prof.Nyong?o is the Minister for Health Services in the grand coalition government of PNU and ODM parties. He is also credited by the auditing team for having no ghost, missing or abandoned projects in his constituency, which he team had discovered in two other constituencies, namely Kisumu Town East and Kisumu Town West as well as Kisumu Municipality. Prof. Nyong?o is also the ODM?S Secretary General and the auditing team had discovered good workmanship and finishing in most of projects in Kisuymuy Rural, which means the area had enjoyed good patronage of the devolved funds and proper supervision of most of the CDF projects. Even those still under construction shows that proper materials had been put into use on the projects..;. In the whole of the constituency, the auditing team recorded only seven projects which were? either unfinished or badly constructed. The rest with more than 75 ,marks and above fall under Class[A} and those with 50 per cent and above marks were classified in class{B} projects.

I guess she thinks that he is slow... and for a good reason. No self respecting lady wishes to end up as the tolerated auntie or spinster and this makes the celibacy resolve impossible but some people still hack it. Most men find it impossible to deny themselves the joyous indulgence of natural God given appetites. Even this weatherment makes talk about celibacy taboo. But still some men hack it. Yes in this country no one is considered serious when not married, doesnt matter how sober they are. Which makes it difficult to nurse political ambitions. But still some men hack it- even absolute celibacy. Oh what marvelous gift to covet. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Is there something wrong with our youth or it only the youth from this part of the country? On and off we see people from Kisumu and Nairobi engage in such barbaric acts to an extend that they have become an order of the day. Could it be that the Kenyan youth don't know the value of property or they are devoid of the ownership of property gene? I think something needs to be done because from the railway incident, to the burning of the police truck while enaging police in running battles, the council property destruction and the the Mungiki issue, one wonders what really could be the problem. can someone explain!

Did they have the vision for Africa and for the African Child? >From Moluor Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana, to Namzdi Azikiwe and Chief Obafemi Awolowo in Nigeria, Siaka Stevens in Sierra Leone, Leopold Sedar Senghor in Senegal, Patrice Lumumba and Moishe Kasavumbu in Congo Kinshasa, Edwardo Dos Santos in Angola, Kenneth Kaunda in Zambia, Hastings Kamuzu Banda in Malawi, Julius Nyerere in Tanzania, Milton Obote in Uganda, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in Kenya, and the many independent heroes in Africa, one thing stands out; their visionless approach to leadership in Africa. Our Independence heroes fought for freedom, not for Africans, but for themselves. They fought for freedom to liberate themselves from the pangs of poverty, illiteracy, disease and want. They fought for control of contracts and tenders. They fought to compete in ruining the economies of African states. At independence, we used to have plenty of food. Many household used to have 3 square meals per day. There was uji in the evening as you watched your cattle come back home. Githeri or Nyoyo, was never counted as food. One would proudly say that we have not eaten; we have just taken some nyoyo. But that was then. It lasted almost 10 years into independence when Africa started reeling from the mismanagement by our independence heroes. Ten years into Independence, service delivery was being slowly but surely being replaced by personal delivery. The African Independence hero was delivering surely to his family and cronies. They had learnt that accounts could be opened far from motherland Africa. In these accounts, loans negotiated for Africa would find a resting place. In these accounts, Grants meant for Africa would be diverted. And in these accounts, money stolen out rightly from the Central Banks in Africa would be sent. That was the African independence hero. Instead of working for the future of Africa and her children, he worked for the future of his Child and family. Not the future of his country. The common vision shared by these Independence heroes was thievery. They stole from Africa with complete abandon. They brooked no opposition and they killed all those bright minds that could offer alternative leadership. They had no economic vision that would take Africa to the next level, but they had all the economic vision that would make them and their families? multi-billionaires. They had no vision for the education of the African Child, but they had that vision of taking all their children to the Western Capitals for further education. It did not matter what further education meant. The child of the African leader had to be taken to some Ivy League school; just for prestige, not academic excellence. They took themselves and their families to the best medical facilities in the Western Capitals as Africa suffered the worst cases of medical neglect. They saw no sense in improving or building medical facilities for us here in Africa. It is sad that some even had their water imported from France! They had their clothes ironed in Paris and all their laundry was done away from Africa. The Independence hero was a hero unto darkness. They inherited a rich continent and immediately started a massive rape campaign. They competed in amassing wealth at the expense of service delivery. Sadly, those who inherited their thrones became weaned on this line of visionless leadership. The current crops of leaders consider themselves as demi-gods, not servant leaders. In cases where some talk of servant leadership, it is clearly not evident. They are inaccessible and they operate from the ozone layer- where they have all answers to our problems in Africa. Yet, 46 years into Independence, this knowledge can now be questioned. Did they know the right things for Africa? Did they have a clear path for leadership? Did they have a vision even on how these issues could be solved. As we celebrate this International Day of the African Child, we must have hope. Hope not in the current leadership for they have failed the African Child so miserably. We must have hope at the resilience of the African Child. With no services at his service, he is left to the Donor Community and people who feel sufficiently philanthropic. In cases where the government proffers service to the child, it is in most cases stolen; stolen by the same service providers! Or, it is given to the child who is less deserving. In Kenya, we have started to see some vision coming into shape. Under pressure, the Government has realized the wasted years and has come up with programmes that tend to be Child friendly. By creating a Ministry dealing with issues of the Children, we must have hope that 46 years into Independence, the wheels have started to move at long last. We must hence put the past behind us and think anew. We must start focusing on the African Child by giving him equitable access to education, educational facilities, and medication. We must feed the African Child less politics. We cannot be a country on campaign throughout the year. We must have a clear cut path; a time to campaign and a time to work. The African Child will grow knowing that campaigns are a daily issue. The African leader must give the African Child the kind of leadership that gives hope; hope for a secure future where poverty is addressed; where quality education is given the best shot; where medication is accessible and affordable. In Kenya, the Government must look at the school curriculum and tell us which the education guides in schools are. We have a situation where teachers change the educational texts every year to an extent where if you have 3 children in school, they will be instructed on different books in the same class in the 3 year period. The Government must have standards; they must maintain the textbooks for instruction just like we used to have Safari Books and Primary Mathematics series in the ?70s. We now have all manner of instruction manuals in the school, most of which are not based on academic excellence. We must put pressure on our current leaders to have a clear vision for the African Child and Africa. This must not include stealing the resources of Africa and stashing it in the Western World.

With reference to the meeting held between us on the 17th of August 2001 at 1500 hours, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our love affair would be on probation for a period of no less than three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent. Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous relationship training and relationship appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse. The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses.

It merely reflects the view that Africans were lazy. It should not reflect on what they think right now (though we all know what it is). It shouldn't be banned, but should be prserved as a historical document. Same way Nazi era papers are kept in archives, and I think last year there is a newspaper that ran old copies for a while. It generated controversy but also helped people discuss the issues involved. The only problem is, Africans are not very good in analyzing much. We think wazungu ni mungu, we are devils, and that we should all try to be like jungus. You might as well be beating a drum no one can hear.

At least one charred body of a man is still shouldering in smoke at the site uncollected. It could not be established? immediately as tom how many people have died. The District Commissioner for Kericho Mr.Njora and the Officer Commanding the Police Division {?OCPD] were among the first people to arrive at the venue of the accident. Those who were rushed to Hospitals by good Samaritan had severe burnt, This particular accident come only two days after the police were forced to use fierce dogs to disperse hundreds of ?rowdy people who were siphoning fuel from another tanker which overturned at Chula=Yimboi about 18 kilometers out of Kisumu City. The tanker was heading for Busia border post and eventually to Rwanda when it overturned. It took policemen two hours to clear the site of the villagers who defiantly refused to disperse.

A Kisumu lawyer Mr David Otieno who stood for a Nairobi lawyer Ambrose Rachier of Rachier and Amolo Advocates Company represented the accused. Details of the charge stated that on diverse dates between February 2004 and July 2004 at Sare-Awendo in Migori district [now Rongo district} within Nyanza Province in the Republic of Kenya,Mr Otieno being a person whose functions concerned the management of public revenue to wit the Managing Director of South Nyanza Sugar Company {SONY},he willfully failed to comply with applicable procedures and guidelines? relating by failing to disclose to SONY sugar tender Committee,the guidelines governing public procurement as issued by the Acting Director ontained his letter of February 227th,2004. This was in effect that he Mr.Otieno should have proceeded with procurement? or purchase of a second hand or reconditioned road grader from a South African based company called Associated Equipment Company [PTY} ltd, on condition that only .if this company was the only source of supply of second hand reconditioned?

August 28, 2007 Kenyans voted ugliest in?Africa Posted by maik under Life [17] Comments? http://kenyanexpressions.wordpress.com/2007/08/28/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 women and Luo men pose 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 5?2??5?4? 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?ll 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, ?there?s too much mother tongue interference, common in Merus, Kisiis, and Kikuyus?. While Luos were pointed out to be suffering from chronic ?braggartitis?. ?

Message-ID: <27016.31259.qm@web34303.mail.mud.yahoo.com> ? REGIONAL MPS CALLS ONKENYANAND UGANDAN LEADERS TO EASE TENSION IN EASTERN AFRICAN REGION. Writes Leo Odera Omolo Regional members of Parliament in Eastern African region have called upon Kenyan and Ugandan leaders to stop stoking public emotions over the disputed Migingo Island.. Meting in the Kenyan capital under the auspices of the Great Lakes Parliamentary Forum, the MPs who came from Kenya, Tanzania,Uganda,Zambia Rwanda,Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo {DRC And the East African Legislative Assembly said the issue of the disputed Migingo Island in Lake Victoria has become a potential danger and a threat to the regional peace and integration. ?While Kenya?s Parliament has been outspoken on the Migingo issue, even passing a motion calling on the government to deploy its security forces to ?repossess the disputed island from Ugandan both President Kibaki and the Prime Minister Raila Odinga have opted for dialogue, ?they said. ?Mr. Odinga has, however, repeatedly that the island was in Kenya and therefore part and parcel of the Republic of Kenya. Earlier on the MPs and their EALA counterparts? made a courtesy call on President Kibaki at the? State House and ?hand commended the Kenyan head of state for his sober approach to the Migingo island dispute. The legislators led by the Speaker of the East African Legislative Assembly Mr Abdirabin Abdi said the President of Kenyan had displayed statesmanship by musing diplomacy and dialogue. {Ugandan leader Yoweri Museveni at one point had caused the storm when he said the Kenyan island belonged to his country. But he later immediately retracted the statement attributed to him, saying it had been taken out of context. At yesterday?s? meeting call by regional MPs was triggered? by an Assistant Minister in the Kenya?s Ministry of Defense Major Gen [rtd} Joseph Naissery?s criticism of regional MPs affiliated to the parliamentary group, also known as ?Amani Group?for failing to speak out on the controversy.. Gen Naissery? also accused the civic society for turning a blind eye to the Migingo issue. ?Why have we as the Amani Forum failed to say Migingo is a non-issue as far as the region is concerned? he asked. Gen Naissery?s sentiments were echoed by the Forum?s Secretary General? Pro9f Juliana Katengwa of Rwanda who called on regional leader not to dwell on the Migingo Controversy because if unnecessary tension is to be avoided., adding that ?We? must downplay this Migingo issue to ease tension in the region for ?rising number of refugees or people displaced from their own countries.

Besides, Kenya Revenue Authority(KRA) too had reached a point where it could not collect any more taxes it has reached what I may say point of saturation on tax collections The few rich who were being taxed could not give much enough money to sustain the large populace and our economy. If you did ask any person at local level, he/she will authoritatively tell you" Money is locked at State House, Hakuna pesa huku Village better days za Former President Moi a few coins will drop and jingle up to grassroots" This naked reality might been guided wisdom that made ODM under Hon Raila realize that devolving economy will take resources to grassroots and this will help bridge the gap between the poor and rich and the economy will again pick up and KRA will be able to collect more taxes to fund projects and pay workers and factories will be able sell their goods and services ,consumer purchasing power will increase too We are unlike as a country because we do not have a social contract policy that can support the extremely poor and jobless but as time goes by Hon Ababus,Hon Kutuny will enact such a law in parliament Back to my point Debt Market Management Strategy It has dawn to all come July 2009 Hon Uhuru will be seducing both our domestic and foreign markets to borrow Ksh 109 Billions Even though a few Private firms has started to complain that this will be locking them out or crowding them from debt mark yes they are correct to air their views but is better they look at bigger picture a broadbased economic management will increase consumer power ability unlike concentrating resources in a few hands A proper well defined system of borrowing money will help to gradual increase interest unlike erractic way that will spiral interest rate . If the government tie amount that it plans to borrow to the budget item am sure everyone will be happy. If the governments prudently borrows let me say Ksh 20 Billion to use for building new power utilities this will go a long way to generate more revenue to both the people who will supply labour,materials expertise and indirect taxes like when these workers will be buying food water etc. However if the government opt to borrow greedily then we shall plunge into more crisis that we may be unable to get out The onus is upon Hon Uhuru and the grand coalition to properly manage and supervise the uptake of the borrowed funds and the economy will bounce back. Otherwise if they fail to seal loopholes the borrowed money will add more trouble to common Mwananchi Am still laughing at why Hon Uhuru could ride in a Passat VW to read the budget while being escorted by large fleet full of Merc Benz He really rocked me Further I hope our Mps will not be engrossed on thinking about large monies at their disposal but they need to critical analysis the Hon Uhuru budget to seal any loophole that will allow misuse of funds or channeling funds to non itemized projects Bye Gibson Amenya www.kenyayounggreens.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

As a member of KEA, I have the right to recieve communication just like everybody. Infact Maburi should have consulted with other officials before determining the date for the General meeting. I do not wish to keep redirecting the chair of what he needs to do but professionalism? should guide him. I have just heard from people that he has called for the meeting but he intentionally did not send the email to me. I think all members should be treated equally regardless of who they are. If one starts acting selectively and show the character of impunity he has to be adviced that KEA is for all Kenyan members and nobody has the mandate to run it as a personal company. This is disgusting and I am yet to get the invitation to the meeting when other people have recieved the message. This is total ridicule. How many more members has this guy left out? I know he will blame the computer but I just wanted to let everybody know that some people have not been invited to the meeting on July .5, 2009. Which I feel is too far and yet too close.

Please refrain from blaming all African leaders. You must remember that days following independence of several African countries were extremely difficult. The leaders risked their lives, some gave their own lives in the struggle. People like President Julius Nyerere were instrumental in liberating some Countries in the south of Africa. When Iddi Amin was killing innocent people in Uganda, it is Nyerere who sent Tanzanian soldiers to redeem a fellow African country and neighbour. Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya stood against Amin. There is a time when Kenyan industrial and commercial products supplied the needs of East and central African countries. Nairobi was like New York or London of East Africa. Makerere University was like a peak of Higher education. I grew up with the vision of Studying "until Makerere." The glory of Nairobi University and University of Dar-es-Salaam, those days of East African Community, etc.We cannot erase the good done by our former leaders because of the mistakes they did, or, because some of them implemented disastrous policies. I had the privilege of meeting the former Zambian President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda after a speech he gave at Boston University in USA few years ago, Kaunda gave a passioned speech after which he sung an emotional song with tears coming down his eyes to raise awareness and fundraising for HIV/AIDS victims in Zambia. I talked with him briefly with some Kiswahili in it. (he knows a little Swahili).One cannot help but admire Dr. Kaunda for his continued sacrifice and work in behalf of his Country and Africa in general. Patrice Rumumba's life was cut shot by foreign agents. Kwame Nkrumah had a vision of the United States of Africa, though he did not live long enough to realize it. The list can go on...... As a Pan-Africanist and a Historian, I can testify that many of the Post-Independence African leaders did the best with what they had and agaisnt all odds domestic and foreign.. I acknowledge that there were some bad and even evil leaders. But, I beg you and all the readers in the forum, to feel proud of our African History and heritage. We should not ignore or forget the good contribution of our Post-Independence leaders, simply because some of them did us some wrong. The people we can put pressure on are the current leaders who need to learn from their respective countries' presidential histories, and try not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Tough times call for tough measures! Emmily ?IMPORTANT REMINDER TO ALL PARENTS! ??? Even if you do not have little kids* pass this one on to everyone you can think of. You never know whom you might save by sending this? e-mail!? Please* take the time and forward this to any friend who has?? children & grandchildren! Thanks! ???? I Wanted to share something that happened today while I was shopping at Carrefour(Nakumat). ???? A mother was leaning over looking at meat when she turned around to find? her 4 yr old daughter was missing.? I? was standing there right? beside her while she called her daughter with no luck. ???? I asked a man who worked at Carrefour(Nakumat) to announce it over the loudspeaker which he did. He immediately went to a phone and made an announcement - a code something -for all the doors and gates to be?? locked. The doors were all locked at once.? All this? took about 3 minutes.??? Five minutes later, the little girl was? found in a bathroom still drugged. Her head was half shaved* and she was only dressed in her underwear.? Beside her on the floor was a bag of clothes, a razor, and a? wig.? All these were meant to alter her appearance and make her? look different. Whoever? this person was took the little girl brought her into the bathroom? shaved half her head and undressed her in a matter of less than 10? minutes.? Another 5 minutes and she would have been out the door. ??? I am still in shock that some sick person could do? this* let alone in a matter of minutes. The days are over when our little ones could run all over the place in public places.??? This makes me shake to no end. Please keep a close eye on your children? when in big places like malls or shopping centres where it's easy for you? to get separated from your children.? It only took a few minutes to do all of that. ???? The little girl is fine.? Thank God for the quick action of the staff. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

Infact myself am looking forward to watch World Cup in comfort of my bedroom Hoping that we shall have actualized live streaming of events by DSTV and other Media Houses KBC,Citizen,KTN ,NTV,KTN However unless we move with speed this TEAMS thing will turn out to be a mega rip-off or a white elephant project more bigger than Turkwel Project that sunk billions of tax payers money without any benefit including the mastermind behind this scam holding very senior position in previous and current office I will not dispute that immense potential lies with coming of fibre optic but my worry is Are we really prepared to utilize it.? I will opined that we were caught napping if not dosing just like our leaders during those great parliamentary sessions. Fibre Optic will still need mode of transport like ordinary telephone lines like one of oold Telkom Kenya this will enable you as individual to get connect to the superhighway internet link I know many of us discarded those telephone from Kenya Post and Telecommunication Corporation(KP&TC) that used to reach your house and you ended up paying ghost bills at end of the month Those telephones lines may become crucial or will play a good role to ensure penetration of fibre optic in most rural areas of Kenya And what about Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC )using its vast network of power lines if well utilized can enable provision of cheap internet to your house and within rural sector It is a known fact that Fibre optic, individual affordability is near to impossible unless you are willing to spend over Ksh 100,000 per month for a bandwidth you will only use a fraction and rest remain untapped because of the cost unless you want to establish an e-commerce that will make economic sense but if you want to use for small and general work like facebooking,chatting, reading emails, sending our emails then fibre optic will be a bad investment for you. I believe that the onus remains with the government and all stake holders to sit down and discuss on how this will be achieved before TEAMs fibre optic turns into another white elephant. Otherwise we must applaud our government for playing a leading role to ensure we are connected to superhighway for those who will afford the cost of installing in their homes and business areas. I hope the West will not use Fibre Optic to snoop/espionage at us because whose is linking Kenya to rest of the World is their companies and we do not know what they have put into those Fibre Optic Thanks Gibson Amenya -- To advertise visit www.kamongoclassifieds.com Talk to me Gibson.Amenya at kamongoclassifieds.com More details 254722-82541 or 020-2454278 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

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 women and Luo men pose 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 5?2??5?4? 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?ll 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, ?there?s too much mother tongue interference, common in Merus, Kisiis, and Kikuyus?. While Luos were pointed out to be suffering from chronic ?braggartitis?. ?

Writes Leon Odera ?Omolo In Kericho Town. TROUBLE is brewing up with the tea industries based in the South Rift following a recent threats issued by local politicians who vowed to mobilize their followers to invade the tea estates and burnt down ?the recently introduced tea picking machines. The politician have allayed the fears that the gradual introduction of the green tea picking machines would eventually render their people jobless once the program is fully implemented The tea industry is, arguably still the largest employer in the region, engaging more than 20 thousands workers in Kericho, Bomet, Bureti and Sotiuk districts alone.. A number of the multinational tea companies operating in Kericho, Bureti,Bomet and Sotik have already put in use the mechanized tea plucking system, which the politicians argues, would render their people jobless. But the number of machines in use are negligible, and in most estates, the green leaves is still being picked manually. It is also imperative to remember that when Francis Atwoli strongly opposed the introduction of mechanized tea picking by the industry player, it was this same politicians who vehemently opposed his move and sided with the companies. Sources in the industry says, it is only at Sotik Highland Tea Company based in Sotik district where the introduction of mechanized tea plucking system is almost attained 50 per cent. But other firms such as Unilever and Finlay?s tea company still relied on manual tea picking. the introduction of mechanized tea picking system is almost 50per cent. But in Kericho and Bureti where the bulk of major estates are allocated, mechanized green leaves tea picking is only in ?small ?scale. The rest of the green leaves ?picking work is done manually The resolution to invade the tea estates by demonstrators and forcefully dismantle and destroy the tea plucking machines was passed at a public rally attended by hundreds of workers at Kabororet ?Stadium, Which is ?owned by James Finlay?s Tea Company, one of the largest tea manufacturing multinational company. The firm is also involved in the large scale production of flowers in the region. The Harambee meeting was attended by the Belgut MP Charles Keter, who is also an Assistant Minister for Energy in the coalition government. He was accompanied by 16 civic leaders from both Kericho Municipality and the County Council of Kipsigis. It emerged that? the management of James Finlays Tea Company Ltd in whose workers had called the harambee meeting for their own welfare did not send a senior manager, but had posted its donation of Kshs 10,000, which was conveyed at the meeting by one of its junior managing staff. This provoked angers of the local leaders who vowed to teach the company a lesson. The invasion of the estates by local people was slated for last Tuesday June 16. But it was later postponed indefinitely after the reported intervention by the Minister for Roads Franklin Bett who asked the politicians and the management of the company to hold a joint meeting for the purpose of dialogue..The meeting took place on Thursday? 18,2009, but its deliberations have yet to be disclosed.. The Union of Kenya Plantations and Agriculture Workers Kericho branch supported the action, but the branch secretary Joshua Owuor Otieno said he did not approve the use of force and destruction of the tea picking machines. He said, however, that the Union did not approve the use of force in resolving what is the real sense, could be termed the issue ?as an industrial dispute, and which could only be resolved through the laid down industrial regulations as opposed to the use of violence The Union?s Secretary General Francis Atwoli could not be reached for his immediate comment. Interviewed local leaders, however, described the politicians action as unacceptable and amounted to intimidating the industry operators. One of those who spoke to this writer advised the politicians to leave the industrial issues to the unionist. Lt. Gen {rtd} John Koech, the national chairman of the United Democratic Movement{UDM}, which is the second party after the ODM with sizeable following among members of the Kipsigis community told those advocating the use of violence to desist as such actions could be counter-productive, and to find the way of living in harmony with the multinational tea companies, which he said were playing vital role in the country?s economy. .A survey carried out by this writer indicated that the workers in the tea companies did not approve the use of violence in resolving any industrial dispute, and felt that the dismantling of the tea picking machines by means of force could jeopardize their chances and perhaps cause them their jobs. The workers wanted the politician to steer clear of the tea industry and to leave the matter or whatever dispute to be tackled by their Union and not outsiders or a gang of organized youths hired like mercenaries to invade the tea estates and cause mayhem. He relations between one of the major tea companies, James Finlays, which is the largest tea processing companies has not been so cordial in recent months following allegations that some of the company senior managers were colluding with politicians for the purpose of harassing its management. It is also being alleged that some of the issues involved the disagreement could be traced to tribalism and clannish. Some of the company senior manager, who could not secure quick promotion to the top have allegedly resorted to feeding politicians with pack of lies about the operations of the company. Other, have become jealousy to any non-Kipsigis promoted to the top and have resorted to peddling of distorted information given to politicians for their own selfish interests and survival. Other sources are pointing an accusing finger to some of the retired former senior managers of the company, who are said to be still interested in controlling the company?s day to day management activities from outside, and are allegedly working with their cronies. .still in the service of the company..This is one of the reasons why the locals politicians have been advised to go slow on contentious issues, which are the sole responsibility of ?the union, and not the politicians have been accused of hypocrisy. IT HAS ALSO EMERGED THAT Hon Keter has been involved in private business of transportation with the Finlay?s Tea Company for a long time, and that the company has contributed immensely towards certain development projects in Belgut such as schools, water supplies and schools and many other of important projects, which are useful for socio-economic of the local people.. Introduction of clannish and tribalism in the services of the tea companies is described by level minded members of the Kipsigis elite as dangerous and unacceptable. They want the company to be set free to hire qualified personnel of their own choices. If the trend of pressurizing these companies to hire only relatives and friends of certain people irrespective of their qualifications and ability to do the job, then these firms headed for dooms,? commented one civic leader in Kericho..

And hopes the neighbors would have put it out by the time he gets back so he can claim credit?what a croak! I mean Kenya ?s main problems are man-made and the PM is the principle architect; are you now telling us that globe trotting by the PM will suddenly fix an economy on a downward spiral; from a healthy 7% prior to the 2007 elections to a measly 1.7% projection this year? How? The rest of the world is not as ignorant of the going-ons in Kenya and her rotten government; all the good will and confidence toward Kenya that existed in the 1st Kibaki term has steadily been eroded by the childish partisan fights championed by ODM and the PM, it is a fact. This imitation government just can?t get its act together because it has a bad mix of characters running it and there is nothing the PM can do short of disengaging from the coalition that will fix much. He and his party?s inclusion in government since last year are the main variable in the mix that has resulted in negative economic growth, lost lives through ?mass action?, continued erosion of nationhood, just to mention a few: Kibaki has simply fallen short by not being truly in control of the situation as president, his title and responsibility as president didn?t simply change just because of a two page document addition to the constitution creating the Grand Coalition government. The document was just an addendum, not a replacement or a substitute to the constitution itself; so there you have it. They have ALL failed! ? It is an oxymoron and untenable to label the PM a peace maker when he is clearly on the record a) Calling for ?Mass Action? b) Justifying murders in Rift Valley and elsewhere in the country c) Calling for criminal murder suspects to be released claiming they have done nothing wrong ?and that their actions were spontaneous and chasing after their stolen cows (as if that makes it OK to burn? children alive in churches) d) Actively seeking to avoid the prosecution of the Rutos of the world who master minded the deaths of innocent Kenyans in Kenya or at the Hague ?e) appointing murderous criminals to key positions in government as in Agriculture and starving Kenyans along the way, I mean where do we stop? The country is now clearly reaping the rewards of these actions, helloo! Is that what we wanted in government? .I think some of us are extremely na?ve and gullible and easily fall prey to the age old political manipulations perfected by these fellows and to the extent we don?t rise up and challenge our own from within, we as a nation are doomed! We must be honest with our ourselves and hold those who purport to lead us accountable, brushing important stuff a side or sweeping ills under the rug out of fear sure ain?t no way to fix Kenya; this country is sick and our so called leaders are the cancer that need to be removed. --- On Thu, 6/11/09, GALTON AMISSI wrote: From: GALTON AMISSI Subject: [YP_Ke] Re: Now Hon Raila Odinga has turned to be a global Tourist who will listen to our problems To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, June 11, 2009, 8:25 AM ?

For security reasons i will not mention what the fiers says and where it comes from, save that it is so "gisty". And that i have observed that this is the latest trend in "churchiology". No doubt, I and many others will flock to this church to hear what God is saying through his valuable instrument, we are wont to believe, the man man of Gah. Indeed when I attend this happening church, I am sure to be received by such fly/beautiful ushers as to not only to inspire praise and appreciation, but to marvel at the kind considerations of the God the source of such beauty. I think its allowed to ?appreciate? Gods creation more so at church-much as there is a thin line between appreciating and ogling I hear. Either way, I will be ministered to. I also take it as a matter of principle that a church that removes such beautiful fliers must have some deadly music team. Such a place must be where the band is ?the band? and knows what jazz/afro fusion/neo soul is. Here songs must be adapted to suit the ?current? generation, what is also called contextualization. In this way, I will be entertained with good music And not to belabor the point, a church that removes beautiful fliers I am sure must have the great orator that is the ?man of Gah? or even woman of God. I say great orator because in my books, an orator is he that is able to speak with the appearance of wisdom. I will be a passive tongue in the audience listening to old philosophical principles couched in biblical terms. In this way , I will be greatly entertained. I know I my attention will be directed to the churchs website or blog of some sort. Such is a place where it is difficult to write the truth because you know it. Some religious leader in our nation has rightly observed that the church is God?s business. - Which implies that yours truly is a consumer or customer or something in those lines?

Most of these people who rush to the scenes to look are greedy people who do not want to work hard. They like to reap where they did not so. See what tragedy they have caused, their greed made them get burnt and our taxes are now going into their medication instead of going into other development oriented projects. ? What the government should do is to charge all the oil tanker victims once they recover for looting and for wasting public resources into their treatment.

This kind of thuggery amongst people of Kenya cannot be allowed to continue to happen.? It is destroying the National Fabric of Peace amongst Kenyans.? We all know that it is an open book, President Kibaki and foes with the cartels will not leave any evidence left behind come August.? Private elimination squad, which is their known style used to eliminate those?of opposing views, and meant to silent people from talking, must have been set to eliminate people and any other person heard speaking against the Government or is heard calling for Hague. ? Action must be taken by the International Community along with Foreign Governments as well as USA to save Kenya. ? To save Kenyans from more planned orchestrated deaths, Kofi must deliver the envelop to Hague.? All signs by the Coalition Government does not show committment to Reform Agenda No. 4.? The Reform Accord implementation will come after people have been silenced and humbled to their knees.? People must not be killed like Chickens on the streets.? Such killings are a big loss to immediate members of the family and their lives are shattered from such sudden parting of their loved ones. ? The Coalition Government have run out of matterials to be able to lead the country respectfully honorable living and with focus. These type of killings is what is driving the country into Civil War. ? This must stop with immediate effect. ? ? ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIwi4MNtewQ Saitoti and Mungiki, the Intelligence fail Kenya ?

Describing the state of Kenyan justice system as ?terrible?, Prof Alston said: ?Investigation, prosecution and judicial processes are slow and corrupt.? The report calls for the resignation of Mr Wako and the sacking of Police Commissioner Hussein Ali and all current judges. It concludes that comprehensive police reforms should be instituted since Kenya?s is a dysfunctional criminal justice system that has pushed police to kill suspected criminals, rather than arrest them. ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1y7Zt25rc0 ? We won?t return report on scam, UK assures Kenya By?NATION ReporterPosted?Thursday, June 18?2009?at?22:30 The Kenya Government has temporarily stopped a key report on the Anglo Leasing scandal from being handed over to organisations that were out to destroy it. Britain?s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) last Thursday wrote to government lawyers assuring them that the evidence in the report, vital in the multi-billion-shilling case, would not be returned to private organisations and individuals in the UK. The organisations had gone to court seeking to repossess the evidence they passed on to the SFO on the scam and the case was scheduled for hearing on Friday. In a letter dated June 11 to Kenya?s attorney, SFO director Richard Alderman also stated that they would not destroy the documents without the consent of the government. ?Your client can be assured that until this issue has been resolved, either through agreement between us or as a result of a court decision, the SFO will not take steps to return the documents. Your client can also be assured that the SFO will not destroy any documentation,? he said. ?If I consider that the documentation needs to be returned to the claimants, then I shall give your client time to issue proceedings against the SFO.? The news is victory for the government, which has been fighting to rescue the documents from being handed over to the claimants. If the private organisations and individuals had succeeded, it could have dealt the government a big blow in the fight to unravel the Anglo Leasing scandal. ? Anglo Leasing Mr Alderman was responding to a petition by Kenya?s lawyers - Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP - not to hand over the documents. The SFO report is said to contain fresh clues on the major players in the scandal, providing their real identities and the dummy offshore companies they used to receive payments. However, British laws require that the report be handed over to the government when there is an ongoing investigation. On Thursday, Justice and Constitutional Affairs minister Mutula Kilonzo and Attorney-General Amos Wako expressed delight at the development and promised to work out ways of ensuring that the injunction stayed. ? Cholera Outbreak Things are extremely bad in the country including senior Government Officers now acting as propagandist, such like Cabinet Ministers,?who would give?public report?to the media, denying there is an outbreak of Cholera. ?

Kenyatta University lecturer Peter Francis Kenya, was on Wednesday night shot dead by gangsters. Photo/PETERSON GITHAIGA ? By?DOMINIC WABALA Posted?Thursday, June 18?2009?at?22:30 A lecturer was on Wednesday night shot dead by gangsters who trailed his car to Kamuthi area in Nairobi's Kahawa West estate. Mr Peter Francis Kenya, 60, a lecturer at Kenyatta University?s School of Environmental Studies, was attacked by three suspected gangsters at 11pm. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Guru Nanak Hospital where he had been rushed by a good Samaritan. The bullet went through the car door and hit the lecturer in his right arm, breaking his upper arm bone and piercing his torso just below the chest. Going to town Mr Kenya contested the Mbita parliamentary seat but lost. He is reported to have left the Kenyatta University campus at about 10pm and told his friends that he was going to town. The gangsters trailed the lecturer to an apartment and stopped their car a distance away before one of them walked to his Mitsubishi Pajero car and ordered him to open the doors. The lecturer instead rolled up his windows and started hooting, prompting the men, who were armed with an AK47 rifle, to shoot him before walking back to their car. The gang confronted and robbed a couple who were entering their compound and bundled into their car which they are said to have used to escape. A guard said one of the gangsters armed with the rifle accosted the lecturer and shot him while his accomplices guarded the couple. The guard, Mr Melau ole Kelami, said he had been ordered to lie down. ?One of the gangsters walked to the victim?s car and ordered him to open the door, but the man just sat in the car and started hooting. The gangster?s accomplices who had each one foot in their car told him to shoot the lecturer. I heard a bang before he ran back to their car and drove off,? the guard narrated. A short distance away, the gangsters threw out one of their victims before speeding off. A neighbour, Mr Peter Kairu, rushed to the scene and drove the victim to Guru Nanak Hospital here he was pronounced dead on arrival. ?I was in my house when I heard a gunshot and climbed up the roof to see what was happening. I heard screams and rushed out,? Mr Kairu said. He found the lecturer slumped in the driver?s seat with a mob milling around the vehicle. He tried to administer first aid in vain and decided to drive Mr Kenya to a nearby hospital. Mr Ndung?u said there was no doctor at the Zimmerman clinic where he took the lecturer, prompting him to drive to Guru Nanak Hospital. Kasarani police boss Jasper Ombati said detectives were investigating the murder. The lecturer?s death was reported to Pangani Police Station and the officers allowed the family to take the body to Thika Road Funeral Home which is affiliated to Kenyatta University. Mr Kenya leaves behind three wives and several children. His eldest wife and two children live abroad. Pregnant daughter In another incident, a 52-year-old woman and her pregnant daughter, 20, were on Wednesday night executed by a wanted criminal in the Grogon B area of Nairobi's Korogocho slums. Police found the bodies after residents reported hearing gunshots in the slums around 10pm. The suspect is reported to have knocked on Clemencia Nadera?s house pretending to be a police officer, opened fire and walked away without stealing anything. It is said that the gunman, who is being sought by police over another murder, suspected that the woman and her daughter had informed police about his activities. Mr Ombati said detectives suspect that the gunman and the woman knew each other and appealed to residents to assist police arrest the man. Detectives combed the slum until around 5am looking for the suspect. Meanwhile, the police boss expressed concern about the increase in cases of abduction and extortion in the city. He said that although police were doing their best to arrest the kidnappers, they need cooperation from the public. ? Imanyara tables chilling letter on murder ?plot?http://www.nation.co.ke/News/-/1056/612628/-/ukb2wy/-/index.html ? By?NATION Correspondent Posted?Thursday, June 18?2009?at?22:30 A letter containing chilling details of an alleged assassination plot targeting eight prominent people, among them former minister Martha Karua and MPs Gitobu Imanyara, was tabled in Parliament on Thursday. Dated June 10, 2008, the two-page letter allegedly written by a member of the Kwekwe squad names former MPs Paul Muite (Kabete), Dr Bonny Khalwale (Ikolomani), Mr Ferdinand Waititu (Embakasi), Mr G.G. Kariuki (former MP), political activist Mary Wambui and a Mr Charles Kamau as others on the list of people marked for assassination. Former MP Koigi Wa Wamwere was under 24-hour police surveillance, according to the letter tabled by Mr Imanyara, the Central Imenti MP, who said it was sent to him through Parliament by unknown people. Mr Imanyara gave a copy to the Deputy Speaker and said intelligence officers have been deployed to the General Post Office to screen all letters addressed to MPs. He, however, asked Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim to give guidance on how the House would deal with such chilling information. Crying wolf Mr Maalim agreed that the letter was chilling but his promise to give a ruling next Wednesday did not go down well with Dr Khalwale, who called for urgency in the matter. The writer, who signed himself as Wilfred Njenga, claims orders to eliminate Mr Muite were issued by First Lady Lucy Kibaki to Police Commissioner Maj Gen Hussein Ali, Head of Public Service Francis Muthaura and cabinet Minister John Michuki. But in a quick response, State House dismissed the said letter as a creation of Mr Imanyara, describing the MP as a reckless politician ?crying wolf for reasons best known to him.? ?Hon Imanyara has sunk to his lowest political ebb by making careless, unfounded and callous statements against the First Family,? said a PPS statement. ?Kenyans will not be hoodwinked to believe such cheap propaganda from a man whose political inconsistencies and grandstanding are evident to all,? added the terse statement. Police deputy spokesman Charles Owino described the allegations as cheap political propaganda and asked Mr Imanyara to surrender the letter to the police or any international forensic expert for investigations. ? ? Hospital alert as cholera toll climbs to 81 http://www.nation.co.ke/News/-/1056/612678/-/ukb32e/-/index.html ? Cholera patients admitted at the Coast Provincial General Hospital in Mombasa receive treatment on Thursday. Photo/ GIDEON MAUNDU? By?MWAKERA MWAJEFA Posted?Thursday, June 18?2009?at?22:31 In Summary Doctors declare alert, sending team to Coast as disease claims seven lives Seven people have died in a cholera outbreak at the Coast Province and nine are ill in hospital, according to medical authorities. Coast Provincial Medical boss Maurice Simunyu said, in total, 21 people are confirmed infected, nine of whom are being treated in an isolation ward at the Coast Provincial General Hospital. The medical boss said two patients have died at Coast General and two at the Malindi District Hospital. He did not give the circumstances of the other three deaths. This brings to 81 the national cholera death toll this year, 30 of them in the past month alone. Highly contagious The highly contagious disease, which is passed on by eating contaminated food or drinking dirty water, is now in Nairobi, Suba, Laisamis, Garbatulla and Moyale districts. Cases are distributed throughout the country, though the Coast outbreak appears severe. ?Two of those who died in Mombasa came from the Kongowea area of Kisauni constituency,? Dr Simunyu said, adding that doctors were on high alert and that a medical team had been sent to that particular area to prevent the disease from spreading. Coast Provincial General Hospital chief administrator, Dr Heltan Maganga, said the first patient was diagnosed on June 1 and died the following day. ?Since then, we can confirm 21 cases, out of which nine are undergoing treatment,? he said. ?A team of public health officers has been dispatched to the hard-hit villages of Kisauni, Kongowea, Bombolulu, Maweni and Mishomoroni, where we want to create awareness of proper sanitation practices,? he said. The hospital chief physician, Dr Misfr Swaleh, urged those suffering from any kind of diarrhoea to take a lot of fluids to avoid dehydration. Of those admitted, Dr Swaleh said, 11 were adults and 10 children, among them 12-year-old Caroline Ochieng?, a Standard Four pupil at Kongowea Primary School. She was admitted on Sunday suffering from acute diarrhoea and vomiting. In other parts of the country, the Red Cross reported 25 new cases in Laisamis District, with six admitted to various hospitals in that area. In Merille, four new cases were diagnosed and three patients admitted. In total, 35 cholera patients ? 22 children and 13 adults ? are admitted to Laisamis District Hospital. ? ?

Is this old time 'religion' crumbling under its very own cardinals? Is this old time 'religion' trapped in some crazy old time zone and forgotten that time does not stagnate? Are individuals that profess to this faith being forced to stand by rules rather than principles? Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) has some categorical imperatives on ethical truths, one of which i really like. he states that 'we may act from grounds of compulsion (jurisprudence) or from those of the intrinsic goodness of the action (ethics) thus stating that true ethics are much higher than ordinary laws' Could the catholic church be compelling individuals too much within ordinary laws? wouldnt mind hearing from a sober catholic faithful _________________________________________________________________ Get the best of MSN on your mobile http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/147991039/direct/01/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ DONATE A BOOK TO LYP LIBRARY http://ypkenya.org/projects/donate-a-book/ MORE INFO ON LYP LIBRARY PROJECT http://ypkenya.org/2009/06/project-lyp-library/ REACH OVER 9,200 MEMBERS DIRECTLY BY ADVERTISING ON THIS FORUM.

If you are not a catholic what's your issue with the church. I am a catholic and I do not feel we need your opinion on whether we are out of touch or not. And If you are a catholic you are free to quit because they do not hold gums over our heads. It is your choice. This is the largest faith in the world despite attacks sinece time in memorial, so what makes you think your small voice will shake it? What's so different about celibacy that was not there during the times of jesus. Are you aware that you do not need technology to have sex, it is the same old way (the urges and all). PS. All normal faithfulls in the church have sex and Priest are vowed to celibacy, something which they know very well before they voluntarily join the seminary. Let us please respect other people's faith, because you will rarely see a catholic attack any faith. I just wonder why everyone has issues with the catholic church. Pilipili usioila...RESPECT PLEASE!

Some selective people are on the presidents list and they are the ones who get the invitation to the AGM. Any member who paid the first $20 should be invited to this meeting because we want to know why people lost trust of Maburis leadership and way of handling the organization. I write this as a bona fide KEA founder member who spend a lot of time forming this organization and my contributions can not be ignored. Other members have put in their money and need to know the way forward.This is not a who is who contest in town. It was due to members complain that KACA was prevailed upon to find a forum for members to sort out what is ailing KEA. All KEA members are KACA members and that gives the new leaders an opportunity to reorganize KEA for its members. We asked for financial report to be tabled to all members in two weeks about four months ago. There is need for an explanation for the delay.?This is not just a bank statement but all transactions and membership contributions in total. We need the whole history of the account from day one because the records can be available for up to five years. The financial report?has to be in excel spreadsheet format.It has to show all members and what they have contributed so far to KEA. We need all members full list and a spreadsheet of the final statement. We proposed that members be assigned IDs and by now this should have been done by the chairman and Bonuke volunteered to work with him on this matter. Members who have reached me want an explanation of how the account is run. They want to know how many checks have been written by now and to who. They want minutes for approval for all the checks and those present during the approval. This meeting should be treated by all as the ultimate for we need to move to restore confidence in members who are de franchised so that we can have cash flow start again. If possible Mr Maburi please make a 36 x 48 print of the statement for members easy view. Do not rush members but take each issue one by one to complete everything. Last but not least the new constitution will be approved on that day. Barasa KEA public relations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Kodhek, Owili Ongili, Otieno Ambala, David Kimutai, Mugabe Were, George William Onyango, Oscar K. King'ara, John Oulu etc etc????. A people with no history or capacity to appreciate yester years events in explaining present issues are like a helpless orphaned child with no direction to turn to. The above named individuals never died natural deaths, yet we question and apparently unable to comprehend Mr. Imanyara's position in the current system of things.

My problem however is that the government is the one charged with the responsibility of taking care of orphans and destitute children in our country and has evidently failed. Do they then have the right to police?organizations that are looking into this failure? This then raises a few questions for thought. If not the government then who is entitled to police these setups? Recently in Malawi, Transparency International tried to block Madonna from adopting a child from a childrens home?claiming that it was "unfair". I have until today tried to wonder what?future had been envisaged or planned for this kid by TI. I support your quest to?be the children representative on the forum and await other members views on the current confused state of children support. ?

I am not aware if there is such a body, I do not know if the children's department does this, but I have a nagging feeling that a lot could be going on in such homes where the "destitute" have no say and are at the mercy of the "benefactors" and must do their bidding or be thrown out in the cold cruel world. ? I contend that with sodomy, peadophilia,child prostitution especially at the coast and even child trafficking, we may be dealing with a wide field in the trade of our children either for sexual exploits or for forced labour.Every comouflage must be opened up for scrutiny and those doign a secent job be allowed to carry on their charity while the crimes against children are smoked out. ? Where does the money come from?These sources should be declared?and subject to scrutiny.?Does the government know the sources? Can it verify such? ? Drug money, laundering or proceeds from human trade must not be allowed into the country to "offer charity". ? We must not turn a blind eye to this matter even in the face of vicious defence by people who do not want to question and dig deep just for the sake of our children.There is no harm in doing so, just like we subject our incomes to probity by the Tax man, it does not follow that we are criminals or suspected of dubious activities but simply declaring our legitimate sources of the same. ? The attitude of, " he/they are doing so much for our children" does not give anyone licence to ravage their innocent bottoms. ? Where children are concerned, I will raise a very loud voice for they do not have anyone to do so for them.

Mailbox ************************************************************ Venue for an Artist Hypochondriac's Grace By Fred Moore Dear Lord, we ask you if you will, put your blessing on this meal. We ask you Father, if it pleases, protect us from these new diseases. Please bless the spinach, and the romaine. And cleanse it of some lurking ptomaine. God, bless our ice cream and our cola. Pray it's not teaming with ebola. And pray the deli didn't sell us coleslaw ripe with salmonellus. We also ask a special blessing; no botulism in the dressing. While we regard your higher power, make sure the deviled eggs aren't sour. And please Lord, bless our sirloin tip, and purge it of E. Coli's grip. A special blessing on the sherry, oh Lord, we need no dysentery, so it not poisons, nor impacts, or liquefies our lower tracts. And Lord, make sure no one is able to get sick and die upon this table. So bless, Lord, all this food we share. Insure no deadly virus there. And once we're full and satiated, we pray we aren't all contaminated, and wind up just another toll, for the Center for Disease Control. One last thing Lord, if it's OK, Please hold this blessing that we pray. For all this fear, and all this fright, has made us lose our appetite. Amen About Me: I was going back to a family reunion; a very religious group they were. I am the black sheep of the family. I knew I would be asked to say grace, so I wrote this beforehand. With great somberness I began reading this poem. I saw a few closed eyes pop open, then a chuckle or two, then some outright laughing. By the fourth couplet I had them totally forgetting what we were supposed to be doing. Mission accomplished! I am Fred Moore. Bit of History Aspartame (1965-2000) In 1965, while working on an anti-ulcer drug candidate, G.D. Searle & Company chemist James M. Schlatter discovered aspartame, the methyl ester of the dipeptide of the natural amino acids L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. Schlatter licked his finger, which had accidentally been contaminated with aspartame and discovered the chemical compound's intense sweetness. Searle conducted tests on the artificial sweetener and sought FDA approval for aspartame as a food additive. Following initial safety testing, two activists against food additives asserted these tests had indicated aspartame may cause cancer in rats; as a result, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did not approve aspartame's use as a food additive in the US for many years. Aspartame was originally approved for use in dry foods in 1974 by then FDA Commissioner Alexander Schmidt after review by the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. Searle had submitted 168 studies on aspartame, including seven animal studies that were considered crucial by the FDA. Soon afterwards, scientist and anti-MSG activist John Olney and James Turner, a public-interest lawyer and author of a popular anti-food additive book, filed a petition for a public hearing, citing safety concerns. Schmidt agreed, pending an investigation into alleged improprieties in safety studies for aspartame and several other drugs. The Department of Justice began grand jury proceedings against Searle for fraud. In December 1975, the FDA placed a stay on the aspartame approval, preventing Searle from marketing the artificial sweetener. In 1977 and 1978, an FDA task force and a panel of academic pathologists reviewed 15 aspartame studies by Searle, and concluded that, although minor inconsistencies were found, they would not have affected the studies' conclusions. In 1980, a Public Board of Inquiry (PBOI) heard testimony from Olney and disagreed with his claims that aspartame could cause brain damage, including in the developing fetus. The board decided that further study was needed on a postulated connection between aspartame and brain tumors, and revoked approval of aspartame. In 1980, the FDA convened a Public Board of Inquiry (PBOI) consisting of independent advisors charged with examining the purported relationship between aspartame and brain cancer. The PBOI concluded that aspartame does not cause brain damage, but it recommended against approving aspartame at that time, citing unanswered questions about cancer in laboratory rats. In 1981, FDA Commissioner Arthur Hull Hayes sought advice on the issue from a panel of FDA scientists and a lawyer. The panel identified errors underlying the PBOI conclusion that aspartame might cause brain tumors, and presented arguments both for and against approval. Hayes approved the use of aspartame in dry foods. Several objections followed, but all were denied. In November 1983, Hayes left the FDA and joined public-relations firm Burson-Marsteller as a senior medical advisor. Burson-Marsteller had done public relations work for Searle. A U.S. FDA task force team investigated allegations of errors in the pre-approval research conducted by the manufacturer and found only minor discrepancies that did not affect the study outcomes. In 1983, the FDA further approved aspartame for use in carbonated beverages. In 1985, Monsanto bought G.D. Searle; the aspartame business became a separate Monsanto subsidiary, the NutraSweet Company. In 1993, the FDA approved aspartame for use in other beverages, baked goods, and confections. Three years later, the FDA removed all restrictions on aspartame as a food additive. Aspartame is marketed under a number of trademark names, including Equal, NutraSweet, and Canderel, and is an ingredient of thousands of consumer foods and beverages sold worldwide. These products include, but is not limited to, diet sodas and other soft drinks, instant breakfasts, breath mints, cereals, chewing gum, cocoa mixes, frozen desserts, gelatin desserts, juices, laxatives, chewable vitamins supplements, milk drinks, pharmaceutical drugs and supplements, shake mixes, tabletop sweeteners, teas, instant coffees, topping mixes, wine coolers and yogurt. The U.S. patent on aspartame expired in 1992. On May 25, 2000, Monsanto sold the NutraSweet Company to J.W. Childs Equity Partners II L.P. Intuit's Vibe Aspartame: Pregnant Women, Infants and Children By H. J. Roberts, MD It is my firm opinion that pregnant women, infants and children should avoid ALL products containing aspartame - including vitamins, drugs and supplements. This corporate-neutral summary statement has been prepared as general information in response to numerous requests from concerned patients, parents and consumers. There is no bias or malice intended against any company, distributor, researcher or individuals who may hold a contrary view. The statement is based on considerable observation, research and correspondence published in more than a score of articles and these two books: * Aspartame (Nutrasweet): Is it Safe? (Philadelphia, The Charles Press) * Sweet'ner Dearest: Bittersweet Vignettes About Aspartame (Nutrasweet) (West Palm Beach, Sunshine Sentinel Press). This subject is also reviewed in an updated two-cassette talk: Is Aspartame (Nutrasweet) Safe? A Medical, Public Health And Legal Overview -- 1995 (Sunshine Sentinel Press). An Overview of Aspartame. Each of the three components of aspartame - phenylalnine; aspartic acid; the methyl ester, which promptly becomes methyl alcohol or methanol -- and their multiple breakdown products after exposure to heat or during prolonged storage is potentially toxic, especially to the developing brain. Such toxicity and other serious physiologic derangements are evidenced by the serious reactions suffered by thousands of persons who used these products. The neurotoxic and metabolic complications are likely to affect the fetus and young children even more severely. In my publications, and testimony to Congress and an FDA advisory group, I have expressed the belief that the current wholesale ingestion of aspartame products by over half the adult population constitutes a probably "imminent public health hazard." My concern is intensified by (1) evidence that these products may play a causative or aggravating role in many medical disorders (including headaches, dizziness, confusion, impaired vision, convulsions, and probably brain tumors), (2) the flawed nature of most "scientific" studies being used to "prove" the alleged safety of these products, and (3) reports of serious reactions volunteered to the FDA by over 7,300 irate consumers. I urge ALL pregnant women and mothers who breast-fee to avoid aspartame products...without exception! This message also has been given to obstetricians. The medical and scientific grounds for such advice include: * Exposure of the fetus to considerable phenylalanine and methyl alcohol * Maternal malnutrition associated with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and reduced calories * Transmission of aspartame and its byproducts via the mother's milk * Increasing the "allergic load"...thereby risking future hypersensitivity diseases. I have reported many adverse effects of aspartame products experienced by young persons. They include severe headaches, convulsions, rashes, asthma, gastrointestinal problems, and weight loss or gain. The neuropsychiatric features encompass irritability, hyperactivity, depression, antisocial behavior, deterioration of intelligence, and poor school performance. These complications tend to be magnified in children with unrecognized hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar reactions), diabetes, and phenylketonuria or PKU. Persons with PKU lack the enzyme needed for handling phenylalanine, which can cause severe neurological and other damage if dietary precautions aimed at preventing excessive levels are not instituted. The issue of aspartame-related birth defects has not been resolved by epidemiologic studies. I remain concerned about this possibility, however, because of histories of reports given me about severe problems in the fetus or infant of parents (including fathers) who consumed much aspartame at the time of conception and/or during pregnancy. Several animal studies support such concern. Food, Inc.: Environmental Artistry By John Burl Smith The most encouraging thing about living today is the boldness and creative energy of some artists. I consider anyone who uses their skills, talent and innovative mind-set to convey needed information to people an artist. A product of the 1960s, I was a part of the "black power movement." Much like today, we face an all powerful adversary that seemed unbeatable ? segregation. Segregationists controlled every state from Maryland to Texas and the slave master mind-set dominated the United States on matters where you lived, yet we changed things. People from all over the country put their hearts and minds together to break the grip of fear, white supremacy and terror that gave segregation its power. Today, environmental artists are answering a similar call, but we face a different adversary. These audacious individuals are mounting a spirited challenge to a growing threat to all living things, including the planet itself. Back during the black power era, I was forced to learn to write, not because I desired to be a journalist or novelist, but to fill black people's desperate need for information. As a result, today I stand with all those who are trying to educate people about the changes we must make, if humanity is to survive the greed, vanity, and lust for power driving the world. One of my contributions is a novel, Archangel: A Hip Hop Vision of Love and the Battle of Good Verses Evil. Although a fiction, my aim is to help expand the way people view environmentalism by relating the drama to urban conditions that people face during their daily fight to survive. Archangel is a romantic mystery about an embattled community's struggle against a mega-multi-national corporation that is scheming to control world food production from seeds to the dinner table. A new emerging environmental perspective is being pushed by many innovative artists that are advancing awareness of the mounting threat through a variety of mediums. Considered once to be made up of "tree huggers" or "animal lovers," trying to save endangered species, the environmental movement now thinks beyond plants and animals to the threat knocking at humanity's door. The environmental movement today is people centered; it is concerned with everything that touches the body from -- the air we breath, water we drink, the soil beneath our feet to the substances we ingest. Again as during the 1960s, we are up against the most powerful socioeconomic and political forces on the planet; most prominent are companies that make up the military industrial complex, big oil/coal, big pharmaceuticals/chemicals, big banks/insurance and big food/agribusinesses. Over the last decade writers and film makers have taken the lead developing innovative multimedia approaches to bringing information to people. The Internet is a major asset in reaching and connecting people in this ongoing effort to combat multinational mega-corporations that are only concerned about their bottom lines. Films such as Michael Moore's "SICKOS," Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth," and Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me are some of the more notable efforts that attempt to awaken Americans and the world to the peril we face. Although these documentaries drew deep pocket responses from the industries they exposed, the light of public scrutiny is waking people up to the dire possibilities we face in the future. The latest block buster is Robert Kenner's "Food, Inc." This film targets an industry few people know anything about beyond the local supermarket. Few people realize that the world's food supply is controlled by five multinational corporations (Monsanto, Dow, Cargile, BASF and Archer Daniels Midland.) No matter who grows it or where it is grown, these companies determine the price farmers get and how much you pay in the supermarket. Kenner lifts the veil on the world's food industry, exposing its sleazy underbelly which is hidden from the American consumer by the complicity of government regulatory agencies -- USDA and FDA. Focusing on how the world's food supply is controlled by this handful of corporations that put profits ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of farmers, the safety of workers and the environment, Kenner points the finger at this highly mechanized industry which produces bigger-breasted chickens, perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, and even tomatoes that won't go bad, grown next to feed lots that breed new strains of E. coli. One of the movie's targets is corn -- which today assumes dozens of ubiquitous identities, notably high-fructose corn syrup. Kept at unrealistically low prices by government subsidies, corn is force-fed to cows, which should eat hay, because they have two stomachs. To digest it, they must be pumped full of antibiotics, which are passed on to consumers. These huge pigs and cattle feed lots produce thousands of tons of manure, making them breeding grounds for mutating E.coli strains, which poison the air, land and the water for miles, sickening tens of thousands each year. Food, Inc. connects the dots for the viewer, beginning with the McDonald hamburger assembly-line. Corporate agriculture turned farms into factories, creating huge monocultures of uniform food production. Today, Americans spend more money on food than ever, buying junk food (chips, burgers, chicken nuggets, soda pops, pizzas etc.) containing empty calories. Food, Inc. drives home the point that one out of every three kids living in food deserts and born after 2000 will develop Type 2 diabetes--because it's easier and cheaper to buy a cheeseburger or a giant bottle of diet soda than a head of broccoli. That is why income level is the single greatest predictor of health problems like obesity, diabetes, hypertension and the like. When the phase "black power" was first uttered by H. Rap Brown, it terrorized most Negroes. However, information and education changed the mind-set of slave descendants so much that today we are all "black and proud." The environmental movement has not yet developed such a powerful rallying cry, but we are changing hearts and minds about corporate responsibility, environmental sustainability and governmental accountability. Politics Y2K9 Food Safety Enhancement Act Food safety advocates, led by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), say that rapid passage of the Food Safety Enhancement Act is the best hope for making America's food safer. CSPI food safety director Caroline Smith DeWaal testified in support of the legislation on behalf of the consumer and public health groups that are members of the Safe Food Coalition. The legislation responds to a series of nationwide outbreaks and recalls involving peanut butter, pet food, spinach, hot peppers, and other foods regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. These outbreaks have caused a serious drop in consumer confidence over the last few years, according to the testimony of the groups. The Food Safety Enhancement Act includes many measures that food safety experts have urged for years, including a requirement for food companies to conduct hazard analysis programs and to institute preventive control measures. It also would require the FDA to conduct more-frequent inspections of food processing facilities. While today FDA inspects food factories only about once every ten years, the Food Safety Enhancement Act would require inspections for high-risk facilities every six to 18 months and all facilities, including warehouses, every four years. The bill also would give the FDA something that most consumers probably think the agency already has: the authority to order companies to recall potentially contaminated food. And it provides the FDA with a much broader range of criminal and civil penalties to punish unscrupulous processors who knowingly allow tainted foods onto supermarket shelves. "Fixing food safety at FDA is long overdue," DeWaal said. "The agency is trying to regulate food from all over the world with a 100-year-old toolbox. This bill gives both the food industry and the government new responsibilities for assuring that the food consumers eat won't make them ill." The bill, however, does not accomplish some of the structural changes urged by CSPI and others, such as dividing the FDA into two separate agencies, one focused on food and another on medical products. CSPI hopes Congress and the Obama Administration will do that after the bill is passed. The Safe Food Coalition is also asking Congress to strengthen the legislation in several ways, including: (1) a clearer mandate for testing and reporting of test results to FDA and stronger mandates for the agency to set performance standards; (2) a definition of "risk-based" inspection that covers the entire food supply; and (3) that meat and seafood regulated by FDA face the same regulatory oversight as those products regulated by USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service. The groups are also recommending stricter oversight of food additives, some of which are declared "generally recognized as safe" without FDA review even though they can cause life-threatening allergic reactions or heart disease. Similarly, consumer groups are urging legislators to limit the use of antibiotics in agriculture to control the growth of antibiotic-resistant pathogens in foods.

While they make food look pretty, there may be a downside. Can our children's daily consumption of juices, candy, and soft drinks with these additives be fueling disruptive behavior, restlessness and lack of concentration? Over the past 40 years, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), British authorities and researchers have insisted that there was little or no link between hyperactivity and food preservatives like sodium benzoate or artificial coloring like sunset yellow food dyes. Yet, a study published in the British journal Lancet (2008) has brought this under question. Jim Stevenson, a psychologist at the University of Southampton, recruited 300 children, age 3, 8 and 9 , and spiked their juices with differing quantities of additives and food color. The first group gulped down the usual amount of food with dye that a British child drinks, the second group had half as much, while the third group received no food additives or dye in their juices. Then Stevenson had parents, teachers and a computer measure the children's level of hyperactivity. To the surprise of the researchers, food industry and government officials, the children consuming the drinks with preservatives and dye exhibited higher levels of hyperactivity. Some symptoms were seen within one hour of taking the drink. The study was rigorous in its research methods: all parties were unaware of which drink was being consumed by which child. Also, children were switched from taking one type of drink for one week to another the following week. The hyperactivity level in the kids drinking the spiked juice was not at the level to be defined as ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), which is an illness common in nearly 9 % of the US kids with symptoms of disruptive behavior. However, previous studies have shown that children who do have ADHD can benefit from removing food color and additives from their diet. The effect of additives was more pronounced in 3-year-olds and a select group of children. Scientists believe there may be a genetic link between food and release of histamines causing hyperactivity. Some kids with the genetic predisposition may be super-sensitive to food additives. The study was powerful enough for the U.K. Food Standards Agency to issue new advice for parents to curtail the intake of additives, if their kids show signs of hyperactivity. (Source: http://www.4to40.com/health/) Disgruntled wants to know: A week after President Barack Obama's address to the Muslim world, which was seen by many as empty rhetoric, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the idea of establishing an independent Palestinian state beside Israel for the first time. Of course, Israel will retain control of Jerusalem and the Palestinian state would have to recognize Israel as the Jewish state, a condition that amounts to Palestinian refugees giving up their right of return to Israel. Mr. Netanyahu did not say Israel would be dismantling its illegal settlements that would form part of any Palestinian state. In addition to giving up their right of return and ceding land that should be part of an eventual Palestinian state, the new state of Palestine must be demilitarized.. Given that Israel is the most powerful military state in the region, the only one known to possess nuclear weapons, Netanyahu envisions a weak Palestine at the mercy of its much stronger neighbor, who controls its economic lifeline and against whom it is defenseless. Under those conditions, Israel gives up absolutely nothing, so why wouldn't Mr. Netanyahu agree to the establishment of such a Palestinian state? Disgruntled feels! Empty! This week, without much fanfare, the US Senate unanimously passed a resolution apologizing for slavery and making possible a joint congressional resolution. A similar apology was passed by the House last year. In dealing with the issue of reparations for slavery descendants, the Senate resolution explicitly states that its apology for slavery cannot be used in support of claims for restitution. The House is expected to revisit the issue next week to conform its resolution to the Senate version. Slave descendants, black Americans, are holocaust survivors. When you think about it, an apology for slavery, segregation and ongoing racial discrimination without restitution is just a group of empty words. Disgruntled says: Profits trump public health. Once a product receives the government's approval, it does not matter whether or not it is a public good. People can die by the thousands, are injured with life-threatening conditions, but the government approved products remain on the market. Our government, elected officials and the courts bend over backward to protect private companies' right to make and sell poisonous products, which brings me to my favorite chewing gum. As a general personal rule, I eschew chewing gum in public. I am reminded of a cow chewing its cud, so I mostly chew gum in private. When I get the urge to masticate, I reach for Doublemint, a Wrigley's gum -- the one I grew up with. Recently, I noticed the flavor had changed along with the packaging. Fearing an ingredient difference, I read the nutritional information. There it was, as plain as day; my lifelong gum contains the poison aspartame. It behooves all of us to check the labels; this stuff is in everything. Mailbox: E-Mails, Faxes and Telephone Calls Email www.cnn.com ...Two federal agencies warned consumers Friday not to eat raw Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough. The company said it is recalling an estimated 300,000 cases of the dough as a precaution after reports of food-borne illness in 28 states. There are concerns that the pre-made dough may be contaminated with the bacterium E. coli 0157:H7, which causes abdominal cramping, vomiting and diarrhea, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Young children and the elderly can suffer more serious symptoms. According to Nestle spokeswoman Laurie MacDonald, raw dough was one of the things the sick people reported eating. Since March, the CDC says, 66 people have become sick in 28 states after eating raw cookie dough. Twenty-five people were hospitalized. No one has died. Email www.detroitnews.com Grocery closings hit Detroit hard...City shoppers' choices dwindle as last big chain leaves ...By Joel J. Smith and Nathan Hurst...Colleen Rogers isn't looking forward to crossing the street to shop for even a few groceries. The store, a locally owned market, is convenient, just steps away from the beauty shop where she works on Livernois in Detroit. But what troubles her is its higher prices, lack of variety and the low quality of fruit, vegetables, meats and other food -- staples Rogers could find every day in abundance at the Farmer Jack store near her home that is about to close. The lack of major grocery stores has long been a quality-of-life problem in Detroit and one reason some families don't want to live in the city. Now, however, the situation is getting worse as the last two Farmer Jack stores in the city prepare to close by Saturday. If no grocery stores buy the Farmer Jack locations from the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., Detroit will be left without a single national chain supermarket, much less a Wal-Mart or Meijer superstore or a Costco-style warehouse store. Analysts say no other major city in America is such a supermarket desert. And it's not likely to change anytime soon. Email UNNews at un.org ... Food Security Major Challenge for World's Poorest, Ban Tells US Students...Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told a gathering at an American university that the daily reality for one third of the world's population who live on less than $2 a day include decisions such as which of their children gets to eat. "No one should face such choices. No one should face such privation, not in a world of such wealth," Mr. Ban said in a wide-ranging speech at St. Louis University in Missouri last Friday. Mr. Ban noted that one billion people around the world, known as the "bottom billion," live on less than $1 a day and two billion live on less than $2 a day, and many if not most are children suffering from hunger and malnutrition. He pointed out that families who spend more on food have less for health and education, beginning a social spiral which the whole society goes down. The challenge of food security must be addressed immediately, said Mr. Ban. "We need to strengthen agricultural infrastructure, increase productivity and do away with unfair terms of trade."

The decision follows a wave of nationalizations and increased scrutiny of businesses in South America's top oil exporter. Health Minister Jesus Mantilla said the zero-calorie Coke Zero should no longer be sold and stocks of the drink removed from store shelves. "The product should be withdrawn from circulation to preserve the health of Venezuelans," the minister said in comments reported by the government's news agency. Mantilla did not say what health risks Coke Zero, which contains artificial sweeteners, posed to the population. **************************************************** For comments, questions or to unsubscribe, email thedish at ga.net. ***************************************************** From bmugambi at gmail.com Fri Jun 19 06:39:27 2009 From: bmugambi at gmail.com (BENSON MUGAMBI) Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:39:27 +0300 Subject: [Jambo] [YP_Ke] Father Kizito could be innocent Message-ID: Hi YPs, You could already have seen this, its all over the internet.

Consideration of a bill to create a tribunal to try the alleged perpetrators of post-election violence in Kenya is highly not practical. The sending of the suspects to the International Criminal Court in The Hague is the only affective and impartial means for administering?justice. The ethnic and political violence that followed the country's 2007 elections left more than 1,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced. A tribunal in Kenya would be vulnerable to political manipulation, particularly given that many of those suspected of involvement in the clashes are cabinet ministers and other influential political figures. Previous commissions and investigations launched by the government have not achieved any results to-date, a trend that predicts least that will be accomplished by the tribunal yet to be set in Kenya. The apparent manipulation and the continual conspiracy of Dr Kofi Annan and coalition government to avoid these perpetrators to be charged at the ICC ?The Hague?, is conspiracy to pervert the course of justice for the helpless Kenyans who have been bereaved, and those living in internally displaced people?s camps (IDPs)??whose hearts are still bleeding from inside. Mr Kofi Annan should and with immediate effect deliver all the names of the perpetrators of the post elections killings to the ICC or risk being accused of blocking the justice and misuse of power, causing unprecedented suffering and deaths of Kenyans. The coalition government does not have political will to persecute the past and the ongoing extra-judicial killings in country; neither do they have concern about the very many Kenyans still living as Internal Displaced Person (IDP?s) in and outside country as refugees. Kenyans provided detailed convincing and overwhelming evidence to both Waki Commission and Prof Aslton investigation team on Extra-Judiciary killings by the police death squads. There is continued threats and killings by the same perpetrators in government despite the findings. The assassination of Jomo Kenyatta University don Prof Peter Francis Kenya and the threats to assassinate Hon. Gitobu Imanyara are evidence that Kenya Police death squad still operates with explicit orders. These heartless agents are still free to kill at will. The Orange Democratic Party, a partner in the coalition government of Kenya should come out openely and demonstrate its position as far as the persecution of those on a secret list of suspects in the failed Kenya elections is concerned. Kenyans across the world should unite and?excert a worldwide campaign to have Mr Kofi Annan?to deliver the names of the suspects to the ICC.?Continued withholding of these names is a pure denial of ?the justice to the Kenya people. President Mwai Kibaki should be investigated by the International Criminal Court over extra judicial killings.

Message-ID: <382407.4399.qm@web37005.mail.mud.yahoo.com> While it is good charity that we have people willing to take care of orphans and destitute children, isn't it, in view of the recent accusations flying against a father involved in taking care of such younsters, that the government stated monitoring closely the activities of such intitutions and also have an oversight body that oversees their activities? ? I am not aware if there is such a body, I do not know if the children's department does this, but I have a nagging feeling that a lot could be going on in such homes where the "destitute" have no say and are at the mercy of the "benefactors" and must do their bidding or be thrown out in the cold cruel world. ? I contend that with sodomy, peadophilia,child prostitution especially at the coast and even child trafficking, we may be dealing with a wide field in the trade of our children either for sexual exploits or for forced labour.Every comouflage must be opened up for scrutiny and those doign a secent job be allowed to carry on their charity while the crimes against children are smoked out. ? Where does the money come from?These sources should be declared?and subject to scrutiny.?Does the government know the sources? Can it verify such? ? Drug money, laundering or proceeds from human trade must not be allowed into the country to "offer charity". ? We must not turn a blind eye to this matter even in the face of vicious defence by people who do not want to question and dig deep just for the sake of our children.There is no harm in doing so, just like we subject our incomes to probity by the Tax man, it does not follow that we are criminals or suspected of dubious activities but simply declaring our legitimate sources of the same. ? The attitude of, " he/they are doing so much for our children" does not give anyone licence to ravage their innocent bottoms. ? Where children are concerned, I will raise a very loud voice for they do not have anyone to do so for them. So be it Father Kizito or the rich Italians at the coast, I am asking like minided people to join me in lobbying/petitioning our government to safe guard our children from rogues and the twisted?of society. ? ?

Africa: A Time for Leadership Kofi Annan 10 June 2009 document Cape Town ? Introducing this year's report of the Africa Progress Panel, which he chairs, Kofi Annan says Africa's leaders are primarily responsible for leading the continent?in the current economic crisis: ? Last year, our Africa Progress Panel report was dominated by concern about the impact of the food and fuel crises and of climate change on Africa's people. These concerns persist, but they have been overshadowed by yet another, potentially more perilous, threat. The global economic downturn is likely to hit Africa particularly hard, not only through the direct effects of decreases in trade, foreign direct investment, remittances and possibly aid levels, but also as a result of the response measures put together by the developed world, which encourage capital to flee from the economic periphery to perceived safety in the West. This new setback is coming at a time when many African countries have been recording remarkable economic, social and political progress. There are numerous success stories, including double-digit economic growth, private sector development, innovative banking, use of mobile telephony, free and fair elections, roll-back of malaria, increased school enrolment rates, as well as civil society and women being more engaged in decision making. There is plentiful and compelling evidence that rapid improvement in human development is possible in even the most difficult and resource constrained environments. But these success stories beg the question as to why hundreds of millions of Africans still lack access to the opportunities and basic means that would allow them to lead healthy and productive lives. ? Africa faces hurdles unique to her circumstances, including political fragmentation, infrastructure and communication deficits, and vulnerability to infectious and other diseases. The continent's countries are least responsible for, yet most affected by, many of the problems that the world confronts, including climate change, financial instability and economic contraction. Responsibility for progress in Africa must therefore be shared. Africa's leaders and her international partners, whether industrialized countries or the emerging economies, donors or corporations, have each a role to play in contributing to the continent's economic, social and political progress. Strong partnerships will enable Africa to contribute solutions to global problems, including models for low carbon economic growth and investment opportunities to stimulate the global economy. At a time when other financial flows are dropping, G8 and donor countries have an even greater responsibility to honour their international aid commitments and to ensure that global deals, whether on trade, climate change, intellectual property, illicit drugs, crime or migration, are supportive of Africa's development needs. Aid, effectively used, can leverage other financial flows, strengthen capacities and meet urgent social and humanitarian needs. ? As this year's report from ONE underscores, despite the economic downtown many donors are honouring their aid commitments, recognizing the practical value of investing in Africa's development, as well as the moral and political imperative of keeping their promises. Regrettably others, including some G8 countries, are not; this is a cause of deep concern to us. At the same time, primary responsibility for Africa's progress rests with her political leaders. They face the challenge of articulating and asserting Africa's needs and agenda on the global stage, drawing upon the values and standards enshrined in the Constitutive Act of the African Union and other landmark agreements as the basis for partnership and support from both the global South and OECD countries. This is also the basis for attracting investment and ensuring that urgently needed aid resources are used as effectively as possible. Africa's leaders face additional challenges. The success stories show that the quality of people's lives, the opportunities available to them, and their economic security can be rapidly improved with the right combination of leadership, resources and accountability. The problem is that these successes are not being replicated enough or taken to scale. Resource wealth or availability is not alone sufficient for advancing human development whether at the national or project level. More important is the determination of national and local leaders to use these resources to achieve results and address what citizens want and deserve; security, jobs, food, access to health care and education. Engaging people in decisions as to how resources are used is an effective way to generate trust and the optimum use of funds. As the barriers to progress multiply, the quality of political leadership has become ever more relevant, and Africa is no exception. The primary responsibility of leaders is to set and drive a national development agenda that is responsive to peoples' needs and aspirations, and for which leaders are then accountable. The quality of dialogue between citizens and their leaders is a critical condition for progress and also the best form of managing tensions, and therefore of conflict prevention. Accountability of those in authority is a tradition and practice that has long roots in Africa's culture. But in many parts of the continent, it is frayed. There are too many instances of elite capture of resources, growing inequality in wealth and opportunity, and the abuse of electoral processes to legitimize exclusive deals among the most powerful. Relevant Links Sustainable Development Business Much more can and needs to be done to engage Africa's people in growth and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, whether in towns or rural communities, in schools and health centres, in district assemblies and legislatures. Accountability to people, including to Africa's greatest resource, her women, is the soundest basis for leadership, and for ensuring that precious financial resources, whether from domestic sources or donors, are best used to deliver tangible results. Kofi A. Annan is chair of the African Progress Panel, which was formed to maintain a focus on the commitments to Africa made by the international community in the wake of the Gleneagles G8 Summit and of the Africa Commission report in 2007. ?

Message-ID: <241479.78977.qm@web51908.mail.re2.yahoo.com> SUNDAY,?JUNE 21ST,?2009?AT?10:27 AM Responsible Fatherhood Posted by Macon PhillipsOn the 100th anniversary of Father's Day, the President writes a piece on fatherhood in Parade Magazine talking about his own life and highlighting the responsibilities all fathers must step up to: In many ways, I came to understand the importance of fatherhood through its absence?both in my life and in the lives of others. I came to understand that the hole a man leaves when he abandons his responsibility to his children is one that no government can fill. We can do everything possible to provide good jobs and good schools and safe streets for our kids, but it will never be enough to fully make up the difference. That is why we need fathers to step up, to realize that their job does not end at conception; that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child but the courage to raise one. On?Friday the President hosted some well-known fathers and everyday dads from across the country to discuss what fathers are doing to strengthen themselves, their families and their communities.? One of the guests at that event was Chief Quartermaster John Lehnen, who adds his thoughts to the President's in this video: var params = { allowscriptaccess: "always", allowfullscreen: "true", wmode:"transparent"}; swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/vVJXrJhzrcQ&hl=en&fs=1&showinfo=0&showsearch=0", "flashcontent", "480", "295", "8", null, {}, params); download .mp4 (26 MB) Chief Lehnen is a devoted husband and father of four special needs children, and with over 10 years of service, he has shown extraordinary dedication to his family and country.? That dedication has been honored with multiple awards including the Sailor of the Quarter and Navy-Corps Achievement and Commendation Medals and the 2009 Military Fatherhood Award from National Fatherhood Initiative.? Chief Lehnen also cares deeply about his fellow sailors and their families, encouraging sailors to participate in the United Through Reading campaign and family readiness groups.

"This promise means upholding America's tradition as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants," he said. The President also gave a general outline of his immigration plan-ensuring employers don't exploit low-income workers, requiring immigrants pay taxes, learn English and get in line to naturalize. Administration Begins Rolling Back Midnight Regulations Left by Bush Administration While a bill that would reform our immigration system waits in queue behind other issues, like healthcare and climate change, the new Administration has begun a good faith effort to right some of the most egregious wrongs left by the former White House. Despite positive signs toward immigration reform--such as Attorney General Eric Holder's reversal of Mukasey's decision, DHS's enforcement focus on bad-seed employers and the suspension of the Bush administration's "widow penalty," there is still much to be done. Why Anti-immigrant Bills Fail at the State and Local Level Congress's failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform has left many states legislatures in the position of trying to deal with their new immigrant communities. While some states and localities have pushed measures to integrate newcomers into their communities, others have tried to enact harsh immigration-control measures such as deputizing police to enforce immigration laws, requiring employers to verify employment authorization through the flawed E-Verify program, and denying public benefits to immigrants. New Report Links Hate Crime and Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric The Washington Post highlighted a report by civil rights leaders linking the recent spike in hate crimes against Hispanics and people perceived to be immigrants with inflammatory rhetoric present in the immigration debate. The report, published by the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund (LCCREF), looks at FBI hate crime statistics and calls for a more civil discourse that informs progress rather than "dehumanizing, racist stereotypes and bigotry" that so often permeate the debate. FAIR Takes Aim at Virginia's Immigrants and Children In a new report, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) claims that "Virginia's illegal immigrant population costs the state's taxpayers nearly $1.7 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration." However, the statistical gymnastics in which FAIR engages to produce this number render it virtually meaningless. FAIR dramatically exaggerates the fiscal "costs" imposed by undocumented immigrants by including the schooling of their native-born, U.S.-citizen children in its estimate and completely discounts the economic role that undocumented workers play as consumers who help support Virginia businesses. Assembly Line Injustice at Immigration Court A new study by Appleseed, a non-profit organization focused on reforming the American justice system, highlights the extent to which misguided deportation-only strategies have led to a breakdown in our immigration court system. The study, based on interviews with more than one hundred practitioners, academics, and government officials, found that America's immigration courts are overwhelmed by the number of cases flooding the system. ???????????? ???????????????????????

What the government should do is to charge all the oil tanker victims once they recover for looting and for wasting public resources into their treatment. They should then be jailed for not less than 5 years, if this is done no one will ever go near any oil tanker that falls.

By Rev Okoth Otura ? The apparent manipulation and the continual conspiracy of Mr Kofii Annan and the Kenya PM Raila Odinga to avoid the Kenya post election perpetrators to be charged at the ?The Hague?, ICC, is conspiracy to pervert the course of justice for the helpless Kenyans who died or lost their love ones in the post-election violence. ? The continual threats and killings of the dissident voices has rendered the detailed, convincing and? overwhelming evidences collected by Waki and Prof Philip Alston on the Extra-Judiciary killings by the police death squads useless, since the main perpetrators ( Police Commissioner Ali and AG Wako) are still in government. ? This can be confirmed by the recent assassination threats to disgruntled MP?s ( Hon Imanyara, & Dr Khalwale )? and the murder of University Don, Prof Kenya, and therefore the Police death squad still operates with explicit orders from Coalition Government and are still free to kill at will. The ODM leadership in the current ICC debate is questionable. ? ?Millions of Kenyans are living under dehumanised conditions and are heavily being taxed to maintain the lucrative reckless lifestyle of the government ministers and parliamentarians; this is an act of economical plunder and must be treated as an extension of economical crime. ? The current coalition government does not have political will to persecute the past and the ongoing extra-judicial killings in the country; neither do they have concern about the very many Kenyans still living as (IDP?s) in and outside the country. ? The idea of commissioning a new constitution experts is mere nostrum, and waste of tax payers and donor funds.This is actually a desperate move of power hungry political tyrant?s tactics to keep hanging unto power through twist and turn of political gimmicks. ? Mr Kofi Annan respect the voice of the people of Kenya and stop blocking the justice by voluntary forward all the names of the proprietors to the ICC or risked being accused of blocking the justice and misuse of power, causing unprecedented suffering and deaths of Kenyans. ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nyanza produces some of the most brilliant minds in Kenya, but it seems every time somebody from Nyanza has to be appointed to something for ODM, they invariably turn out to be related to the Odinga family.? If this story it raises serious some very serious questions from the future. Wafula ? By Cyrus Ombati Prime Minister Raila Odinga?s sister, Dr Wenwa Akinyi, has been appointed Consulate General in Kenyan mission in Los Angeles, US. And a former assistant minister for Internal Security Stephen Tarus has been appointed the Kenyan High Commissioner to Australia, The Standard can reveal. Tarus, who lost his bid to be re-elected the MP for Emgwen in the last General Election was appointed by the President in changes made in selected foreign missions. Impeccable sources at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Tarus? appointment was made following weeks of consultation. The High Commissioner to Caniberra John Lepi Lanyasunya has been recalled to the ministry headquarters. raila sister The source, who wished not to be named, further revealed the Consulate General in Los Angeles, Ms Nyambura Kamau, has also been recalled to Nairobi. Akinyi is a lecturer at the department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi. Kenyan Ambassador to the US is still Peter Rateng and our source disputed claims he has been recalled. It also emerged that the High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Joseph Muchemi, has been recalled. Mr Muchemi?s replacement has not been announced, but he has until the end of August to leave. It is expected that he will hand over to his deputy, Mr Addison Chebukaka. The High Commissioner made the UK Kenyan Embassy more open during his term. The appointment of representatives in foreign missions has been an issue for the Grand Coalition principals, as each side demanded equal representation. Insiders say there are four vacant positions in foreign missions to be filled. Among them are Vienna, Seoul and Kigali. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

These people could not get jobs or were frustrated in their jobs during Kenyattas, Mois and even Kibaki's regimes because they were an Odinga. Now that Raila is PM, they cant get jobs because they belong to this family! When will they ever be fairly employed!! We are starting here a situation where we will be up against our leadership for ever and for every small thing. I really doubt it is fair to expect that Raila's sister or brother will perpetually be dependent on him for everything simply because the system can not directly absorb them - REASON you are Raila's sister. Get off it ladies and gentlemen. I agree that equity in Kenya's distribution of the cake has been wanting and great need to re think it with a view to correction. BUT, I doubt it can be corrected by these cheap discrimination - denying qualified people opportunities because they belong to certain families.

As always, we appreciate your valued feedback. This week insecurity in Nairobi appears to have risen a notch higher. On matters environment, we appreciate the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (Kacc) for swiftly taking up the World Environment Day expenses. We eagerly await the report. We also appreciate those of you who joined us at last Tuesday's BTS-15 session at which CBK Governor Prof. Njuguna Ndung'u and IPAR's Prof. Inonda Mwanje did not disappoint. We remind you to diarize for the BTS-16 on 23rd July with UNEP Director General Dr. Achim Steiner. We also request your articles and advertising support to Neighbourhood Kenya Journal July/August edition. We are glad you are reading us. Editor Water Services Trust Fund on KARA's "Neighbourhod Kenya": I acknowledge receipt of KARA's publication "Neighbourhood Kenya", which focuses on proper housing and environment for residents. We also congratulate Mr. Philip Kisia on his appointment to the City Council as the Nairobi Town Clerk. The Water Services Trust Fund (WSTF) believes that continued exchange of information and knowledge in the sector is instrumental in improving accessibility to water and sanitation to all Kenyans. I applaud you good work and look forward to continued partnership with KARA", Mr. Kennedy Ochuka, WSTF (For: CEO) How you could ease Nairobi's rising insecurity level: First, it is important to undertake your personal security audit. On this, you will want to ask yourself and get good answers on how safe you are and why you could not be. On the vulnerability factors, you will want to check what could be the cost-effective mitigation measures. Learning to be alert and knowing that you could be under the criminals' surveillance would be the beginning point. KACC investigating World Environment Day Expenses: The Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (Kacc) swiftly moved to commence investigations into questionable expenses for this year's World Environment Day, The KARA Weekly e-Newsletter can authoritatively reveal. Full-story "Corporate Mr. Fix it" - Simba Colt's Dinesh Kotecha: In the next edition of KARA's Neighbourhood Kenya, we bring you the inspiring, powerful and untold story of Mr. Dinesh Kotecha, the Group General Manager at Simba Colt Group of Companies. For 16 years at PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC), the man who left as Director of Business Advisory (where he traversed the globe and armed with his business advisory and Forensic Audit expertise), he investigated many most talked about corruption cases in Kenya and around Africa. Dinesh is a Qualified Accountant, an MBA graduate from the Herriot Watt University in the UK and a Certified Fraud Examiner (USA) with training from Tee Side University in the UK. "I am in the business of formulation and implementation of the group's strategy especially so on the diversification and expansion", says the shrewd but soft spoken, down to earth and youthful achiever, now working for a group remitting an estimated Ksh2.5B in statutory taxes annually. The group subsidiaries include Simba Colt Motors Limited, Bavaria Auto Limited (local franchise holder for BMW), Associated Vehicle Assemblers, Africa Fleet Management Limited( Fleet management solutions) AVIS-Rent a Car and vast interests in the hospitality industry, among others.

"Uncivilized Masters" or Civil Servants - "Top 50, Bottom 50": Forget politicians, it is true that technocrats run the government. Many at times, you will even find MP's waiting at the receptions chasing for favours. With your support, Neighbourhood Kenya's July/August edition will be listing the top 50 best performing and more importantly accessible civil servants. They could be Permanent Secretaries; CEO's of parastatals, government agencies or Local Authorities. As such, we want to give you chance to mention the civil servants you believe are most accessible by either face to face meetings; telephone or by letters. They respond quickly and leave you with a smile as a taxpayer. On the other hand, there are "Uncivilized Masters". They purport or act with impunity, arrogance and they are simply inaccessible.

The media constantly bombard us with news stories depicting the negative aspects of Black youth. ?Most stories never fail to mention "gang related" or "drugs are suspected to be involved". ?Well, this is a very different type of story. ?This story profiles a Black youth that seems to be headed in the right direction and at a very young age. ?Let's send this one around the Internet and give some props to a young man that has restored some faith in today's youth and made us all proud. Black Youth Makes Medical Breakthrough By BET.com Staff Tony Hansberry II, a 14-year-old, African-American high school freshman, has developed a surgical stitching technique that can ease post-surgery complications and lessen the chance of errors among physicians, Black America Web reports. ? Tony Hansberry has been working with Bruce Nappi, the administrative director at the University of Florida 's Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research, on a new technique for sewing up hysterectomy patients. "I've always had a passion for medicine," he told reporter Jackie Jones in a recent interview. "The project I did was, basically, the comparison of novel laparoscopic instruments in doing a hysterectomy repair. ?The youth presented his findings in April at a medical conference at the University of Florida before an audience of doctors and board-certified surgeons. ?"I just want to help people and be respected, knowing that I can save lives," said Hansberry, who attends Darnell-Cookman, a special medical magnet school that allows him to take advanced classes in medicine. He hopes to become a neurosurgeon some day. One of his teachers at Darnell-Cookman, Angela TenBroeck said, "He's an outstanding young man, and I'm proud to have him representing us." Hansberry was an intern at the University of Florida 's Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research at Shands Hospital in Jacksonville when he came up with the concept. At the time, he was responding to a challenge to improve on an endo-stitch procedure used in hysterectomies. It took me a day or two to come up with the concept, Hansberry said. His discovery earned him second place at the regional science fair in February 2009. Tony's mom is a nurse and his dad pastors an African Methodist Episcopal church.

RIVER NILE WATER PACT WITH RIPARIAN COUNTRIES IN TOTAL DISREGARD TO KINSHASA AGREEMENT.. News Analysis By Leo Odera Omolo Egyptian and Sudanese government have jointly disowned the agreement signed last month in Kinshasa DR Congo by countries members of the Nile Basin Commission. The two nation have written a joint protest note to other Nile Basin countries saying that agreement that gave the downstream countries superior rights over the use of River Nile waters were still binding on all, despite the recent adoption of legislation opposed to the agreements in the colonial era. The protest note from Egypt and Sudan means that the two countries have hastily backed down from the recent decision taken by Nile Basin countries at a meeting of the Nile Council of Ministers {Nile Com}in Kinshasa, DR Congo, to go ahead and sign a new agreement to govern the use of River Nile waters while temporarily shelving a controversial article that has delayed signing of the pact for years. The two countries described the decision to go ahead with a new agreement as ? A violations of the consensus? principles which has been the basis of the Nile COM decisions all along and would? undoubtedly ignore and disregard all joint efforts that the Nile Basin countries exerted on the issue for more than ten years.? He two downstream countries have instead asked Nile Basin countries to return to the negotiation table and resolve pending issues in the draft Nile pact before signing. ? The letter signed by the Egyptian Minister for Water Resources and Irrigation Mohamed Nasr El-din Allam and the Sudanese Minister for Irrigation and Water Resources Kamal Ali Mohamed reads in parts;Egypt and Sudan invite the seven upstream Nile Basin countries to return to the negotiation table to resolve all pending issues including article 14 and the other articles concerning prior notification and consensus. ? However, Egypt and Sudan reserve their rights based on principles and norms of public international law, in particular their rights based on the ?existing agreements? which are by their nature binding to all Nile Basin countries?. ? The new agreement would have paved the way for the establishment of a permanent river-basin commission whose first and foremost task will be to resolve the pending articles that addresses the sensditive matter of water security. ? Individually, it emerged that Egypt and Sudan have divergent views on alternative to dealing with issues pending? resolution in the agreement, after Sudan wrote another letter to the chairman of the Nile Com, Jose Endundo of DR Congo opposing Egypt?s proposal to form an independent committee with limited constitution? to resolve the issue of water security. ?rights, is going back to the very foundations of their position to have the new pact acknowledger current uses and rights of River Nile waters,.? Reasoning that the old agreements meant well for countries like Egypt that relied on the river as the only sources of water The Sudan delegation had left the Kinshasa meeting prematurely, leaving Egypt in a weak negotiating position against a popular view of the other states, that they should sign the new pact, and reserve controversial issues for later resolution. The other Nile Basin countries are Burundi,Tanzania,Kenya,Rwanda DR. Congo,Uganda and Ethiopia. In order to strike a compromise, Egypt had earlier suggested that an independent committee including itself and Sudan be constituted to deal with the pending issue on water security rather than leaving it to the Commission when established. But interestingly, Sudan opposed this move in a separate letter it wrote to Mr Endundo. T reads as follows;??The government of Sudan does not agree to the formation of a committee of ministers from the eastern Nile, the Equatorial lake region, Egypt and Sudan and one or two experts from international organizations to formulate an acceptable text as proposed by Egypt.? The Nile Basin Initiative Secretariat was preparing to send documents to respective governments for reviewing ahead of commencement of signing next month, when Egypt and Sudan all of a sudden sent their letter. T could not be immediately established whether Mr. Endundo hand replied to the letters, by the time of writing this article.

Writes Leo Odera Omolo IT TOOK police in the outskirt of Kisumu City to battle with rowdy fuel looters who rushed to the scene of accident ready to siphon the leaking fuel from an overturned tanker.. The looter fiercely resisted order issued by the police that they disperse and keep, a distant of the oil tanker. The tanker had overturned near Nyamasaria a suburb of Kisum,u City, and only six km from the City?s? town centre. On the main Kisumu-Aheroro9ad. But not before two of the would be fuel thieves left minus their trousers, which were tightly held? the grips of the fierce police dogs jaws. One sustained serious dog bite and was seen bleeding on his buttocks as he fled naked for dear life. This was the second accident involved oil tankers. The first accident. occurred near Ojola on the main Kisumu-Maseno road when an oil tanker ferrying more than 40,000 diesel oil overturned spilling its oil cargo by the roadside..The policemen who rushed to the scene of the accident politely pleaded with the members of the public to keep away from the overturned oil tanker, but the public defiantly surged forward with hundreds of plastic containers ready to siphon the fuel. Sensing the danger of being attacked and beaten up the crowd which had started throwing stones, the officers called for reinforcement and more policemen arrived at the scene ?accompanied by fierce police dogs. At this time the drama began with rowdy youth who had started throwing stones at the officers fled in all direction. But not before some of them run away minus their trousers, which remains behind at the grips of the jaws of fierce police dogs. One of the fuel looters was seen bleeding profusely from his buttocks? after suffering a dog bite. The security men, however, eventually succeeded in keeping the fuel looters at a safe distant. This was the second incident within a brief spell of one week when the police had to use the dogs to dispersed the fuel looters. The first incident occurred at Ojola on thre main Kisumu-Busoa road where an oil tanker ferrying over 40,000 liters of diesel oil to Jinja in Eastern Uganda rolled up and overturned spilling the liquid inflammatory fuel by the roadside. It took several hours before the police succeeded in keeping ?the unruly crowd at bay and in safe distant from the overturned truck. On Sunday night, another oil tanker overturned in the maize field outside Kaitui Market in Ainamoi constituency, Kericho district. The scene of the latest accident is only two kilometers from the scene of last week accident at Kabokyek village also on the main Kericho-Kisumu road. The accident claimed four lives and injured 32 other people who were rushed to different hospitals and medical institutions in Kericho Town, Nakuru and Nairobi. Nobody was hurt in the latest accident, and the owners of the petrol tank were on the scene of accident within minutes equipped with another oil tanker, and the fuel from the ill-fated tanker were suckled out and transfer to another vehicle. The public, this time kept away at a safe distant until the transfer of the inflammatory Liquid oil was over. ?Meanwhile the police have confirmed that three more victims of last week accident in which a oil tanker ferrying 43,000 liters of super petrol fuel overturned and exploded into a ball of fire at Kabokyek village as it was negotiating a sharp corner bent. Kericho OCPD Mr. Petterson Maelo gave the names of the dead as Joseph Kipsigei 30 who died at Kericho district Hospital. The diseased had received 96 per cent bodily burns. Another victim?s name was given as Duncan Kipng?etich koskei 18, who succumbed to his injuries at the Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi where he was flown for specialized treatment. The fourth victim is M r. ?Benjamikn Ng?eno who died at the Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi. He too had suffered 90 per cent burns and Samuel Kipkemoi who died at the Nakuru Provincial General Hospital. A total of 46 people were seriously hurt and had to b rushed to different hospitals in Kericho and later to Nakuru and Nairobi, particularly those who sustained serious bodily burns and needed specialized treatment. At the same time the driver of the ill-fated oil tanker who at first was reported to have gone missing has surfaced at Kericho Police Station accompanied by his loader and the employer. He told the police that he had fled the scene of the accident to safe his life. He feared that the villagers would attack them. The two the driver and the loader were detained for interrogation,and the police source revealed that they were actively investigating if there id any foul play in the accident or if the accident had been staged managed after the content of the oil tanker had been off-loaded and emptied elsewhere and the vehicle rolled deliberately to conceal the theft of its contents.. The tanker was carrying 43,000 of highly inflammatory super petrol fuel when it over turned. And the police are suspicious that the quantity of fuel that spilled out was too small. They believed that the fuel was capable of burning more than ten acres of land, but in this particular case the area burnt out is less than acre, which means the oil tanker had less fuel? A police source saiud that a team of investigators would be dispatched to the Nakuru Offices of the Kenya Revenue Authori9ty {KRA} to verify the invoices and cash sales so as to ascertain the true quantity of the fuel carrying or loaded on the ill-fated oil tanker.

In this case of Waki suspects with a delicate balancing act we can solve it friendlier rather than going Hague or Local Tribunal way when we develop a water tight system As I look at the following First bird will be Hague Express Second bird will be Local tribunal Third bird will be Formation of Truth and Reconciliation Am left wondering what I can do if I was given the mandate to decide their fate I will sound both myopically and disrespectful to those whom injustice was meted on like opening shootings in Kisumu, Kakamega, Eldoret,Nairobi, Coast and other parts of the country ,when I suggest that there is not need of sending those in the Waki envelope to Hague or forming a local tribunal to try them Because , looking at our Kenyan justice system and also how divided we are as a country either Haque or Local Tribunal will not be a water tight proof solution but will just make Kenyans more divided and also we should not forget that it was a wide spread impunity Also very soon we shall have a Referendum which am not sure how it will end Now after careful analysis of all likely scenarios I will pitch for a journey like forming Truth and Reconciliation Commission Why do I say so because initially we have formed many tribunals but at end of the day nothing serious has come up. I have opted to go for a Truth and Reconciliation hoping that this will inflict self guilty to those who planned, funded, carried out those heinous acts and with self guilty they will be humanely compelled to confess A truth and reconciliation in my believe will go along way to give a healing process a chance because as Krieger said that our election system was poorly managed that it was impossible to say for sure who won and we accepted that verdict even though in contrary As Kenyans I believe we are capable of seeking truth and reconciliation system where those being accused for being behind those mayhem can be asked to speak out what role they played and as Kenyans we shall decide if it will make sense to forgive them or not. This will help us Kill many birds with one stone It will help Kenyans to reflect on humanity principles and peace and it will go a long way of making Kenya a new and respectful place to live. Hague Express in my view it will be just gymnastic and mockery for justice nothing will be solved rather we shall polarize the country more Local Tribunal this will be a greatest comedy ever seen because our judicial system is lethargic and I doubt if Justice Evans Gicheru has that will to handle a high profile criminal cases like post election violence One- file cases will disappear as without trace Two- Judges will be compromised and their rulings will be if not how will they be selected even if we chose foreigners we shall need local judges and looking at the ugly face or this animal called tribalism whoever will be chosen to preside over such case will be looked into form tribalism lens A possible scenario if A Mr. Owino is to preside over a case where A Mr Kamau is the accused or vice-versa there is a likelihood of determining such case even before it is concluded In my view before we talk of Local tribunal or Hague we need to drum up strong support to educate the public about injustice so that we do not create another flame that we may fail to stop What other way will be better option or bitter option people?

To: youngprofessionals_ke at googlegroups.com Date: Tuesday, June 23, 2009, 2:23 AM Appointments made to any office should be not only be done fairly, but also seen to be done fairly. But then again, there are always exceptions to the rule. Employing relatives of an influential person to important positions can be seen as unfair advantage rather than merit, on the surface. So, when it does occur, as there are always exceptions to the rule, there should be proper justification for the appointment, ie, in form of merit. It is possible that more than one star can shoot from the same skyline. --- On Mon, 6/22/09, odhiambo okecth wrote: From: odhiambo okecth Subject: [YP_Ke] Re: Prime Minister Raila Odinga?s sister, Dr Wenwa Akinyi, has been appointed Consulate General in Kenyan mission in Los Angeles, US.

To: bidiiafrika at googlegroups.com Date: Monday, June 22, 2009, 8:17 AM I do not necessarily believe that the families of the President, PM, Ministers do not deserve jobs, particularly Raila's family. These people could not get jobs or were frustrated in their jobs during Kenyattas, Mois and even Kibaki's regimes because they were an Odinga. Now that Raila is PM, they cant get jobs because they belong to this family! When will they ever be fairly employed!! We are starting here a situation where we will be up against our leadership for ever and for every small thing. I really doubt it is fair to expect that Raila's sister or brother will perpetually be dependent on him for everything simply because the system can not directly absorb them - REASON you are Raila's sister. Get off it ladies and gentlemen. I agree that equity in Kenya's distribution of the cake has been wanting and great need to re think it with a view to correction. BUT, I doubt it can be corrected by these cheap discrimination - denying qualified people opportunities because they belong to certain families.

Oburu has a PhD in economics and is therefore qualified as an individual. Politically, he is not qualified.

You and I come a distant third after their girlfriends. Try to think the amount of salary going into the PMs kins from Oburu to now Akinyi. He has always let me down on this particular area. I have always felt that Oburu never deserved the assistant minister of finance, but this is politics and you need your kins deep inside to have info and survive.

Message-ID: <574098.65157.qm@web51910.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Folks, ? To be able to save victims, witnesses and other valuable lives from further perishing and to be able to move forward hoping for a better improved future in Kenya, Hague is the answer. ? Kenya has in the past been treated to twists and turns with conditions deteroriating day by day, and from experience so that a repeat of election crime, corruption and impunity be under control, those accused must face the Hague.? They are too powerful to be tried by the Local Tribunal.? They will silence everyone and they command?authority in the Judiciary, that no one will put a finger on them. ? To save Kenya, there is no other way or short cut but to face Hague. We have seen enough drama by these Mafia cartels in Kenya that enough is enough.? Giving them too much time is spoiling for Kenya and Kenyans.? There is no Institution of Law and Order in Kenya.? The Coalition Government is dysfunctional, people are being killed like chicken and the chapter is closed and shelved, that the end of the matter.? People are dying from hunger, cover-ups is toll order and there is completely no trust can be expected from the current crop of leadership.? The government is run like a household business matter.? For how long will Kenyans continue to suffer when the world is just watching?? We have witness too much arrogancy which dectates these leaders are not ready for reform unless firm?pressure from all over the world is put in place without compromising.? The Reform Accord Agreement is a done deal. ? Kofi Annan should do what is right and mostly humaine by releasing the matter as early as possible to Hague.? Kenya will never change for better without the prescription of the Reform Accord followed to the hilt.? Let us be serious and consider those who have lost their lives?or dear ones, consider how people planned at the?State House and bought crude weapons and organized thugs to slaughter innocent human being so to retain power?under the breath of these powerful Mafia Group. For Kenya to move forward, we do not need Mafia Grouping taking control of the Government. We are coming closer to helping Kenya, let us seal this case once and for all by going the Hague route. If this is not taken soon enough as was signed in the Reform Accord Agreement, Kenya will be worse than Rwanda or Somali and it will never be the same again.? Already Kenya is surrounded by Extreme Fundamentalists who have Agents in Kenya together with Al-Queda operatives with Museveni looking for opportunity to attack and invade Kenya, a lot will be at stake. ? I appeal to UN and the World Leaders to intervene in a special way to encourage Kofi Annan to proceed with the Hague. ? Sincerely, ?

Root for local tribunal, Orengo tells Kenyans By George Olwenya and Beauttah Omanga Kenyans should pressurise the Government to try perpetrators of post-election mayhem before a local tribunal, Lands Minister James Orengo has said. The minister said The Hague should only intervene and indict the suspects if the international court felt that there was a cover-up.
