DCI recover 770 Million in cash at bed of top politicians PA

Sleuth from the DCI office mounted a sting operation at the home of a personal assistant of a top Jubilee politician and found loads of money in both local and foreign currency that totaled Kshs.770Million. The amounts are suspected to be proceeds of corruption.
Well, before the sting operation, President Uhuru was reported to have received a confidential report that was prepared by NIS and in it it had detailed the source of funds held by the politicians and that it was largely kept by the aide. The report was elaborate with revelations that the house of the aide has a bunker that is full of money
Upon going through the report, the president is said to have ordered for a sting operation and when the findings were given to him the president is alleged to have banged tables and promised to give further orders after his tour of USA and China. The president was mad that the people he trusted with running the government were core in perpetuating corruption.
“President Kenyatta is disappointed and feels betrayed by his close lieutenants, senior people are implicated in the dossier,” a source privy to the dossier’s details told the Sunday Standard.
On Friday, two separate meetings were held between the President and top security bosses at State House and Harambee House where issues relating to the anti-graft purge were thrashed. Later that night, the President left the country for US.
Through his pronouncements and those of his allies, the President appears keen to brand the war on corruption one of his defining legacies alongside Building Bridges Initiative and the Big 4 Agenda of Manufacturing, Food Security, Universal Health Care and Affordable Housing.
A number of Cabinet Secretaries have been implicated in corruption cases or have failed to tame graft under their dockets. It is understood that the president was astounded by the intelligence on the veracity of the graft cases touching on those close to him. A fortnight ago, President Kenyatta set the tone for a ruthless purge when he retreated to the Coast, shook off friends and allowed the wheel of justice grind victims. When he came back, buildings which had stood on riparian lands for ages tumbled down.Sleuths from the DCI office mounted a sting operation at the home of a personal assistant of a top Jubilee politician and found loads of money in both local and foreign currency that totaled Kshs.770Million.

5 reasons Why Gideon Moi will never be kenyan president

Gideon Moi has been the talk of town in recent few weeks after it emerged that he is going to challenge deputy president William Ruto for presidency come 2022.

Gideon moi has emerged as the only serious challenger for Ruto after it has emerged Raila odinga will never Run for president.

Here are the main reasons .

1. The moi family issue.
Most Kenyans don't believe in rotations of presidency, the fact that Gideon moi is former president sons clearly will not go down with most Kenyans.Kenya is not an monarchy state and Kenyans will clearly vote out Gideon moi.

2.He is not popular in rift valley
Gideon moi is not popular in east Africa,/He is only a little bit popular in kalenjin subtribe of Tugen which does not have enough numbers.
He even nearly lost his Senate seat where he won with 47% with his main Challenger getting over 40% also.

3. Ruto factor
Ruto is the professor of politics in the country. He is very clever and Gideon moi cannot march him politically. it will take a miracle to defeat Ruto in 2022.

4. Political star.
Gideon Moi political star is not great as compared to other seasoned politicians.
Gideon Moi will find it very hard to convince other political players like mudavadi,kalonzo or even Alfred mutual to deputize them. All of them have a greater political star and influence than Gideon.

5. Development
Apart from being a son of former president, Gideon moi is not known for any development activity in the country.
In fact he is known for nothing except for Being Presidents son.
On the other hand Ruto is doing great in terms of development.

Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has left the country again amid speculations of his whereabouts in the recent past.
Joho travelled to Spain to seek funding for a desalination plant in Mombasa.
He initiated the process to build the plant in Mombasa and has promised residents that water shortage will be a thing of past.

Kalonzo musyoka to make major announcement after all nasa principals abandon him

Kalonzo musyoka is set to make major announcement on Monday after all major NASA principals abandon him.
Kalonzo musyoka will join other leaders  from ukambani region to chater the next move for wiper after latest political development.
Raila Odinga crossed over to jubilee early last month and now wetangula and mudavadi are planning to form a major western region party in order to give the region a bargaining power come next general election.

Speaking yesterday, Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior, however, blamed the four NASA principals for the tension that is threatening to dismantle Kenya’s biggest coalition.
He also blamed Mudavadi and Wetangula for threatening to kill NASA and form one party ahead of 2022.
“The problem with the whole NASA saga, be it its registration as a party, the strengthening of affiliate parties or the viability of the coalition as an entity, just points to a communication breakdown at the summit level,” Kilonzo said.
Wiper is scheduled to hold a meeting on Monday to find a way forward for their leader, Kalonzo Musyoka.

I will return today or tommorow Miguna Miguna Issues full statement from Dubai

Here is Miguna Miguna full statement from Dubai where he is being held.
NRM’s General Miguna Miguna’s Statement from Dubai International Airport, March 29, 2018
I am at the passenger waiting area at the Dubai International Airport. I have gone through basic tests which have confirmed that I was forcefully placed aboard EK722 Emirates Airline flight from Nairobi to Dubai that arrived this morning.
About 50 heavily armed thugs led by the uniformed Somali policeman who had commanded them on Monday, violently broke into the toilet I had been detained incommunicado in at the Jomo Kenyatta Airport, didn’t identify themselves, wrestled me to the ground, held onto and sat on me as a group of four different thugs injected substances to both my soles, arms, hands, both sides of my ribs and basically all over my body until I passed out.
Today, at around 5:25am, after the Emirates had landed and passengers were disembarking, I regained consciousness and asked a person seated next to me who also appeared like a flying squad officer, “where are we?” He told me that we were in Dubai.
Three burley men dressed in Air Emirates yellow reflector jackets approached me and rudely demanded that I disembark from the plane. The most obnoxious one introduced himself as “Njihia”, he claimed that a bunch of loose papers he held in his hands were my “documents.”
I explained to him that I wouldn’t go anywhere with him; that he didn’t have my valid Kenyan passport and that he is a criminal who had not only abducted, drugged and forcefully removed me from Kenya against my will and in violation of numerous court orders.
I told the Air Emirates crew that flying an unconscious and drugged man like me from Kenya to Dubai without any documents was a criminal act.
Despite their desperate attempts to force me to the police station and/immigration department at Dubai, I refused and demanded to see a medical doctor.
After much wrangling, I was granted access to a doctor who conducted basic medical tests and confirmed my story. Additional toxicology tests would require exiting the airport, which I can only do with my valid Kenyan passport - a document the despots illegality confiscated and destroyed in violation of Justice Kimaru’s order.
I have severe pain on the left side of my chest, my left wrist, my right elbow and my feet. I believe that the despots must have injected me with noxious substances.
Anyway, I have made it crystal clear to the United Arab Emirates immigration authorities that I cannot and will not fly anywhere with them except to Kenya.
I have refused to leave the international section of the airport.
I will and must return to Kenya as a Kenyan citizen by birth as various courts have ordered.
The Honourable Justice Odunga issued an order on March 28th that convicted Matiang’i, Kihalangwa and Boinett among others of criminal contempt and ordered that they appear before that court for sentencing today at 10:00am. Justice Odunga also ordered that I be released unconditionally and to attend court today at 10:00am.
I had planned to give a victim impact statement during Matiang’i’s, Kihalangwa’s and Boinett’s sentencing by Justice Odunga. I hope that I will be given a chance to do so soonest.
I am innocent man. My only crimes are that I swore Raila Odinga in as The People’s President on January 30, 2018; I head the National Revolutionary Movement (NRM) in order to bring electoral justice, end bad governance and accountability in governance and we are determined to remove the despots from their illegitimate positions of power!
As I return to Kenya either today or tomorrow, I strongly encourage all patriotic Kenyans to remain firm, focused and fearless in the face of an outlaw, authoritarian and illegitimate regime of Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto.
The despots must fall.
No retreat! No surrender!
Forward ever!
NRM General, Miguna Miguna
Dubai International Airport
March 29, 2018.

How Miguna Miguna prevented his deportation, He will remain undocumented immigrant in kenya.

Miguna silently handed over his Canadian passport to a certain gentleman, who proceeded to exit JKIA unnoticed. Miguna only remained with his ID in possession. He knew what will follow next.
First, all international flights can't allow a passenger to board without a proper traveling document - Passport and a visa (countries requiring one like Dubai where he was to be deported).
Secondly, it's against the travel rules for any plane to have on board a passenger who is not willing to fly. The plane must offload the passenger.
Basing on those facts, there was no way Emirates would allow Miguna on board. Since the passenger (Miguna) had no passport nor was willing to travel.
Miguna beat immigration officials at their own game. Miguna is still at JKIA.
He will remain in JKIA even for a longer time unless he produces his canadian passport which he does not have.
Miguna Miguna will not fly outside Kenya without proper travel documents and will not enter into the country without his Canadian passport.

Breaking: Senator wetangula removed as senate minority leader

Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has been removed as Senate minority leader following a meeting by ODM senators.
Wetangula survived an ouster motion last week after Speaker Ken Lusaka temporarily suspended the action, ruling that he needed official communication from the NASA coalition’s chief executive officer.
Reports indicate that leaders allied to Ford Kenya are currently holed up in a meeting to deliberate on the way forward.
The Ford Kenya leader is set to be replaced by Siaya Senator James Orengo who will be deputised by Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala.
On Friday, NASA leader Raila Odinga on Friday distanced himself from the Wetangula's removal, downplaying it as in-house wrangles.
Addressing a crowd at Oyugis Town in Homa Bay County, he stated that it was purely a Senate affair adding that he had nothing to do with the plans to oust the NASA co-prinipal.
"In a house with many wives, jealousy is inevitable. For instance, what happened to Wetangula in Senate is a very small thing," he stated, with reference to Wetangula's attempted removal last week.

If you were not in Uhuru park for swearing forget about meeting Uhuru Orengo now claims

National Super Alliance (NASA) Chief leader Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has warned three co-principals to forget about talks with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Millie Odhiambo powerful message to Kalonzo that will melt your heart

August 1982. Raila Odinga has been tortured for four days non stop. He is oscillating between conscious and unconscious. His head is swollen and bleeding. He can't see properly and can't stand on his swollen feet. He is at the GSU headquarters. He is also very hungry, having not eaten for days. Police Commissioner Ben Gethi walks in with a hot, succulent roasted goat leg, accompanied by four other cops. Gethi is as drunk as his mother, and is chewing on the goat leg, as he asks his cops to beat Raila some more. They land on him with broken furniture and beat him down to unconsciousness.
Your father was not there, yet you think Raila has betrayed you!
Manyani Prison, God knows which year. Mosquitoes descend on Raila, the light in the cell doesn't go off and attracts even more insects. Daytime temperatures reach 40s, night time temperatures are as low as Murkomen's IQ. Raila writes to the authorities saying he doesn't want to be at Manyani. A doctor comes to check him and finds he is doing badly. The doctor prescribes the wrong medicine. Raila almost dies. By the time another doctor comes, his limbs are just about due for amputation. He survives narrowly.
Your father was not there, yet you think Raila has betrayed you.
Kamiti Maximum Prison, God knows which fucking year. Deputy Police Commissioner Phillip Kilonzo and the Commissioner of prison visit Raila, who hasn't eaten for two weeks. They tell him they will force-feed him with a pipe! He looks them in the eye and tells them they are small men with a small mentality and they can go screw a mango! They are shocked beyond words. They walk out without another word.
Your father was not there, yet you think Raila has betrayed you.
1988. Mama Ida Odinga has long been fired from her job as a teacher. The police keep surrounding her home. She gets home one day to find her maid and infant have been arrested. She traces both to a police cell. She has had to live with police harassment and humiliation every day since her husband was arrested. She has no friends left. Her children cannot play with other children. The stigma is real.
Your mother was not there, yet you think Raila has betrayed you.
1989. Raila is escaping through Lake Lolwe, disguised as a Legio Maria Priest. A Kenya Army platoon led by Major Diffu has him on the crosshairs, ready to blow the boat and Raila up. Somehow, the order does not come to execute, so he survives, barely.
Your father was not there, yet you think Raila has betrayed you.
When Raila was first arrested at the house of Oki Ooko Ombaka, he was taken alone. When he was beaten and tortured and humiliated, he was alone. From Naivasha, Hola, Shimo La Tewa, Kamiti, Manyani, he was alone. He gave his life for this. We have made strides. We have found our voices. Because he stood up when your entire clans chose cowardice. There is no contract you have with Raila that he must die for you. There is no law stipulating that a 73 year old man will give his life for you 30 year old able bodied clowns! And Raila has not stopped you forming your party and taking us to that Canaan of yours!
Please give us a break.

By Collins Ajuok
