“Easther Arunga was forcefully aborted by Dr. Frank Njenga”
“Who knows how Esther Arunga was forcefully aborted and robbed of a baby at the hands of Dr Frank Njenga, Dr Arunga and orders from PM Odinga?” leaked section of the book declares Miguna is now threatening to break the news how a former TV anchor Esther Arunga was abused, humiliated, molested and sedated at the hands of PM Odinga, her dad Dr Arunga, Dr Frank Njenga of Bustani Medical Centre (37 Muthangari Road) and the CID’s hired goons. And we at the The Daily Telegraph can still remember how the year 2010 exploded in Kenya with human rights abuses which the Timberlake family faced. It was horror and terror from a government meant to protect. We shall pursue this as it thickens.
Dr Njenga is now at the helm of NACADA as it’s boss. An advocate company is threatening to sue after gathering all evidences on how Esther Arunga was tortured by Dr Frank Njenga. Esther was tortured under the watch of her dad Dr Arunga, Dr Njenga, CID officer Mr Lumosi and PM Raila who ordered all this. Reports reaching us are that Dr Njenga was ordered to forcefully “delete” the baby from Esther’s womb. Reasons being the baby was a seed from an “unestablished conman from the poor backyard.” The advocate company has handed over the video footage to a trusted CID officers. It painfully shows how Esther went through the forceful abortion while under sedation. the clip further shows how Esther screamed painfully while the baby was being pulled out by force to teach her a lesson. Sinclair, their current baby is their second born who ha since taken over as first born. The lawyers also have in custody numerous signatures signed by Esther’s dad Dr Arunga and other relatives ensuring that she was indeed taught a lesson.
The book also praises K24′s media guru Jeff Koinange for his fruitful effots to save Esther by calling several points of interests to rescue. It is indeed Jeff Koinange who led trusted companies to where Esther was being tortured by simply calling. Without Koinange’s help, Esther could have died. “Dr Njenga must face full arms of the law and be the best lesson to others who do the same,” explains Miguna. Canadian Kenyan internationally acclaimed solicitor Miguna Miguna is a renowned lawyer for human rights, anti-corruption and equality. He’s the immediate former Kenya’s Prime Minister in-charge of Coalition Affairs.
Having parted ways on allegations of corruption at the PM’s office, Miguna Miguna now threatens to write a books containing content readers may find disturbing. The Daily Telegraph advises viewer discretion. It seems he’s in the war to stay until personal differences are toned down.
Leaked sections of his books are roaming in the British press. The book claims that in 2010 the INTERPOL in Nairobi denied received any reports that Timberlake stole US$70m from a French bank in Paris. “We did not and does not intend to receive such a malicious accusation because we’ve never received a theft case of that amount by an individual,” said a by then senior CID officer who was attached to Interpol in Nairobi. The then director of serious crimes unit (CID HQs) told court in February 2010 that he had a dossier showing that Interpol once had Timberlake on a list of people they wanted over $70m theft charges. INTERPOL warned of serious consequences against politicians who were aimlessly exuggerating reports attaching them to it for their own gains. INTERPOL cleared Timberlake of any charges since his fingerprints and bio-data could not be found on criminals list wanted for theft.
“Why?? Because of voodooism. Reason? Our prominent sons and daughters are being sat on by PM Raila, and no one speaketh. Siaya is completely gone and owned by Raila and the people of Siaya have had their land stolen from them. Luo’s Mollasses, the public sponsored and financed by the Greater Luo Nyanza, Muhoroni Sugar shut down intentionally to terminate Luos’ wealth is suddenly under PM Raila’s ownership. Luo thrift projects at Kisumu and Tom Mboya Hall are run and controlled by the Odinga network. Luo land and wealth has been illegally and unconstitutionally acquired by Raila’s special interest cartels network including Migingo, Osienala e.t.c. Migingo island game was a typical “theatre” performed by Raila himself by involving someone who’s publicly known as his enemy to confuse Kenyans. After all the theatrical dramas, Migingo has since secretly fallen under Raila’s footrest. Makalda mine and other natural resources in the whole of Nyanza has been sold illegally to unscrupulous business mechants from South Africa, Canada, Nigeria and the US. Now another illegal allocation of government shares has just taken place at East African Portland Cement, how can such an enormous cement empire be sold without government’s knowledge? Remember, Raila runs the Industrialization docket under Minister Amason Kingi,” diaspora spokesperson explained.
Leaked parts of the notorious author’s book claims that the special interest cartels who look for “free business enterprising” without going by the Reform Agenda Constitutional Policy to regulate and control the business empire. Reasons being mutual business undertaking should benefit all stakeholders in a balanced shares contractual agreement without discrimination or being corrupted or stolen from in anyway. Dominion farm is polluting the environment. Siaya people have complained of food poisoning which includes toxic substances in their agricultural produce dangerous for consumption.
It goes on stating reasons why Raila will not put pressure on Dr Robert Ouko killers to face justice against one of his major 2007 election pleas. They’ve become “birds of the same feather”. It goes on explaining how Raila has taken Luos for granted. “We’re not foolish,” explains Miguna. According to him, Luos are animals of burden and meant to be slaughtered at his will. “Luos are worthy being driven to concentration camps. If Raila claims to be a people’s fighter, why are his friends outside Kenya questionable? Look closely at his friendship with the late Gaddafi,” the leaked parts of the book explains.
Issues at stake include the recent placement in the government’s plum jobs, appointment of diplomats and lack of foresight in efforts to revive the stalled economic outlets, such as Kicomi Ltd, Kenya Breweries Kisumu plant , proper management of the lucrative sugar industry and tea farms. Pro-Raila group wants all the Luos to be kept in one huge basket for his own political mileage and control. But the proponents of the idea felt that the splitting of the Nyanza Province into counties would be beneficial to the region because it will attract more government funding. But the Luo intellectuals and professionals have now revisited the idea once again and are deciding to throw their weight behind Quincy Timberlake of the African Democratic Congress Party.
The group believes there is leadership vacuum in Nyanza and that there is the need for the region’s residents to build several new centre of power to gravitate in Gusii and greater Southern Nyanza regions.
Otieno Kajwang, is being dismissed as being too childish and not a serious person worth trusting with the responsibility of leading the Luo to higher heights of development. At the same time State Police Assistant Minister Orwa Ojode is seen as an achiever and a dynamic politician who has successfully developed his hitherto backyard of Ndhiwa constituency to a new hub of massive economic development.
Kajwang’s scathing attacks are growing over why he intentionally injured Quincy Timberlake’s nationality by nailing him in detention knowing very well he was a fellow Luo. All these are Raila’s hat tricks to discourage the young and mighty from rising up politically in the Nyanza region.
The Prime Minister is reported as having recently released ten tractors, which were donated by the UNDP to the Nyanza Province for the purpose of improving agricultural activities in the region. Raila released the tractors to Bondo his home turf and ignored other agriculturally rich regions where the tractors could be put to a better use of improving food production in the region.
A number of ODM MPs from Luo-Nyanza are said to be secretly backing the separation plan to free the Luos from the Southern region from those of Bondo and Siaya.
While the Prime Minister Odinga is being credited for having taken bold steps to ensure that illegal squatters were evicted from the controversial Mau Forest Complex in the South Rift, he is at the same time being accused of having failed to initiate any meaningful dialogue for the resuscitation of the ailing sugar industry in Nyanza and the improvement of the fishing industry in Lake Victoria. Raila has then allowed the fish cannery be built outside Nyanza at a political game shifts.
According to Miguna’s book, anti-Raila elements in Nyanza are accusing the Prime Minister for lack of total commitment in the real task of poverty eradication. Instead, the PM is said to be busy engaged in promoting politics of hero worshipping and sycophancy.
The professionals in Luo Nyanza are also said to be routing for the communal harmonization between the Luos as and the neighboring communities irrespective of the political party of affiliation, at the same time blaming the current crop of MP from the region for promoting politics of hatred..They’re pushing a former tortured freedom fighter Timberlake to engage in talks with Ruto and the Kalenjins for unity and ignore Raila in this deal for the better neighborhood future. Circumcision, the book argues, should not be the community’s priority. There are other priorities which Raila should tackle with his Luo parliamentary colleagues. Dr Oburu Oginga and his younger brother must stop the bad habit of rushing to the press on every single issue in this country. They must learn to be cohesive and tolerant because such uncoordinated comments on contentious issue affected a colleague in arm must be avoided at all cost. We were able to establish the names of the professional and politicians said to be behind the latest move to isolate Raila Odinga from the Southern Nyanza Luos but couldn’t air them not to injure Miguna’s upcoming explosive books, though it is true that several meetings have taken place in both Nyanza and Nairobi. The group has scathingly criticized Raila for having distributed government plum jobs to his kith and kin from Bondo and Siaya counties in the East African big economy. It was, perhaps, after flooring the moneyed and experienced Raila that Timberlake’s political character began to form. And it took the shape of an ambitious, domineering party hawk; a ruthless operator and a die-hard defender of his beliefs. Raila meanwhile is doing all he can to block all Timberlake’s initiated projects like water, jigger, school fees, semi permanent homes and murram road projects in South Nyanza.
It is the reason why his under-table deals with Museveni, Kibaki and Moi, are reasons why we’re forcibly evicted and our being driven out of our community villages, from our homes and out of our homes to be homeless. It is the reason why Prof Wajackoya was given a soft landing and security protection in a foreign land after the demise of Dr Robert Ouko. This all amounts to violation, crime and abuse against humanity.
The book further explains that after Siaya, Raila foot soldiers, inclusively are aiding him in the unscrupulousness. Such must be watched very carefully and the greater Nyanza must wake up before we are all finished. The late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga atleast had some empathy on Luos. But Raila!!! Take a look at how Raila masterminded the “Luo Cut” in the darkness. This is completely illegal and is a serious crime. “Where did you ever see people performing surgery on human bodies at night?” Miguna asks. “Check Quincy Timberlake’s body and you’ll be awed at the marks of forceful surgery performance by the Raila’s elite forces after the Kenyan CIDs handed him over to them. One Kenyan American Judy Miriga confirms she was there when all this took place after she was alerted on phone by a very confidant within the CIDs HQs.
“Take a look at how he planned to finish Esther and Quincy Timberlake through false accusations and searching for all means to ensure that Timberlake remained in detention for long She asks. The book further explodes more “dark” questions on Timberlake’s |Darkness Period.”Who knows that Timberlake was fed his own feaces in detention? Who knows that Timberlake was taken to CID HQs investigation room only to meet Arungas as his investigators?” The book further asks curiously. It further states that the Director of Serious Crimes Unit at CID HQs Henry Ndombi should be quizzed over the matter. Truely, Kenyans have a right to demand to know when Dr Robert Arunga and his extended clan were recruited into the Police Force to quiz suspects at Mazingira House. Denver Post have the CCTV recordings showing footages how Arunga’s family publicly assaulted Timberlake at Kileleshwa police station infront of Police Officers in plain daylight. Especially Esther’s brother Paul Arunga who numerously assaulted Timberlake inside a green Mercedes Benz plated KAT ****. “Kenyans, did you know how Mbaruk’s accident was organised by Timberlake’s assailants? Who knows how Kilimani CIDs were ordered to sneak a 100 g of cocaine into Timberlake’s suitcase? But a very empathetic CID officer realized Timberlake was innocent and later removed the polythene.
Who knows how Timberlake’s tea was poisoned in detention and instead was wrongly fed to a Mbo-i-Kamiti official who was by then in jail?” Miguna asks in the book. There are several footages captured by “saved” CID officers showing how Timberlake was electrocuted severally and forced to swear not to marry Esther and also forced to confess that he stole US$70m. “Who knows how Timberlake was threatened with the words “unajua tunapotezanga watu kama nyinyi huko Karura?” asks the book.
Now Timberlake is exposed to ODM’s political frustration and mental torture at the pleasure of some selfish Kenyans. Shame on you! Why don’t you have Timberlake’s corpse on your dinner tables then?? A media personality has admitted to us how Raila compromises them to write anything he wants to be read by Kenyans. This book is also talking about how Raila compromises Opinion Pollsters to show him winning all the time. He went on to tell us that Raila ensured that Kenyan media totally blacked-out Timberlake and his wife. An audio showing a footage showing how Raila’s foot soldiers are discussing how to completely eliminate Timberlake is also within our reach. Who knows how Timberlake’s Syokimau home was demolished deep inside Mavoko county? Anything online that fights for Timberlake’s life is met by a full force and blocked. MMiriga confirms, “OMG! Timberlake has lots of friends in the diaspora. We must thank VP Kalonzo for ensuring that he’ll dispatch security team to protect the Timberlakes. I am Judy Miriga exploding Raila and do not avert the reality for the sake of your PM by crucifying Timberlake for no good reason. ODM has sent several hitmen to try and kill me here in the US but invain. Am very protected and they won’t touch my skin. I paid for Timberlake’s varsity’s fees in the Washington State; I temporarily housed him when he arrived in the US illegally and had nowhere to go to. Raila started sending his ruthless sergeants to finish Timberlake long time before hr was well-known publicly. This is because he also stole their land in South Nyanza and he Timberlake tried to block all the avenues. We’re currently paying for Timberlake’s party website for elections 2013 and it should be ready any moment from now. He shall be well oiled financially for elections. Their enmity is not of today!!! Kenyans must know this,” she tell the Denver Post.
“PM Raila teamed up with his cronies and mised Kenyans that Timberlake wasn’t a Luo by tribe. But while Timberlake was in my house, he could utter some deep words in Luo until I could get confused, am a witness. They claimed Timberlake was not a Luo so that they could seek illegal ways under the table away from the public limelight to deport him. Lord help us almost all countries rejected that plea and Timberlake could not be exported in to “extinction”. Immigration Minister Kajwang’ was also in the picture when he refused to accept that Timberlake was a real Luo who happened to have gone to school with his younger brother. While Timberlake tried to speak in Luo with him. Kajwang’ adamantly refused to respond back but in English to justify their evil wants infront of media that indeed he wasn’t a Luo,” she told our reporters.
“They all in collision schemed and planned a conspiracy to have Esther married in their “clan hood” Nabongo Mumia through threats and pretence. This is where one Wilson Malaba arrived into the picture and Esther discovered all the ill plans. She discovered that all along he was parents’ friend. Malaba, who adds up as Paul’s friend was he himself involved in this stenchy deal. Shame, shame and shame. This cruelty and crimes against humanity and must not be accepted. God is in control people. God was faithful and carried Esther and Quincy through. Raila’s voodoo, the Nigerian “juju” , or whatever he used to blind the Luos-the yoke of the evil one has been broken and destroyed. I can sure you people, Miguna’s book 2 books are explosive and ensure you buy them to discover what’s happening within Raila’s “Mafia-World” and his impunist designs of foot stepping on Luos trying to raise their heads,” she adds.
The book goes on saying: Miguna Miguna, Quincy Timberlake and Esther proved to us one thing. One can slightly damage dignity, but big time save their lives, since speaking the truth is Godly and therefore the truth is, it saved their lives .
Today we are proud, we can still have Miguna Miguna, Quincy and Esther in the land of the living because they spoke out and protected their skin. No one is perfect, we all make mistakes and there is room to start all over and with determination, we shall overcome all these hurdles………
Miriga proclaims in Luo, “Sembe rombo ipimo gi nyawadgi”..God so good we are still alive. Miguna Miguna, Quincy Timberlake and Esther Arunga’s situation falls in the same category. If Miguna Miguna succumbed to his gentleman style of Luos protocol in protecting his dignity, today Miguna Miguna would be no more. He would be a carcass……We would have attended his funeral and he could be history like those who have passed on. If Quincy Timberland and Esther did not struggle to stand by the truth, they too would have gone in the silence of assassination, and they would be history by now, because these crooks believes Luos forget too quickly……..Miguna’s book shall explore the rest!” she says.
Raila has no heartily love for Luos. God has condemned and he has set us free at last. There’s no way Raila will rule Kenya in 2013. My fellow Luos, let’s wake up from this man’s strong voodoo. Yes, like Museveni who do not belong to Ugandans, Raila does not belong to Luos but Nabongo Mumias.
“We have only one question against Raila. Is he guilty of corruption,political assassinations and impunity or not? Your guess is as good as mine. It is only the Truth when laid bare that shall ashame the Devil and set us as free people,” she concludes.
About the Author
If this is a foretaste of Miguna’s explosive book, then I am disappointed. It’s cheap propaganda, especially on the alleged torture of Esther Arunga and Timberlake. If such had really happened, they would have gone to any EU embassy in Nairobi for protection and sought independent investigations from the Interpol or Scotland Yard. The couple could not have been in a sober state of mind to give public interviews as they did, after Esther’s delivery of their baby. I hope Miguna has sufficient evidence against the allegations; otherwise he will be up to his neck defending libel suits.
ESTHER TIMBERLAKE BACK ON TV
Posted on January 7, 2012 by judymiriga
When Janet Mbugua went on air to read news on 800,000 shillings-a-month-pay on Citizen TV, Kenyans thought that was the end of pyramid earnings. And somehow, they reached a conclusion that she could remain the highest paid TV anchor ever in Kenya. They were wrong!
Now rumors are fire spreading on Kenyan streets that former TV news queen could be coming back to a local TV station with a bang. She is soon to go air on Ksh 930,000 a month.
News that Esther Timberlake (nee Arunga) is joining a local TV station on Ksh 930,000 shillings a month is to shine spotlight on how media owners in Kenya are willing to go to win/retain viewers and advertisers. This is to raise queries whether media houses are ignoring the go-slow seeking better pay staff and hook media legends or just a commercial bait meant to create stiff competition against the well oiled international giant houses raiding the country.
If confirmed, she will replace Kenya’s highest paid TV newsreader Janet Mbugua.
Before she left media duties due to court attendances in 2010, she worked with KTN and Capitol FM stations. Esther, together with Citizen TV’s Lilian Muli-Kanene (on a 255,000 shillings salary), used to be quite popular news girls on Kenyan TV in 2008/2009.
She has studied in Kenya and Australia. She’s a BA degree holder in Communication and Bachelor of Law from Wollongong University in Australia. She’s currently pursuing an online Masters Degree in Law studies at Wollongong University. Esther Arunga’s name was officially changed to Esther Timberlake when she got married to a businessman cum politician Quincy Timberlake and they’ve been blessed with a handsome son, Sinclair.
Esther could be running for a political office next year. It is not yet established whether she could be campaigning as a Senator or a MP.
Meanwhile, CNN has noted that Piers Morgan Tonight will be hosting Esther and Quincy Timberlake this year.
Meanwhile, the Constitutional court is seeking a resolution to the Timberlakes’ crisis yesterday urged the officials behind freezing their accounts to release the assets frozen during the 2010 saga. The total of $ 1.84m was frozen under the belief that it was illegal for a public figure running for a political office to receive money as a gift from international donors. “We have decided to start a process to unfreeze the frozen Timberlake’s assets in an expedited manner,” a Kenyan official declared.
Timberlake is a known businessman with the unknown western jewel stones dealers who operate undercover. Deeper investigations further reveal that he is indeed connected to lots of business deals between African sellers and the jewel hungry western dealers. But Timberlake confirms it was shut down on orders of the governor of CBK and the Director of Serious Crimes Unit in 2010. It was quoted that he acquired $70m through theft at CID headquarters in Kenya by then. These allegations were found untrue when the Interpol were contacted and rejected the claims.
CBK has disputed that it instructed BFID officers to carry out investigations and close those accounts using Kenya as a safe heaven to hide their “gift” money and were suspected of flouting banking laws. It also told the judge that the officers who allegedly raided Timberlake’s offices based at Lonrho House under an anonymous name by then were police officers answerable to the Commissioner of Police. Court ordered that a structure of CBK management hierarchy be filed in court to establish whether BFID is one of the departments.
The plaintiff told the judge that they were discriminated against, since no other public figure namely the politicians’ accounts was closed down during the account closure. Several politicians including the Prime Minister are known to be harboring accounts with money sent as gifts from abroad, why only us??
Quincy Timberlake is, therefore, asking the court to declare that the closure of his account was selective, illegal, unjustified and amounted to trespass. He also says his rights to trade were infringed on.
Miguna alleges conspiracy to kill him
By Peter Mutai and Beauttah Omanga
Roads minister Franklin Bett and Energy Assistant Minister Magerer Langat have recorded statements with the police over claims by Miguna Miguna that they were plotting to have him killed.
Mr Bett recorded his a Justus Burudi.
Bett, who was accompanied by his wife Alice, a Kericho-based lawyer, rubbished claims by the former adviser to Prime Minister Raila Odinga saying he haboured no grudge against Miguna to want to plot his elimination.
On Monday, Miguna declined to discuss the matter further saying he had already informed the police and he was standing by the text message.
Bett said he was shocked to learn about the alleged plot through a reporter of a local media house (not The Standard) who called him to get his comments on the matter after getting a short text message from Miguna.
Shocked
“I was in my Buret constituency attending a church service at Roret Catholic Church and I had switched off my mobile phone. But immediately after the service, I switched on my phone and I was shocked to see the SMS message,” Bett said.
The minister said he called the media house to inquire about the text message and the source of the message, which the reporter (name withheld) had forwarded to him.
The minister narrated how he tried to call Miguna on his personal cell phone after the reporter told him that he was behind the message. Miguna, however, declined to pick his call.
The SMS read in part: “I’ve just been credibly informed of an ODM strategy meeting in Eldoret on Monday Sat Jan 14th from 5-9:15 pm, chaired by a minister discussed and resolved that “Miguna should be murdered.”
The message further claimed that representatives of Bett and Langat, a Mr Kemboy, a Ms Lemusha and a prominent Eldoret physician, attended the purported meeting.
It continued: “But before that, a systematic scheme to malign and slander him in the media claiming that he suffers from personality disorder should be unleashed. One of the participants, whose conscience refused to go along with the scheme has disclosed the information to me.”
Legal action
The SMS further said: “He (his informer) is very worried about my security and safety. I am, too. I appeal to the Government to take these seriously and take steps to protect me. Miguna Miguna.”
Bett said Miguna’s intention was to malign him and his colleagues because they belong to ODM. The minister said he had instructed his lawyers to take legal action against Miguna and called on the police to speedily investigate the matter.
Bett also said that together with his colleague, they would raise the matter with the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, adding that he would not leave Miguna to go scot-free over the issue.
“Let Miguna sort out his issues with his former boss as I was not competing with him for the post of adviser to the PM. He cannot continue issuing threats and (even) the other day he was threatening to release a dossier on the PM,” he said.
Langat was due to record a statement of complaint against Miguna with the Rift Valley PCIO with a view of demanding that action be taken against Miguna.
This Miguna story is bizarre,quite unconvincing and by the way what does he want in this altercation. These things do not make sense at all,quite weird.
Could someone post sensible writeup? This is rubbish!!!!!!!!!1
With all honesty, I admired the way Miguna talked with JK on The bench(K24) , but if the foregoing is what is in his book, I doubt his sincerity in all matters! Please, it makes good sense to outrun your competitors without tripping them over!
The man to beat in Kenya next President is Raila A Oginga! Others are Baal and Wichcraft Worshippers. Raila Oginga Tawala Tawala .You are the King give them a knock-out, and slay the dragon once and for all.
She has studied in Kenya and Australia. She’s a BA degree holder in Communication and Bachelor of Law from Wollongong University in Australia. She’s currently pursuing an online Masters Degree in Law studies at Wollongong University.
Many of us supported Miguna’s woes in the hands of Raila’s terrorist chief of staff Caroli Omondi. However, the ‘serialization’ of his book on CNN’s iReport is a pile of dung. The English grammar is below par, facts twisted and the many claimed issues sound like a D-rated Nollywood gangster movie. Miguna should stop the iReport garbage if he wants to retain his integrity.
It’s an election year and all propaganda vuvuzelas are set blaring with scandals and name tarnishing. These are PNU footprints tramping upon Raila all over. Hey, the same propagandists claim that Esther Arunga is on the way to get a job as news anchor at Citizen TV, with a set salary of SH 900,000. Is this the same woman they claim was tortured by Raila’s handlers?
Common, Raila Detractors, You Can Do Better! This is too low!!
Miguna is rumoured to be paid by Uhuru Kenyatta to talk negative about Raila.
Ohhhhh poor Miguna, this is below the belt attack without proof.
As the saying goes, where there is smoke there is fire or at least embers. Miguna’s story may seem bisarr and out of this world, but remember strangely enough the truth often is.
If we substituted RAO’s name with Kibaki, Uhuru or Ruto in Miguna’s exposé, I am willing to wager that Miguna would not be seen to be spewing “cheap propaganda” but actually acting in national interests of Kenya. Look at the Dr. Ouko saga, the illustrious dakatari had the option of going to any EU embassy in Nairobi for protection and even in the aftermath of his death independent investigations from Scotland Yard proved fruitless. Even with overwhelming evidence of his state sanctioned assassination, disbelief similar to the one being displayed over Miguna’s allegations was the paramount reaction from some sections and communities in Kenya. Apparently Kenyan’s are in psychological denial and will not entertain nor confront the truth that the country has its owners. To pretend otherwise due to some misguided notion of loyalty or sacrifice truth on the altar of demigod worship of a tribal chieftain is, with all due respect to and with no intention to malice or malign, just so pathetic. Power corrupts even the best of us, but some would have us believe that this phenomenon is it limited to a certain caliber of politician or perhaps even a region or community.
We need to accept and recognize who we are and where we are headed before any tangible change can be achieved in our country. If one does not belong to the petty bourgeoisies elite that has a strangle hold on power in Kenya, the demigod worship of a tribal chieftain will not gain one membership to this class but is nevertheless expected by them and is just one of the tools in their arsenal helping to keep the masses, considered to be sheep with “no class” in their place with no chance of breeching this imposed social structure. Make no mistake, petty bourgeoisies elite see themselves as lions (Jomo Kenyatta even gave us a clue when he referred to himself as such) and have nothing and will never have anything in common with sheep except exploit them to server their needs. Sadly confusion reigns supreme amongst the sheep even to this day as to the nature and character of Kenya’s politics.
Do not hold a personal grudge against Esther and Timberlake simply because you didn’t achieve your personal selfish interests “on TV”..they remain our children, our fellow Kenyans and who knows may be in future..our “new crop of leaders.” Am a senior security officer and attached to the High Court. As a prosecutor, we’ve gathered enough evidence inclusive of video clips and audio from a mobile service provider tagged to several senior government officers. Investigations are going on at NCIC offices to establish the truth on these clips and people commiting the crimes. Enough evidence to send them to jail for the longest time with no remorse. I wish you were in the position to watch the video clips of these young people’s torture, especially Esther. As a parent, I shed tears. Kenyans, please, lets set aside any hate on them and instead begin to understand the truth coming out to light. 2012 shall see most of these politicians especially from ODM caged in jail. Trust me, CJ has brought a lot of changes to these courts and no one is above the law to intimidate another one. We shall end this crime against humanity. Luos in here, I know you’re passionate of your Prime Minister, but as a court officer anybody caught on the side of gross crimes against humanity must face the full law.
Kenyans sorely need to awake from the slumber they find themselves in. Tribal tendencies and grandeurs of tribal superiority is blinding us!
If history has taught us anything it is that despots all have their cronies. In the Kenyan context there are cronies that spend their days longing after the glorious days of the Kenyatta and Moi administrations when they, again by virtue of ethnic association, ruled the land. Fortunately those cronies that yearn to re-live their glory of the bygone days of the British colonial administration are a dying breed. Do not be surprised, as cronies existed even then but are perhaps more recognizable if I use the term collaborator, and as we are aware these collaborators turned a blind eye to the slaughter and displacement of their countrymen in anticipation of the bone the colonialists threw at them in form of a bag of posho to feed their immediate families. This scenario repeats itself even today, but the bag of posho has been replaced with a briefcase of legal tender, a lesso, scholarships or opportunity to speak vernacular in public offices with impunity. These are apparently sought after fringe benefits that bigoted cronies are more than willing to die for as they run riot in the streets of our cities and towns, raping and pillaging. This attitude and mentality is even mirrored on the social sites on the Internet like KSB. Dire consequences await anyone that would attempt to stand in their way. At least on the Internet one comes away relatively unscathed save for the insults and barbs thrown with tenacious ferocity, they however tend to bounce off when one considers their source.
These cronies, or if you may, diehard followers are a minority and driven by opportunist, selfish and parasitic interests that are geared to ensuring that their beloved despot leader remains in power. As the despots hold on to power grows tighter, the notion of his being infallible gains momentum and credibility. Cronies are one a dime, as the popular American saying goes, bigoted and a pitiful lot. More so if their reverence to the despot is solely based on ethnic association brought about by a wistful yearning of the improvement of their socio-economic station in life. This never occurs however because they are at the lower end of the opportunist spectrum in comparison to their compatriots at the higher end who share in the despots spoils. These cronies are moreover often violent in their verbal and physical altercations with anyone that holds the despot in disdain or questions that despot’s infallibility. Interestingly the cronies at the lower end of the opportunist spectrum never seem to take stock and think of what would happen if the despot were to be disposed. They more than often lack the financial ability to relocate, of course to the developed “democracies” of the West, and can hardly get away as refugees like the Somalis or Ethiopians. Moreover these are the times of stringent Visa implementation, so the prospects are often bleak when “mzee” either does a runner with the contents of the Central Bank (Mobutu, Amin) or forcefully removed (Ghagbo, Kaunda, Moi) or dies in office (Nyerere,Kenyatta). Their compatriots at the higher end of the opportunist spectrum on the other hand gouge themselves silly on the public coffers and use the judicial system they control to allocate ownership of fraudulently obtained land and property to their children and grand children, all in the guise of willing seller willing buyer. If the worst case scenario arose, immediate relocation with just the cloths on their backs is no issue as offshore bank accounts abound with enough funds to pay Kenya’s foreign debt many times over. They leave the demonstrations, stone throwing and other unsavory actions to their compatriots on the lower end of opportunist spectrum. Their tribe is defined by membership to this exclusive club for those that enjoy Uhuru and the fruits of independence, Kenya’s very own petty bourgeoisies’ elite.
The question teasing your minds now is how does one make it to the higher end of the opportunist spectrum from the lower end? You either marry or married (Jomo Kenyatta and Chief Koinange’s daughter); Children marries or gets married (Fidel Odinga and Kenyatta’s); Patronage from one of the old guards (Jirongo, Ruto); Elevated to public office and enrich yourself while maintaining deniability as to evade culpability (A virtue in these circles); Become filthy rich by playing the system and not getting caught (Patini, majority of “Kenyan” Indians). Demonstrations, stone throwing or Internet skirmishes unfortunately do not count for anything nor endear you to these people.
As stated the reward for the diehard cronieis a hand-out at a political rally, a worthless scholarship to some obscure country for your child or and the opportunity to speak vernacular in public offices with impunity. All the while the country and public infrastructure collapses around us. Hospitals, schools, roads, telecom and postal services, agricultural sector, industrial sector all crumble with massive unemployment, deaths and misery on the increase as a result. Is this the Kenya we want? We surely cannot all migrate to the West and hope to secure residence there. We must begin to put our house in order, and the chance beckons this election year 2012. If we blow it now because we fear the mythical orgre that is “the other tribe” and let the bourgeoisies elite have a field day and do not elect according to ability but cast our votes based on tribal sentiment, then we deserve the Kenya we have.
@ O. Hatari,
I feel obliged to respond directly to you because your entry refers to my earlier phrase; “cheap propaganda”. I restricted my observation to Esther and Timberlake’s public appearances which seemed ‘normal’ after Esther gave birth. Nothing pointed to anything strange in their physique, at least to me. I can only comment on available public information, since I am not privy to documents (if any) showing criminal charges levied on anyone alleged to have tortured them. Further, there had not been any mention of such until the iReport excerpts emerged. My comment ended with a legal point that, producing evidence will be important for Miguna Miguna, otherwise he will handle many libel suits when the book is published. Frankly, the above piece from iReport is based on allegations/speculations, so it does not matter at this juncture, others personal take. There is no legal evidence produced so far and the book is not in the public domain for ‘fine-tooth combing’.
There is a new Constitution in place and my prayer is that we shall be seeing justice that missed out during the old Constitution. I also hope there will be restitution for those affected by years of misrule and high-handedness from the powers that be. The Deputy CJ’s ongoing high profile case is a litmus test and a barometer to gauge what we expect from the ‘new-look’ Judiciary.
I am on record at KSB as a supporter of Miguna Miguna’s current crusade of mentioning the truth about his bungled job reinstatement.
I am also 100% for a clean break from the accepted culture of corruption in Kenya, be it in Raila’s or Kibaki’s office. Nobody is sacred in the fight against corruption and I would not take it kindly if my comments are used to allude to the opposite.
Miguna mentioned during his recent interview with Jeff Koinange at the ‘Bench’ that Raila’s office is riddled with corruption and he has material evidence documented in his forthcoming book. He did not mince words saying that Caroli Omondi is corrupt and benefited from the infamous YK 92 scandal. If Miguna can table materials to prove his allegations, it would be a great step towards dealing with impunity. However, it is unfair to assume that some of us are biased or shy off, when corruption touches on people belonging to our tribes.
Within my own social circles, I have mentioned several times that Raila has dealt with Miguna’s case poorly and should have acted as a Statesman by not letting his foot soldiers blunder to this extent. A lot of Raila’s mannerism in this case, resonates with Orengo’s information about his poor managerial skills, as noted in a WikiLeaks cable released last year. Miguna had the right to half his salary (during the so-called suspension) as stipulated in Kenyan labor laws. By denying him that, and given that the buck stops with Raila who was his boss and not Caroli, then the blame is squarely on Raila. Caroli retained his official vehicle plus had access to his office while under suspension for the maize scandal. Why did he treat Miguna differently?
Raila’s wife, Ida Odinga, suffered emotionally and financially when he was detained for a long stretch by former president Moi. Has Raila forgotten that? Even if he loathes Miguna, he should accord him full human rights and respect the court ruling by awarding him his salary arrears. On the other hand if Miguna is a criminal, then Raila or Caroli should petition him in court to prove it.
I have never denied the reality of corruption that has tainted many within the Grand Coalition. The maize scandal is a case in point, which according to a WikiLeaks cable released last year, linked both Raila’s and Kibaki’s families. Former American Ambassador Ranneberger wrote: “We have credible reports that members of Odinga’s family, presumably with his knowledge and/or involvement, were involved in the maize scandal. Thus, at the time he made his dramatic February 14 statements, Odinga was facing serious pressures on both the corruption and constitutional review issues.” The cable at the beginning says the family of President Kibaki was also involved in the maize scandal, according to a Standard newspaper report.
A few years ago, the official car of Raila’s brother, Finance assistant minister Oburu Odinga, was intercepted by police who found a huge cache of cannabis in it. Today, Raila’s sister, Beryl Odinga, failed to appear in court to answer charges of unlawful acquisition of public property, and so forth.
Once again, I hope that under the new Constitution, the independence of the Judiciary will be respected by the Executive, to re-establish the lost due process of law.
Chief Inspector A.W. show us the videos then we will have a different opinion. We have seen American marines pissing on Afghan dead bodies, why not leak videos of Dr Frank Njenga’s forcing abortion on Arunga? Nobody is hates her except we need a platform to argue from and not just empty emotions.
miguna you reason like a dining hall prefect,if you knew all these then why did you have to wait untill you r kicked hard in the ass hole is when you start dangling better get something to do n feed ur family try with macdonalds n not mariga i mean the fast food stores in canada or what ever u call it. Good luck n bye.
Wakenya surely we cannot be that vulnerable to buy such a fake story without an author’s name and full of legally questionable accusations. Hii ni ujinga.
My comments earlier should not be interpreted as an attack on Jared or any other person for that matter. My apologies to those that may have taken offence and my sincerest assurance that none was or has been intended.
The issues confronting Kenyans must be addressed in a transparent and unbiased matter if any progress is to be made to change the prevailing attitudes that hold us back. It is no secret that the Kibaki administration has taken corruption, nepotism, corruption and impunity to new heights. I have no doubt we are all in agreement about this fact. It would be futile and dishonest to blame Mwangi, Kimani or Njoroge for this state of affairs. The buck stops at Kibaki’s doorstep since he is the holder of the office in question and bears responsibility. I fail to see the relevance of Caroli Omondi or RAO’s foot soldiers. I doubt if their opinions and wishes were sought when RAO’s relatives and next of kin were being apportioned “matunda ya Uhuru” in form of plumb jobs. Caroli Omondi or RAO’s foot soldiers role in this respect would certainly been no more than delivering the letters of appointment if any. I also find it difficult to believe that their relation to the PM is purely coincidental and played no part in their deployment. It would be not far from the truth if a relationship to the PM would serve as an impediment to appointment in a country where national interests were a priority. There are definitely better qualified Kenyans that would have served our country with distinction but lack the advantage of having relations in high places. Furthermore, consider the recruitment of personnel in the PM’s office where by employing and surrounding himself with “my people” has not raised RAO’s eyebrows. Another coincidence or precedence is being pursued? Is it a question of how much can be denied or how much can be proved?
Is it wrong to expect the same leeway and benefit of doubt Jared extends to the PM to be offered to the President without the blanket condemnation he is always subjected to? I am no supporter of the current administration, but let us be consistent in our reasoning and try not to be hypocritical by being clouded by medieval sentiment. When RAO was in Stockholm he went on record saying that being in the coalition had shown him the unbelievable levels of corruption in the corridors of power. Yet he presides over corruption, nepotism, tribalism and impunity in the office of the Prime Minister and would have Kenyans believe he adheres to different values from those he forced to share power. From where I stand him and every other Kenyan politician are cut from the same cloth, perhaps being PM has revealed the real man behind the mask. Let’s be candid, the PM is as rotten as the rest of them. . Patriotic Kenyans everywhere see the similarities and trends being displayed by the big two despite their ethnic differences. These similarities bind them together more powerfully than their differences separate them and the Kenyan electorate should not be deceived when they play the tribal card.
If the Kenyan electorate were to elect a president because each tribe should have “It’s our time to eat” mandate, then we simply do the math to find out exactly where we are headed. 42 tribes x 2 mandate periods per president gives us about 400years. If we rightly assume some of these presidents will hang on to power, double the number of years but subtract the odd 100 years for those honest presidents upholding the constitution and limiting themselves to 2 mandates only. We can conclude that it would take about 500 years if we walk down this path before presidents, and politicians for that matter, can be elected for their abilities not ethnicity. Is the average Kenyan ready to wait 500 years for a decent life? I used the term medieval earlier and this is exactly what this, building of family dynasties to rule Kenyans. I am a modern Kenyan living in modern terms where ability and talent are the prerequisites for success. Throw in a decent education and we have a winning combination.
I want the right to have a decent life now and not after 500 years. I want to be able to ensure a better future is attainable for those coming after I am gone. My descendants should have the opportunity to have their hopes and aspirations fulfilled because they are Kenyans and their future should not be held hostage to the fortunes of the houses of Kenyatta, Odinga, Mudavadi, Kalonzo or Balala.
PNU party is taking this allegation seriously and have indeed acquired the video footage showing Esther Arunga;s agony at Dr Frank Njenga’s Bustani Medical Centre on 37 Muthangari Road in Lavington. It is so sad to watch especially with Esther wailing painfully during the abortion procedure. Contents of Propofol and Demerol can be seen besides her bed blood filled bed. I think this time the criminal won’t escape.
Kenyans, am so sorry. I was used to blackmail Timberlake that he had children with me. Am a kamba/ugandan married in Gigiri. I’ve never met Quincy and just saw him on TV. So, folks, i’ve since returned in parcel post the Ksh24k I was given to mud sling him. Am so sorry to Esther for the part i contributed during their tribulation. Guys forgive me. This guilt is very extreme because I came find out later that Esther was a good woman.
My dear Kenyans in diaspora. This is a member of Parliament. Am so happy with your consistency to ensure that impunity is thrown out of Kenyan windows. With due respect, ensure that all Kenyans know the truth about Esther Arunga’s saga that made people drive to tears. Her husband has faced alot of maliciousness and this must be stopped by your global voices. Thanks Makozewe for bringing this story out. We know the people trying to compromise the story from reaching Kenyans but we too, shall fight for the truth to come to light in our Parliament. They thought they blocked the site but a Norwegian newspaper came with it at: http://wallinside.com/login-Oslo-News.html
O. Hatari, apologies accepted and I am glad we speak the same language. Keep it up with your upright texts because Kenyan matters require such in-depth analyses, to understand what ails us. Impunity must stop. A Luta Continua!
This is pure nonsense from Timberlake cloning the Internet to seek attention. That link sent by the person using the name Imanyara is doubtful. Imanyara is too high above this kind of game. Readers should remember Timberlake has been blacked out by Kenyan media houses.He is a nobody.
I believe what Miguna has published in the so called book are facts but i also sense hypocrisy in Miguna noting that all that happened when he was still in terms with Raila that’s revenge and it’s Raila to LOOSE
ANATOMY OF A KENYAN MALE POLITICIAN
1. Has no qualms making over Kshs. 1 Mil + allowances/per month, and demanding more while there are children in the country sleeping hungry every day.
2. Is conceited enough to make promises on TV that he knows he will not keep just to get re-elected so that he can continue squandering Kenya’s resources.
3. Is so selfish he has 4-5 high-end cars while the transportation system is so pathetic people walk for miles to go to and from work; and owns several mansions while the majority of his fellow Kenyans are living in a shack made of tin, cardboard and mud.
4. Pays hundreds of thousands of shillings per term for his kids to attend expensive private schools while the public schools in Kenya are in shambles and in dire need of teachers, books and supplies.
5. Is totally oblivious of the pathetic condition of this country but does absolutely nothing about it.
6. Owns swathes of stolen land across the country but cannot donate any of it to displaced IDPs, or own up and return it to the people of Kenya.
7. Goes to the Western countries for the best healthcare instead of enacting laws here at home that will improve healthcare and make it available to the poverty stricken masses.
8. Suffers from extreme superiority complexes, tribal and chauvinistic tendencies – what’s with the 30% gender rule? It is archaic and so 18th Century!
9. Is totally above the law.
10. Is an alcoholic, womanizing thug.
1. Suffers from impunity (freedom from punishment, harm or loss), illiteracy or ignorance which explains why he/she had to choose between an orange and a banana to make a major decision a few years ago; also implies that he/she doesn’t know all his/her rights under the new Constitution.
2. Is impervious (not capable of being affected or disturbed) to the mess in their country including but not limited to the smelly Nairobi River, the poor roads that cause carnage and unbelievable traffic, poor healthcare or lack thereof, poor education and quality of air, crime, incapable leaders etc.
3. Is insecure and incapable of speaking up for his/her right to better living standards including better wages.
4. Is so poor to the extent that he/she may have given up on ever having a better life so really doesn’t care about the outcome of an election such as the one coming up.
5. Is so tribal and completely incapable of extricating him/herself from this mire and looking beyond the tribe of another person to see the good in them.
6. Is violent and if combined with item #5 above can easily turn this country into Rwanda 1994.
7. Is dirty and unkempt hence throwing trash anywhere and littering an otherwise beautiful country.
8. Is greedy and will accept a bribe as meager as Kshs. 200 or a barrel of busaa in exchange for a vote.
9. Is an alcoholic, which further explains the road carnage and the incapacity to vote intelligently.
10. Is utterly non-development conscious which explains the haphazard construction of buildings without planning, etc.
Why Facebook ‘makes you sad’: Pictures posted on site can make people jealous of each others’ lives
By Tom Leonard
18th January 2012
Feeling down about your life? One quick way to cheer yourself up may be to delete your Facebook account.
New research indicates that the more people use the hugely popular social networking website, the more they will believe that others are much happier. The study by Utah Valley University found that the carefully-chosen pictures of smiling, cheerful faces which Facebook users tend to plaster over their pages cumulatively convey a debilitating message to others.
Sociologists Hui-Tzu Grace Chou and Nicholas Edge interviewed 425 undergraduate students about their happiness and that of their friends. Participants were asked how much they agreed or disagreed with statements such as ‘Life is fair’ and ‘Many of my friends have a better life than me’. They then described their Facebook activity including their number of ‘friends’ and the proportion whom they actually knew.
Ninety-five percent used Facebook, and on average they had been there for two and a half years and spent nearly five hours a week on it. After allowing for gender, religiosity and whether people were single or attached, the study found that ‘the more hours people spent on Facebook, the stronger was their agreement that others were happier’. This was particularly true of Facebook users who stockpiled ‘friends’ they did not actually know.
Those who had used Facebook for longer were also ‘significantly’ likely to agree with the statement that ‘life is unfair’. Conversely, the study – published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behaviour and Social Networking – found that people who spent more time actually socialising with friends in the flesh were less likely to feel they had been handed life’s short straw.
Ms Chou argues that this Facebook-related dissatisfaction is the result of a common psychological process known as ‘correspondence bias’, in which we draw false conclusions about people based on limited knowledge.
According to Ms Chou, ‘looking at happy pictures of others on Facebook gives people an impression that others are “always” happy and having good lives’. While Facebook users will know that their real friends have ups and downs in their lives, all they have to go on with their fake Facebook ‘friends’ is a smiling picture. When that distorting effect is multiplied by the hundreds of Facebook friends that people don’t actually know, it is easy to see how bitterness can fester, said the study.

RAILA’S SISTER QUIZZED BY KACC
By Maxwell Masava, The Star, 05 July 2011
Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s sister Beryl Odinga was yesterday questioned for two hours by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission, according to multiple sources.
Beryl has been chairperson of Kenya Railways Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme since 2008.
She was reportedly at KACC’s Integrity Centre from 9am yesterday being questioned by investigators over various transactions including the sale of Railways pension fund properties.
The KRSRBS has nine board members. Long serving chief executive Mathew Tuikong was sent on compulsory leave last year pending investigations by KACC.
Several other board members and employees have been questioned by KACC officers who have also undertaken a forensic audit of the scheme’s financial transactions.
“We are almost finishing investigations on this matter and from what we have seen some people are culpable. They are likely to be charged in court,” said a KACC officer.
“We wanted Beryl to explain a number of transactions that have been undertaken under her watch,” said a senior officer at Integrity Centre yesterday.
” It is unfair to single out the board chairperson for condemnation yet the scheme’s board has many members representing various stakeholders where decisions were reached unanimously. This malicious and baseless accusations targeting individuals must cease forthwith,” said KRSRBS spokesman Timothy Musunza yesterday.
He denied that Beryl was questioned by KACC officials. However multiple contacts in KACC said that Beryl had been there.
The Railways retirement scheme owns prime properties across Kenya and in Nairobi worth an estimated 19 billion shillings. Yet it owes its 9,000 members millions of shillings in pension arrears.
The KRSRBS was established in 2006 after the concessioning of the Rift Valley Railways as a pension scheme for former Kenya Railways employees.
The scheme was sued over the irregular sale of property owned by Kenya Railways retired staff in October last year.
Three pensioners sued the board of trustees accusing them of mismanaging the scheme; failing to prepare and file annual financial statements; failing to pay monthly dues to the pensioners; and failing to convene an annual general meeting.
The pensioners claim Beryl and the board authorized the chief executive officer to advertise for sale three houses at Matumbato Estate in Nairobi’s Upper Hill even though they had long been transferred to third parties.
Last October the chief executive Mathew Tuikong was sent on leave and replaced in acting capacity by Caroline Nyororo, the then pension scheme’s estate manager.
The rent collected from the Railways properties managed by the scheme provides the pensioners with their monthly payments. The pensioners said they were now at risk of losing their pensions through “plunder and mismanagement”.
The railways retirement scheme also has 72 acres of land in Muthurwa close to the Nairobi Central Business District where it is planned to demolish dilapidated housing and replace them with modern housing, shopping malls, office blocks and parking silos but court cases have stalled the process.
A proposed development of Golf City on 73 acres along Uhuru Highway, a partnership between KRSRBS and KRC, consists of a nine hole golf course, five-star hotel, conference facilities, and shopping mall among other developments.
However the project has stalled and the Chinese firm that won the contract for the $600 million project is still encountering hurdles.

My African eye on the world
Share
The thing about being a crusader for a cause is that you eventually get a big blow-back from those affected by the crusading. For his pain in speaking openly about the corruption in the Kremlin, former Russian oil billionaire Mikhail Khodorkovsky was thrown into a deep hole in Siberia in 2005 where he languishes until 2016.
Moreover, it is hard to forget Italian judge Giovanni Falcone, the anti-mafia crusader who took on the mafia brotherhood in Sicily in the 1980s and lost. The mafia caught up with Judge Falcone on Saturday, 23 May 1992, near the town of Capaci. As his armoured motorcade sped toward the airport that now bears his name, Falcone’s car was blown up by a massive bomb planted under an underpass. His wife, Francesca Morvilio, and several police bodyguards perished with him.
So, it is with trepidation that one watches Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna, who started his legal career in Toronto, Canada, take on entrenched interests in Kenyan politics. In Toronto, Mr. Miguna Miguna was a much respected lawyer whose flair for colourful African hats made him a distinct institution in the legal circle. An avowed pan-Africanist who believes firmly in a unified Africa, and principled to a fault, Miguna Miguna was legendary for standing his ground even when he was outnumbered over an issue so long as he believed he was right.
Several years ago Miguna Miguna packed up his family to return to serve his motherland as coalition advisor to Kenya’s Prime Minister Raila Odinga. What is surprising is that it took so long for Miguna Miguna to tangle with officials in the PM’s office. The issue with Raila Odinga began last August 2011 when Miguna Miguna was suspended from his high-paying job.
The official version from the prime minister’s office was that Miguna Miguna was insufferably self-centered, overstepping his role, and rubbing a lot of people the wrong way. The suspension letter signed by the PS Mohamed Isahakia made available to the media indicated that Miguna Miguna was booted for among other allegations for “refusal to sign local agreement forms despite several appeals to do so, harassment, intimidation, and use of abusive language to colleagues and misrepresenting the office of the PM.”
But little did they know Miguna Miguna fighting abilities, especially that side of him that a critic and admirer called an “obsessively querulous character.” Miguna Miguna maintained from the beginning that there were too many irregularities and arbitrariness in the manner with the Prime Minister’s office dealt with his suspension. They acted inhumanely, did not follow due process, and grossly “breached my legal and constitutional rights.” He sued PS Isahakia, even as he engaged in a pitch media campaign against the PM’s office.
Commenting in the online Daily Nation, another admirer wrote, “Miguna lived and worked in free, open and democratic societies of the West and his approach to issues in Kenya is a manifestation of how free, democratic and open systems should operate.” Three weeks ago, on Thursday, December 15, 2011, Kenya High Court disagreed and threw out the petition, saying there was no evidence that Miguna Miguna suffered any losses as result of the suspension.
Then on December 27, 2011, officials in the prime minister’s office informed the media that Miguna Miguna was being reinstated. But at a press conference called in his home on New Year’s Eve, Miguna Miguna told the press that he met the Prime Minister at Serena Hotel in Nairobi who offered his job back.
He was shocked later when he received a letter from a Mr. Abdul Mwasera, a junior officer in the prime minister’s office, outlining a different version to what was agreed upon. He was not going to take the job back, and he was going to write a tell-all book about what he has seen in the PM’s office.
Now, as an observer far removed from the said tussle between Miguna Miguna and Raila Odinga’s office, there are a number of interesting observations to make. First, Miguna Miguna is completely right for standing his ground on principles. A corrupt political system like Kenya’s needs crusaders like Miguna Miguna to say out loud that the system must change. This goes beyond Kenya to other African countries where cronyism and nepotism are keys to government posts and parastatal bodies.
Secondly, the problem though is that Miguna Miguna, a neophyte in Kenya’s murky politics, is at once both a beneficiary and victim of that corrupt system. Though he insists otherwise, his appointment was political in that there was no public competition for the job. Well qualified, hard-working and highly principled as he is, he likely got the job because he had some pull with Raila Odinga, and being a fellow Luo might have also helped. This tends to weaken the purity of his quarrel with the prime minister’s office.
Thirdly, Miguna Miguna is dealing with entrenched political interests in Kenya, with people who have invested enormous amount of resources to get where they are, and who will stop at absolutely nothing to ensure that they retain their places in the lofty circle of power. Fourthly, unlike here in Toronto where one can fight openly with the mighty and powerful, these invested individuals in Kenyan politics see red at the temerity of a newcomer like Miguna Miguna trying to change the status quo.
Miguna Miguna, in other words, may have bitten more leather than he can chew because he now has more than just the prime minister’s office baying for his blood. There are likely many other interested parties eager to see the “Canadian” (Miguna Miguna is a Kenyan who never relinquished his citizenship) go back to Canada.
However this is going to end, and it will end at some point, there is no glory when you are cooling your heels in Siberia on cooked up charges, or worst, having a small airstrip named after you after the fact. Miguna Miguna must watch his back.

CNN pulls down the Quincy- Esther Arunga reports .
Monday, 23 January 2012 22:25 BY GRACE KERONGO
The much talked about online posts on CNN’s blog, iReport about Quincy Timberlake and Esther Arunga’s dramatic hardships have been pulled down. The libelous posts that accused high standing Kenyan personalities of various insidious crimes were flagged as offensive and pulled down.
The iReport segment of the CNN website is a citizen journalism initiative that allows people from around the globe to contribute pictures and video of breaking news stories from their own towns and neighborhood. The posts told of numerous trials and tribulations that the controversial couple Esther and Quincy underwent during their much-publicized Finger of God saga last year.
The posts that were uploaded online via a profile, SydneyNews. The stories written in questionable grammar read like the infamous Finger of God email scams that got the church’s worshippers thinking, Benny Hinn was in communication with them. It’s the same emails that also conned saxophonist Joseph Hellon into believing he had bagged a million dollar Pepsi sponsorship deal. These posts also purported that Esther could be getting back to TV for a whooping salary of over Sh930,000 and that we should all watch out for an impeding interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan.
KENYANS ARE FOOLS
LOOK AT NATIONAL EXAMS
HOW MANY FAIL?AND I THINK MIGUNA IS THE INTELLECTUAL INCDEVOROUS FOOL OF THE FOOLS
am shocked. i must buy the book
Just a few questions to my brother Miguna.
1. We know that Tuju was a bigger political threat to Raila than the two Timberlakes combined. Why would Raila go for a lesser opponent?
2. How many kenyans knew Timberlake before Esther joined finger of god church and attracted media?
3. How did you know the very dark secrets of Raila?
4. Is Timberlake also a member of the dark world and thats why Raila fought him even when he was broke, naive and not popular?
(a saying goes that a gecko can identify another gecko from far)
5. Mr. Miguna, you were part of Raila team for a fairly long time. How could you stick with a dirty and deadly man for that long?
6. Are you using Raila’s name to sell your book and gain cheap popularity?
7. We’ve seen some of Raila’s friends ditch ODM and talk ill of him in a bid to block him from becoming the president. What makes you any different?
Someone Help Esther Arunga’s Children! .
Friday, 06 July 2012 00:04 BY GRACE KERONGO
The controversial couple of Esther Arunga and Quincy Timberlake are causing concerns over the way they are raising their two children – Sinclair, one-year old and their newest bundle of joy a three-month-old baby boy.
A source spoke to Word Is highlighting the deplorable situation in which the couple is living in Dubai. “The reason why I’m speaking to you is because I think she is in so much trouble. They are still in Dubai and I’m worried about the children. When she arrived in Dubai, she did not know how far along she was. When she gave birth three months ago, the baby was malnourished,” the source said, “The guy (Quincy) does jobs here and there and Esther sometimes goes to look for menial jobs.”
The source claimed that the former TV news anchor and her husband are on expired visas in Dubai and are not in Australia as they had earlier claimed. “For her sake, I would like everyone to know, even her parents, that they have already over stayed their visa. I would like to appeal to the Dubai government or the Kenyan government to (step in and see how they can) help out the two children.
“I don’t think the children are in a safe and healthy environment. They do not have enough food to feed the children. They look malnourished and underweight. Quincy doesn’t have the money to support the family and as a consequence Esther and their two sons are suffering.” According to our source Quincy occasionally works at a car wash to make ends meet.
Hellon: Picking up from where I left

Posted Sunday, March 25 2012
How is your presidential bid coming along?
I decided to suspend that for a while to focus on my music, which is what Kenyans seem to like most about me. I still intend to contest in future after my name has been cleared of all the scandals.
For now I’m just trying to do what I do best and expand my networks. May be in the next five years or so I will vie if I feel I’m ready. If not, there will always be other chances because I’m still quite young.
Do you really believe you stood a chance?
Oh yes. I had a lot of support from the youth and the entire country knew of my ambition. I had laid out concrete strategies and had things taken another direction we would be having a totally different conversation today.
Unfortunately the powers that be saw me as a potential threat and went to great lengths to contain my growing popularity. But I’m still here?
On the contrary most people dismissed you as a non-starter, why would you believe anyone considered you a political threat?
There’s a lot that went on behind the scenes that the media never reported after I declared my intention to vie for the presidency. I stirred quite a storm in some political bigwigs’ back yards and they used their influence in the media to black out the good things and only portray me in bad light.
However that is all water under the bridge now, I will come back bigger and better.
What about your spiritual calling, are you still pursuing it?
Of course. After last year’s saga, a good number of the faithful left the Finger of God Church but a few remained and together we have kept it alive.
We hold regular meetings in our respective residences where we share the Word and fellowship together. We, however, cannot hold public gatherings until the government completes its investigations and all the cases related to Finger of God have been determined.
What about all that other stuff that Finger of God was associated with?
People really misunderstood the entire tale and the media was too busy chasing a sensational story to bother with the facts, which were getting in the way of otherwise eye catching news.
Anyone who ever came to our church can tell you that it was designed to cater to the spiritual needs of entertainers and other public figures who couldn’t fit into mainstream churches.
I merely gave them a way to connect with God without having to endure the judgmental stares from regular church-goers because they had dreadlocks or because they sang in discos.
I’m happy that all the rumours have now been put to rest since none of my accusers was able to produce any evidence during the investigations.
Do you in any way feel responsible for the role you played in Esther Arunga’s downfall?
Absolutely not. Unless you consider being a gracious and generous host wrong.
Esther was like a sister to me and at first when she told me about her relationship with Quincy Timberlake, I supported her when no one else did because I knew Quincy from back when I was in Primary school and I was genuinely happy that two of my friends had fallen in love.
But when I later realised that Quincy wasn’t all he had made himself out to be and that he had changed a great deal from the ‘Joginder Singh’ – his nickname in primary school – I used to know, I advised her to leave him but she would hear none of it.
I admit my folly in misjudging Quincy’s character but I did try my best to pull Esther away from him.
Are you still in touch with them?
Not really. They changed all their phone numbers. As far as I know they got married and now live somewhere in Nairobi’s Kayole estate.
Your lifestyle is quite lavish compared to most Kenyan entertainers, how do you account for your wealth?
I’m a jazz musician and jazz is not everyday kind of music. The type of people who hire me are not cash strained and that is how I am able to make an average of Sh250,000 from a single performance.
In addition, my wife and I teach music and we have also trained tutors whom we hire out to teach in various high cost schools in the country.
Then of course there are the on and off contracts like the deal with Tusker Project Fame which earned me about Sh2 million.
In addition I have partnered with my wife’s father in some real estate and farming ventures. He is one of the pioneer investors in the country and because I married into his family, he guided me to invest in residential and commercial property trading and Aloe Vera farming which is quite lucrative.
How did you get into jazz?
I came from a very poor family where eating three times a day was considered a luxury. Through scholarships, I was able to get a sound education and it is through my schooling that I got to interact with jazz.
When I was in Form 1 at Starehe Boys Centre, we had a music prefect, Geoffrey Njogu, who played the saxophone.
It was through him that I learnt to play it and many other instruments and I went on to hone my skills over the years. By the time I cleared high school, I was qualified to play most instruments.
How has your return to the mainstream entertainment industry been received?
Naturally there are a few skeptics but it has mostly been encouraging. There are those who still believe I run a cult but I intend to earn everyone’s trust once again by proving what I am made of.
That is what my new album is all about. It’s a mixture of traditional jazz fused with Rhumba creating a sound that can appeal to all and sundry. I’ve also initiated a project aimed at getting more young people to appreciate jazz music.
Tell us more about that.
It’s a weekly gig called ‘Jazz and Clads’. It has two elements, fashion and music. We have models and designers show casing unique fashion trends and young jazz musicians playing live music.
It has been happening every Friday for the past three months and so far the turnout is remarkable. Our main target is young people since majority of them know very little about the beauty that is jazz music.
Parting shot?
I am thankful to everyone who stood by me during my period of trial and now that I’m back I intend to pick up from where I left off.
This mad man MigunaMiguna has no choice in life after failing in politics, cheap politics is at times better than loose mouth.
You need to accept that you are a project that was meant to fail as we suport Raila Amolo Odinga to the state house. Style up oguna, STYLE-UP AND GO BACK TO SCHOOL jst for political science course
so u may know what quality of politics we are interested in
Esther Arunga has been held by Quincy Timberlake at ransom
Monday, 09/07/2012 – Series of Esthercinema has lately been running sparking controversy.
One thing is clear, Esther is dillusional.
A source from Dubai where the two are living claimed that she is lying to be in Australia adding that he has evidence to prove they are stuck in Dubai.
Apparently, Quincy has brainwashed her that she is not lovable and that he is the only thing she has left to look up to. He is always quoting the bible about women submitting in order to tame her. She is in a stage where she is even borrowing money to make her hair. Though Timberlake is trying to make both ends meet, he has failed to make Esther live her previous luxurious life.
She claimed to a local daily that she had been flown out of the country by the US embassy as her life and that of her family was in danger. According to the grapevine, Quincy is always threatening her and is now holding her at ransom. The source dispatched the rumours that Esther was to marry a Cabinet Minister as she claims labelling her as a huge liar.
Only time will pave way for the truth.
The Kenyan DAILY POST
Very interesting
Esther Arunga comes out: Latest PHOTOs
Wednesday, July 11, 2012 – In the past one year, Kenyans have been treated to a cinema starring Esther Arunga, Quincy Timberlake et al. The DAILY POST can now exclusively report that Esther is indeed well and happy in Australia. Esther has denied vehemently recent allegations that she is living in Dubai suffering and being held at ransom by her darling husband Timberlake and denied romours that her son Sinclair is malnourished.
A few months ago, there were unconfirmed reports that she was living in Kayole with her family in unclear circumstances. After two months, a source from Dubai claimed that she was living on an expired visa in Dubai and was suffering up to a point of begging money to make her hair. Information from the same source indicated that Timberlake, the husband, was doing manual jobs at a hotel in Dubai in order to make ends meet.
When we published the story, Esther contacted us on Monday with the intention of sharing proof that she is indeed in Sydney, Australia practicing law. We at the DAILY POST believe in the right of reply and we have given her the platform for the readers to judge. This morning, one of our editors received the following images and descriptions from Esther herself.
We cannot authenticate the dates when these photos were taken but this kind of proofs where our dear Arunga is…….
Speaking exclusively on phone and through messages to the DAILY POST from her beach house in Sidney Australia, Arunga has expressed her disappointment with the blazing rumors that were doing rounds in various media houses, that she was undergoing excruciating suffering in Dubai. She said that the longest she stayed in Dubai was 24 hours when they were on transit to the US with the help of the US embassy and they were on a Dubai transit Visa. They later left the US and proceeded to Australia where they are living currently.
“I am neither living in a shanty in Kayole nor living with an expired visa in Dubai, I am however practicing law in Australia and I can provide proof for it,” she exclaimed.
Esther says that her family has a cordial relationship with the mayor of Sydney and in one of the photos you can see their children (the Mayor’s and Esther’s) playing together. She hopes to come back to the country and vie for a political post with the hope of transforming Kenya into a better and safe place to live and work in.
We asked her to send us her economic and political blue print which she promised to do and immediately it is here, we will give her the podium to convince the Kenyan voter why she should occupy the house on the hill
We at the Kenyan DAILY POST wish her all the best. Now here are the images and short description from herself>>>

Miguna: Our office was a swamp of graft
By MURITHI MUTIGA mmutiga@ke.nationmedia.com
Posted Wednesday, July 11 2012 at 21:38
Miguna Miguna casts the Prime Minister’s office and the Grand Coalition as a den of corruption where multi-billion-shilling deals are struck behind closed doors and foreign trips used to clinch private business contracts.
In his new book, Mr Miguna also examines the question of campaign financing, saying foreigners with an eye on clinching government contracts provide hundreds of millions of shillings to presidential candidates.
Peeling back the Mask, Mr Miguna’s account of his time as a senior aide to PM Raila Odinga, has been described as the most explosive book in the country since John Githongo’s revelations on grand corruption within President Kibaki’s circle.
Mr Miguna makes similar claims about the PM. He is especially scathing about the PM’s choice of senior staff, saying many had been linked to graft before being tapped to serve with Mr Odinga.
“I regret now that I didn’t raise more objections when I found out that Raila had appointed Mohammed Isahakia as his campaign manager,” he writes.
“…(Dr Isahakia) has been implicated in a list of alleged corruption (scandals) as long as the River Nile. There are a few court judgments on these.
“I was befuddled. My brief inquiries revealed that Isahakia had served as managing director of the National Museums of Kenya before leaving under a dark cloud of corruption which saw him arraigned in numerous courts for theft, fraud and misappropriation of taxpayers’ money.
“He had then apparently been dismissed twice as a permanent secretary for incompetence under Moi’s government.”
Mr Miguna says two of the PM’s senior aides were involved in negotiations with Chinese officials for the supply of goods to the military worth billions. He links the suspension of military officials in the procurement department last year to the deal.
He offers an insider account of some of the scandals which have dogged Mr Odinga in the last four years, including the maize scam, the Kazi kwa Vijana initiative and questionable management practices at NSSF and NHIF.
He says attempts to draw the PM’s attention to the conduct of some of his senior staff made him unpopular.
“I…continued to challenge the merchants of impunity, again and again. I considered it part of my job to protect public interest. This made me a derided and feared figure in the corridors of power, but it was a price I was prepared to pay.
“I was becoming increasingly frustrated and angry that I had pinned my hopes on Raila and people like (James) Orengo and (Prof Anyang’) Nyong’o. Unfortunately, all of them had gone to bed with the merchants of corruption and looked at me as an irritant.
“What we had fought for during the second liberation was forgotten; it was now ‘our time to eat’. I got reports that Raila, Orengo, Nyong’o and (Otieno) Kajwang’ were jokingly comparing me to the Mau Mau who woke up one day in December 1963 to hear reports that Kenya had obtained independence, but refusing to believe it, chose instead to ‘return to the forest’.”
Anxiety all over his face
The author narrates an account of a meeting with Mr Odinga and the PM’s chief of staff, Mr Caroli Omondi, over allegations some senior staff were involved in the maize scandal. The scam involved the sale of billions of shillings worth of maize meant to cushion the poor.
“(I told the PM that) I have disturbing information, which I believe to be credible — and some of it has been reported in the media already — that it was Caroli who issued verbal instructions to the Strategic Grain Reserve (SGR) to order the (contaminated) maize, even to enhance its price and then told the managing director of the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) to release the maize to the domestic market despite serious reports of its contamination.
“Sir, reliable reports indicate that Caroli telephoned (Gideon) Misoi, the NCPB managing director, from our office line…’ Is that true Caroli? Did you call them from our office line?” Raila interjected again, looking at Caroli with anxiety written all over his face.
“Right there, I knew that both Raila and Caroli were privy to those ‘interventions’, otherwise, he wouldn’t and shouldn’t have cared where the calls emanated from. Whether Caroli used the office line or his mobile line or Caroli’s grandmother’s mobile phone didn’t matter, really. What mattered was why Caroli should have been the one giving instructions to the NCPB over contaminated maize.”
Mr Miguna also examines Mr Odinga’s ties with foreign businessmen. He claims an aide was sacked on suspicion of misappropriating campaign funds. He says the former PA brought Sh50 million to Mr Odinga while he had been given Sh200 million by the investor from South Korea.
Mr Miguna reproduces a letter which journalist Sarah Elderkin, a long-time confidante of the PM, wrote to Mr Odinga protesting against Mr Miguna’s suspension.
“You (Mr Odinga) have people around you playing major roles who are irredeemably corrupt. Two of them were suspended earlier and then incomprehensibly reinstated. They were suspended on full pay and benefits.
“Now you have a man who is totally loyal and not involved in your office staff’s blatant, well-known all over town, corruption, yet he is ‘suspended’ without pay and this is activated by one of those whose integrity I wouldn’t trust beyond a yard away from me, someone the whole town talks about.
“Miguna gets no chance to hear and answer allegations? This is against the most basic of labour laws and totally contrary to natural justice.”
Peeling Back the Mask: A Quest for Justice in Kenya, is published by Gilgamesh Africa, London. It will be launched at the InterContinental Hotel, Nairobi, 11am on Saturday, July 14 and will be available in bookshops thereafter.

EXCLUSIVE: How Raila ordered Esther Arunga’s forceful abortion (Part 2)
Saturday, July 14, 2012 – Who can remember the story that we broke months ago on how Esther Arunga Timberlake was forcefully aborted and robbed of a child in the hands of her own father Dr. Arunga and Dr. Njenga, under orders from the Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
The crime by the Premier is the worst act that any human being or government official can do against an innocent Kenyan fighting for her rights, this was all leaked from the long awaited Miguna Miguna book ‘Peeling off the mask’
As the book is unveiled today Esther Timberlake has written (through her lawyers) exclusively to the DAILY POST giving the full and comprehensive account of events and evidence on exactly what happened on that grave day. She has also indicated how K24 presenter and award winning journalist Jeff Koinange rescued her from Raila’s goons.
Below is an extract of how her husband was tortured and made to swear:
‘I Quincy Timberlake, I repent today to God and the State.For dating Esther ArungaI will never date her again.Today is the last eye contact I am having with her.I have no right to date her.Should I be seen with her again, that shall be the day I’ll see Karura with my eyes and my body would be fed to animals.’
This is the first time that you will read this very well kept secret that comes direct from the horse’s mouth. She reveals about the secret oaths, the devil worship, the politics behind it and everything that you will never hear anywhere else.
ON Monday at exactly 10:30 a.m don’t miss the truth behind Raila’s crimes, more photos, ID cards, evidence in images on our Part 2 series ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY on the Kenyan DAILY POST
And i also heard RAO turns into a fish at night and swims till morning.
Actually we welcome Miguna’s contribution to the presidential campaign. Miguna has made very serious allegations of corruption in Raila’s office which puts questions into Raila’s fitness for office. I believe that Raila has no choice but to respond and I have to hear him out just like we have heard from Miguna. All we are saying is that if corruption becomes a presidential campaign issue, then it cannot be limited to Miguna’s book or his experience of it in the 2 years he worked for Raila. Miguna’s question of how Caroli managed to make millions of shillings in a paltry salary of 300,000.00 Kenya shillings a month is legitimate, and I am sure Caroli may have to a certain point in time respond to that and fairness dictates that we hear him out. However, if this becomes a presidential campaign issue then it must apply across the board. Candidate Ruto, Uhuru and Mudamba should also tell us how they became billionaires with the kinds of salaries that they earned. Kenyans know that corruption in Kenya did not start or end with Miguna’s 2 years experience and to confine the debate of an important issue such as corruption to Miguna and his book would be really Moronic. We thank Miguna for bringing up this very important issue which has dogged Kenya since independence. Let it Rip
God he is evil

Miguna in Canada
Miguna Miguna fled Canada where he practiced law after being acquitted of sexual abuse charges leveled against him by two Kenyan women. The imposing Miguna Miguna allegedly overpowered and sexually abused the two vulnerable women in his office where they sought his counsel over their immigration cases. He then sued the head of state of Canada; Queen Elizabeth, the Canadian Minister of Justice, the Toronto Police Board, the Crown Attorneys claiming $17.5 million in damages but his case was dismissed and he was ordered to pay millions of shillings in legal fees.
How a man of Miguna Miguna’s calibre made it to the office of the prime minister as a legal advisor remains a mystery. Miguna Miguna’s past is enough to make any employer cringe and the fact that he was at the helm of Kenyan politics is more devastating to the Raila Odinga camp than his new book.

R.A. BLAIR J.A.:
Background
[1] Miguna Miguna is a barrister and solicitor, practising in the areas of human rights law and immigration and refugee law, amongst others. He was born in Kenya, subsequently immigrated to Canada and became a Canadian citizen. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 1995.
[2] On November 4, 2002, he was arrested at his law offices and charged with sexual assault following a complaint from one of his immigration clients. On July 14, 2003, when he appeared in court for the commencement of his trial on that charge, he was arrested again and charged with three further counts of sexual assault arising out of the complaints of another immigration client. Both arrests took place in front of colleagues and the public. He alleges that he was arrested, searched, handcuffed and detained in full public view at the court house on July 14 notwithstanding that he had, four days earlier, attended voluntarily at the police station, with his lawyer, in response to a police query to his staff about his whereabouts during an absence from his office while he was in Kenya.
[3] On June 23, 2004, he was acquitted of all charges by Justice Moore of the Ontario Court of Justice. The trial judge accepted his evidence, found that there were contradictions in the testimony of the two complainants and was suspicious that they had a common motive to implicate Mr. Miguna and concluded that the police investigation of the case was wanting in some respects.
[4] Mr. Miguna commenced these two proceedings against the Crown Attorney defendants, the Police defendants, Her Majesty the Queen, and the Attorney General for Ontario and Legal Aid Ontario, alleging malicious prosecution (including a serious allegation of racial profiling), breach of his Charter rights, negligent investigation and assault on the part of the police, and a galaxy of other “causes of action”, some of which exist in law and some of which do not. On motion of the Crown and police defendants, Justice Paisley struck the statements of claim and refused leave to amend. He awarded substantial indemnity costs against Mr. Miguna in the total amount of $89,243.00.
[5] Mr. Miguna appeals these orders and seeks to have the two actions reinstated except as against the defendants the Attorney General for Ontario and Legal Aid Ontario.
[6] For the reasons that follow, I would allow the appeal, set aside the order striking the statement of claim in the action against the Crown and police defendants (except with respect to the Attorney General for Ontario and Legal Aid Ontario), and grant the plaintiff leave to amend. The appeal from the order striking the claim in the second action against Her Majesty the Queen is dismissed. The cost order falls with the granting of the first appeal.
The Action Against Her Majesty the Queen
[7] The action against Her Majesty the Queen is a nullity because it was not commenced in compliance with s. 7(1) of the Proceedings Against the Crown Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.27. That section provides that no action may be commenced against the Crown without sixty days prior notice having been given. Here, the Crown was provided with notice of intention to sue on September 1, 2004. The statement of claim was issued on September 13, 2004.
[8] As a result of the failure to comply with these requirements the action is a nullity and was properly struck. The appeal in this respect must therefore be dismissed. The Action Against the Crown Attorneys and Police Defendants
[9] On a motion to strike a pleading pursuant to Rule 21 of the Rules of Civil Procedure the facts as pleaded in the statement of claim must be taken to be true, although allegations of assumptions and speculation need not be accepted as such: see Operation Dismantle v. The Queen, [1985] 1 S.C.R. 441 at 455. Where malice is alleged, full particulars must be provided: Rule 25.06(8). For a claim to be struck, it must be “plain and obvious” that no cause of action is disclosed: Hunt v. Carey, [1990] 2 S.C.R. 959.
[10] In Nelles v. Ontario, [1989] 2 S.C.R. 170, and later in Proulx v. Quebec (Attorney General), [2001] 3 S.C.R. 9, the Supreme Court of Canada emphasized that the threshold for Crown liability for prosecutorial misconduct is very high. This is – as Binnie and Iacobucci JJ. said in Proulx at para. 4 – “so as to deter all but the most serious claims against the prosecuting authorities, and to ensure that Crown liability is engaged in only the most exceptional circumstances”. At para. 8 they added, “[a] failed prosecution does not without more – much more – give rise to a viable claim for prosecutorial wrongdoing”. In Nelles, Lamer J. expressed the view that the availability of the Rule 21 motion to strike a claim as disclosing no cause of action would serve as a healthy brake on such actions (p. 197). At p. 199 he said:
There is no doubt that the policy considerations in favour of absolute immunity have some merit. But in my view those considerations must give way to the right of a private citizen
to seek a remedy when the prosecutor acts maliciously in fraud of his duties with the result that he causes damage to the victim. In my view the inherent difficulty in proving a case
of malicious prosecution combined with the mechanismsavailable within the system of civil procedure to weed out the meritless claims is sufficient to ensure that the Attorney General and Crown Attorneys will not be hindered in the proper execution of their important public duties.
[11] Thus there exists a narrow exception to the Crown’s immunity from suit for prosecutorial misconduct in cases where “the prosecutor acts maliciously in fraud of his duties with the result that he causes damage to the victim”. Whether that narrow exception is confined to the tort known as “malicious prosecution” is not clear from the authorities. But one thing is clear: however the claim is framed, the Crown’s conduct must rise to the level of malice. Malice is defined for these purposes as “a deliberate and improper use of the office of the Attorney-General or Crown Attorney, a use inconsistent with the status of ‘minister of justice’” and one in which the defendant “perpetrated a fraud on the process of criminal justice and in doing so has perverted or abused his office and the process of criminal justice”: Nelles, at 193-194. No action lies against a Crown Attorney for prosecutorial misconduct that sounds in negligence.
[12] There is a claim in law against the police for negligent investigation, however: see Beckstead v. Ottawa (City) Chief of Police (1997), 37 O.R. (3d) 62 (Ont. C.A.); Hill v. Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police Services Board, [2005] O.J. No. 4045. As well, police may be liable for independent torts committed during the course of their duties, such as false arrest, false imprisonment, and assault and battery.
[13] The issue here is whether Mr. Miguna’s statement of claim discloses permissible causes of action against the Crown Attorney defendants and/or the Police defendants, or whether, if leave to amend is granted, the statement of claim could do so. We must be satisfied that the motion judge erred in the exercise of his discretion not to permit leave to amend, before we can interfere.
[14] By any standards, Mr Miguna’s statement of claim is not well pleaded. He is claiming $17.5 million in damages and alleging the gravest of allegations against the Crown Attorney and Police defendants. Yet, instead of focusing his claim and the factual assertions supporting it on the few bases that may be open to him, he has taken the scattergun approach and raises – according to the respondents’ count – somewhere between sixteen and twenty-five causes of action. These include: malicious prosecution, breach of Charter rights, prosecutorial misfeasance (abuse of process, abuse of power), negligent investigation, conspiracy, fraudulent misrepresentation, unlawful arrest and detention, assault and battery, defamation, incompetence, recklessness, wilful blindness, racial profiling, interference with bodily security, cruel unusual and oppressive treatment, and breach of trust. [15] In addition, Mr. Miguna’s statement of claim confuses the need to plead the material facts relied upon – and in the case of malicious prosecution, the need to do so with full particularity – with the view that superimposing pejorative adverbs or adjectives one upon the other is a suitable substitute for pleading facts. For example, each of the Crown Attorney defendants is repeatedly alleged to have “negligently, incompetently, unethically, recklessly, and unprofessionally” (and, occasionally, “arrogantly”) engaged in various types of impugned activities. But the pleading is very sparse when it comes to setting out material facts in support of the sweeping allegations made.
[16] Having said that, however, the statement of claim does contain some basis for alleging the core causes of action that are asserted, and in my view, Mr. Miguna should be given an opportunity to amend to make out his case properly on a pleading basis. For instance, he alleges that:
a) he was arrested without reasonable cause and without the police having conducted a proper investigation on both November 4, 2002 (at his law office) and July 14, 2003 (at the courthouse);
b) both arrests were made publicly with a view to embarrassing and humiliating him in front of staff, professional colleagues, the judiciary, members of courts administration and the public;
c) the July 14 arrest was carried out in full public view, and on the instructions of the Crown, notwithstanding that Mr. Miguna and his lawyer had only four days previously attended at the police station in response to an indication that the police had been looking for him;
d) Crown Attorney Shallow directed the police officers to have Mr. Miguna arrested;
e) the trial judge acquitted him because, amongst other things,
(i) the police failed to conduct a full investigation and to interview important witnesses,
(ii) he was suspicious the complainants had a common motive to implicate Mr. Miguna, and
(iii) he found Mr. Miguna to be a credible witness; in addition, the trial judge also alluded to the fact that Mr. Miguna was arrested on July
14, 2003, “despite offers by Mr. Miguna and his counsel to present himself to the police prior to that date”; f) Crown Attorney Shallow, alone or with the other defendants, sent fake clients to Mr. Miguna with the aim of entrapping him;
g) Crown Attorney Shallow continued to prosecute him when he (Shallow) knew or ought to have known that the complainants had falsely accused Mr. Miguna, misrepresented facts and evidence to the Ontario Court of Justice, interfered with witnesses, concealed evidence from the defence and the Court and counselled witnesses to commit perjury;
h) Crown Attorney Braley engaged in activities similar to those outlined in
(g) above;
i) both Shallow and Braley participated in causing the venue of Mr. Miguna’s trial to be changed from the Ontario Court of Justice at 1000 Finch Ave. to the Court located at College Park in downtown Toronto with the intention of further injuring his professional reputation;
j) all individual defendants participated in racial profiling against him;
k) the Police defendants failed to investigate the complainants’ allegations against him prudently and to follow up where required, continued with the prosecution when they knew or ought to have known there was no reasonable basis for it, participated in the presentation of false evidence, failed to make full disclosure, and withheld evidence; and
l) he was assaulted by the police and subject to an illegal strip search during his detentions.
[17] These are very serious allegations, and are, of course, only allegations at this stage of the proceedings. Mr. Miguna fails to establish them at his peril in terms of costs and, possibly, his reputation. For the most part, the allegations are pleaded in an unacceptably bald fashion. However, if appropriately supported by material facts, and proven, they – and other facts pleaded – could support claims for malicious prosecution, breach of the Charter and misfeasance in public office as against the Crown Attorney and Police defendants, and as against the Police defendants alone claims for negligent investigation, unlawful arrest, false imprisonment, and assault and battery. In my view, the plaintiff should be entitled to one more chance to attempt to plead these claims properly.
[18] At the same time, it is appropriate to reiterate at this point the observation of Dickson J. in Operation Dismantle, supra, at p. 455 that “allegations based on assumptions and speculation” need not be taken as true, because it would be improper to do so, as they are incapable of proof. Mr. Miguna must have knowledge of the facts supporting his claims and not merely plead allegations that he believes may or may not be true. Rosenberg J. put it this way, in Region Plaza Inc. v. Hamilton-Wentworth (Regional Municipality) (1990), 12 O.R. (3d) 750 (H.C.J.) at 757:
. . . If the plaintiff does not at the outset have knowledge of the facts that give rise to the conclusions of malice, breach of duty, conspiracy to intentionally injure, etc., then it is
inappropriate to make these allegations in the statement of claim. It may be that in the future the plaintiff will determine facts as a result of discovery or in some other way that will
support some or all of the allegations. . . [B]ut until the plaintiff has knowledge of some facts on which to base the conclusions alleged in the statement of claim, it is improper to
allow these conclusions to be pleaded baldly and without any supporting facts.
[19] The motion judge accepted the respondents’ arguments that the statement of claim in its entirety was deficient, as several torts alleged were unknown to law, Her Majesty, the Attorney General and the Crown Attorneys were immune from suit with respect to others that were raised, and sufficient facts were not pleaded to support the claims that could be asserted in law. In spite of these factors, it seems that the motion judge, himself, was of the view that the deficiencies might be cured by amendment with respect to the permissible causes of action. He concluded, however, that he should exercise his discretion not to grant leave to amend. His exercise of discretion was based upon the following considerations:
a) the appellant had been made aware of the deficiencies in the pleading and had had ample opportunity to amend, but had not done so (and the proposed amended statement of claim presented at the hearing was deemed to be similarly deficient);
b) the appellant had committed a grievous error in misrepresenting the reasons of the trial judge at the criminal trial on the charges of sexual assault; and,
c) the appellant had made bald allegations of racial profiling,which amounted to a serious abuse.
[20] Respectfully, the motion judge erred in principle in refusing to grant Mr. Miguna leave to amend his statement of claim for the foregoing reasons, in the circumstances of this case. He placed too much emphasis on what he perceived as the appellant’s failure to move quickly to deliver a proper amended statement of claim, in the face of the respondents’ criticisms of his pleading, and he appears to have reacted so as to punish Mr. Miguna for his erroneous characterization of the reasons of the trial judge at his criminal trial and for his allegations of racial profiling. These are factors that might well attract cost consequences as a sanction, but they do not justify a refusal to grant leave to amend in the circumstances.
[21] The plaintiff’s pleading is bald and wanting in supporting material facts. The factual assertions gleaned from the statement of claim and outlined above, however – together with certain others not mentioned – if proved, could give rise to the essentials of the causes of action also summarized above. Those claims, at least, are not claims that Mr. Miguna is forbidden by law from asserting.
[22] Of the three principal grounds relied upon by the motion judge for declining to grant leave to amend, the fact that the allegations are bald is not, in itself, a basis for refusing leave. It is only where it is clear that the plaintiff cannot allege further material facts that he knows to be true to support the allegations that leave to amend will be refused. While it may turn out that such is the case here, I am not satisfied at this stage that that is necessarily so.
[23] There was much debate at the hearing about the motion judges’ first basis for declining leave, namely the notion that Mr. Miguna had had ample opportunity to attempt to correct the deficiencies in his statement of claim but had refused or failed to do so. The motion judge was very impressed with the factums of the Crown defendants and the Police defendants that were filed before him – he relief upon them very heavily – and was of the view that anyone reading their detailed critique of the statement of claim would have been aware of the weaknesses in it and would have taken steps to correct them. While the motion judge was entitled to be impressed with the factums filed before him, as they were excellent factums and undoubtedly very helpful to him, it does not follow that they were necessarily instructive to the opposing pleader as to how to redraft the pleading. In any event, the time delay was nowhere near, for example, the nine months that was involved in Wilson v. Toronto (Metropolitan Police Service), [2001] O.J. No. 2434 (S.C.J.) on which the motion judge relied. Here, the delay was only approximately two and a half months. I note as well that this was the first time his pleading had been considered by the court. [24] Finally, I do not think it was permissible for the motion judge to overreact – as he seems to have done – to the misstatements admittedly made by Mr. Miguna in his statement of claim respecting the trial judge’s reasons for acquittal and to the allegation of racial profiling. Both are ominous allegations, and it is true, as the motion judge observed, that the trial judge did not state the defendants had acted maliciously or were actuated by malice, or find that a conspiracy existed, or find that anyone had lied – all of which the pleading suggests. However, the test for granting leave to amend a pleading is not whether the pleader should be punished for previous misstatements or for making serious but bald allegations; rather, the test is whether the amendment can properly be made without prejudice to the other side. Here, there is no prejudice to the respondents in permitting Mr. Miguna an opportunity to rescue his statement of claim by properly pleading the facts within his knowledge relevant to the causes of action available to him that do exist in law.
Disposition
[25] For the foregoing reasons, then,
a) the appeal with respect to the dismissal of the action against Her Majesty the Queen (action No. 04-CV- 275438CM1) is dismissed;
b) the order of Paisley J. dismissing the action against the Crown Attorney defendants and the Police defendants (action No. 04-CV-272928CM1) is set aside, except with respect to the defendants Attorney General of Ontario and Legal Aid Ontario; and,
c) the plaintiff is granted leave to deliver a fresh statement of claim, within 30 days of the date of this order.
d) The order of Paisley J. fixing costs is set aside.
[26] Even if Paisley J. had made the order I would now make, striking the statement of claim with leave to amend, the respondents would have been entitled to partial indemnity costs of the motion before him. I would award the respondents costs of the motion before Paisley J., on the basis of a motion to strike with leave to amend, payable on a partial indemnity basis and in the cause.
[27] In view of the indulgence being granted Mr. Miguna, I would not award any costs of the appeal.

the fact that the luos warship RAO , miguna should not portray him as opportunistic . When he was fighting for the liberation from within people like miguna were no where around. Not only that Miguna had to wait things go sour before he could write his nonsense . Infact miguna had his own mission in the PM office of tanishing the pm ‘s office. He was not working for the PM or kenyans. Iam sure he was more of a hypocrite or a hyena in the sheep’s skin. To hell with his book. But still let come what may RAO will never loose crip and followers from his luo community
DPP orders Police boss to summon Miguna
Posted Monday, July 16 2012 at 16:41
The Director of Public Prosecution has asked Police Commissioner Matthew Iteere to summon Miguna Miguna to record a statement over his claims to have evidence on Kenya’s post-election violence and ICC trials.
Speaking at the launch of his book, Peeling Back the Mask, on Saturday, Mr Miguna said he was privy to the ODM campaign strategies and was present when the party declared that the 2007 General Election was a contest of 41 tribes against one.
“I can take every leader to The Hague, they should actually kiss my feet… They actually begged me to go back to office when they knew that I could spill the beans,” he said in Nairobi.
ESTHER ARUNGA Part 2: Dr Frank Njenga forcefully aborted her under political orders
First of all, Kenyans must be made aware that there’s no relationship between Esther Timberlake and Joseph Hellon. He’s been walking from media house to media house advertising and misleading Kenyans that Esther is his relative. She comes from Karachuonyo and he originates from Rongo. There’s no connection between them whatsoever!!!!!
Finally, the much talked about lawsuit preparation against one psychologist Dr Frank Gitau Njenga is now here. Dr Njenga is the Director of the National Campaign against Drug Abuse (NACADA). The investigation has finally been completed and compiled by an international advocate company here in Australia because Esther is also of interest to Australia’s well being. An announcement will be made as to whether the case will be opened at the international court or in Kenya.
Proctor & Associates Solicitors & Barristers, the acting law firm, is based at Parramatta in Sydney. They can be found at: http://www.proctorlaw.com.au
For the past 2 years they’ve been conducting their own private investigations after they took over from MANN advocates based in Upper Hill in Kenya. They worked jointly with private investigators, Charlie’s Angels Consultants based in Melbourne. The Kenya Police has tried fruitlessly to contact and retrieve the findings of Dr Njenga’s interrogation.
These are the shocking revelations that have been unearthed. It all began when Kenyan CID police invaded a villa in Runda where Esther Timberlake was renting a servant’s quarter. Over 50 CID policemen, all armed with AK 47 rifles, sniffer dogs and anti-narcotics machines accompanied by banking fraud unit and the so called cult squad were involved in the raid. They surrounded the Runda house with about 30 police cars with a police chopper hovering over the compound and top officers breaking into the house.
They did not bring with them any female officer and yet they forced themselves into Esther’s SQ and molested her. They spent about half an hour in the room. 2 officers took advantage of the reckless and unwarranted raid and sexually molested Esther. They then took her away.
She was separated from Quincy and they were taken to different stations at 2:30 am on Sunday.
The previous day, Esther’s father and his troupe of 23 family members and friends also raided the Runda house. Esther’s dad could be heard quoting threatening speeches in their local dialect which is Luo. He was heard saying, “to omera nyathini kethona gik mang’eny, ma e kama de an gi bunde to abiro godo tieko Quincy no.” Which when translated means, ” people this child is compromising lots of things and putting them at risk, I wish I had a gun I could come back here to terminate that Quincy.”
The team consisted of Henry Ndombi, the then Director- Special Crimes Unit. Others were Alphonce Lumosi, Samuel Chumo (Asst Commissioner of Police), Inspector Kathurima and others. They broke into the house and arrived with no warrants of arrest. The first question that came out of the Ndombi’s mouth was, “who is Quincy and who is Esther?”
Then Ndombi asked Esther, “Why did you speak those words on Jeff Koinange’s show?”
After the arrest, Esther spent her night at Muthaiga police station. She was then driven to CID HQs the next day for questioning. Quincy was brought in from Pangani police station to the CID HQs. The interrogation turned into forceful confessions mounted with threats. Quincy was called in front of Esther into a private room and asked, “are you ready to follow our demands?” Ndombi went on asking, “who do you think you are to come from nowhere and get into a circle of the haves while you’ve got nothing?” Quincy remained quiet. Quincy was told by Ndombi, “from now on we do not want to see you speak with Esther!” Quincy had no option but to agree to their demands.
They were then taken back to their cells at the CID HQs. Soon, nearly half of Esther’s relatives arrived at CID HQs including Kenya’s ambassador to Egypt Mr. David Arunga who is Esther’s uncle. Quincy and Esther were then called back into the interrogation chambers. They were surprised to see almost a whole family inside the room.
The first question that Ndombi asked him was, ” Quincy, that is Mr David Arunga and he could be your future in-law.”
“Are you ready to face holocaust just to have Esther?” Quincy agreed.
Ndombi turned to Esther, “Esther, are you ready to go through a tough ordeal for Quincy?” Esther also agreed.
He went on…”Esther, reports from the Interpol we have now show Quincy is an international level criminal! He’s just stolen $70,000,000. He is a gangster. Are you ready to marry a gangster on the run?” Everyone wondered because no one has ever stolen that kind of money single handedly and especially in France as the CID claimed. That was impossible. When interpol was later consulted over that report, they refuted the claims and denied having such complaints in their file reports.
Ndombi and others then left Mr Arunga and the rest to harass Quincy. It was a mess. While they were out, Esther’s family asked for Quincy to be handcuffed for security concerns. Lumosi handcuffed him and left the room. Little did they know what was coming next. The family then pounded on Quincy with fists and slaps. The women assaulted Quincy with their handbags. It was a brutal scene. He was later returned to police station. Esther was also returned to Muthaiga station.
The next morning, Esther and Quincy were again driven to the CID HQs. Kathurima took charge that day. He came in with plain papers and forcefully asked Quincy and Esther to confess for being together. Which they did. Quincy was again called to do a second confession and these were the words from Ndombi to be repeated by Quincy.
“Quincy, you must repent and swear. This is the top pillar of investigations in Kenya. I want you to swear.” He even asked Lumosi to handcuff him again.
Repeat the following words… I Quincy Timberlake, I repent today to God and the State.For dating Esther ArungaI will never date her again.Today is the last eye contact I am having with her.I have no right to date her.Should I be seen with her again, that shall be the day I’ll see Karura with my eyes and my body would be fed to animals. Oh god help me, Amen.
After that Esther was quickly taken to a Land Rover which was waiting outside at around 8:00 PM. She was promised she was being taken to Kileleshwa police station. But that was just the beginning of the drama.
Esther was to see the shock of her life. The Land Rover diverted and took Esther towards Limuru Road, there was no Kileleshwa. Esther was then handed over to a black Range Rover with heavy built men. The car was in between 4 cars which were packed with thugs dressed expensively. They hand cuffed and blindfolded Esther and threw her into the boot of Range Rover.
The men began asking her in Swahili, ” wewe ndiye unataka kuwa VP?”, they asked. “Sasa tutakufundisha adabu”.
They went on and on with some furious words, “sisi sote hapa leo tunakunajisi”.
They turned the convoy towards Bata Shoe Factory road. The convoy was cruising and all Esther could hear was people arguing whether to terminate her or not.
This is where Esther met Dr Franklin Njenga waiting. Esther was then forced into Njenga’s car where she was driven back to Nairobi and ended up at 37 Muthangari Road. This is where all inhumanity and hell broke loose. On arrival, Esther was rolled in a black hood. That was around 3:00 am. She saw her father signing that she be sedated. It was the most painful thing a parent could do. Dr Njenga then told Esther, “I know you’re very well but you must be taught a lesson for embarrassing a cabinet minister and ODM.” It was a horrendous period.
After about four days, Esther tried to escape by jumping over the electric fence into Thessalonica Apartments. It was about 7pm when she made her daring escape. Unfortunately the watchman saw her and took up chase, shouting as he went after her. As she scaled the fence, the electric wire burnt her hands but she did not care. The watchman caught her foot but she kicked his hand and was free. She ran to the first apartment where she met two Ugandan men who refused to help her. Instead they went and called management. Esther ran and hid under a 4 wheel drive. After hours of searching for her she was finally found. When she realised she had been caught, she tried to run. The nurses, led by a burly man named Joseph, chased her through the apartment complex, finally trapping her near the pool side. Joseph pounced on her, held her down like an animal, drew her pants down in front of 5 other male nurses and brutally drove a long needle into her thigh. Esther passed out. When she woke up (she did not know how many days later), she was at Chiromo Medical Centre, a place reserved for seriously psychotic patients, with maximum security. At night she was forced to take a concoction of pills and was injected with heavy doses of lagactil. She could hardly stay awake due to the sedation.
One day, a physical examination was conducted and it was discovered that Esther was pregnant. “there’s no way you’re carrying this thing in your womb..it must be deleted.” someone shouted. That same night, she was carried into something that looked like an operating room and the most painful part of her journey occurred. Esther wailed throughout the forceful abortion while under sedation. What people do not know is that according to medical practitioners, Sinclair is not Esther’s first born. Quincy and Esther’s first born was removed forcefully in early 2010 by Dr Njenga. The reports and video clips are with K & K Advocates. The clips were taken secretly by a fellow “patient” called Betty.
Media guru Jeff Koinange was phoned by Quincy from High Court premises with a request that he intervenes and help. The question is why would Quincy refer to Koinange for assistance while his “confidantes” were around. That remains an unresolved puzzle and it confirms that he did not trust the friends he had during that time. Koinange is still thanked for his fruitful efforts to save Esther. He phoned several points of interests to rush and rescue. It is indeed Jeff Koinange who led trusted companies to where Esther was being tortured by simply phoning. Without Koinange’s help, Esther might have died.
Esther then escaped into a car which was waiting by and was taken to hospital. When the doctors saw her poor condition and heard what had happened to her, they issued her with complaint letters and advised her to sue everyone who had been involved in putting her through the horrendous ordeal. Through lawyers Harun Ndubi and MANN Advocates, Esther began proceedings. Little did she know that her parents would be caught up in the suit as they had been involved in the dirty game. After discharge from hospital, Esther consulted her husband over the matter. We later learnt that it was Quincy who convinced Esther to drop the charges entirely since her parents were involved. He advised Esther to take her time and conduct thorough research as a solicitor and seek ways of suing Dr Njenga on his own without attaching her parents.
In January last year, Esther & Quincy drove to Kileleshwa to meet Esther’s parents. There Esther apologized and sought forgiveness. She was forgiven but her parents insisted that if she was to come back to “Wene Ndalo” fold, she was to drop Quincy as a husband. Esther found this too difficult to do and decided to flee permanently. Esther confirmed with us that she had no intentions of filing a suit against her parents. She however intended to sue Dr Njenga in person because he had been in a position to advise her parents that she was okay and needed no psychiatric intervention. However because he was greedy, he went ahead and danced to their tunes. Esther says she’s also filing suits against “The Star” and “Word Is” publications. We’ve conducted research and come up with enough evidence to get money from the company that insures the publication. Unless they come up with enough evidence to support their hate driven campaign through their articles, which were aimed at psychologically frustrating the Timberlake family, then they’re the first tabloid to face their wrath through a lawsuit. We, through the Kenyan law firm will request on Esther’s behalf a letter from “The Star” and “Word Is.”

I,as a true,learned and independent kenyan,deserve and have a right to truthful information.Kudos to Miguna Miguna…..’ukweli usemwe!’
A SHOCKING letter to RAILA Odinga from ESTHER Arunga ….. Long but worth
AN AJAR LETTER TO THE RT. HON. THE PRIME MINISTER RAILA ODINGA AND THE ODM BRASS.
Usually when one is engaging in correspondence, you expect them to commence with meticulousness and niceties, I will skip all that because for all intents and purposes, this is not a note to find out how the Prime Minister @OdingaRaila is doing because oh yell, I KNOW how the Prime Minister is doing! I will instead cavort to the tickled pinks of this correspondence and address the reason behind my taking precious time to commit to composing for the Rt. Hon. PM, a missive which he might never pore over anyway. You might be in consternation as to why I am procrastinating, wasting your time and mine. Just remember that we the youth of the Great Lakes region are mounded with discomposure against it’s ruling guard. Those people around must be targeted now and be melted away as candle wax.
Let us get to the inventory of this letter. First of all those people deemed responsible for purposes of propelling the agenda of the party have no idea what the party is about. All they do is engage in chest thumping. While other parties are out recruiting members, our party officials are busy plotting how they will get direct nominations come the next general election. If they are not doing that they are busy looking for ways to get close to you for the selfish reason of clinching favors. I have no idea what these favors always are but I can confirm that people surrounding you come out questionably rich and politically strong. Look at Caroli Omondi who at one time dared ask me to quit KTN and work for UNHCR in Daadab voluntarily as a legal consultant, really, I am not insinuating anything here!
ODM should not underrate Miguna’s complaints simply because there’s hate. It’s opprobrious, leave Miguna out of this and prove wrong the finger pointers by appending and circumventing those named personalities from any elections until proven not guilty. They also lacerated us. I can remember at Nyayo House my husband was locked up with no food for days, and then handed over to Kileleshwa Police Station with no charges. If I am misleading then let the OB dated 1st April 2010 be brought to light. No charges were tagged to my husband’s name. He was illegally locked until the OCPD of Kilimani intervened and asked the immigration to repatriate him from there. All these acts show Kenyans that ODM is a vengeful party with anger they have kept for decades awaiting full blown retaliation. Rt Hon PM, kindly, these hooligans in the name of “waheshimiwa” must go.
Those hooligans who enact in the name of defending PM’s name, kindly crack a whip right now. You’re not a regional President but a nation’s president in waiting, if you play your cards well and listen to grievances down the river. All the people or hit men who tortured and continue to torture us must be brought to book. They must tell Kenyans why we’re always the victims of circumstances. Why are we being banned from stepping on Kenyan soil, we’re Kenyans and deserve the right of political freedom of expression!
Truth be told Rt. Hon., let’s make it clear at this point; I’ve been a dyed-in-the-wool member of the party. I’ve served in the party for some years as a youth leader at a disclosed division in Nairobi. I’ve been involved in recruiting party members in the past. I’ve defended that party online and offline but still faced accusations of being a traitor. Now that we have that cleared, I am perturbed that a party that was just launched less than 6 months ago has more party members than ODM. It makes you wonder what ODM officials have been doing in those offices, down from the grassroots. This is how people at large view ODM’s landscape, there’s no freedom inside the pot.
This is why I call most ODM members at secretariat level vociferationists and people who engage in imaginary wars with imaginary foes to gander as if they’re working for the party while in the real sense they’re pushing their own selfish agendas. Party hypocrites successfully convinced the Luos working within the government circles to torture us in the name of having challenged you. ODM has no other choice but to extend olive branches and work with the former bulldogs like Messrs Ruto, Balala, Mudavadi and others.
In the wake of the latest headlines and happenings in the party, where we are having massive exodus, I wonder and pose a question to you Bwana PM, what is happening? I know people have a tendency of asking too much from you: from ministerial positions to direct nominations; to settle squatters and even kick ex-presidents from water catchment areas, but it is about time you got a way of reigning in party members who are responsible for misgestalting the party’s image. It has given other tribal chiefs a platform to caution their communities that ODM government could reign as a retaliation government. Again I know you have no reformatory to hold such people!
I am not sure what powers several non performing MPs incubate. I’d like to know because for real, they got into parliament by means of skewed nominations that the party effectuated in 2007, but these are eons ago. Why is ODM rocking it’s own boat from within? I say this with the Orange Youth Democrats League and Orange Women Democrats league elections in mind. Those in the know must be aware of what I’ve been talking about. Those so called ODM goons should stop tout de suite from featuring in committing sycophancy diseases especially in a scenario where my learned fellow Barrister Miguna Miguna was berated publicly. It pours cold nerve numbs to the citizenry with uncertain imaginations like “what if they clinched power today?”
It sends a bad dictatorial picturesque of a thug minded filled party while in reality, that may not be the case. Rt. Hon., avoid asking others who can’t work with you to rejoin you at the table, why do you keep ignoring the potential in your own youth??? Give youth in ODM a chance and you personally will be perplexed. Assure your voters they’ll be no direct nominations as gifts and awards to those who “generously contribute” towards the party’s kitty. Kick out lobbyists from your corridors, you’ll be safe. Give women a chance to rise up in the greater lake region. Install a system to caution and discourage the so-called ODM militia groups who will go out of their way to crush and kill other aspirants or political party members. Just like those ones who shot at us and forced us to flee Kenya. Just like those ones who attacked us during our campaigns in Kisumu.
Secondly, it is about time all those people who are prowling as ODM officials/members..especially on those social sites learned a thing or two on courtesy and politics 101; and move out of the comfort of their laptops and grace the party with serious recruitment. I am made to believe that our party ODM has been built up in the media but lacks the grassroots support that builds a massive political party. Having been involved in the affairs of the party before, (I can no longer hold my party positions since I am seeking a higher political post in Kenya), I believe that most of the youth who chauffeur this political party do not even own national identification cards.
The irony is that the ministerial position that is responsible for issuing ID’s is under ODM, another Minister who has failed in an epic way! He has earned a doctorate as my husband’s torturer! Other political parties must be given a genuine balanced arena and security to campaign in Nyanza without expectations of violence. Just as you Rt Hon PM freely roam other greater vote basket regions without opposition. This way, you’ll regain the trust temporarily lost.
Otieno Kajwang’ who TORTURED my husband in the name of Immigration charges can sing his “mapambano” tunes but has failed as a party’s top minister, youth misery alleviater and to worsen the matter his constituency Mbita is one of the least developed. I hope he will not sing his way to the Senate as he sang his way to the legislative assembly. That remains a story for another day. It is a sad day for me to be an ODM segment, it is a sad time to imagine that you’re anywhere near the presidency unless you overhaul the secretariat. My 8 cent advice, take it or leave it, is that to regain some substantial stab at the presidency of this country then you must get rid of these sycophants, vultures and conglomerates.
This is as my fellow Barrister at Law Miguna Miguna would call them. Those who surround and want to use your name to attain power must be mushroomly uprooted, otherwise you will have no alternative but to retire with president Kibaki. My advise to you Mr Rt Hon PM, these vultures whom I’d faced for press briefings during my press interview takes had confirmed they were never loyal to you but for cornucopia!! You abandoned the loyal people and retained tapeworms who just but continuously suckle your kinetic energy. They owe you no loyalty in ODM. They’ve gagged the youth from Nyanza from take center stage politics. CIDs affiliated with ODM have been misused for selfish reasons, especially in the torture that we experienced for political expressions and bill of rights stamped on. “Mapambano” era has passed, tutapambana hadi 2090??
Let’s all kill this “mapambano” slogan and concentrate in refurbishing reality. He’s not yet constructed bridges connecting Rusinga Island and Mbita mainland. There are no modern ferries between Mfangano and Rusinga. Otherwise Rt Hon., you’ll wake to crude awe and shock that other parties sliced huge chunks of voters in the 2013 elections. Nyanza youths are discreetly getting recruited into several of these other parties while entertaining you during your trips to the region. Their hearts and loyalty are long gone and twisted. We from the Great Lakes Region languish behind other Kenyans in development records while we own vast wealth.
Nyanza produces the following:-
-Aegirine, Albite, Arfvedsonite, Baryte, Biotite, Calcite, Cancrinite, Eudyalite, Diopside, Flourite, Goethite, Forsterite, Wollastonite and Gold in general from Ruri, Huma, Buru-Kuge and Rangwe complexes. These are supposed to be earning youths in Nyanza some livelihood but it is the opposite. The minerals only benefit outsiders.
-Before 2003, Nyanza ranked as the world’s largest producer region of pyrethrum. This has since been taken over by Rwanda. What of cotton?
-Away from the Rift Valley, Nyanza should be the second largest producer of wind and solar energy. It should be the largest supplier of fresh water to the rest of Kenya. Youths should be hired with the latest know how in this industry to create jobs, zero!!
-Nyanza should lead by example to others as the inventor of rural home loans for youth to acquire loans and construct their permanent homes empowered with solar energy and fresh water boreholes. The loans can be repaid in installments of up to 25 years.
-A system could have introduced an RFID system shopping cards to empower rural shopping at low costs and bar the wealthy from accessing such shopping centers.
-China has overtaken Nyanza region as the world’s largest exporter of tilapia. Tilapia have been used as biological controls for certain aquatic plant problems. They have a preference for a floating aquatic plant, duckweed (Lemna sp.) but also consume some filamentous alga. In Kenya, tilapia were introduced to control mosquitoes which were causing malaria, because they consume mosquito larvae, consequently reducing the numbers of adult female mosquitoes, the vector of the disease (Petr 2000). . Hyacinth has killed tilapia production in Nyanza.
All these and other wealth resources shows that Nyanza is supposed to be Kenya’s 2nd bread basket after Rift Valley region. It means our people are supposed to be enjoying the same lifestyle as of Gatanga constituents.
In the 2007 election, we were made to believe that your ‘right’ to presidency of this country was stolen from you, I have no doubt in my mind that it happened. But let me not dwell there, for people will start importune questions which may turn to a bedrock of numb aghastness. In the atmosphere, you are as close to the presidency as you have never been, yet on the ground, you’re as far as you’ve ever been. You might even oversight the locowagon altogether! When I look around, I see that you’re missing the dots of what is factorizing you. I’ve been looking at the happenings within the so called ‘humongous’ party in Kenya today, but I am surprised you still live in the past to imagine that ODM is the largest party. Kindly, advise the opinion poll strategists to halt at once from those inconsistent ostentation of polls on TV.
It bedazzles to see today people like the former AG Amos Wako finds you credible enough to be his president! It bedazzles to see Maina Njenga with ‘all’ his ‘followers’ can only manage less than 500 votes in Kangema and you still hope that he has something to contribute to your presidency. It bedazzles that you ignore the snafus undertaking in party nominations, just a few to name, Kamukunji By election, The current MP Hassan who is there courtesy of PNU was an ODM member and Kajiado MP Ole Sakuda who is there courtesy of TNA was an ODM member! It really fogs how ODM nominations and elections are carried out. Where are the youth you promised freedom of expression because the ODM central committee lacks the faces of promising and loyally vibrant development conscious youths. Zero. ODM has lacked geopolitical application which Bill Clinton calls “arithmetic”.
This letter cannot end without placing my concerns for the upcoming nominations. It does scare me as an aspirant that I may spend all that wherewithal, time, energy and at the end I may not get free and fair nomination. I press upon you to put in place good party mechanisms that will ensure the nominations are free and fair. Though you’ve made this declaration, it has only been seen by other postulants as a road side promulgation. The youth who were hoping to join the party’s politics can now confirm it’s evident that ODM isn’t ready to hold, free, fair and credible nominations any day soon.
I urge you to please unfetter the gloms and busy bodies who roam by your side to create cornucopia and get political favors by associating with you. I urge you to closely take a look at your secretariat. We’re aware of people who have agitated and fought for other party manifestos in the past few weeks and are today well employed in your secretariat. It bedazzles Bwana PM.
Funnily enough the concerns herein are not mine alone. We’ve been strong defenders of ODM within the circles of credo and outside the spheres of the retium. But it comes to that point that someone has to stop being a blind sycophant and concentrate on pressing issues. This has been the sound of a many of us out here who would otherwise not have a platform to address you. Beware that in the coming months, these fatigued youths are planning a massive exodus unless otherwise.
You’re an assiduous man with limited time but kindly ensure you put a few of these things into consideration before the Orange Juice spills and turns into lemonade! Listen to the youth’s outcry, set down your shoe lace and help us build a nation we’d like to see. Thanks Rt. Hon. the Prime Minster though without niceties again.
Yours Sincerely,
Esther Timberlake
Candidate for Deputy President’s post
