Tit-bits of Miguna’s “Explosive Book”
“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.

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

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.
