16 thoughts on “Martin Ngatia Says Raphael Tuju Cannot Lead Kenya

  1. Presidential Aspirant Raphael Tuju is morally accountable for the innocent people who died during the post-election violence in 2008. He had no sympathy for them and since he supported Kibaki’s stolen presidency, cannot be worthy of it now.

    He should also remember that people died in Kisumu in 2005 because he ordered the presence of 300 GSU when he and Karua held a Banana Rally to support the then fake Constitution which failed to pass.

    Foreign Minister Raphael Tuju said the government is committed to taking control.
    “If the tear gas doesn’t work then unfortunately they have to use live bullets,” he told CNN. “The president has been sworn in, the elections are over, the Kenyans have to accept the results, the opposition has to accept the results.”

  2. Mr Ngatia … You are a true teller and you enlighten the people of Kenya. But I think you should tell Kenyans then who is fit to lead Kenya. The leadership system of Kenya is backed up with politicians that are not willing to give way for the younger generation. Is Raila is the man for the job? I think No! the position he holds now should give him all the power he needs to change the country. To me the title president would not change a thing.

  3. Tuju’s Wife Implicated in Attempted Murder, After Alleged ‘Love Triangle’

    Party of Action (POA) Presidential candidate Raphael Tuju is pleading with police to spare his wife, Mercy, from an imminent arrest over allegations of attempted murder and kidnapping, but police insist that he should negotiate with the complainant to withdraw the accusations, sources said.

    The development is a culmination of a “Love Triangle” involving the Tuju’s, a former policeman, a private detective and a woman who is Mercy’s long-time buddy. Drama started when Mercy’s female friend introduced the former police officer to her friend “so as to assist him get re-instated to the police force,” according to sources.

    After a few meetings, a passionate affair blossomed between the two, who began regular ‘passionate meetings’ in a hotel in Nairobi’s South C estate. As the affair progressed, Tuju was informed about it and immediately hired a private detective who returned with explicit photos – confirming his paymaster’s worst fears.

    Irked, Tuju confronted the wife and demanded answers about the affair. Annoyed, Mercy began searching to establish the person who had set her up. Her main suspect was the female friend who had introduced the former policeman. According to a narrative pieced up by the police, Mercy hired goons who went after her friend.

    “They stabbed her at Bomb Blast Area and kidnapped her…,” police investigators said separately but consistently during interviews conducted by this website. The women was taken to a house in Hurlingham residential estate and after four days there, one of the kidnappers tipped off the police and reported the incident in exchange for immunity from prosecution should police decide to file charges.

    Police stormed the house, rescued the woman and arrested the kidnappers. They have all recorded statements. The rescued lady was then taken to the Nairobi Women’s Hospital, Adam Arcade Branch, where she was treated.

    Meanwhile, Tuju was then summoned and informed about the incident. He was also told that wife would be arrested to answer to the charges as sufficient evidence had been gathered..

    In that meeting with Nairobi Provincial Criminal Investigations Officer (PCIO) Peter Muinde present two weeks ago, Tuju was categorical, “ Kila Mtu aubebe msalaba wake-“ (Loosely translates to “ let everyone carry their own cross”

    Police then decided to arrest her on February 20, 2012 and arguing a link to politics, he pleaded for more time. For a week, there was no progress, until February 28, 2012, when he headed to police headquarters to plead for assistance to settle the case away from public limelight.

    Senior police officers reminded him of his previous position on the matter, to which he pleaded ignorance. At that point, police told him curtly: “The only path to ending this case is by talking and agreeing with complainant, no other way.”

    Contacted, Nairobi police boss Antony Kibuchi said, “am sorry,I don’t know this number, I cannot give information.”

    Kibuchi statement was given despite an official introduction by the caller on phone.

    Various Contacts in Tuju’s campaign remained mum over the matter.

    By the time we posted this story, there were no further developments on the case.

  4. Even at home, they are slaves of povertySHARE THIS STORY

    Migrant workers from Kenya who have had time to work in the Middle East are a crying lot.
    According to the Coast-based Muslims for Human Rights (Muhuri), there are more than 30,000 Kenyans working as domestic workers in the Middle East.
    The Executive Officer of Muhuri, Khalid Hussein, described the movement of Kenyans to the Middle East as human trafficking.
    “This is human trafficking because the girls are not allowed to negotiate for the jobs available in the middle East, they are just taken there and forced to work as domestic workers, mostly with no payment,” he said.
    Last year alone, there were seven Kenyans who died under the hands of employers in the Middle East.
    “This is according to the report we have about the suffering of Kenyans working in the Middle East,” he said.
    The human trafficking dilemma has affected girls, mostly from the Coast region.
    Programme
    Mr Khalid says his organisation has decided to provide unemployed girls with the right information lest they fall prey to human
    traffickers.
    Already, a prograqmme has been set up to ensure that girls who receive offers to work in the Middle East have read and understood the job description.
    He said several girls were not educated on the job description, and upon landing there, the employers take advantage of them and force them to work as house helps.
    “The procedure has been sucessful and several girls will now not accept to go and work as slaves if the job description is not on the initial appointment papers,” he said.
    Mr Khalid says the programme also educates the girls on the terms of payment, teaching them that the initial job offer must state the salary and agents fees and that they should not accept any less once they have started work in the Middle East.
    “Most agents intimidate the girls and demand more money from them. The initial job terms must be respected and money paid,” he says.
    He says Muhuri has started the Immigrant Workers Union to help educate Kenyans who are victims of slavery in the East.
    Mr Khalid claims that despite the suffering Kenyans in the Middle East, the Kenyan envoys in those countries have refused to assist victims.
    He claimed several girls have had their passports and other travelling documents confiscated and they only get them back when they are travelling back home.
    He says the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Kenya has been helping some of the girls but their efforts are frustrated by lack of information on the exact number of girls working in the Middle East due uncooperative agents.
    However, he claims several Kenyans have been killed by their employers in these countries and no action has been taken
    “The Kenyan envoys in the Middle East must wake up. Our people are suffering and the team is fast asleep,” he says.
    “Some Kenyans have died in these countries and Kenya must say no,” he said.
    Complexion
    Several girls were initially promised to be paid US$200 while in Kenya but once in the Middle East, most of them are paid about Sh10,000 per month.
    Mauwa Bakari, 26, was recruited as a personal assistant only to be turned into a house girl.
    Her first job as a house girl did not work out well and she was transferred to work in a house for an employer who would soil his clothes with semen and force her to clean them.
    The employer claimed, she was a slave due to her complexion.
    Mary Andeka Malungu, 34, was employed to work in Lebanon in 2010 as a house help on a promise of US$200 per month.
    On arrival in Lebanon, Ms Malungu was picked up from the airport by her sponsor and taken to the home where she worked as a house help.
    Within six months, she was transferred to three different houses and was never paid for her services.
    “I cannot explain how I went to work in one house and was later forced to work in three houses for the same pay” she said.
    Ms Malungu adds that was repeatedly mistreated by the Lebanese families she worked for.
    A month ago, Asha Nassoro Ali, from Likoni, sent a cry for help to her parents claiming something terrible was about to happen to her in Saudi Arabia.
    The 22-year-old who left for the Gulf in March this year said she being mistreated and forced to work for up to six households and that she was about to be sold out to a slave master in Dubai.
    “Mum, yesterday my boss asked me if I want to be sold or not. I fear he might kill me. It is God’s plan that I die in Saudi Arabia, there is nothing I can do,” she said during a brief telephone conversation.
    After the telephone call, the family tried to contact her but her she could not reached. The family now lives in anguish as they do no know if she is dead or alive.
    Millicent Anyango, 23, got a job to go to work in Dubai and worked out the process to get her passport and all the required arrangements.
    Later, an agent gave her a document to read and sign. She went through the document and listed certain conditions against her job description in Dubai.
    Later however, the agent told her that her job would be in Saudi Arabia and not Dubai.
    “I questioned the change. He said his client was looking for a Christian and that I now had to work in Saudi Arabia without giving details,” Ms Anyango says.
    She says that after she refused to travel to Saudi Arabia, the agent took her passport and school leaving certificates and he now cannot be reached.
    “I want my passport back, why is this agent holding my passport and education papers?” she asks.
    Mr Khalid says the programme run by Muhuri advises migrants to keenly study the conditions of their contracts and ensure their job descriptions are complied with the document.
    He asks agents to discuss the terms and job descriptions with employers and ensure the jobs offered in Kenya are the same offered in the Middle East.
