A Plea From Jeff Mwangi Kwirikia Funeral Committee
Body to arrive in Kenya on Monday February 13th 2012
Jeff Mwangi Kwirikia died suddenly in Dal Ullensaker, Norway on January 31, 2012 after being knocked down by a hit and run car. He is the father of musician Stella Nyambura Mwangi aka STL among other children.
Jeff Mwangi Kwirikia was among 70 or so university students from the Nairobi and Kenyatta campuses arrested by the Moi-KANU regime in the wake of the abortive coup organized by junior members of the defunct Kenya Air Force on August 1, 1982. At the time of his arrest Jeff Mwangi Kwirikia was a third year student at Kenyatta University.
Jeff and his fellow students were warehoused for months at the filthy and overcrowded Nairobi Remand Home in August 1982 for several months. He was to be later jailed in March 1983 for six years along with Ephantus Kinyua, Thomas Mutuse, Francis Ongele Pala and Wahinya Boore. They were taken to the Kamiti Maximum Security Prison where they found the late Titus Adungosi, Oginga Ogego (who was to later serve as Kenya’s ambassador to the United States) well known historian Maina wa Kinyatti, Onyango Oloo, current UASU Secretary General Dr. Muga K’Olale, Omondi K’Abir, Opondo Kakendo among other political prisoners to be joined later by activists like Odenda Lumumba, Adongo Ogony, the late Karimi Nduthu, Kangethe Mungai, Mwandawiro Mghanga, Oduor Ongwen, Wafula Buke and dozens of others.
He left prison in 1986, having served his sentence with remission. In 1991 he was forced to seek political asylum in Oslo, Norway where he lived until his untimely demise. Among the other Kenyan exiles in Norway were Koigi wa Wamwere, Omondi K’Abir and briefly, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, Raila Amolo Odinga. Over the years, Jeff Mwangi Kwirikia worked as a tireless human rights campaigner with such bodies like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
The Kenyan community in Norway has worked very hard to assist his family with funeral arrangements including transporting his body back to his rural ancestral home in Maragua, Muranga County. The body is scheduled to arrive at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi at 0700 Hours East African Time on Monday, February 13, 2012 where it will be received by Jeff’s comrades, friends and relatives with patriotic songs, dancing and ululations befitting a true patriot.
In meantime relatives, comrades and friends of Jeff are meeting on a daily basis at the All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi and at his parents’ homestead to raise funds and finalize the ultimate homecoming of the fallen patriot.
We members of the Jeff Mwangi Kwirikia Funeral Committee are appealing to you, your friends and networks to assist us in whichever way you can to raise funds and other material resources to enable us to meet our goal in providing a decent and dignified send off for our departed comrade.

Mudavadi’s Presidential Ploy Has Silenced His Critics
The strategy has boosted Mudavadi's immage and confused enemy forces
Probably, the most effective propaganda ploy to have been manufactured by ODM’s strategists ahead of the General election is what can be called the “Mudavadi Presidential bait”. This bait has been swallowed by both important institutions and individual players in Kenyan politics. Rival political parties, the punditocracy, the anti-ICC turn-coats in the Uhuru/Ruto camp, Kenya Diaspora and sections of the “Wanjiku community” are all regurgitating “the new threat” being posed to Raila Odinga’s presidential bid by Musalia Mudavadi, the ODM’s Deputy Party leader.
ODM’s leadership should be elated with the efficacy of this ingenious politrick because when it was mooted late last year, the objective was not to divert the attention of enemy forces or confuse the public but to counter poisonous enemy propaganda that had began to undermine Mudavadi’s political standing, authority and influence within ODM.
It is informative that just before Mudavadi was catapulted into getting Raila to “quake in his boots”, Mudavadi’s arch rivals in the Luhya camp notably Moses Wetangula, Cyrus Jirongo and Eugine Wamalwa, had teamed up with opportunists in the Ruto/Uhuru/Kalonzo camp to undermine Mudavadi’s authority in order to try and replace him as the “King of the Luhya” in Kenyan politics.
The narrative was that with his “sycophantic loyalty” to Raila Odinga, Mudavadi was playing second fiddle instead of asserting his authority and building a stronger image as a national leader. Mudavadi’s critics opined that the DPM ought to abandon his traditional strategy of waiting on the wings to succeed his boss and, instead, enter the Kibaki succession contest by giving Raila a run for his money.
To hammer their point home, Mudavadi’s critics portrayed him as a perpetual weakling who was under the armpit of Raila, arguing that the Luhya ought to look away from Mudavadi if the community wanted to navigate their way to State House because Mudavadi was contented with being a big fish in a small ODM pond.
During the failed, Moi-engineered Uhuru Project in 2002, Mudavadi was Uhuru’s running mate and he joined the statistics of those who never made it to Parliament. When he crawled to ODM from KANU to re-invent himself politically, the prevailing political equation saw Mudavadi settle as Raila’s running mate in 2007. Mudavadi’s waiting game paid off because when the Coalition government was cobbled by Kofi Annan following the stealing of Raila Odinga’s Presidency, he was awarded the DPM’s post by dint of having been Raila’s running mate. Now that Mudavadi had once again settled down as Raila’s running mate in the Kibaki succession race, his detractors in the Luhya camp have been busy portraying him as a perpetual underdog who did not carry the presidential aspirations of the Luhya people.
The situation was further complicated by Luhya leaders whom, one after another, continued to present themselves as alternative leaders ready to go for the presidency if Mudavadi had decided to sleep on the job.
The impact of this critique was that the authority of Mudavadi within ODM began to wane as his “second fiddle image” in relation to Raila also began to take root among supporters who were buying the prevailing propaganda. Although his position as Raila’s deputy has never been challenged, the political implication of constant propaganda churned by his detractors is that Luhyas ought to postpone State House ambitions because Mudavadi is sitting pretty as a potential Vice president in the anticipated government of Raila Odinga. It is against this background that Mudavadi’s presidential bait may have been mooted within ODM’s inner circle.
How did Mudavadi hit the campaign trail for ODM’s endorsement?
The scheme began in Sirisia on December 23rd last year at the Khachonge home of Patrick Wangamati, the Chairman of Luhya Council of Elders who is reported to have endorsed Mudavadi as the sole Presidential candidate from Luhya land.
This endorsement, which was witnessed by Foreign Affairs Minister, Moses Wetangula, Minister for Forestry, Noah Wekesa, Vihiga MP Yusuf Chanzu and Shinyulu MP Justus Kizito, was apparently illegal because according to Joseph Wasilwa, a member of the Luhya Council of Elders, the endorsement was done without the knowledge or blessing of the Council. Wasilwa accused Wangamati of endorsing Mudavadi as top Presidential contender without consultation with the elders, alleging that Wangamati was exploiting his position as the Council’s Chairman to gain political mileage. Wasilwa was concerned that while endorsing Mudavadi single handedly, Wangamati had sidelined other presidential candidates from Luhya land.
Unfortunately, Wasilwa’s cry of foul play failed to gain recognition because of the diverse configuration of participants who also witnessed the Mudavadi endorsement. Among those present were elders from 18 Luhya sub tribes including the Teso, Sabaot, Kony, Ndorobo and Morimo while Dr. Machanja Ligabo, Chairman of Western Elders Advisory council is said to have attended one of the planning meetings to discuss “Luhya unity”, a euphemism which has become associated with Mudavadi’s endorsement. At the December 23rd meeting, both Mudavadi and Wetangula asked Wangamati to convene a meeting of all 24 MPs from Western province before Parliament reopens “to discuss unity” among the Luhyas. The meeting was also addressed by former Cabinet minister Burundi Nabwera who is also Chairman of Luhya Elder’s Forum.
A curious observation is that hours before he joined Wangamati to witness Mudavadi’s endorsement on December 23rd last year, Wetangula met fellow Cabinet ministers, Anyang’ Nyongo and Lands Minister, James Orengo for more than an hour at the Imperial Hotel in Kisumu to discuss an ODM-Ford-Kenya election campaign pact. Specifically, the agenda was for Wetangula to drop his presidential bid and instead, support Raila’s bid in a newly found cooperation between ODM and Ford-Kenya. Once the deal was sealed, Wetangula relocated straight to Sirisia, on time for Mudavadi’s “coronation”. Mudavadi’s presidential bid is therefore a carefully worked-out strategy which can only worry the man in the streets.
Politically, the close proximity between Wangamati, Wetangula and Mudavadi is based more on immediate political advantages rather than agreement in Party policies. Wangamati is eying the post of governorship in Bungoma county and by using his position as Chairman of Luhya Council of Elders to give Mudavadi an advantage over his (Mudavadi’s) rivals through endorsements, Wangamati is hoping that Mudavadi will reciprocate by supporting him for his bid for Bungoma governor. On the other hand, Wetangula is a politician without an Alliance and by being present when Mudavadi was apparently being endorsed as the Luhya Kingpin, the Foreign Affairs minister was sending the message that Mudavadi also needed to scratch his back by strengthening the nascent ODM-Ford-Kenya pact. If it sees the light of day, this pact is likely to give Wetangula a new role to play because the pact remains the only route through which Ford-Kenya can be included in the next government. Once he got a kick from Wangamati, Mudavadi hit the road for “his quest for Presidency” and there was no better ground to set off the campaigns apart from his own Party, ODM. In a public meeting attended by both Raila Odinga and Mudavadi, the two promised to support whoever is nominated as flag bearer of the Party. The “Mudavadi presidential bait” had been set in motion and it is doing quite well.
By going for the top seat, Mudavadi has achieved three objectives. He has silenced critics who have been attacking him as a weak politician always being led by the nose by Raila Odinga; destroyed the perception that he is a coward who is always satisfied with playing second fiddle; boosted his image by exploiting the confusion created by his Presidential ambitions to emerge as “a man of his own”. The strategy has even confused enemy forces currently dangling the carrot of support if Mudavadi can join them as a “compromise candidate”. In the meantime, Mudavadi’s new profile as Raila Odinga’s biggest challenger within the Party can be sold to the public as a sign of a well entrenched practice of internal democracy in ODM which should be emulated by all parties.

Memorial Service for Stella Mwangi’s Late Dad
Mwangi was cycling at the time he was hit
As police release the man suspected of running down Stella Mwangi’s father, a tribute was held in his memory today. Friends, family, and others gathered at the Norwegian Red Cross’ premises in Oslo to remember the 54-year-old at the memorial organized by the Kenyan Association in Norway.
Leader Fredrick Makosir told Dagbladet, “It’s a normal tribute without pomposity. They [his family] have lost a loved one in the worst possible way. It’s a tragedy. He was a good father figure who stood by the family’s side no matter how tough things were for him. He made sure the children were well-integrated without forgetting where they come from.”
Jeff Mwangi Kwirikia, father to Nairobi-born Norway Eurovision 2011 semi-finalist Stella Mwangi, died instantly after he was hit by a van in Akerhus County, Tuesday.
Initially a hit-and-run, the 39-year-old driver subsequently turned himself in to police two days later. He was indicted for manslaughter in connection with the incident. Officers started examining the van and premises after he showed them where it was parked.
The man has since admitted striking Mr Kwirikia with his vehicle but denies he is guilty of the charges. He was remanded in custody, Friday.
According to his defence counsel, Jørun Lægland, “The fact that a person is dead and that it is because he was hit by the car my client driving does not imply that there has been a punishable offence.”
Romerike District Police’s Jon Aga also informed NRK that the driver stated he did not have time to avoid the cyclist even though he was driving below the speed limit.
Officers had requested he be kept in custody for a week due to fear he may destroy evidence. Whilst their initial appeal against his release succeeded following the court’s ruling, he was let out of custody at the weekend.
“The accused has given officers another statement,” said Morten Huse of Ullensaker police on Saturday, “we have also conducted further witness interviews. His [the accused’s] explanation is largely consistent with other information pertaining to the case.”
Romerikes Blad reports approximately 100 people were present at today’s memorial containing music and pictures from Mr Kwirikia’s life. There were also several speeches, before the ‘Amazing Grace’ was played at the end of the tribute.
Mr Kwirikia’s funeral will be held in Ullensaker on Friday, after which he will be transported to Kenya for burial in keeping with his wishes.

MEMORY LANE: OCHUKA’S “INAUGURAL” SPEECH AUG 1982
An audio clip of the speech to the nation by Snr Prvt Hezekiah Ochuka, Chairman of the Peoples’ Redemption Council moments after he assumed the reign of the Republic in the early hours of 1st Aug. 1982 in a short-lived military coup. The “General” immediately decreed the release of all political prisoners & dispensed forthwith in seconds the old constitution. He also promised speedy economic emancipation, and swift power hand over upon free and fair election. This is all hypothesis but would the Junta have saved us all these relentless recovery & implementation efforts 30 years ago? PEV, Agenda 4, referendum, Watermelons, ICC, 2012 psyche? Most of us here if not all were still-born but what could this event retrospectively mean to the nation had it materialized? We all loathe Kifua take-overs of the inchi, but haven’t we also been subjected to the same albeit “civillian coup” over the last 30 years with as much ruthless results if not worst than uniformed coup? What’s the difference between dully “uharifu” night swearing on 30th Dec 2007 & Ochuka’s morning speech on Aug. 1982? .
Kibaki Should Not be Pushed to Endorse Raila for President
Raila can win the Presidency without Kibaki's endorsement
When President Mwai Kibaki was officially opening the Kisumu International Airport yesterday, there were calls by both Jackoyo Midiwo, Parliamentary Chief Whip, and James Orengo, Minister for Lands, that Kibaki endorse Raila for President. The proposal from the two speakers was that Kibaki should say “Raila tosha”, just like Raila did in 2002 before hitting the campaign trail to help Kibaki capture the Presidency. Despite the humble nature in which this request was presented, ODM politicians should stop asking Kibaki publicly to back Raila without first consulting with him privately.
On the contrary, Raila should fight it out through meticulous campaigns and convincing policies to win the Presidency. He should not be looking forward to Kibaki’s endorsement because ODM has declared that it is a democratic Party where all Presidential aspirants like Musalia Mudavadi will be given a fair chance to fight it out at ODM’s nominations for the top seat. If Kibaki accepts to endorse Raila, the move will be undermining the Presidential aspirations of other candidates and this may not auger well for internal democracy in the Party.
If Kibaki must endorse Raila, it should be out of his own volition, not through pressure carefully applied at public meetings. ODM politicians must learn to preserve their dignity because when they request Kibaki to endorse Raila and he declines, it is the faces of these politicians and Raila’s that suffers.
Currently, President Kibaki is very senile and this is evident when he talks in public where he sometimes mumbles incomprehensible sentences, much to the amusement of his audience. Under the circumstances, when he is asked to endorse Raila in public, he may not actually understand the question. Consequently, when he responds with his traditional mumblings, no one may really know whether he has answered the question according to how he perceived it or whether he just opened his mouth to speak because it was facing the microphone and he had to say something.
Another problem of requesting Kibaki to publicly endorse Raila is that such requests portrays Raila as a weak politician who could be banking on Kibaki’s endorsement for political advantage, an image that is not correct. Going by opinion polls over the last few years, both Raila and ODM remains the most popular Presidential candidate and Party. Raila does not, therefore, need Kibaki’s endorsement to win the Presidency. ODM politicians must keep off the cheap endorsement stunt because it is becoming embarrassing. When they open their mouths to make these absurd requests, the impression is that Raila may have requested them to do so. This impression could be demeaning in the eyes of Raila’s supporters.
In any case, how many times must Kibaki refuse to make the endorsement for “endorsement activists” within the Party to understand that he may not be interested in this cheap ploy?
Further, the sole reason why Kibaki has refused to sack Uhuru Kenyatta as Deputy PM following the ICC debacle is because he appointed him to that position because he viewed him as his possible successor. This was after Uhuru abandoned his KANU Party (where he remains the Chairman) to support PNU in 2007. For Kibaki, the Uhuru Project is not working because it has been scuttled by the ICC indictment. Kibaki is therefore a frustrated man at the moment and to have asked him to endorse Raila for President may have been a big insult.
ODM politicians must be strategic. If the Party is seriously seeking for Kibaki’s endorsement of Raila, it ought to employ a more structured approach towards the issue instead of opting for crude tactics in public. This could be done by seeking a private meeting with Kibaki to discuss the issue at length and convince the old man to buy the idea. Once he swallows the bait, the Party could then organize a public meeting in Bondo or Kisumu (home ground) where Kibaki could make the announcement.
Surprising Kibaki at an official public function to endorse Raila has failed on several occasions. In any case, such an endorsement could have far reaching political consequences for Kibaki as election campaigns take off. For this reason, such a request should not be left to chance after Kibaki is “cornered” somewhere in Kisumu city.
After stealing Raila’s presidency, it is natural that Kibaki owes Raila a favour. However, ODM politicians must remain sensitive to Kibaki’s circumstances and stop making requests crudely and without serious afterthoughts.
There should be no further endorsement requests without a strategy because Kibaki has shown that he is not willing to play ball. The fact that Raila said “Kibaki tosha” does not mean that history should repeat itself. ODM politicians should bank more on vigorous campaigns than begging Kibaki to endorse Raila at every opportunity. Raila has enough support to win the Presidency without Kibaki’s help. Although an endorsement could be a big boost to Raila’s campaign, Kibaki should be left alone to decide over the issue if he cannot be approached away from the public eye. This will spare ODM politicians a lot of embarrassing and theatrical moments in public.

Flashback: Ruto Says He Will Bite the Bullet if Evidence Implicates Him
At this point, Ruto was still attacking Waki for including his name in the Waki Report as he rubbished the same report at public rallies.
What Should Happen if Suspected Criminals Vie for Presidency?
The Republic should be dissolved; the State dismantled; the Constitution set ablaze
How the politics of deception is played in Kenya
With the ICC indictments, there is now one more reason why Kenya is a failed State. The country cannot try its own criminals who are officially suspected of having committed crimes against humanity. From public records, majority of Kenyans who notoriously violate the Constitution are either holding the levers of State power or walking the corridors of power. Secondly, majority of Kenyans who are known “to act with impunity” are not ordinary Kenyans but members of the ruling class, their cohorts, sycophants, acquaintances and side-kicks. The ICC indictment of the “Ocampo four” has now brought the country face to face, not with another imminent violation of the Constitution but possible rape of the new document. In the process of trying to square the circle, the politics of deception has risen to its highest apex ever.
Notably, the case of William Ruto has been very disappointing. This is because laden with the optimism a Kenyan can place on a young and energetic politician, the natural expectation is that Ruto would have proudly walked away from the traditional politics of untruths, fabrications and tribalism to that of statesmanship, patriotism and even revolution. Now, the ICC indictment of the Ocampo four has finally exposed Ruto and shattered his political career, probably for ever. At the ICC, Ruto is a suspect of crimes against humanity but in Kenya, his profile is increasingly assuming that of a political chameleon who constantly changes colours for political survival. He appeared to have been surviving just a few years ago but now, Ruto seems to be growing desperate.
Take the latest lie he is shamelessly peddling to the public – that PM Raila Odinga has fixed the “Ocampo four”. As this callous lie is being sold at hastily convened rallies organized at strategic voter-friendly points, the official record of the historic ICC debate, which eventually killed the idea of a local Tribunal, does not matter. This is regardless of whether this record exists on video or in print. It is pointless to repeat here that Ruto and Company opposed the setting up of a local Tribunal because the big question is why Ruto is denying the undeniable and transferring responsibilities to wrong locations.
To jog the memory, it took more than a year as Kenyans tried to set up a local Tribunal and when time ran out, Kofi Annan gave Kenyans another two extra months to try again. What did the likes of Ruto say? The answer is right here.
The bigger problem however, is not the Ruto denials but the legal status of the new Kenyan constitution which is also being violated in the situation. Assuming that Ruto had campaigned for a local Tribunal, and assuming that Raila did fix the Ocampo four, does that mean that the country’s new constitution cannot also be respected because the Ocampo four feels aggrieved?
When Ruto led a political camp that opposed the adoption of the new Constitution, decorum dictates that he ought to respect this constitution following its promulgation last year. A true democrat opposes an idea but if he/she loses after the majority vote has carried the day, the democrat concedes defeat then abides by provisions of what was put to the vote. This is the standard process in any functional democracy.
In the case of Ruto (and, by extension, Uhuru Kenyatta) he has refused to respect the Constitution which bars him from contesting the Presidency on account of his indictment at the ICC following strong evidence that he masterminded crimes against humanity during the post election violence. If Ruto is violating the Constitution at this early stage, what will he do with the document in case he ascends to power through some divine miracle?
After opposing the Constitution, Ruto is now seeking to rape the document. Luckily, there is a very strong opposition that will, hopefully, stop him (and Uhuru) before the two can defile a sacred document, a defilement which carries with it very serious consequences for the Republic as a whole.
Building a new Kenya if suspected criminals vie for presidency
For now, concerned Kenyans can only hope that William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta will fail in their mission, not because Raila (or anyone else) is fit to lead Kenya, but because if Ruto and Uhuru succeed in raping the Constitution; and with the kind of impunity the two suspects are exhibiting in public, the democratic gains of the last three decades of bitter struggle by the Kenyan people shall have been wiped out.
If this rape occurs and Ruto or Uhuru presents themselves as Presidential candidates, no Kenyan should ever value that piece of paper called the Constitution. If I were to make recommendations in the event of Ruto or Uhuru presenting themselves as presidential candidates, the Constitution should be torn into pieces and the pieces burnt to ashes.
In paraphrase, if the two suspects ever get a go-ahead from anybody or any Institution in Kenya to present themselves as Presidential candidates using whatever pretexts, every right thinking Kenyan who can get a copy of the Constitution should bring it to Uhuru Park (or freedom square or anywhere central) and set the document ablaze in a huge bonfire using the most inflammable brand of petrol available in Kenya. Why?
Even with the new Constitution currently in place, our country is recognized as a failed State and a banana republic to boot. This is one big reason why the Rutos could not be tried in Kenya, forcing ICC to take over the cases. If the two are allowed to rape the Constitution, there should be no reason why the country should not slide slowly towards anarchy. In fact, the argument for anarchy may be very strong. If the so called leaders cannot follow the rules agreed by the majority who are being governed, why should the majority follow the same rules in the interest of the leaders?
Obviously, a banana republic or a failed State is better than an anarchistic republic as recently witnessed in Iraq following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. In any case, Kenyans do not have to look far for a perfect example of the brand of chaos that can engulf the country if things go wrong because very few Kenyans have forgotten the post election violence. Should the country be held to ransom because of the fate of two suspected criminals who should have quit politics to address the bigger issues facing them? It is the duty of every Kenyan who loves the country to join the movement to stop these suspects right on their tracks.
Ruto and Uhuru ought to be preparing their defence teams, not creating tension in the country with talk about contesting elections. In other countries like the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, such suspects hide from public view as their hide-outs are sought with latest technology. It is anathema that in Kenya, these suspects are holding political rallies and threatening to seek high office, time when they talk freely about violating the Constitution as they are cheered by idle, drunken, corrupted, unemployed and brainwashed youths they call “supporters”.
If criminals suspected of having committed crimes against humanity are allowed to stand for Presidential election through bending of the rules by their contacts in government, my proposal is that the Republic of Kenya should be “dissolved”, the Kenyan State “dismantled”, the Constitution “set ablaze” and the country split into independent Provincial zones of Majimbo. The provinces can then govern themselves and provinces which can agree to follow a common set of rules (a new constitution) can then unite to try and build a new and democratic Kenya from scratch.
The risk is that in the absence of such an alternative, the country may have to prepare for a civil war because 40 ethnic communities will not accept to be ruled for ever by individual and corrupt members of two ethnic groups who seize State power by stealing elections, raping the Constitution or bending the rules at their pleasure.

Double Murder Update: Nyambu’s Verdict Delayed
The verdict against the woman in Sigtuna who killed her two children in September last year is delayed. The National Social Welfare Board will first have a further assessment of her mental status, writes Radio Stockholm. Previously, a psychiatric evaluation showed that the mother is mentally ill, but the National Board would like to get a ‘second opinion’ from their own specialist in forensic psychiatry. The investigation shall be completed on 8th March 2012, and only after that, can the Attunda District Court decide on the verdict.
