The article by Mr. Peter Njoroge could be an “eye-opener” to what happens in Narc-K Stockholm. Mr. Njoroge raises issues innocently without the advantage of background. In the process, he exposes the modus operandi of Narc-K Stockholm unconsciously. Let us examine some of the issues he brings to surface.
Mr. Njoroge says that when he asked why there were only Kikuyus present at the Narc-Stockholm meeting, he was told that ´´people were invited and everyone was welcome“. The truth is that only Kikuyus were invited to the meeting and what Njoroge could have done was to call some of his Luo, Luhya, Kalenjin, Kamba etc friends to find out if they had been invited.
In fact, members of the Kikuyu community who are known to take a stand against tribalism were also not invited to the meeting. A source which spoke to KSB and who was at the meeting as a Narc-Kenya supporter said that a member even asked why Pastor Beatrice Kamau had not been invited to the meeting. Pastor Kamau’s opposition to tribalism did not begin with her defection to ODM-Scandinavia and her failure to get invitation to the meeting was not strange.
Mr. Njoroge questions Pastor Beatrice’s membership in Narc-Stockholm and whether the Pastor had tried to address the issue of tribalism in the branch before she defected. This means that Mr. Njoroge is not aware that before Narc- Stockholm was set up, it was Pastor Beatrice who gathered Narc-K MPs at a dinner in Skarpnäck to plant the seeds of Narc-Stockholm.
The dinner was not organized exclusively to set up Narck-Stockholm but to expose Kenyans to the MPs and even ODM supporters were invited. It was after this meeting that Pastor Beatrice teamed up with one Narc Kenya sympathizer to discuss the possible formation of Narc-Stockholm. In fact, only two members of the current Narc-Stockholm line-up were at the meeting.
Within two days, the initiative had been hijacked by two Kenyans who hurried up a secret meeting in a house in Alby with the MPs and where invitation was through careful hand-picking. When Pastor Beatrice questioned the criteria of invitation, tribalists who had hijacked the MPs began to look at her with askance. It is at this point that leading and well known Kikuyu chauvinists were recruited into the Narc-Stockholm project, not just to begin an anti-Beatrice campaign but to design a strategy of kicking her out of the initiative because she was “dangerous”.
The ethnic foundation of Narc-Stockholm was eventually sealed when a “Kikuyu fundamentalist” declared before the gathering and in front of the MPs that Narc-K belongs to “The House of Mumbi”. Where was Mr. Njoroge or from his view, what does this statement mean? For those who were still slow in understanding the statement, the member also declared that those who had organized the meeting “should not apologize to anybody” for having organized the meeting as Kikuyus, prompting MP Alicen Chelaite to protest.
Chealite told the meeting that she was the MP of Rongai and that some of the Kenyans who elected her were Kikuyus. Chelaite’s intervention did not have any consequence because Narc-Stockholm initiative had already been taken over by Kikuyu chauvinists who also believe that Kenya belongs to Wakikuyu.
When the November 4th meeting came up, Pastor Beatrice was missing because the chauvinists did not want her “to rock the boat”. Njoroge’s article reveals that those around Narc-Stockholm are keeping their members ignorant about the brief Narc-Stockholm history and using deceit as a matter of survival.
For Mr. Njoroge, the Narc-Stockholm elections might have been “democratic”. What Njoroge and other innocent Kenyans slowly being sucked into the Narc-stockholm ethnic whirl pool is that Mr. Daniel Mwaura, the Narc-Stockholm Chairman, had already been “anointed” by MP Beth Mugo to lead Narc-Stockholm and that whatever happened at the “elections” on the 4th of November was a mere formality probably with members at the meeting not having been told of the dirty conspiracy.
In an email obtained by KSB, Mwaura wrote: “The assitant Ministers had special praises for Mr. Mwaura Njuguna who was officially crowned the Narc-Kenya Rep. in Scandinavia. Mr Mwaura was given a mandate to call the members again at an appropriate time to hold elections in order to fill all the posts”.
After the so called elections, Mwaura emerged as the Chairman because the elections had already been choreographed. In line with the fundamental principles of “The House of Mumbi” in Stockholm, The Chairman, the Vice Chairman, the Secretary, the Vice secretary, the Treasurer, the Vice treasurer and four ordinary Narc-Stockholm Committee members are all from the “House of Mumbi” ie Kikuyus. The implication is that at Narc-Stockholm Committee meetings, there will be no problem with Kikuyu as the “official language”.
Mr. Njoroge wrote: “I did not feel the tribalism as so clearly pointed out in the above mentioned articles”. Tribalism is not an object you see with your naked eyes in a meeting or a stone that hits you on the head so that you feel terrible pain. Tribalism is subjective.
When everybody in a meeting to form a national political Party is a Kikuyu, in a meeting that only Kikuyus have been invited and after elections, all positions are taken up by Kikuyus, then that could be a better example of tribalism at work. If Mr. Njoroge is waiting for the “monster of tribalism” to storm a meeting so that everybody can see him or her, he will be in for a long wait, probably until Kingdom comes.
