The KKK is an acronym for Kikuyu, Kalenjin and Kamba. It is an alliance fronted by key leaders from the 3 communities to enable one of them ascends to power. This ideology fronts the figures of these communities going by the last census as sufficient to win elections. As such, and in short, it has nothing else binding other than bringing 3 big tribes in Kenya to win Executive power. The flipside of it is that as soon as that power is won, it will be the same story of being shortchanged because each tribe will be demanding its pound of flesh, Ruto demand “his Cabinet seats and other government positions for his tribe”, Kalonzo will do the same and so will Uhuru whoever wins.
Having defined the ideology thus, let me posit why this alliance should not be allowed by the very Kenyans from these three communities from which it is being fronted. Firstly, this alliance has nothing to offer the common man in terms of economic and social development; it is about power sharing and wealth protection, mostly acquired through corruption. Secondly, this kind of tribal alliances are what eventually degenerated into tribal clashes and Post Election Violence. The whole concept of fronting tribe against others is a dangerous undertaking which no sane Kenyan, let alone leader, should even contemplate after we witnessed 2007/8 PEV.
Kenyans know what happened soon after tribal alliances coalesced during the 2005 referendum debates. These tribal alignments were largely to build the platform and arena in which the largest tribe in Kenya, the Kikuyu, was to find themselves being slaughtered in many parts of the country especially the Rift Valley. On the other hand, members of the Luo found themselves on the receiving end in areas dominated by the Kikuyu like Naivasha and Nakuru. The wider battle was perceived to be Kikuyu verses Luo and others were either allies in this tribal orgy with the Kalenjin mostly taking the side of the Luo and the friendly security forces and militia under the President were sent to counter such attacks, culminating into yet more massacres in places like Kisumu, Eldoret among others.
With the background of how things go following a disputed elections and with PEV victims not yet settled, perpetrators not yet brought to book, our electoral reforms not completed, an alliance of the three big tribes poses a threat to other big tribes such as the Luo, Luhya, Kissi,Somali, etc who are likely to, under common political interest and threat, unite into another tribal block. The smaller tribes are likely to join one or the other tribal blocks. This scenario will then build tensions around borders as we near the general elections based on perceived support for or against preferred candidates.
Now, I have given so far the path such thinking will take Kenya to as we approach 2012 and with equally balanced “tribal forces”, a dangerous tribal stadium is being watered by none other than our leaders for nothing else other than power. This time round, the slaughter will be to a wider scale like the genocide in Rwanda.
It is instructive to note that none other than the President is playing into the hands of these tribal players. As a key leader who should lead the healing and reconciliation process, he should avoid like the plague, podiums and stages where proponents of KKK are planning their tribal outfit and fashion his healing campaign away from it and make his across the nation. He should do this by planning reconciliation meetings accompanied by all the leaders from the Kenyan communities with him, where the face of Kenya and not that of Kikuyu, Kamba and Kalenjin (KKK) is seen. He should stretch this to all parts of Kenya where violence has taken place and not just for political reason but for true healing and reconciliation. As it is, he is busy sowing seeds of KKK verses other Kenyan tribes by associating with the leaders of KKK on apparent “healing and reconciliation” meetings.
If I were Kibaki, I would bring together Ruto, Raila, Kalonzo, Uhuru, Mudavadi, and key leaders to such meetings be they in the Rift Valley, Nyanza, Coast, Central, Western etc and the topic would be ONE KENYA, ONE NATION, not realignments for 2012. I am disappointed that none other than the President is playing the tribal card and fronting a tribal unit to take over after his demise. He is not healing the nation, he is fanning the unhealed wounds, what is not clear is how well the Kikuyu and Kalenjin have healed from the wounds they inflicted on each other to be again “prepared” to inflict wounds on other tribes. This is indeed a tribal warlord’s country coated as a nation.
Meanwhile, Moi is standing up to the KKK and dismissing it. A tale of two Presidents; one elitist and very brilliant but tribal. The other one, down to earth and not very educated but seemingly nationalist.
Where do you stand as a Kenyan in all this tribal matrix?

Am one worried kenyan coz enyewe this KKK is really going to divide us again ..i wonder when we will ever be kenyan..
Just kenyan nothing more!!
SAAD!!
The Rome statue obliges governments and member states to give way and support in the investigation and prosecution of criminals and gangsters leaders like the one we are seeing being recruited under the umbrella of healing some section of kenya i.e kericho,kangundo and karatina(kkk),the agenda of these meeting is get prepared we know who to slaughter this time.They want to withdraw as a member state from icc,plan genocide,change the name of mwingiki and cheat kenyans that they are forming an alliance kkk,these criminals are out to be in power come what may,protect their wealth carry on with corruption and once they are no longer a member to the(RS) icc,they will do anything and nobody will say anything.Ruto is busy planning another genocide again even before the first case is started,Ocampo is watching you and your allies very keenly.mr kkks.This country kenya is for all kenyans and does not belong to individuals,every one has a right to choose and cast his or her votes to a leader who can bring changes by fighting corruption,land issue,attract foreingn investors,uplift the economic´status of the country,creat employment opportunities,health care,education and build up a strong state whereby everybody pay taxes and enjoy and see what the tax payers money does.Kenya needs politics which is not based on ethnical groupings like kkks.Kibaki went to Eldoret to reconcile with the riftvalley leaders,he went there with his own “bible,the same bible he used to take an oath, when he was being sworn in at night some years ago,here again comes another football team with the same referee who allow players to net the goals using their hands and bring the cup home,its very obvious the kind of politics he is playing in support of kkks,he doesnt know that he is igniting fire just like they did last time.I think Ocampo must have forgotten some names,but sooner or later they will come out and some of them would want to go and join Bashir thinking they will be safe there.Coming to idps,why do they want to speed up the process now how many years has taken them to solve these issue of idps.Fellow kenyans,we dont want to see our country going up in smoke again,choose your leaders not based on ethnical groupings like this kkks.Ok there are elements of tribalism which should be there and more understandable just like appointing Kimani to head the ministry of gikuyu culture,you cannot appoint Kimani to head the department of somali culture because one knows his culture best of course you can be a masai but not a realone,and let Ruto tell us about mursik,people like Kibaki,Mugabe,Bashir,Gbagbo should not be in power and many others.Enough is enough,if it happens again in kenya then the only solution is revolution.Dont bring this type of politics again,we need to get out of this gas chamber since independence and dont put a section of kenyan community in a like concentration camps
The tribal political problems in Kenya has taken a very long time becouse Wakenya has been taken for a ride for so long. secondly the masses has failed to realize their destiny ,many kenyans are not aware of their rights ,they trust their tribesmen/women and lurers simply becouse of this evil tribal cancer that was started by the the KANU leaders. Who ate and swallowed KADU.Kenya Nation prayers are Ukabila .The people of Kenya elect corrupt and tribal rulers (not leaders)only to start complaining and shouting immediately.
Burn this kkk movement
The tribal alliance dubbed KKK is now down to KK because Kalonzo Musyoka has already been ditched by Uhuru and Ruto, who view him as an old guard.
Politically, Kalonzo has no numbers and tribally, the Kikuyu are not likely to vote for a Kamba presidential candidate. After all, Ruto has agreed to back Uhuru for the presidency as long as he becomes his deputy.
The most unfortunate thing is that Kenyan politics is so tribally-inclined that the tribe factor determines the presidency. Uhuru’s father, Jomo Kenyatta, was the architect of tribalism, to the extent that he and his ilk (the Kiambu Mafia), believed the presidency should not go beyond the Chania river. It meant not even the Nyeri Kikuyu could lead. This was eventually thwarted by Kibaki’s ascent to power.
In my opinion, President Kibaki is a true tribal leader who has evidently assigned many top Government jobs to “watu wa nyoomba”. He is the godfather of Uhuru and with that bias, saw it appropriate to silently endorse him at the recent Eldoret rally.
It’s such a shame because the promulgation of the new Constitution gave Kenyans hope for a better future. However, the reality is different because the newspapers continue writing a lot on how PNU is championing for Kenya’s withdrawal from the ICC, KKK members still run around spreading tribal arithmetic, and corruption is growing its tentacles as usual.
Uhuru inherited massive wealth from his father, the chief thief, Jomo Kenyatta. Many of the sufferings of the Kikuyu who were robbed of their land in Central Kenya, is due to Jomo’s and other Kikuyu elite thievery. The British paid Kenyatta’s government a lot of money to compensate the Kikuyu who had lost their land during the colonial. Instead, Kenyatta and his “Thievery Incorporated” took quite a big chunk of the money and used it for personal benefit. Many landless Kikuyu were sent to the Rift Valley and thus, the recurrent tension between many of them and the Kalenjin, who see them as aliens. It is a fact that many Kikuyu also bought land in Rift Valley, but the original mission by Kenyatta was to throw his own people out of Central Province after grabbing their land.
Does age determine good leadership? Probably not, because Kibaki who has been a political leader for many years, has proven during his “error” that having succeeded two presidents, he has perfected grand corruption and impunity beyond say.
Ruto also wants to be the next president, yet his rise from a humble upbringing to extreme wealth, is due to grand thievery. He has a pending court case linked to theft, and is also suspected to have masterminded the PEV. Is this the leader Kenyans want?
Kenyans still have another liberation war ahead because the KK (Uhuru-Ruto alliance) tag is not up to reforming anything, but maintaining the status quo, which is protecting their wealth and continuing with impunity, as stated Otieno Sungu in KSB.
Further up in northern Africa, there is a clear wind of change which began with Tunisia, and has now spread to Egypt, with the hope that President Mubarak will also be ousted. What is it with many dictators appointing their offspring to succeed them even in what is assumed to be a democratic state? Mubarak has long wished to have his son as the next president, just like Omar Bongo’s son did in Gabon. Meanwhile, Gbagbo’s case in Ivory Coast is another example of Kibaki’s claims of winning in 2007.
What next for Kenya if a whole group of top Kalenjin politicians can hold a rally to champion “numbers” instead of ideology, for Kenya’s next presidency? It was heartless of them NOT to discuss the pathetic condition of the IDPs, just a few kilometers away from the stadium they were using. The IDPs are only worthy when their votes are needed. I recall many Kikuyu said after the PEV that they wanted Ruto’s head on a plate. This is not the talk now, as long as he will lead the Kalenjin into giving Uhuru all the votes needed to enter State House.
I shudder at the thought of Kalonzo going for the presidency in 2012, since his infamous passing act in-between Raila and Kibaki in 2007. Kalonzo’s stay in the Cabinet since Moi’s presidency (and 25 years in Parliament), has never helped his Mwingi North constituents. There is no record of land irrigation given its arid nature, improved infrastructure, or any political landmark. Many Kamba people suffer long spells of drought and famine, are forced to eat poisonous roots, and periodically die from hunger. Kalonzo was recently quoted saying that the Government must pay Muthaura’s and Ali’s ICC legal expenses because that is what an employer should do. Honestly, why should the hard-earned taxpayer’s money be used to pay for the mistakes of these employees suspected of committing crimes against humanity? Remember, Kalonzo also professes being a born-again Christian.
Kenyans, with the likes of KKK or KK lining up for the feeding trough, let us rethink our Constitutional obligations and say NO to wrong candidates. If the Tunisians kicked out that horrible dictator, Kenyans can, through the available democratic space, choose the right President by vetting the morals and ethical levels of the upcoming contenders.
Can tribalist Central people read this=
One of the biggest weakening factors in Africa is tribalism and other forms of sectarianism. While in other continents you find different nations living and working together under cohesive political entities which are powerful, however diverse they are, in African, tribalism is always emphasized. Look at the United States of America or the countries of Western Europe that have now formed the EEC. In African, however, we encourage unprincipled divisions. In fact, Samora Machel once described tribalism as the commander-in-chief of the anti-African forces.”
These words were said by Y K Museveni the President of Uganda!
The sacking of the K-24 marketing team shown on #5 up here, only exhibits how ruthless the owner Uhuru Kenyatta is. Note that the demonstrators are speaking in Kikuyu, meaning that they are all from Central, yet are being mistreated in a Kikuyu owned company. Kenyans should be aware that the rich have no tribe when it comes to making profits from their employees.

They are now shedding off the tribal tag of KKK. See also Mary Wambui calling Kibaki her husband:

President Kibaki: I have only one wife:
Kibaki is a master of pure lies who told Kenyans that he was a one-term only president. He lied he would provide 500,000 jobs; he lied he would stamp out corruption; he lied he would reform the judiciary and Kenya’s security apparatus. He lied he would provide a new constitution within the first 100 days in power; he lied that he would not allow his portrait in public places like Moi, or on Kenyan money, yet he eventually did.
Kibaki has not unified the country but escalated tribalism as never before, especially by continuously appointing his Mt. Kenya/GEMA people to top jobs.
Kibaki the coward liar denied having another wife, yet all records point that way as stated here:
Mary Wambui is a Kenyan businesswoman and the second wife of Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki.[1] The Wambui family claim that Mwai married Mary in 1972 under Kikuyu customary law and have a daughter, Wangui Mwai.
Kibaki, issued an official statement saying that his wife Lucy Kibaki and their children were his only “immediate family”. Although officially denied status as a wife, Wambui is provided with all the trappings of a presidential spouse including armed bodyguards and limousines.
In 2004 the media reported that Kibaki has a second spouse allegedly married under customary law, Mary Wambui, and a daughter, Wangui Mwai. After the news broke, the State House released an unsigned statement that Kibaki’s only immediate family is his wife, Lucy and their four children.[2] The Washington Post termed the entire scandal as a “new Kenyan soap opera”.[3] In 2009, Kibaki, accompanied by a furious Lucy Kibaki, held a press conference to re-state to the world that he only has one wife.[4]

Corruption of the highest Order >Planning Rigging 2012 Elections in Kenya
Updated 1 hr(s) 41 min(s) ago

Intrigues at the electoral body have exploded with the suspension of the personal assistant to the institution’s chief executive officer.
Mr Roy Allan Otieno Odongo was suspended without pay after he was accused of feeding a local daily information on the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC), which was subsequently published in an article, “Tribalism, Nepotism are rife at IIEC”.
But the ultimate target appears to be his boss, James Oswago, after the commission, in a hastily convened press conference, claimed forces were working with the CEO to tarnish the IIEC’s image and manipulate the team that would oversee the General Election.
The IIEC’s role will be expanded when it finally becomes the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). The latest developments are being seen as linked to the jostling over whom among the commissioners would be allowed to serve in the new body.
Curiously, the claims and Odongo’s suspension came when Oswago and three other IIEC officials were in Manila, Philippines, on an official trip to study the country’s electoral voting system.
Odongo rebuffed the allegations in a letter to IIEC chairman Ahmed Issack Hassan, a copy of which has been obtained by The Standard.
The article in question was published in The Star newspaper. But in his letter to Hassan protesting his innocence, Odongo lists five reasons he should not have been suspended.
Odongo said the article was a copy of what was already in circulation “in media houses and a section of civil society”.
He noted: “For them to be found in my laptop is not a matter of conjecture, but a matter of me being in possession of information which a whole lot of other people already know and have including your self [Hassan] and the Commissioners.”
Odongo denied having communicated with any media house and said the matters Hassan claims are “the commission’s internal affairs” are “fundamental issues regarding governance, ethics, integrity, accountability and the rule of Law.”
But the letter to Odongo was written “on behalf of the chief electoral officer,” who left Manila Wednesday.
“Note that [the] Plenary in its last sitting decreed that no Personal Assistant in the Commission should be moved, transferred or otherwise interfered with without the approval of the person he/she is assigned to,” said Odongo. He also denied that Oswago was aware of the document in his laptop or that the CEO had instructed him “to act any way that would have similar results or effects”.
“Investigations have been launched into reports that were circulated to the media, discrediting the commission as a haven of nepotism,” said Hassan.
He said they had reported the matter to the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), which will investigate.
The chairman claimed they suspected that Odongo, who has since been suspended, was working for powerful politicians who are keen to manipulate the new polls body.
“The document found on the laptop was word for word as the one published in the daily, except for the author and it was also originated from the same machine,” said Hassan.
Hassan said they had recalled Oswago help in further investigations.
Mr Davis Chirchir, were supposed to accompany Oswago to the Philipines, but returned on arriving at the airport, when they were informed of the dossier that had been released to the Press.
“I am travelling back today. I shall be leaving three officers – a director, a manager, and an elections co-ordinator who were on the trip,” Oswago told The Standard from Manila. Oswago, Hassan, commissioner Chirchir and three others had been fully booked on flight for the Philippines.
The team was booked for 12 days at the exclusive Manila Bay Hotel. The entire trip shall cost the taxpayer Sh4, 000,000, with the top officers, holding $7,000 as travelling allowance, including the officers who did not travel.
“I considered the matter very urgent and requiring immediate investigations and that is why we turned. If we would have been away, we would not have investigated these malicious reports,” said Hassan.

PLOT TO DERAIL 2012 POLL REVEALED Thursday, 04 August 2011 00:01 BY MOSOKU GEOFFREY

The Interim Independent Electoral Commission yesterday claimed there is a plot to rig the 2012 general election. The IIEC chairman Issack Hassan said external forces are working on derailing the appointment of new commissioners and if they succeeded, the integrity of next year’s elections will be compromised.
Issack said the plan involves discrediting the current commissioners so that they may not be considered for re-appointment when the Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission is put together. The term of the IIEC’s commissioners expires immediately the IEBC commissioners are appointed.
The IEBC will be responsible for running elections, creating boundaries for the proposed new constituencies as well as registering voters and maintaining the voters register. The commission will also be responsible for drawing the boundaries of the proposed 47 counties. The IIEC said it had discovered the plot during internal investigations it conducted following media reports that nepotism and favouritism were rife at the commission.
Yesterday Issack said the commission has suspended Allan Odongo, who is the personal assistant to the IIEC chief executive officer James Oswago. Odongo is alleged to have been undermining the commission and leaking unauthorised documents to the media. Issack said the commission has recalled Oswago, who is on a seven-day official trip to the Philippines, to assist in the investigations.
A selection panel to vet the new IEBC commissioners has been appointed and will be meeting today at the Public Service Commission offices to elect the chairman and vice chairman and advertise vacancies for the IEBC commissioners.
Issack said the plot involved individuals from outside the commission working in concert with some of the commission staff to tarnish and discredit the commissioners as corrupt and tribalist so that they would not be considered for appointment to the IEBC. “We are in a transition and it’s highly possible that some forces would like to influence who manages the 2012 elections. There is evidence that they are using some staff to champion their selfish interests,” Issack said. He declined to name the people behind the plot and only said it involved politicians as well as members of the civil society.
He said the commission had always been aware of the plot which was being implemented in the last few months through the publication of numerous articles, commentaries and correspondences aimed at discrediting the image and integrity of the chairman, the commissioners and the secretariat as a whole.
Issack said their investigations had revealed that Odongo was behind some of the articles published. “When the allegations of corruption and nepotism come to our knowledge through the media, we launched investigations using IT experts and independent forensic experts. The investigations unearthed articles from the laptop of the PA to the CEO Mr Alan Odongo,” said Issack.
Odongo was suspended without pay on Tuesday evening. He has since denied that he was working on behalf of Oswago or being part of the plot. “When we asked him if he had been instructed by Oswago he denied it but we are not taking chances and have asked the CEO to return back to the county to aid in investigations,” Isaack said.
Isaack and Commissioner Davies Chirchir who were due to travel to the Philippines to join Oswago on Monday said they decided to cancel the trip to handle the crisis.
Isaack said some of the articles recovered from Odongo’s laptop had been published in the opinion pages of the Star while others were lined up for publication in other newspapers. “Some of the articles are word by word of what was printed in a local paper’s opinion but under a different byline,” Isaack said.
Isaack, who was accompanied by eight of his commissioners and secretariat staff, defended the commission from the allegations saying they were libelous and malicious. In the letter suspending Odongo, the commission accused him of communicating with the media about the affairs of the commission without express approval in writing by the commission or any authority on behalf of the commission.
He is also accused of defaming the commission and its employees in an opinion entitled “Tribalism, Nepotism are rife at the IIEC” published on Page 24 of the Star’s Opinion columns which is contrary to its code of conduct as stipulated in his appointment letter.
Odongo denied the allegations and said the documents recovered from his laptop were common and had been circulated in media houses and a section of the civil society. “Let this be on record that the CEO/Secretary of the commission has nothing to do with all these and the coincidence of my association with the said article are not any any way part of my relationship with him as the PA nor have I ever received instructions from him to act in any way that would have similar results or effects,” Odongo adds.
Isaack said such “malicious allegations” threatened to dent the credibility of the IIEC which has received plaudits since its inception 25 months ago. He said the commission has asked Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission and other government institutions for help in unearthing those behind the plot.
