  1. That is the list we want the World to know and understand that the Kenyan Government is selective for only one tribe and that is the cause of violence in the Country. How can one tribe out of 42 tribes calls itself a Government?

    The donors World Bank and IMF should know that all money sent to Kenya goes in one pocket of a tribe. The AU and UN Security Council which support PNU on ICC referral should see that danger in Kenya. What do they want Kenyans to say? Corruption is from the same Government.That is why Regional Governance (Majimbo) are needed in Kenya.People want Majimbo so that their areas should also develop not only one side in the name of Kenya. That is the source of violence. Let the perpetrators face ICC Case.

    What is the UN Security Council is trying to protect in Kenya’s evils? Do they know how other 41 tribes feel?

  2. CONSOLIDATED BANK OF KENYA

    The bank is fully owned by the Government with the majority shareholding in the Bank (51%) held by the Treasury through the Deposit Protection Fund. The remaining shareholding is spread over twenty five (25) parastatals and other government related/controlled organizations.

  3. Where were your sleeping tribes when kikuyus were being appointed in all govt jobs?Why dont you blame your weakness and the fear of Kikuyus!This proves beyond any reasonable doubts that Kikuyus are superiour and super tribe among all other Kenyan tribes! What are you going to do now?What is the solution?
    Why has it taken 50 yrs for you guys to smell the Coffee? Is it a myth that Kenya is Kikuyu and Kikuyu is Kenya?

    KSB: You remember what happened to Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak when the “people’s power” was stired after decades of slumber? Yemen, Syria et al? It is a process and “smelling the coffee” is just a single step in the struggle. Millions of ordinary Kikuyus also suffer (esp IDPs) along side other Kenyans. The question is whether they will also be duped with ethnic chauvinism or whether they will join the struggle along side other Kenyans for one Kenya, one People and one destiny and to destroy the myth of “Kenya is Kikuyu” which you happily ascribe to.

  4. It appears the leadership of Mount Kenya region sees itself as the only group endowed with the right to happiness, and that in this pursuit; they are justified to use all means possible. They harm the community by misusing its poor folk as they please, creating barriers between their constituents and other Kenyans through fear-peddling, and deploying all manner of ploys to foil any chances at changes that will check their control of resources.

  5. Mary Wambui Wa Mwai (Kibaki) the Woman who slept with the Armenian brothers (Margaryan&Sagasyans)
    Has threatened The ICC-Hahue Court Judges! Wambui warns ICC against Uhuru arrest threat .
    Thursday, 31 March 2011 00:02 BY GEORGE MURAGE
    . PNU activist Mary Wambui has defended Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta over allegations that he was involved in the post-election violence. Wambui warned of undisclosed consequences if the ICC jails or detains Uhuru.

    The outspoken activist also defended former police commisioner Hussein Ali and Head of public service Francis Muthaura over the cases facing them.”We shall defend them to the end and if they don’t come back they (ICC) will know who we are,” she said.

    Wambui said Uhuru led other leaders to plead with the youth to maintain peace during the violence and wondered why he is being ‘persecuted’.

    On IDPs, Wambui hit out at some of their leaders who are misleading the victims to refuse to the land offered by the government.”Any Kenyan can live in any part of the country and we castigate those people in Mau Narok and Taita who are opposed to IDPs being resettled there,” she said. Wambui was speaking in Karunga, Ol Kalou during a farmers’ field day where MEA limited donated fertilser and maize seeds to farmers.

    She challenged the government to move fast and deliver fertiliser and seed to farmers before the long rains start.”We are urge the concerned ministry to move fast and deliver the seeds and fertiliser so that farmers dont fall behind in their plans,” she said.

  6. The roots of the land conflicts in Rift Valley land lie with the former colonial power, Britain, post-independence land policies by the Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki administrations; and the tendency for ethnic favouritism and patronage by power wielders.

    The Grabbers of the Rift Valley

    Most of the power brokers in the Kenyatta regime who formed land-buying companies established huge farms in the Rift Valley either jointly or on their own. They included Njenga Karume, the then Chairman of Gema Holdings, who acquired 20,000 acres in Molo where he is growing tea, coffee, pyrethrum and potatoes and 16,000 acres in Naivasha.

    GG Kariuki acquired his 5,000 acres at Rumuruti, Laikipia Division, while former Attoney-General Charles Njonjo bought into the 100,000 acre Solio Ranch. Don’t forget, grabbing of settler land in Central by many colonial collaborators, at the expense of the Mau Mau fighters, was part of the scheme.

    Senior Chief Munyinge from Muiga took 400 acres. Initially, senior chief Munyinge was allocated only 70 acres but with time he managed to acquire 330 more acres.

    Mwai Kibaki acquired 20,000 acres in Nanyuki. Former MP the late Munene Kairu has 32,000 acres at Rumuruti.

    Mr Isaiah Mathenge, the former powerful Provincial Commissioner under Kenyatta and an MP under Moi, is arguably the largest land owner in Nyeri municipality. He owns Seremwai Estate, which is 10,000 acres.

    Kibaki’s friend, Kim Ngatende, a former government engineer, has 500 acres too. Mathenge also owns – jointly with former Provincial Commissioner Lukas Daudi Galgalo -the 10,000-acre Manyagalo Ranch in Meru.

    Back in Rift Valley, as Jaramogi and the rest of Kenyans were saying, Not Yet Uhuru, it was land grabbing business as usual. Land-buying companies were heisting big. The result was big acquisitions, for instance, Munyeki Farm – which stands for Murang’a, Nyeri, Kiambu – (4,000 acres), Wamuini Farm (6,000 acres), Amuka Farm (2,000 acres), Gituaraba Farm and Githatha Farm (1,000 acres each) and GEMA Holdings 12,000 acres. A few of them are being utilized, today with the owners growing various crops ranging from coffee, tea, maize and dairy keeping.

    The other big farms include Chepchomo Farm (18,000 acres), owned by the former Provincial Commissioner Ishmael Chelang’a. The family of the late Peter Kinyanjui, who was a close friend of President Mwai Kibaki and a former DP Chairman in Trans Nzoia between 1998 and 1999 owns 1,800 acres.

    In Nakuru, several politically connected individuals have acquired many acres of prime land within the town – they include lawyer Mutula Kilonzo, who owns an 800-acre farm for dairy farming. The immediate former Auditor General, D. G. Njoroge, owns 500 acres, while Biwott’s Canadian son-in-law & coowner of Safaricom (Mobitelea) a Mr. Charles Field-Marsham, boasts a 100- acre piece where he is growing roses.

    D. G. Njoroge also owns the extensive Kelelwa Ranch in Koibatek, is less than 10km from Kabarak, where he rears cattle and goats. The 10,000 acre Gitomwa Farm – acronym for Gichuru, Tony and Mwaura – is owned by the family of the former Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited (KPLC) managing director, Samuel Gichuru. Tony and Mwaura are his sons.

    Another 10,000 acre farm in Mau Narok belongs to the family of the late Mbiyu Koinange, Kenyatta’s side-kick and powerful minister of state in the Office of the President. His Muthera Farm (4,000ha) is leased to different people to grow wheat, while a group of squatters is demanding a piece of it. The owners are yet to clear the Sh7 million Settlement Transfer Fund loan.

    Ford-People leader Simeon Nyachae’s Kabansora Holdings owns 4,000ha in the area. Former Rongai MP Willy Komen’s family owns 10,000 acres – 5,000ha adjacent to Moi’s Kabarak Farm and another 4,800ha near Ngata in Njoro.

    Coast Province was not spared. Kenyatta family owns almost 15% the prime resort land in the province, besides a huge sisal plantation spanning both Taita and Taveta districts, safely watched by his son-in-law and former MP Marsden Madoka, and another close friend to Uhuru Kenyatta, and current Minister in Kibaki’s Coalition Government, Naomi Shaban.

    Kenyatta’s Land holdings

    Kenya’s two former First Families and the family of President Mwai Kibaki are among the biggest landowners in the country. The extended Kenyatta family alone owns an estimated 500,000 acres – approximately the size of Nyanza Province – according to estimates by independent surveyors and Ministry of Lands officials. (This report first appeared in the Standard Newspaper report by Mr. Otsieno Namwaya).

    The Kibaki and Moi families also own large tracts, most held in the names of sons and daughters and other close family members, all concentrated within the 17.2 % of Kenya that is arable or valued. Remember that 80 per cent of all land in Kenya is mostly arid and semi arid land.

    According to the Kenya Land Alliance, more than a 65% of all arable land in Kenya is in the hands of only 20 per cent of the 35 million Kenyans. That has left millions absolutely landless while another 67 per cent on average own less than an acre per person.

    The building land crises in the country, experts say, will be difficult to solve because the most powerful people in the country are also among its biggest landowners. The tracts of land under the Kenyatta family are so widely distributed within the numerous members in various parts of the country that it is an almost impossible task to locate all of them and establish their exact sizes.

    During Kenyatta’s 15-year tenure in State House, he used the elaborate STFS scheme funded by the World Bank and the British Government, to acquired large pieces of land all over the country. Other tracts, he easily allocated to his family.

    Among the best-known parcels owned by Kenyatta’s family, for instance, are the 24, 000 acres in Taveta sub-district adjacent to the 74, 000 acres owned by former MP Basil Criticos, whereby the title deeds are grabbed by a bank.

    Others are 50, 000 acres in Taita that is currently under Mrs Beth Mugo, an Assistant minister of Public Health and niece of Kenyatta. 29, 000 acres in Kahawa Sukari along the Nairobi – Thika highway, the 10, 000 acre Gichea Farm in Gatundu, 5, 000 acres in Thika, 9,000 acres in Kasarani and the 5,000-acre Muthaita Farm.

    These are beside others such as Brookside Farm, Green Lee Estate, Njagu Farm in Juja, a quarry in Dandora in Nairobi and a 10, 000-acre ranch in Naivasha. There is another 200 acres in Mombasa, and 250 acres in Malindi. Other pieces of land owned by the Kenyatta family include the 52,000-acre farm in Nakuru and a 20,000-acre one, also known as Gichea Farm, in Bahati under Kenyatta’s daughter, Margaret. Besides, Mama Ngina Kenyatta, widow of the former President, owns another 10, 000 acres in Rumuruti while a close relative of the Kenyatta family, a Mrs Kamau, has 40,000 acres in Endebes in
    the Rift Valley Province.

    Uhuru owns 5,000 acres in Eldoret, 3,000 acres in Rongai and 12,000 acres in Naivasha, 100 acres in Karen, and 200 acres in Dagoretti. A 1,000-acre farm in Dagoretti is owned by Kenyatta’s first wife Wahu.

    It is also understood that part of the land on which Kenyatta and Jomo Kenyatta Universities are constructed initially belonged the Criticos family. The government bought the land from him in 1972 under the Settlement Transfer Fund Scheme and transferred to the Kenyatta family the same day Criticos sold it to the government. Land for the two universities was subsequently sold partly and a portion donated by the family.

    Kibaki’s and Moi’s Land Grabbing

    One of President Kibaki’s earliest grabs is the 1,200-acre Gingalily Farm along the Nakuru-Solai road. And in the 1970s, Kibaki, who was then the minister for Finance under Kenyatta, via STFS transferred to himself, 10,000 acres in Bahati from the then Agriculture minister Bruce Mckenzie.

    Kibaki also owns another 10,000 acres at Igwamiti in Laikipia and 10,000 acres in Rumuruti in Naivasha. These are in addition to the 1,600 acre Ruare Ranch.

    Just next to Kibaki’s Bahati land are Moi’s 20,000 acres although his best known piece of land is the 1,600 Kabarak Farm on which he has retired. It is one of the most well utilised farms in the area, with wheat, maize and dairy cattle.

    The former President owns another 20,000 acres in Olenguruoni in Rift Valley, on which he is growing tea and has also built the Kiptakich Tea Factory (torched early 2008 Post election violence).

    He also has some 20, 000 acres in Molo. He also has another 3, 000-acre farm in Bahati on both sides of the Nakuru/Nyahururu road where he grows coffee and some 400 acres in Nakuru on which he was initially growing coffee.

    The former President also owns the controversy ridden 50, 000 acre Ol Pajeta Farm – part of which has Ol Pajeta ranch in Rumuruti, Laikipia. Some time in 2004, Moi put out an advert in the press warning the public that some unknown people were sub-dividing and selling it.

    Can solutions be found to address these land problems?

    This is clearly a socio-political problem that requires a political solution. It involves digging up the archives, consulting experts, policy makers, local politicians and community elders to find a comprehensive solution.

    Such formulated blueprints can then be sold to Kenyans of all creed, race, religion and ethnicity in a publicity campaign that seeks to draw in as many supporters as possible. A responsive political party genuinely keen to tackle this tough problem can actually sell a comprehensive and just land reform policy as part of its manifesto.

    These must be cognizant of the constitutional implications concerned in addressing past and present land issues.

    What we witnessed in Rift Valley during the PEV may just escalate to new heights considering the fundamental weight of the underlying blood and soil issue of land.

  7. It is a mistake to follow tribal lines only for discovering the recent political, economical and social trends in Kenya. The roots were laied by the former colonialists after WW II in whole Africa. They handed over their interests to corrupted local ( tribal ) elites. They installed ” National Heros ” eliminated the real liberation heros and handed over the right to plunder the own countries to the new ruling classes.
    Rom and later Mekka tooked over the education systems. That makes it very easy to send undereducated youth for” mass actions ” in the roads and against the fellow countrymen from the other tribe. Together they established the current “african democracies” like Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ivory Coast a. o.
    The best way to secure these strategies is simple to follow the ethnically lines. Well proofed by the Brits.
    Patriots and nationalists were out of order and became hyenna food.
    The so corrupted political and parlamentarian classes married the organized Mafia networks. In alliance with the religious leaders which are responsible for keeping the ordinary people in darkness we wake up one morning and have to make out all these countries are in hands of high developed, well equiped and educated criminal networks and ” Big Families “with their borderless greed.
    The way out is modern education for all to leave the african middle age.

  8. My fellow Kenyans we didnt elect President Kibaki to practice Tribalism and corruption but to end the two vices..Given he chose to do what we didnt elect hom to do..the only way is to reject another GEMA presidency for the next 1000 years ….

    The stats are very clear..Kikuyus and other “EM” members head and control over 70 percent of parastatals in all sectors of the economy..where are the remaining 41 ethnic groups?

  9. All Kenyans go to school and you can’t say that only GEMA are qualified to head parastatals in Kenya. KRA is full of Kikuyus and if you ain’t a Kikuyu they will never give you a job. The same at Consolidated Bank and scores of other sectors pointed out on this list where all managers are kikuyus. So don’t fool us with job vacancies which are mere advertisements for the parastatals.

    The Kenya Public Service must reflect a country called Kenya, not GEMA. The list is important in spreading awareness campaigns. It tells Kenyans that this is what Kibaki has done and these are his appointments. If you like it, vote for his anointed godson, the suspected criminal, killer and rapist called Uhuru, then you will keep this trend in Kenya for another 10 years. Thereafter, Ruto the killer will take over for another 10 years. This means Kenya’s presidency will be locked in the hands of two people with blood on their hands from the 2008 PEV. You can only love these appointments if you are a die-hard GEMA, supporting Uhuru and not the suffering Kikuyu IDPs.

    If Raila came to power and because most Luos are educated and he decides that all PSs are Luos and surely they will be qualified, Kenyans will go berserk that he is a tribalist. So the argument of these Kikuyus being qualified doesn’t arise. There are qualified Pokots, Turkanas, Rendiles and Maasai too, why not employ them too?

    Parastatals are full of Kikuyus/GEMA. Government Ministries are full of GEMA. We are today in a GEMA country. Kenyans wake up and correct this, during the 2012 elections. It’s urgent – GEMA has sent our country to the dogs. Kenya has been turned into a GEMA country. Vote wisely in 2012.

  10. How come those MAU MAU veterans ended up in Rift Valley? How come the powerful Kikuyu leaders own thousands of acres in Central?
    If mau,mau fight fought for the land in central how come just few kikuyu elite on most of this land which MAU fought and paid the ultimate price.

    If kimathi was alive today could he be and IDP in eldoret or nakuru show ground.

  11. Kikuyu IDPs are the descendants of Kikuyu MAu Mau veterans – when they come back from the bush they found kenyatta had divided all the land in Central Province among his buddies and this poor people were homeless until kibaki went and pushed out other tribes from their land which the british had agreed to give back to them after independence and kenyatta took it and settled this landless veterans on it!!

    IDP’S IN RIFT VALLEY = MAU MAU VETERAN’S FAMILIES – go figure ha!!! ha!! kibaki, uhuru, saitoti and their rich elite cronies have to share their stolen wealth and give back the mau mau veterans back their land- i understand most of them died as paupers and some even were never buried back in their beloved central which they fought so had for!! are this kikuyu’s for real??? what greed and power excuse of human beings shenzi

    these veteran families even though they were forced upon the people in the rift valley they have survived together for years- few fights here and there!! but they should know the truth and told why they ended in the rift valley!! even i remember the same mungiki come up before they started being murderers that is what they were fighting for the land injustices- but i guess frustration got them to form gangs !! the mau mau veteran ‘s families should be given their land back or paid for all the suffering they have gone through and the people who have chunks of land in central must hand it back to them!!

    i think lack of education on their part played a big role on their being swindled bu kenyatta!! i believe Bildad Kaggia former freedom fighter tried to fight for the veterans and he was sacked or resigned from kenyatta government!! j.m karuiki was fighting for the same and he was assassinated!! i guess kibaki has to murder all the idps in the camps now to stop them claiming their ancestral land!! eh!

  12. the idp mau mau veterans families are syaing they want justice served- who took their land? they want their land back or money to buy else where- all this people on this list should pay them or share this land period!! end of discussions!!

    First, we need these people listed below to hand over land to the IDPs.

    1. Munyeki Farm—which stands for Murang’a, Nyeri, Kiambu – (4,000 acres)

    2. Lukas Daudi Galgalo—the 10,000-acre Manyagalo Ranch in Meru

    19. Uhuru Kenyatta and family, 500,000 acres

  13. Uhuru Kenyatta Owns treasury ! He wanted to bribe the Hague Judges!

    ICC suspect loses Sh840m at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport

    Police are investigating the reported loss of hand luggage containing about Sh840 million in hard cash. The luggage was being carried by one of The Hague suspects at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The police were told the bag had US$10 million in $100 bills. The bills had been tied in bundles and stuffed in the black bag he was seen carrying when he alighted from the plane. “He had it when he came, only his bodyguards have recorded statements. He fears the perception the public would have of him if it were revealed he had with him such huge amount of money. He has asked the police to keep it secret,’’ a senior police officer told The Standard in confidence. When two of his bodyguards were questioned where they were when the bag disappeared, they explained to investigators they had gone to clear their boss’ papers with airport staff. The bodyguards reportedly went looking for the bag on Monday evening – more than ten hours after the politician’s arrival. They also later recorded statements explaining the circumstances in which they suspect the baggage went missing. Police sources at Criminal Investigations Department headquarters and JKIA revealed the bodyguards cited their boss, saying he forgot the baggage at the VIP Lounge II, as he left in a hurry to board his car on Monday. “They say the bag had a lot of money in US dollars and their boss left it in the lounge, went for a short call, came back, and sat for a short while before they stood up and left for the arrival area,” said a police source, who asked not to be named because of the sensitive nature of the loss and the orders to keep the investigations close to their chests. The circumstances around the massive loss remain mysterious because surveillance cameras, according to police sources, only recorded the politician with the bag inside the VIP Lounge II, and when he changed his seat. But the Monday morning CCTV camera footage the police have been ordered to review meticulously record the politician sitting in the lounge with his bag, but does not capture what happened to the bulky hand luggage after he rose to go to the washrooms. – The Standard

  14. After so much noise about Kibaki’s tribal appointments favoring the Kikuyu and GEMA in general, at least other tribes now have top officers in the Defence Forces.

    Gen Julius Karangi (Gikuyu) has been appointed the new Chief of Defence Forces replacing Gen Jeremiah Kianga who retires in August 31, 2011.

    General Kianga (Kamba), who has served the defence for 40 years has now been appointed chairman of the Kenya Railways Corporation.

    Maj Gen S. J Mwathathe (Mijikenda) has been promoted to Lt Gen and becomes Vice Chief of Defence Forces.

    Brig P. W. Kameru (Meru) has been promoted to Maj Gen and appointed Director of Military Intelligence.

    Brig. N. Mukala (Luhya) has been promoted to Maj Gen and appointed Commander Kenya Navy.

    Col J. M. Waweru (Gikuyu) has been promoted to Brigadier and appointed Deputy Commander of Kenya Army.

    Lt. Gen J. Kasaon (Kalenjin) is now Kenya Army’s Commander, while
    Lt Gen N. Mwaniki (Gikuyu) has been appointed Commandant of National Defence College.

    Maj. Gen J. Otieno (Luo) is now the newly appointed Commander of Kenya Air Force, whereas
    Maj. Gen. H.M. Tangai (Kalenjin) has been appointed Senior Directing Staff – National Defence College.

    Maj Gen J. N. Waweru (Gikuyu) has been appointed Commandant, Defence Staff College

  15. Uhuru resigned the Finance ministry yesterday and was immediately replaced by Githae, a fellow Kikuyu. Muthaura’s position was also taken by Kimemia, a fellow GEMA. Kimemia’s former PS position was also taken by another GEMA. Kibaki is the most tribalistic president Kenya has ever had. It does not matter that his PNU holds those dockets. They are public offices that should be occupied by other tribes outside GEMA.

  16. This is outright selfishness Kenya cannot be ruled by one community , this is makes rest of kenyans hate Kikuyus though they took advantage of national resources in the early years of independence they should also let others have a fair share too. THIS IS SAD !!!
