We members of the Unga Revolution wish to state our position on the latest development as far as the escalating food prices are concerned. We wish to state THAT:
1. While we welcome the Governments effort to reduce fuel prices, we in Unga Revolution reiterate that the issue is not the process but the obligation of the Government to the citizens as enshrined in Article 43 of the Kenyan constitution, which obliges the state to ensure that food, shelter, education, employment, security, and clean water is available to all Kenyans.
2. The Zero rating maize and wheat imports shall in the end affect the farmers who are producing the same goods in Kenya, as the Market shall be flooded by cheap imports from outside the country.
3. Claims by a section of Civil Society Groups while meeting the Energy Minister that the Mwananchi is now happy is a sham and does not represent the wish and aspirations of the majority of Kenyans who are still suffering under the increasing inflation.
4. It beats logic to increase prices by KShs. 30 only to reduce them by KShs. 7. The bottom line is that the prices are still up.
5. The move by Government does not in any way create employment opportunities to majority of Kenyan youth who are jobless.
We therefore not that as we approach this Years Labour Day commemoration on May 1st, there is need for those who are unemployed to gather together at Kamukunji Grounds for Parallel Labour Day Commemorations where resolutions shall be made and presented to the Government.
IN CONCLUSION WE ONCE MORE REFUTE THE CLAIMS BY A SECTION OF CIVIL SOCIETY GROUPS WHICH AT A MEETING WITH THE ENERGY MINISTER CLAIMED THAT KENYANS ARE NOW SATISFIED WITH THE REDUCTION AND AFFIRM THAT KENYANS STILL DEMAND THE GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY IN FULFILLING ARTICLE 43.
We welcome all to the event, which shall begin at 10.00AM.

I dont think these Guys calling themselves Unga revolution are a great Joke(rumour-mongers) becouse where we have reached as Kenyans collectively is that Kenyans has mastered Yapping and making too much noise Unlike the Ugandans who Just organised themselves and went to streets for the same reasons affecting Kenyans,.No body should take Kenyans seriously and that is One reason why every day Kenyan newspapers reporting a group of young kenyan youth are found killed and their bodies poured with acid.
And the people of kenya cannot mobilize and demand the govt to resign hence failure to secury protection.
Do kenyans have soridality?
Who be-witched the people of Kenya!
Let us wait and these Unga revolution guys will shut up as usual and go about with hunger & empty stomachs.

A five-year-old boy has been admitted to hospital after he was sexually assaulted by a pastor at Matura village in Ol Kalou.
The victim was rescued by villagers and human rights crusaders at a forest near his home and taken to Ol Kalou Sub-district Hospital.
According to Mr Wahome Kamoche, who rescued the boy, the 42-year-old suspect wooed the minor to the forest with sweets and promised to teach him how to hunt doves.
He said that the pastor also promised to buy the boy a toy car.
Relatives who heard the boy’s distress call rushed to the scene and found the man committing the heinous act.
“We found the man half naked sexually molesting the boy who was in deep pain. The pastor upon realising our presence disappeared into the bush,” noted Kamoche.
He said residents caught up with the man but attempts to lynch him were thwarted by police.
Nyandarua OCPD Jasper Ombati said that the suspect has been locked up at Ol Kalou Police Station and would soon be arraigned in court.
Kamoche who is a human rights crusader condemned the act and said such incidences were on the rise in the area.
KINALE FOREST MURDERS RESUME .OCAMPO WITNES ASASSINATED HEINOUSLY!)
Friday, 29 April 2011 00:00 BY STAR TEAM . GRIM: Police officers removes the bodies of three men killed in Kiserian.
.
Bodies of 11 people who have been shot or stabbed to death before their faces were obliterated with acid have been found in Kinale, Kajiado and Longonot areas within a week.None of the victims had any identification documents on them.
Six bodies were found in Kinale Forest on Wednesday evening by residents who informed the police. Two had bullet wounds, two had stab wounds and the remaining two seemed to have been strangled.
However the bodies of the last two victims had been disfigured by wild animals and acid. It is in the same forest that 14 bodies were found in November last year causing a public outcry.
Police from Kimende Police Post and Naivasha division CID officers yesterday removed the bodies to the Naivasha District Mortuary. However, a check by the Star established that only two bodies found dumped in the Longonot area on Wednesday were entered in the hospital mortuary register.Both bodies had bullet wounds and acid burns.
Residents said they saw a white car stop at night by the spot where they found the bodies the next morning. It was not clear where the six bodies found at Kinale were taken.
Yesterday, residents of Kisamis along the Kiserian-Magadi road in Kajiado found another three bodies with shot wounds and faces partly burnt by an acid.
John Njuki who lives near the road said he heard gunshots at around midnight but did not leave his house.“Very early in the morning, a passerby came and told me that there were three people lying dead nearby. He said that they have been shot dead and burnt by an acid. I immediately called the Ngong OCPD and the DC because I have their numbers,” he said.
Another resident Lesonko Kaiseye recounted the events of the previous night.“At around midnight, I saw the lights of a car that was hovering around here. The car kept going forward and then coming back. But I cannot tell what car it was because I stay far from the road. I only saw the lights,” Lesonko said.
Police led by Ngong OCPD Mohamed Farah and area DC Herman Kahiru took fingerprints from the three men in order to try and identify them. They estimated that the men were aged between 22 and 28 years.“I cannot speculate nor preempt the motive of the murder. That is why we called in the CID and the scenes-of-crime officers to come and verify,” said Farah.
The residents said the three men were strangers in the area since none of them could recognise them. They said it was not the first time for them to find bodies dumped in the area and claimed it was due to lack of police patrols.“This is not the first incident. Many people have been killed and their bodies dumped here. It is very sad when such young men are murdered. We just don’t have security here,” said a herdsman John Kaiseye.
Kaiseye added nothing had been done to increase security in the area where many suspected Mungiki sect members have been dumped. Last night Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere issued a statement asking the public for information leading to the arrest of the murderers.
In the statement issued on his behalf by police spokesman Erick Kiraithe, Iteere made reference to the previous murders.”Last time we had such murders reported, the perpetrators seemed to be pursuing an agenda way beyond the murders themselves. That is why this time round we have put measures to ensure that these murders don’t remain a misery,” Iteere added.
The discovery last November of 14 bodies — five of them young men from one village in Dagoretti — caused a public outcry and led to an assurance by the police that they would investigate and arrest the culprits. To date, nobody has been arrested or held responsible for the killings.
A parliamentary committee set up to investigate the Kinale murders failed to resolve the killings and only recommended that the CID fast-track their investigations into the killings which the police considered “a normal criminal incident”.
Four people whom the CID led by former Flying Squad boss Julius Sunkuli pinpointed as possible suspects — a Nakuru couple and two men — were taken to court after the couple were found in possession of a mobile phone stolen from one of the Kinale victims.

Saturday, 30 April 2011 00:02 BY STAR TEAM . MURDERED: The body of the late Bernard Kimeli being loaded in a police ambulance.
.
Former Assistant Commissioner of Police Bernard Kimeli may have been killed because of the testimony and evidence he gave to the Waki Commission probing the 2007 post election violence, the Star has established.
Police as well as sources associated with the Waki Commission confirmed that Kimeli appeared before the commission and some of the testimony he presented to the commission in camera, formed part of the evidence that the International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Luise Moreno-Ocampo intends to use in his prosecution of the seven suspects he has identified as being responsible for the post election violence.
The ICC will in September decide whether Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, Eldoret North MP William Ruto, the Head of the Public Service Francis Muthaura, former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali, Tinderet MP Henry Kosgey and radio presenter Joshua Arap Sang’ should stand trial for crimes against humanity. “Kimeli appeared before the commission in camera and in his private capacity. He gave us very useful information that helped us in deciding the final list of people who should be held greatly responsible for the post election violence. So vital was his information that we had to make special arrangements for him to come and see us,” said a former commissioner to the Waki Commission.
Kimeli was also a close friend of former Deputy Commandant of the Administration Police Oku Kaunya who was forced into exile following threats to his life and who is reported to be a possible prosecution witness during the ICC trials.
During the 2008 post election violence, Kimeli was the boss of the Kenya Police College, Kiganjo, where it is alleged meetings were held to discuss how to respond to the violence.
Kimeli, was murdered by unknown people on Tuesday at his house in Muguga Greens estate in Westlands. His killers entered his house, stabbed him several times and left the well secured estate where some of Kenya’s top civil servants live. His gun was found lying on his side. Neighbours said they did not hear any commotion.
Kimeli’s next door neighbour is deputy Police Commissioner Francis Okonya. “ It is a mystery, how strangers could have gained entry into Kimeli’s homestead without the knowledge of the sentries guarding Okonya’s home which is next door,” said a senior CID officer.
Kimeli’s widow is a senior police officer in Machakos County. Kimeli was sharing their Westlands home with their son who was living at the adjacent servants’ quarters.
Yesterday, sources at CID headquarters said Kimeli’s killers may have been known to him as there were no signs of forced entry into the house. They said the house was not ransacked but believe that the killers took away documents linked to the testimony he presented to the Waki Commission. They also say that a supply contract he had been given by a government department, which was the subject of a dispute, were also taken.
The police sources said Kimeli had kept classified information which he did not surrender when he decided to take early retirement in March 2008.
“He collected some of the information from his own trusted officers in the field in the period leading to, during elections and after President Kibaki was declared the winner. The information included the selective manner used by some partisan police commands to deal with election violence in Rift Valley,” the police sources said. “Kimeli had been ordered by some people in the government to provide undercover and uniformed police officers from the police college to do some dirty work against some ethnic communities which he refused,” said a close relative who claimed to know the existence of the classified information.
By virtue of his position as the boss of the police academy, Kimeli could authorise trainees in various ranks and categories under his command to be assigned duties of quelling the riots. However, officially, such trainees are not supposed to be involved in such tasks until they graduate from the college.
The sources said that orders were issued to Kimeli to release “the idle policemen” at the police academy to assist deal with the violence. The decision about which of the trainees was going to take part in quelling the violence was done in a selective manner because it favoured one ethnic group. “There are forces in Kenya who are fearful that the officer’s evidence could have been dangerous to some of the Ocampo Six. These people would not have wanted Kimeli to testify or provide any documentary and photographic evidence to the ICC or even a local tribunal if one is established,” said another senior officer who worked for the Waki Commission.
Kimeli’s murder raises concerns about the safety of five possible Ocampo witnesses who have yet to be taken out of the country. The five, considered important but not at risk as they were below the radar of some of the suspects and their associates, have been receiving death threats as well as being offered millions of shillings not to testify and retract their testimony to the Waki commission.
Among those fearing for their lives are policemen, whom human rights activists say were, involved in operations carried out in different parts of the country. “They too have been identified and are now living in fear. They have been told that if they are say anything incriminating any of the six they will be killed,” said an official within the human rights network.

Immigration saga not about jobs but corruption

Police arrest 35 immigrants in operationBy Njoki Ndung’u
A question put to the Minister Otieno Kajwang’ this week, ensued in heated debate around issuance of work permits for Indian and Chinese workers. Immigration and migrant labour is a legal minefield not just in Kenya, but also in the economically advanced nations both West and East.
Immigration policy often reflects the tug of war between rights and opportunities of citizens of the host country and foreign visitors seeking either political refuge or economic advancement. At best, citizens already enjoy full benefits and welcome emigrants into their home turf and workspace. The US and Nordic countries are good examples of this. At the very worst these job seekers are seen as competition for scarce public resources or job opportunities and are violently dealt with by tyre-burning mobs as we witnessed in xenophobic South Africa, not so long ago.
In Kenya we have a long history of foreign emigration including workers, soldiers, and even pseudo aristocrats of Happy Valley fame. Asians, Europeans, Nubians, Boers and other Africans from neighbouring or far off countries were all welcomed to the melting pot of Kenyan country.
My great grandfather, a Xhosa, hailed from North of Limpopo and arrived in Kenya with the Germans during World War I. He eventually settled down grooming horses of Chief Njuthia Mugane wa Njonjo who organised for him to marry a local girl.
My grandfather on my mother’s side, a Sinhalese came to Kenya as a soldier for the Italian Army in World War II he also married a local girl and two generations down the line, belonging to the nusu nusu, Obamanite, or mkosa kabila tribe, here I am! The rich heritage of our multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-coloured nation frequently informs our branding to tourists and other visitors, of Kenya as a country of hospitable and friendly people. We are also one of the most refugee friendly countries in the world having hosted hundreds of thousands of refugees from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Uganda, Southern Sudan, Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
So what explains our concern over the work permit saga? I believe it has little to do with formal immigration policy, but more to with corrupt and improper practices within the immigration sector that can and will eventually hurt tax paying citizens and foreigners whose permits are above board.
Allow me to illustrate this. In 1999, at a cocktail party in New York, I met two UN employees who introduced themselves as Kenyans, a fact that I very quickly ascertained was false. They had no recollection of living in Kenya, could not speak a word of Kiswahili and left immediately I pressed for more information. Challenged, I investigated and discovered they were holders of Kenyan passports issued in 1983 and 1988, while they were in a three-week transit between Bangladesh and the US.
The passports assured them of getting UN jobs under the Kenya quota, as the Bangladeshi one was already full.
This meant that, in collusion with Kenyan Government officials, they were fraudulently taking jobs reserved for Kenyans. During my time as a legislator, I asked the following questions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: – How many Kenyans work in international positions within the UN and the AU?
What are their names and respective positions? What is the quota in of international positions allocated to Kenya? What is the Government doing to ensure that Kenyans are employed internationally and use its quotas to the fullest extent? To date, these questions have not been answered. Therein lies the problem. Enough said.

World Bank: Kenya must account for drought money
Associated Press, 07.29.11, 10:22 AM EDT
NAIROBI, Kenya — The World Bank says it did not renew funding for a project to help more than 1 million Kenyans to withstand recurrent droughts after some money could not be accounted for.
Johannes Zutt of the World Bank said Friday the group chose not to give new funding to the Kenyan government for the Arid Lands Natural Resource Management Program until it accounts for $4.1 million that was used. The unaccounted money was part of $120 million the bank gave to the project from 2003 to 2010.
Critics say mismanagement and endemic corruption in Kenya’s government are partly to blame for the hunger situation in Kenya where the U.N. anticipates that 3.5 million people will need food assistance in coming months.
The Kenyan government says it is looking into the fraud allegations.
The Unga revolution lobby group,wants the to open countrywide feeding centers to ensure no one goes to bed hungry. The are proposing that feeding centers should be in Mosques, churches and other social places. The lobby group has in the meantime petitioned the government to address the high cost of living.
