I am soooooo glaaaaaad that someone else noticed what I noticed about that American secret serviceman shameful act. Kenya should lodge a protest and demand an apology. The issue needs to be headline news to show the hypocritical nature of the Americans, who lecture others on how they MUST drink water, whereas they themselves (Americans) indulge in heavy wine. The Kenya government and security forces should shed the inferiority complex and hustle with the Americans like the South American security guys who forcibly refused Bush security from entering the meeting hall with guns. Shame on Kenyan police officers who watched their fellow Kenyan pushed by an American. Who are the police paid to protect, Hillary or Kenyans???????/ After all Hilary came with her security even A DOG and a STEPPING STOOL because Kenya cannot afford such luxuries):::::::::::
There is no compromise on a high ranking person’s security. Here’s President Kibaki’s guards shoving aside an Iranian journalist. Journalists should know better.
KSB: You are missing the point. The difference is that the Iranian journalist was being pushed by Kenyan security IN KENYA and AFTER the journalist broke protocol. The equivalent in the American case is a situation where the Iranian journalist is roughed up by Kenyan security IN IRAN and without the journalist having broken any protocol. Remember, Hilary Clinton was not even in the vicinity where the journalist was being pushed.
Until you’ve gone through the training these security agents receive, you’ll never understand let alone appreciate what they do. But trust me that it is in the line of duty. I’d do the same. There are boundaries setup long before the dignitary arrives and they MUST be observed by ALL. I’ll point out one thing, why is he the only journalist walking in that direction?
KSB: Tom, what you are saying is that the Kenyan security did not know where the boundary is to set the rules for the journalists despite their training? I doubt whether the same scene can play itself in the United States (with Kibaki’s security pushing an American security after Kenyan police dogs have sniffed around). The big point is the relegation of Kenyan security from the operations because they are deemed inferior by the Americans?
I agree with Tom Odera. That’s how American security agents for VIP react. They take over Kenya’s airwaves plus take care of their dignitaries at all costs. Let the Kenyan government complain, or the journalist, because this is not the first and last time they will harass or maim a Kenyan in Kenya. Those lines are clear and if one crosses them, then a rough-up is guaranteed.
“Officers assigned to protect public officials must make singularly swift, on the spot, decisions whether the safety of the person they are guarding is in jeopardy,” she wrote. “In performing that protective function, they rightly take into account words spoken to, or in the proximity of, the person whose safety is their charge.”
When will the sleeping Kenyans collectively suffering from amnesia wake up and smell freedom to enable them differentiate between racism, apartheid, humiliation, degradation and normal security protocols?
The racist white Supremacist bodyguard of Clinton was displaying arrogance, hate and impunity against Niggers. He proved beyond any reasonable doubt that a nigger is an inferior idiot who should not be respected as a human being even in his/her native land.
The Kenyan journalist was mistreated in front of Kenya’s Commissioner of Police (A nut by the name Mathew Iteere) who should have been fired long ago since he ordered the Killings of Innocent Kenyans in 2007/2008 during the rigged election by Mwai Kibaki. Where, in the world, will a foreign secret service agent order a country’s Police Commissioner (the top cop) in a simple security situation which the local security could easily handle? If Iteere could not handle that situation, how can he be trusted with more complex security matter affecting the country.
Remember, Iteere led the most vicious, murderous, ruthless, and brutal anti-Kenyan forces (GSU) ever whose official Job training is to kill, rape and maim their fellow countrymen at the slightest of orders from above.

Three journalists have filed a complaint at the Eldoret police station after they were assaulted while on duty by security guards attached to the US Aid office in the town. The journalists — Simeon Chepkwony of KTN, Kevin Tunoi of Standard and James Ng’ang’a of NTV — were outside the USAid office seeking to cover a meeting between US Ambassador Scott Gration, a US Senator and Peace actors in rift valley. The security guards from KK security barred them from the meeting venue and went on to assault the journalist physically. At one point the guards attempted to confiscate the journalists’ cameras and other equipment. It took the intervention of US embassy security detail to repulse the angry guards back to the US Aid premises. Kk security has since apologized for the incident.

Narcotics drugs cited in envoy’s murder Monday, 06 August 2012 00:03 BY KAMORE MAINA
ON TRIAL: Dwight Saragay is escorted to the Milimani courts in Nairobi, where he was charged with the murder of the Venezuelan ambassador last week. Photo/FILE
Police are pursuing clues linking drug traffickers to the murder of Venezuela acting ambassador Olga Fonseca who was found strangled in her residence on July 27. Multiple sources said they had received reports indicating that some official or officials at the embassy had been using their diplomatic privileges to traffic in drugs.
They said that changes introduced by the envoy soon after she arrived in Kenya on July 15 may have displeased some of these officials who no longer had access to the diplomatic parcels. Fonseca replaced ambassador Gerardo Carillo- Silva who left the country in May soon after he was accused of sexual harassment by some of his staff at the embassy residence.
According to the police, the envoy’s decision reportedly caused friction in the embassy and may have contributed to her murder. The sources who did not want to be identified however said the investigators were wary of aggressively pursuing the drug trafficking allegations for fear of causing a diplomatic row between Kenya and Venezuela.
According to the information they had received, the police linked some of the embassy staff, a few locals and some foreigners in drug trafficking. The sources said the drugs were being brought into the country as diplomatic parcels which, under the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, are not subjected to security checks.
Article 27 (3) of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961) provides that “The diplomatic bag shall not be opened or detained.” Though the provision is clear the packages constituting the diplomatic bag must bear visible external marks of their character and may contain only diplomatic documents or articles intended for official use, such privileges can easily be misused especially if embassy officials in two different countries collude to transport illegal substances. The police have no right to even stop or inspect a vehicle carrying diplomatic cargo from or to the airport. Infact, police are required to provide security for its transport without any questions.
Article 27 (5) reads that “The diplomatic courier, who shall be provided with an official document indicating his status and the number of packages constituting the diplomatic bag, shall be protected by the receiving State in the performance of his functions. He shall enjoy person inviolability and shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention.”
Article 27 (6) adds that “The sending State or the mission may designate diplomatic couriers ad hoc. In such cases the provisions of paragraph 5 of this article shall also apply, except that the immunities therein mentioned shall cease to apply when such a courier has delivered to the consignee the diplomatic bag in his charge.” The cargo applies for both maritime and aerial transportation.
The same convention also bars diplomats from abusing these privileges and immunities and requires that they respect the laws and regulations of the receiving state. Yesterday, police sources said they would this week seek the assistance of the Foreign Affairs ministry as they continue their investigations.
Their hunt for Dr Ahmed Mohammed, the house mate of the embassy’s First Secretary Dwight Sagaray, was still on. By yesterday, police were confident that Ahmed was still in the country. They were following leads that he was being given sanctuary by a women friend at Runda. On the eve of the murder, Ahmed took the ambassador’s vehicle, drove around with it most of the night before taking it back to the residence at dawn and leaving with the keys. A few hours later, Fonseca’s was found strangled in her bedroom.
Sagaray is still being held at the Gigiri police station as police continue with their investigations. Sagaray has appeared in court but was not charged with murder. Two security guards— Eliud Kimutai and Benerad Owino— who were on duty have denied charges of failing to prevent the murder and were released on a Sh100,000 cash bail and a Sh500,000 surety. Their case will be heard on August 27.

xMr Lori Thaks hence Silly ,stupid Bongos share the same Sadaam husein Pit-hole only to be smoked by Genius and intelligent Americans!
Why cant you think beyond TOM Odera?
What are you sharing with him if not the nooks & niggarism well known for ages >Ati blacks are Monkeys! Who will&should serve White People!
Remove the worst chains in your imprisoned brain!and fly-sky-high!
Gilby, there is no point calling those with their opinions “brainwashed”. Commentators 5 & 6 have stuck to Secret Service matters without insulting anyone. You cannot sue the Secret Service as long as they’re doing their work. Whenever Clinton or other American VIPs come to Kenya, they jam the airwaves. How about that to you?
Read comment no. 8 and watch video on comment 2 to elevate your brain from laziness and ignorance.
Sorensson #10: You are the one who is primitive, silly and stupid for calling Tom Odera’s view as such. He was intelligent enough to explain how the Secret Service agents are trained to deal with such situations and was not abusive to anyone. Why can’t you reason better than the ape you refer to? Gather information about the Secret Service operations around high level dignitaries then come and argue. Stop displaying your primitive reasoning on others who have not called you names.
Some are using this post to settle scores. Whatever it is that you have suffered or for whatever reason it is that you hate America, I wish that we could post with respect for self if not others. Do your research well and make an informed comment. We are here to learn and not to settle scores. Those dignitaries are the apple of their nation’s eyes and they will do everything that is needed to keep them alive. We must not forget that even the dignitaries are under specific instructions and when they violate them, they are stood down. Immediately after the 9/11, George Bush was grounded by his security detail for 3.5hrs. He had no authority over himself whatsoever. Rant and call others all you want, but America remains regardless of political sovereignity. So if you feel pained that they did it their way, don’t invite them over.
Tom Odera, stay put because you are so relevant – I like your defence. Almost 50 years ago, the then US President John F. Kennedy defied orders from the Secret Service, by demanding to ride in an open limo which led to his fatal attack.
In Kenya, the late Tom Mboya, in 1969, regardless of Intelligence warnings that his life was in danger without bodyguards, went to a pharmacy to buy medicine. The rest is history.
The President body-guards are taught how to behave and to act differently depending in which country they are Visiting /operating Forexample USA President body-gurds wont behave that way in Shangai /Pyongyang (North Korea) or in Russia . But in Kenya , Haiti, Uganda and in any Blackmans Nation they will beat &kick and insult , humiliate black Journalists.
The net value here is zero; all these are former PNU conglomerates who has mutated to funny new names. What is significant is that they are minus Ford-Kenya and Kanu thus narrowing the alliance deeper to confines of Mt Kenya ethnic enclave. Until either Kalonzo, Ruto or MM (Wamalwa is insignificant) dropping out to back him, Uhuru should count himself “a Lesotho” candidate. That status-quo is a guarantee for his defeat, second round or not.
Hija Gatame #14: There are legal channels of dealing with your insults, if push comes to shove. Don’t think smoking you out would be a problem.

In a contribution to the Kiss FM Big Breakfast show, Tusker Project Fame Judge Ian Mbugua, said he was actually happy that the best TPF contestant, Ruth Matete, won. He had shivers because the ‘voting patterns of Kenyans are erratic and ridiculous.’ People have no regard for talent and ability, and prefer to vote their friends and tribe mates. In twitter and Facebook, the contest between Ruth and the second contestant, Doreen, turned into a political contest, an ODM and TNA contest, where voters couldn’t look past their party and tribe affiliation, just in a bid to vote or save one of their ‘own’. If Kenyans’ voting patterns are as erratic as this, then our best hope lies in a benevolent dictator.
Having a benevolent dictator is not that bad at all. Consider the countries which you admire at the moment. Singapore, with its dictatorial leader Lee Kuan Yew, is one of the economic wonders of the world, transforming from a desolate harbor to a city-state that is a global centre of commerce. Singapore is now among the first destinations that come to mind when one wants to invest in the Asia-Pacific region.
China’s communist party system has ensured double digit growth for the country for each of the past 20 years. In that period, China has grown from an impoverished Third World country to an emerging economy, and the largest creditor to the United States. If China stopped buying the US government bonds, the US economy would collapse like a house of cards. In Africa, the iconic Africa Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was designed, financed, and built by the Chinese.
In China, thanks to the one party system which borders on state dictatorship, if you are caught stealing or embezzling funds, you are put on a football field and shot; there are no two ways about it. No lengthy court processes, no parliamentary committees, no commission of enquiries whose findings you never get to hear. Only after Kenyans are mature enough to elect a President based on talent and ability alone should they be allowed to vote. Otherwise, the whole voting process and democracy seems like one big circus.
Civil society up in arms over Integrity Bill
Posted by MARGARET WAHITO on August 12, 2012
NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 12 – A section of the civil society has threatened to go to court if Parliament approves the Leadership and Integrity Bill as was presented by the government.
They say the Cabinet removed key sections of the Bill that would have ensured that Kenyans get proper leaders especially after the next elections.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, the National Civil Society Congress Coordinator Suba Churchill called on Parliament not to pass the Bill.
“There are no mechanisms in that Bill for ensuring that those who will be nominated and cleared to run for elective positions are properly vetted; that they are asked some of the most ‘embarrassing’ questions that we saw even our own Chief Justice being asked, “ protested Churchill.
Some of the provisions deleted by the Cabinet include Declaration of Assets, Income and Liability of State officers and Certificate of Compliance with Chapter Six of the Constitution, for persons seeking election or appointment to State office.
The President of the Congress Morris Odhiambo has also called on the government to allow full citizen contribution to such key Bills to avoid manipulation.
“Leadership and Integrity; that is what the 2013 general elections is all about across the board; from the presidency right down to the ward representative. And even when we come to establishing even the village councils, it must be leadership with integrity, “said Odhiambo.
They also feel that there is a deliberate plan by politicians to interfere with the Constitutional Commissions especially the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC).
They added that the more there is interference in these and other key commissions, the less they will be able to accomplish their given mandate.
“The Constitutional commissions mandated with the big responsibility of implementing reforms must awaken to the reality of new dispensation and therefore begin to shrug off the shackles of fatigue and unnecessary frustrations, “said Ochieng Khairalla,Executive Director for Citizen Coalition for Constitution Culture (4Cs-Trust).

I want to thank the Justice for receiving me today. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss with him the progress of the constitutional reform. When the people of Kenya adopted your new constitution, the judiciary was given significant responsibilities, and I am very pleased to hear the progress that is being made. However, I am well aware that there are many issues yet to be decided and many laws to be passed (inaudible).
I discussed with the Chief Justice the upcoming elections next year, which will be so consequential for Kenya. And the United States has pledged to assist the Government and people of Kenya in ensuring that the upcoming elections are free, fair, and transparent, which is the very gift that the people of Kenya gave themselves by passing that new constitution. And we urge that the nation come together and prepare for elections that will be a real model for the entire world.
And again, I thank the Chief Justice for the important role that you and your team are playing. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Remarks

Nairobi, Kenya
August 4, 2012
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, first of all, let me say how pleased I am to be meeting with representatives of the Kenyan Elections Commission and civil society at such an important time in the history of this great country.
I’ve had the opportunity already today in my meetings with the President and the Prime Minister, with the Chief Justice and the Speaker, to discuss the importance of a credible, transparent, free, and fair election process. The Kenyan people have demonstrated a great commitment to their own democracy, most recently with the successful referendum on the new constitution.
But we know that there are challenges, and this is the opportunity to meet those going forward. Not only is this important for the people of Kenya, but the eyes of the world will be on this election. And I have absolute confidence that Kenya has a chance to be a model for other nations, not just here in Africa but around the world.
On the other hand, the unrest that can result from a disputed election has a terrible cost, both in lives lost and in economic impact. The instability that followed the last election cost the Kenyan economy, by most estimates, more than one billion dollars. So it’s essential for government and civil society to work together. And of course, the Elections Commission has a special responsibility to ensure that the votes and aspirations of the people are reflected accurately and fairly.
And so I’m here today to listen and learn what the United States can do to support these very important efforts. We are committed to our partnership. We are proud to be a partner and a friend of Kenya, and we want to continue doing all we can to help this country continue its path forward.
So with that, I’ll take maybe one or two questions.
MODERATOR: The gentleman over here, by the camera.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Yes, sir.
QUESTION: Thank you, Madam Secretary. My name is (inaudible). (Inaudible) Chinese influence? And second question is (inaudible) will you come to terms?
SECRETARY CLINTON: Can I come what?
QUESTION: To terms.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Terms. Come to terms. Well, on the first question, the United States has a long history in Africa, working with countries on behalf of democracy and human rights, on behalf of healthcare and education, on economic development. We have signature programs like the African Growth and Opportunity Act, like the PEPFAR program for HIV/AIDS, for the Feed the Future program to improve agricultural output. Our emphasis has always been on supporting the lives of individuals and the democratic aspirations of people. So that is the value of what we try to offer. So what we’re interested in is how to be the best partner and friend. And that’s what I’m doing here in Kenya. We had a series of very comprehensive and constructive meetings today on a full range of issues that are important bilaterally between us, but also regionally and globally.
Of course, what happens in the elections is up to the people of Kenya. They’re the ones who will make the decisions. But we, as a partner and friend, are certainly hoping that this election, which is a complex election – there are many different ballot positions that will all be voted on the same time – goes so smoothly that everyone is so proud the next day because of what has been achieved, and that people who are unsuccessful – remember I’ve been in politics. I have won elections and I have lost elections. And when you lose an election and when your supporters see you lose and election, it’s important that they have to see that the process was fair. And that’s what we hope for here for our friends in Kenya.
MODERATOR: I think Matt had a question.
QUESTION: Yes, I do. Madam Secretary, you know – as you know, the South Sudan and Sudan have come to an agreement on oil (inaudible). I was wondering a) what do you think about? And also B) what would constitute similar success from your visits to Uganda? Would that be – what would that be, (inaudible) in the way of success and also (inaudible) hunt for Joseph Kony? And then again, (inaudible) that kind of success?
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I welcome the agreement on oil reached between the Republic of South Sudan and the Republic of Sudan. This agreement reflects leadership and a new spirit of compromise on both sides. And I particularly praise the courage of the Republic of South Sudan leadership in taking this decision.
As I said in Juba yesterday, the interests of the people of South Sudan were truly at stake. The oil impasse has lasted more than six months. It was time to bring it to a close for the good of the people of South Sudan and their aspirations for a better future amidst the many challenges they face there, a nation that’s only one year and a few days old. And they have to turn to educating their people, providing healthcare, establishing strong democratic institutions.
And South Sudan’s leaders, led by President Salva Kiir, have really risen to the occasion, for which they deserve a great deal of credit. They tabled a bold, comprehensive proposal in the latest round of talks and an agreement was hammered out with the strong assistance of the African Union. And I think it’s to the great benefit of South Sudan and to Sudan.
Regarding your second and third questions, it is a great privilege and pleasure for me to be traveling as I am this week throughout Africa, meeting with a lot of old friends and meeting new people who are committed to the futures of their countries.
Clearly, we are very focused on the international hunt for Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army that has caused so much terrible damage and violence over so many years, and we had very good discussions with the Uganda People’s Defense Force on that. And we also covered a range of issues in my long conversation with President Museveni that we will be following up on.
And similarly here in Kenya, we’ve had very comprehensive discussions on economics, on humanitarian issues, the refugee issues, the very important contributions that Kenyan forces are making to AMISOM, to the work we’re doing in agriculture and so much else. And now I’m looking forward to hearing from the Elections Commission. Thank you all.
I am soooooo glaaaaaad that someone else noticed what I noticed about that American secret serviceman shameful act. Kenya should lodge a protest and demand an apology. The issue needs to be headline news to show the hypocritical nature of the Americans, who lecture others on how they MUST drink water, whereas they themselves (Americans) indulge in heavy wine.

Gilby, there is no point calling those with their opinions “brainwashed”. Commentators 5 & 6 have stuck to Secret Service matters without insulting anyone. You cannot sue the Secret Service as long as they’re doing their work. Whenever Clinton or other American VIPs come to Kenya, they jam the airwaves. How about that to you?
Read comment no. 8 and watch video on comment 2 to elevate your brain from laziness and ignorance.
Sorensson #10: You are the one who is primitive, silly and stupid for calling Tom Odera’s view as such. He was intelligent enough to explain how the Secret Service agents are trained to deal with such situations and was not abusive to anyone. Why can’t you reason better than the ape you refer to? Gather information about the Secret Service operations around high level dignitaries then come and argue. Stop displaying your primitive reasoning on others who have not called you names.

Some are using this post to settle scores. Whatever it is that you have suffered or for whatever reason it is that you hate America, I wish that we could post with respect for self if not others. Do your research well and make an informed comment. We are here to learn and not to settle scores. Those dignitaries are the apple of their nation’s eyes and they will do everything that is needed to keep them alive. We must not forget that even the dignitaries are under specific instructions and when they violate them, they are stood down. Immediately after the 9/11, George Bush was grounded by his security detail for 3.5hrs. He had no authority over himself whatsoever. Rant and call others all you want, but America remains regardless of political sovereignity. So if you feel pained that they did it their way, don’t invite them over.
Tom Odera, stay put because you are so relevant – I like your defence. Almost 50 years ago, the then US President John F. Kennedy defied orders from the Secret Service, by demanding to ride in an open limo which led to his fatal attack.
In Kenya, the late Tom Mboya, in 1969, regardless of Intelligence warnings that his life was in danger without bodyguards, went to a pharmacy to buy medicine. The rest is history.
The President body-guards are taught how to behave and to act differently depending in which country they are Visiting /operating Forexample USA President body-gurds wont behave that way in Shangai /Pyongyang (North Korea) or in Russia . But in Kenya , Haiti, Uganda and in any Blackmans Nation they will beat &kick and insult , humiliate black Journalists.

The net value here is zero; all these are former PNU conglomerates who has mutated to funny new names. What is significant is that they are minus Ford-Kenya and Kanu thus narrowing the alliance deeper to confines of Mt Kenya ethnic enclave. Until either Kalonzo, Ruto or MM (Wamalwa is insignificant) dropping out to back him, Uhuru should count himself “a Lesotho” candidate. That status-quo is a guarantee for his defeat, second round or not.
Hija Gatame #14: There are legal channels of dealing with your insults, if push comes to shove. Don’t think smoking you out would be a problem.

Maybe all Kenya needs is a Benevolent Dictator .
Saturday, 11 August 2012 00:10 BY COLLINS MABINDA
.
In a contribution to the Kiss FM Big Breakfast show, Tusker Project Fame Judge Ian Mbugua, said he was actually happy that the best TPF contestant, Ruth Matete, won. He had shivers because the ‘voting patterns of Kenyans are erratic and ridiculous.’ People have no regard for talent and ability, and prefer to vote their friends and tribe mates. In twitter and Facebook, the contest between Ruth and the second contestant, Doreen, turned into a political contest, an ODM and TNA contest, where voters couldn’t look past their party and tribe affiliation, just in a bid to vote or save one of their ‘own’. If Kenyans’ voting patterns are as erratic as this, then our best hope lies in a benevolent dictator.
Having a benevolent dictator is not that bad at all. Consider the countries which you admire at the moment. Singapore, with its dictatorial leader Lee Kuan Yew, is one of the economic wonders of the world, transforming from a desolate harbor to a city-state that is a global centre of commerce. Singapore is now among the first destinations that come to mind when one wants to invest in the Asia-Pacific region.
China’s communist party system has ensured double digit growth for the country for each of the past 20 years. In that period, China has grown from an impoverished Third World country to an emerging economy, and the largest creditor to the United States. If China stopped buying the US government bonds, the US economy would collapse like a house of cards. In Africa, the iconic Africa Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was designed, financed, and built by the Chinese.
In China, thanks to the one party system which borders on state dictatorship, if you are caught stealing or embezzling funds, you are put on a football field and shot; there are no two ways about it. No lengthy court processes, no parliamentary committees, no commission of enquiries whose findings you never get to hear. Only after Kenyans are mature enough to elect a President based on talent and ability alone should they be allowed to vote. Otherwise, the whole voting process and democracy seems like one big circus.
Civil society up in arms over Integrity Bill
Posted by MARGARET WAHITO on August 12, 2012
NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 12 – A section of the civil society has threatened to go to court if Parliament approves the Leadership and Integrity Bill as was presented by the government.
They say the Cabinet removed key sections of the Bill that would have ensured that Kenyans get proper leaders especially after the next elections.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, the National Civil Society Congress Coordinator Suba Churchill called on Parliament not to pass the Bill.
“There are no mechanisms in that Bill for ensuring that those who will be nominated and cleared to run for elective positions are properly vetted; that they are asked some of the most ‘embarrassing’ questions that we saw even our own Chief Justice being asked, “ protested Churchill.
Some of the provisions deleted by the Cabinet include Declaration of Assets, Income and Liability of State officers and Certificate of Compliance with Chapter Six of the Constitution, for persons seeking election or appointment to State office.
The President of the Congress Morris Odhiambo has also called on the government to allow full citizen contribution to such key Bills to avoid manipulation.
“Leadership and Integrity; that is what the 2013 general elections is all about across the board; from the presidency right down to the ward representative. And even when we come to establishing even the village councils, it must be leadership with integrity, “said Odhiambo.
They also feel that there is a deliberate plan by politicians to interfere with the Constitutional Commissions especially the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC).
They added that the more there is interference in these and other key commissions, the less they will be able to accomplish their given mandate.
“The Constitutional commissions mandated with the big responsibility of implementing reforms must awaken to the reality of new dispensation and therefore begin to shrug off the shackles of fatigue and unnecessary frustrations, “said Ochieng Khairalla,Executive Director for Citizen Coalition for Constitution Culture (4Cs-Trust).

I want to thank the Justice for receiving me today. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss with him the progress of the constitutional reform. When the people of Kenya adopted your new constitution, the judiciary was given significant responsibilities, and I am very pleased to hear the progress that is being made. However, I am well aware that there are many issues yet to be decided and many laws to be passed (inaudible).
I discussed with the Chief Justice the upcoming elections next year, which will be so consequential for Kenya. And the United States has pledged to assist the Government and people of Kenya in ensuring that the upcoming elections are free, fair, and transparent, which is the very gift that the people of Kenya gave themselves by passing that new constitution. And we urge that the nation come together and prepare for elections that will be a real model for the entire world.
And again, I thank the Chief Justice for the important role that you and your team are playing. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Remarks

Nairobi, Kenya

SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, first of all, let me say how pleased I am to be meeting with representatives of the Kenyan Elections Commission and civil society at such an important time in the history of this great country.
I’ve had the opportunity already today in my meetings with the President and the Prime Minister, with the Chief Justice and the Speaker, to discuss the importance of a credible, transparent, free, and fair election process. The Kenyan people have demonstrated a great commitment to their own democracy, most recently with the successful referendum on the new constitution.
But we know that there are challenges, and this is the opportunity to meet those going forward. Not only is this important for the people of Kenya, but the eyes of the world will be on this election. And I have absolute confidence that Kenya has a chance to be a model for other nations, not just here in Africa but around the world.
On the other hand, the unrest that can result from a disputed election has a terrible cost, both in lives lost and in economic impact. The instability that followed the last election cost the Kenyan economy, by most estimates, more than one billion dollars. So it’s essential for government and civil society to work together. And of course, the Elections Commission has a special responsibility to ensure that the votes and aspirations of the people are reflected accurately and fairly.
And so I’m here today to listen and learn what the United States can do to support these very important efforts. We are committed to our partnership. We are proud to be a partner and a friend of Kenya, and we want to continue doing all we can to help this country continue its path forward.
So with that, I’ll take maybe one or two questions.
MODERATOR: The gentleman over here, by the camera.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Yes, sir.
QUESTION: Thank you, Madam Secretary. My name is (inaudible). (Inaudible) Chinese influence? And second question is (inaudible) will you come to terms?
SECRETARY CLINTON: Can I come what?
QUESTION: To terms.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Terms. Come to terms. Well, on the first question, the United States has a long history in Africa, working with countries on behalf of democracy and human rights, on behalf of healthcare and education, on economic development. We have signature programs like the African Growth and Opportunity Act, like the PEPFAR program for HIV/AIDS, for the Feed the Future program to improve agricultural output. Our emphasis has always been on supporting the lives of individuals and the democratic aspirations of people. So that is the value of what we try to offer. So what we’re interested in is how to be the best partner and friend. And that’s what I’m doing here in Kenya. We had a series of very comprehensive and constructive meetings today on a full range of issues that are important bilaterally between us, but also regionally and globally.
Of course, what happens in the elections is up to the people of Kenya. They’re the ones who will make the decisions. But we, as a partner and friend, are certainly hoping that this election, which is a complex election – there are many different ballot positions that will all be voted on the same time – goes so smoothly that everyone is so proud the next day because of what has been achieved, and that people who are unsuccessful – remember I’ve been in politics. I have won elections and I have lost elections. And when you lose an election and when your supporters see you lose and election, it’s important that they have to see that the process was fair. And that’s what we hope for here for our friends in Kenya.
MODERATOR: I think Matt had a question.
QUESTION: Yes, I do. Madam Secretary, you know – as you know, the South Sudan and Sudan have come to an agreement on oil (inaudible). I was wondering a) what do you think about? And also B) what would constitute similar success from your visits to Uganda? Would that be – what would that be, (inaudible) in the way of success and also (inaudible) hunt for Joseph Kony? And then again, (inaudible) that kind of success?
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I welcome the agreement on oil reached between the Republic of South Sudan and the Republic of Sudan. This agreement reflects leadership and a new spirit of compromise on both sides. And I particularly praise the courage of the Republic of South Sudan leadership in taking this decision.
As I said in Juba yesterday, the interests of the people of South Sudan were truly at stake. The oil impasse has lasted more than six months. It was time to bring it to a close for the good of the people of South Sudan and their aspirations for a better future amidst the many challenges they face there, a nation that’s only one year and a few days old. And they have to turn to educating their people, providing healthcare, establishing strong democratic institutions.
And South Sudan’s leaders, led by President Salva Kiir, have really risen to the occasion, for which they deserve a great deal of credit. They tabled a bold, comprehensive proposal in the latest round of talks and an agreement was hammered out with the strong assistance of the African Union. And I think it’s to the great benefit of South Sudan and to Sudan.
Regarding your second and third questions, it is a great privilege and pleasure for me to be traveling as I am this week throughout Africa, meeting with a lot of old friends and meeting new people who are committed to the futures of their countries.
Clearly, we are very focused on the international hunt for Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army that has caused so much terrible damage and violence over so many years, and we had very good discussions with the Uganda People’s Defense Force on that. And we also covered a range of issues in my long conversation with President Museveni that we will be following up on.
And similarly here in Kenya, we’ve had very comprehensive discussions on economics, on humanitarian issues, the refugee issues, the very important contributions that Kenyan forces are making to AMISOM, to the work we’re doing in agriculture and so much else. And now I’m looking forward to hearing from the Elections Commission. Thank you all.
