One more step Raila, not there yet and Moving forward

RAILA has to submit his withdrawal through FORM 24A.

In legal notice No. 72 of 25th April 2017, the Elections act of 2011 was amended to include among other issues the legal procedure of withdrawal from a presidential race or any other for that context.
It recognizes withdrawal through submission of FORM 24A.

If Raila submits the Form 24A, Elections will be on 10th January 2018.

But wait a minute, what are the options for Uhuru going forward?

UHURU is a visibly angry president in all fronts and the unthinkable to Kenyans may happen.

In TOTAL DISREGARD of the SCOK judgement of 2013 and just like Kibaki, Uhuru MAY take advantage of the confussion of interpretation of the constitution and be SWORN IN as the duly elected president after the withdrawal of Raila.

THIS WILL BE A RECIPE FOR CHAOS.

Maybe I should start stocking food.

If that happens, there is ANOTHER OPTION for Raila:

TABLING A CASE AGAINST THE TERM LIMIT OF UHURU KENYATTA BEFORE JUSTICE MARAGA and the dissenting judges.

Raila’s lawyers will argue out on the 1st of November 2017 that Uhuru’s term in office expired on the 31st Oct 2017 and is therefore IMPROPERLY SITTING AGAINST THE LAW.

Justice Kenani Maraga,a LAW FUNDEMENTALIST will rule in favor of the law. Uhuru will have to leave power and contest afresh in the FRESH ELECTIONS.

This will necessitate the formation of a CARETAKER GOVERNMENT headed by the speaker of the National Assembly for the 90 days. A reason why Jubilee shouldnt celebrate yet the withdrawal of Raila Odinga.

It is ABSOLUTE MY PEOPLE, meanwhile the call for reforms at IEBC MUST continue according to Orengo James:NASA lead counsel.

JUSTICE BE THE SHIELD AND DEFENDER

I may be wrong OR am I??

RAILA MUST AVOID THE POLLS ON 26TH, read on…

Depending on where you stand,i do not object your opinion but this is my opinion on Raila Odinga moving forward.

Tyree Scott, once a respected philosopher rightly placed it that you cannot allow those who caused a problem develop the solution.

IEBC is apparently in a boardroom war with edgy pushing amongst the key staff. They will NOT DELIVER a win for Raila if the same individuals remain as such heading to the new elections.

Therefore, Rt. Hon Raila Odinga, susia uchaguzi ujao. DO NOT PARTICIPATE. CALL FOR A BOYCOTT AMONG YOUR SUPPORTERS.

Kenya has a bigger war than the ones you’ve fought in the past.

Taking two steps back after making one ahead is a strategy. This is exactly what you HAVE to do.

look beyond 26th October.

With the straight faced lying Chiloba still in office, Baba you are in for a rude shock. AVOID 26TH AS A PLAGUE and free this nation from itself. It is eating up itself as spearheaded by corruption and greed.

In its normal state, a government is a MONSTER, how about when it is dissapointed, angry, or it’s leaders besieged by GRAFT, GREED, CLUMSINESS, and worse of all HUNGER FOR POWER?

it is time to own up and tell your supporters to AVOID the polls and prepare for the war ahead.

Uhuru Kenyatta is an ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT, lame duck for the rest of the term.

Uhuru will be done in 5years. Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, Focus beyond 5yeara of Uhuru Kenyatta. By 2022,you will be at the best position to influence the future of this nation.

I MAY BE WRONG OR AM I?

POOR PAY, MEDIA COMMERCIALIZATION has KILLED JOURNALISM

.

Arguably, Journalism is DEAD.

Between the CATHEDRAL and the STOCK MARKET lives the MIDDLE GROUND – the 4th Estate Role of now The Media.

The Media comprises main stream broadcast platforms, social media, and The Press(newspapers,magazines,and other publications).

The act of gathering,filing,and broadcasting factual data that meets news standards as set out in journalism research publications and academic tutorials is what I refer to as Journalism which today I call LATE.

It is of INTEREST to know how Journalism arrived at its DEATHBED, precisely, and how the KILLERS of the then noble profession exactly orchestrated the act.

The cathedral represents MORALITY and ETHICS of the profession as the stock market represents the profit reflex.

Rupert Murdoch today blames the digital media over invasion into the market place of the Giant press entities. Though not known to him is the fact that the duopoly by online tech companies is a CIVILIAN COUP on the watchdog that has since been strangled by profit graphs rising from consistent prowling escapades with the same Cathedral interest points.

Doubled with POOR REMUNERATION by the multi-billion firms, the final nail on Journalism’s casket has been driven.

Surely, how on Earth would you pay a scribe peanut wages bordering low end construction workers to cover High stake stories in which they WILL be offered one off hefty packages and still expect integrity of the stories to stand?

This is a DESIGNED ROT just like the failed polio vaccine test in Congo that led to HIV commencement.

The beauty however is that it would have been corrected but just like HIV, we still do not know whether or not there is a cure.

Barrack Muluka, a renowned Kenyan communication pro accommodates my sentiments that Journalism is greatly proliferated by commercial investors whose sole interest is in the behavior of FIGURES at the stock market.

These same persons sit in the editorials through their irregulars greatly ADULTERATING news content.

In Media ethics as I was lectured by my good Friend Jaspher Ater,Journalists MUST at all time respect their calling and maintain their INTEGRITY of practise.

The question however is: WHAT IS INTEGRITY THAT IS UNDER CONSTANT TEMPATATION AND ECONOMIC PRESSURE with JOKE incomes?

I opine therefore as follows:

The Death was inevitable but could be prevented.

The profession has to be reborn in completely fresh and newly structured manner to control the “Technology Duopoly” that has eaten up into the the marketshare of mainstream media.

Scientific research outlining the operating mode and growth projection of the yet to be reborn profession with proper implementable strategies to be carried out.

Media owners must restrict themselves to the stock exchange,the profit reflex as it is will still be reactive to media stimuli.

Or maybe just forget about journalism and embrace public relations.

I MAY BE WRONG!!!! OR AM I?

29th October 2014,

Burkina Faso’s parliament is set ablaze by a multitude of citizens after realizing that there are intentions to amend the constitution to accommodate Mr. Blaise Compaore to contest another term in office.

A set of other municipal offices across the nation was also razed to the ground by raging fire from the Burkinarbs.

Their statement was simple,

“NO TO BAD LAWS and POOR GOVERNANCE . ”

THE LAW OF NATURE is simple:

You LEAD only if the electorate so far aren’t yet FED UP with you.

The Sub Saharan Africa is waking up to democracy. YES, a new wave is slowly creeping into the Lifetime presidents and Tyrants backyards earning them Gaddaffi Final hours fantasies.

When Bad Law and Tyranny takes over, resistance MUST be law.

I am not a story teller. #RESISTBADLAW Thank you. Take Action.

Governor Jack Ranguma gave the contractors one month to ensure quality roads and infrastructure are done in Kisumu.

“After one month, contractors who fail to comply with the set standards will not work with us and we will not pay them,” he said.

He said the county has formed project management committees, composed of members from areas where the projects are being undertaken, to supervise the work done.

He said the service delivery unit will certify that the roadworks have been done to the required specifications.

“We will only pay the contractors once the project management committees have given the work a clean bill of health,” the governor said.

Contractors who do not complete their work as required will be deregistered and never awarded a tender in the county, he said.

The governor spoke on Monday when he toured various projects in Seme subcounty. He also distributed Sh7.8 million bursary cheques.

Residents have complained of shoddy work and questioned why contractors are paid for substandard work.

WHY 2017 PRESIDENTIAL RACE REMAINS TRICKY FOR KENYAS UNITY

by East Africa Now, posted in Uncategorized

Kenya is gearing up for the 2017 presidential race and election mode.

Most if not all politicians are classifying themselves into camps lest they be duped into political oblivion.

In the wise words of my good friend Prof Makau Mutua, this country is now more at risk of the collapse into civil war in the next general election.

To avoid empty speak this is my reasonation and personal opinion which i seek your seconding if at all it appeals to the logic of your personality.

Prayer rallies on ICC being held in favor of the deputy president and journalist Sang only place the country into a zoning mode.

The prayers are not safe and i know this you can comprehend.

Jubilee alliance on the hand has broken ranks with Ruto and likes in URP leaving this country at an anxious situation. What will happen if Ruto joins CORD and the incumbent protect his seat at all “costs?”

Thirdly, mega corruption in the government and cartel control of the same government also leaves the country at the mercy of a few tycoons who own the systems.

Lastly, major arms of the top government are having key recruitment and replacement of top officials. This holds the country at catch 22 in which serving a master and loyalty to the political deities determine who becomes the CJ and who succeeds Isaac Hassan.

My fellow country men, this one is tricky.
