Mama Ngina Visits Retired President Moi Amid Fears that Gideon Moi will Join NASA and Uhuru is Headed to Defeat

Mama Ngina today flew on a private charter to meet with Moi at Kabarak !!!!

The unusual visit has been prompted by a confidential NSI report projecting a first round loss for Uhuru in August.

The public booing and humiliation suffered by both President Uhuru (in Mombasa) and DP Ruto (in Rift Valley and Nyanza) has only added fuel to a raging fire.

Mama Ngina made the unscheduled visit to Kabarak to urge him to persuade his son Baringo Senator Gideon Moi not to join the increasingly popular opposition super alliance NASA.

So alarmed by the threat posed by NASA are the power-brokers that informed sources say Mama Ngina is prepared to throw DP Ruto under the bus to ensure the two dominant families avoid the transformative Raila – presidency at all costs.

The panic was underlined in Uhuru’s first ever radio interview yesterday on Kameme FM, where he poured vitriol on Opposition and blamed Raila for everything that has gone wrong with Jubilee administration.

To make it worse, recent democratic regime change events in Africa, especially in Ghana and Gambia has not given any comfort to the Kenyattas and the NSI report only rubbed salt into an already open wound.

Key business personalities with significant stakes at the NSE have withdrawn their support for the fast crumbling Uhuruto regime after they suffered losses running to billions of shillings.

The NSE was ranked the worst performing stock market in the world as stock prices fell a record low in 2017.

People are questioning the wisdom of approaching the elderly and ailing Moi with complex political problems since the ex-President is reportedly exhibiting signs of dementia and who now has a permanent medical team standing by at his Kabarak home.

12 Mega Corruption Scandals Killing the Jubilee Government


President Kenyatta with his deputy William Ruto at a press briefing

Well, as the August 2017 general elections draw nearer and nearer, it is wise to revisit the achievements of the Jubilee regime, which majorly is massive looting of public resources.

I have compiled a list of the major corruption scandals carried out under the full watch of the Jubilee regime.

Laptop Tendering Scandal: the whereabouts of 53 billion shillings allocated to the project and tendered to Olive Technologies is unknown particularly after the court rejected the laptop tendering given that the company had no financial capacity to deliver the laptops.

The Eurobond scandal: in 2014, the Kenyan government borrowed over 250 billion shillings as Eurobond which was meant to pay previous governmental debts and fund various infrastructural development projects in the country. Early last year, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga emerged with allegations that over 100 billion shillings from the Eurobond proceedings had been misappropriated. A report by the the Auditor General Edward Ouko in September 2016 revealed that Sh215 billion of Eurobond moeny was accounted for.

Standard Gauge Tendering Scandal: being Jubilee’s pillar infrastructural project undertaken in their 5 years in power, SGR has been surrounded by controversy since its inception due to single sourcing – tendering process of the Chinese China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) and how the quoted total cost of building the SGR rose mysteriously from 220, 921,502,221.08 Kenya shillings [approx. 220 billion shillings] to staggering 1.3 trillion Kenya shillings.

The National Youth Service Scandal: well, this scandal has been on the airwaves since 2015 after the Opposition came with the claims that over 791 million shillings had been looted at the National Youth Service. The State House came forward quickly and announced that no monies had been lost at NYS, and defended the then devolution Sectary Anne Waiguru (whose NYS department fell under her ministry) as being an industrious civil servant. A report by the Auditor general Edward Ouko in June 2016 put the figure of looted cash at NYS at 1.8 billion shillings.

There have been other mega scandals under the jubilee regime:

475 billion shillings Irregular Lamu Coal Project Award: it is alleged that the said amount was lost after the government awarded the tender to a company that did not even submit a proposal at the request for proposal stage

55.6 billion shillings JKIA New Terminal irregular tendering Scandal: irregular tendering through Kenya Airports Authority during the construction of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport New Terminal saw the loss of 55.6 billion shillings.
15 Billion shillings of the CCTV Single sourced tender to Safaricom.

10 billion Geothermal Development Company (GDC) scandal – during tendering process.

8billion Karen Land Scandal involving 40 Members of Parliament

1.3Billion irregular drug haul ship explosion: reports have emerged that the MV Al Noor ship blowup by President Uhuru Kenyatta in August 2014 didn’t actually contain the alleged 1.3 billion shillings heroin, rather it was mere gypsum used for making fertilizer according to one of the vessel’s crew.

 50 million shillings Chieckegate Scandal: this scandal involved top senior officials at Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Investigation by UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) revealed that British companies dished out bribes to IEBC officials to secure deals. Those involved in the scam in the UK were fined and jailed, but Kenya is still conducting investigation on the Kenyan officials implicated. SHAME!

This list won’t be full without mentioning the 100-million-shilling Hustler’s Jet Scandal. Scam allegations hit Deputy President William Ruto in 2014 after it was reported in the media that the DP had charted a luxury jet at a cost of 100 million shillings to take Ruto on a trip to Algeria, Nigeria, Gabon and Congo. However, the government came forth through the then Information permanent secretary Dr Bitange Ndemo to quash such claims.

Moses Kuria Calls for Assassination of Raila Odinga - VIDEO EVIDENCE

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria

Well, what a day to be alive in Kenya where one Moses Kuria is a Member of Parliament for Gatundu South and a friend of President Uhuru Kenyatta!

Well, we all remember that last year, Kuria called for the slashing of all those were opposing NYS and particularly the Opposition who then were calling for the resignation and prosecution of the then Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru.

The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) summoned him over such hate speech; I guess they are still investigating or something like that.

Now, Kuria seems to be not deterred by such hate speech case because yesterday he took things to whole new level by calling for the assassination of Opposition Leader and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

While addressing a gathering, Kuria announced that Raila was a threat to the national security and therefore should be eliminated.

He is quoted saying: “We won’t be troubled by one person forever. He can as well bite the bullet and we bury him next Monday. His protesters will throw stones for just one week and life continues.”

Below is video of Kuria’s address…



My 2 Cents:
Why do you think Moses kuria makes such tribal utterances? Or he is just a mouth for hire?


And why hasn’t the NCIC recommended for his prosecution over hate speech? Or he is untouchable?

CORD takes Garissa Town by Storm, Raila Welcomed like a KING - See PHOTOS

CORD in Garissa Town [picture taken today]

Well, it has been a gloomy-cold Saturday, but seemingly people in Garissa Town were beaming with joy after Opposition Leader Raila Odinga visited the North Eastern Town in a move seen by critics as a way to appease Somalis to back him up in fight for Electoral reforms.

Garissa town is home to Jubilee’s mouthpiece and Majority Leader Aden Duale. Raila’s move to tour Duale’s region will definitely be a thorny issue to the Jubilee government given that the government had toured the region a fortnight ago and they didn’t receive the warm welcome Baba did.

Anyway, I have managed to get a couple of photos [courtesy of @CODIDA / Twitter] showing Garissa people in attendance during CORD’s Garissa rally.
