Meet Nakuru MCA Giving Bungoma Politicians a Run For Their Money

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

A Nakuru County Assembly Member’s move to empower youths in Wycliffe Wangamati-led Bungoma County is giving a section of politicians from the region a run for their money.

Mr.Peter Palang’a , the Olkaria ward MCA has put his focus on Bokoli ward and the entire Webuye West constituency, a move that has started worrying some politicians interested in the regions ahead of 2022 general polls.

Pundits have it that Palang’a, the current Nakuru county assembly minority Leader is likely to face Mr.Dan Wanyama, the current Webuye West MP in 2022 but if the worst comes at the nomination stage, he is strategizing to unseat Bokoli ward MCA Jack Kawa.

An insight report by a local publisher, newsflash.co.ke has dug deep into Mr Panga’s development record, among it being his love for sports, thus organizing youth football tournaments.

“Mine is to give back to the society, despite being an MCA in Nakuru, I believe that as I age, I need to help my people, am not interested in local politics because am still the servant of Olkaria voters who trusted me with their votes, I will still serve them given another chance,” he was quoted by the local publisher.

Palang’a has organized three successful tournaments in Bokoli Ward involving almost all disciplines.

Political pundits hover that both Wanyama and Kawa who are renowned sport men’s have failed to organize such events which are youth friendly since they were voted for the first time in 2013.

The pundits suggest that the two are worried because if Palang’a contests for either of the seats it will be an up hill task for them.

He was born and raised in Sasa village, Bokoli Ward before moving to Naivasha where he played for the now defunct  Oserian Fastac.He later joined politics in 2007 on an ODM party where he has won thrice in a row.

But the Webuye West MP has dismissed Palang’a as an outsider who cannot mount a serious campaign in Webuye West.

“Palang’a is an elected leader in Nakuru, let him concentrate his politics there, if it is about the issue of empowering my people in his small way, he is welcome, I was reelected based on my development record,” he was quoted.

Bokoli MCA Jack Kawa in his comments stated he is ready for a fruitful competition but asked Palang’a to go slow on Bungoma politics because he will end up a disappointed man.

How Ruto Misled Uhuru to Give up His Presidential Candidacy in 2013

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Details of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy Dr William Ruto’s marriage back in 2013 have emerged amid president Kenyatta’s 2022 succession debate.

Former Kiambu County governor William Kabogo has opened up on what brought about the marriage, and the secrets that downplayed the 2013 deal between the President Kenyatta and his deputy.

Speaking during KTN’s PointBlank show on Wednesday night, Kabogo claimed that Ruto misled Uhuru to give up the 2013 presidency.

Kabogo claimed he confronted Ruto for misleading Uhuru to give up his presidential candidacy when he maintained his running-mate slot.

He further said the pressure to have Uhuru out of the race was mainly because of the cases against them at the International Criminal Court, which was touching the two.

He wondered why Ruto was not ready to opt out of the race but backed Uhuru’s decision to back Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi instead in a deal that was later divorced.

“I believe Kenyatta was put under immense pressure by interested parties. We went to his place and spent 10 to 15 hours talking with him,” he said.

“Ruto came and I was offended with him because he had agreed to give out Uhuru’s candidacy but maintained his.”

written by Mustafa Juma

Do you remember the short-lived deal between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi back in 2013?

Well, former Kiambu governor William Kabogo has revealed the secret between Uhuru-Mudavadi deal that was withdrawn a few moments to 2013 general elections.

Speaking during KTN News’ point blank show on Wednesday night, Kabogo recounted the dramatic U-turn by Uhuru to run for president in 2013 after he had decided to back Mudavadi for the top seat.

He claimed he confronted Deputy President Dr Wiliam Ruto for misleading Uhuru to give up his presidential candidacy when he maintained his running-mate slot.

Kabogo said the pressure to have Uhuru out of the race was mainly because of the cases against them at the International Criminal Court, which was touching the two.

He wondered why Ruto was not ready to opt out of the race but backed Uhuru’s decision to back Mudavadi instead.

“I believe Kenyatta was put under immense pressure by interested parties. We went to his place and spent 10 to 15 hours talking with him,” he said.

“Ruto came and I was offended with him because he had agreed to give out Uhuru’s candidacy but maintained his.”

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Betting firms have been on the spot in the recent months after Government crackdown led by Interior CS Fred Matiang’i over tax compliance.

Matiang’i had announced that they would do security vetting on their operations and directors in Kenya before renewing the licenses of the betting firms.

On April, Matiang’I vowed to introduce tough measures to regulate betting sector, which he accused of leading youth astray.

The CS gave all firms three months up to July 1 to seek fresh renewal of licenses upon proving tax compliance.

Following the deadline, the State shutdown the paybills of the betting firms in radical measures to ensure toe the line to the new regulations.

Despite the companies moving to court and public outry even including some leaders, only licenses of about 10 companies were renewed which were deemed to be tax compliant by Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

  1. Odibets – The betting firm, deemed as one of the fastest growing in the country, was among the first one to be cleared by the Government for operations. It even went ahead to implenet the 20% withholding tax on their winnings
  2. Eazi Bet
  3. Ken Bookmakers
  4. Eastleighbet
  5. Mozzartbet
  6. Lucky 2u
  7. Palms Bet
  8. Bet boss
  9. Kick off
  10. Easi bet 

However, the State has declined to renew the licenses of betting giants Sportpesa and Betin, whose fate still remains unknown.

Uproar as Fire Guts Down Busia County Finance Offices in The Vicinity of a Fire Engine

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Kenyans have raised questions after a fire incident at Busia County finance offices destroyed crucial files on Wednesday morning.

Reports indicate that the incident happened in the vicinity of a multimillion shillings fire engine that is usually parked at the county headquarters.

The 2am inferno was confirmed by Busia County Communications Director Winnstone Mbada.

This comes two months after another inferno razed Kitui County County’s Finance Economic and Planning offices.

This has made Kenyans to question these incidents, with some arguing that the Busia county finance officers must have colluded to burn down the offices to avoid being audited.

Some have went on to sarcastically praise governor Sospeter Ojamong for allegedly playing out the game to avoid being audited.

Some are questioning why fire only burns finance offices and not any other offices at the counties. Migori County has also experienced the same.

Governor Ojamong has a pending graft case in court.

On November 12, 2018, EACC embarked into fresh investigation into alleged acts of corruption in the acquisition of solid waste management services from Madam R Enterprises Ltd in the 2013/14 financial year by Ojamong-led government.

Ojaamong and five others members of the County Executive have hence been charged with conspiracy to defraud the county by engaging in projects without proper procurement process.

The embattled governor has been indicted alongside Finance Executive Bernard Yaite, Chief Finance Officer Leonard Obimbira, Head of Treasury Accounting Samuel Ombui, Allan Omachari and Edna Odhiambo.

The charges against them state that on diverse dates between March 15 and September 25, 2014 all the accused persons conspired to defraud the Busia county government of Sh8 million by entering into an agreement for a feasibility study on solid waste management.

written by Mustafa Juma

The case involving Meru senator Mithika Linturi and his estranged wife Merriane Kitany has taken a new twist after Kitany’s mother’s latest confession.

In her confession, Kitany’s mother has dragged in Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi whom she alleges knelt down before her daughter to propose on behalf of Linturi.

She says Sudi got down on one knee and asked for her daughter’s hand in marriage on behalf of Linturi during a church fundraiser.

“Oscar Sudi even knelt down at the same function and asked for Kitany’s hand in marriage on behalf of Linturi. It was the biggest function. Almost six choppers came for the fundraiser,” she was quoted by a local daily.

on Tuesday narrated how she invited Linturi for a church fundraiser in which he contributed Sh1 million out of the Sh4.2 million raised.

“I thank my son-in-law for coming for a fundraiser before the ceremony in my church,” she said.

Among those present at the fundraiser were Sudi, Elgeyo Marakwet Senaotr Kipchumba Murkomen, Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, Deputy Preident William Ruto’s aide, Farouk Kibet, Energy CS Charles Keter and Nandi Governor Stephen Sang.

Rhoda said Kitany informed her in 2014 that she, Linturi and their children were going to Australia to get to know each other.

In 2016, Kitany told her mother that she and Linturi wanted to visit her home for an introduction and she prepared for the function.

Rhoda said she invited all her friends and family for the occasion.

She said before the wedding, the fundraiser was the first time Linturi went to visit.

During the introduction, Rhoda said Linturi visited accompanied by 19 people and had a pick-up full of food.

Throughout the cross-examination, Rhoda referred to Linturi as ‘mheshimiwa’, saying her culture does not allow her to say the name of her son-in-law.

She said at the traditional wedding, Linturi was asked if he loved her daughter and he told them he did.

Rhoda said Linturi was asked if he was married and he said he was divorced.

Imran’s Opponents Are Scared Of His Good Record-ODM Boss

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Raila Odinga-led Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has defended the late Ken Okoth’s move to appoint his brother Bernard Imran Okoth to be in charge of National Government Constituency Development Fund ( NG-CDF).

The party’s communication director Philip Etale says those decampaigning against Imran using his appointment to head NG-CDF are doing so because they are scared of Imran’s record.

He says the success of the late Ken in Kibra was as a result of Imran’s determination to have his brother achieve his election pledges to the people of Kibra.

Etale further urges those campaigning on the basis of that account to quote any report by the Auditor General that states financial misappropriation by the Kibra NG-CDF.

He notes that the late MP’s projects did not stall when he was incapacitated because of his ailment and had to seek treatment abroad.

Through a long social media post, Etale notes that Imran is the leader Kibra people deserve.

“I have seen some people posting on social media that the late Hon. Ken Okoth appointed his relative (Imran) to be in-charge of NG-CDF. Yes, it is a fact. No one is denying this.When Ken was incapacitated because of his ailment and had to seek treatment abroad, did his projects stall? No.Again, I want to ask those campaigning on the basis of that account to quote any report by the Auditor General that states financial misappropriation by the Kibra NG-CDF. Post it here.Imran’s opponents are just scared because of his good record.The success of Ken’s projects was as a result of Imran’s determination to have his brother achieve his election pledges to the people of Kibra.He is definitely the leader Kibra people deserve,” reads the post.

Another Jubilee Politician Dismisses Mariga’s Kibra Candidature

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Just a few days ago, Jubilee party nominated MP Maina Kamanda threw his weight behind ODM candidate Bernard Imran Okoth in the forthcoming Kibra mini polls, hinting that more other Jubilee MPs were silently supporting ODM.

Well, they are now seemingly coming out to publicly dismiss Jubilee’s candidate McDonald Mariga.

Nairobi County Speaker Beatrice Elachi who is also a member of the ruling party has opposed Mariga’s candidature in the November 7 Kibra by-election.

According to Elachi, Mariga cannot fit into the shoes of the late MP Ken Okoth.

“For anyone going to Kibra, they must set the bar high just like Ken Okoth…Mariga cannot continue Okoth’s legacy,” Elachi told Citizen TV on Tuesday morning.

She said Mariga just woke up one morning to claim that he can govern the people of Kibra.

“I am sorry to say that..this is why I feel sad. When I wanted to vie in Dagoretti North, I did not just wake up and go there to vie,” Elachi retorted.

“I went there two years before the election and that is what leaders must do.. Understand the magnitude of what you are going into and how the people of Nairobi live.”

Elachi claimed that Mariga cannot just go to Kibra and yet he has never voted anyone in that area.

“You want to go to Kibra for its people to vote for you and yet you have never voted anyone?” she posed.

“Okoth has been sick for two years you should have gone and said you are a part of Kibra.. and say you have projects..”

Elachi said Mariga should have built a football academy in Kibra before claiming to want to govern its people.

“You are not campaigning..I can go to any county and you start a project. You are not de-campaigning the leader .. he is a good footballer. I would want to know how many academies are there,” she said.

Aspirants in the forthcoming November 7 mini polls have been moving around the constituency trying to woo supporters.

Reports have it that a front runner in the by-election has been dishing out bundles of old Sh1,000 notes to churches, youth and women since his campaign to succeed MP Ken Okoth began.

The politician has visited churches and held meetings, dishing out bundles of the old notes at each event.

Some Kenyans have already raised this issue through social media.

“Someone is releasing oldnotes to Kibra residents inform of campaigning for a certain candidate, Kimwarer money is in circulation! ” tweeted Frank Mtetezi, a twitter user.

Central Bank of Kenya Governor Patrick Njoroge  has maintained that the old notes will cease being legal tender on Monday, September 30.

Jubilee Killed Mombasa Because They Hated Joho- Lawyer Ahmednasir

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Senior Counsel Ahmednsir Abdullahi has said that the ruling Jubilee party killed Mombasa’s economy because they hated governor Hassan Ali Joho.

His statement follows the demonstrations that were staged in Mombasa on Monday following what the residents argued that Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) has spelled doom on the region’s economy.

With the coming of SGR, all cargo is supposed to be transported by the railway line, denying job opportunities to road transporters.

Ahmednasir now claims that since Jubilee is now in love with governor Joho due to the handshake between Prrsident Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition chief Raila Odinga, a marshal plan should be done to revive Mombasa’s economy.

The senior counsel further says that the plan should be named Sultan Joho plan.

“JUBILEE KILLED Mombasa because once upon a time they hated/didn’t like Sultan @HassanAliJoho. Now that JUBILEE is MADLY in LOVE with Sultan Joho, please do a Marshall plan to revive Mombasa….call it SULTAN JOHO Plan,” he posted.

The demonstration, which started at Makupa round about to Changamwe round about in Mombasa west, caused a jam between the Island and Mombasa mainland.

The demonstrators carrying placards castigating Kenya Ports Authority, Kenya Revenue Authority officials and a minister walked over 10 kilometres as they sang songs against the government.

As the demonstration continued, the truck drivers hooted as a sign of solidarity while road construction workers also abandoned their works to cheer demonstrators.

Beware of Fake Notes as CBK Rolls Out New Currency

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

The old Ksh 1000 notes are becoming obsolete at the end of this month, but do you still remember the features of the new currency?

Well, the Central Bank of Kenya has maintained the scheduled deadline and has warned the public of fake currency circulation ahead of the September 30 deadline it set earlier.

The public should remind themselves of the features of the new generation banknotes; their feel, look and tilt.

Let’s run our fingers over the note and feel the text ‘Kenya’, value and the edge where Sh50 notes have one bar, Sh100 (two), Sh200(three), Sh500 (four)and Sh1,000 have five bars.

Tilting the new banknote at an angle thus the security thread changes colour from red to green on all the banknotes.

The new currency however faces some hurdles after activist Okiya Omtatah filed a a petition to bar the roll out.

His verdict is expected from the High Court on September 27.

Chief Justice David Maraga appointed judges George Kanyi Kimondo, Anthony Charo Murima and Lady Justice Asenath Nyaboke Ongeri to handle the case.

Mr Omtatah accused the Central Bank of Kenya and its governor Patrick Njoroge of violating Article 231 (4) of the Constitution that prohibits the use of individual portraits in currency notes and coins.

Huduma Namba System Outdated, Bound to Fail – IT Expert

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

A cybersecurity specialist from India has claimed that the Sh6 billion Huduma Namba system acquired by Kenya is archaic and will fail.

Anand Venkatanarayanan who has 21 years’ experience in the field was testifying in the case where Nubians have challenged the implementation of NIIMS.

Anand told a three-judge bench that the system has so many loopholes that can facilitate duplication, hence, the data is not secure.

“NIIMS thus is an archaic design compared to modern-day systems architecture and can be rightly thought of as a horse-bungee drawn by a lame horse on a digital highway. That it would fail and fall behind is a foregone conclusion,” he said.

He further argued that data leaks by centralisation and that this is not a perception but an outcome that can neither be avoided nor mitigated.

He said that in computer security, nothing is truly secure and there are only costs of benefits of hoarding data.

“Centralised databases such as Aadhaar and NIIMs, however, hoard so much data that the cost of benefit ration tilts definitely in favour of the attackers,” he added.

Anand claims that every study done in India of the Aadhaar Project which is very similar to NIIMS indicated that the costs are too high compared to the benefits it offered.

He claimed that the NIIMS project is functionally, architecturally and technologically very similar to Aadhaar project and suffers from the same flaws.

“While the Kenyan government may promise that it will not repeat the same mistakes as Aadhaar project, it has not provided evidence of technological capabilities to honour the promise,” Anand said.

He said his assessment was based on the government’s gross misreading of how NIIMS is not very different from Aadhaar

Justices Pauline Nyamweya, Mumbi Ngugi and Weldon Korir also heard that the Biometrics authentication is defined as a comparison between the biometric parameters IRIS or fingerprint versus what was stored during enrollment, it would be hence right to call is as a biometric comparison across time.

According to Anand, a central database will inevitably leak and compromise the personal data of the residents. 

“For instance, the number of times the Aadhaar database has leaked is beyond counting as even simple google searches reveal,” the court heard.

While harmonising the various databases that contain resident’s data is a laudable goal, the Kenyan government has not done a detailed cost-benefit analysis of such an approach and other alternatives.

Earlier in the day another witness Grace Bomu an expert in Digital data said there was no law to protect children’s digital data rights.

Bomu said that the way NIIMS is currently designed will not protect the information of the children. 

Anand who was stood down yesterday will take the stand again this morning to continue with his testimony.

In the case, the three-judge bench had ruled that Kenyans should not be compelled or threatened to give their personal information to the state.

The court also barred the state from sharing or disseminating the information collected with any organisations whether international or otherwise.

The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, Kenya Human Rights Commission and Nubian Rights Forum had moved to court seeking the suspension of the collection of data from Kenyans under NIIMS.

The lobby groups argued the process interfered with an individual’s right to privacy.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has issued an advice on how bribes should be taken as the use of old Ksh 1000 notes come to an end after September 30.

The lawyer took to his official twitter account saying that the demonetisation of the old Ksh 1000 notes has taught the ruling elites an important lesson.
