Kenya Inc.

Kenya is nothing more than a massive mafia conglomerate. Don't believe me? Read today's Standard. There is a massive expose on how a bunch of Sisyphus morons from The Mt.Kenya region have taken this nations and its citizens for a ride. How corruption pervades this nation, its elected leaders and every sphere of life is breathtaking in its breadth and rot.
What best describes these minions is what Matt Taibbbi of Rolling Stone Magazine wrote about wall street bankers at the height of the global sub-prime mortgage crisis.

     "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into                                 anything that smells like money."

Here are a few of the links that you might consider reading:

Jibril Adan's cover story on the figures behind The Standard media raid .
Police officers colluding with drug trafficking cartels.
The story on how Brigadier Ali and Aaron Ringera, the former resident of Integrity House, aided and abetted drug trafficking
Chase Bank's involvement in drug trafficking, tax evasion among other numerous fraudulent adventures.

Seriously, where are we headed? Are we ever going to see a major political figure head in prison?
Lumumba seems to be making all the right noises but his efforts will surely be impeded by our highly polarized and extremely tribalised politics.
If this country is ever to achieve its vision 2030,  "our tribe, our thief" rational is got to come to an end.

The War on Corruption comes to Garissa

For as long as we can recall Police officers posted in Garissa saw it as an opportunity to enrich themselves and fill up their coffers with illegally earned money. They engaged and enabled human trafficking and weapons smuggling . They detained Kenyans on false premises, extorted money from small businesses and canvassed the town for anyone who might have left their IDs at home. While the rest of our fellow patriots celebrated their days with Busaa and drunk themselves to oblivion, we were busy memorizing the names of all chiefs in Garissa and its environs so as not to fail our upcoming vetting by people who are not natives of this town. Most of us thought help would never arrive and waited for better days with bated breath. Not anymore!


 This week, the spineless KACC nabbed six senior police officers for their alleged corrupt activities. I say alleged because its the correct legal verbiage here but in the court of public opinion they are guilty and condemned already.
The six thugs include, NEP deputy PPO Philip Ndolo, Deputy provincial criminal investigations officer, his deputy and two other senior commanders.


As citizens of Garissa, we are glad that the normally vapid PLO Lumumba is going after this serious cancer. Where our brain addled leaders have failed to deliver, Lumumba is already showing good signs. Many of you remember senior Immigration Officers including the deranged minister's personal assistant and head of refugee affairs at Nyayo were rounded up following  infiltration by Somali KACC officers disguided as aliens seeking documentation.
Rooting this evil out will be quite a reach and is set to take a long long time but the people of Garissa have developed the necessary patience over the years. we hope Mr. I-memorized-the-thesaurus- Lumumba will deliver on his promises.
