SK MACHARIA’s Royal Media Services under THREAT as CCK shuts down 6 transmitters

SK MACHARIA’s Royal Media Services under THREAT as CCK shuts down 6 transmitters


  The Kenyan DAILY TRUTH understands that the usually timid Communication Commission of Kenya (CCK) has started a curious grudge match with one of the country’s biggest media houses, the Royal Media Services by shutting down six of its broadcast transmitters allegedly for operating without valid licenses.

The six transmitters which were shut down are in Nakuru, Narok, Mukuyuni in Makueni and Mambrui, Malindi.

In a statement from CCK Director General Francis Wangusi, the agency said that the six transmitters were part of 17 that had been "put up illegally by Royal Media Services in the recent past without a licence from CCK, and therefore in contravention of the law". 

The letter also alleged that the illegal transmitters had been scrambling the communication signals for the country’s aviation industry;

"Some of the transmitters are located in non-designated broadcasting sites thus causing interferences to other critical services including aviation.”

"The safety of our airspace was under threat as these illegal transmitters had on a number of occasions caused interferences to communication between pilots and the control tower at our main airports."

According to the letter, Royal Media Services could yet still see more of its frequencies shut down;

“A further 22 FM and 2 TV unauthorized frequencies that Royal Media Services acquired in the same manner between 2008 and 2012 are pending adjudication in the courts.”

Some are likely to read politics into the CCK’s latest move since the Royal Media Services juggernaut has recently been accused of pulling for Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s bid for the presidency in the March 4th elections.

BENSOUDA spoils UHURU and RUTO’s Valentine’s DAY by summoning them on FEBRUARY 14


  International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda has summoned Deputy Prime Minister and Eldoret North MP William Ruto for a mention of their cases at The Hague February 14.

Lawyers representing the two will now be travelling to The Hague on February 14 for a Status Conference.

But Uhuru and Ruto, who are Jubilee Presidential candidate and running mate ,may skip the sessions as they are not required to be present when the cases go for the status conference before ICC’s Trial Chamber V.

Status conferences are provided for under Article 64(3) of the Rome Statute  for the court and the parties to set a trial date, confer on the necessary procedure for  fair  and expedious trial, determine the language  to be used in the proceedings  and agree on time table and scope  for disclosure  of documents  and information  for adequate  preparation for the case.

Uhuru and Ruto’s cases are set to start on April 10 and 11, a time when the country could be going for a presidential run-off if there will be any.

  Wiper Party Secretary General Mutula Kilonzo has urged parties in Coalition for Reform and Democracy (CORD) to unite or be defeated by the Jubilee alliance hands down on March 4th poll.

Speaking to journalists after presenting  his senatorial  papers  to Makueni  returning officer, Mutula said infighting  among CORD candidates  will weaken the alliance  and give their rivals in the Jubilee alliance  an advantage  in the March 4th election.

Mutula, who is also the Education Minister, said it is important for all the 14 parties forming CORD to support it to win the elections or be trounced by their Jubilee rivals before noon on March 4th.

“CORD has 14 affiliate parties fielding candidates in various posts in the forthcoming general elections and I call upon all of them to unite and work together to ensure the coalition Presidential candidate Prime Minister Raila Odinga wins the election,”Mutula said.

He said their rivals are well prepared for the battle urging CORD principals to unite their teams before it is too late.

5 Interview Tips For Fresh Graduates

5 Interview Tips For Fresh Graduates

By Angela Wahome,
“I’ve been trying to get a job but i think the people that I have interviewed me have a problem. I am top of my class I have always done well. I feel that they are threatened by me.” These are the strongest words that have challenged me as I began to explain the few factors that a fresh job seeker needs to overcome. In this particular case a college grad, with no prior work experience.
Remember the Golden Rule, “Treat others as you would like to be treated?” It’s a great rule for how to interact with others but when it comes to your job search, you want to follow another rule which is “Treat the employer the way the employer wants to be treated.”
Therefore you must have a good understanding of what the employer wants. Many job seekers assume that they know how to present themselves well. This should not be the case, instead find out what the needs of the employer are.
Here are four ways you can gather about what the employer is searching for:
1. News about the company
Understand the current issues the organization is facing by reading and keeping up on news about the organization and its industry. An easy way to do this is to Google information about the company and industry. Another way is to search related blog sites to see what is being discussed.
2. Company Websites and Social Media Sites
Visit the company website and social media sites affiliated with the organization such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and FaceBook. Develop a clear understanding what the key products and services the company offers along with the key decision makers.
3. Networking
Understanding the needs, goals, and challenges of an organization is very important to your research. One way this may be done is to conduct some discussions with people that are in the same line of work or industry. If you are fortunate enough to know some one well then you may have the added benefit of getting inside tips about the organization. Remember that you goal is to gather informational so that you are able to prepare yourself to make a good presentation.
4. Practice
In addition to carrying out these activities it is important that you prepare for the entire interview process. There are several guidelines that you may follow that can assist you to be ready for the entire process. Remember the purpose of the interview is to help you get ahead. One of the greatest challenges that you will face is that you do not have as much work experience as the people in the job market. This can be over come by presenting yourself with a bit of a twist. Focus on your potential. Show your achievements on your CV and be able to talk about them. Having this mind set can let the employer see that you are able to carry out tasks and are willing to work. Be ready to answer questions so that you can show that you will be willing and able to work hard and learn on the job.
5. After the interview
It is important to treat each interview as a learning experience. When you walk away from an interview think about the things you felt you did not do so well in. See how you may have done things differently so that you do not end up in the same situation over and over. When you call for feed back remember this is still part of the interview process. If you did not get the position, you may ask why. Some employers will be able to share that perhaps the way you handle a question could have been better.
What every the case, think of all the hard work and the time you put into your education. A degree is not the end of all the struggle and hard work but it opens doors that give you a chance to do well what you like to be able to make a living.

14. Pastor Lazarus Muriritirwa

15. Pastor Ng’ang’a (he sacrificed his wife and married her younger sister)

16. Pastor Owour (he used to foretell the pending works of illuminati, disaster)

17. Alikiba - Tanzania (illuminati made him famous and uses him to dwell in Tanzania)

18. Chameleon (he wanted to get out and was thrown from high floor and broke his leg)

18.Octopizzo (realize how he says number nane baby in his songs he is praising the devil)

19.Nonini

21. Avril (illuminati uses her to sell the idea of lesbianism in Kenya remember the song chokoza she say 'hujui kama mtu anapenda machali ama madame' and the nude lesbian photos)
Well be the judge! Is the list anything to go by or is the maker of the list just bluffing?

I love UHURU KENYATTA but here is why I will VOTE for RAILA ODINGA

I love UHURU KENYATTA but here is why I will VOTE for RAILA ODINGA


MY FELLOW KENYANS:


Unlike you who are mostly committed to the choice of your preferred candidates on tribal grounds, I have flirted with each of the three Biggies starting with ODM, then UDF and finally TNA.

I did it to try & identify with each one and the aspirations it stood for. Now I am better informed, than ever before, regarding who of the three leading presidential candidates is best suited to wed Miss Kenya, the bridal daughter of 42 million Kenyans who renews her maidenly status every five years.

There are really only these three Presidential Candidates to choose from: Raila Odinga for Cord, Uhuru Kenyatta for Jubilee and Musalia Mudavadi for Amani. Of these three, we can easily reject the candidacy of Mudavadi for the simple reason he has not done enough to warrant the marital favour of our daughter, Miss Kenya.

We are thus left with the remaining two - Raila & Uhuru. The time to choose between the two is virtually upon us. We are faced with the moment of truth. Forget the verbal ding-dongs we have been having for the last two years over these two leaders.

Who do we vote for? Raila or Uhuru? Let us see the issues surrounding each one's candidacy. In doing so, we must first dismiss outright the claim by Uhuru that he deserves to be elected because of his youth.

If age was the sole criteria for choosing a President, then Uhuru's father Jomo would never have become president. For the same reason, Nelson Mandela would not have made it. 

If youth is such a big deal for leadership claims, then it was manifestly wanting in the recent TNA nominations fiasco when ballot papers could not be moved from Nairobi to Nyeri - a mere 200km away - for one and half days. So much then for youth credentials.

Disposing of this age factor, we are left with two core issues - one each for Raila and Uhuru.
Raila has one issue facing him: credibility issue.

Uhuru has one issue facing him and Ruto: ICC issue.

Raila's issue is a local internal one and it is within our power as Kenyans to decide upon it. We can overlook it and vote for him, hoping for the best. Or we can reject him and decide not to vote for him. It is, as I said, a flexible issue within our power of judgment.

Not so with Uhuru & Ruto issue of ICC. It is an international issue facing them, over which we as Kenyans have no power to decide upon.

Uhuru tells us that he is capable of ruling the country from The Hague, meaning the ICC case is not an impediment. Before we can accept his claim, he has to be very specific about how he plans to rule Kenya from The Hague, because successive presidents of Kenya could not rule Kenya from Nairobi, our national capital.

Can Uhuru come down to specifics of how he plans to rule Kenya from The Hague before we can vote for him ? It is not enough for him to make a rhetorical statement at a public rally.
We want a very comprehensive statement from Uhuru to enable us to consider him vis-a-vis Raila.

Open Letter To Janet Mbugua.. For Dressing Voluptuously On TV

Dear Janet Mbugua….

I have attempted to suppress my feelings since Monday 9PM but that effort has been subjected to futility. Yawaa I comprehend that just like lilian muli, u r also matrimonially abducted & as such, I should mutilate any hopes of pursuing your affection. Nevertheless my corneas still detect and appreciate that both of u oozes aesthetics in gigantic proportions, both of you not only radiate but also advertise beauty via minimal effort. Yawaaa indeed it is correct that birds of the same feather locomate in unison.

On that day, Monday 21st January 2013, 2100Hrs The regalia u embedded on ur body laminated your anatomy in a cohesive and jealous manner. It stalked your physique, tracing every contour that is depicted in your fauna. Manners has barred me from oozing positive appreciation towards ur mammary glands in public domain, but your hips will not be accosted similar amnesty. Woman, yawaa flesh has resided in your pelvic areas in an inciting manner; the bulging of ur hips at the periphery of ur posterior ial mass is unanimously seductive, its mere sight alerts the organs that inhabits my loins. i emit appreciation towards the plateau existing in ur front abdominals as ur stomach does not custod overlapping intestines (tyres). Yawaaa u were chiseled yawaaa!!!

Despite the fact that u are vertically endowed thereby raising ur center of gravity hence making u vulnerable to falling…irony has sided with you by condemning my heart to be the one to succumb to gravitational pull. I have fallen. yawaa Because of you, I just imported a plasma 67” 3D spectrum colour television from Australia that is charged with the onus of airing only news that is being relinquished by the tongue that is tethered in close proximity to ur alluring face.

Yours sincerely
Opiyo.

MOI vows to teach RUTO a lesson he will NEVER FORGET

MOI vows to teach RUTO a lesson he will NEVER FORGET


Ruto loss will deny Uhuru victory

Former President Daniel arap Moi has declared war on The National Alliance (TNA) deputy president aspirant William Ruto and vowed to teach him “a lesson he will never forget” throughout his life. He has also asked Kalenjin elders and professionals to ensure Ruto losses his political grip on the Kelenjin including his grassroots tentacles in Eldoret North.

During a top secret meeting with some Kalenjin elders (Kateb kokweet) that included his old friend Ezekiel Barngetuny, last Friday at his Kabarak home, Moi made it clear that he would reduce Rutoto the “hustler” he was before he transformed him into a multi-millionaire. “This ungrateful fellow must sleep on the bed he has been making over the years. He should not be allowed to destroy the Kalenjin community order and social fabric by disparaging elders and tarnishing their respect,” the former president literally declared.

More specifically, he declared he was prepared to ensure that Ruto does not get votes, “other than his own and his immediate family” within Eldoret North itself and will use every means available to him to achieve his goal. He directed his son Gideon, who was present, to unleash a powerful Kanu campaign to endear the former ruling party to all communities in the Rift Valley and mobilize them to vote for Kanu and the Musalia Mudavadi led United Democratic Forum (UDF) Amani alliance candidates.

Apparently Moi has never forgiven Ruto for the erosion of political clout he has suffered in the Rift Valley and Kenya as a whole. He must be particularly bitter about the burning of his farms and carnage on his cattle during the 2008 post election violence directed against him by hired Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Kelenjin vandals for supporting Kibaki re-election.

It is for the same reason that he finds it difficult to support ODM presidential aspirant and Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Moi also has an active grudge against Raila for deserting him in 2003 along with key Kanu ministers to join President Mwai Kibaki and subsequently defeat Kanu after lavishing him with money-making energy and roads ministries and a bonus of the Kisumu Molasses plant.

Moi’s onslaught on Ruto will undermine and deny TNA presidential aspirant Uhuru Kenyattasupport in the vote rich Rift Valley without which he cannot win the State House tenancy. The threat is real because money will not stand in the way of the multi-billionaires family and money will be a major determinant in the General Election. Moi met Mudavadi last Saturday but the UDF aspirant seems to have resigned himself to fate and wants to craw back to parliament through nomination along with his running mate.

Moi unknowingly betrayed himself when revealed his dirty election tricks that kept him in power for 24 years, when the told the elders that he was ready to buy out the estimated 110,000 Eldoret North constituency voters for Ksh 1,000 each. That would be a cool Ksh 110 million. That may be a clear message that there will be vote buying in the Rift Valley.
Uhuru’s family has also opened its purse wide in a bid to reclaim State House vacated by the late President Jomo Kenyatta in 1978 bequeathing the family with billions of shillings in cash and other assets – among them the now controversial tracts of land in Central, Coast, Eastern and Rift Valley provinces. There have been claims that the family is disposing some of the land in the Rift Valley for billions of shillings ahead of the next government and to fund Uhuru’s campaign. Official records held by the lands ministry can confirm that.

Some of the land was sold to the government to resettle the internally displaced persons (IDPs) generated by the 2007-2008 post election violence. Both Uhuru and Ruto are facing crimes against humanity charges at the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC). Uhuru has in recent weeks imprudently claimed that President Kibaki and Raila should also be charged over the violence because they were the 2007 presidential contestants.

Neither Kibaki nor Raila can be expected to take kindly of Uhuru’s public statements, which appear like the kicks of a dying horse. Uhuru has successfully applied to enjoin outlawed criminal gang former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga in the ICC case with the likely possibility of Njenga confirming Mungiki were recruited and paid by Uhuru and State House thereby confirming the TNA boss complicity - that could earn Uhuru 30 years jail if not more.

It is becoming increasingly clear to all that both Uhuru and Ruto are in the State House race to evade trial and long jail terms at The Hague. That is the main reason they removed Mudavadi as their presidential flag bearer for Jubilee even after it had been made amply clear to Uhuru that his presidency would complicate Kenya’s international relations with the dominant development partners from the West. Both the British and United States governments have said they would have nothing to do with Kenya with Uhuru as president.

The dangers of Uhuru-Ruto presidency would mean:

· International sanctions on Kenya’s coffee, tea and horticultural produce whose volumes are bought mainly by western countries – shutting off the country’s main foreign exchange earnings. Result - thousands of jobs would be lost.
· International freeze and suspension of financial support, including loans for vital projects by western countries and their institution like the World Bank. Result - this would stall several energy projects including exploitation of recently discovered oil, coal and gold deposits.
· Western governments freeze of political leaders’ off-shore accounts. Result; even Uhuruwould not access millions of dollars in foreign accounts – personal or business.
· Closure of the inflow of western tourists the bulk of who sustain the country’s tourism industry – including Uhuru’s own hotels. Result - thousands of jobs would be lost.
· Boycott of Kenya’s mineral exports. Result even Kenyatta family’s Taita-Taveta gemstones exploits would be affected.
· Boycott of many other Kenyan agricultural products. Result – millions of Kenyan farmers would be impoverished.
· Suspension of military equipment, training and defense co-operation – when Al Shabaab is wreaking havoc and internal security is in shambles. Result – creating greater insecurity.
· Suspension of western collaboration in social-cultural exchanges. Result – miss out on research, educational, medical, technical and professional.
· Transfer of the international gem of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Habitat headquarters elsewhere, most likely a European capital. Result loss of millions of dollars UNEP earns Kenya in foreign revenue in staff endowments and conferences.
· Migration and relocation of European firms to other African countries like Rwanda, Tanzania or Uganda. Result – more thousands of job losses.

Without a market for its agricultural exports and a shut down on Western tourists, Kenya would have no money to pay for her imports, including food and petroleum products. The cost of living in Kenya would soon be extremely difficult for ordinary citizens except the rich ruling elite in Uhuru and Rutopolitical club plus their loyalists. Joblessness would escalate, tax collection would dwindle and inflation, crime and insecurity would rise dramatically.

Moi’s tenure saw the dollar exchange escalate from a mere Ksh 7 when he took over in 1978 to over Ksh 70 when he went home to look after goats and cows in Kabarak. Going by Zimbabwe example where Mugabe has survived against all odds, the Central Bank of Kenya would in no time issue 10,000, 100,000 and million shilling denomination notes. Kenyans would be going to their neighbourhood kiosks with a basketful of notes to buy a loaf of bread.

This is not empty speculation, under the superintendence of Uhuru as finance minister, Kenyans in 2011 saw the shilling exchange at a record Ksh 130 against the US dollar. Simple arithmetic means over a span of one week, some people and banks made millions by simply buying and selling dollars repeatedly. Some banks are reported to have made as much as Ksh 50 billions as the shilling freely plummeted downwards.

Kenyans must decide if they want to put their country on a reverse gear back to the dark years of the Moi regime when industries closed down in Nairobi, Thika and other towns for lack of foreign exchange. Millions of Kenyans lost jobs and employment opportunities disappeared into thin air. Transport companies like Stage Coach migrated to create jobs in Malawi owing to Kenya’s dilapidated infrastructure. Heaps of garbage dominated the capital city of Nairobi and other urban centres and farming made no business sense.

Such situations have led to internal civil wars and military coups in many countries – including Kenya’s naighbouring Uganda, Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia. The internal strife and military coups have had devastatingly deep economic wounds on many countries. Africa’s mineral rich Democratic Republic of Congo, among others, still grapples with acute poverty many years after the military deposed civilian government.

It is nonsensical for the Jubilee alliance duo to tell Kenyan voters that they will be able to run the country and attend The Hague trials at the same time. Running a country is a full time job as are The Hague cases. It is not clear how Uhuru and Ruto plan to be at two places at the same time - regardless of whatever they preach about the digital generation and all Apple’s Steve Jobs inventions – iPads, iPhones, iPods etc. That is shear public deceit. Uhuru wants to nominate his niece Beth back to parliament against her wish hoping she can hold the fort.

Should Uhuru and Ruto attend their cases mid April when they start, there is no way they will be allowed to fly back to campaign for their run-up elections in the middle of the trial. The most likely scenario will be for them to refuse to go to The Hague and wait for consequences. Alternatively they may request for an adjournment to allow them campaign but whichever way, there is every possibility that they are in for a major pounding by the CORD Alliance. Raila will happily hand them over to The Hague as good riddance.

Neither Kibaki nor Raila can be expected to take kindly of Uhuru’s public statements, which appear like the kicks of a dying horse. Uhuru has successfully applied to enjoin outlawed criminal gang former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga in the ICC case with the likely possibility of Njenga confirming Mungiki were recruited and paid by Uhuru and State House thereby confirming the TNA boss complicity - that could earn Uhuru 30 years jail if not more.

It is becoming increasingly clear to all that both Uhuru and Ruto are in the State House race to evade trial and long jail terms at The Hague. That is the main reason they removed Mudavadi as their presidential flag bearer for Jubilee even after it had been made amply clear to Uhuru that his presidency would complicate Kenya’s international relations with the dominant development partners from the West. Both the British and United States governments have said they would have nothing to do with Kenya with Uhuru as president.

The dangers of Uhuru-Ruto presidency would mean:

· International sanctions on Kenya’s coffee, tea and horticultural produce whose volumes are bought mainly by western countries – shutting off the country’s main foreign exchange earnings. Result - thousands of jobs would be lost.
· International freeze and suspension of financial support, including loans for vital projects by western countries and their institution like the World Bank. Result - this would stall several energy projects including exploitation of recently discovered oil, coal and gold deposits.
· Western governments freeze of political leaders’ off-shore accounts. Result; even Uhuruwould not access millions of dollars in foreign accounts – personal or business.
· Closure of the inflow of western tourists the bulk of who sustain the country’s tourism industry – including Uhuru’s own hotels. Result - thousands of jobs would be lost.
· Boycott of Kenya’s mineral exports. Result even Kenyatta family’s Taita-Taveta gemstones exploits would be affected.
· Boycott of many other Kenyan agricultural products. Result – millions of Kenyan farmers would be impoverished.
· Suspension of military equipment, training and defense co-operation – when Al Shabaab is wreaking havoc and internal security is in shambles. Result – creating greater insecurity.
· Suspension of western collaboration in social-cultural exchanges. Result – miss out on research, educational, medical, technical and professional.
· Transfer of the international gem of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Habitat headquarters elsewhere, most likely a European capital. Result loss of millions of dollars UNEP earns Kenya in foreign revenue in staff endowments and conferences.
· Migration and relocation of European firms to other African countries like Rwanda, Tanzania or Uganda. Result – more thousands of job losses.

Without a market for its agricultural exports and a shut down on Western tourists, Kenya would have no money to pay for her imports, including food and petroleum products. The cost of living in Kenya would soon be extremely difficult for ordinary citizens except the rich ruling elite in Uhuru and Rutopolitical club plus their loyalists. Joblessness would escalate, tax collection would dwindle and inflation, crime and insecurity would rise dramatically.

Moi’s tenure saw the dollar exchange escalate from a mere Ksh 7 when he took over in 1978 to over Ksh 70 when he went home to look after goats and cows in Kabarak. Going by Zimbabwe example where Mugabe has survived against all odds, the Central Bank of Kenya would in no time issue 10,000, 100,000 and million shilling denomination notes. Kenyans would be going to their neighbourhood kiosks with a basketful of notes to buy a loaf of bread.

This is not empty speculation, under the superintendence of Uhuru as finance minister, Kenyans in 2011 saw the shilling exchange at a record Ksh 130 against the US dollar. Simple arithmetic means over a span of one week, some people and banks made millions by simply buying and selling dollars repeatedly. Some banks are reported to have made as much as Ksh 50 billions as the shilling freely plummeted downwards.

Kenyans must decide if they want to put their country on a reverse gear back to the dark years of the Moi regime when industries closed down in Nairobi, Thika and other towns for lack of foreign exchange. Millions of Kenyans lost jobs and employment opportunities disappeared into thin air. Transport companies like Stage Coach migrated to create jobs in Malawi owing to Kenya’s dilapidated infrastructure. Heaps of garbage dominated the capital city of Nairobi and other urban centres and farming made no business sense.

Such situations have led to internal civil wars and military coups in many countries – including Kenya’s naighbouring Uganda, Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia. The internal strife and military coups have had devastatingly deep economic wounds on many countries. Africa’s mineral rich Democratic Republic of Congo, among others, still grapples with acute poverty many years after the military deposed civilian government.

It is nonsensical for the Jubilee alliance duo to tell Kenyan voters that they will be able to run the country and attend The Hague trials at the same time. Running a country is a full time job as are The Hague cases. It is not clear how Uhuru and Ruto plan to be at two places at the same time - regardless of whatever they preach about the digital generation and all Apple’s Steve Jobs inventions – iPads, iPhones, iPods etc. That is shear public deceit. Uhuru wants to nominate his niece Beth back to parliament against her wish hoping she can hold the fort.

Should Uhuru and Ruto attend their cases mid April when they start, there is no way they will be allowed to fly back to campaign for their run-up elections in the middle of the trial. The most likely scenario will be for them to refuse to go to The Hague and wait for consequences. Alternatively they may request for an adjournment to allow them campaign but whichever way, there is every possibility that they are in for a major pounding by the CORD Alliance. Raila will happily hand them over to The Hague as good riddance.
