BURSTED!!!! ASIAN TYCOON IN KISUMU BEATEN LIKE STUPID AFTER BEING CAUGHT RED HANDED SAMPLING ONE'S WIFE COOKIE JAR
BURSTED!!!(PHOTO)ASIAN TYCOON IN KISUMU SERIOUSLY BEATEN AFTER BEING CAUGHT RED HANDED SAMPLING ONE'S WIFE COOKIE JAR
It all started when the youthful husband, who too, is of an African descent and a renowned businessman in the lakeside city, started receiving scanty information late last year over the illicit affair and consequently mounted a well oiled intelligence network, to bust and nab the newfound lovebirds.
And acting on a tip off from a reliable hawk eyed informant, the disgruntled husband was phoned that the libidinous Asian tycoon a Mr Bachulal has closed his shop for lunch break and that he is driving, with the first sojourn being the residence of his new catch, en-route to his house at the posh estate of millimani.
With his car-a fuel guzzler light blue pajero of KAH series- improperly packed outside the gate and unaware that the aggrieved husband to the immoral woman was privy to the offing marathon love making, the bespectacled Bachulal disembarked from the vehicle, adjusted his spectacle, bravely opened the gate and confidently proceeded to the house where he was whisked directly to the bedroom by the lady, who is a mother of three.
No sooner had he reached the midstream of the sweet natural game, than the husband who was breathing and spitting fire, flanked with the battery of journalists that he had alerted earlier over the shameful matter: Struck.
By-heart kicks, blows and other assorted weapons was rained on the besieged randy Asian from all angles by the jilted husband, that saw him screaming through-out like a fateful goat that has sensed its destined to abattoir and that its earthly days is numbered since its going to be slaughtered. Thanks to the promiscuous woman‘ athletic prowess, for she managed to slip and escaped the husband’s physical wrath, by a whisker.
And on a brief interview conducted by the scribes at the sour-love- scene as to why he is doing that : “I came here to sell my vehicle, she told me to come” he claimed while stammering and shaking visibly.
And pressed further, why the sale transaction had to take place in the bedroom with both the seller and would be buyer all in their birth suits(read naked): ”Tafadhali ambia bwana ya mama samea mimi! pana rudia tena! sisi yote wanaume! Please tell the husband to forgive me…i’ll never do it again….we are all men” Pleaded fruitlessly, the bulky Asian, who was a victim of a crime of passion, as tears roll down his chicks uncontrollably.
The ugly though consensual incident, left in its wake, a trail of broken household equipments and sexual paraphernalia (libido enhancers, condoms among others) spewed all over the house.
To non-starters, the amorous Asian whose sexual escapades has allegedly taken Kisumu city and its environ for decades by storm, is a man of repute and talent in a rare, though much loathed field. He has Single-handedly and successfully broken many marriages courtesy of his unrelenting extension of sexual overtures to married women, claimed further by those who are abreast to his immorality world.
Not left out in his alleged dragnet of unquenched thirst for pedophile operations, are the downtrodden minor female lot who are lusting for materialistic and luxurious lifestyle, but they are monetarily unsound. He showers them with niceties to the chagrin of the society.

ESTER PASSARIS REVEALS some SHOCKING RIGGING...Condemns Uhuru Kenyatta for rigging the election...

My fellow Kenyans I extracted what was signed off as the summary of the 2013 Presidential results by the chair and availed through the print media. If you think 6 out of 8 Presidential candidates can score exactly the same number of votes in two constituencies including the same number of reject votes.
I rest my case, and trust that one day Iebc results will be televised as a bizarre case on Beyond Belief or X files for our deeper understanding. Here are the Iebc results for your own comprehension before you insult me for stating what is obviously bizarre:-
Code 68 70
Name Mwingi W Kitui W
Dida 80 80
Karua 228 228
Kenneth 229 229
Uhuru 2671 2332
Kiyapi 198 198
Mudavadi 569 569
Odinga 27,716 27,716
Muite 187 87
Rejected 388 388
On another note these two constituencies could be siamese twins with 80% identical traits??
Give me a break for questioning the authenticity of the results. If I know Uhuru Kenyatta He would want to know if his win was above board; free and fair. He would want answers to all these abnormalities. He would want to know he has a clear mandate. Any future President would want for Kenya strong independent institutions.
Nothing less. Iebc has many questions that beg for answers. This is not about me, its about what is right or wrong. True or false. Its about whether our democracy is being compromised in broad daylight.
Somethings are so clear no matter whether you are educated or not. Long sighted or short sighted. You do not need a pair of glasses to see it for what it is. Lets call a spade a spade. United we Stand..
she went on and further condemn IEBC for losing its credibility by posting:
Iebc. Iebc. Iebc. Constituency code 68 Mwingi West and 70 Kitui West in todays print media is so obviously cooked for convenience or jinxed by forces untold.....All Presidential candidates garnered the same result including rejected votes in both constituencies save for Uhuru Kenyatta and Muite. Is this really possible? Something is amiss. Surely are we so gullible? I await the results for all other 5 posts including County Women Rep. Sooner or later it will all be in the public domain, I wish for those who voted to have a clear understanding of the results..

PHOTO: MAN (25) scares 45-year-old woman with his PENIS...
A 25-year-old man has been arrested after he stood in the middle of the road waving his manhood, giving a female passerby quite a scare.
Shingirai Mapuranga, who resides at House No. 821-A, Dzivarasekwa 3, has since appeared before Mbare magistrate Rueben Mukavhi facing a charge of public indecency. He was not asked to plead to the charge and was remanded out of custody on free bail to 4 April for his trial.
In his defence, Shingirai said he was urinating by the roadside on the day in question.
Prosecutor Revai Mudozori alleges that on 9 March at around 2pm, Tsitsi Gatsi (45), was walking along Lonchinvar Road heading home when she met Shingirai exposing his 'joystick'. Shingirai is said to have approached the woman who is almost twice his age and allegedly pointed his 'sperm gun' at her.
Initially, Tsitsi thought Shingirai was urinating but she was surprised when she got closer to him when he suddenly turned against her and exposed his 'black mamba' at her.
In fear of supposedly a 'penis bite', Tsitsi screamed for help and was assisted by vendors who were close to the scene. After realising that the public was after him, Shingirai disappeared from the scene and was later arrested after Tsisti identified him.

A Dictator’s Last Laugh... Ngugi wa Thiong’o calls Uhuru/Ruto sycophants and corrupt..
A Dictator’s Last Laugh... Ngugi wa Thiong’o calls Uhuru/Ruto sycophants and corrupt...
I MUST have been about 10 in colonial Kenya when I saw men, women and children in a convoy of lorries being forcibly removed from their land and relocated to some dry plains they called the land of black rocks.
They sang a sorrowful melody, but one that described their love and solidarity in hardship: even when they picked a morsel from the ground, they split it among themselves.
It was an image that captured vividly the ideals of mutual care and collective hope in the Kenyan anticolonial resistance. In my first trip to Europe, in 1965, virtually the entire village saw me off at the airport. They said: You must return home.
But much of
my career has been spent in exile. My novel “Devil on the Cross” was scrawled
in my mother tongue, Gikuyu, on toilet paper from a maximum-security prison in
1978. That was the last novel I wrote there.
Last week’s
election in Kenya compels me to point out something little noticed in the West.
The real winner was a man who wasn’t on the ballot: Daniel arap Moi, the country’s
leader from 1978 to 2002, who terrorized it for 24 years and destroyed all
credible institutions, including political parties.
The
election at first seemed to augur well for democracy. Turnout was an
enthusiastic 86 percent and, despite some glitches, election observers gave the
vote a clean bill of health. The president-elect, Uhuru Kenyatta, and his
running mate, William Ruto, won with just over 50 percent of the popular vote.
Their main opponent, Raila Odinga, has refused to concede — but took
his dispute to the courts rather than to the streets, where months of
deadly violence erupted after the last election, in 2007.
Although
the process seems to have gone relatively well, it was Mr. Moi who spawned the
winners. The sycophancy and corruption of his era are still ingrained in the
political culture and are embodied by the rise of his allies in this election.
Mr. Moi was
the vice president and hand-chosen successor of Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s founding
father. Kenyatta introduced de facto one-party rule; Mr. Moi made it a
full-fledged dictatorship.
When
multiparty politics were introduced in 1992 — a phenomenon Mr. Moi hadn’t
encountered — he turned to a young upstart, William Ruto, to cling to power.
Mr. Ruto distinguished himself as a lieutenant for Youth for Kanu ’92, which
conducted a campaign of violence and intimidation in the Rift Valley Province,
home to Mr. Moi.
Thousands of residents were forced to flee. Some returned,
only to have to flee again around the next election, in 1997. The Rift Valley
was also the epicenter of the 2007 violence, which displaced hundreds of
thousands of people. In almost all the election cycles, the incitement to
violence has come from members of the political class — not the Kenyans trying
to simply lead their lives.
Before term
limits forced Mr. Moi from office in 2002, he tried to position Uhuru Kenyatta,
a son of Jomo, as his successor. Instead, voters chose an opposition leader,
Mwai Kibaki. His decade-long tenure was tainted by allegations of police
abuses, though he also tried to restore institutions wrecked by Mr. Moi. (The
two had been allies, but had a falling out.)
Uhuru
Kenyatta’s victory is due in part to his running mate, Mr. Ruto — an odd
alliance given that their factions were on opposing sides in the 2007 violence.
A consummate chameleon, Mr. Ruto joined forces, in succession, with Mr. Moi,
Mr. Odinga and Mr. Kibaki. He was this election’s kingmaker, happy to be wooed
by both leading candidates.
Mr. Kenyatta
and Mr. Ruto share more than political expedience: they both face charges of
crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court for their
alleged roles in the 2007 clashes. They have pleaded innocence, but they also
deftly exploited the charges during the campaign, presenting themselves as
victims of imperialist interference. Mr. Ruto faces another legal battle over
allegations that he stole land from someone who fled the violence.
Against the
backdrop of political intrigue, Kenya struggles against exploitative practices
by Western corporations. A self-isolated middle class cruises in luxury above a
sea of poverty. Nairobi’s skyscrapers and opulent hotels dazzle the foreign
observer’s eye, while blinding it to the shacks, broken roads and unfinished
World Bank projects.
Will Mr.
Kenyatta and Mr. Ruto, two of Kenya’s wealthiest men, revive the economy,
reduce poverty and corruption, resettle displaced persons and prioritize the
interests of ordinary Kenyans? I am skeptical.
Kenya has
never enjoyed a truly democratic culture. A new Constitution adopted in 2010
tries to decentralize powers and set up checks and balances. It offers a chance
to roll back the entrenchment of the Moi legacy. Only then, finally, might the
nation silence a motto Mr. Moi once embraced, without a trace of irony:
“L’état, c’est Moi.”

Did DENNIS ITUMBI hack the IEBC website to RIG for UHURU KENYATTA?
Did DENNIS ITUMBI hack the IEBC website to RIG for UHURU KENYATTA?
He is known as the guy who hacked the ICC
website and leaked some emails from the International courts. Although, he was
arrested and let go Dennis Itumbi has never stopped from leaking confidential
information to the public.
Through his Facebook page an anonymous person has
accused him of hacking the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission
website. If you remember during the tallying, the IEBC systems were hacked and
the country resorted to manual tallying.
According to the anonymous person, Itumbi hacked
the systems to manipulate the results in favor of Uhuru Kenyatta…just to jog
your memory Itumbi was in the Jubilee campaign team and is one of the
beneficiaries of the new Government.
Below is the letter which holds the accusations:
"Dennis
just tell me the truth, why did you hack the IEBC server? why did you use your
skill and talent to deny Kenyans their right? Don't deny because the whole
thing has been traced to your number 0724*****6, you hacked and am sure you
will be exposed in court, Eng. Rege will testify and show how you helped rig in
Jubilee, History will not spare, remember he who lives by the sword dies by the
sword...he who hacks, will also be hacked to death, be careful and just know
you will not get away with the mischief, you are a hopeless idiot, a fool
without a proper job, you have no future, you hacked but we will win the
case.....go to hell" Well...bring it on is all I say to you @fake name and
if you mean what you say use your real name and use an account that is
existent....
And this is what he had to say on the allegations:
Riots over unused 'IEBC materials' found in University...
Riots over unused 'IEBC materials' found in University...
A
vehicle was torched and the Thika highway blocked on Friday evening as Kenyatta
University students went on the rampage claiming unused election materials had
been found at the campus.
The
materials, which bore resemblance to official Independent Elecetoral and
Boundaries Commission (IEBC) materials were found at the Kenyatta University
Business Centre.
They
included unmarked ballot papers for the presidential race, unused ballot boxes,
rubber stamps and marker pens.
Ballot
papers for Nairobi's governorship and women representative contests were also
discovered..
The authenticity of the materials are yet to be verified.

BENSOUDA vows to nail UHURU KENYATTA at despite dropping MUTHAURA’s case
BENSOUDA vows to nail UHURU KENYATTA at despite dropping MUTHAURA’s case
International Criminal Court Chief
Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda has said that her office plans to proceed with the
case against Kenya’s President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta even though it dropped
charges against his c0-accused Francis Muthaura earlier in the week.
Bensouda
said that the case against Uhuru and that against Muthaura can be split up
because the two had separate roles in orchestrating the violence;
"While
Messrs Muthaura and Kenyatta were allegedly linked together as members of the
common plan, they are alleged to have played different roles in that
plan," she said in a written submission to the trial chamber.
"The
distinct nature of their roles was summarised by the Pre-Trial Chamber in the
following way: whereas Mr Kenyatta was allegedly “in charge of the provision of
financial and logistical support to the direct perpetrators”, Mr Muthaura
allegedly “secur[ed] the support of the Mungiki and direct[ed] the latter to
commit the crimes in Nakuru and Naivasha”, as well as “provided institutional
support for the execution of the crimes on behalf of the PNU Coalition."
Bensouda
added that the insufficiency of evidence in the case against Muthaura does not
apply to the Uhuru case;
"Because
the two accused are alleged to have had different roles, the evidence against
them is different, and any insufficiency of evidence with respect to Mr
Muthaura’s particular role would not apply to Mr Kenyatta.”
Besouda
added that the prosecution’s case against Uhuru has remained the same;
"Finally,
the withdrawal of charges does not affect the Prosecution’s allegations
regarding the nature of the common plan, Mr Kenyatta’s alleged role in the
plan, or the evidence the Prosecution will rely upon to prove its case against
him at trial. In sum, the Prosecution’s factual case against Mr Kenyatta is
unaltered," she said.
FERDIAND WAITITU gets SHOCKER as Court dismisses his election petition
FERDIAND WAITITU gets SHOCKER as Court dismisses his election petition
News just in indicates that the
Constitutional Court has this evening dismissed an election petition filed by
TNA’s Ferdinand Waititu against the election of ODM’s Ferdinand Kidero as
Nairobi Governor.
Waititu filed the petition this morning claiming that Kidero
and his running mate Jonathan Mweke illegally benefited from flawed voter
tallies in at least seven constituencies.
Waititu, the immediate former Embakasi MP, failed to benefit
from the TNA wave that carried his erstwhile allies Mike Mbuvi a.k.a Sonko and
Rachael Shebesh into the Nairobi Senate and Women Representative seats
respectively.
Waititu appeared to have a falling out with the two just
before the elections when it was rumoured that he was secretly backing ODM’s
Bishop Margret Wanjiru against Sonko.
CORD’s JOHNSTONE MUTHAMA arrested over HATE SPEECH in ODM rally, Kibera, Nairobi
CORD’s JOHNSTONE MUTHAMA arrested over HATE SPEECH in ODM rally, Kibera, Nairobi
News just in indicates that Machakos Senator-elect
Johnstone Muthama was arrested, recorded a statement and later released over
incitement charges.
Muthama, who has been Prime
Minister Raila Odinga’s foot soldier, was arrested over incitements remarks he
made in Kibera on Tuesday.
Muthama, who is a gemstone
billionaire, sensationally stated that if CORD doesn’t get a win in the
upcoming petition, there will be no peace in the country, a statement police
said rekindles the ghosts of 2007 –o8 post election violence.
Police termed this as hate
speech and said he will be arraigned in court with more charges once
investigations are over.
This is a big blow to CORD
especially at a time when they want to hold rallies across the country after filing
a petition at the Supreme Court challenging the declaration of Uhuru Kenyatta
as the fourth President of Kenya.
Muthama’s arrest has already sparked
a heated debate among Kenyans on social media platforms with some saying that
(viewed in connection with the Government's warning yesterday to foreign
journalists) it could be a sign of things to come once the Jubilee Alliance
assumes power.
Muthama is also a close
ally of Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka.
How Nairobi's smart, pickpockets stalk passengers
How Nairobi's smart, pickpockets stalk passengers
The
pickpocket of yesteryears was a ragged rascal who would relieve you of
the wallet in a crowded place especially as you struggled to board the
already overfull matatu at peak hours. And in the evening you would most
likely find the urchin enjoying his ‘mkebe’ of busaa at a disreputable
joint along Racecourse Road in Nairobi.
But today the pickpocket is a highly refined operative, who is fashion conscious smart and very well fed. In all likelihood, in the evening he would be sitting next to you in that trendy city or suburban pub, enjoying a cool beer and nyama choma with his lady.
That is why if you are taking a matatu to Eastleigh, Kangemi, Westlands or any other destination to and from the city, you should be very wary – pickpockets abound and they are deceptively well built and neatly dressed. One would, like I initially did, mistake them for working middle class men, doing some off-duty errands.
I have had a few encounters with these ‘gentlemanly’ goons but I got a firsthand chance to see how they operate when I recently boarded a route 23 matatu from Westlands to the city via Muthithi Road. By the time I boarded the vehicle, half of the seats in the Nissan van were occupied by what I would later realise were well-built men of middle height scattered across the seats.
I sat on the third seat from the driver and a well-fed man in blue jeans, holding a large manila envelope on his lap, ushered me to the window seat, ostensibly to avoid being scotched by the afternoon sun.
The matatu left the Westlands bus stop with several seats still unoccupied, and picked some passengers along Muthithi Road. First to be picked were two young men of Asian extraction, who sat on the second seat from the driver, which already had one of the big men as an only occupant. Curiously the big man separated the two by ushering one of the men to the window seat and then occupied the middle uncomfortable one (the Nissan van’s engine protrudes towards this seat leaving little room for the passenger), and left the door seat to the other Asian man.
In memory of an earlier pickpocketing incident where I had lost some money, I found this strange and took a second look at the man seated next to me. He looked so ‘off duty working middle class’ that it took a lot of persuasion from my inner self to conclude that he could be a pickpocket. I at the same time looked behind me and realised the big men in the other seats either had the huge envelopes, rucksacks or some sort of posters on their laps. I had heard that these are used as cover while accomplishing their evil missions. But there are those who operate without this stuff.
That set off the alarm bells and I immediately removed money from my shirt pocket and deliberately and in full view of the man next to me, put it in the rear trouser pocket. Sending an even clearer message, I gave the conductor a Sh500 note for fare and I held the balance he gave out by the hand instead of putting it in the pocket, the message being “the only way you will have this, is by openly snatching it”.
As people alighted and others boarded, the ‘bouncers’ kept leading them to the window seats, the trick being that as one tried to get off, the man would deliberately obstruct them, pretending that he was unable to quickly remove their legs. In the meantime he would be busy easing out the contents of your pockets. In this manner, passengers lose their money and documents, bus stop by bus stop.
I do not know their plight, but when the two Asian men alighted somewhere along Kipande Road, they were replaced by an Asian woman and for a split second I noticed the man who had been sitting in their midst, wink at the passenger next to me. I cannot however tell whether he was able to steal from her and/or the passengers before her.
As we approached Murang’a Road from Kipande where some people alighted, for some reason the man who had been covering me went to the seat behind me that had just got a new passenger and his partner who had been occupying that seat came and sat next to me.
He pretended to be busy on his ‘very smart’ smartphone informing whoever he was talking to where he had reached and asking for directions on where they would meet. You can however bet that he was talking to nobody, as he kept poking his face next to mine looking out of the window to ostensibly pinpoint the exact location of where we were. Unfortunately for him, I was on high alert and there was no way that he was going to pick my pockets.
But as I had realised in the earlier incident, in some cases the driver and conductor of the matatus are in the know and at times facilitate the pickpocketing indirectly but consciously. I do not know how they communicated but in this case when the thieves realised the remaining quarries could escape the net, the matatu instead of going to the route 23 terminus adjacent to the old Nation House, stopped at the entrance of the route 118 terminus near Khoja Mosque and the conductor hurriedly shepherded the passengers out of the vehicle.
This deliberately illegal move was meant to scare the passengers quickly out of the vehicle and as the people scrambled to get off, (I refused to budge), I could hear commotion behind me as passengers tried to disembark but were cunningly blocked and stolen from by the huge men.
By the time all the passengers were out (I was the last), the young man who had occupied the seat behind me was loudly shouting that he had been robbed and urging two of the other smart goons (he had no way of knowing they were part of the gang) to help him run after the thief.
At this point I told the vehicle’s crew that they must have been aware of the crooks, an accusation they brushed off feebly but instead of going to the route 23 stop, the matatu stopped at the roundabout directly opposite Nation House at the junction of Tom Mboya Street and River Road and started picking passengers to Highridge instead of Westlands.
That and the very act of a matatu deliberately stopping and taking its time at an illegal stop especially in the city centre that teems with traffic police and city council askaris was very telling and to me brought a feeling of déjà vu.
Barely a month earlier I had entered a route 9 matatu at ‘Commercial’ and as soon as it was on its way, the conductor started messing with the psychology of passengers telling them that the vehicle would not follow the normal route and that they would not be dropped at their destinations.
This elicited a heated argument between the conductor and passengers who unfortunately did not know that among them were crafty pickpockets working in cahoots with the crew. In retrospect, I believe the racket was a deliberate distraction to ruffle the passengers and give the thieves the chance to steal from them.
By the time the matatu turned towards Pangani near the Nairobi Water Company offices, the passenger seated next to me was a huge well-dressed man who was loudly arguing about passengers’ rights and trying to draw me into the debate. Standing next to the door was another of his size and apparently on the same goodwill mission.
Normally route 9 matatus would not stop at this ‘black spot’ junction, but oddly the vehicle stopped at the dangerous corner and allowed passengers, I included, to casually alight. However as I tried to wiggle out of my seat, the man seated next to me kept blocking my exit, pretending that his legs were too long.
Surprisingly, the matatu driver patiently waited for us to ‘leisurely’ alight at the illegal stop but by the time I hit the ground, I realised that I had been relieved of the contents of my rear pocket, either by the man who had been sitting next to me or the one standing next to the narrow door. That the matatu crew knew what was happening is obvious.
So next time you take a matatu to or from these or any other city destinations, and a heavy, smart man in his late 20s or early 30s crutching an ‘X-ray’ envelope or light rucksack is the other passenger, keep your valuables very close and be ever vigilant. That does not by any standards mean that all well-fed, casually smart men carrying envelopes in matatus, are pick pockets.
But today the pickpocket is a highly refined operative, who is fashion conscious smart and very well fed. In all likelihood, in the evening he would be sitting next to you in that trendy city or suburban pub, enjoying a cool beer and nyama choma with his lady.
That is why if you are taking a matatu to Eastleigh, Kangemi, Westlands or any other destination to and from the city, you should be very wary – pickpockets abound and they are deceptively well built and neatly dressed.

This deliberately illegal move was meant to scare the passengers quickly out of the vehicle and as the people scrambled to get off, (I refused to budge), I could hear commotion behind me as passengers tried to disembark but were cunningly blocked and stolen from by the huge men.
By the time all the passengers were out (I was the last), the young man who had occupied the seat behind me was loudly shouting that he had been robbed and urging two of the other smart goons (he had no way of knowing they were part of the gang) to help him run after the thief.
At this point I told the vehicle’s crew that they must have been aware of the crooks, an accusation they brushed off feebly but instead of going to the route 23 stop, the matatu stopped at the roundabout directly opposite Nation House at the junction of Tom Mboya Street and River Road and started picking passengers to Highridge instead of Westlands.
That and the very act of a matatu deliberately stopping and taking its time at an illegal stop especially in the city centre that teems with traffic police and city council askaris was very telling and to me brought a feeling of déjà vu.
Barely a month earlier I had entered a route 9 matatu at ‘Commercial’ and as soon as it was on its way, the conductor started messing with the psychology of passengers telling them that the vehicle would not follow the normal route and that they would not be dropped at their destinations.
This elicited a heated argument between the conductor and passengers who unfortunately did not know that among them were crafty pickpockets working in cahoots with the crew. In retrospect, I believe the racket was a deliberate distraction to ruffle the passengers and give the thieves the chance to steal from them.
By the time the matatu turned towards Pangani near the Nairobi Water Company offices, the passenger seated next to me was a huge well-dressed man who was loudly arguing about passengers’ rights and trying to draw me into the debate. Standing next to the door was another of his size and apparently on the same goodwill mission.
Normally route 9 matatus would not stop at this ‘black spot’ junction, but oddly the vehicle stopped at the dangerous corner and allowed passengers, I included, to casually alight. However as I tried to wiggle out of my seat, the man seated next to me kept blocking my exit, pretending that his legs were too long.
Surprisingly, the matatu driver patiently waited for us to ‘leisurely’ alight at the illegal stop but by the time I hit the ground, I realised that I had been relieved of the contents of my rear pocket, either by the man who had been sitting next to me or the one standing next to the narrow door. That the matatu crew knew what was happening is obvious.
So next time you take a matatu to or from these or any other city destinations, and a heavy, smart man in his late 20s or early 30s crutching an ‘X-ray’ envelope or light rucksack is the other passenger, keep your valuables very close and be ever vigilant. That does not by any standards mean that all well-fed, casually smart men carrying envelopes in matatus, are pick pockets.

Chris Brown To Be Arrested By Ghana Police?
Chris Brown To Be Arrested By Ghana Police?
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Cephas Arthur has reiterated the police willingness to arrest American R&B musician, Chris Brown.
According to him, even though he has returned to his country, the law which is no respecter of a person can go for him and deal with him accordingly; that is, if investigations prove that he was indeed smoking marijuana.
The ‘don’t wake me up’ singer courted controversy when he was seen smoking weed live on stage during the ‘Hope City Concert‘ at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium on March 5.
Many have questioned why the police didn’t do anything about it since it is against the laws of Ghana.
Speaking in an interview on Peace FM’s news 6pm Monday, DSP Cephas Arthur, the Director of Public Affairs at the police headquarters said Ghanaians should not be surprised that the police service is determined to get to the bottom of the issue and to arrest Chris Brown in the US if found guilty of the section 5 of the Narcotic drug, control, enforcement and sanction act of 1990.
“We are in a global village and due to technological advancement and laws all over, no matter where he is; whether Ghana or America, the law can deal with him if found culpable. We are investigating the use of narcotic drugs which can be found in section 5 of Narcotic drug control enforcement and sanction act of 1990, PNDC law 236 which states: a person shall not without lawful authority or excuse smoke, sniff, consume, inject into the body or otherwise, administer a narcotic drug on the body of that person; and so he can be arrested based on that…” he indicated.

6 Kind Of Women Every Man Should Avoid

are good. The various Holy books recommend marriage, and most men want

RAILA ODINGA was told he WON by 55% …. Asks why Kenyans did NOT celebrate UHURU/ RUTO’s win
RAILA ODINGA was told he WON by 55% …. Asks why Kenyans did NOT celebrate UHURU/ RUTO’s win
Prime Minister Raila Odinga has asked President
–elect Uhuru Kenyatta to state whether he will respect the outcome of the case
that CORD coalition intends to file at the Supreme Court, challenging his election
as Kenya’s fourth President.
Addressing CORD leaders at the Kenyatta
International Conference Centre on Wednesday, Raila said he won the March 4th
election with between 53-55 percent, a victory he claimed has been denied in
the sham process conducted by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission
(IEBC).
Raila said CORD has
sufficient evidence for a petition on Mr Kenyatta’s win, expressing optimism
that the Supreme Court would rule in CORD‘s favour.
Raila, who was CORD Presidential
flagbearer, said he would have accepted the outcome of the elections if IEBC
would have conducted the election fairly without favouring one side.
“Nothing would have pleased
me more than conceding had I lost fairly. But this did not happen. In fact we
won in first round, three exit polls indicated that we received between 53 and
55 percent of the total votes cast,” Raila said.
Raila who was accompanied
by his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka said it was not fair for Kenyans to turn
out in large numbers to vote, only for the election results to be
pre-determined in favour of President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta.
He asked why despite Mr
Kenyatta being declared winner, there were no celebrations in many parts of the
country.

NINE out of EVERY 10 KENYANS voted in RAILA--IEBC DATA shows
NINE out of EVERY 10 KENYANS voted in RAILA--IEBC DATA shows
At least nine out of ten registered voters cast their votes in 17 counties in last week’s polls, translating to a massive turnout that shaped the eventual results.
Official results from each of the counties also indicate clear voting patterns in favour of leading contenders President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta and his main rival Prime Minister RailaOdinga.
In Uhuru’s stronghold of central Kenya, the data from Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission reports that 94 per cent of registered voters participated in Nyandarua and Murang’a counties, with Nyeri coming third at 93 per cent.
Homa Bay, Siaya and Migori counties had the highest voter turnout in Raila’s turf at between 92 per cent and 93 per cent, an indication of how critical regional and ethnic support for contenders is in Kenya’s polls.
Eleven of the 17 counties that reported the 90 per cent-plus voter turnout were Uhuru’s strongholds, which show Jubilee coalition did well in rallying followers in its strongholds to get out and vote.
In contrast, the bottom counties as regards voter turnout were Kilifi (65 per cent), Mombasa (66.6 per cent) and Kwale (72 per cent). These were CORD’s strongholds.
Raila booked a strong performance in all counties that reported less than 84 per cent voter turnout, including populous Kisii, Kakamega and Nairobi.
Nationally, 86 per cent of the 14.3 million registered voters cast their votes, a record turnout in the country’s history.
It is only Mandera, among the counties that voted for Jubilee coalition, which reported a lower turnout than the national average at 84 per cent.
Voter turnout would be a key component in determining results of a fresh election should the Supreme Court rule in favour of CORD.
CORD legal team headed by Education minister Mutula Kilonzo and his Lands counterpart James Orengo has indicated that it would be filing a petition at the Supreme Court by Monday next week seeking to nullify the results of the presidential election.
VOTES CAST
A huge voter turnout in Jubilee coalition’s strongholds is among the grounds that CORD is contesting Uhuru’s first round win where he garnered over 6.1 million votes, equal to 50.07 per cent of the votes cast.
CORD was yesterday granted its plea by the High Court in Nairobi to inspect Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission’s voter register that was used in the polls where it hopes to unearth malpractices like multiple voting.
In the case that the yet-to-be filed petition is ruled in CORD’s favour and a fresh election called, Uhuru’s team would have its work cut out in marshalling supporters in its strongholds to come out and vote, especially in Coastal region.
Jubilee coalition would be hoping that its followers would repeat the massive show of approval granted in the March 4 elections.
