Call for Election Kenya is in crisis; Mudavadi tells Uhuru

Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to step aside and call for elections to pave way for capable leaders to stabilise the country.

Mudavadi said the economy was now driven through “habitual management by default” and there is widespread corruption driven by unaccountable officers.

“I am telling the inept government of Kenya: You can fool some people most of the time, but you can’t lie to everybody all the time. The least you can do is admit you don’t know what you’re doing and pave way for those capable,” he said.

The ANC leader made the remarks yesterday when he addressed the Annual General Meeting of Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), Vihiga branch at Friends College Kaimosi.

The former Deputy Prime Minister said the government was facing a serious disconnect between its fiscal and monetary policies leading to cash flow problems and allowing President Kenyatta to finish his term would be throwing the country into greater confusion.

Mudavadi said the Eurobond saga was an exercise in contempt of public accountability.

“When the economy is tipping; there is a cash crunch and government cannot raise salaries; interest rates and inflation is high; people are losing savings at the stock exchange and cannot repay loans; when the cost of living has sky-rocketed, then something is wrong,” said Mudavadi.

He added, “And when government cannot account for what it did with the Eurobond money, the same government has the audacity and nerve to shamelessly take us for fools.

It then mocks us that all is well; ‘we spent the money to spur the economy, reduce inflation and cost of borrowing; so pay more taxes on juice’.” Mudavadi said he steered the country through the tumultuous 1990s when it had been made a pariah as a result of Goldenberg looting. “I got us moving again from the doldrums through major economic reforms. It is clear the infectious ‘bug’ is biting us all over again. As teachers, parents and Kenyans, you have two choices to make come 2017:

You can choose my team to restore sanity and give Kenyans a decent life because I know what to do or choose an incompetent Jubilee or a decaying CORD,” he said. He said the appetite to consume by the government without investing in production is a major contribution to the failing economy and called for suspension of some development projects. Mudavadi asked teachers to use their numbers to influence major decisions in the country by electing better leaders.

Teachers hold a special place in society. They are not just the income elite and investors that underpin the local economy, but more so the moral fibre and development voice in society. In their hands, the destiny of our country is moulded,” he said.

He said the symbiotic relationship between teachers, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the government has not worked in the recent past, forcing them to resort to industrial action.

“In this confrontation, matters of quality education have taken a back seat. The government finds it difficult to ask the teacher why education performance is failing without blaming the teacher for what is wrong,” he said.

The ANC leader asked the government to obey the court order and increase teachers pay. “The issue of TSC refusing to remit union dues under the pretext that it’s doing a payroll audit would be laughable if it were not tragic. If TSC isn’t lying, why not pay the dues and deduct any over payment to unions in later remittances?” he posed.

He said Government’s disregard for court orders was brazen autocracy that a democratic country cannot afford.

Mudavadi noted that the education sector was in a shambles, from Early Childhood Development to university, where systems have broken down, yet the government, instead of addressing the meltdown, has chosen the easy road of window dressing.

“Through attempts at damage control, impunity has driven the government to break every law and thrown management of education into disrepute. The result is that education policies are being made on a daily basis at the whim of individuals,” he said.

Mudavadi said the problems in the education sector and the Kenya National Examination Council’s (Knec) denial of exam leakage amounts to a government that is sabotaging human resources development.

“It is destroying a generation, discrediting the legitimacy and credibility of education and its certification among Kenyans and abroad and reducing Kenyans’ competitiveness in accessing employment. Given the massive leakage reported this year, I request Members of Parliament to urgently amend the Knec law to make the council accountable to Kenyans rather than to the Education Cabinet Secretary,” he said.

US REPUBLICAN'S DONALD TRUMP INSULTS AFRICANS AGAIN

United States’ Presidential candidate in the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump has once again vented his disgust for Africans by referring to them as lazy fools only good at eating, lovemaking and thuggery.

The Business magnate, who is also the republican Presidential torch bearer promised to deport all Kenya origin, Africans including president Barrack Obama as he illuminated how he plans to reconstruct America and restore its lost glory.

Trump spoke bitterly as he said: “African Americans are very lazy. The best they can do is gallivanting around ghettoes, lamenting how they are discriminated. These are the people America doesn’t need. They are the enemies of progress.

Look at African countries like Kenya for instance, those people are stealing from their own government and go to invest the money in foreign countries. From the government to opposition, they only qualify to be used as a case study whenever bad examples are required. How do you trust even those who have ran away to hide here at the United States hiding behind education? I hear they abuse me in their blogs but I don’t care because even the internet they are using is ours and we can decide to switch it off from this side. These are people who import everything including matchsticks.

In my opinion, most of these African countries ought to be recolonized again for another 100 years because they know nothing about leadership and self governance.” “I promise to make America great again by restoring our dignity that we have since lost through Obama. The more reason why I still believe that he, and his Kenyan brothers and sisters should be deported back to Kenya to make America safe.”

DONT USE LAND REFORMS TO ALLIENATE COMMUNITIES FURTHER -LESUUDA

Don’t use land reforms to alienate communities further
By Naisula Lesuuda on October 21, 2015 Comment

BY NAISULA LESUUDA

When Kenyans enacted the new Constitution in 2010, one of the crucial areas that we decided to focus on was land reforms. The key target of land reforms as enshrined in the supreme law is the recognition, protection and registration of community land rights.

It is unfortunate that land reforms have now turned into a political process that fails to respect the aspirations of the people occupying this nation. It is especially disheartening that the proposals that were derived by the taskforce on community land have now been trashed and we are presented with land Bills that do not respect the needs of the people.

In the ongoing debate, we fail to appreciate that the community land holdings system exists in over 65 percent of Kenyan land mass, which is endowed with natural resources that are being discovered for spurring economic growth. However, the communities living in these areas depend on the same community lands for their livelihoods.

Thus, gains of the recognition, protection and registration of community land rights as provided for by the Constitution are yet to be felt. Many communities, and especially pastoralists who rely on such lands, are already suffering as community land continues to be taken away from them. We cannot sit back and watch as the little remaining parcels of land continue to be taken away.

We are talking about people who have not enjoyed the freedom of owning land though they have occupied it for years. We are talking of people who have, for the lack of enforceable law, not been provided with title deeds for the land they occupy.

It is not the time to take away whatever little piece of land that belongs to these communities but the time to empower them and give them the control of this land. They should have the say on whether they want to continue administering it as a community or to divide it amongst themselves.

It is therefore curious that the Community Land Bill 2015, which purports to provide for the administration and management of community land, fails to establish a viable institutional framework for the governance of community land as it consolidates regulatory power in the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Lands.

The structure of registered community, whose establishment is provided for in the proposed law is severely limiting and does not lend itself to the expectations of the communities who had proposed a three tier inverted pyramid institutional framework, in line with the social hierarchy of the community informal set up.

The nature of community land title as provided for in the proposed law is tallied on exclusive individualistic private tenure titling without due regard to the flexible and inclusive nature in which communities hold, access, control and use community land.

The kind of community land title we as leaders from affected regions have always proposed is best suited to work with land use planning framework that involves the community in planning. We must realize that these communities take land as part of their livelihood and we cannot therefore turn it into a commercial commodity.

We see that the proposed law diverts heavily from the proposals of the taskforce as it is majorly about converting community land to other categories. The 2014 proposals had a schedule for specific conversion of public land back to community land as a way of dealing with historical land injustices.

The many squatters at the Coast region are victims of this alienation that resulted from converting community land to public land owned by the government. They were then left at the mercy of the government as they were displaced and dispossessed.

Related to this, it is unfortunate that the historical Land Injustices Bill that had been formulated by the constitutional National Land Commission (NLC) has been swallowed by the Land Laws (amendment) Bill, 2015. This former was suited to help Kenyans deal with the long-ranging illegal and irregular allocation of community

GOVERNOR TUNAI SPEECH ON NAROK MASHUJAA DAY

Governor Samuel Tunai, the day’s guest of honor, took the occasion to announce that two foreign investors have confirmed plans to set up a meat processing and, separately, a potato processing firm in the county.

The two firms mark the first batch of investors to enter Narok since Governor Tunai began a concerted international campaign to woo investors in preparation for the county’s first investors’ conference. For the first time, the Governor also announced the date of the much anticipated investor conference: December 2nd -3rd.

The Governor also explained that he was looking to get investors in the major produce sectors of the county, in particular wheat, maize, meat and milk processing. There is no reason, he declared, why Narok’s produce should be leaving the county without value-addition and the added returns to our farmers.

Citing the ongoing tarmaking of the Nairagie Enkare road, the governor assured residents that his administration would continue its development efforts in all other sectors. In this financial year, the county government will spend 2 billion on roads.
