SUGAR WOES

I think I have finally figured what is going on in the sugar industry.  I'm looking at the other subsidiary industries in agriculture and I'm convinced the government is chief suspect in this perennial problem. Sugar problem is an economic sabotage to the people living around the sugar belt. Now this is my opinion.

The genesis of sugar problem in the market is the Jubilee government itself. Immediately Jubilee came into power, sugar companies started crumbling piece by piece. A people who are economically disempowered are also politically disenfranchised. Political muscles are supported by a skeleton of economic power.

Am saying the death of sugar factories was a well orchestrated onslaught against the people of western Kenya. This is why the sugar cartels are an interconnected framework of sub-cartels touching on those to whom the back of governance of this country stops. Paralysing or murdering the sugar industry means economic disempowerment of the Western part of Kenya with a view of reducing their political weight and influence.

Now you know why compelling Dr Fred Matiangi to face PSC over contraband sugar is a vain attempt. There's no way he'll implicate his bosses. Look at coffee and Tea industries mostly in central and Rift Valley respectively, they are doing marvelous enjoying government protection and with effective policy reforms which ensures they don't suffer from smuggled cheap imports, privatization and intrusion.

 The only person who can fix sugar problem, sugar industry and sugar companies is the government and as such president Uhuru and WSM are the men to blame for the ailing sugar industry. Today a Kilogram of sugar has shot up to ksh 140.

SUPREME COURT RULING

MY SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT I am not a lawyer and as such I am only qualified to render my layman’s submission to the court of public opinion, where one does not apply to be “amicus curiae.” In the court of public opinion everybody is both a lawyer and judge and so I can adduce my evidence confidently and make a ruling on my evidence. I want to usurp this opportunity to tell my one page judgment as Chief Justice David Maraga advised. The Chief Justice invited the public to read the Supreme Court judgment and subsequently make individual ruling.             Guys I tried to look at Chebukati trying by hook and crook to exonerate the commissioners from the mess and implicating the secretariat. Chebukati clarified they just assumed office a few months ago, coming into an old secretariat. Although the summary ruling of the Supreme Court judgment did not point out the culpability of the first and second respondents, my opinion is; ...

KAPENGURIA SEVEN

REST IN PEACE FALLEN KAPENGURIA SEVEN. My deepest condolences to the bereft families of seven slain gallant, patriotic officers in Kapenguria. This is an article I wrote on the daily nation last year April last year. I have just read it again and I can’t help being remorseful. Police officers go through a lot.   It is sad that by trying to uphold the law, they paid with their dear lives. The officers resolve to remand in custody a man suspected of links with Alshabaab terror group, led to their encounter with the brutal gun Burrell. It is completely ridiculous and preposterous to blame the police officers for their own death and to concoct somehow a political narrative out of this unfortunate occurrence.    Of course the police know better that apart from protecting the lives of the masses, their own security is paramount. Even within the disciplined police service. Such isolated cases of disgraceful acts from rouge police officers will always occur. Radicali...

WHY IEBC MUST NOT RENEGE ON THE 48,000 VOTERS.

WHY IEBC SHOULD NOT RENEGE ON ELECTION RULES. Wafula   Chebukati, must be the most troubled man, sitting on such a hot seat that is the IEBC chair. I am intrigued by his meeting with the presidential aspirants yesterday and how the contenders are pushing him over the cliff to waver on laid down rules concerning presidential nominations. I don’t find any reason why a country like Kenya should register such a huge number of aspirants for the post of president. It is preposterous and laughable for IEBC to waste resources including all these twenty aspirants in the ballot paper. Even if having such an astronomical number of aspirants does not affect the cost of the ballot paper, it will definitely create a huge impact on the final tally of the presidential votes.   It will lead to lots of spoilt votes. The vast list of contenders will lead to confusion especially on illiterate and semi illiterate voters who have nobody to help them vote their preferred candidate. There...
