Raila Odinga blocks his friend turned foe, Miguna Miguna

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader, Honourable Raila Odinga, has blocked his fierce critic, Miguna Miguna, on the Twitter Social platform. Raila blocked Miguna Miguna who has been hitting him back, more so after the handshake with President uhuru Kenyatta.

After being blocked. Miguna Miguna turned to Social media to continue his onslaught on Raila. “Mr. Hand-Chequer (Loosely translated to mean a corrupt person), Raila Odinga, the chief cowardly hypocrite, blocks me on Twitter as “TREASON: The Case Against Tyrants and Renegades” nears release. It’s going to be an EXPLOSIVE REVOLUTIONARY engagement ahead. Cheers!,” wrote an angry Miguna yesterday, Friday 23rd November 2018.

Miguna Miguna has been hurling insults at Raila and Uhuru. See a selection of some of the abuses. He refers to Honorable Raila to as ‘Mr. Hand-Cheque’;

  • “Mr. Hand-Cheque, Kenyans are waiting for you to also visit ISRAEL OTIENO AGINA, the longest serving political detainee in Kenya; a man who served more than 10 years on your behalf and also on behalf of Jaramogi. As Lenin said, hypocrites are the swine of history.”
  • “The Kenyattas, Mois, Odingas, Kibakis, Biwotts etc have stashed Kshs 15 TRILLION Kenyan Shillings abroad – more than enough to build bio degradable factories, schools, hospitals, universities and housing projects in each village for 100 years. Repatriate our money.”
  • “Mr. Hand-Cheque Raila Odinga travelled to India with his daughter, formed shell companies there with Indian and Chinese directors then returned to Kenya, held a press conference with his Indian nominees as “Indian investors” in biodegradable bags. Say No to Corruption and Ujinga(Stupidity). Mr. Hand-Cheque, EMPOWER Kenyan INDIGENOUS entrepreneurs. Bio degradable bags are made out of local products – sisal fibres and OTHITH. We don’t need Indians, Chinese, European or American “investors.” Stop being a neocolonialism storoge..”

The fiery lawyer who was forcefully deported from Kenya is set to publish a new book on the ‘big’ families that he calls dynasties. The book is set for publication on 20th December 2018.

The 450 page book is titled ‘TREASON: The Case Against Tyrants & Renegades, 2018’. See the preview of the book in the image below (Courtesy of Miguna Miguna):

Sad news! Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka berieved

Former Vice president and Wiper leader, Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, has today lost his father, Mzee Peter Musyoka Mairu. Mzee Mairu died at Nairobi Hospital where he was undergoing treatment. He was aged 94.

President Uhuru Kenyatta was among the first leaders who sent their condolences: “My deepest condolences to you my brother @skmusyoka, on the passing on of your father, Mzee Peter Musyoka Mairu. May God grant you grace for this period. Our prayers are with you, your family and friends.”

Deputy president, Hon. William Ruto. in his condolences said: “Deepest condolences to the family of @skmusyoka following the passing on of their father, Peter Musyoka Mairu. Mzee Mairu was a gentle, kind soul whose amiable disposition made him many friends. He fought for democracy, human rights and free expression. Rest In Peace.”

Hon. Raila Odinga: “Pole sana my brother @skmusyoka following the passing on of your Father Mzee Peter Musyoka Mairu. We share in your grief. May God grant comfort to your family at this trying moment.”

Hon. Wavinya Ndeti: “My deepest condolences to the family of my Party Leader H.E @skmusyoka following the demise of their father Mr. Peter Musyoka.
May God give the family the requisite strength & fortitude to cope.
May his soul RIP & shine on his way to dance with Angels and other legends like him.”

‘Stop this impunity and theft’- ODM Leader tells MPs demanding for higher pay

The Orange Democratic Movement, ODM, leader (H.E Raila Odinga) has castigated the recent clamor for higher perks by Members of Parliament, MPs. through a press statement by his his Secretary today, Hon Raila says that he ‘is deeply disturbed by attempts by Members of Parliament to raise their pay and related perks at a time the country is going through a difficult economic phase.’ Raila’s statement comes after the MPs passed a bill to increase their benefits, amid protests by Kenyans. Kenyan Legislators are considered to be one of the highest paid MPs, worldwide, currently.  Read more details here: Current salaries, benefits and new demands by Kenyan MPs.

Despite warnings by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, the MPs have forged forward in their push for more pay. According Onyango; “Mr. Odinga is equally concerned that the pay hike conspiracy by MPs is coming at a time other public sector employees such as teachers, nurses and civil servants are going through pay restraint and are generally accepting less pay for much work.”

The former Prime Minister is now appealing to members of Parliament to appreciate that the country is struggling with huge debts that cut through the broad spectrum of the country’s economy and deficits strangling specific critical sectors.

“(Am) appealing to Members of Parliament to refrain from returning the country to the pre 2010 Constitution days after swearing to protect the Constitution of 2010,” Hon Odinga says. He further adds that before promulgation of the 2010 Constitution, there was anarchy that should not be allowed to creep back, into the country. “Under the pre-2010 regimes, the matter of MPs pay would be out of the control of Kenyans. But, that is no longer the case,” Raila notes.

The former premier says it is only the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, that is constitutionally mandated to determine salaries in Kenya. “The 2010 Constitution that Kenyans voted overwhelmingly for, the task of determining salaries of public officers, including MPs, lies with the Salaries and Renumeration Commission (SRC). The SRC has warned that the pay demand by MPs, if affected, would touch off a clamor for similar raises across (the) public sector where many spirited officers are currently doing with little to deliver much to our citizens,” Raila advises.

Hon Odinga now appeals with the MPs to stand with the common citizens and also to stop the erosion of public trust in the Legislators through this grand larceny and impunity that they are trying to force on tax payers.

It remains to be seen whether the MPs will heed Hon Odinga’s advise more so after turning down pleas by the President and Deputy President to pass the two thirds gender bill.

Governor Anne Waiguru in a double header handshake with Raila and Ruto today

Months after former Prime Minister, Hon Raila Odinga, and President Uhuru kenyatta held a public handshake and decided to come up with the building bridges initiative, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru was at it today.

First, it was Vice President (Hon William Ruto) when the two met at Hilton Hotel in Nairobi for the Development Partnership forum earlier today:

The Deputy president sensationally castigated the former devolution Cabinet secretary over the NYS scandal; when she was still the Cabinet Secretary.

Later, today, Governor Waiguru met the former premier. Waiguru said this after the meeting: “Just had a meeting with former Prime Minister H.E Right Honorable Raila Odinga on the outstanding matter in court. In the spirit of cohesion and reconciliation in the country, the matter stands settled.”

The two have been on a frosty public relationship over the NYS scandal. Hon Raila had this to say: “Held a meeting with Governor Anne Waiguru and agreed to ‘let by-gones be by-gones’ and leave the matter of the NYS scandal in the hands of investigators. She said her case against me is now settled in the spirit of reconciliation that the nation has embarked on. We also reviewed the status of devolution in the country and agreed to exchange views frequently on how to address the challenges.”

Below, see  images from the meeting between Hon. Raila Odinga and Governor Anne Waiguru. Governor Waiguru is the current Vice Chair to the Kenya Governors’ Council.
