KENYAN DIASPORA PERSPECTIVES ON THE NOVEMBER 21ST REFERENDUM AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Nairobi (HAN)
November 21, 2005 - Most likely, the Orange team, which is
campaigning for a “No vote” in the referendum will win on Monday, a
victory that is, most likely, going to raise various issues in the
post-referendum situation in Kenya. In the event of a No victory, our
analysis is that all Cabinet ministers and Assistant Ministers in the
government who are aligned to the No camp will be sacked by Kibaki. The
President has been under pressure from the Mount Kenya Mafia (MKM) to sack
all the so called "rebel Ministers" in his government while a
kettle of vultures in the “Yes camp” have been competing for
nominations to positions expected to fall vacant after the grand fall out.
What will follow is that the sacking of the ODK leaders is going to push
them into the opposition where there is a big vacuum occasioned by the
failure of the tainted KANU Party to oppose the Kibaki government. The
deep crisis that engulfed KANU after it lost power led to a fatal split
within the Party with one faction joining the ODK and remnants of another
faction accepting position in the government as bribes in return for
support of Kibaki’s unworkable policies.
After the government loses the vote on Monday, government business
(especially in Parliament) will come to a standstill because MPs aligned
to the government cannot pass bills without the support of MPs in the No
camp. The abrupt creation of 27 new districts by Kibaki in the run up to
the referendum was not just a plan to “bribe voters” or a strategy of
“divide and rule” but a long term scheme to engineer the manufacturing
of extra seats in a future Parliament especially in areas where Kibaki
believes that he has support.
The expected paralysis of Parliament, further tension in the government
after the referendum and the awaited crystallization of ODM into an anti-Kibaki
opposition will greatly destabilize Kibaki’s administration because the
Orange team will have a mass based support while the government will
mostly likely suffer serious isolation due to a history of betrayal of
Kenyans who voted Narc in power.
The first headache for Kibaki is that after the referendum, the ODM
leaders will begin to call for the implementation of the Bomas draft on
grounds that it is the legitimate Draft Constitution Kenyans are
interested in. Secondly, ODM will come back to haunt Kibaki by calling for
the resignation of the government, a vote of no confidence in the Kibaki
administration or a snap general election, arguing that after the defeat
in the referendum, the government had lost the authority to rule.
Apart from Mwai Kibaki who is largely regarded by his pawns as a
“Godfather”, the thirteen most important Kikuyu chauvinists and
members of the “Mount Kenya Mafia” currently preaching ethnic hatred,
running down the country and reminding Kenyans repeatedly that the Kibaki
dictatorship is a “Kikuyu government” comprises of the following known
economic criminals:
1. Mr. John Njoroge Michuki, Minister of Internal security and his
Assistant
2, Mr. Mirugi Kariuki, Assistant Minister of Internal Security.
3. Mr. Kiraitu Murungi, Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs
and his Assistant
4. Robinson Njeru Githae, Assistant Minister for Justice and
Constitutional Affairs
5. Dr. Christopher Ndarathi Murungaru, Minister of Transport and
Communication, key economic criminal also banned from traveling abroad by
both British and US Imperialism.
6. Mr. Daudi Mwiraria, Minister of Finance
7. Professor George Saitoti, Minister of Education and his Assistant
8. Beth Wambui Mugo, Assistant Minister of Education
9. Mr. Njenga Karume, Minister of special Programs
10. Mrs Martha Karua, Minister of Water
11. Mwangi Kiunjuri, Assistant Minister for Energy
12. Mr. Amos M. Kimunya, Minister of Lands and Settlement
13. Francis Muthaura, Seceratry to the Cabinet
14. Njeru Ndwiga Ndwiga, Minister of Co-operative, economic criminal
Other tribal chieftains who have failed their people and who support the
government blindly by dishing fake promises to their Constituents to
sustain the Kibaki dictatorship are:
1. Moody Awori, Vice president, former lackey of former President Moi and
current darling of President Kibaki.
2. Musikari Kombo, Minister of local government and opposition traitor
3. Raphael Tuju, Minister of Information and Broadcasting (also
"Angel of death" in Kisumu city and killer of freedom of press)
4. Simon Nyachae, Minister of Energy, wealth and land grabber, economic
criminal, former Moi sychophant and a traitor of his own people in Kisii.
5. Moses Wetangula, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs
6. Noah Wekesa, Assistant Minister Livestock
7. Charity Ngilu, Minister of Health (Boot-licker, key lackey of Kibaki
also known to have made begging trips to State House to feed her starving
people with yellow animal maize)
8. Danson Mungatana, Assistant Minister for Lands and Settlement
9. Morris Dzoro, Minister for Tourism who also came with a new system of
lining up illiterate Masaais at the air port to cheer tourists.
10. Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi, Minister of Industry
11. Fred Gumo, Assistant Minister of Information and Broadcasting (also a
war-lord and commander of Private army called Kamjeshi)
12. David Mwenje, Assistant Minister of Education, capricious sycophant,
unreliable and judas iscariot (kigeugeu-a person who betrays
his own people in times of need)
There are other traitors from North Eastern province, Coast, Nyanza and
Western who could be mentioned later. What is known is that Kibaki will be
relying on the above mentioned “enemies of Kenya” whose bad leadership
has and continues to divide Kenyans.
After the referendum, and assuming that the No campaigners win, ODK
leaders will be in a stronger position to make a huge political impact in
Kenya if they can mobilize the masses (who supported the No vote) to the
streets.
If this mobilization happens, the government will panic and will begin to
mobilize the police, the Para-military GSU, Mungiki and other official and
unofficial institutions of violence including the army to try and stop ODM
from becoming a serious political factor that the masses could begin
looking at as an “alternative” to the corrupt government.
Already, the government has met Mungiki leaders to prepare the sect’s
leadership for the post referendum confrontations with the point of focus
being the creation of chaos by Mungiki if the Orange wins the referendum.
Unfounded and inflammatory talk by Kibaki’s top men about the Orange
team training youths and former Ex-Kenya Air Force soldiers in forests
have been reported in the media. This cheap government propaganda and
disinformation is aimed at preparing Kenyans psychologically to passively
accept the use of unjustified force, violence and State terrorism by the
government if Kibaki loses the referendum.
The Orange leaders must be prepared to witness the ugliest face of the
government and be prepared to deal with any political consequences because
in the event of mass anti-government mobilizations and protests, the
government will feel threatened and will resort to shooting and killing of
innocent demonstrators, mass arrests, detentions, human rights violations,
imprisonments or even assassinations of Orange leaders if that is what it
will take to enable the Mafia team to cling on to power.
Kenyans and the world have witnessed events in Zanzibar where violence was
used to quell protests after rigging of elections by CCM (Chama Cha
Mapinduzi) and where the military was used to terrorize the Zanzibari
opposition. In Ethiopia, a major bloodbath, incarceration of opposition
leaders and their supporters and detentions have been witnessed after the
Ethiopian dictatorship rigged elections in May this year. In Uganda, our
neighbor, Dictator Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, has began a program of arrests,
detention, intimidation and harassment of the opposition because the
former guerilla leader wants to become the “Life President” of Uganda.
In Kenya, the situation might not act itself in exactly the same way. But
the most probable scenario is that after the referendum, there will be an
outbreak of violence which, we believe, will start in Nairobi and spread
to other areas as the Mount Kenya Mafia begins to respond to street
protests and internal pressure for the implementation of the Bomas draft,
calls for the resignation of the government or demands for a snap General
election. A “No victory” will greatly increase the confidence of the
ODM leadersip which will begin to see itself as the next government, a
situation that will force the Mount Kenya Mafia to resort to desperate
means as a matter of political survival. It is here that the instruments
of violence at the hands of the State will become handy.
A critical point is that other ethnic groups in Kenya will not allow
themselves to be dominated, deceived, killed and starved to death by a
tyrannical and barbaric clique of blood sucking Kikuyu ruling elite who
simply wants to retain power and privileges using a counterfeit
Constitution that has been rejected by Kenyans. Regardless of the amount
of force the government will try to employ, it will be impossible to stop
Kenyans from changing the government once the Mount Kenya Mafia gets a
“Red card” at the referendum. Despite his iron-fisted method of
misrule, former President Daniel arap Moi failed even to sustain a one
party dictatorship after Kenyans said “enough is enough”. Kenyans
sacrificed their lives in the streets!
The view of KESDEMO is that the Orange campaigners should not compromise
or succumb to the whims of the Kibaki dictatorship regardless of the
outcome of the referendum. Our view is that the ODK leadership should act
in the following directions:
1. Go ahead and campaign for the Bomas Draft (Wanjiku) Constitution to be
implemented using the mass support they already enjoy.
2. Begin an immediate campaign for a vote of “No confidence” in the
Kibaki government.
3. Call for a snap General election on grounds that the No vote is a vote
of no confidence in the government.
4. Begin mass mobilization country-wide especially in all rural and urban
areas in Kenya like Nairobi, Kisumu, Nakuru, Mombasa, Lamu, Malindi, Nyeri,
Meru, Muranga, Thika, Garisa, Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit, Isiolo, Nanyuki,
Kiganjo, Kisii, Kakamega, Busia, Kericho, Eldoret, Kitale, Kajiado,
Machakos, Kitui, Taita, Wundanyi, Naivasha, Nyahururu, Gilgil, Ruiru,
Kiambu etc through demonstrations and mass protests in the streets
to try and achieve the above objectives.
5. Begin a campaign amongst all Kenyan workers to take industrial actions
in support of campaigns to overthrow the Kibaki dictatorship.
6. Mobilize and prepare the millions of neglected and abandoned youth to
join and resist the oppressive and dictatorial regime of Kibaki until
victory is won.
7. Paralyze Parliament and make it impossible for the Kibaki government to
pass illegal and unjustified laws that will further the exploitation and
plunder of our country by both wealth grabbers and imperialist forces
operating in the country.
8. The Orange team should begin a campaign aimed at police, the
Para-military GSU, the Armed Forces, National Youth Service (NYS), Game
Rangers, Administration Police, the Prison askaris, Forest Guards, Flying
Squad, NIS (National Intelligence Services), CIDs and other private armies
not to be used by a corrupt government to frustrate the struggle of the
majority of Kenyans yearning for liberation of their Motherland.
The Mount Kenya Mafia will not be able to defeat a determined people
yearning to free themselves from the yokes of Neo-colonialism and
dictatorship currently represented by Kibaki. KESDEMO is in solidarity
with all Kenyans in the struggle and will do everything possible to
advance the liberation struggle of our people from political dictatorship
of the Kibaki type, Neo-colonialism and capitalist class rule that has
held our people in bondage.
