THE RIGGING STORY The international media especially in the EU has taken an offensive position against our nation I am saddened that we have all fallen for the allure of ODMs "truths". Dear Kenyans, Evaluate the rigging claims for yourselves! Meaning that even the dead, the unborn and the terminally ill in hospitals voted in Luo Nyanza and Rift Valley! Trust PNU to be fast asleep as this happened at the polling stations! At that meeting, ODM realized that from this audit, upon revisiting all the 210 constituencies with all the relevant documentation that Kibaki had won. Despite all their rigging and tribal inferences, ODM were out! Ruto rushed to deliver word to Raila who went to a press conference late morning. He came out before results were released and said that he does not want to pull off an Abiola (Research on Abiola) and does not want to resort to turning Kenya into an Ivory Coast ! He implied he would not accept defeat of any sort. He also told his supporters to be calm until the announcement. This was to give them a signal to cause chaos upon announcement. Later, Raila walked into KICC guerilla style. He walked thru the plenary hall where everyone else was seated and stormed into the ECKs private chambers. With his entourage, they blockaded the ECK from leaving the room to announce results! This took place for hours all the time he was coercing the ECK to do what he wanted. When it wouldn't work he went outside to address a press conference rejecting anything that the ECK would announce! Upon his re-entry into the plenary hall ECK arrived and Kivuitu began his announcement of the results from molo. Kibaki led in that constituency. Raila himself literally converged on Kivuitu as Ruto began to involve himself in physical confrontation. GSU had to step in and escort the ECK out as Ngilu tried to grab onto Kivuitu and stop him from leaving. Why was everyone including the media get thrown out? Some press members comprised a large group of hecklers that were a big part of the planned ODM chaos. They had to be removed! ECK went to the VIP room and with official observers and KBC announced the result. Another question, why did the ECK take so long to announce even when they knew the winner? First, delayed results, second, ODM interference. The third thing is here. While the agents were at the ECK for the meeting last night, the results were apparent and Kibaki had won. His agents reported back to him. Kibaki asked ECK to stall the announcement so as to allow for the army to assemble at the barracks and go into red alert as well as to position the police countrywide! This also allowed time for the CJ to be taken to statehouse early. A vacuum at such a time could result in military rule if there is civil strife! Kibaki was thus quickly sworn in. Raila also wanted to call on a million plus supporters to stream into Uhuru Park where he would be pronounced president and sworn in separately. The govt took action. It blocked all live broadcasts to avert this coup attempt. The lack of media has enabled the govt to keep out inflammatory messages that will cause worse strife. Kikuyu in Eldoret have been killed like nonsense. In Kisii migori, after the results came out, ten people killed in less than 15 mins. In Rift, Kalenjins are killing each other. In one estate they burnt house after house while throwing people out into the street and killing them. A friend's house was in that estate. Her whole family, kalenjins, regretted voting for Raila and giving him the mandate to cause chaos. She said that it might be her last day as all her neighbors were out on the street dead! Kikuyu homes and businesses have been burnt to a crust in all slums. The Luo have destroyed their own home in Kisumu and now Kibera is all on fire! All this for the selfish ambitions of Raila! He called them out as he followed **** Morris strategy to the letter! Kenyans chose Kibaki. He is a national figure! He had over 25% in 7 provinces and even 17% in Nyanza and Raila had that in only 6 provinces and in central and eastern he had just 2% and 5% respectively. Most impressively Kibaki got a large tally of votes in Western, North Eastern and Coast! We need to unite at this time to refuse militant rulers in our country who refuse to follow the rule of law and will take power by force. He blatantly dismissed the laws of Kenya in Sunday morning's press conference by saying he does not care for the courts and will not set foot there to settle his grievances! He has chosen to use force and the blood of Kenyans to seize power! We refuse! We pray against it! He cannot deny us 10 million Kenyans who turned up, stood for seven and a half hours and even lost our IDs to exercise our constituitional right! We are here and we are together as peace loving KENYANS. Join us in solidarity. We love Kenya too much to see such abuse of our laws and unity! As for the EU, I take a stand to publicly denounce them. Their comments are based on their own selfish vested interests in this country. The fact of the matter which u all know is that the EU has been a loser throughout the five years Kibaki has ruled! They have lost billions of Euros in trade to the Far East and they are not happy about that at all. * Fact: Kenya engages with China for a large majority of its trade which was previously monopolized by the EU. * Fact: Kenya has given over 90% of all its contracts to China for infrastructure! * Fact: Kenya is no longer dependent on the donor funding to draw up its budget! Kenya relies on local revenues for 95% of its budget with the other meagre 5% shared out between donor funds from China, EU and US. In comparison Tanzania and Uganda draw up 78% and 88% respectively of their budgets from donor funding. The donor community is full of sharks that use donor money to siphon trillions out of their own economies! * Fact: Kenya has been the torch bearer for the rights of African and Pacific nations to have fair and unbridled trade with the EU. They are making ALOT of progress. EU has gained nothing from Kibaki's administration and wants him to go! They want us eating out of their hands like we did in Moi's time. This is neo-colonialism! Divide and conquer. It has happened in too many African countries for us to be blind here in Kenya ! We refuse EU control of our Nation! They want to turn us against ourselves so as to take strategic positions in the process. They are looking for ethnic cleansing and genocide to overrule Kenya . Never! Kenyans, open your eyes, the war is not within but with those around us! THE PROPHECY WE ALL IGNORED - IS IT RIGHT AFTER ALL? A globally reputed prophet had on the morning of September 30th 2007, foretold on his website that President Mwai Kibaki would be re-elected(among other 30 highlights on Kenya) Many who saw the posting brushed him aside, he had also foretold of chaos after the election...now we just cannot ignore him any more. In the prophesy posted on the link http://www.thomasmanton.com./prophecies/index.php?ctr_id=110&cnt_id=2, the prophet remains optimistic that Kenyans will recover from the current crisis and that the nation will have more airlines, a booming tourism industry and great development projects. He says that the military and the police will play a key role in containing the current crisis and will succeed in restoring order. THOSE who voted for Kibaki are NOT KENYANS? The impression created by the term "Kenyans have spoken" is that only those who supported a certain candidate are Kenyans. My understanding is that those who voted for Hon. Odinga - the MP-elect for Langata, are Kenyans. I am further of the understanding that those who voted for President Kibaki and MP-elect for Othaya are Kenyans. I am even further convinced beyond doubt that another 20+ million people in Kenya who did not vote for either of the two are Kenyans too. Even if Hon. Odinga got one vote, while President Kibaki got 17 Million votes that one vote for Odinga is from a Kenyan. If President Kibaki got one vote and Mr. Odinga got 10 million, that one vote for Kibaki is from a Kenyan. It is this kind of selective application of terms and situations that is in part fueling the animosity we are seeing. We are hearing of rigging elections by President Kibaki, but we are not being told why Mr. Odinga's brother - Mr. Oburu Odinga, was elected in a constituency that returned a 102% voter turnout. A 102% voter turnout is rigging, my friends. Rigging is rigging. Mr. Odinga is a Kenyan and his supporters are Kenyans. President Kibaki is a Kenyan, and his supporters are Kenyans. The most pressing thing right now is for leaders in both sides of the divide to realize that life is so sacred, that there is no ambition whatsoever that is worth killing people over. How would Hon. Odinga and President Kibaki feel if those were their children, sisters, brothers, mothers or fathers that were burned while taking refuge in a church from FELLOW KENYANS? The time is NOW for Hon. Odinga to go on national TV and radio and categorically tell his KENYAN supporters to cease the wanton taking of lives and destruction of property. The buck stops with him. It is his supporters (and those loaned to him by Ruto) that are rioting and committing genocide.
