It is an Insult to have Hon Sonko as Peter Kenneth running mate

Hon Mike Sonko popularity cuts across the whole of Nairobi

Sonko and Bishop Wanjiru are the winning team Jubilee needs

Peter Kenneth went “Missing in action” after Presidential defeat

US President Donald Trump  attacked verbally some media houses and journalists  due to what he called, improper reporting, this happened during his campaigns and after his inauguration when he claimed that one TV channel showed there were fewer people at Capitol Hill compared with President Obama inauguration, 

“This is pure lies”, President Trump Said.

Hon Mike Mbuvi Sonko

Now, I am in a total dilemma if this is what happened on Sunday, 22/01/2017, in one of the leading newspapers in Kenya the story was:-

“Jubilee Part has arrived on a formula on who will be in the race for Nairobi governorship seat”

I read the story with loads of kin interest as I wanted to understand this formula. Through the story I was disappointed after reading that Senator Mike Sonko will be a running mate of Peter Kenneth.

I have nothing against Peter Kenneth, but I could not comprehend my self-seeing him as the Governor, yet he was nowhere to be seen when we needed him most, he also did a vigorous campaign with aim of spoiling central province votes during 2013 general election.

 It is an insult to ask Senator Sonko to be a running mate, Senator Mike Sonko has a full movement behind him, a movement that cuts across all Kenyan communities and asking him to be a running mate is an abuse to this movement.

Sonko deeds are all written in white, his work in Nairobi is well known and no one can doubt, he worked to a point the county government got worried as he was offering services that the county government ought to be offering, it reached a point the County Governor threated to take vehicles used by SONKO RESCUE TEAM, and none other than Governor Evans Kidero issued the threat, and it was by force. 

As far I am concerned, I believe Mike Mbuvi Sonko will be the right person to un-seat the current governor. So when I saw that arrangement, which by then I thought were fact, I really felt let down by Jubilee Party.

Peter Kenneth

Alas, come Monday, and at Sonko instagram page, I saw a very tight written statement by Senator Mike Sonko himself denying agreeing to such agreement.  This lifted my heart and once again knew we are on the right truck.

I have nothing against Peter Kenneth; he is one among many great leaders from central Kenya who is making good progress in politics, but I believe he has a long way to recapture his lost fame after what happened in last general election

That said, i do not know if the writer of the story is one among many said by US President, or where did such information came from?

I believe for such story to be written, the journalist should have counter checked with all concerned parties to hear their side, but going with one source, it looks a casual.

Peter Kenneth should first try his luck at his back yard Muranga County; we all know the good job he did there as member of parliament, before he spoiled everything by being on the opposite side which was seen like wishing to send Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto to doom at ICC.

Kenneth also decided to spoil central Kenya votes for Uhururo team; he was seen like a Raira patronage that is out to spoil the votes, same as how Raphael Tuju was perceived in Nyaza. But all the same both guys knew, it was through a big miracle for them to win the presidential race.

On the other hand,  Sonko was travelling with the President or Deputy President all the way to The Hague, I can recall an argument once he had with a police officer at the ICC court who tried to stop Kenya delegation to say a word of prayer.

Am not saying Sonko should be given the ticket due ICC matter, which actually can be used to determine who among them is a true friend to Uhuruto, but Sonko has done wonders, from time he was Makadara Member of Parliament to current position of Nairobi Senator.

Remember the old lady from Siaya County who was jailed due to some land disputes, Sonko was touched by what happening to her and as a good leader he dispatched SONKO RESCUE TEAM all the way to Siaya to help get her freedom back, and she got it after Sonko paid the court fine.

Bishop Margeret Wanjiru

Not that alone, but so many occasions Sonko rescue Team has being called to actions, either helping  transport  loved once to their  final resting place, or rescue child with a bullet stuck in his head, a burning houses within Nairobi slums,  just name them, yes…Sonko has being a shoulder for many to lean on.

Nairobians need a leader who understands them, who knows all panya routes to all slums, who has shown has ears and eyes when needed. Sonko has being able to help even the rich class who found their properties being grabbed by powerful cartel at city hall. Remember the Asian family that was almost going to lose their plot at Langat, It was through Sonko intervention the matter was sorted out and the family still enjoys their plot and house?    You wondering …….. Yes …, that is how Mike Mbuvi Sonko loves his people

 For Jubilee to get Nairobi governor, the party must be ready to get a candidature that that will be accepted by all communities living in Nairobi County. The leader must be with a touch with all class of people, but needs specific group from the so called slums to win the seat.

Remember what happened to Jimnah Mbaru, he lost even after being supported by the business community and most of middle class Nairobians. Nairobi votes are always with slums dwellers and remember this time around the election will be held in August which means many people will be still in Nairobi. It is my guess many guys from the slums have no idea who Peter Kenneth is, maybe with a refresher talk, they can recall him as a Presidential candidature as the name sound familiar , but have no idea where he went after losing the election.

He went missing in action till now.

Even for a running mate for Sonko, I would not go for Peter Kenneth; Bishop Margaret Wanjiru will be a better team member.

That will be a winning team that will bring the governor seat to Jubilee fold.

Hon Waweru,

Hon Waweru

my brother I know you had great dreams to be the next Nairobi governor, but I think this is not the right time for you, I would please ask you kindly to once again vie for the MP seat you are holding.

Be careful not to lose that seat to the opposition due to a weak candidature.

It is my wish that Jubilee Party will do the needy thing and handle Mike Mbuvi Sonko the ticket to deliver the seat home.

  

HON WILLIAM KABOGO-SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED GOVERNOR KIAMBU 2017 ELECTION.

                        He is a leader with a focused agenda for Kiambu County

                        His development record is second to none

                        His support for President is a Plus for him

           

Ok, Kenya general election is around the corner and we expect to hear all sorts of promises and propagandas from politicians. In Kiambu we have two very respectable politicians vying for the lucrative Kiambu governorship. The current Governor, William Kabogo Gitau and Hon Ferdinard Waititu (Baba Yao), currently MP for Kabete, these two giants will be calling shots, but there shall be one winner.

Hon William Kabogo and Hon Ferdinard Waititu

And that winner, am so sure will be Hon. William Kabogo Gitau.

Both leaders have whole pages of books to sell their progress records and promises. Hon Waititu, commonly known as Baba Yao has built a base of followers, but not in Kiambu, but in Nairobi area commonly called East land. Here Hon Waititu was a hero due to his endless fights with land grabbers and city inspectorate who were harassing hawkers.

His fearless ways of dealing with rich land grabbers, demolishing building or elected fences on lands that he believed belonged to community and institutions, made him a force to reckon within Nairobi politics. The nick name, ‘Baba Yao’ came from the so called slum dwellers whom saw him like their father (Baba). This made him to be in good books with poor Nairobians, but he also became a thorn and an enemy to the rich class.

His persistent to Nairobi council that hawkers should not be harassed within CDB, made him un-wanted man by business community.

Actually, the rich class worked against his election to be Nairobi governor in last general election by supporting one of them, Jimnah Mbaru a founding member of Nairobi Stoke exchange. Eventually, the governor seat was won by current Governor,  Evans Kidero of ODM party.  

On the other hand, we have Hon William Kabogo Gitau, the current Governor of Kiambu County, and a man who has built his political carrier from nowhere.

Hon Ferdinard Waititu

Hon William Kabogo

Hon Kabogo has full goodies that he has done for Kiambu County; from the time he was Member of Parliament for Juja constituency and now, Kiambu Governor. There are many goodies that Hon Kabogo has done which makes it right to re-elect him back as Kiambu Governor, once again.

We cannot forget what Hon Kabogo did during the crisis of our hard working ladies who were in Saudi Arabia working as house helps.

These women were treated like slaves, working almost 24/7 without rest days and no communications back home. This situation was brought to national attention by Hon. Kabogo who fought tooth and nail for their repatriation back home.

Our memories are still very fresh with the Maputo children. These children were left orphans in a foreign country after their mothers who had also gone there to work died in un-clears circumstances. Hon Kabogo, took upon himself to fly the children back home, at the moment, he is educating more than 100 children in different levels of education, nursery, primary and universities.

Kabogo with Deputy President Ruto

Juja Constituency Development Fund was recently ranked 5^th best in the country. This was due to achievements done using the funds, with well- planned projects that have been completed and minimal mismanagement of funds. This has been possible due to one fact, Hon Kabogo is a qualified finance administrator who worked as an auditor with an NGO before shifting to Mombasa as a business man and later in politics.

Among the achievements by Juja CDF are:-

Ø New health centers.

Ø Construction of new classrooms in different schools.

Ø Drilling of multiple boreholes within the county that serve the locals.

Ø Supply of electricity through the 'Umeme Pamoja Schemes', which is Kabogo brain child.

Ø Construction of modern Police houses for administration police.

Ø Construction of bodaboda shades.

Ø Improvement of county drainage systems which for so many years have been an eye sore.

Ø Improvement of wellbeing of farmers by introduction of fish ponds which has actually turned the power of purchase for local farmers and especially women who sell the fish and have their own income.

Ø Ensuring every civic ward has a new primary and secondary school fitted with modern sanitation facilities.

Ø At the moment the Governor is in process of working out how youths in Kiambu can be of more use and stop alcohol abuse which is a menses within the county.

Ø Insecurity is another area the Governor has improved and at the moment people can build their houses and live peacefully.

     Kiambu is a rich county that has produced two President, the founding father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and the current President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Thus, being a governor of this county is paramount; as it is the home of power and you must also be ready to defend the Chief Excutive officer of the Land, President Uhuru. Hon Kabogo has mastered when to voice his voice for both President Kenyatta and his Deputy President William Ruto.

Hon Kabogo has more than once stood up against the opposition politicians who have being insulting the President and his Deputy. He has also proofed his support and for Deputy President Election in 2022.    

Hon Kabogo with President Kenyatta

Central province and the entire community has vowed to support Deputy President during 2022 election as a way of saying thank you for supporting Uhuru Kenyatta , both politically and during the ICC era.

    This has being a plus for him as Hon Waititu developed cold feet after he was arrested due to      hate speech during the famous Parkland six.

    It is my wish that Kiambu people elect wisely and vote Hon William Kabogo Gitau back as        Kiambu Governor so that he can finish his projects.

KABOGO TENA.

These Doping Claims will hurt Kenya Dominance -If not well Managed

This doping claims need to be counter checked NOW

All foreign “runners” must be vetted locally

We must Protect our young stars.

Doping drama in Kenya will not end soon as long we do not control the so called foreigner coaches and managers.

Sumgong and F Kiplagat two of Kenya hope in Marathon at Rio

The Kenya 3A, the immigration department must bare full responsibility for all we are seeing happening to our stars. Kenya participated for the very first time Olympic in 1956, but her first ever medal; a bronze was in 1964, won by Wilson Kiprugut in 800m in Tokyo, Japan.

This shows Kenya as a country has a unique talent and blessing given by the Almighty God and this is not by any chance a unique. If you look worldwide, you will find different countries with different talents.

Nigeria, the country has massive talents in football, Senegal has the best basketball team for women in Africa, Jamaica has great sprinters, Russia has wonderful gymnastic athletics, USA and Cuba has great boxers, Kenya and Ethiopia share some of great long distance runners and this is due to the Almighty wishes and there is nothing we can do about it. 

When the world became aware that, Kenya is dominating middle and long distance races, several theories were put forward, and even there were experts who were studying Kenyans, specifically the Kalenjin community which solely has produced over 95 % of all world beaters.

The study found out that, any normal high school male form this community can out run a well-trained athletics from Europe so easily. Their physical strength and able to with stand for long any resistances were found to be a inborn ability and not something you can learn.

“Running, like any sport, is inherently physical, and physical traits inform athletic success. Just because Larry Bird and Michael Jordan are tall doesn't mean they aren't first and foremost great athletes. Part of Olympian Michael Phelps' record-breaking swimming is his unusual body shape, which is genetically inborn; you can't train for longer arms. All athletes owe some of their success to their own physical traits, but because Kalenjin runners share those traits across an ethnic group, and because that ethnic group is part of the story of colonialism and white exploitation of blacks for their physical labor, it's harder to talk about. But that doesn't make their athleticism any less amazing”

Athletics Kenya chairman Elgeyo Marakwet County branch Pius Kiplagat Lai has cried out loud and wants these foreigners to be controlled, he says the influx of them is the cause of doping allegations that we keep on seeing reports done by western media.  

Lai was speaking at the side-lines of the Safaricom Iten Road Race on Saturday.

 “In the past, cases of doping were unheard of but today it seems the situation is escalating and we blame this for foreigners who are entering this area and trying to lure our young athletes into using the banned substances,” Lai said.

Two of Kenya hope in 3000m steeplechase, Kemboi and Kipluto

“Imagine people who want to misuse such young athletes come from their countries and tell them they will pay for the air ticket and enter them into races abroad. For you to be facilitated, you have to perform well and since they need also money athletes are lured to use the drugs,” claimed Lai.

Over the past three years, about 40 Kenyan athletes have tested positive for the banned substances and some are still serving their respective bans.

Three-time Chicago marathon winner Rita Jeptoo was the biggest casualty in Kenya being the top athlete who tested positive for a banned substance called EPO.

Recently World Anti-Doping Agency removed Kenya from its list of non-compliant countries to its code since the country had started implementing the anti-doping law.

While saying that the athletes should be aware of the punitive measures in the anti-doping law, Lai want the young athletes to train hard and salvage Kenya’s hard earned athletic fame.

“The law is in place and I know the culprits will face the law. Let us stay true to our sport and keep our image clean. Kenya is known as an athletic power-house and we should not taint by accepting to be cheated,” He added.

But three days later after WADA cleared Kenya from watch list; another report emerged claiming one of Kenya senior officials was caught on camera admitting of soliciting money from athletics so to alert them in advance of doping test teams.

Even though we want a clean championship, we also do not want double standard on this matter by these media out lets. The Western media is acting like there is bad blood between them and Kenya athletics.

We never saw this during Canada’s Ben Johnson doping,  

I think it is high time the Kenya government takes control of Iten training camps. Any person entering the country and claims to be am athlete, trainer or manager must be scrutinized well by CID officers in conjunction with KAAA.

The history of any foreign athlete, which races he/she has taken , and time achieved must be counter checked, we cannot allow people taking 3 hours to finish 42kms race to came and camp at our home of Champions.

Any person not known by our KAAA official and has no running data collected by anybody monitoring athletics worldwide, should not be allowed in Kenya in pretence of doing training at Iten.

Owners of training camps in Iten should do Kenya better by making sure that only true athletics are housed in their camps. Proper mechanism in hotels for foreigners should be put in place; anyone with recording equipment’s must get clearance from local authorities.

Faith Kipyegon is expected t bring home elusive 1500m medal.

We should put in place committed officers who can stop any suspicious person and inquire of his/her interest in those areas.

KAAA official must also pull up their socks and be extra careful with any interviews requested by any foreigner, no matter the weight of story, there should consult security organs and have a lawyer within the interviews.

It is high time, Kenya authority guides our young athletics with passion, Iten and Markwet is our land given to us by Almighty God and the talent within this areas must be protected at all cost.

Rio Games:Team Kenya face another doping claim -Once again from Germany Media

The camp has one fridge, which is community used.

There are sixteen cameras to monitor all activities.

Buying any medicine over the counter in a Chemist is normal in Kenya.

Once again, our beloved country Kenya is again on spot of world , not because of winning marathon as usual, but due to claims of doping by a Germany TV and British newspaper.

This is the second time a Germany news out lets has claimed that there are elements of doping within Kenya runners. Doping is wide spread among many athletics, and I can remember the first time I heard about enhancements drugs was during Canadian Ben Johnson Olympic win of 100m in 09:.79, but his blood was found to have stanozolol. Three days later he also accepted of using steroids when he ran his 1987 world record, this prompted IAAF to rescind Ben Johnson world and ban him from all competitions, he never recovered.

What followed was a drama where Johnson and his coach Francis complained that they used doping in order to remain on an equal footing with the other top athletes on drugs they had to compete against. In testimony before the Dubin inquiry into drug use, Francis charged that Johnson was only one of many cheaters, and he just happened to get caught. Later, six of the eight finalists of the 100-meter race tested positive for banned drugs or were implicated in a drug scandal at some point in their careers:

“This is a problem that is wide spread, for now the parties involved are well equipped to hide their deeds and cannot be so reckless as we are told.”

 It is our wish to have a clean win in sports; it really hurts a clean sportsman/woman to be denied her podium win by another athlete who is being assisted by the use of drugs. 

For Kenya, one thing we should remember is that, Kenya has being doing wonders in running even when the use of drugs was not known. Kenya first participated at the Olympic Games in 1956, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then, except for the boycotted 1976 and 1980 Games. 

Kenya first ever medal at Olympics was won in 1964 in Tokyo Japan, by Wilson Kiprugut in 800m, where he won a Bronze. Naftali Temu started harvest of Gold medals in1968 at Mexico Olympics in 10,000m, the great Kipchoge Keino announced his presence in the same games by winning 1500m Gold, Amos Biwott  won 3000m steeple chase , which for no known reason has been a Kenya event since then, even sometimes winning all three spots on podium.

Others were, Silver- Benjamin Kogo 3000m steeplechase, Silver -4X400m Kenya team (Daniel Rudisha, Munyoro Nyamau, Naftali Bon and Charles Asati), -Silver-Kipchoge Keino 5000m, Bronze -Naftali Temu 5000m, Bronze-Boxing Phillip Waruinge and once gain Silver for Wilson Kiprugut in 800m.

“This was way back before doping was introduced, but Kenya still reigned. Kenyan athletes have won 86 medals in total, all from boxing and athletic events. Of those, 56 medals come from the long-distance running events, this shows there is talent in Kenya”.

Kenya has about 42 communities; from this number one community has all the praises of winning those medals, Kalenjin. This is the community that has produced all those world beaters, and note those areas called HIGH ALTITUDE areas have been their home since time in memorial.

Back in 1990s, I happened to be in an area called Kerio valley, this is another areas that produces great runners, Like Tecra Lurope.

I noted running is a normal things for children in this area, schools were always far and this meant the kids running every day morning and evening going to school and back. Within time this children becomes hardened and running is not a big deal to them, actually during primary schools running, the competitions are tough and you find those white agents coming to monitor some youngster.

This proves Kalenjin as a community has talents in athletics and it is God given, if at all doping was rampant as the claims is by those western media, we could be having many more communities running.

In few cases that Kenya athletes have being caught cheating, it has come to lime light that, the athlete   were not aware of those drugs been enhancers, Kisoria is a good example, he said he was given a medicine to cure his fever by a pharmacist who had no knowledge of WADA requirements on selling drugs to athletes, bad for Kisorio, the medicine had enhancers,he was banned from running.

It is even claimed by some of  athletics that, their managers might have administered those drugs in their foods without runner’s knowledge so has to boost the managers market and earning from major supposes. 

The Germany journalist claims that injections were found thrown in dustbins and boxes of EPO were found at the centre of the camp raises adrenaline, how can a camp of such magnitude be so ignorant and throw such injection anyhow and leave boxes laying around. Unless someone can prove me wrong, if this was so, this was a setup which can be by either other managers, other camp owners or other athletes who fear Kenya team. 

The owner of the Camp has said, there are several CCTV which are monitored 24/7, also the EPO drug is said must be kept in a fridge, and the camp has just one which is used by all athletes, and he and his wife monitor all activities and cannot allow such habit to be done in their camp.

Buying the drugs over the counters at a chemist as a patient is normal with many Kenyans, and I believe the chemist owner thought this were patients, if the journalist did actually found an-athlete buying the drug or injecting him/herself, then the story would have more weight, but for now, this a war of agents directed to Kenya athletics who are innocents. 

It is my hope Kenya will sent a clean team that will shame the critics and stand tall at Rio Games

Kenya Twende Rio....
