Kenya Dragon Slayer Slain...... Good riddance!

Arrogant Ringera quits in a huff!...

Good Riddance!

After three solid weeks of chest thumping arrogance, the disgraced Kenya Anti Corruption Director Aaron Ringera woke up Director of Integrity House and for sure will go to bed tonight with his tail tucked in between his legs as a former Anti ooops sorry, Corruption Tzar!!

This is the man that Kenyans had entrusted to wipe out or atleast keep corruption in check but actually presided over a corrupt era! How ironical of this arrogant man from Meru who actually thought he could defy the Creating authority of his office, Kenyas Parliament, Civil Society and Kenyans as a whole, on the strength of a Letter of Appointment from a duly elected President and a Contract! High class nonsense.

Good riddance i say! Although definately Kenyans will be dumped with a Kshs. 150 million Ringera exit-plan bill to foot, the young people in Kenya will often say, 'whatever maaaan!'

End of Scene 1. Coming soon Scene 1 Act 2 .... Na Kazi Iendeleeeee ...... kubaff!

Ringera to exit with Kshs 150 million?

Kenya's Anti Corruption Top Dog on the spot....

I really dont know what was going throughtPresident Kibaki's mind when he decided to extend his Corruption Tzars contract, but that move wasnt all that and a bag of chips! The most significant issue that has arisen from this circus in Kenya is that Kenyans rightfully think that former Justice Aaron Ringera never fit the bill to crack the whip on corruption in Kenya.

That the Kenyan Parliament would nullify his appointment and two of his predecessors a couple of days ago is an action that casts serious aspersions on the real intention of fighting corruption in Kenya.

Aaron Ringera, who takes home some mind boggling salary that tithers in the millions has literally watched over mega corruption scandals under his tenure and none of the big fish who have skimmed off billions of tax payerss money has seen the inside of a jail! And when Kenyans rightfully demand his exit, he cockily tells them off in his true Meru arrogance! Jesus!

Whats with that office that's so important for him to relinquish it and do something 'better' with his judicial brains? Am told that there exists an exit plan for him to leave with a wallet full of Kshs 150 million, the amount he wold have earned were he to serve a full term, just because a clause in his contract requires that he be paid for its entire period should it be terminated for any reason other than his own volition! My Goodness....

I propose that the incoming Anti Corruption head's first order of business should be to investigate Ringera kama kazi ya kwanza! This is the height of fallacy which should not be allowed to gain root in Kenya and I am glad that Kenyans have brought him to a screeching halt!

Traffic Irresponsibility in Dar es Salaam

Now whats this?????

This is my opinion is the height of irresponsibility. Doesn't this chap see it dangerous to weave around Dar es salaam traffic like this with passengers that include children? And where were all the traffic policemen along the route this guy used? No wonder traffic accidents are are a meteoric rise in Tanzania.

Kids... don't you just love'em?

And who are these for? lol

A nine-year old boy goes into the grocery store, grabs a box of tampons from the shelf and carries it to the register. The cashier asks, "Oh, these must be for your mom, huh?"

"Nope," says the boy, "not for my mom."

The cashier responds, "Well, then they must be for your sister then?"

"Nope," says the boy, "not for my sister, neither."

The cashier is now curious, "Oh. Not for your mom and not for your sister -- then who are they for?"

The nine-year-old says, "They're for my little brother. They say on TV, if you wear one of these, you can swim and ride a bike, and my little brother can't do either of those things."

Obama hosts Kenya PM Odinga in New York

 The heritage bond...

 

 US President Obama and his lovely wife Michelle this week got the priviledge of bonding with people who are just not represnting Kenya, the country of his forefathers, but people who come from where his forefathers came from, Nyanza, Kenya. In New York this week was Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his suave wife Ida whom obviously elicited some envy from Nairobi (read the duly elected President Mwai Kibaki...). Michelle reportedly inquired about her Kenyan grandmother mama Sarah Obama and requested Ida to look out for her.

A direct bonding session from these two families was definately establ;ished and pundits will keep a keen eye on future developments that arise from this established link. Hush hush 'noises' from nairobi prior to Odingas visit this week wondered if the PM would gain the rare priviledge of meeting with the worlds most powerful man. And yes he did, and in style as is known of Odinga and generally all the luo's. But do do i say, yawaa....

And following the US banning 15 top ranking Cabinet Ministers and Members of Paliament from setting foot in the land of democracy, Odinga will ride high with platitudes from this political opprtunity that many Kenyans cherish to enjoy. Well, well well.....

Tanzania Albino Killers Sentenced to Death!

The heat seems to be swelling and mounting against the grizzly Tanzanian Albino killers following the historic sentencing to death of four convicted Shinyanga residents by the High Court yesterday. Masumbuko Madata, 32, Emmanuel Masangwa, 28, and Charles Kalamuji, alias Masangwa, 42, all residents of Shinyanga Region, were sentenced to death by the High Court sitting in Kahama for the brutal murder of a 13-year-old boy.

The Tanzania Albino Society has gone ahead and petitioned President Jakaya Kikwete to assent to the execution of the four as soon as possible. And Tanzania scheduled for a general election next year, it will be interesting how the President acts on this assents.

A delighted Nominated Member of Parliament, Hon. Al-Shymaa Kwegyir, herself an albino, was quoted as saying that people who murdered fellow human beings had no right to live. "The sentences should send a powerful message to all those thinking about killing others and this are an appropriate deterrent," she said.

But while calling for the abolishing of capital punishment in Tanzania, the Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) executive director Francis Kiwanga however said that court had acted within the confines of the law by handing out the death sentence to the killers.

40 Albinos have been murdered in cold blood in Tanzania.

Delivering the court's verdict in a packed courtroom in Kahama, Mr. Justice Gabriel Rwakibalila said it had been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the accused committed murder on the night of December 1, 2008 at Bunyihuna Village in Bukombe District.

The defense team led by defense counsel Kamaliza Kayas plans to appeal against the conviction.

Jeff and Dave's Wifes' $100...lol

Two couples were playing cards. Jeff accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to pick them up, he noticed that Dave's wife, Sandy, was not wearing any underwear! Shocked by this, Jeff hit his head on the table and emerged red-faced.

Later when Jeff went to the kitchen to get some refreshments, Sandy followed him and asked,
"Did you see anything under the table that you liked?" Jeff admitted, "Well, yes I did." She said "you can have it, but it will cost you $100." After a minute or two, Jeff indicates that he is interested.She told him that since Dave works Friday afternoons and Jeff doesn't, that Jeff should come to their house around 2:00 PM on Friday. Friday came and Jeff went to her house at 2:00 PM. After paying her the$100, they went to the bedroom, had sex for a few hours and then Jeff left. Dave came home about 6:00 PM and asked his wife, "Did Jeff comes by this afternoon?"

Totally shocked, Sandy replied, "Yes, he did stop by for a few minutes." Next Dave asked, "Did Jeff give you $100?" Sandy thought, 'Oh hell, he knows!' Reluctantly she said,"Yes, he did give me $100..""Good" Dave says. "Jeff came by the office this morning and borrowed the $100 from me and said that he'd stop by our house on his way home and pay me back.

My friend It's so good to have a friend you can trust.

Kenya House Speaker is baptized

.... spiritually or politically, who cares?

Kenya's inedependent mind and straight talking House Speaker Kenneth Marende was baptised Sunday at my favourite local church, the Nairobi Pentecostal Church. Seen here baptizing the fiery ODM politician and custodian of Kenya's law creation institution is Pastor (Rev?) Kennedy, a friend of mine, who will obviously cherish and relish this lifetime opportunity for the rest of his life! lol

Spiritually or politically, Marende seriously needed this baptism, seeing that the PNU vultures have lately been circling and angling for his blood because of recent decisions the man had made in Parliament and rattled the snakes the control Kenya.

But who cares, Marende is saved! Amen!

Lord Jesus bless me and protect me from ....... (PNU...shhhhhhh)

Mohammed Mpakanjia dies in Dar es Salaam

Rest in Peace papa!

Prominent Dar es Salaam-based businessman Mohamed Mpakanjia has died. This follows the passing on of his beloved wife and renowned Tanzanian youthful legislator Amina Chifupa, who died at the same hospital two years ago.

Mr. Mpakanjia was reportedly admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and died shortly before 4pm yesterday.

Prior to being rushed to hospital, Mr Mpakanjia was preparing to host an iftar meal at Masjid Qubah, near his home in the city's Sinza area.

Mbinga West Member of Parliament Hon. John Komba, who is also Tanzania One Theatre Managing Director, and who also played a very pivotal role in Amina Chifupa's funeral preparations, said Mr Mpakanjia was more than a friend and a colleague.

Rest in Peace.

Mega Rip-off?

Tanzanian Parastatals Fleeced of U.S. $77 Million

By Joseph Mwamunyange,
The East African
14 September 2009

Tanzania's large state-owned entities have been fleeced of up to Tsh100 billion ($77 million) in what could be the second biggest corporate fraud in the country's history after the 2005/2006 central bank External Payment Arrears Account (EPA) scandal in which the government lost $131 million in dubious payments to 22 local firms.

The EastAfrican has learnt that an international syndicate with local accomplices has siphoned off between Tsh5 billion ($5 million) and Tsh100 billion ($100 million) through a fake payment system set up to swindle the Tanzania Revenue Authority.

The fraud, The EastAfrican has been told, is still under wraps as directors of firms that lost millions of shillings and senior officers from TRA shuttle between their offices and the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs to explain the circumstances that led to the theft.

The syndicate, according to a highly placed source in intelligence circles, is suspected to have recruited senior and middle level staff at TRA, various banks, the Tanzania Telecommunication Company Ltd (TTCL) and the Tanzania Electric Supply Company Ltd (Tanesco), and siphoned off the money between March and August.

Detectives are trying to establish the identity of the syndicate that has struck Tanzania's financial system yet again.

Our source in intelligence said that a sophisticated replica of the newly introduced electronic money transfer system -- the Tanzania Interbank Settlement System (TISS) -- was used by the fraudsters to siphon off money supposed to have been credited to TRA accounts from the parastatal bank accounts.

Our TRA source said the fraudsters were able to log onto the system using a special code and verified that millions of shillings had been paid through TRA.com.

In this way, money that was supposed to be transferred from TTCL to TRA using the TISS system -- introduced in March this year to facilitate payments in excess of $8,000 (Tsh10 million) -- never got to the TRA.Alarm bells were sounded when TRA approached TTCL and Tanesco to pay arrears only to be told that the money had already been paid through TRA.com.

Minister for Finance and Economic Affairs Mustafa Mkulo told The EastAfrican that the fraudsters are suspected to have swindled some $5 million -- though our source within the TRA insisted the amount was $77 million -- and confirmed that there is an investigation going on. Mr Mkulo said that he had already discussed the issue with TRA Commissioner General Harry Kitilya.

"I wouldn't want to comment on a case that has already been handed over for investigations, but as the minister in charge and under whose portfolio TRA falls, I will have to wait for the investigation report," he said.

According to the Bank of Tanzania, TISS is advantageous in that it offers same-day settlement as opposed to the cheque system which can take up to seven days for cheques to be cleared.

In addition, TISS is supposed to be more secure due to the fact that authentication is done prior to a payment being issued while cheques are authenticated after the payments have been effected.

According to the central bank, the introduction of TISS has also led to efficiency in the collection of taxes by the TRA, as all tax payments of a value of Tsh5 million ($4,000) and above are now remitted through TISS. The arrangement, says the bank, aims at minimising fraud inherent in the cheque system as well as reducing float.

However, the investigations into the alleged fraud at the TRA show that the new system is susceptible to fraud or manipulation.The Tanzania Interbank Settlement System (TISS) is an electronic system that interlinks all the banks in the country and offer real-time settlement for high value and time-sensitive transactions.

The system is expected to go regional across East Africa once all the original partner states of the EAC have fulfilled the requirements.

The central banks of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have achieved among other things implementation of the Real Time Gross Settlement System.Reliable sources in the Tanzania government told The EastAfrican in Dar es Salaam last week that the alleged fraudsters came up with an innovation that can beat any code of the bank, enabling them to siphon out money almost at will.The money was transferred to TRA through TRA.com instead of the TRA system and all incriminating evidence erased.

An official with a clearing and forwarding company said that TRA staff were telling firms to transfer the money to TRA through TRA.com whenever they wanted to make payments above $8,000 (Tsh10 million).Even though the new electronic money transfer system provides safeguards, authorities will have to rethink its application or improve the way it is applied before more millions are lost to fraudsters, said a TRA source.

The amount of money in question -- $77 million -- is almost half the amounts involved in the External Payment Arrear Account scandal.So far the government has managed to recover more than $56 million (Tsh60 billion) from firms involved in the EPA scandal with some suspects in court.

Billionaire Abramovich fails to scale rugged Mt. Kilimanjaro

Well MONEY can't get you everything Roman!
Now you know!

Well, well, well...Abramovich failed to conquer Africa's highest peak, the rugged mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania! What would be going through the mind of this totally monied brother who flew into Tanzania with a few pals in tow early this month. Intention: Let me scale this rugged terrain.
At the end of the 'kili safari' Abramovich sucessfully entered into his things-to-do list the challenge of scaling Mt. Kilimanjaro again, but on another day altogether! Roman allegedly failed to listen to local advice of getting physically prepared for the climb and probably thought somewhere along the way, the rugged natural terrain would forgive him because of all the money he has! Nah!

...and when it was all over, all he would need solace from was bottled mineral water from one of his 113 strong team of guides as seen here....

...sheikh Roman Abramovich finally accepting that the Kilimanjaro isnt all that a bag of chips!

'....well at least Chelsea fans were here to save face for me.....' seems to be on the mind of a guy would literally buy Mt. Kilimanjaro and probably plant it in his backyard...... for the sake of it!

Kenyan Mother Needs Help!

Original story from snapthatpenny. I was touched and compelled to blog this. Help if you can. Thank you so much in advance.

Contact Cherop on her blog and on twitter

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10)

Dear friends, I have a request for you. The woman you see in the snapshot above is a woman who recently went to my friend's church offices in Kenya. Her son is in medical school and studying in Nairobi. The mother needs urgent help to meet his tuition fees of $1,500. 00 US as school term has already begun.

She has exhausted all avenues of possible income generation. She has tried her best to ask people to help her raise money for her son and so far she has been able to raise $300 through a Harambee (fundraiser). But this is not enough. Her son is in 2nd year university (sophomore). She has sold all she has: chickens, cows, goats etc. She has tried her best. She didn't know what else to do so she went to the church asking for help. They could not do much, but gave her a lift to town and Pastor Jonah gave her a little of what he had. Hearts are heavy for her need.

Pastor Jonah is letting some people know of her need to see who might be able to help financially and also in prayer. I am sending directly to my friends but also decided to post it here. If you can help, any amount is accepted and appreciated. Please leave me a comment here if you wish to help this woman. If you know someone who might help, please feel free to send this post to them. God bless you for your help.

Choose The KENYAN Hell!

A man died & goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country and decides he’ll pick the least painful to spend his eternity.

He goes to the German hell & asks, “What do they do here?” He is told “first they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour.

Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day. The man does not like the sound of that at all so he moves on.

He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more.
He discovers that they are all similar to the German hell.

Then he comes to the Kenyan hell and finds that there is a long queue of people waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, “What do they do here?”

He is told “first they put you in an electric chair for an hour, and then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. The Kenyan devil comes in & whips you for the rest of the day.”

But that is exactly the same as all the other hells, why are there so many people waiting to get in?” asks the man.

A concerned fellow calls him aside and said, “Because there is never any electricity so the electric chair doesn’t work. The nails were paid for but were never supplied by the contractor, so the bed is comfortable to sleep on……And the Kenyan devil used to be a civil servant, So he comes in,signs his time sheet and goes back home for other business!!”

………… ….. IT PAYS TO BE A KENYAN HUH?

Tech Billionaire Tom Siebel attacked by elephant in the Serengeti, Tanzania

Recuperating in Silicon Valley....

Lucky to be alive, billionaire tech guru Tom Siebel (left) recuperates in his Silicon Valley Woodside home after an elephant attack while sojourning at the world famous Serengeti Game Reserve in Tanzania a month ago. The charging elephant attacked him and his guide leaving him seriously injured.

The Siebel Systems founder speaking exclusively to Mercury News says, "It was all happening so fast. There was no place to hide, no place to run."

The elephant plowed into the guide and then turned on Siebel, breaking several ribs, goring him in the left leg and crushing the right. Siebel said they were able to radio for help only after the animal lost interest and wandered away, but it was three hours before he received any medical treatment.

Siebel sold his business to Oracle four years ago and now divides his time between his Woodside home, an office in Palo Alto and a ranch in Montana, where he raises cattle and competes in team roping events. He said he was on a photo safari in Tanzania last month when the elephant attacked without warning.

Billionaire Roman Abramovich in Tanzania

... set to climb Africa's tallest mountain Mt. Kilimanjaro from tomorrow morning

Chelsea's Billionaire Russian owner Roman Abramovich jetted in to Arusha, Tanzania at 8pm last night ready to scale Africa's tallest Mount Kilimanjaro. The moneyed man flew into Kilimanjaro International Airport on a chartered Boeing 747 200 seater jet with only six people in tow. Lucky to bump into the billionaire was Tanzania Deputy Minister for Trade and Industries Dr. Cyril Chami (in picture) who exchanged a few pleasantries with Roman before being driven to Arusha's exclusive Rivertree Country Inn where he spent the night.

His is scheduled to start the 8 day Kilimanjaro rugged terrain climb via the Shira Route on the western slope of the mountain via the Western Breach Wall.

His is scheduled to return to England on Tuesday Sept 15th to watch the UEFA champions league match between Chelsea and Porto and Stanford Bridge.
He is accompanied by amoungst other two of his bodyguards. Reports say Rivertree Inn was sealed off to the general public last night because of the prescence of Mr. Chelsea.
