Impunity has become the order of the day in this country, and if Kenyans of good will not do anything about this culture, things may spin out of control.

Much has been exposed pertaining Vivienne Yeda Apopo, Crook EADB Boss and there is no need to repeat because we may sound like a broken record.

The Kenyan media and magazines like Business Daily Africa have overseen the collapse of large enterprises like KQ, Uchumi, and even Mumias Sugar because Journalists like Wallace Kantai and TerryAnne Chebet preferred receiving bribes to lie about the health of these fallen companies. We believe one day they’ll for their sins.

Petitioners have filed a petition to the Inspector General of Companies Ms. Irene Mulyagonja asking her why she has refused to act even after the culture of impunity and abuse of office by Vivienne Yeda Apopo were brought to her attention. Was she bribed by Vivianne to look the other way?

The petitioners have also urged Ms. Irene Mulyagonja to launch investigations into the grave allegations that have been carried on this site and hold Apopo Account for the good of the bank.

The petitioners want Apopo to be fired and be held to account for abuse of office and other serious malpractices.

The petitioners could not identify themselves because most of them feared for their lives .

President-Uhuru-Kenyatta

Caption : President Uhuru Kenyatta who never listens to his people. Unlike Obama who spends many solitary hours responding to American Citizens, Uhuru prefers enjoying his blue label when free .Tell me of any Kenyan Uhuru has ever responded to directly yet we see myriad letters addressed to him directly.  Pathetic! 

Kenyans have been suffering since President Uhuru Kenyatta became president. Many businesses have closed down, and this is an actual reality.The economy has collapsed under his watch.Japanese scholars recently punched holes into Kenya economic growth model . It is easier to bribe World bank or IMF that is led by the corrupt Lagarde to sugarcoat realities

Every day, Kenyans do letters to President Uhuru Kenyatta, but these letters never reach him because his communication team blocks them. Unlike Obama who spends most of his time reflecting and reading letters and other complaints from American Citizens, Uhuru prefers enjoying his blue label.

President Kenyatta’s communication team is pathetic that a child Uhuru told to see him was blocked by Manoah Esipisu who is both incompetent and lacks effective communication skills.

Frustration from Kenyans is real. All promises Jubilee Regime made have expired. We will replay President Kenyatta’s campaign speeches Just for laughs.

Here is a Letter to the Most Incompetent President, Uhuru Kenyatta. As Usual, he will pretend he never saw it because he has never respected and never listens to his people.

Letter Starts

Hi Nyakundi, Please get a way to make this Letter reach President Uhuru Kenyatta

Am Charles Omwange, I stay and work in Kitale.I rightly don’t know who to address this letter to but if it is you, please take up this matter and come to my rescue and make it reach Mr President .
I lost my loving daughter in a road crash on 15/10/2010 at 7 AM on kitale-kapenguria highway. We did all we could to save her life, but she was unfortunately pronounced dead at Eldoret Teaching and referral hospital ICU bed after three days of painful struggle.

I filed a case in Kitale law courts after recording statements with my two other children as principal eyewitnesses hardly a month after burying my daughter at my Kisii farm.

Case No.25/2011 which ended in 7/31/2012. The judgment was delivered in my favor, but the defense council proceeded to the high court for appeal saying the award was too big. This is appeal case. No 30/2012 which proceeded till Nov last year when both sides submitted files were closed and judgment delivered on 15/2/2016 by Hon Githinji who gave them considerable percentage deduction.

I mean the case was ruled in their favor. We accepted the outcome but up to now, close to six months, the end has never come  Mr. President .We have never seen the awarded money Mr. President and I need your help. I am being represented by Gideon Barongo and company advocates-Kitale while Omaya and company advocates -Kisumu for the defense.

Now that we don’t see the end coming, I have asked my lawyer to execute, but he says my files are missing to enable him to do that.I have personally gone to the high court registry, and they told me they couldn’t see both my high and lower court files.

Dear Mr. President, for the last six years now, I have walked up and down the corridors of justice, but NO justice has been served to my daughter’s death. What is happening? What is going on?where are my files? If our Kitale court is not able to keep our files why can’t they Allow us to keep them in our homes so that we come with them to court when they are needed?

I filed a case to claim for both general and special damages for my daughters’ death, and I have all along spent a lot swings this case ending.The insurance company in question is “REAL” my lawyer doesn’t receive my calls nor respond to any of my text messages

Every time I go there, he requests me to wait. But Till when will I have to do the waiting? I have been told to file a case to a tribunal .but isn’t this too much Mr. President ? Where are the pressmen to highlight my suffering Mr. President? If you manage to read and willing to help, please come to my rescue.

Regards
Charles Omwange 0726967198.

Vivienne Yeda Apopo: Crook EADB Boss who wanted to be Central Bank of Kenya Governor.

EADB

Under-Siege: EABD Boss has been accused of corruption, abuse of office and culture of impunity. A petition seeking for her removal has already been submitted. Apopo once applied for CBK Governor Post. 

As things thicken for Yeda Apopo, this community site will be following up to know what’s happening as far as impunity and corruption at EADB are concerned.

After all is said and done, we will be judged by what we stood for when the country needed us.

According to the CBK Website

Vivienne Yeda Apopo was appointed a Non-Executive Director of the Board of the Central Bank of Kenya with effect from 14th March 2011. She holds an MBA from Edith Cowan University, Australia and Master of Laws (LLM) from University College London.

The CBK Site further states that Ms. Apopo is an experienced professional banker and international business lawyer with over 20 years practical and comprehensive development banking, finance and operational experience in Africa. Really?

Vivianne Apopo was among the ” Learned Technocrats ” that applied to replace Njuguna Ndungu as CBK Governor Cyprian Nyakundi can confirm. Why are the biggest scums of the earth attracted to such positions ? Your guess is as Good as mine.

But the recent accusations against Apopo have put her in an awkward position. Apopo has been accused of corruption,abuse of office, Intimidation, and bribery.

Worth to note that Vivianne Apopo the Crook EADB boss hired KPMG auditors to investigate who had leaked the dossier questioning her integrity and corrupt practices to us.

The question we ask today is ” Why has the CBK not commented on this issue ” Are they comfortable with Vivianne Apopo sitting as Non-Executive Director of the Board of the Central Bank of Kenya with all these serious allegations? No wonder many banks are collapsing as CBK watches.

We now ask the Priest-Turned-CBK Governor to tell Kenyans his position on the EADB issue.

Hacienda: How Business Journos Bribes From Leading Telco Didn’t Come Through

The stage is Hacienda Bar and Restaurant, located in the Ngara area of Nairobi, rumoured to be owned by a group of Kenyan Members of Parliament (MPigs), and an emerging ight-spot that is sending pricy Westlands clubs into oblivion.

In attendance were a selection of Kenya’s “finest” business journalists, all hailing from leading media houses like Nation Media Group’s Business Daily, Radio Africa’s Star, and the likes.

Contrary to journalistic ethos and competitive practices, these journalists despite being from competing media houses, share information, collaborate, conspire and share proceeds of crime. Reason why you will see near-identical journalistic pieces in different media outlets.

To add insult to injury, these journalists have a WhatsApp group, where they coordinate their moves, especially on high-level extortion of corporates.

Last night, the journalists were at Hacienda, drinking on the tab of a leading telecommunication company, whose CEO has recently been under the spotlight for marrying a previously-married woman. His love for sponsoring jazz at the expense of other meaningful social activities hs renowned.

The agenda of the drink-up at Hacienda was to plan how to cover a court-case between the owner of this blog Cyprian Nyakundi and the telecommunications firm. The editorial direction had to favour the Telco, and paint the blogger as a delusional individual, peddling fictional content, despite the presence of evidence.

Among those who attended were Philip Kamakya Star, Bernard Malonza People Daily, Brian Wasuna Nation/Business Daily. A journalist by the name of Paul Muhoho of became unruly after finding out that the money was not there. Which money?

By now you should all know that business journalists in Kenya are the most corrupt bastards in the country. They work at the behest of vested corporate interests to manipulate the markets and influence opinion.

For instance Knight Frank and Hass Consult, the foremost real-estate companies in Kenya bribe business journalists to run fake reports of the “booming” real estate sector, so as to allow them launder money on behalf of corrupt Government officials, drug-barons, Somali pirates and of course terrorists. Their proceeds of crime are integrated in the finance system making real estate seem successful, but it’s just dirty money being washed.

It’s the reason why real-estate prices in Kenya are higher than South Africa which has better roads, amenities, security and financial prospects. Simply because dumb business journalists agreed to be Bribed so as to compromise the prospects of an entire industry.

Back to Hacienda, the Business journalists were invited under the auspices of Caro Maina telephone number 0721 336210 working for The Star. A figure of Kshs. 15,000.00 had been agreed for each of the 15 journalists in attendance, but much to their disappointment, they were informed that they will only be able to receive the money on Monday.

As a bonus for their “good” work, the Business journalists were each given a power-bank.

There was also a blogger in attendance by the name of Sam Alfan Ndereba. Using his social-media outfit, he was supposed to influence other bloggers to embark on a hate campaign against Cyprian Nyakundi.

Links to Twitter Kenya were also discussed, and how they can use their people working at the Twitter office to influence hashtags, and “kill” hashtags deemed as critical to the telecommunications company. It is still unclear if the mother company of Twitter has sanctioned this manipulation of trending topics, even though speculation has been rife that they work closely with Government.

To the media house CEO’s who claim to be above reproach, they can independently confirm my claims.

Shame on you business journalists of Kenya. You retarded bastards are the reason this country is stagnating on every front.

Eat “Kuku Porno” At Your Own Risk

fuckkkkkkkkk

To the lovers of deep-fried chicken from Mc Fry’s or Nairobi Millenium, or even the other random Kenchic’s located in other parts of the country, beware.

Retail outlets are only keen on making money, meaning they careless about your welfare and health. They purchase chicken raised on anti-retroviral medicines plus human waste.

Since the public health departments in counties have sold their souls for the sake of money, fast-food restaurants especially in Nakuru, Kiambu and Thika are said to serve rat-meat to clients.

Because of a lack of traceability system for food, customers blindly led by hunger simple walk in and order food.

Sukuma Wiki and Spinach in Nairobi have been notorious for being grown in swampy areas, or sewage-depositories.

However a disturbing photo doing rounds in Nairobi, shows Chicken being prepared inside a toilet. The same chicken will end up in some middle-class Nairobian’s stomach.

We are running out of people to blame dear Kenyans. Time for you to use more logic and rationalisation, instead of being guided by emotions.

If you must eat chicken, go to your local and watch as it is slaughtered and prepared. This Kenchic model is slowly running out of time.

The Culture Of Impunity: PS Karanja Kibicho On The Spot For Contempt Of Court

Faced with the sad reality that Statehouse has acquired Robert Alai as their prized summer-signing for an undisclosed amount, Kenyans from all walks of life are turning to Cyprian Nyakundi to air their grievances and highlight injustices by corrupt Government officials and corporate bosses who bribe journalists to Polish their images.

The image of Robert Alai sandwiched between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Energy CS Charles Keter has haunted Jubilee 36 Bloggers like Abraham Mutai, Njeri Thorne, Betty Waitherero the sexually-frustrated feminist and wannabe-Somalian, Polycarp Hinga, Eric Kogi, Jane Kogi and others who have never gained the kind of proximity Alai has with President Uhuru Kenyatta. Many almost committed suicide after hearing that Uhuru telephones Alai directly. It seems Uhuru has changed tact and is moving away from bloggers who have made it a habit of insulting our intelligence all the while exploiting Uhuru for personal gain without adding any value like Machel Waikenda.

But however the happenings in the last one week gave currency to our previous articles indicating that Alai, Ory Okolloh and others are Statehouse operatives.

Ory-Okolloh-

Caption: Double-Agent Ory Okolloh that this Site has exposed in the recent past 

One such Government official is Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho, a man operating with the impunity of a Moi-era wanker. We want to ask President Uhuru Kenyatta to tell us who Karanja Kibicho thinks he is, because this bastard is operating as if he is a shareholder of Kenya. He is contravening court orders, issuing death-threats and purporting to have Uhuru’s blessings in his heinous activities.

Just recently, Meru High Court judge Francis Gikonyo ordered that police in Tharaka Nithi provide protection to lawyer Ashford Riungu, following death-threats he received from Karanja Kibicho. Dr Kibicho had raided a Chuka factory and destroyed liquor despite a court order barring them from doing so during the height of Uhuru’s misguided crackdown on cheap liquor which many suspect was instigated by East African Breweries Limited in a bid to stifle competition.

Mr Riungu, representing Hakim Commercial Agencies, had told the court he had been receiving death threats and he feared that he could be killed by Karanja Kibicho and criminal elements within and inside the Meru County Police Division.

Before the dust had settled on that story, Karanja Kibicho who says he works under the sole discretion of President Uhuru Kenyatta, is in the news again, this time contravening a court-order barring the transfer of 4 officers from the Sagana Police Station.

In documents sent to us, Karanja Kibicho met 4 offices along the Makutano-Sagana highway, where he harassed them, wrote down their force-numbers and ordered their immediate transfers contrary to the Constitution. Ordinarily we don’t like helping police officers because the same scumbags will be sent to arrest bloggers, but on this case, we have a mutual interest in exposing this clown called Karanja Kibicho who works with Joseph Nkaissery, a man that has been linked with Chinese fugitive Wenjie Li.

The 4 policemen filed a case at the Labour Division of the Milimani High Court, who ordered that their transfer be revoked and status-quo maintained pending the hearing and determination of their case.

A second order was even issued on 12th of July 2016 which the National Police Service still doesn’t recognise, as the impression they want to give the judiciary is that they are above the law and can flagrantly be in contempt of court-orders without being taken anywhere.

Hereby attached is the court-order/s that Karanja Kibicho is in contempt of and he should be arrested and charged like other Kenyans since he is just a mere appointee, not even a constitutional office-holder.

KQ Theft: How Did Ronald Karauri Acquire Money To Buy Sport Pesa Shares?

Caption: Scum of the earth and Sportpesa CEO Ronald Karauri

Behind every story of wealth, is a great crime and the unfolding scenario where a Kenyan startup by the name of Sport Pesa is throwing wards of cash to foreign clubs, has left everyone baffled. Do Kenyans bet that much? How did this happen in the first place?

Concerns have been raised about the product placement, advertising and regulations regarding the conduct and how such companies market themselves. Sport Pesa isn’t a phenomenon, neither is it an invention that Kenya is exporting abroad. It is a gambling addiction that has unfortunately been framed as an economic activity.

To date, Sport Pesa maintains a close partnership with the Sports Journalists Association of Kenya (SJAK) where leading sports journalists are “sponsored” on trips to England, put on a monthly retainer and showered with gifts and cash-incentives to ensure that the brand name remains on mainstream media wires. That alone constitutes a grave and flagrant abuse of media ethics in the country, even as the toothless Media Council of Kenya remains silent.

It is still unclear why despite obvious harmful consequences of betting leading to addiction and mental illness, Sport Pesa and other betting companies are still being allowed to advertise on prime-time TV capturing the dumb and redundant 8-4-4 educated lot of Kenyans, who believe everything they see in the mainstream media. Using adverts portraying betting as an economic activity, Sport Pesa endeared itself to the masse, baiting them using narratives creating the picture of wealth from wins.

Their entry to Europe has brought renewed interest in their company, with them being forced to reveal financial details about their company, plus for the first time, going public about the structure of their shareholding.

Caption : Sportpesa Shareholding 

While we have previosly captured the Bulgarian side, quoting Bulgarian media depicting a shareholder as a ring-leader for the Bulgarian mob, what caught our attention was the substantial 7% shareholding by Roland Karauri the CEO of Sport Pesa.

As a young pilot in his early 40’s, former Mangu High School alumni, just how did Karauri land such cash to be able to invest in this startup? He was previously a pilot and we all know what pilots earn and it isn’t substantial enough to own a stake in the billion-shilling raking Sport Pesa.

So what was the source of Ronald Karauri’s money?

What many may not be able to connect is the fact that Ronald Karauri also doubled-up as the Secretary General of the Kenya Airline Pilots Association (KALPA) during the same period that the thief of Maasai origin Titus Naikuni plundered the National carrier Kenya Airways to its death-bed. Using proceeds from his theft, Naikuni purchased the Ole Sereni Hotel right adjacent to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, meaning that an entire airline and many jobs have been lost so as to acquire a mere hotel.

During the period of massive graft and endemic looting by Titus Naikuni, there was defeating silence by the then office-bearers of KALPA, even as Kenya Airways embarked on massive retrenchment of cabin-crew and overseeing a so-called staff rationalisation program. KALPA under Karauri was also strangely silent when Naikuni embarked on a fuel-hedging program that depleted the coffers of the once glorious airline. KALPA remained silent when Titus Naikuni embarked on an aircraft leasing scheme for high-maintenance Embraers, many of which lied idle at what is referred to in aviation-circles as the “graveyard”.

The silence wasn’t by coincidence. Ronald Karauri had been Bribed massively by Titus Naikuni to go silent in the midst of corruption and looting in Kenya Airways. Karauri endorsed the mass retrenchments and kept quiet even as the airline posting loss after loss. He was basically Titus Naikuni’s henchman in KALPA which should have been the first to signal everyone that all wasn’t well.

So basically Sport Pesa is a company borne out of the proceeds of crime, just as MCheza is a vehicle for the Gichuru’s to launder money that Samuel Gichuru looted during his stint as the Kenya Power and Lighting Company MD.

These are not companies that should be celebrated, and neither should they be referenced as a parameter portraying Kenya’s growth. The money to start-up these companies isnt exactly Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) but simply Proceeds of Crime (POC).

Business journalists and sports scribes should cease henceforth depicting betting as an economic activity driving the development agenda.

The Burden Of Swazuri’s Greed Is Too Much For Kenya To Bear: He Must Be Jailed Now!

$

swazuriCAPTION: Muhammad Swazuri. Like his counterpart at EACC Philip Kinisu, Swazuri is the most corrupt fucker in Kenya. A firing squad should publicly execute These two Constitutional office-holders or lynched by ordinary Kenyans.

Muhammad Swazuri, the chairman of the National Land Commission (NLC) is apparently the most corrupt head of a constitutional commission, followed closely by Philip Kinisu whom we have recently discovered has been doing deals with the scandal-riddled National Youth Service (NYS).

Swazuri’s first ever national limelight expose was during the recent USIU land scandal, where together with a network of operatives and middlemen, he produced a fake title-deed for land that former President Daniel arap Moi had already sold to the United State International University.

Swazuri runs a scheme of producing fake title deeds for unclaimed land and using his network of thugs, sells it to unsuspecting victims who have been triggered into mass panic-buying of land by fake reports written by lead real-estate companies like Hass Consult and Knight Frank. We recently called on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate both Hass and Knight, for laundering proceeds of crime and especially money linked to Somali pirates and Al-Qaeda linked-terrorists, whose dirty money has seen the price of real-estate and rents rise abnormally, going against all market dynamics and economic fundamentals.

Muhammad Swazuri is the godfather of a cartel working in the lands ministry, whose work is to moonlight, scouring through records and earmarking land to steal. His meddling has been felt in the coast province where he has refused to renew many land leases by ranchers and in many instances demanded crazy bribes in-order to do his job.

Being a constitutional office-holder, Swazuri works with the confidence that President Uhuru Kenyatta is a sitting duck who cannot take him anywhere. His defense line solely lies in bribing journalists, select Members of Parliament (MPigs) and other organs of Government.

And true to it, President Uhuru Kenyatta is a sitting duck whose office has been reduced to arresting bloggers and not people like Swazuri who compromise investment and have made Kenya lose its global appeal and competitiveness as an ideal location for investment. Land scandals have deterred many foreign investors to shy away from Kenya, and relocate to neighbouring Ethiopia.

And since President Uhuru Kenyatta is a sitting duck who only quacks and flexes muscles when his police officers are arresting bloggers who have committed no crime, shall we as Kenyans continue allowing Muhammad Swazuri compromise our country’s long-term interests?

Swazuri has been strangely very keen on the Taj Mall case, where he has been shifting goal-posts at every turn, probably seeking different ways of extorting the owners of the building.

tajjmallCAPTION: News-piece shows Swazuri’s suspicious obsession with Taj Mall and the land in the Embakasi area. 

 It has also emerged that Swazuri who has married four (4) different wives has developed a very strange interest in the Mombasa Road/Embakasi area as he has dispatched middlemen to scout actively for land.

The two known agents of Muhammad Swazuri scouting for land on Mombasa Road are Simon Nyamanya Ondiba and Mary Namanya who together with the Officer Commanding Police Division of Embakasi a Mr. Onyonyi, we’re pursuing a parcel of land located on Mombasa Road, LR 209/11293/1/2 which has been owned by one individual for over 25 years.

recordCAPTION: Records at the lands ministry reveal the identities of agents of Muhammad Swazuri who are said to be husband and wife Simon Namanya Ondiba and Mary Namanya. The two reside in Kahawa West.
Over the last few months, Swazuri has dispatched his two proxies to pursue the plot of land, and written a letter to the OCPD of Embakasi to make sure that they are accorded security in their bid to grab the parcel of land along Mombasa Road, next to Power Technics.
policeCAPTION: Letter from Muhammad Swazuri to Embakasi OCPD, asking for his assistance to enable grabbers named above, move into a property that he has been eyeing for many years since getting into office.

 Indeed, there was a suspicious chemistry between Muhammad Swazuri and the OCPD of Embakasi Onyonyi, prompting an internal investigation by Vigilance House. The matter saw Onyonyi transferred from Embakasi to Marakwet recently, further confirming that Swazuri has been working directly with officers to intimidate land owners and grab their properties with the impunity of a Moi-era thief.

It is our humble proposal that any future engagement between the National Land Commission and the National Police Service must be through the office of Inspector General Julius Boinnet, and not directly to OCPD’s because Boinnet’s juniors may be abusing the new constitution to engage with thieves like Swazuri for personal gain.

It has also emerged that Muhammad Swazuri has been working alone, and doesn’t share some of the details of his unscrupulous activities with fellow commissioners, who are always in the dark and come to learn of controversies via the media.

The mainstream media journalists, who we have widely covered as being scumbags that compromise national interests for the sake of a few coins in their quest to portray thieves like Swazuri as saints, together with their editors are said to be on the payroll of Swazuri to portray him as acting on behalf of the Constitution, while in real sense he is looking for land to distribute to his 4 wives and many children.

First and foremost, why should innocent Kenyans suffer because of someone’s stupidity of marrying 4 wives? Why should people be victimised and their land grabbed so that Swazuri can fend for the mouths of his many wives and children?

ed1 ed2CAPTION: Letters showing suspicious communication between Muhammad Swazuri and the Embakasi Police Division. This should end immediately. All letters must henceforth be routed via the office of the Inspector General who will then issue commands to his juniors.

FROM THE MOSQUE TO THE HUB: The Most Inspiring Story You’ll Read This Week

hub

In Kenya, the breed of immigrants has been quite diverse. We have had Chinese Crooks like Wenjie Li who together with other associates opened a Chinese restaurants that barred locals.

However we stumbled on this amazing story of perseverance, commitment and focus, from the niche outlet known as Afghan House, that has grown from a home-delivery outfit, into now a proper outlet soon to be opening at The Hub, Karen.

Started by a couple, it is an inspiration to all Kenyan women who need it imprinted in their brains that life isn’t a walk in the park. You have to partner with your husband and work towards success. There’s no shortcut. All the sponsors in the world cannot buy the kind of joy and happiness that the woman who wrote this story has by now.

And while there might be many success stories out there that we may have not covered, we do believe that this one is deserving and concurrent with our messaging.

Enjoy!

As we are days away from our opening inshAllah,we were reflecting on how Afghan house started.
We were new in the country with no job prospects so we decided to start making and selling food at our local masjid (mosque), we were using our tiny kitchen and a small oven and ingredients we had at home. We started by taking food during the Friday prayers but people just walked past it, it was difficult returning home with all the food without selling any. Although it was disheartening we decided to keep trying, we saw a niche in the market for baklava and Afghan food so we decided to start marketing it online. Within the first few hours of our post we had a customer, then two. It was exciting and we were delivering in our car with two kids in the back. Initially our baklava was not satisfactory, so we tried a different type and that was an instant hit with all those who tried!

Purdy Arms (restaurant in Karen) was a good platform for us as people were reluctant to spend money on a homemade product and they didn’t know if it was worth it, we got a chance to offer tasters and it was amazing to see the response; people loved it, slowly the word was spreading alhamdulilah!

We decided to try adding food to our menu too.
We started with one or two orders here and there but people were enjoying it, so once again we advertised it on a group and suddenly we were inundated with orders, I still remember the day!
My husband was cooking, I was cooking, I had a baby in a sling on the side while I cooked and the other one sitting next to me, it was crazy, it was hectic, orders got mixed up, orders were delayed, Lol! It was very crazy! It continued like that for a week, no man power a small kitchen and small children and it was hard but we persevered. Our main problem were the riders, the food would leave here (after struggling) and they would delay it, or get lost or spill it. We still didn’t give up!

Slowly we were getting the hang of things, my husband was able to hire someone to help as I couldn’t do it with the kids, he was getting more organized, we bought a bigger oven and finally moved to a kitchen we had made outside our small apartment. Things were looking better!

We started selling at events, doing small catering events and takeaways; the response was amazing and people were receiving the food well, we were getting good reviews and through word of mouth people were getting to know Afghan house, it was slowly growing. The rest is history, through marketing and trying to make sure our customers were satisfied we established ourselves.

It’s amazing to look back to when we planted a seed and seeing it growing through our hardwork, effort and prayers is just beyond our wildest imagination!

Our main thanks is to Allah az wajjal! He helped us when we were at our lowest and He saw our suffering, our struggle and sacrifice! Only He knows what we have been through, how we have had sleepless nights, stress, almost gave up, turned down and put down. He helped us through it all alhamdulilah ya rabb !

We pray our new venture does well, we thank all those who have supported us in our journey, all our customers who referred us, who believed in us, who encouraged and supported us ! Thank you everyone we aren’t part of a big cooperation, nor trained chefs we just enjoy cooking and it’s great to see people enjoy it.

We hope you will continue supporting us as we start this new chapter and that we will see you all The Hub Karen.

Thank you for reading!

Cheapskates: CEO Of Leading Telco Bribed Editors with 5K And A Powerbank

Hotel_B592012115719

CAPTION: The Intercontinental Hotel Nairobi, where a CEO of a Telco hosted editors and Bribed them with airtime and a power-bank. 

Citizens of Kenya were shocked to discover that over the past weekend, court-scribes who also double-up as business journalists of mainstream media houses were convened at Hacienda Sports Bar and Grill in Ngara, ostensibly to plan on a media strategy involving a case between the CEO and the owner of this blog Cyprian Nyakundi.

The CEO, an immigrant from a far-flung nation prides himself in sponsoring small jazz events, yet a recent start-up called Sport Pesa has made an impact in the country by sponsoring sports and even expanding out of Kenya.

The pompous CEO prefers to sponsor events where he has a stake, or where he is guaranteed of a kickback, normally 10% of the contract-value. Which is quite baffling because this company is the highest-earning, but supports sports the least, simply because of a larger-than-life CEO who wants to meddle in the political affairs of the entities he purports to support.

Court-scribes and Business journalists it turns out could have been given a better bribe package than the cheapskate editors at mainstream media houses, including print, television and radio stations. In a deal negotiated by the Secretary of the Court Scribes Association Carol Maina, each journalist was supposed to get a cash fee of Kshs. 15,000.00 for tilting public in favour of the Telco and portraying Nyakundi as a purveyor of lies and delusions.

Turns out that Carol Maina telephone number 0721-336-210 working for The Star is a good negotiator, and props should be given to her because it has also emerged that editors were summoned by the same CEO at InterContinental Hotel Nairobi last Friday 29th July 2016 for lunch. During the meeting the CEO  threatened to sue any media house that portrayed him in negative.

He also said categorically that he will deny advertising revenue to any media house that mentions him adversely with regards to scandals highlighted by the same blogger. The CEO recently came under fire for corruption and extortion after an audit revealed massive discrepancies and irregularities in tendering and asset-acquisition, credible enough to send the Finance Director packing.

The CEO can feel the pressure building up as Kenyans no longer hold him in awe as they did a year ago. We would like to take credit for debunking any myths surrounding this character, and glad that we exposed him for the impostor that he is, intimidating mediocre journalists and editors using the purse-strings of a public company.

The editors were Bribed with Kshs. 5,000.00 airtime, and a Powerbank after being lectured like kids and eating lunch purchased by the CEO. That’s how cheap editors in Kenya have become. A rotten media-corps whose only work is to cheer-lead and cleanse the images of crooks in the country.

These editors are people with families and children, plus younger journalists who look up to them as role-models. But when they see their seniors getting bribes in the form of bribes, they become even more disillusioned. It’s disheartening that none of the editors turned down the power-bank and airtime out of principle.
Is this what they want their children to turn into? Do those editors want their daughters turning into commercial sex workers who sell themselves for financial-recompense? Because that is simply how they are also operating, selling their careers for a few coins.

Shame on the editors who attended the meeting with the CEO of the corrupt Telco. Shame on you for disrespecting all journalistic ethics. Shame on you for setting a bad example to those younger than you. You’re all just pieces of shit who should resign and pave way for individuals with pride and morals to occupy your positions.

Again, we challenge the CEO’s of the struggling media houses to verify if my claims are false.

The widow of the late former Juja MP, Chief Whip and Uhuru Kenyatta strongman George Thuo was in court in connection to a tender scandal involving the Kenya Pipeline Company Limited.

This website has consistently covered corruption involving KPC, which has emerged as a cash-cow for Jubilee individuals who engage in unscrupulous projects and purchases, all with the sole aim of plundering it’s coffers.

Today, the suspended MD of KPC Charles Tanui was absent in court, alleging abrupt illness, even though Judy Thuo representing Redline Limited was present in court.

CAPTION: Court adjournment of a case involving after the suspended KPC MD Charles Tanui faked abrupt illness.
You will all remember a massive scandal by a bogus company called Thermo-Dynamic, located in the backstreets of Nairobi, that was illegally awarded a tender of over Kshs. 1 Billion, that we covered widely on this blog.

It is alleged that KPC procured auto-transformers from Redline which were never delivered but payment effected. One payment was made in form of land valued at close to Kshs. 1 Billion located in Nairobi around the Chiromo area.George Thuo passed away in November of 2013 after developing a sudden disease while drinking with friends at a local pub in Thika. A few people had been arrested in connection to his death, suspected of poisoning him.

Many claim that he was a victim of the chop due to links with the ICC cases, while others claim that his wife staged it, because disloyal Kikuyu women are famous for murdering their husbands and diverting the wealth to their side of the family. Many other claim he was murdered due to his perceived interest in being the next Governor of Kiambu County.

The Fertilizer Scam: Yet Another Reason To Never Trust PR-President Uhuru Kenyatta

$

ruto

Since 1979, Kenya has paid billions of dollars allocated every financial year for a non-existent fertilizer factory by the name of Ken-Ren, a move which if had been seen to its logical conclusion, would have made Kenya self-reliant on fertilizer, and perhaps a regional exporter of the same commodity.

But the stupidity from the Kenyatta, to the Moi, to the Kibaki and now to the Uhuru regimes is now rife more than ever. Long-term prospects of the country are being compromised by myopic, hopelessly visionless and greedy imbeciles working for Uhuru, whose main objective is to loot money so as to build flats and malls in a bid to “secure” a bright future for their children.

All the money that is being stolen by Jubilee officials is being routed through real-estate agencies such as Knight Frank, Hass Consult and Cytonn Investments who have until recently been active in releasing fake reports about the viability of kenya’s housing/land sectors, showing it as the most promising and prospective investment in the country.

The reports are then dispatched to the public via a barrage of Bribed mainstream media journalists who hype land/real-estate as the only investment worth returns. Reality is that the average property in Kenya and Nairobi in particular has a valuation premium in excess of 30%. A price correction or crash will happen at some point and it shall be very painful.
A mortgage of Kshs. 15 Million has monthly repayments of about 200k over 15 years at 16% interest! What it can buy you, can’t fetch half of that in rent a month. Clearly a very poor investment choice.

Because in Kenya, people especially the 8-4-4 educated lot don’t use their thick heads to analyse situations. They simply go with euphoria. For instance, why do individuals buy rural land at for instance Thika Greens or Property Reality Inc., projects in Namanga, Nanyuki, etc at the Nairobi prices? Just because Maina Kageni told you so? Yenyewe middle-class Kenyans are real pieces of shit. You’re all such a bunch of idiots, easily manipulated by corrupt mainstream media journalists.

For instance, the Jubilee machinery is preparing to hype an Eldorent fertilizer manufacturing plant. Read deeper and realise that there’s no manufacturing involved. It will be a blending factory that will unfortunately put players/importers like MEA Fertilizers and Tropical Farm Management out of business.

How viable is the Eldoret fertilizer manufacturing (blending) plant under construction? This week the President is due to officially open and launch the Eldoret fertilizer blending plant (that is being fronted as a manufacturing plant by Jubilee).

This follows the completion of the construction of the US$ 1.2 Billion fertilizer manufacturing plant at Eldoret. The project was initiated when the Kenya government invited bids to carry out a feasibility study on the potential to set up such a plant in either in the country or within the region to manufacture fertilizer and NOT TO BLEND already imported manufactured fertilizer.

ruto

Caption: Deputy President William Ruto at the launch of the “fertilizer factory” project last September. The project is a white elephant project that will be used to loot poor Kenyans money.

Through the ministry of Agriculture, the Government wanted to establish whether it is commercially viable to set up a fertilizer manufacturing plant in Kenya (which is currently the largest fertilizer market in the region) while the raw materials are in found in large quantities in Tanzania and Uganda due to the availability of confirmed oil and natural gas deposits. The study was to establish the quantities of basic raw materials available and their locations. In addition, the study was also to proof the sustainability of the plant as well as its costs in terms of infrastructure and support services. The study was further expected come up with the proposed types of fertilizers to be manufactured and their prices as price was taken as the main constraint to the attainment of food security in the country.

However, the plant will not completely solve the problem unless we address where the core costs are coming from. The problem leading to high fertilizer prices for the farmer in the country is what the plant feasibility study was to investigate and address once the feasibility study was through. The Kenyan fertilizer industry that includes fertilizer pricing and marketing was liberalized in1990. The rapid devaluation of the shilling had resulted in high domestic prices of fertilizers. The average price of a government subsidized 50-kilogramme bag of fertilizer was Ksh. 2,000. With the market one going at ksh 4,500 and consumption is about 600,000 metric tonnes annually.

The raw materials for manufacturing fertilizers include Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium. However, Kenya is not endowed with raw materials for fertilizer manufacture except material such as limestone and soapstone. It is believed that there are Rock Phosphate deposits at Rangwe hills, Mrima Hills and Busia. We do not know what quantities for purposes of manufacture the feasibility study ascertained. In this connection, five aspects of the fertilizer plant were to be examined and analyzed:

(i) The amount of capital investment required to bring the fertilizer plant into operation

(ii) The probable operating costs or working capital requirements of the fertilizer plant

(iii) The sources and level of revenue likely to be generated by the fertilizer plant,

(iv) Financial analysis to gauge the prospective profitability and viability of the fertilizer plant

(v) Funding arrangements and mode of design, construction, operation and maintenance of the plant and finally, whether it was to be constructed using European Union fertilizer Manufacturers Association’s Best Available Technologies.

After the Feasibility study report was out, an independent appraisal by a different consultant of the feasibility study report was to be undertaken to interrogate the report and establish its correctness and viability. Similarly, the project ought to have been implemented at least as a regional plant for fertilizer markets in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Southern Sudan, Burundi, DRC and Rwanda as the Kenyan market is too small for any viable fertilizer plant.

Currently, Kenya imports virtually all its fertilizers except about 10,000 tonnes fertilizer per annum of single superphosphate (SSP/TSP) manufactured using sulphuric acid at the KEL chemicals Limited factory based at Thika district and MEA Ltd, based in Nakuru which imports manufactured fertilizers and blends them into various NPK grades. The main key raw material and intermediates that go into the manufacture of one or more of the above fertilizer products and which are internationally traded include phosphate rock sculpture, natural gas or naphtha, liquefied natural gas (LNG), heavy fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), anhydrous ammonia (NH3), sulphuric acid, and wet process phosphoric acid. Natural gas, heavy fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are important alternative feedstocks for anhydrous ammonia (NH3). NH3 in turn is the basic ingredient for products such as AS, AN, CAN and DAP while phosphate rock, sulphur, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid are essential materials for phosphate products such as TSP and DAP Thus for any country or a region that would like to produce its own fertilizers, the alternative approaches to developing an indigenous fertilizer factory depends on whether it has one or more of the above raw materials within its borders as summarized below:

(i) Natural gas or naphtha (from indigenous oil refineries) with coal and lignite omittedas from consideration as raw materials because of the high cost of ammonia produced from them

(ii) Phosphate rock

(iii) Potash minerals

(iv) Sulphur (in one form or another)

(v) Cheap plentiful supply of electric power

(vi) Cheap plentiful supply of water

Kenya is not known to have to have any of these four raw materials and surplus cheap electricity, thus denying us the opportunities of establishing a low cost fertilizer manufacturing plant in the country. The industry experts have never been presented with the feasibility study report and the independent appraisal of the feasibility to know the parameters used for establishment of the plant in Eldoret. Worse still, is that there are many types of fertilizers used in Kenya. And is not known the type to be manufactured by the Eldoret plant. Will it be another white elephant?

Moreover, it not a fertilizer manufacturing plant but a blending plant where the same fertilizers are imported and blended. The worst mistake is that the Jubilee government has now totally killed the private sector fertilizer industry in the country, with many players becoming paupers. Which of the fertilizers used in Kenya shall be manufactured by the Eldoret plant?

James Mwangi: The Glorified Piece Of Shit In Kenya’s Banking Sector

CAPTION: James Mwangi. As the saying goes, “the best way to rob a bank is to own one.” 

Before you sanctimonious, self-righteous lot begin whining about my language, you need to get it in your thick heads that what your definition of “foul” language is, cannot be equated the crimes in question. Because religion was embedded in your shitty 8-4-4 curriculum, your mediocre Kilimambogo Teacher College-trained teachers conditioned you to ignore the message, and pay more focus on grammar and semantics. It’s the reason why a woman who was a perennial victim of domestic violence, was easily duped by her pastor to stay at home and pray for her marriage. The husband later chopped-off hands.

pastor

Why would you let a pastor advise you on anything dear Kenyans? Which pastors, the ones who con people on television? The ones who host Uhuru and Ruto in their churches in-order to extort money in form of harambee’s? Kenyans grow up! This obsession with religion will do you more harm than good. Focus on your personal faith, but don’t Base it on a church or pastor. Pastors are just a bunch of extortionists.

As a commentator said today, Kenyans are generally poor in analysis. That is why they are easy to cheat. They are allergic to anything expressed numerically. For example basic things like to buy or to hire are like rocket-science to them. Anyone who can manipulate figures, show something can be profitable, can easily take advantage of an average Kenyan. Besides real estate we have pyramid schemes. The Top 20 technologically advanced economies in the world happen to be the top leaders in Maths. With our National mean-grade being E since independence, you can guess why many people cannot use their brains in Kenya, preferring to Base important decisions like buying land on hype and euphoria instead of logic and rationalisation.

Again dear 8-4-4 educated Kenyans, we have to stop this over-reliance on news by mainstream media journalists and editors. We will not tire from saying that Daystar University which is Kenya’s leading conveyor-belt of mediocrity, in the form of half-baked graduates, must be shut down due to its harmful impact in society.

For instance, mainstream media has worked overdrive portraying James Mwangi as some sort-of Muhammed Yunis of sorts, yet he is just an ordinary thief from Muranga who once collapsed Trade Bank Limited, that was located at the current EACC Headquarters in Kilimani.

Allegations of sexual harassment by Esther Passaris against James Mwangi cannot be taken lightly. If we condemned Koffi Olomide for kicking one of his band members, yet the victim was not even Kenyan, then why should we allow James Mwangi to get away with the act of sexually harassing Esther Passaris? If James Mwangi has the guts to harass a financially independent and confident woman like Esther, what of the helpless ladies that work in Equity Bank? The duplicity of our morals and hypocrisy is nauseating, to say the least.

Why must you Kenyans have institutionalised-fear of someone simply because they have been immortalised by a corrupt media set-up? Todate, James Mwangi has not even bothered to respond to allegations of sexually-harassing Esther Passaris, and we give him an ultimatum until Friday to either respond, or resign (or both), failure to which we will crowd-source and air Esther Passaris’s grievances to MasterCard and Visa, asking them to terminate their partnerships with a company whose CEO has actively been linked to corruption and sexual harassment.

You really don’t want to try me Mr. James Mwangi. Respond and apologise to Esther asap.

We also covered how Equity Bank has been operating with impunity. First and foremost, Equity Bank directors simply moonlight waiting to illegally acquire property from clients who become unable to complete loans. Directors instigate the quick recovery and auctioning, in collusion with auctioneers. Case in point is Equity Bank Chairman Peter Munga’s acquisition of Pioneer School in Maragua. Munga is a thief who should be behind bars for this practice.

Secondly, we linked conflict-of-interest in the way Equity Bank operates. For instance, a director Stanley Muchoki was paid rents for 25 years by Equity Bank for his property at Nairobi West shopping center, enabling him to build Summerdale Hotel which shares the same premises as Equity’s Nairobi West branch.

We also mentioned Equity Bank’s link to Julius Kipngetich, another “celebrity” CEO who thrives on bribing Business journalists like Wallace Kantai and Terryanne Chebet so as to always appear on the news telling us fuck-all, pretending and masquerading as the best brains in the country, yet together with James Mwangi, want to transfer the ownership of Uchumi to Equity Bank.

If not checked, the greed of James Mwangi and Peter Munga will bring down Equity Bank and a large portion of this economy that banks with them. Term limits should be enforced because Mwangi and Munga have stayed at Equity Bank for long, and traded with customer’s money for personal gain and contrary to all written banking rules and guidelines.

Ever heard of ESOP? Employee Share Ownership Plans? Companies sell their own shares at ‘discounted’ prices to staff. The shares are to be held for a specific period before they are available for sale at Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE). The staff must remain in employment during those years. Should they leave before, they are reimbursed their investment at cost. If you bought for instance Kshs. 100,000.00 worth of shares, you get that as your refund.

Equity Bank has such schemes maturing every 5yrs. In this case, the staff were FORCED to buy the shares. One staffer was dismissed for resisting. She went to court and won 10 months salary as a result, a ruling that was passed in July 2015 with the judge also ruling that costs of the lawsuit be paid by Equity.

When I read the ruling, I was baffled by the low salaries Equity pays it’s bankers despite raping the Kenyan economy as they did during the Safaricom IPO where they lent money against shares, where they charged an exorbitant interest even after clients didn’t get the allocations they had hoped for.

We take this opportunity to encourage Kenyans not to suffer in silence. Send us details of your frustrations so that we can open up these corporates which have for long thrived on duping the public through bribing journalists.

Hereby attached is the court ruling that found Equity Bank guilty of unlawful termination and by extension, trying to coerce a staff member into taking up stock-options.

#JamesMwangiTheSexPest Esther Passaris’s Horrible Encounter With Equity Bank CEO

equity_ceo_mwangi-web

Caption: Equity’s James Mwangi who is now under the spotlight for sexually harassing Esther Passaris. Mwangi has refused to clear his name, hpoing things will cool down and he will go on with his impunity. 

Of late, we have trained our guns on Equity Bank, due to their constant flouting of Central Bank rules, the existing conflict of interest by directors of the financial institution, staff grievances, fraud and general corporate malaise masked under the guise of Good Governance by Bribed mainstream media journalists.

In our deep analysis, we have concluded that Kenya has been wrecked by journalists who are Bribed by vested interests, predominantly corporate thieves who seek to condition masses into buying whatever flawed concepts or products they may wish to dupe the general public with.

We have unsuccessfully petitioned the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to zero in on three real-estate companies; Hass Consult, Knight Frank and Cytonn Investments, firms that dispense fake industry prospective in a bid to trigger a run on the real-estate/housing/land sector, enabling them clean money that has been illegally acquired and laundered in real-estate.

Key pointers to the FBI are that Kenya has abnormally the highest real-estate/rent prices in Africa, despite the obvious fact that the country is lacking in infrastructure, roads, railways, unreliable power and water, insecurity and the likes. To put it bluntly, Kenya is a shit-hole to be attracting these crazy prices we are seeing today.

By bribing Business journalists (a matter that can be easily verified), the three companies have been able to serve their high-end clients consisting predominantly of Government officials, to hide and launder their money. We are convinced that the same companies may have in their greed and pursuit for market dominance, encountered and laundered money from Somali pirates and Al-Qaeda terrorists.

It’s the only logical explanation that can explain the high land/rent prices in Kenya, because our inept Government is unable to curb illegal inflows of money, thus allowing real-estate companies to run amok, bribe journalists and trigger runs on land. To the FBI officials, you need to probe every director and proxy-client at Hass Consult, Knight Frank and Cytonn Investments. You will definitely find an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist therein, laundering their proceeds of crime in the Kenyan financial system. A travel embargo needs to be effected on directors of the 3 firms, because their fake reports distributed via Bribed mainstream media journalists were serving a purpose; washing and earning a return on “equity” being dirty money or proceeds of crime.

The Kenyan security agencies should also move swiftly and arrest Business journalists who cover these bogus real-estate reports by Hass Consult, Knight Frank and Cytonn Investments, because they are accessories in money-laundering. They need to know the veracity of their bullshit, and be alive to the fact that they could have been working indirectly for terrorists and pirates. Journalists like Wallace Kantai and Terryanne Chebet should be taken in for questioning to explain why they compromise national interests on behalf of questionable firms.

Bloggers are arrested everyday to shed more light on articles they run, so it should be a problem if Kenyan Business Journalists are rounded up to explain why they have been hyping reports done by companies laundering terror-funds. It’s all one chain.

Today, we are launching a concerted campaign against Equity Bank’s CEO Dr. James Mwangi, who has been accused of sexual harassment in a bid to take over the successful Adopt-A-Light company owned by Esther Muthoni Passaris. Indeed, we have previously covered prior to Passaris’s claims, the cowboy nature with which Equity Bank directors acquire properties lodged in the bank as security or collateral for loans.

Pioneer School in Maragua owned by Equity Chairman Peter Munga was owned by a customer who was unable to complete his loan. And surprise-surprise, Munga dispatched auctioneers to forcefully acquire the property. Munga’s son died after jumping out of the balcony of Black Diamond in Westlands, which must have been karma due to what the dad has done to people over the years.

The move by MPs to put a cap on bank interest rates is to be welcomed. I believe that price is best left to be determined by demand and supply.
That assumption rests on the ability of those concerned – especially busineses- to act with decorum-something most Kenyan banks have done very very badly. Greed became a core value and strength for many of local banks, like Equity. The conduct by some especially the rip-off interest rates have decimated many businesses and ruined families. Some banks like Equity are essentially legitimized criminal cartels; gangsters in suits and ties!

What makes credit so expensive in Kenya as to attract rates approaching 20%-among the highest in the world? Why should their incompetence, greed and failure to innovate be paid for by their clients? How and why does a bank charge you for keeping money with them which they deduct every month below a certain threshold-while they happily lend on at exorbitant rates?

Our banks are not alone. When UK banks were found to have acted dishonestly; including unfairly calling on loans from viable businesses, they were fined billions and laws enacted to curb their errant and criminal acts. Ofcourse the Kenya bankers lobby group said the move by MPs would be a disaster to the economy. It’s not I am afraid. If banks can’t work within the new law, others will see a gap and use it well. Crowdfunding and lending circles are thriving outside mainstream banking.

It’s time to call out Dr. James Mwangi and the retarded Peter Munga, who used customer-deposits to build the Enashipai Resort in Naivasha. Enashipai is the place where Kiprono Kittony held his 50th birthday last year, where diplomats like former British High Commissioner Christian Turner and a notorious CEO of a large Telco were in attendance. They were there celebrating and endorsing corruption. Munga is now planning to use customer-deposits to acquire Britam. Clearly the death of his son hasn’t taught him anything; the greed and primitive-acquisition continues.

So when Esther Passaris said in post that Dr. James Mwangi tried to do a hostile takeover the on her business using sexual coercion and dangling a credit facility, we believe it 100%. We ask all to use the hashtag. #JamesMwangiTheSexPest and tag companies that trade with Equity like Mastercard, Visa and the likes. Let’s crowd-source our frustrations and see if Mwangi can continue ignoring these claims.

Read her story here below:

This is the story of how Equity Bank CEO James Mwangi destroyed my business after ‪#‎ISaidNo‬. In 2006, I met Mwangi through a mutual friend and he soon agreed to bring his organization on board the Adopt A Light project by sponsoring and running an advertising campaign for the bank on 400 streetlight poles as well as High Mast structures. In fact, this act of corporate social responsibility is captured in their company records.

The campaign was supposed to be rolled out on Thika Road and Outering Road among other locations. In anticipation of this business, Adopt A Light took a facility with Equity Bank and ordered the High Mast structures from our partners in South Africa. However, the whole project was thwarted before it could take off after Mwangi made several sexual advances towards me and I categorically turned him down. He was a friendly, listening and caring partner only as long as the chase was on. Later on through changes made to our contract after the fall-out, I realized he had all intentions not to honor our agreement in case I declined his advances.

THE AFTERMATH

It didn’t take long after Equity Bank breached our agreement for Adopt A Light to be left with a massive bill to pick up. Before the matter spilled into the courts, Equity Bank hired Neptune Credit, an unlicenced debt collector whose approach to debt collection was unprofessional and not what one would expect from a bank of Equity’s stature. This was also unlawful as banks need or seek court orders before contracting the services of a debt collector. Or if they appoint one, the collector must start with the courts before taking any action. The story of how Neptune Credit harassed me and my children is captured under OB 38 of 15/4/2009 at Parklands police station. But as is pretty much the norm in Kenya, the case was closed before it started.

Mwangi only went to court for alleged debt after I won the highly compromised award (after lots of applications to deny me justice ) to try and stop the award. In spite of an IRAC report on the interest overcharge and the irregular debits, Mwangi adamantly refused to reverse the same. Even his managers realised his motives were personal and not professional because it is standard for banks to reverse proven irregular debits. This prompted me to go back and demand that the Bank pays in full what it owed my business and I have every intention of pursuing damages for destroying my company and the ensuing psychological distress.

WHY I CAME OUT

It took a lot of soul searching for me to share my experience after reaching my tipping point. It is true that Mwangi is a brilliant and talented banker, looking at what he’s achieved with the Equity brand. However, he was highly unprofessional with me.

At the time, I informed Chairman Peter Munga ( as well as other senior managers) of the happenings but he couldn’t defend me as his hands were tied. Wherever Munga is right now, he knows the truth and I hope one day he’ll stand up for me. But even if he doesn’t, I know someone will eventually vindicate me.

Make no mistake, this is not easy for me but I stand by my every word.

Tuwei: Introducing Man Who’s Grabbing Land On Swazuri’s Behalf Using StateHouse Name

$

Recently we covered a story whereby the National Lands Commission (NLC) Chairman Muhammad Swazuri is involved in a cartel that forcefully acquires land and disposes it off to unsuspecting buyers.

We proposed a new terms of engagement in the Kenya National Police Service where every communication between the NLC and the NPS be routed through the office of the Inspector General Julius Boinnet, to avoid cases where Swazuri is misusing OCPD’s for personal gain.

It had emerged that Swazuri had been suspiciously talking with an OCPD, influencing him to invade a parcel of land along Mombasa Road. In the letter to the OCPD, Swazuri had mischievously claimed that the Commission had unsuccessfully petitioned the owner of the land to produce ownership without fail.

The question is, how does Swazuri ask an owner to produce ownership documents yet his office is the custodian of the same documents? So when a land owner is unable to produce documents due to various circumstances like attachment to a financial institution as collateral, it automatically means that they don’t own the land?

You all need to understand that Swazuri is trying to bring the Coastal mentality to Nairobi, whereby he thinks that he will just primitively-acquire land as people remain silent. He thinks that simply because he bribes journalists and issues orders, that he’s some sort-of small god, who can get away with anything.

Recently a commentor petitioned me on why I mentioned his 4 wives, but you all should know that the land Swazuri is stealing is being registered under the names of his wives. Which then beg the question, why should we Kenyans have to bear the brunt of his stupidity of marrying 4 wives? Which idiots still marry 4 wives?

Today, we exclusively acquired details on the man who works with Swazuri to primitively acquire title-deeds. His name is Tuwei and his telephone numbers are 0722469689, 0700715680 and 0724116776. Tuwei walks around Nairobi claiming to have serious Statehouse connections, intimidating police officers and Government officials.

CAPTION: Muhammad Swazuri’s partner in land fraud activities Tuwei exposed.

It is high time that President Uhuru cracked the whip on anyone invoking Statehouse’s name for personal gain. Tuwei should be arrested together with Swazuri immediately for compromising investments and making Kenya lose its overall appeal in attracting investors.

We reiterate our position that the Inspector General move swiftly and arrest Muhammad Swazuri, for using his position to steal land instead of resolving historical injustices surrounding the land question.


Woke Twitter vs Broke Twitter: How James Mwangi Came Back From Injury #JamesTheSexPredator

Screen Shot 2016-08-04 at 07.51.56

CAPTION: Twitter Trends show how Woke-Twitter had managed to trend James Mwangi as a sex-pest, until Broke Twitter came in to sanitise him as an angel sent to Kenya by heavenly forces. 

Contrary to public perception and pontification, social-media is what runs this country, seeing the way James Mwangi reacted to a mosquito bite with a hammer by bribing bloggers to react to the hashtag that revealed his true self as someone who uses his position for personal/sexual gain.

While Esther Passaris may have her own weaknesses, the burden of proof isnt on her, since she has never been a custodian of money handed to her out of goodwill. Esther isn’t a CEO of a publicly-listed company that has a duty and obligation to play by both Central Bank and Capital Markets rules. She runs a small outfit trying to survive like every other Kenyan.

Those insulting Esther Passaris are simply agents of James Mwangi who should instead sue Ms. Passaris instead of engaging in a dirty campaign tarnishing her image and persona, if indeed they believe that she is lying.

Woke Twitter is the segment of social-media that rationalizes issues outside the framework of bribery and coercion. Broke Twitter is the segment of social-media that’s paid to run with any hashtag void of conscience and logic. In this segment you will find Abraham Mutai @ItsMutai busy insulting me, yet his blog hasn’t even been ranked by Alexa due to the inferior content in it.

Broke Twitter bloggers need to appreciate me because I have created the opportunity for them to benefit from the Kshs. 10 Million that Equity Bank CEO James Mwangi has allocated to wage an online war against Esther Passaris. The sad part is that 90% of that money is going to a middle-mans pocket, with only 10% being disbursed to Broke Twitter-bloggers.

James Mwangi has now met his match, considering that he has operated as the blue-eyed boy of the banking sector over the last ten years, acting as a revolutionary yet he is a thief whose only purpose in life is to acquire all prime properties lodged at Equity Bank as collateral for loans.

The son of Equity Bank Chairman Peter Munga died under mysterious circumstances, after jumping off the balcony of Black Diamond Club in Westland. Peter Munga is so stubborn, that he cannot connect the death of his only son to the past historical injustices he has committed unto people, especially the client whom he stole Pioneer School from.

Former President Daniel Arap Moi’s grandchild was in the news recently, for stealing a cellphone, and yet the old bastard cannot connect the tribulations in his family, to the injustices he meted on Kenyans. It’s life; what goes around comes around. God said that he will curse up to the fourth generation, those who committed crimes and went against his teachings. Peter Munga, the Chairman of Equity Bank is a candidate. He will be alive to see Karma come back to bite his ass.

There is a reason why Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc commit a substantial amount of their earnings to charity or research for the next Cancer/HIV vaccine. Because their money is self-made. But James Mwangi only uses the Mastecard Foundation money floss as if it was his, yet he is silently trying to hijack property filed by unsuspecting clients as collateral.

Dear James Mwangi, Broke Twitter will not absolve you from the crimes you have committed on your clients. Bribing bloggers to tarnish the name of Esther Passaris won’t negate the fact that you used sexual-coercian to solicit and even attempt to take over her company, which would have been an African success story.

Your legacy has just gone down to waste due to greed and your affinity of bribing mainstream media journalists to look good. We hereby call on you to resign as CEO of Equity Bank, as your continued stay will result into a major catastrophe for this country.

For instance we have received two emails informing us of cases against Equity Bank by former bank officials, cases which have all been ruled against the bank. This one involved an expatriate, an African American by the name Maurice Ewing What’s shocking is the salary he was earning. US$ 35,000 per month and this was in 2012. That’s about KES 4M which means James Mwangi must have been earning much more because I dough he can hire an employee and pay him more than he takes home himself.

So clearly James Mwangi is not only disregarding laws, but using his position to intimidate and sexually abuse helpless women like the former head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Dominic Strauss-Khan. Indeed James Mwangi should by now be under the criminal proble of Ndegwa Muhoro, so as to give the DCI boss some work, so that he can stop being idle and arresting bloggers.

State resources should never be exploitted by civil-servants wrongly, like how Muhoro dispatches vehicles to arrest peaceful bloggers, as terrorists and gangsters roam in peace.

There seems to be a flagrant disrespect for labour laws by the CEO James Mwangi because he believes he cannot be taken anywhere due to his proximity with President Uhuru Kenyatta. But in essence James Mwangi should be behind bars together with Peter Munga the chairman who used customer deposits to build the Enashipai Hotel in Naivasha, and another director Stanley Muchoki used depositors money to construct Summerdale Hotel in Nairobi West shopping center.

Today, we don’t care who James Mwangi is. He is just another scum of the earth.

Neo-Colonialism: See How Uhuru Treats White Students vs Local Students

There is a barrage of delusional JAP-supporters, whom we try to convince that Uhuru isn’t one of them, being a kid who attended the “prestigious” St. Mary’s School, mingling with white children and assimilated into their culture by the Irish Priest who was conducting a social-experiment on integrating black kids from rich backgrounds with white kids from the post-colonial establishment.

 
The Irish Priest who many a St. Mary’s alumni refer to fondly and remember their days with nostalgia, simply wanted to institutionalise colonialism, by conditioning the likes of Uhuru and children of the black elite/emerging African leadership, that whites are essentially more superior than blacks. It’s the reason why all of Uhuru’s companies are ran by whites.

 

Jubilee sycophants, many who are perennially broke and are always walking around pubs begging for free drinks, will be sad to finally see the reality that Uhuru isn’t one of them. He is simply a rich-brat, who has no interest for the ordinary mwananchi.

 
Eric Kogi, Jane Kogi, Polycarp Hinga, and other perenially-broke Jubilee sycophants who live on “hope” that one day God will reward them for their steadfast love and adoration for Uhuru, will be disheartened to see how their fellow black children were treated at Statehouse, compared to black students.

 
In Uhuru’s ideal world, Kenya should only consist of children that attended British-system curriculum schools, speaking in deep fake accents and are both heavy drinkers and smokers.

 
Today, it’s very sad to hear that even the Jubilee MP’s who need favours from Government, access them via Deputy President William Ruto and not Uhuru Kenyatta. It is perhaps in this structure that misled the DP to commence early 2022 campaigns, because all Central MP’s engage him more than they do with their own person who is in StateHouse.

 
The truth is that DP Ruto is in-touch with the mwananchi and Uhuru is in cloud-9, with his fellow mzungu’s. Neo-colonialism at its best!

Is Lawyer Donald Kipkorir The Custodian Of The Hoe-Culture In Nairobi?

Socialite-cum-lawyer Donald Kipkorir is on the spot today, after he purchased a spanking new Range Rover from RMA Kenya.

In his characteristic grandiose and braggish ways, Kipkorir took to Facebook to show off his latest acquisition, as usual invoking God’s name to appeal to the Kenyan 8-4-4 educated masses who have come to associate wealth-acquisition with “blessings”, irrespective of whether it was rightly or wrongly acquired.

This is the reason why someone like Deputy President William Ruto can boldly stand in a church service and claim that his ascension to prominence is purely God’s work, and dumb folk nod their heads in concurrence.

So yes, crooked lawyers who have made it their core business to swindle clients off their hard-earned money, are also pompous enough to invoke God’s name in their wealth acquisitions. What a time to be alive!

What shocked us most is not necessarily the acquisition of a vehicle (I mean afterall, Donald isn’t the richest Kenyan in Nairobi), but the speed at which hoe’s/socialites/hoodrats responded in seeking to align with his acquisition.

I mean, a lawyer like Nani Njoroge who owns Wasini Luxury Apartments where Mercy Keino was last spotted alive before being murdered, is far much wealthier than Donald Kipkorir. But Nani doesn’t show off as much.

Which is a message to all men that when you’re doing “well” based on earthly parameters, normally gauged by earthly possessions, women will flock around you like flies on shit. That’s just how it is.

These bitches don’t flock around someone like Joe Muchiri because they like him; no way José. They only want the proximity to the free tickets to events, or free liquor he is given by clubs which he patronises and promotes on his Instagram account.

Bitches smell and follow the money. Only real women will hold you down, and ride or die with you, whatever the circumstances.

Lillian Muli for instance, was once said to date the Chairman of Shabana Football Club Jared Nivaton, who handed her the keys to his Audi Q7. She was to later crush it somewhere in Kilimani at night and left the dude after he got broke. Jared has since disappeared from the limelight after it turned out that he didn’t have money to fix the Q7 after Lillian pranged it.

That situation is not unique to her, but to the few ladies who have psychopathic tendencies. Again I repeat, they are the minority. Probably less than 2% of the population. Unfortunately they take the limelight and give the misconception that they’re the majority.

Then ofcourse we have seen a bona-fide commercial sex-worker Huddah proclaiming that Donald Kipkorir is her advisor and mentor. Kipkorir needs to tell the world if he runs a mentorship program that targets women, or it’s merely a “coincidence” that he just happens to know all the hoe’s in Nairobbery.

Reason why I ask this question; is Donald Kipkorir the custodian of the hoe-culture in Nairobbery?

Is Janet Mbugua Pregnant With Second Child?

Seasoned news-anchor and pro girl-child agendist Janet Mbugua looks like she is pregnant with a second child. A photo that the girl-child activist posted on Instagram portrayed a bump, meaning that she is poised to give birth to her second child.

It appears that Janet Mbugua’s husband is as fertile as the Okavango Delta.

Janet Mbugua’s rise as a pro girl-child activist has raised concerns from the establishment, with Ebru TV’s social-media retweeter Leon Lidigu recently questioning her motives, on why she is also not focusing on the boy child.

The boy child has been neglected due to the loud noise of feminists who have successfully managed to subdue men in the country, and attract all the attention and action.

Zipporah (Zippy) Kittony is the country’s foremost feminist, who misled the nation into rallying behind Maendeleo ya Wanawake, which was merely a vehicle to enrich herself and her son Kiprono Kittony.

Meanwhile as Janet Mbugua gives birth to a second child, reports reaching our newsroom indicate that Thika Town MP Alice Nganga may have aborted her child, borne after consummation with suspended National Irrigation Board (NIB) General Manager Daniel Barasa.

Speculation is rife that she made the decision to abort in anticipation of the campaigns period, with only one year remaining to the next General Elections.

The two are accused of embezzling billions of shillings in a much-hyped Galana irrigation scheme project, that was meant to help Kenya attain domestic food security, and not beggars of relief-food like our neighbors Somalia.

Instead, Barasa and Alice acquired land in Lavington so as to build flats. The stupidity of Kenyan leaders who choose to compromise long-term national projects so as to build flats.

But what’s the origin of this sick obsession with land/real-estate? We traced it back to three companies Knight Frank (owned by the Ndegwa family), Hass Consult and Cytonn Investments, who conjure fake reports showing the bright prospects of the real estate sector, in a bid to trigger a run on their properties.

The Ndegwa family is associated with many other businesses making them some of the wealthiest in Kenya. Their source of money can be traced to the early 80’s, where their father was the Central Bank Governor. He initiated what was known as the Export Compensation Scheme, which was to later be known as Goldenberg.

Basically Ndegwa senior is the father of industrial-scale fraud in Kenya. But should we allow Knight Frank to continue manipulating land/real-estate/rent prices in Kenya by bribing Business journalists? Who the hell do the Ndegwa’s think they are?

Illegal Withdrawals Are Rife In Equity Bank: Companies Need To Give It A Wide-Berth

Equity-Bank-Branches

Caption : Equity Bank group 

This is a warning to corporates, investment-groups, chama’s and other joint account-holders. Kindly give Equity Bank a wide-berth. Because the bank is not professional and rides predominantly on the fact that they revolutionised banking in Kenya by bringing the hitherto un-banked masses into the formal economy, they use this as a justification to flagrantly flout rules and procedures because they know they have the ear of Government and donors.

Secondly, anyone should be concerned when a CEO becomes too cosy with politicians or the status-quo. They will be bending over backwards to accommodate ridiculous demands. Any CEO having cosy relationships with Government officials is a Class “A” scumbag, and we know the usual suspects, the ones who bribe business journalists to always appear on TV telling us fuck-all.

For instance, we have recently brought Equity Bank to the fore, which has for long been acting the blue-eyed boy of Kenyan banking. We have discovered that directors specifically the chairman Peter Munga only moonlights in the account-books, scouting for prime property that has been attached as collateral, so as to hijack it using hostile means like sending auctioneers.

We have also read a sad story about how Bank of Baroda has been trying to acquire the property of the family of Tony Gachoka, by illegally inflating interests and trumped-up charges. Bank of Baroda is owned by fuckin Indians who should be deported out of this country because they cannot make it their core-business to loot from locals.

Just like James Mwangi and Peter Munga, directors of Bank of Baroda were simply eyeing the property of Tony Gachoka’s father so as to take it over, in the same manner that Peter Munga “stole” Pioneer School from an Equity Bank borrower. All bankers are thieves and tight regulations to curb their greed should be enforced because these directors are getting away with so much bullshit.

It is interesting to peep into the mind of the Honourable Mr. Justice Ogola, one of the Judges in the Commercial and Admiralty Division of the High Court:-

“I cannot conclude this judgment without making this generally disturbing observation, that, a customer is loaned Kshs.650,000/= in 1989. Within a few years he is in arrears and soon his property is auctioned at an inconclusive auction pursuant to which a deposit of 25% is paid, which is actually enough to clear the loan arrears and balances. In 2009, the same property is sold by private treaty at the same price of Kshs.4.5 million it was meant to be sold 13 years earlier. The entire Kshs.4.5 million is taken by the bank, which in 2009, still required more than Kshs.11 million from the chargor. That can easily be Kshs.15 million now. Really where is justice? Banks cannot just hide behind the contracts they make, regardless of how unjust they are, to literally destroy their customers. Without their customers the banks cannot operate. A time has come for banks in Kenya to look into the eyes of their customers and answer the question: Are banks Kenyans? Or have they just entered Kenya for business?

Banks in Kenya reign large. I am reminded of a predator who after killing the prey is not satisfied to leave the carcass to the vultures, but becomes both the predator and the vulture, killing the prey and gleaning the meat from the carcass to ensure the prey is really dead. I am also reminded of a robber killing his victim and not only attending his funeral, but insisting on carrying the casket to the grave to confirm that his victim is dead and buried. Else, how does one explain a situation or case at hand? Wasn’t there no time when the Defendant in this matter could say “this is the case and time to close this account?” It is a sorry state of affairs in our country. As all sectors of our society are being reformed, banks should not be left behind. They need to look into the eye balls of their customers and answer the question: “Are banks Kenyans?”

We recently focused on Equity Bank, after it emerged that they had illegally authorised a withdrawal from an account operated by Catham Properties, without the consent of the company’s main shareholder Guo Dong, currently in a Chinese jail. The withdrawal was instigated by Wenjie Li, a criminal Chinese Operative working in cahoots with Saitoti and Gatu, both being close aides of Interior CS Joseph Nkaissery. Gatu and Saitoti are yet to be interdicted, and Wenjie Li is yet to be deported from Kenya, despite being in the country illegally. That’s just how impunity has gained root since Uhuru Kenyatta became president.

In Oyugis Equity Bank Branch, there’s an account by the name “Kabondo Kasipul Women Group” Account No. 1500262397195 that money was embezzled without the knowledge of the group members.

There was a fundraiser to done for this group and close to Kshs. 4 Million was raised. The bank’s rules and regulations dictates that a group account must have atleast three signatories and for any withdrawal to be done, at least two must mandatorily sign. However, against their own rules, the account was opened with only one signatory the wife of the area MP. Silvance Osele. Against the policy of the bank, several withdrawals and funds transfers were done on this account as follows;

1.On 03/10/14 Kshs. 300,000.00 was transferred to Silvance Osele’s account to pay his NPA overdraft of Kshs 110,000.

2. On 10/09/2014, Kshs. 320,000.00 was transferred to the MP’s account with only one signatory who was his wife.

3. On 03/02/2015 another Kshs 200,000.00 was transferred to the MP’s account.

This totals to Kshs. 820,000.00 which was transferred from a group account to the MP’s account coz they were aware the group didn’t even know how much was collected for the harambee which had been graced by Francis Atwoli, Hon. Glady’s Wanga, Governor Evans Kidero among others. This account’s transactions had been even queried by the auditors in December 2014 and in March 2015 but they were bribed by the branch leadership (Eliud Maina-BGDM and Maurice Ndii-Operations Manager who’s currently BGDM Chuka branch).

Thereafter in March, after swindling some cash,they introduced the other two signatories and transferred Kshs. 2 Million to a fixed deposit account on 02/03/2015 and in less than 2 months that whole amount was also withdrawn due to their influence.

The former Mbale branch BGDM was forcefully living with a credit staff in the staff’s house. When the matter came up after more than one year, the BGDM resigned and the staff was transferred to Awendo branch where she’s currently working.

This happens across the branches of Equity Bank where junior female staff are forced into illicit relationships with their Managers and those who refuse are victimized and finally sacked.

I (source) bought a 1000 shares in 2011 at Kshs 15 each and after almost five years when I left the bank and the shares were trading at Kshs 48 in NSE market, I was only refunded Kshs. 15,000 the value I had purchased them 4 years ago.

This is what is done to all the staff who leave the bank. Loans are given to staff at an interest rate of 8% and immediately one leaves, this percentage is immediately hiked to 18%.

Ladies and gentlemen, for how long will you suffer in silence? Why should these fucking rogue banks deplete our livelihoods all due to their greed? Why should business journalists glorify bankers who are simply white-collar thieves?

President Uhuru Kenyatta should know that it will be political suicide if he declines to sign into the law the bill passed by parliament capping interest rates.
