RAILA ODINGA to be probed by police over claims that KDF assisted UHURU/ RUTO in rigging march 4th 2013 general elections

uhuruto.jpg Former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, is currently swimming in murky waters, after the Director of Public Prosecutions, Keriako Tobiko, directed the Inspector General of Police, David Kimaiyo, to probe Raila Odinga over his allegations that Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) assisted in rigging last year’s Presidential poll. In his letter to the IG on Thursday, Tobiko says he received a written complaint from Kiharu MP, Irungu Kangata, dated January 28 concerning remarks allegedly made by Raila during a CORD rally in Kisumu earlier that month. The DPP also directed Kangata to present his informant to the Director of Criminal Investigations to make a formal complaint and record a statement so that full investigations may be commenced. In a letter to the DPP, Kangata said he received information from a man named, Pesa Shayo, who attended the said public rally at Jomo Kenyatta Grounds on or about January 17, where Raila Odinga uttered words to the effect that military personnel were used to eject CORD supporters from the Bomas of Kenya, to enable President Uhuru Kenyatta clinch victory. The informant also said he heard Raila Odinga tell a crowd that former President Mwai Kibaki was aware of rigging plans. Tobiko certified the matter as urgent and ordered Kimaiyo to probe Raila over the allegations.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him. He was paid a full Ksh 790. Not a coin less. That evening, Kat...
