I couldn’t understand the motive of neither the council of elders chairman, nor our heritage minister Mr. William Ole Ntimama. But one thing for sure it reignited sour feelings and I had fought so hard to hold them.
Come to think of Keriako tobiko, his good academic credentials, eloquent queens English and lack of Maasai accent in his speech. Then think of Sammy kirui and his reasons for accusing Tobiko.what about Yash Gai-perhaps bitter for his failure in constitution review duties. I could bet my last coin that none of this tow men and their claims could have denied Mr. Tobiko his DPP post. I didn’t expect Kenyans or even august house members to give consideration scandalous Mr.Kirui or Even Bitter Mr. Yash Gai. But Maasai council of elders chairman as well as Mr William Ole Ntimama might have ruined the slightest chances of Kenyans ever approving Mr.Keriako Tobiko As their DPP.
August house-based on numbers- might have succeeded in approving him but I doubt he will get full support of Kenyans as the Chief Justice Dr.Willy Mutunga and his deputy Ms Nancy Baraza enjoys. Though ODM bigwigs have always been “vigeugeu” their sudden change of heart did little to earn him loyalty from right thinking Kenyans. I assume it was just a question of playing politicians tricks ahead of a general election in 2012
On the other hand, there was more to read on the two leaders statements that what could meet the eyes. While the chairman was thumping chest playing tribal resentment, Mr Ntimama was cunning enough to camouflage a tribal blackmail and assume the tribe’s Godfather.http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=varsit03-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B004HFRJCG&fc1=E52404&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=A3DFC7&f=ifr
What exactly could have motivated them to play these games? Was it a question of norm-something they’ve got used to do? Or was it to only blackmail ODM legislatures in favour of? Mr. Tobiko?

President Kibaki is today meeting 16 Kenyan envoys stationed in United Nations Security Councilwooing tricksmember-states over the country’s bid to get cases at the International Criminal Court deferred.
The session comes after Kenya formally wrote to the Security Council asking for deferral of The Hague trials facing six Kenyans over crimes committed during 2008 post-election violence. The letter requesting delaying of the cases facing the six was written by Kenya’s Permanent Mission to the UN, based in New York.

| President Kibaki |
The envoys were summoned to Nairobi through a letter written by acting Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary Mr Patrick Wamoto.
“As part of our engagement with our friends and partners regarding Kenya’s engagement with the International Criminal Court, it has been decided that you travel home for consultations. These consultations will entail a meeting with H.E. The President to ensure you receive proper instructions on the matter,” said Wamoto in the letter to the diplomats.
“You are, therefore, requested to arrange to be in Nairobi by the morning of 14th February 2011 for a possible meeting with H.E. the President on 15th February 2011. Prior to that, we will arrange a comprehensive briefing on the ICC and other pertinent issues,” he added.
The envoys attended a consultative meeting yesterday at Hotel Intercontinental where they were taken through the ICC process.
It is expected they will be briefed on how to lobby the leaders where they work to back Kenya’s request.
Final touches were being put on plans for Kibaki’s meeting with the envoys as Prime Minister Raila Odinga dismissed the diplomatic efforts being waged by the government as futile.
The PM said the attempts to defer the cases were doomed to fail.
“The rule law should be respected, those hopping from one country to another seeking support for the deferral are perpetrators of impunity,” he said in reference to Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka’s shuttle diplomacy.
Kenya’s efforts to influence UN Security Council come after it successfully lobbied African countries to rally behind its position under the umbrella of the African Union.
It is, however, clear that the US could prove a difficult case for Kenya. A diplomat who is privy to the efforts to convince UN Security Council members revealed that the US State Department would not support Kenya’s bid. “The State Department has been very categorical they will not support Kenya’s bid… US will even ensure Kenya’s request is not tabled before the Security Council when that time comes,” a diplomat told The Standard.
The US is among the permanent members of the council together with China, France, Russia and the United Kingdom. China, France and Russia have already given indications they might support Kenya’s bid for deferral.
The non-permanent members are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, Portugal, Brazil, India, South Africa, Colombia, Lebanon, Gabon and Nigeria. Decisions of the Security Council are made by an affirmative vote of nine members, including the votes of the five permanent members. If a permanent member casts a negative vote, the draft resolution being voted on is not passed.
Credible systems
And yesterday, speaking on the sidelines of the envoys’ meeting, Kenya’s Ambassador to the US Mr Elkanah Odembo said whatever the Government does, it must also remember that the problem facing Kenya must be dealt with locally, not at The Hague or New York. “We must have a credible tribunal that will see us beyond the Ocampo Six. That will be the best case to argue before the ICC and the Security Council… it’s really futile for us to go around lobbying. Let us have credible systems that will end the culture of impunity,” said Odembo.
The PM who was speaking during the 27th commemoration of Wagalla Massacre in Wajir town asked: “Why should you defer a case for a local tribunal yet even if formed you won’t take action?” He added: “With 2012 coming, those perpetrators would be at it again so they should face the law.”
Imenti Central MP Gitobu Imanyara who accompanied Raila also said he might abandon a Bill he had introduced in Parliament seeking formation of a local tribunal. He argued those seeking the deferral of ICC case were not representative of Kenya.
“Those behind the post-election violence should now go to The Hague and let us not be vague,” he said.

MPs say move opens window for more talks ODM wants plum State jobs advertised House Speaker Kenneth Marende referred the ruling on Kibaki nominations to two House Committees Showdown as Raila, Kibaki ‘put record straight’ Face-off: House clash over Kibaki list of nominees Executive must respect spirit of new Constitution By Martin Mutua Speaker Kenneth Marende tactfully avoided being sucked into standoff between the President and the Prime Minister by giving them a ten-day window to resolve their disagreement and referring the dispute to two House committees. One member decribed it as a ‘Solomonic judgement’ while others praised him for the manner he disarmed both sides to the dispute and brought in a different group to delve into the crisis, which has driven the Grand Coalition into a spin. The Speaker who bore the burden of ruling if the four nominations Mr Raila Odinga accuses President Kibaki of making without regard to exhaustive consultations were within constitutional threshold, passed over the task of verifying the truth of the claims by both sides to the Justice and Finance committees. Underpinning his ruling to the post-election experience that was pacified with Kibaki-Raila power-sharing deal, Marende warned Kenya’s leadership: “It will be a pity and a severe indictment of our collective leadership if in time to come, history shall record of our country in general and of our leadership in particular that we learnt nothing from history.” While excusing himself, on the grounds of law and House Standing Orders, from giving the ruling sought in the controversial nominations, he referred it to the Justice and Finance House Committees. “If I were a judge sitting on the Bench in a court of law, I would rule that the matter proceed to hearing and that the objections raised be heard and determined at that stage,” he said. Withhold any determination The backbone of his ruling lay in three crucial paragraphs in the 29-page statement on a matter raised by Central Imenti MP, Gitobu Imanyara: “I accordingly withhold any determination or comment on the veracity and weight to be accorded to the letter received from Prime Minister.” Kibaki (right) and Prime Minister Raila Odinga (left) may now have to go back to the drawing board. [PHOTO: File/STANDARD] “I accordingly decline to make a determination as to whether or not the nominations transmitted to my office by the Office of His Excellency, the President, were or were not constitutionally arrived at nor whether there was or was not consultation within the meaning of the Constitution.” “I further direct the two letters (Kibaki’s and Raila’s) be forwarded to the departmental committees on Justice and Finance … for disposal as provided for in the Standing Orders and the Law.” There was a sigh of relief in both sides of the House, both of which had been bracing for battle of numbers, as the ruling fell short of annulling or upholding the Kibaki appointments. The two committees, Justice headed by Mr Budalang’i MP, Ababu Namwamba, and Finance by Nambale MP, Chris Okemo, has up to next Thursday to make the report. Will be scrutinised Three of the nominations — Chief Justice (Alnashir Visram), Attorney General (Githu Muigai) and Director of Public Prosecutions (Kioko Kilukumi) fall under Namwamba’s docket while that of the Comptroller of Budget (William Kirwa) will be scrutinised by the Okemo committee. Many had expected Marende would say he finds the nominations irregular or at least to reject some while allowing others to be tabled for debate. But few anticipated his ruling yesterday, and that Kenyans would have to wait longer to know the fate of the nominees. He ruled on a day the High Court found the nominations unconstitutional. Justice Daniel Musinga yesterday said it would be unconstitutional for any State officer or organ of the State to carry on with the process of the approval and eventual appointment to the four offices based on the nominations made by Kibaki on January 28. With the declaration, he effectively put the process on hold until the hearing of the petition or further orders of the court. Marende, however, sidestepped the court decision, saying Parliament would make its own determination when the committees table their reports. House Speaker Kenneth Marende on Thursday withheld ruling and referred President Kibaki’s judicial nominations to two House Committees. After saving the two principals the agony of having Parliament judge them, the Speaker made it clear they still have opportunity to reach an agreement. “Needless to say, the window remains open, and it is to be hoped, that developments may occur that make this important nomination process uncontested on the basis either of constitutionality or otherwise and thereby render such guidance and directions unnecessary,” he said. The Speaker said the request by Imanyara for a ruling on the constitutionality of the Kibaki nominations was premature because by the time he asked for the ruling the names were not properly before the House. Intercepted correspondence “I have not been able to find any precedents of this House in which the Speaker intercepted correspondence addressed to the House and unilaterally made a determination as to its legality or validity, and returned it to the nominating authority,” he said. Last Friday the President, through Head of the Civil Service, Francis Muthaura, sent the list of the nominees to Marende. Raila later wrote to renounce the process. The PM challenged the nominations prompting Imanyara to request for the Speaker’s ruling. Marende reflected on the state of the country in 2008 as it burned because of disputed presidential election saying: “We were on the brink of the precipice because a dispute relating to an election was not referred to the Judiciary because of a lack of faith in the Judiciary. It is this very Judiciary whose head is now sought to be appointed by a process, entrenched by the New Constitution resoundingly enacted by the people of Kenya for themselves.” He warned few countries have had the opportunity for a second chance like Kenya and events happening around the world that could have been easily avoided or acted upon while there was an opportunity can rapidly deteriorate and become unmanageable. Several MPs shouted back ‘Egypt! Tunisia!’ at this point.
Prime Minister Raila Odinga told journalists he was shocked to hear President Mwai Kibaki had announced late Friday nominees for chief justice, top prosecutor, attorney general and budget chief.
“Without a doubt this decision has thrown the country into a major constitutional crisis and may be the beginning of the end in respect of the implementation of the reform agenda if not corrected and reversed,” Odinga said.
He called on the president to withdraw the nominations or his party will pursue measures to block them, including legal ones.
The nominations were made on the eve of Kibaki’s trip to neighboring Ethiopia, where the African Union is holding a regular summit this weekend.
At the summit, Kibaki is expected to follow up on a lobbying mission the vice president led in recent weeks to seek the support of several African countries for a request to defer the cases of six prominent Kenyans at the International Criminal Court. Kibaki’s supporters argue a new constitution passed in August lays out far-reaching changes to the judiciary to be implemented within a year that will see Kenya able to handle the ICC cases.
Kibaki’s supporters want the AU to lobby the U.N. Security Council to pass a resolution in favor of deferring the Kenyan cases. The Security Council is the only body under international law that can request a 12-month deferral on an ICC case. Such a request can be renewed once.
Odinga has said that the Cabinet has not discussed such a move. He argued on Saturday that Kenya is better off applying to the ICC directly, but only after having implemented genuine reforms in the judiciary.
In December, ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo asked judges to charge a deputy prime minister, the secretary to the Cabinet, two former Cabinet ministers, a former police chief and a prominent radio journalist with crimes against humanity, including murder, rape and torture. The judges are expected to make their decision in the coming months.
Kibaki and Odinga formed a power-sharing government three years ago to end violence that followed the disputed December 2007 elections. More than 1,000 people died in that violence.
Their coalition government has never been harmonious, but since the middle of last year, Kibaki and Odinga have had a good working relationship. Saturday’s statement by Odinga marks the first major disagreement between the two since the middle of last year.

FMI HAS THE RIGHT TO EDIT ANY EXTERNAL ARTICLE INORDER TO MEET OUR ETHICS
By James Chege
members of the Kenyatta University
Students Journalism Club (KUSJC)
visited a leading media house in the
region where they got valuable lessons on
communication.
The visit to the Standard Group Centre,
the home of the Standard Group was an
eye opener to the 20 KUSJC members. The
Centre, on Mombasa Road, comprises various
sections, including the studios of the Kenya
Television Network (KTN), Radio Maisha, the
Publishers Distribution Service (PDS), Standard
newspapers, and the printing press.
The students were taken around the
premises by Mr. Michael Kivindyo a senior
Corporate Affairs official with the Group. The
five-hour tour on November 4, 2010, saw the
KU team tour key areas including the creative
section (where the KTN graphic designers and
animators were busy developing new ideas);
the security section; the editorial library; and,
the newsroom ,where they interacted with
experienced journalists at work. In fact, Lenny,
the Group’s cartoonist, was at had to draw and
autograph caricatures for the students.
Perhaps the most memorable part of the visit
was the printing section where the budding
journalists were taken through the automated
press process of printing, packaging and
loading newspapers into vans ready for
delivery.
Mr. Kivindyo encouraged the potential
journalists to strive to become great scribes.
“Good is the enemy of great,” he said.
Louis Moreno Ocampo The names of suspected masterminds of Kenya’s post election violence have finally been revealed.
The six include senior politicians in the Party of National Unity (PNU) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), the main parties that battled it out for the presidency in the disputed 2007 elections.
International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said Wednesday that the prominent leaders bore “the greatest responsibility” for the violence that left 1,133 people dead and 650,000 displaced.
Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta, his Industrialisation counterpart Henry Kosgey, Eldoret North MP William Ruto, the head of the civil service Francis Muthaura, former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali and journalist Joshua arap Sang will now receive summons to appear before The Hague- based court.
Mr Moreno-Ocampo was addressing a news conference after presenting before the ICC judges two cases, each involving three individuals.
“The post election period of 2007-2008 was one of the most violent periods of the nation’s history,” said the Prosecutor.
“These were not just crimes against innocent Kenyans,” he said.
“They were crimes against humanity as a whole. By breaking the cycle of impunity for massive crimes, victims and their families can have justice. And Kenyans can pave the way to peaceful elections in 2012.”
Mr Moreno Ocampo said he considered Mr Ruto, Mr Kosgey and Mr arap Sang as the “principal planners and organisers of crimes against PNU supporters”.
He said Mr Muthaura used his position as the chairman of the National Security Advisory Committee to “authorise the police to use excessive force against ODM supporters and to facilitate attacks against ODM supporters”. Major General Ali also faces the same charges.
Mr Kenyatta is accused of mobilising the outlawed sect Mungiki to attack ODM supporters.
Mr Sang used “his radio program to collect supporters and provide signals to members of the plan on when and where to attack,” said the Prosecutor.
He said that “perpetrators” cultivated by Mr Ruto, Mr Kosgey and Mr Sang began to execute their plan by attacking PNU supporters immediately after the results were announced.
“On 30-31 December 2007, they began attacks in target locations including Turbo town, the greater Eldoret area (Huruma, Kimumu, Langas, and Yamumbi), Kapsabet town, and Nandi Hills town. They approached each location from all directions, burning down PNU supporters’ homes and businesses, killing civilians, and systematically driving them from their homes.
“On 1 January 2008, the church located on the Kiambaa farm cooperative was attacked and burned with more than hundred people inside. At least 17 people died. The brunt of the attacks continued into the first week of January 2008.”
Mr Moreno-Ocampo accused government officials: Mr Kenyatta, Mr Muthaura and Major General Ali of planning and executing well coordinated retaliatory attacks.
“On or about 3 January 2008, KENYATTA, as the focal point between the PNU and the criminal organization the Mungiki, facilitated a meeting with MUTHAURA, a senior Government of Kenya official, and Mungiki leaders to organize retaliatory attacks against civilian supporters of the ODM.
“Thereafter, MUTHAURA, in his capacity as Chairman of the National Security Advisory Committee (“NSAC”), telephoned ALI, his subordinate as head of the Kenya Police, and instructed ALI not to interfere with the movement of pro-PNU youth, including the Mungiki.
“KENYATTA additionally instructed the Mungiki leaders to attend a second meeting on the same day to finalise logistical and financial arrangements for the retaliatory attacks,” he said.
The ICC prosecutor said he had no evidence linking President Kibaki or Mr Odinga to the violence.
“”We follow the evidence where it takes us. We are not taking into account political responsibilities … there are political debates, but it is not my responsibility,” Moreno-Ocampo said.
On Tuesday, Mr Moreno-Ocampo issued nine tough conditions that will guarantee freedom to the six.
He warned that he will seek arrest warrants from the Pre-Trial Chamber if the conditions, which range from the suspects frequently informing the ICC judges of their movements to an assurance of not interfering with the witnesses, were flouted.
But three of the six suspects immediately protested their innocence led by Mr Kenyatta.
“My record is clear and it remains very clear that I have never committed any crime,” Mr Kenyatta told reporters at a press conference.
“The ICC prosecutor has done his work, we wait for the outcome of the judges,” he said.
“I now find myself to be a suspect, I am ready to respond to any allegations made against me.”
Mr Ruto also countered Mr Moreno-Ocampo’s accusations saying he was not surprised to be named.
“The issues I have raised have now come to pass. It did not come as a surprise to me,” Mr Ruto said at a press conference at Parliament Buildings.
“All along I knew that there was a deliberate scheme, hatched and executed by people who were not interested in justice,” he said..
Flanked by scores of MPs, Mr Ruto said he was ready to face Mr Ocampo at the Hague.
“I am ready, willing and available to face the prosecutor with his witnesses in court as and when i am required to do so. My conscience is clear, I neither participated, organised or had anything to do with the violence.
“It is just a question of time and the truth will come out and shame the devil,” he said while declining to answer any questions from reporters.
On his part, Mr Muthaura said he had not done anything to warrant criminal prosecution.
“The suggestion that I have done anything to warrant criminal investigation is manifest nonsense. It amounts to an unwarranted slur on my reputation and is both unfair and unjustified,” Mr Muthaura told a hurriedly convened press conference at his Harambee House office.
“To issue summons for a person to appear, the pre-trial Chamber of the ICC needs to be satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the person for whom the summons is requested committed the crime alleged. No such judicial determination has been made. None,” Mr Muthaura added, flanked by government spokesman Dr Alfred Mutua, President Kibaki’s advisor on the constitution Prof Kivutha Kibwana and a Senior Secretary at the cabinet office, Sam Mwale.
“I wait to see what the judiciary of the ICC make of the Prosecutor’s application. Hopefully they will dismiss his application,” he stated.
“In the event that they do decide to issue summons, I will voluntarily attend The Hague and respect any request the judges of the ICC have for me.”
The documents he gave the court included the names of the six, the crimes they are alleged to have committed and the penalty that he will be asking for.
A three-judge bench will now evaluate the two 80-page bundles of documents and decide whether he can proceed and file the charges he has identified.
Two weeks ago, Mr Moreno-Ocampo had promised to name the suspects during an address to a meeting of the Kenya National Dialogue and Reconciliation, convened by the Panel of Eminent African Personalities chaired by former UN secretary general Kofi Annan at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Upper Hill, Nairobi.
The prosecutor said the cases had been strengthened by new evidence his team had gathered, in addition to the leads contained in the Waki Commission and Kenya National Commission on Human Rights reports.
“Since last March, when the judges issued an authorisation, my office has been investigating post electoral violence. We collected new evidence, including testimonies, videos and documents. We are not going to discuss our evidence in the media. We will do it in court,” he said.
He said the Waki Commission and the KNCHR reports were key in the investigations into the post election chaos but they only provided the background on which his team based its inquiries.

William Kipchirchir Samoei arap Ruto born 21 December 1966 in Kamagut, Uasin Gishu) is a Kenyan politician who was Minister for Higher Education until 19 October 2010 after being suspended for corruption. He is also one of the two deputy party leaders of the Orange Democratic Movement. He had previously served in the Ministry of Agriculture since April 2008. Ruto was elected Director of Elections on 18 March 2002, when the National Development Party led by Raila Odinga merged with the Kenya African National Union (KANU). He was Secretary General of KANU, the former ruling political party, and he has been MP for Eldoret North Constituency since the 1997 Kenyan election a seat he won after trouncing the former M.P. The Late Hon. Rueben Chesire. He became an Assistant Minister in the Office of the President and was appointed Minister in charge of Home Affairs in August 2002 but lost the post after the December 2002 election, in which Kenya African National Union lost to the National Rainbow Coalition coalition. He also previously served as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Constitutional Reform in the 9th Parliament.
Ruto has been implicated in orchestrating the 2007/2008 post election violence in Kenya.On November 3, 2010, Ruto flew to the International Criminal Court at the Hague to discuss an evidence deal with the prosecutor. On 15 December 2010, Ruto was named in a summons by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, in relation to his role in violence which followed from the 2007 elections
Early life
Ruto was born 21 December 1966 in Kamagut, Uasin Gishu to the late Mzee Daniel Cheruiyot and Mama Sarah Cheruiyot. He attended Kerotet Primary School for his primary school education then joined Wareng Secondary School for his Ordinary Levels education before proceeding to Kapsabet Boys, Nandi for his Advanced Levels. He then went on to receive a BSc and MSc in botany from the University of Nairobi, graduating in 1990.
Political career
Ruto was Organising Secretary of Youth for Kanu ’92 (YK92), a group that was formed to drum up support for President Daniel arap Moi in the 1992 election.
In January 2006, Ruto declared publicly that he would stand for the presidency in the next general election, scheduled for December 2007. His statement was condemned by some of his KANU colleagues, including former president Daniel arap Moi. Ruto sought the nomination of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) as its presidential candidate, but in the party’s vote on 1 September 2007, he placed third with 368 votes, behind the winner, Raila Odinga (with 2,656 votes) and Musalia Mudavadi (with 391). Ruto expressed his support for Odinga after the vote. He resigned from his post as KANU secretary general on 6 October 2007.
The presidential election of December 2007 ended in an impasse. The Kenya’s electoral comission declared Kibaki the winner while exit polls had clearly placed Raila Odinga in front. Raila and ODM claimed victory. In a scene that has been replicated all over Africa, Mwai Kibaki was hurriedly sworn in as the president December 2007 presidential election. What followed was mayhem and bloodbath that no one foresaw. Following the violent political crisis over the results, Kibaki and Odinga agreed to form a power-sharing government. In the grand coalition Cabinet named on 13 April 2008 and sworn in on 17 April,Ruto was appointed as Minister for Agriculture.
On 21 April 2010, President Mwai Kibaki and his Prime Minister Raila Odinga removed Ruto from the agriculture ministry, and transferred him to the higher education ministry, swapping posts with Sally Kosgei.
Controversy
William Ruto was on trial charged with defrauding the Kenya Pipeline Company of huge amounts of money through dubious land deals, but he has been out on bond. The Constitutional Court suspended further hearing of the case due to complaints by Ruto that the prosecution was politically engineered. However, the High Court cleared the path for criminal charges against the Higher Education minister over the alleged sale of a piece of land in Ngong’ forest to Kenya Pipeline Company Ltd.
Maize Scandal
In early 2009 after parliamentary debate on a maize scandal, Ruto was accused of illegally selling maize by Ikolomani MP Bonny Khalwale (Public Accounts Committee Chairman). All the documents bearing the National Cereals and Produce Board seal that linked Mr Ruto to the illegal sale of maize were accepted by Parliament’s deputy speaker.[11]
Managers of the board stated maize was allocated to some individuals allegedly on the strength of a call by Mr Ruto.[1] Ttables showed that the cereals board had in store 2.6 million bags of maize in June 2008 and had allocated maize to companies and individuals described as undeserving. Mr Ruto had informed the House that the maize in the stores at the time was 1.6 million bags. William Ruto attributed the maize scandal allegations and claims of his involvement in corruption to the work of his “political enemies”.
New Constitution
While Ruto and Odinga are both from the Orange Democratic Movement of the power-sharing government, they disagree on the issue of the proposed constitution draft with Ruto calling for rejection of the draft in the upcoming constitutional referendum, arguing that some of its clauses are unsuitable while Odinga and Kibaki are campaigning in its favour.
