SECURITY TALK IS COVER UP FOR CORRUPTION AND ELECTION DEFEAT

The current campaign of intimidation of key Opposition politicians including ODM Deputy Party Leader Mr Ali Hassan Joho, Kilifi governor Amason Kingi and a host of our MPs is clearly intended to divert national debate from the grand thefts at the National Youth Service, the Youth Enterprise and Development Fund, Huduma Centres and of Euro Bond.
The charade championed by Joseph Nkaissery and Nelson Marwa is also meant to divert attention from Jubilee’s electoral theft in Kericho and its failed attempt to steal elections in Malindi.
The inclusion of the names of Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka in Nkaissery’s list of leaders to lose body guards is meant to escalate the diversion of attention and get corruption and Jubilee’s poor show in the by-elections off the national radar.
Tales of massive theft of public funds executed by trusted appointees and personal friends of President Uhuru Kenyatta have continued to emerge and make it to the headlines even during the intense electioneering in Kericho and Malindi.
The latest is the massive theft at the Youth Enterprise Development Fund in which Mr Bruce Odhiambo, a personal friend of President Kenyatta and former Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru are implicated.
This is in addition to the now well-documented theft at the National Youth Service, the Huduma Centres and of Euro Bond funds.
The President has remained tight lipped on these thefts after initially rallying to the defense of Ms. Waiguru. He is hoping the talk about body guards and guns diverts Kenyans from the theft by his associates. The theft at NYS and Youth Fund constitute painful betrayal of the youth. A regime that steals from its youth and feels nothing about it is certainly killing their future and feeling nothing about it.
We appeal to all Kenyans to see through the smokescreen that Jubilee is struggling to pull over our eyes and continue demanding that Uhuru Kenyatta takes action on his associates and personal friends who have looted public coffers.
Kenyans must demand that President Kenyatta and the Jubilee regime take a public stand on these acts of theft and champion the resignation, arrest and prosecution of the thieves. No amount of scapegoating will wash.
