CONCERNED NOBLE WANGARI MAATHAI WRITES
It is almost three weeks since the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) announced the results of the disputed Presidential Elections and declared President Kibaki the winner.
Almost immediately, the country was thrown into the current crisis that refuses to go away.
The ECK may have an argument as to why it got rid of both the local and international press before making the announcement exclusively before the State-owned Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC).
THERE MAY ALSO BE REASONS WHY the swearing in ceremony was so hurriedly conducted at State House shortly after the announcement.
However, many people wonder whether ECK had something to hide. The fact that ECK has already admitted to being under tremendous pressure to announce results, even as some commissioners were admitting that there were irregularities, only puts doubt in the credibility of the results.
To those who are conversant with political games of intrigue and trickery, this was just another situation in the games politicians in this region play. The only “misfortune” is that someone got caught.
Under “normal circumstances”, leaders in Africa do not lose elections they organise! Such “fixed election games” would go undetected and elections would be declared largely “free and fair”.
Political champions will advice that if you are not willing to play such games, you have no business being in politics for you are bound to lose. It is at the altar of our politics that values like transparency, honesty and accountability are often conveniently sacrificed. It is also here that bribery of voters, election officials, government officers as well as theft and manipulation of votes are given the label of “political wisdom”.
If you are not caught, you get away with it and may even be called a ‘professor of politics’. Indeed, I am advised that politics is the art of the possible and values count for nothing. This is most unfortunate because it is this kind of politics that is responsible for the inability of this region, and our country for that matter, to move forward.
Many ordinary people, who supported President Kibaki, believe that “God” was on their side and performed a miracle, helping them outmaneouvre ODM. They are largely unaware of the long term implications of being perceived as a community that stole votes and assumed power against the wishes the majority.
To these masses, the killing and the displacement of their own from certain regions is the “work of the devil and God will intervene”. The masses are not aware of how their elites use them in their struggle for power.
On the other hand, President Kibaki’s elite colleagues may not believe in divine intervention. But if nothing happens to stop them, they will nevertheless smile all the way to the Cabinet and enjoy the spoils. With all the instruments of power at their disposal, President Kibaki and his advisors can afford to continue engaging others in futile discussions for the longest time, irrespective of the damage the impasse is causing the country because they believe they have nothing to lose.
This may be because, many of those who supported President Kibaki are looking for a solution but not one that contemplates President Kibaki losing some of the powers that “God” has now given him. They are praying that Raila will “see the light” and leave the President alone to do the work that “God” has assigned to him. So they too, are not eager for dialogue and concessions.
Unfortunately for the government and the suffering masses, ODM may not relent. The ODM finds it incomprehensible that they are not the ones “wearing the crown”. They want to do everything to have the crown given back to them.
HE ODM WILL CONTINUE TO PUT pressure in the hope that the Government will take reconciliatory steps, more so for the sake of the suffering masses.
The unfortunate messy performance by the ECK only serves to give ODM public sympathy and energise their supporters. To date, hundreds of people have been killed, thousands displaced and properties destroyed, especially through burning and looting. Leaders have appealed to those causing mayhem to stop the violence, but few seem to heed that call.
The tragedy is that, despite all the suffering, the move towards dialogue is extremely slow. Perhaps more public and international pressure is needed for the leaders to seek a lasting solution.
I appeal to the international community to continue putting pressure on President Kibaki, Raila Odinga and their teams to put the welfare of Kenyans before their own personal ambitions, and dialogue for a political and legal settlement sooner than later.

HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAFIE
MK wishes all Kenyans a prosperous new year. Do not cast your lot with politicians. They will only destroy you and then leave you to stew in your broth. Unite and demand your rights, not supporting certain politicians in the hope that you will be nominated to this or that position. Make your resolution to do something for the deaf this year, while at the same time reaching for your goals.
God bless Deaf Kenyans.
MK.
God bless Deaf Kenyans.

Is Raila Paying for those adverts?
The adverts by Nickson Kakiri on disability kenyas website are driven by sycophancy. Raila will win alright, but the idea that he will give certain deaf big seats in his government is misplaced. Are those ODM adverts in disability kenya website paid for? Its sad that we are willing to stoop this low just to win slots in the next government. Will that benefit the deaf people? MK urges the deaf people to fight for what is genuine. Do no fight for individual seats since that is futile!!!

From Washington Opiyo
Dear Leila,
It is really great that the organizing committee is taking our
suggestions
more serious. It also appears that things at the 2008 AIDS conference
will be effectual
It would be a great idea to have international interpreters at the
conference to make information accessible to all participants from
different
countries. I have two professional international interpreters in mind,
however, WFD would be of great assistance.
I look forward to seeing all of you there...

Mzee Kiziwi receives this abusive comment
Dear Mzee Kiziwi,
Please do not be narrow minded, idiotic and senile.
The article on Mzee Bubu did not mention any names or refer to any one in specific. It is very embarrasing to see this commentator call names and bubble words hurling insults at different people. S/He should be ashamed of themselves and find a hole to hide themselves.
Whoever it is you cannot hide from the TRUTH.
NGOs like Deaf Aid, GDC, CMB, SHIA/Deaf Blind project, Sense International, etc have failed the Deaf people in Kenya.
KNAD has failed the membership. It concentrated on the politics and forgot the important things of nurturing the membership. Imagine all Deaf Kenyans giving atleast 100 bob a month - We would have alot of money for development and not beg Sweden and the like to fund our activities.
Kenyan Governement has failed the Deaf people. It is true we need to respect and work with the government BUT as taxpaying Kenyans WE HAVE TO DEMAND provison of essential service! GoK has not given the Deaf anything to celebrate in the last 44yeears of independence.
We need the following from the above groups of people!
1. Recognition of Kenyan Sign Language as the official language of the Deaf in Kenya. With this we will have research into the language, documentation of the same, Trainign of teachers and interpreters.
2. Amendment of the Disability Act to explicitly mention the Deaf as a sociolinguistic minority with unique needs and aspirations.
3. Advocate that the organizations working with the Deaf to be veted and regulated by the various bodies and these must include Deaf indiividuals as board members, staff and beneficiaries.
4. Deaf people themselves to get out of their fatalism mentality and be among those fighting for their own liberation.
5. It is ashaming to see the like of Kevin Warnke, Jean Claude, Joel Runnels, Penny May, Morrisey, K. Henderson, Shane Mwangi coming to Kenya, establishing 'businesses' and gaining lots of money in salaries and benefits in the name of the Deaf in Kenya. I wonder if Togo for instance has a Deaf Association? or an Education system for the Deaf students? BUT Jean Claude purportedly is in Kenya as a good will ambassador! FUCK!!!!!!!
In Norway and Scandinavian countries it is very scarse to find many interpreters - why can't Deaf Aid and SHIA train and supply that demand up there??? they have to come to Kenya.
Hypocrates!!!!
The USA is very ahead in amny of the issues of Deafness BUT we do not want to have degenerates being posted to Kenya inform of Joels and peace corps volunteers. Their contributions are vlauble BUT until they view the Kenyans as partners they will keep giving us more and more white elephants to add to our wildlife collection.
6. We need more blogs like this one. For the dunderheads who do not understand a blog - it is a public diary with private thoughts. Deaf Kenyans do tis kind of gossip on the street anytime every day at Ambassaduer hotel, KENCOM....for those uptight and fear the blog - Meza Wembe. Kubaffu Bure KAbisa.
7. Justice is needed for ll the people who have been implecated in embaselemnt of funds, we must have a clear process of justcie.
those are 7 strong points you can publish Mzee Kiziwi and stop being a PNU sympathezer!
