Chameleon' - the computer virus that spreads through wi-fi

Computer viruses now live up to
their name: thanks to British
researchers wi-fi networks can
now infect each other just like a
common cold works.

It is the stuff of cyber
nightmares: an undetectable
virus that moves through the
airwaves. But researchers at the
University of Liverpool have
made it a reality. They have
shown, for the first time, that wi-
fi networks can be infected via
their access points, rather than
computers – living not in the
internet, but in the wi-fi space.
In densely populated areas where
wi-fi hotspots were prevalent,
the "Chameleon" virus – which
was designed by researchers at
the university's school of
computer science and electrical
engineering and electronics –
could spread as quickly as the
common cold.
They proved this by simulating –
in a laboratory environment –
attacks on London and Belfast.
Densely populated areas had
more access points in close
proximity, and so the virus
spread more quickly. Their
research was published in the
European Association for Signal
Processing's Journal on
Information Security.
"When 'Chameleon' attacked an
access point, it didn't affect how
it worked, but was able to collect
and report the credentials of all
other wi-fi users who connected
to it," said Alan Marshall,
professor of network security at
the university. "The virus then
sought out other wi-fi access
points that it could connect to and
infect."
Professor Basie von Solms,
director of the Centre for Cyber
Security at the University of
Johannesburg, said that what
makes "Chameleon" novel is that
it "lives" in the wi-fi cyberspace,
and attacks via access points.
"They have proved now, in a
controlled environment, that such
a virus can spread very quickly
via wi-fi, which was not so clear
before.
"Also, because it 'lives' in the 'wi-
fi cyber space', it is not detected
because it never really infects a
computer directly."
Open access
"While many access points are
sufficiently encrypted and
password protected, the virus
simply moved on to find those
which weren't strongly
protected, including open access
wi-fi points common in locations
such as coffee shops and
airports," the University of
Liverpool said.
Current virus detection
programmes look for viruses
present on computers or the
internet, not on the wi-fi
network itself.
However, Von Solms said it
remains theoretical because "if
such a virus is used for malicious
purposes … it will have some
kind of payload which will infect
computers and other devices,
because that is where the desired
data and information reside".
Von Solms said this research
showed that cyberspace is
constantly evolving and urged
caution for all users.

Synovate Research: UhuRuto RATED worst, as HALF of Central Kenya REGRET VOTING JUBILEE

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee hits low
marks in survey
National approval of the Jubilee Government
appears to be plummeting, with the latest
opinion poll revealing that most Kenyans think
the country is heading in the wrong direction.
And the media remains the most trusted
institution at 68 per cent, higher even than
President Uhuru Kenyatta’s approval rating of 53
per cent, in the same opinion poll released
yesterday by Ipsos Synovate.
The study has come at a time Uhuru’s
administration continues to battle rising
perception that it is unfriendly to the media and
non-governmental organisations and is doing too
little to stem the growing cost of living and
insecurity.
The survey reveals that as many as six out of 10
Kenyans (or 64 per cent) believe the Jubilee
Government is taking Kenya the wrong way.
That is a whole two-thirds of the people sampled
in the survey. Only a minority (29 per cent) said
things are going in the right direction. Among
issues seen to be sinking the approval ratings of
the eight-month old Jubilee regime are its failure
to address the high cost of living, corruption in
government, greed among elected leaders and
the increased incidences of insecurity.
participants
in the
survey were
asked what
they liked
least about
the Jubilee
regime,
three out of
10 (35 per
cent) said
the Uhuru
and Ruto-
led team
has failed to address the high cost of living, while
17 per cent pointed to alleged corruption in
government. INSECURITY CHALLENGE Twelve
per cent of participants in the survey saw the
insecurity challenge as an unsolved issue.
It is only in Central Kenya where the President
enjoys support, with most respondents (54 per
cent) polled saying the country is heading in the
right direction. But a significant minority (37 per
cent) in the same region said things are not so
rosy.
Surprisingly, some of the strongest disapprovals
are from Rift Valley, the backyard of Deputy
President Ruto, with half the people polled (52
per cent) saying the country is heading in the
wrong direction. Ruto’s United Republican Party
( URP) is in the ruling Jubilee coalition that
included Uhuru’s The National Alliance party.
Some in URP are said to be unhappy with the
manner in which jobs in government are being
dished out, saying Rift Valley has gotten a raw
deal despite URP being a key player in Jubilee.
Not surprisingly, the strongest disapproval came
from Nyanza, the home ground of former Prime
Minister and Uhuru’s main political rival, Raila
Odinga, with an overwhelming 89 per cent
respondents stating the country is going in the
wrong direction. Other areas where Jubilee
received the strongest disapproval ratings
include Coast (85 per cent) and Western (78 per
cent), both strongholds of CORD as
well as Nairobi (72 per cent) and North Eastern
(68 per cent). Most people (62 per cent) in
Eastern also believe things are heading in the
wrong direction. Even worse, more than half of
those polled in the survey (52 per cent) believe
the Jubilee government has done “nothing”
during the time it has been office. That figure is
significantly higher than those who believe that
free maternal healthcare is a key achievement
(30 per cent) of the Jubilee regime. COST OF
LIVING Asked about the most serious problems
facing the country currently, Kenyans surveyed
cited high cost of living, lack of employment
opportunities, crime or insecurity and corruption
in that order.
“As the rate of inflation has continued to creep
up since June this year, the big increase in
concern with this issue is seen between
November 2012 and November 2013,” said
Synovate’s Research Analyst Tom Wolf while
releasing the results yesterday.
Kenyans also cited leadership wrangles in Jubilee
due to cases in the International Criminal Court
as being as serious as tribalism in the country,
followed by the threat of terrorism. Among the
things that some Kenyans like about the Jubilee
government is the free maternal healthcare in
which expectant mothers don’t pay delivery fees
in public health facilities.
They also like the youthful or energetic
leadership of President Kenyatta and his Deputy
William Ruto as well as other elected leaders The
opinion poll was done on the first nine days of
November through face-to-face interviews of
2060 Kenyans across the country.
The margin-of-error attributed to sampling and
other random effect of this poll’s sample size is
+/- 2.2 with a 95 per cent confidence level. When
participants were also asked to rate 23 public
institutions and officials in terms of how much
trust they have in them. Nine out of 23 of those
obtained higher scores in terms of distrust
compared to trust.
Among the best performing institutions in the
trust index is the media (68 per cent) followed
by a distant second by the Kenya Defence Forces
(32 per cent), whose credibility took a serious
beating after they faced claims of mishandling
the security operation against the attackers of
the Westgate Shopping Mall in September this
year.

FACEBOOK to PULL OUT of Uganda over Museveni Anti-Gay Law!

The Western world continued with varied
reactions to Uganda’s signing of anti-gay bill that
effectively sends LBGT offenders to a life in
prison.
Joining the fray are multi-national social media
companies Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp
which have threatened to suspend Operations In
Uganda due to the Anti-gay law.
Facebook’s chief operations officer, Sheryl Kara
Sandberg, has issued a statement that they are
reviewing their engagement in Uganda after
President Museveni yesterday signed the Anti
Gay Bill into law.
“When we launched Facebook, we thought it as
a platform to advance people’s rights and
liberties of self expression in all form. We were
equally shocked to learn that Uganda as a country
had gone ahead to sign the Anti Homosexuality
bill into a law” reads Facebook’s statement.
“Facebook is currently reviewing its engagement
to Uganda, as we seek to come up with a voice to
express our dissatisfaction. And of course,
suspending our operations in Uganda is one of
the options we are considering. In the event that
we suspend operations in Uganda, our platforms
of Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp will be off
for a time we shall deem necessary,” continues
the statement.
“We
strongly
condemn
the act of
the
Ugandan
Government
to overstep
the rights of
a
minority. All humans are created equal and
deserve a right to freedom and happiness”.
In July last year, Facebook, a staunch supporter of
the LGBTQ community in America, had its 700
workers employees, including Mark Zuckerberg,
as well as former Super Bowl champion Brendon
Ayanbadejo, march in the San Francisco Pride
Parade to show their support for the LGBTQ
community.

SHOCK: Another Pastor (from the same region) found Dead in a Woman’s bedroom in Buruburu

Pastor Geoffrey Maingi of Redeemed Gospel
Church (New Life Temple) here in Nairobi
collapsed and died yesterday in the house of a
Buruburu woman in what speculators believe is a
case of ‘excessive sexual arousal’ or something
close to that, Holy Mary!
The man of cloth’s body was found in the
woman’s bedroom. Lifeless and cold, the spirit
had apparently left him for a return journey to
heaven before police arrived. This comes days
after another pastor who hails from the same
region was found grazing in another man’s
pasture field.
Maingi, 70, had driven into the compound of the
female worshipper for what the woman termed
as a “prayer session” when he died.
“He has been coming for prayers in my house
and apart from him being my pastor, he is my
friend and that is why he comes for prayer
sessions,” the woman said at the scene.
The woman had separated with her husband last
year over domestic differences. She was
questioned and released as investigations into
the death continue. Buruburu OCPD Charles
Kerich said they were yet to know the cause of
the death.
“We will
know what
caused the
death after
carrying out
a post-
mortem
exercise on
the body.
We cannot
speculate
for now,”
he said.
He added that they carried several samples of
evidence from the house that they will test as
part of efforts to establish the cause of his death.
The death attracted a huge crowd outside the
house amid claims he may have died out of a
heart attack caused by sexual enhancement
tablets. Other followers from the church arrived
at the scene and drove off Maingi’s car to avoid
being filmed by journalists.

Old man digs his own grave after he was visited at night by JESUS in Taita Taveta

Tuesday 18th February 2014 - An
octogenarian from a village in
Taita Taveta County has shocked
many after he dug his own grave
in preparation for his death
claiming that Jesus visited him at
night.
Felix Kalema aged 83, a pastor at
the Pentecostal Assembly Church
in Taita Taveta County alleged that
Jesus called him at night and told
him that his time was neigh and
he should be prepared. He
explained that the visit was not
once or twice but thrice proving
that indeed he is about to join
Jesus in heaven.
However, his greatest fear is that
he may never get to finish
building a church he started in
2003, a few metres from his grave.
Kalema said that his only worry
was that he may not be able to
fulfill his dream of building a
church because of his advanced
age.

Lost in infatuation

By Tagawah
Sheila Anyaga loved him. It was the way he made her feel inside when they were together.
She liked the way his eyes gleamed in the sunlight or the way he held her hand as they
walked to their favourite place on earth — a pond near her house.
She loved it when he ran his fingers throughher hair as they gazed at the stars and the
distant moon. She did not care much that he did not like to talk about their future together
but she figured it would all come to pass.
“Let’s not rush in,” he would say, “Tomorrow is not promised to anyone so let’s live for the now.”
They would make love. They always did even after he refused to dream with her. He was sure-footed and he made her feel secure, wanted and loved.
She thought he was cute when they first met outside the principal’s office two weeks into the school year.
“Hi, you must be the new teacher,” she had said to him.
“Yes, I am. How did you know?”
“I’ve never seen you before.”
“And for that you assumed that I was the one?”
She liked the way he said “the one” — confident and poised. He was youthful and charismatic. Almost a boyish charm.
He was kind to everyone he met, from the janitors to the cooks and other staff members. He knew them by name and always stopped to ask how they were doing.
“Daudi, how is your son Amos?” He would ask the school groundsman. “Is he still taking his
medicine? Tell him I say hello and that I hope to see him up on his feet soon.”
Or to loud-mouth Janet, the school nurse who everyone hated for discussing private issues publicly, he would ask, “How was your trip to see your mother? Is she still making those tasty samosas? Tell her I am
still waiting for my dinner invitation.”
He genuinely touched everyone he met with his positive outlook on life, even in the gloomiest moment of anyone’s day. She liked that about him. Who wouldn’t?
He smiled often, an infectious smile that was quickly followed by laughter.
Sheila enjoyed what she called “his vision of the world.” A world of endless possibilities. He encouraged his students to dream big, to re-imagine and re-invent their lives and to never ever be victims of their circumstances.

She overheard him telling a group of students that it was better
to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.  He told
personal tales of triumph and failure, pain and joy, happiness
and sorrow. He was a teacher but his stories, which he shared
with anyone who would listen, made him much more than that,
they made him one of “us.”
“Did you always want to be a teacher?” Sheila asked him one
day.
He smiled at her and she felt her heart skip a beat.
“Yes.” He did not even hesitate. “I knew that I wanted to become
a teacher, just like Mrs Owuor, my English teacher when I was a
young boy.”
They talked for a while after school that day and many days after that. He captivated her with his travels — the distant places he had been and the books he had read. She lost herself in his world so much so that when one day, after all the students had left, he reached over and kissed her and she found herself opening up to him.
That was how it started.
Ever since that day, Sheila started reading books that he had read, she started talking like he did, flaring her arms this way and that way. She even started wearing her hair down, just like he liked it.
He then asked her to guard their secret carefully, telling her that if anyone found out they would both be suspended and so she kept mostly to herself, it was safer that way.
During her lunch hour, she took walks along the corridors of the school hoping to run into him, to see him, to be around him and when their eyes met, they both smiled knowingly. They looked forward to their evening trysts, and as time went on, Saturday mornings alone.
She was not the only one changing. He had started coming home late to a wife and a daughter who adored him, blaming longer school days for his tardiness. He said the new job was demanding, that the administration was asking too much of him and that was why he was too tired to make love to her.
He started skipping on their date nights, their monthly trips to see in-laws saying that he had to be in
school for a meeting or for collaborative lesson-planning. He promised to make it up to her but days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months.
And then it happened.
His wife followed him to school one Saturday morning, suspecting that he was doing more that planning lessons. She found him in the classroom on top of Sheila.
“Oh my God!” she exclaimed.
“It is not what you think, honey,” He said as he pulled up his pants and ran after her, leaving Sheila on the floor.
Sheila heard him pleading for clemency and all her mercies but his wife had had enough. The only thing she said to him was that she wanted a divorce and she ran off and disappeared in the distance.
He walked back to Sheila with his head bowed, his eyes moistening. She was now straightening out her blouse and after she was done she pulled up her tight blue jeans then put on her sneakers.
“I am so sorry about this, Sheila,” he started, his voice
breaking. “I meant to tell you sooner but I never found the right
time. But it’s ok now, I am going to get a divorce and now we
can be together.”
She looked at him and started walking out.
“Please, Sheila. I have no one but you. Don’t you see? You are
now my only one. She is gone and without you I have nothing.”
He looked old and dejected, the shell of the man she thought she loved. She noticed his receding hairline, his smoke-stained teeth and his big callous hands that had massaged her tender breasts.
“I cannot be with you anymore,” she whispered to him.
He was astounded.
“But why? Haven’t I been nice to you? What do you want me to do? I’ll do whatever you want.”
She looked at him again. She noticed his bulging mid-section that had laid on her as he grunted with pleasure, his hairy chest rubbing against her chin. She felt used and dirty. She felt bad for his wife and what she had done to her and for lying to her parents about evening and weekend tutoring. But most of all, she felt lost and deceived.
“Sheila,” he continued pleading, “Don’t you want to be with me? Don’t you love me?”
She stopped at the door and looked at him, one last time.
“Mr Juma, I am only 16 years old.”
She walked out.

You think am mean...!!?

By Vincent Oketch

If you think making money is easy,try
making yours and spend on others or
treat others the way you need,but
never call someone "mean" on his/
her money. Where is yours? Make
yours so that we see you spend it.
It hurts me when a grown up,a
university student rudely talks to his
parents over the phone because of
cash and widely opens his chatter-
box telling friends how his parents
are mean.
Honestly,your dad is just a primary
teacher,there is no any other source
of income apart from his salary,he
managed your fee up to the
university,think of your siblings
too,they are in
school,food,clothes,transport and
shelter is in budget. Surely,when will
some people open their eyes and see.
Don't be with high class friends,when
you not,their parents have,you are
demeaning your own biological
parents because of some friends you
met yesterday with bad influence. For
Goodness sake,are you fair and
listening to yourself.
Fall in love with a lady of your
class,not all women fall in love
because of cash,there are those who
don't need your cash but just your
personality. Being proud of you the
way you are,seeing future in you than
your current,leave being seen with
some star or standing lady,just have
some simple,down to earth person
who can understand you.
Don't start drinking or using
drugs,having some classy clothes or
eat good meals because your friends
do,first thing get to know yourself.
Some will laugh at you,but your
determination and focus will help you
pass them.
That phone call was one of the
irritating one have ever heard,seems
people with parents never use the
opportunity to build themselves but
frustrates the lives of their
parents,and to the youths,just mind
what you are saying,its effects and
your efforts to building your life to
better levels not someone building it
for you.

WILLIAM RUTO bribed an ICC WITNESS number 036 with Sh 2 MILLION to recant his testimony – BENSOUDA REVEALS

By Tagawah

Thursday February 13, 2014 -
Deputy President, William Ruto, is
alleged to have bribed an
International Criminal Court (ICC)
witness to recant his testimony.
This is according to ICC Chief
Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, who
said it is highly likely that William
Ruto’s men approached witness
number 036 and bribed him with
Sh 2 million to recant his
testimony.
Bensouda alleges that the witness
was bribed at a hotel in Nairobi a
day before his flight to The Hague.
In her submission to the court -
the ICC prosecutor also alleges
that the witness had been offered
a Sh2 million bribe to withdraw as
a witness and returned to Eldoret
to consider the offer.
She also revealed that she received
a telephone call from the
witness’s wife who sent a message
to Bensouda’s team saying “bye
be…fore ever” signaling that her
husband had broken all
cooperation with the Prosecution.
Bensouda now wants the ICC court
to compel the Kenyan Government
to produce those witnesses who
have been bribed by the defence.
But in a tough response to
Bensouda’s remarks, Ruto’s
lawyer Karim Khan denied these
accusations and accused Bensouda
of conducting shoddy
investigations.

UHURU/ RUTO were beaten by RAILA ODINGA in March 4th Election - US academics says - He did not get 50 percent of votes!

Wednesday February 12, 2014 -
In what could appear to be
vindicating former Prime Minister
Raila Odinga’s assertions that his
victory was stolen during the
March 4th poll, two US
academicians have indicated that
no Presidential candidate in the
March 4th poll attained the 50
percent mark.
In an exit poll commissioned by a
panel of academics from
Universities of Washington and
California, neither President
Uhuru Kenyatta nor Raila Odinga
hit the 50+1 percent threshold.
The exit poll interviewed 6,258
voters as they left 404 polling
stations spread all over 47
Counties.
The enumerators randomly
selected every second voter
leaving polling stations and had an
88 percent response rate on the
interviews which were
transmitted live on android OS
platform.
The exit poll indicated that Raila
Odinga received 40.9 percent of
the vote while Uhuru Kenyatta
received 40.6 percent.
This adds credence to former
Prime Minister’s stand that
President Uhuru Kenyatta was
rigged into office and there could
have been a run-off.
The heads of research were Karen
Ferree and Clark Gibson of
University of California and James
Long of the University of
Washington.

MANCHESTER CITY midfield powerhouse FERNANDINHO thrilled by BRAZIL national team call up.

Wednesday, February 12, 2014 -
Manchester City midfield maestro,
Fernandinho, has expressed his
delight at being called up to the
Brazil squad for the international
friendly against South Africa
slated for March 5.
Fernandinho who joined
Manchester City from Shakhtar
Donetsk last summer  in a £30m
deal, has been a key figure in
Manuel Pellegrini’s side and his
exploits have caught the eye of
Brazil coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari.
The 28- year old who is currently
sidelined with muscle injury has
vowed to impress so that he can
secure a place in Brazil squad for
the 2014 FIFA World Cup at home
soil.
He said: "I arrived at home after
training, and the telephone began
to ring.
"I was really anxious to find out if
my name was on the list. It was an
immense joy for me.
"It's a big challenge for me. If I
get the opportunity to show what I
can do, I'll do my best to be on the
final list for the World Cup."
Fernandinho also hailed his move
from Ukraine to England as a step
up in his career as the Premier
League has given him more
exposure.
He added: "The move was very
important for me.
"I have grown a lot as a player,
but I can't speak badly of the
Ukraine as I had good times there.
"What I did there is done, in the
past, and now I'm in a good phase
here at City. I've grown in every
way.
"Here the exposure is much
greater and perhaps this is the
reason I've been called up to the
national team."

Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto were not in Waki envelope

Kenya: Nandi Senator Stephen Sang
has said Jubilee will use parliamentary
procedures and process to reveal the
contents of the Waki envelope for
possible prosecution by the Director of
Public Prosecutions.
Senator sang said they will push for
prosecution of the persons mentioned
in the Philip Waki envelope at the
Special International Crimes High
Court Division upon its establishment.
The legislator disclosed that they will
also seek to establish how the former
prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo
narrowed down to the six names.
The lawyer added that their action was
necessitated by the premise of the
possibility that neither Uhuru nor Ruto
were mentioned in the letter given
that the entire process was politically
motivated to manipulate Kenyans to
certain premeditated outcomes.
“But I am excited that Kenyans were
alive to this and were not misguided.
It is very easy to know the culprits
behind the orchestrations given the
remarks by certain diplomats that
were cautioning Kenyans that choices
had consequences months to the
elections,” offered Sang.
Sang was optimistic that the cases will
crumble within the first half of 2014
given that the defense would pick up
the revelation as part of their evidence.
“They have confirmed the reason why
we passed motions withdrawing from
the Rome Statute because we had
carefully analysed that their operations
were politically motivated thus
withholding justice.”
He affirmed that the recent revelation
did not just confirm their fears but
was also testimony to the fact that the
case’s major driving force was to block
Uhuru, Ruto presidency based on
drummed up charges and vendetta.
However, senate majority leader
Kithure Kindiki differs fundamentally
with the approach picked by his
colleagues because it can only act to
further balkanize and frustrate the
reconciliatory efforts realised so far
realized.
“I think the discussion should be
currently centered around how we
can bring closure to what happened
in 2007/8 but not through criticism,
settling political scores but through
judicial redress, accountability and
social restoration process,” he stated
Kindiki observes that this would have
been best realised through a credible
truth justice and reconciliation process
but regrets that the Truth Justice and
Reconciliation Commission’s Process
was squandered by political intrigues.
“It is devastating to know that Ocampo
created a lot of false hope for the
2007/8 pose election violence victims,
which is so sad. It is now clear that he
will not deliver justice even to the
victims, a situation that takes us back
to the drawing board,” he moaned.
He raised concern that a court of such
stature would stoop so low and act
under pressure from third parties and
conduct proceeding based on
extraneous factors other than justice.
“Some of us who were part of the
defense had raised these concerns at
the very early stages of the case that it
was based on rumors and secondary
information while largely relying on
third parties like NGOs that luck
investigatory powers.
They had also complained that the
case was politicised but wondered
how all the six Kenyans dragged in the
very expensive process and whose
names were tarnished would be
compensated.
“Under the national legal system there
is suing for malicious prosecution. I
doubt the ICC has such,” he
questioned.

The MISSING Uhuru TOP Advisor- Albert Muriuki worked at the ICC in 2007

Nairobi, Kenya : Fresh details have emerged
about a senior State House official who
disappeared mysteriously, even as detectives
indicated investigations had hit a brick wall so
far.
According to documents in the The Standard’s
possession, Albert Muriuki worked for under two
months since he was officially appointed to work
at State House, before his shocking
disappearance on December 24 last year.
Mr Muriuki was part of the team advising
President Uhuru Kenyatta on legal and
constitutional affairs and he deputised former
Mandera Central MP Abdikadir Mohammed.
His appointment letter, dated November 6 last
year, was signed by State House Comptroller
Lawrence Lenayapa. “I am pleased to inform you
that you have been offered appointment in the
grade of Deputy Director, Constitutional and
Legislative Affairs, Job Group ‘R’ on the Local
Agreement terms of service for an initial period
of three years with effect from the date you
report on duty,” the letter reads in part.
Between
May and
July 2007,
Muriuki
worked as
an intern at
the
International Criminal Court (ICC)-Office of the
Presidency, before proceeding to Columbia
University.
His internship certificate was signed by the first
ICC President Philippe Kirsch and then Registrar
Bruno Cathala.
However, ICC Outreach Co-ordinator in Kenya
Maria Kamara said she did not know the man.
“It’s not possible to know all staff members and
interns,” she responded to our inquiries.
According to the police abstract at Central Police
Station, the disappearance was reported on
January 10,  many days after he went missing.
His mother, Dr Naomi Mutea, a senior lecturer at
Kimathi University in Nyeri, said she thought her
son would contact the family as he called a
colleague on December 30.
“We thought maybe he had just switched off his
phone and would get back to us because he was
to get back to work on January 8,” she said.
His mother said her son’s documents, including
ID Card, bank cards, telephone and laptop were
left on his bed in Westlands where he lived.
The Standard has also established that she wrote
to the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) on January 24
requesting help to trace her son.
Sunday, top LSK officials admitted that they were
in receipt of the letter and turned the heat on the
police for taking “unreasonably long to unearth
the mysterious disappearance of a man that was
at the apex of the civil service.”
“We have been giving police time to unearth this
mystery, but they have taken unreasonably long,
which is unacceptable,” said LSK Chief Executive
Officer Apollo Mboya.
The CID
“This was a senior member of State House
personnel whose disappearance should cause
concern,” he added.
According to the LSK, they raised the matter
with Mohammed, who was his boss, and further
with Attorney General Githu Muigai.
“LSK did contact Abdikadir Mohammed, his boss
who confirmed that Albert has been missing but
said that the matter is with the CID who are
handling the issue,” Mr Mboya noted. According
to details from his mother, Muriuki allegedly
visited Kalee Cafe in Nairobi on December 30,
which is owned by his uncle, a day after his
mother sent a relative to check on Muriuki’s
residence at Kirinyaga Co-operative flats in
Westlands, where the security guards said they
last saw him on December24

Powerful encouraging message from Vincent Oketch

By Vincent Oketch

Over time I have discovered there is no absolute finish line for everyone in the race of life. Our tracks are different and our durations are different. The only thing we have in common is the same empire. For instance, one person graduates @ age 20 and struggles for another 5 years to get a job, another might graduate @ 25 and get a job immediately. One can marry a virgin and wait for the next decade to have the blessings of children, another lady probably after having series of abortions in her past, becomes a mother almost immediately after marriage. A fellow becomes MD @ 38 and dies @ 56, another becomes MD @ 55 and lives to 90. What a life! Life is full of twists, turns, ups and downs and many more surprises and disappointments. Life offers each one of us different opportunities and once an opportunity is lost, it's gone forever except by the grace of God. It is up to each one of us to patiently prepare, wait, recognise and utilise every opportunity. We learn on the way. No one knows it all or has it better. There is a reason why we all don't fall @ the same time. It's so that when one is down, weak and discouraged, the other who is strong, can encourage and lift the other person. God never promise that the road would be easy but he promised never to leave nor forsake us. Although life is a competition, let us learn to go easy on ourselves and trust that God is working it all out for good (even if it doesn't make sense now). I know that there is a time for everything but most importantly that "  it will come to pass ". Whatever trials, challenges or down time , this too shall pass and in due course, u will be up and strong again to lift up those who maybe down around u......NEVER LOSE HOPE.

LADIES, 9 signs your man is CHEATING on you with another LADY or is LYING to you ...... A few lessons to Kenyan LADIES

By Tagawah

1. KNOW THAT THERE IS NO
ONE SIGN OR CLUSTER OF SIGNS
TO DETECT LIES
There are no clear signs a man is
telling lies (or even a woman). If it
were as cut and dry as
detecting signs then no law
enforcement group would ever be
deceived. What you first have to
do is clear your mind of all you
“think” you know about lie
detection. There are no signs, no
eyes darting to one side, no
scratching of nose that indicates
lies. You have to look at the bigger
picture. Are his tightly crossed
arms that way because he is
lying? Or is he cold? Does he
usually stand like that? Have you
seen him stand like that when
being shouted at by his mother?
You need to examine a whole
scenario and not just single actions
or words.
2. HE HIDES BEHIND COMMON
LIE DETECTION MYTHS
He also believes in lie detection
myths and will try to use them. He
may do things such as looking you
in the eyes, showing his palms,
not fidgeting or breaking his gaze.
If he does this the first time then
he has anticipated your question
(which should arouse your
suspicion). If he is doing it on
subsequent occasions after you
have asked more than once then it
is meaningless because he is
simply trying to make you believe
his first answer.
3. HE DIVERTS WITH AN
HONEST ANSWER
This trick is where a man tells you
an honest answer without
answering your own. “Have you
seen your secretary today?” and
he replies, “She didn’t come to
work today.” Supposing that she
didn’t then it is an honest answer,
but he never actually answered
your question. This is very
suspicious because if the facts
were on his side he would have
said, “No, she didn’t come to
work today” (see the subtle
difference?).
4. HE GETS ANGRY WHEN YOU
ASK
Do not forget that we’ve already
established there are no clear
signs a man is telling lies, and he
may get angry because he is tired
of being asked. But, some men
and women use getting angry as a
defense mechanism. Getting angry
at your question is a manipulative
way of getting you to shut up
about it, so treat it with suspicion.
5. HE SETS UP A POSITIVE
FRAMING IMAGE
A man is asked, “Did you cheat on
your wife?” and he replies, “I
have been happily married for 20
years and have two kids, I love my
family.” As you read above, this is
diverting by giving an honest
answer without actually
answering, but is also setting up a
positive frame. The same is true
when men say, “I am a devout
religious…” or “I have never even
thought about…” It is done to
make you think positive things
about the person. A reliance on
such clever verbal tricks by your
man should arouse your suspicion.
6. GETTING UPSET AND
DIVERTING
This may involve diverting and
positive framing too. You start a
line of questioning that makes him
uncomfortable, so he diverts and
gets upset with, “Don’t you think I
have been through enough?” or
“You are doing just what my ex
wife/girlfriend used to.” Getting
upset is a manipulative tool and
should arouse your suspicion as it
is among the signs someone is
lying.
7. ASK HIM OBTUSE QUESTIONS
He will probably have his story set
out very well, along with several
back up stories that he remembers
perfectly. So, ask him an obtuse
question. “Yeah, it was just me
and Bob in a bar.” So you say,
“Oh, what was he wearing?” or
“Oh, I saw him the other day, has
he shaved off that mustache?”
Obtuse questions will cause him to
think on his feet and he may show
discomfort, which should arouse
your suspicions. Don’t forget that
innocent people often say they
can’t remember, but too many
“Can’t remembers” are
suspicious.
8. THE KILLER “WHY”
When this works, it is very
gratifying for you. Let’s say you
suspect he was at a bar but he is
not going to admit it. Do not
interrogate him hard, or be
aggressive or push, and at some
point ask him something such as,
“Is there any reason why someone
may have seen you at the bar?” Do
not mention who by name or it
will make him discredit that
person. Questions such as this
make him assume you know
something. If he is guilt free then
an immediate “no” (or similar)
will follow. If there is a little guilt
then he will say something such as
“why,” at which point you should
be very suspicious (what’s he
hiding?).
9. THE FINAL QUESTION
After finishing your little
interrogation session you should
ask a final question, such as, “Is
there anything else I should
know?” or “Is there anything you
have left out?” Any discomfort at
this point should arouse your
suspicion. Do not forget that there
are no clear signs a man is telling
lies; all you have read here are
things that may arouse your
suspicion. Asking something such
as “Have you lied?” or “Are you
lying to me?” is not good enough
because it invites an immediate
and easy “no.”

I want UHURU KENYATTA to remain an ICC criminal until his Government hands over EVIDENCE to jail him – BENSOUDA says.

Wednesday February 5, 2014 -
The Office of the Prosecutor at the
International Criminal Court (ICC)
is asking the Trial Chamber V (b)
judges to delay the trial of Kenya’s
President Uhuru Kenyatta until he
hands over what they say is
"critical" evidence in the case.
In a hearing on Wednesday in The
Hague, Bensouda’s team accused
the Kenyan Government of
obstruction of justice, particularly
with its request to access
Kenyatta's financial records.
The Prosecution team said they
are seeking information related to
funding the deadly ethnic violence
that followed the country's 2007
elections.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is
charged with five counts of crimes
against humanity for his alleged
role in orchestrating the violence
that broke out during the 2007-08
post election violence.
In the case, some key witnesses
have withdrawn and what is
remaining is a shell of a case.
But Bensouda’s team has insisted
that the case should not be
terminated until Uhuru’s
Government “hands over all the
necessary documents to prosecute
him.”
“We want Uhuru to remain a jail
bird until his Government hands
over information to the ICC,”
Prosecution counsel, Benjamin
Gumper, told the judges.

WE’LL BE READY FOR YOU: Liverpool custodian MIGNOLET fires warning shot to League Leaders ARSENAL ahead of Saturday’s crunch clash.

Tuesday, February 04, 2014 -
Liverpool goalkeeper, Simon
Mignolet, has warned League
leaders Arsenal to expect a tough
match when they visit Anfield on
Saturday.
Arsene Wenger’s charges face a
tricky trip to the Red half of
Merseyside as they seek to
maintain their lead at the top of
the Premier League table and the
Belgian international says they will
be ‘ready’ for the Gunners.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo
Mignolet said : "We have to look
forward and now we have a
massive game at home next
weekend. We have a whole week
to prepare and ensure we are
ready.
"We have to look at ourselves and
make sure we do the things we
want to do. We'll take the
positives and negatives from West
Brom and look forward to the next
game.
"Unfortunately we didn't manage
to get the three points but we're
still in fourth position."
Liverpool were held to a 1-1
premier League draw by West
Bromwich Albion on Sunday
afternoon.

UHURU KENYATTA will lose the 2017 Presidential Elections badly, RUTO is being used by the KIKUYU - URP rebel, ALFRED KETER, says

Tuesday February 4, 2014 - Nandi
Hills MP, Alfred Keter, has
sensationally said President Uhuru
Kenyatta will lose the 2017
Presidential election badly.
Speaking at Lessos Primary school
during a thanksgiving ceremony
for last year’s KCPE candidates
over the weekend, Keter said
Uhuru will be a one term
president because of the way his
Government is engaging in acts of
corruption and promoting
impunity.
Keter cited the controversial
standard gauge railway tender
and the looming laptop tender
scandal saying President Kenyatta
and his Deputy, William Ruto,
have lost touch with Kenyan
masses who voted them into office
in the last poll.
The fiery lawmaker also repeated
his claims that taxpayers will lose
Sh400 billion in the railway project
and said it should be stopped until
investigations are completed.
“Voters may reject the Jubilee
Government due to corruption.
Kenyans are tired of high levels
corruption which the two leaders
must address instead of being
misled that Jubilee will rule for 20
years,” Keter said.
He also alleged that there is a plot
hatched by Mt Kenya mafia to
dump Ruto before the 2017
Presidential election.
The MP said Ruto was “used” to
announce the unpopular news of
civil servants’ retrenchments so
that he can be crucified the same
way former Prime Minister, Raila
Odinga, was crucified in the
“infamous Mau forest “eviction
during the Coalition Government

I have over 10 new ICC WITNESSES in UHURU KENYATTA’s case - BENSOUDA throws a bombshell

Tuesday February 4, 2014 - The
International Criminal Court (ICC)
Chief Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda,
on Monday shocked President
Uhuru Kenyatta’s defence, after
she said that she had 10 new
witnesses who are ready to testify
against Kenya’s Head of State.
In an urgent application to the
Trial Chamber V (b) judges,
Bensouda, who is a Gambian
national, said she will request the
judges during the status
conference on Wednesday to allow
her introduce ten new witnesses
in Uhuru’s case.
But an ICC insider who requested
anonymity said Bensouda is trying
to salvage an already lost case,
since all indications are that
Uhuru’s case is dead.
“Bensouda should simply dismiss
this case and move on, these flimsy
excuses and innuendos she is
trying to invoke will never salvage
Uhuru’s ICC case, the case is as
good as dead,” the insider said.
On Wednesday, Uhuru’s case
enters a defining moment during
a crucial hearing where his
lawyers will argue for termination
of his trial.
Uhuru’s physical presence is not
required at the Status Conference
scheduled for Wednesday
morning.

A MUST READ!A letter from Vincent Oketch to K.U students.Can he be the next Kenya's big thing in politics !?

By Vincent Oketch

K.U Comrades,we don't need
to blame anyone,lets do it on
our own. Leaders are there to
guide but we can become
successful by leading
ourselves too.
I suppose leadership at one
time meant popular and
known;but today it means
getting along with people,at
one point our valued
comrades went to the polls to
elect their best leaders with
lot of expectation. But with
sudden measure,people are
complaining. Maybe your
leaders are working on
modalities to serve,you never
know,they are.
When some candidates were
stopped from going to their
desired seats and serve the
students,maybe there was a
reason behind it,true leaders
who commence on serving
student are always sacrificed
with K.U but know what you
want,you can be a leader to
those who believe in
you,outside K.U there is also
a chance to lead.
Comrades to me,when I
needed a chance to lead,I had
a plan to change lives,think of
it,when we concentrate too
much on people who doesn't
add value to your life and only
care about themselves,we
waste a lot of time. Stop
waiting for K.U.S.A,reinstated
your life. At one point you will
graduate and become
successful outside,leave the
way for those stopping your
ability.
Am still passionate to serve
comrades and in September
my candidature is
confirmed,if am blocked for
the second time,I won't
shade tears,but leave the jigs
of power to roll. Take a look
of your life and realize this;
Have you ever made a list of
what you want from life?
From the kind of career you
work at to the kind of income
you enjoy ...to your
relationships, your health,
your vacations, material
possessions, spiritual well-
being and more?
If you haven't, it may surprise
you to know that simply
deciding what you want is the
often first and most
important step to getting it.
It's true. Our brain is a goal-
seeking organism. In fact,
scientists now know the brain
uses its own reticular
activating system to filter
through the millions of
images, sounds, impressions
and other messages we
receive each day - to let into
our conscious mind only that
information we need to
survive or meet goals we have
identified.
When you decide what you
want, you instruct the brain
to start looking for
information, resources,
opportunities and other ways
to achieve the "want" you've
identified. While this may
sound like an impossibility
given your current situation
or circumstances, we've seen
countless individuals
"suddenly" get what they
want--often from a source or
opportunity that already
existed in their life or sphere
of influence. They had just
never instructed their brain to
find it before.

Vincent Oketch.

Kalenjins tell Uhuru to back Ruto for 2017 or risk CORD defeat

By Tagawah

Deputy President William Ruto fired another salvo to the Mt Kenya Mafia insisting the Jubilee government cannot win three consecutive elections.
Uhuru last year indicated that he
will go for the 10 years before Ruto dreams of owning State House. However, with the disastrous manner in which the Jubilee government has run public affairs,with sky-rocketing Standard of living, tribalism and mega corruption, it is a gone conclusion that Kenyans, known for pulling firsts, will not vote in the Jubilee Alliance three times consecutively.According to insiders, the Kalenjins are said to have categorically told Ruto to be at the ballot come 2017 and demand that Mt. Kenya backs
him; that way, he can too test the
whether the Kikuyus are ‘genuine
friends’ and, finally, he too can also have a look at those who fixed him at the Hague like Uhuru has done.
This will lead to the final
reconciliation and bring the ghosts
of the 2007 violence to rest.
Ruto’s statements were carried by
his hatchet man, the rebellious
Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter, who
told Uhuru to forgo his second term and back Ruto, then get back to the presidency in 2023.
Keter warned that with the high-
handedness in the Jubilee
administration, skewed employment and grand corruption, it is a pipe
dream that Ruto will be voted in
after Uhuru in 2013. So, the early
the better!
This negotiated democracy has
worked in Russia where Putin and
Meldev occasionally rotate who
becomes the President and who
serves as the Prime Minister just
between the two of them.
It can happen. If Mt. Kenya backs
Ruto in 2017 to a man, assuming
Uhuru agrees to this arrangement; it consolidate the whole Kalenjin vote bloc and once again (with a little rigging of course) Jubilee may maintain their hold on power.
But this arrangement will face the
first opposition by the Mt. Kenya
Mafia. It is no secret that mosts
Kikuyus are still apprehensive about the person of William Ruto.
Averag Kikuyus shudder at the
thought of Ruto being the
commander-in-chief more than even CORD leader Raila Odinga, or
Kalonzo Musyoka. Meaning, Ruto
must get express endorsement and heavy backing of the Kikuyu elites who will then, in the usual fashion,whip the holoi poloi of the house of Mumbi in voting line.
But assuming Peter Kennneth
becomes a spoiler, and gets ‘hidden’ backing of Uhuru as happened when Uhuru backed Kibaki in 2002 while
pretending to be himself a
presidential candidate; Ruto may
never make it, which will make
kalenjins be very mad and the
Kikuyu diaspora in the Rift Valley be very afraid.

Manchester City V Chelsea – Team News, Tactics, Line- ups And Predictions

By Tagawah
MANCHESTER CITY
v
CHELSEA FC
The Etihad Stadium, Manchester
03 February 2014, 2300HRS
***
The Manchester City
juggernaut shows no signs of
slowing down as an almost
apologetic Spurs boss Tim
Sherwood, still reeling from
the 5-1 thrashing Pellegrini
inflicted on him, publicly
acknowledged City’s top-dog
status on the planet. If it was
meant as a subtle dig at
Chelsea manager Jose
Mourinho, it certainly worked.
Mourinho’s instant riposte that
Sherwood probably mistook
England for the whole planet,
was classic Mourinho at his
finest. But it also betrayed
Mourinho’s increasing
exasperation with his team’s
fortunes. In what should have
been a routine day at the office,
Chelsea managed to gift West
Ham with a 0-0 draw. It
certainly didn’t help Chelsea’s
cause that the West Ham ten
packed themselves like
sardines in front of goal, but
Mourinho must surely feel a
pang of hypocrisy if he chooses
the same tactics at the Etihad.
It’s almost certain Mourinho
would be extremely pleased
with a scoreless draw that
keeps him within striking
range of the top 2 sides. But an
Aguero-less Manchester City
side are suddenly just that little
bit less threatening in front of
goal, even if Chelsea’s offense
have been a shambles this
season. Chelsea are unlikely to
score more than a goal in this
clash, and it will fall upon the
battle-weary shoulders of Terry
et al to keep Manchester City
from scoring more.
What better way to bring this
week’s clashes to a close, than
one between the most
attacking side in the league
and the most resilient.
Team News and Tactics
Manchester City
The absence of Aguero cannot
be good news, but it certainly
won’t be giving Manchester
City’s owners sleepless nights.
In the romp against Tottenham,
all 5 goals came about courtesy
5 different players. While City
surely aren’t lacking the
resources to put this game to
bed, Agueros’ presence and
sense of attacking intent clearly
terrorized opposition defenses
all season long.
Samir Nasri, former Arsenal
star and current Manchester
City lost soul, will also fail to
make an appearance in the
game along with the likes of
Javi Garcia and a doubtful
James Milner. Expect some
combination of Dzeko and
either Jovetic or Negredo to
torture Chelsea’s central
defense pairing with repeated
runs at the goal.
With Pellegrini having set up
his side to attack from virtually
every angle, Manchester City
are likely to hold the lion’s
share of possession with Davd
Silva playing an especially vital
role on the left flank. Against a
defensive Chelsea side, Silva
will likely be given the license
to roam while the
responsibility of collecting a
stray ball in midfield will fall to
Yaya Toure, and the agile
Fernandinho.

Expected starting line-up
(4-4-2) : Hart (GK); Kompany,
Zabaleta, Clichy, DeMichelis;
Navas, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva;
Dzeko, Jovetic.

Chelsea FC
Chelsea will likely employ a 5-
man midfield to starve City of
the space it needs. The obvious
flaw with this plan is that in an
increasingly crowded midfield,
the likelihood of Hazard and
Oscar getting a break to work
their magic is unlikely. Terry
and Cahill will be expected to
hold the central defensive
pairing position, with Mikel
likely to sit right ahead of
them.
Hazard and Oscar will likely
have company in the form of
Salah, who might just warrant
a day at the games, being the
only one of Mourinho’s players
whose strengths and
weaknesses have been already
studied by the rest of the
Premier League. Willian may
just sit some portion of this
encounter out, if Salah’s ability
to run tangentially to his
opponents is given its due
consideration. Frank Lampard
will stay deeper than usual, to
provide the unpredictable
Mikel some additional cover.
In Torres’ extended absence,
Samuel Eto’o will feature as
Chelsea’s sole attacking threat,
and will be entrusted with
poaching a goal in the
unlikeliest of circumstances or
whenever City’s unharried
defense fail to turn on at the
right time.

Expected starting line-up
(4-5-1) : Cech (GK); Cole, Terry,
Cahill, Azpilicueta; Lampard,
Mikel, Hazard, Oscar, Salah;
Eto’o

Key Facts
1. Chelsea have not conceded
a goal in their last 3 away
games
2. Manchester City have
clearly the upper hand,
winning 3 of the past 5
encounters, and drawing
one
3. City have scored more goals
so far – 68 – than they did
all of last season.

Prediction
City 2-1 Chelsea
The home team pack too much
firepower to let Chelsea off the
hook. The West London Blues’
defense will likely perform at
their best, but Pellegrini’s men
will eventually find a way to
score two quick goals.
