Mungiki insider and gender expert set to testify in Uhuru case

ICC judges on Wednesday allowed the prosecutor to add two more witnesses in the case against President Kenyatta with one of the new entrants being a Mungiki insider and the other a gender violence expert.

The Trial Chamber judges also rejected Mr Kenyatta’s legal team’s request to postpone the trial by four months in the event that the two additional prosecution witness are brought on board.

The judges had argued that Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda had promised to use the two witnesses after January 2014.

Judges Kuniko Ozaki, Robert Fremr and Chile Eboe-Osuji ruled that the Mungiki insider who is Witness P-548 and a sexual and gender-based violence expert, P-66, will bring new dimensions to the case facing Mr Kenyatta, whose trial is scheduled for November 12.

QUESTIONS AT ISSUE

“The Chamber is persuaded from P-548’s witness statements and the prosecution’s submissions that much of the proposed evidence of P-548... brings to light previously unknown facts, which have a significant bearing on the case and would be of relevance in determining the questions at issue in this case,” they ruled on the Mungiki insider.

On the sexual violence expert, the judges agreed with the prosecution that it was a replacement of another witness, P-426, who withdrew from the case under unexplained circumstances.

“The Chamber is satisfied that Witness 426’s withdrawal means that P-66’s proposed evidence brings to light otherwise unknown facts, which have a significant bearing upon the case. Further, given the overlap P-66’s proposed evidence has with that of former Witness 426, the Chamber considers that the Defence has previously had an opportunity to prepare for similar evidence in this case,” they ruled.

However, the judges instructed Ms Bensouda to disclose the identity of the two witnesses to Mr Kenyatta’s lawyers and directed that they be among the last to be called to the witness box to testify in the case arising from the 2007/8 post election violence.

“The Chamber orders the prosecution to disclose the identities of Witnesses 548 and 66 and all disclosable information relating to them forthwith and directs the prosecution to call Witnesses 548 and 66 among the last witnesses of the prosecution case,” they ruled.

The judges were alive to the potential linkage of the evidence from Witness 548 to the statements of other Mungiki witnesses and gave in to the request by the defence team made of Steven Kay and Gillian Higgins to push forward their testimonies.

They said: “The prosecution is also directed not to call any of its Mungiki witnesses until at least the end of January 2014. If the prosecution considers that the security situation for any of its Mungiki witnesses requires a variation of this direction, it is directed to seize the Chamber with an application to this effect.”

Wednesday’s ruling comes at a time when a cloud of uncertainty surrounds Mr Kenyatta’s attendance of his trial at The Hague.

Two weeks ago, the African Union asked him to skip the trial as they engage the UN Security Council to defer the cases the President and his deputy, Mr William Ruto, are facing at The Hague.

A team of five ministers has been nominated by the African Union to push for the deferral at the Security Council. AU commission chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and Ethiopia’s Foreign minister Tedros Adhanom who chairs the AU Executive Council will lead the team.

MASSIVE INTERFERENCE

The Trial Chamber has already allowed Mr Kenyatta to skip most of the proceedings except the opening and closing statements of all parties, judgement and sentencing, if it will apply.

Two weeks ago, Mr Kenyatta’s defence team wrote to the Trial Chamber seeking to stop his case on grounds that the prosecution had abused the court process, making it difficult for Mr Kenyatta to get justice.

They claimed to have evidence of massive interference in the court process by the prosecution intermediaries and its witnesses citing prosecution witnesses OTP-118, OTP-11 and OTP-12.

“The Defence is in possession of substantial evidence of a serious, sustained and wide-ranging abuse on the process of the Court carried out by Prosecution witness OTP-118 and prosecution intermediary, and Prosecution   witnesses OTP-11 and OTP-12,” said the defence team.

Should the Trial Chamber turn down their request, Mr Kenyatta’s lawyer registered another prayer of the judges ordering evidential hearing before the start of the trial to determine the issue of abuse of process.

SHOCKING: WETANGULA's ‘hidden’ son languishes in poverty and operates boda boda despite his father’s wealth

FORMER Bungoma Senator, Moses Wetangula, is a man under siege - from one scandal to another.

Barely three months after a woman sued Wetangula for child maintenance after the embattled Senator abandoned his child and the woman, who she married under customary law, it has emerged that Wetangula has forgotten yet another child, a grown up man, who he got out of wedlock, and is now languishing in abject poverty in Bunyore, Vihiga County.

The man, who now fends for his family by operating bodaboda in some remote village in Bunyore, said he had very dark secrets about his father after he abandoned him and his mother in abject poverty despite all his wealth, and that he had very embarrassing information to divulge to the public about his life with the absent honourable father.

The man said his father is very rich, in fact at one point he boasted of being one of the richest guys in Bungoma and to a larger extent the entire Luhya nation, but all that has not helped the family as someone like him should be somewhere doing business or having a good job and not operating Bodaboda as if his father was a pauper.

He further said even though he is not happy about his life, he can’t complain so much because his boda boda business gives him enough to take care of the family and that he is safe with Wetangula out of his life.

STORY OF MY LIFE- LONE FELIX ,MUST READ!

Q. You are always in hurry, why do you walk so fast?

LONE FELIX ILLUSTRATES A POINT DURING THE INTERVIEW

(Laughing) I never quite realize that. But when I was nine, I developed severe rheumatoid arthritis and was unable to walk for almost three months. When I got better, I had understood why being able to be on your feet is very important. Ever since then, I started walking quite fast and it became a habit.
Q. That would mean that your love for suits also has a story?
Not really. I think being in a good suit projects a good image and gives one confidence. Pretty much that is why I do them. Over time, it’s become what I am associated with.
Q. Tell us about your growing up
I grew up in rural Western Kenya; brought up by a single mother. Life was challenging, walking five kilometers barefoot to school; countless nights of going without food. I however don’t think that I was so disadvantaged; thousands of Kenyan children pass through the same problems. And in addition, I had a mother who loved me unconditionally.
I would sit and watch her cut trees, or uproot tree stumps to burn charcoal. Yet she always managed to afford a smile. As a kid, such deep love makes you forget hunger and lack.
Q. That’s was a tough life by all measures
Not really, I have met stories in my life that make me thank God for the experiences I had a child. And in a way, these struggles form the core of my values; they have given me a deep sense of empathy and value for others.
Q. If you had a chance to recreate your life, how different would you like your childhood to be?

(Early July)Lone Felix Makes a call at JKIA before when about to depart for a global leadership Forum in South Africa

I am unable to answer that question. Sometimes I wish I had a father by my side, but I actually think his not being there made me stronger. It taught me to fight my own battles, to write my own story, to make my own mistakes and correct them. I do not therefore know what I would want different, but I know I would not want to miss in that life the lessons my mother’s struggles gave me.
Q. That’s the fourth time you are saying mother, would you say you are a mama’s boy?
If being a mama’s boy means loving your mom immeasurably, then probably I am. But when bringing us up, she was keen to ensure that we knew our roles as men. We were to make our own decisions and be responsible. I do not live in her shadow, but her influence in my life is something that will last a lifetime.
Q. Tell us about your early schooling?
I joined Nursery school in 1994. I remember there was a huge fight before I agreed to go to school. I had my first fight on my second day in nursery, and the madam, her name was Justine, really caned me.
I was very tiny then, so I was not allowed to go to class one. The qualification for proceeding was much about being able to pass your left hand to touch your right ear (laughs). So I spend two years in Nursery school, then at age six I joined standard one.
In 1999 when I contracted arthritis, so I was out of school for six months and had to retake standard four in 2000. It’s also the same year when my dad died.
I developed excessive bitterness around that time, in part it’s because; I had just seen my father three times, and the last time he told me, he would change my school. When he died, the dreams of ever having a father crushed and with it deep hate.

With Sauti Sol on the Side Lines of the Annual Leadership & Education Congress

Walking home from his school to see his grave each day added to my desperation. Mom’s struggles at that point intensified, family feuds over property, it was too much to bear. So I moved from Rural Busia to my maternal uncle in Rural Bungoma, a place called Namanze. Q. My cousin worked in a mission hospital at a place called Khasoko; it should be close to that place
They are very close. It’s at Namanze where I sat my KCPE IN 2004.
Q. High school?
I was offered admission to Friends school Kamusinga. I had struggled and attained 432 marks out of 500. But you see, we could not raise school fees or money for shopping. So I picked the box that my sister had used for her high school and bits of shopping mom had realized then went to school. A donor had pledged to pay my school fees but the cheque would be a day late. So I was turned away. I got the cheque next day, but when I went back to school, I was told when you miss to report the first day, you forfeit your chance.
Q. What did that mean to you?
It was crushing. At the time it seemed like everything was unfair and it was very hard for me to make sense out of it.
Q. So what did you do?

I sought help from the District Education Office but hit a dead end. I was taken in at Khasoko Secondary School in rural Bungoma. Then in my second form I joined Goseta mixed secondary school then, in Trans-Nzoia.
The school accepted me to stay; I was never asked school fees. I think God has a way of helping out. My family could not even raise Ksh. 3600 for KCSE registration; it was the school that paid it for me. The cumulative debt was written off when I registered the first (A) plain for the school.
Q. What is the most vivid memory you have of your childhood?
On this Wednesday, it was 1997 at the height of a hunger. I got home from school and there was no food. It was perfectly normal. So I changed and went to get some sugar canes. In the evening, when mom came home, she was singing. Whenever mom sang, I would know she was sad. She always hid her misery in songs.
She told us there was no food, but she had a bit of flour and would make porridge. So I sat on the side extracting juice from sugarcane, we used the juice as sugar. Suddenly she stopped and scoped something from the boiling porridge.
I then saw tears in her eyes. She said it was a caterpillar. She had stirred it and basically we could not take the porridge. I followed her crying, and as she poured the porridge to the ground, I held her hand and told her: mom I am hungry, let me just take it.
She said, no son, you can’t do that; life is much more than a day’s meal. That line has never left my ear.
Q. What was the lowest moment of your childhood?
When growing up we faced a lot of challenges. Mom was very determined to see us grow and she did everything. Now when there was totally no food, mom used to go to posho-mills and she would take the flour that had been swept from the floor.
And that is what we would eat, now that flour had the smell of oil and had been obviously stepped on by people. Such moments are not as pleasing to any child.
Q. It is very hard for anyone to reconcile that childhood, with the person you are now?
And I fully understand that. It has been a fight that still continues. My family still struggles; but definitely, today I am able to help though to a limited level.
It’s not just about my struggles or the prayers and love of my family. It has been about very many people who have believed in me; people who have invested their love, money and given me acceptance.
My second mom, Kyambi Kavali who paid my form one school fees, my high school Principal Mr. Wasike, My Business Education teacher Ms. Caroline, My friends who took me in their cribs when I had nowhere to go to or guys who pick me when I am to be rushed to hospital or the guy that drops me a facebook inbox saying I love your work.
Q. How were you as a teenager?
(Laughing), just like any other teenager, rebellious a times, obnoxious sometimes. I struggled with all challenges that face any teenager. I was never a perfect kid.
Q. Or should I ask, would you like your son to be like you?
I would like my son to be himself. If I said yes, I would be imagining that I am anything close to being perfect, if I said no, I would saying I am too ill to wish my son to be like me. I hope they can be themselves.
Q. People think you are very stern and rigid?
That is before perhaps you know me better. I think I am an easy person. In fact, some of my friends cannot understand how people take me seriously. You remember Rose telling you, she knows more of the comedian in me than the serious person?
I think I balance out, my public moments come with the restraint required, and my private moments are also relaxed.
Q. What is it about you that people do not know?
Quite much, I never take a cold shower for example. I have an allergy whenever I take a cold shower (laughs out loud.) And the other thing is that I am very particular about my food.
(On that food note, let’s close this chapter. One of his closest Friends, Emmanuel vows one thing, he cannot cook anything except coffee for Lone Felix. The boy is actually a good cook.)

Uhuru CORNERED: The Constitution is CLEAR, Uhuru MUST attend ICC Trials, Otherwise Referundum Or Amend The Constitution

Perhaps it is for lack of foresight or just another warm up for total disregard of the constitutional provisions, it turns out the country will have to go for an  urgent referendum or Parliament to urgently repeal certain sections of The Kenya Constitution or make amendments that will softly cover The Head of State should he opt to defy ICC trials.
The Constitution of Kenya 2010,shoots tough, candid, straight and clear:
Art. 1(1) – “ALL sovereign power BELONGS to the PEOPLE of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution”.
Art. 2(1) – ” The Constitution is the supreme law of the Republic and binds ALL persons and ALL State organs at both levels of government”.
Art. 2(5) – “The general rules of international law shall form part of the law of Kenya
Key Questions

• Does Uhuru’s Jubilee got numbers to pass a constitutional amendment?

• Can Uhuru rally Kenyans behind an anti- ICC referendum?

• Will Ruto play ball now that it is clear that he was set up to test waters?

• What is the timeline?

Very interesting times to be a Kenyan, with stagflation hitting hard, Uhuru popularity ratings will be plummeting like an over-ripen avocado, prompting people even those from his stronghold to find it hard to rally behind him.
TIME WILL TELL, we should wish our president well, it is no longer a little personal matter, perhaps he should JUST ACCEPT AND MOVE ON, Kenya is bigger than an individual ama?
