MICHEZO SAA KUMI 22ND JAN 2010

In 2010,I was  sponsored by the Internews (International NGO that fosters independent media and access to information worldwide) to cover the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC)'s hearings in Northern  Kenya in Isiolo.I met two widows;Khadija Ahmed Osman and Fatuma Ibrahim.What I came face to face with tormented my soul.The atrocities committed to citizens during the Shifta War were unbelievable as they were horrendous.My view of the world was changed dramatically,listening to the victims narrate their ordeals.That day,my tears flowed freely as I listened.I have never been the same again.

ISAAC MWAURA INTERVIEW 6TH  SEPT 2012

Perhaps one of the most politically conscious songs I have ever listened to.Indeed artists are the mirror of the society.It's such songs that can change how people see politicians and the choices they make!

Masaibu ya Wanawake Wakati Wa Vita Vya Shifta

On 10th May 2017 at about 1645hrs, I received a call on my office line.The gentlemen from the other on 0722603790 end identified himself as a Mr.Thomas Kimeu, a 'prosecutor' at the Director of Public Prosecution's office.He claimed to have before him a case against me filed at the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) which had been brought before him for his legal opinion.He indicated that he was about to give EACC his opinion on the matter after which the case could be terminated or progressed.He said he had the option of applying to his office to have the matter confined within his desk at which he would have the powers to advise for its termination or advise the EACC to go on with the case, in which I would  be summoned by  EACC to defend myslef.To apply for the permission, the accused in this case,myself) would bear the costs.To apply he needed Ksh.8,500, to request the case to be terminated he would need Ksh.8,500 and to finally close the matter and i be issued with a clearance certificate, that would cost me Ksh.6,500.He created an urgency saying that as 5pm was approaching, he needed to make the application as soon as possible or an officer from EACC would call me to summon me to defend myself.I told him I didn't have the money at the moment and requested if he could give me a few more days to fetch the cash.He retorted that at his level, he didn't have the luxury of time,and, as such, any extension was out of the question.He was well polished in matters legal and quoting various sections of the law in a bid to demonstrate how serious the matter was.I then told him that as a law abiding citizen,I would present myself to the EACC.True to his word, another person calling himself, a Mr.Njoroge called me from office line 0202000236 (Truecaller identifies it as EACC!) purporting to be an investigation officer at EACC, 'summoning' me to the EACC offices the following day.On Thursday, 11th May 2017, at about 7.45 am I was at the Integrity Centre,the EACC offices.I was shocked to realize that even the office line I was called from doesn't belong to EACC, neither do they have an investigating officer by the name Njoroge.I met the Assistant Director of Forensic investigations Mt Pascahl Mweu, who was very helpful and informed me that in this era where integrity has become a valuable commodity,many Kenyans are losing their money in the hands of criminals purporting to be officers from EACC and who offer possibility of terminating cases against such unsuspecting victims.Politicians are the hardest hit as well as public servants as myself.I hear a Governor lostt Ksh.2.5 million to such con artists.My friend,I have warned you on this,please stay alert and warn others!I
