This line explains what is going in Kenya at the moment. Hon. Ruto knowing that his political relevance was on the line, jumped quickly to using the tribal card. He is clinging and spinning so that he can re-define himself. At his lowest the other crafty and opportunistic politicians have seized an opportunity to meddle with what has been a solid ODM presence in the nation until when the Maize saga unveiled the curtain.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The reality on the ground – Poverty and Hunger are grinding&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;While all this is happening the poor countrymen on both sides of the valley are hoping that may be change will come their way. For the Kalenjin masses the focus is shifting quickly away from the issues; the poor performance in the just announced KCSE results, the high prices of fuel and availability of affordable fertilizers given that the rains are about to fall and off course on the table is the nightmare of every Kenyan - the increased cost of living.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;For those on the other side of the valley, the fears are the same; insecurity and &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;their wellbeing on the west rift tops the list, equally potent are those still languishing in IDP camps and the advent of an era of one peaceful nation under God.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;While the lowly, the poor and the political incorrect are hoping and wishing some light at the end of the tunnel, the politicians are busy planning to dim that light.

They have to embrace one another so that they can siphon the coffers dry to sustain and maintain their status quo. There is a re-birth of a true coalition of those that think only of what they will individually benefit out of the any political marriage. Such pseudo- relationships are all over the political forum within and without Kenya yet this one stand out. Whose main agenda is- &lt;b style=""&gt;who can continue to protect us come 2012?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Political Mathematical genius looked at Uhurus data, and they could statistically predict him being a presidency come 2012 that can protect the status quo.

After all Uhurus wealth is tied to everything that his dad – the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; head of state – grabbed/looted from the Kenyan people. Those surrounding his as well most of them in one way or another benefited from both Kenyatta and Moi presidencies and who in essence see doom if a &lt;b style=""&gt;presidency of the people&lt;/b&gt; ever finds place in Kenya. With the likes of Ndungu report and that recommendations from the Anan report, many of the who is who in Kenya’s corrupt list are in a panic to re-direct the political destiny of the nation. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Wait a minute the mathematician exclaimed!

Public leaders are hired simply to make firm decisions that are objective, fair, and good for its stake holders.  One of the elements required from a public leader to remain serving, is that they maintain objectivity in clearly separating his personal good from the publics.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;What has transpired time and time again with the Kenyan governance system is a repeat of the same problem ; a blurry boundary between the personal and public good. When a leader goes forth to use his office to advance his personal good that is graft, others may also see it as immoral, unethical and wrong. Simply such an act is abuse of power, because such a leader stops to maintain a clear boundary between his personal welfare and the welfare of the public or the stake holders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;In the social contract of service, there is a legal caution for all public leaders not to use their offices to benefit themselves and those close to them at the expense of others (electrorate) . The fall out is that the leader has crossed the established boundaryand their reasoning at that juncture of such a leader is clearly impaired. The leaders perception is therefore blurred so much that you cannot distinguish between what is of personal gain from public good and responsibility, of which you are suposed to represent objectively. Or, in other words, you do not have the good of the public at heart, but yours. This in itself nulls the Leaders contract between them and the public (electrorate) .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;All public leaders in whatever caliber should be held to this same standard. When you hold a public office it is required that you don't give any special of favors (tenders) to associates (companies) that are in one way or another linked to you. Because by doing so clearly indicates impaired judgment. A decision maker or Leader whose judgment is impaired cannot effectively serve the public with impartiality as required by the commitment such a public office. It is imparative thus for a leader who continues to serve, they be able to serve all without impartiality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;The track record of the Minister vis-a-vis the maize scandal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Back to my question, is the Judgment of the Minister of Agriculture Impaired?  To answer the question lets fairly look at it. First, is he a &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233956977_0"&gt;&lt;span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234807755_2"&gt;public officer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;? Yes is the answer. He is held by the social contract for serving and fostering the public good without impartiality. With reference to his &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233956977_1"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234807755_3"&gt;oath of office&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.

No. The minister tendencies lean towards several claims of incompetency. This includes a court case that is pending with similar &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233956977_3"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234807755_5"&gt;unethical behavior&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; that was brought to question with the claim that he and others unlawfully acquired land in the infamous Karura Forest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Does Minister have the public at Heart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;? The events that called upon this inquiry make it seem that his desire to serve, protect and defend the people of &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1233956977_4"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234807755_6"&gt;Kenya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is not part of his agenda. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;If a lowly parent found himself in the ministers shoes, everyone will be on his case. I equate him to a Dad who sold all his produce, colecting the monies and living the family behind begging while he went to coast to enjoy himself. Such a Dad would be labed if not branded as irresponsible and needs to be ejected sooner than later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Should a leader with such a track record continue leading? Even when their judgment is impaired?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt; I know the Kenyan people do not mind as long as the loot ended in their neighborhood, even by proxy, they won't mind keeping Him in office. From the common good is has vialoated his oath and more so his judgment is impaired a honarable thin for him to do is to step aside. Unless he is reading the same script with the imfamous Blago., the disgraced former Govenor of Illinois. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;Plea from a common Mwanainchi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;A personal brief for the Republics Minister of Agriculture.

Ruto and have a continued good will of the Kenyan nation at heart. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;The central question still remains: Do we in as Kenyans/Kalenjins and friends of Kenya condone the conduct of the Minister of Agriculture (public leader) for using his office to benefits himself and his cronies at the expense of the common good? This question is a moral on in nature; it goes down deep into what are our values as a people. Remember, what is being put to test here are the fabric of who we are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;The answer to these central question if we will ever come to agree, then determines the parameters that these forum would employ to make claim of the acceptable from unacceptable conduct. Whether Ruto steps down is inconsequential, for he might be operating in a very different ethical paradigm, if my assertion is true then that is a paradigm that the common person needs to shun. And the damning of such can in a small way be done here in this forum. For those calling for Kiraitu inquiry i would presume that same guidelines should be followed a discussed below .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Process to resolving the dilemma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;So that the issue can be put to rest, There is a dire need within the Kenyan civil and governments systems a need for a systematic and a predictable way of conducting business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;With the matter at hand a I am giving a snippet of a suggestion that, &lt;u&gt;first&lt;/u&gt; it is critical for the stake holders to separate the person from the problem. When one claims that there is a potential of being blinded, or being driven solely by the tribal card, such is a manifestation that there lack of clear boundaries on what is being examined. Important therefore is that we define the problem, for  it then makes it easy for us to subscribe to some degree of objectivity and may be reason more fairly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;The question therefore is do we have a problem based on the conduct of the Minister? Based on the news articles it has been reported that the Minister of Agriculture used his office to benefits himself and his close associates. Across the debate there seems to be a consensus thus far. Which affirms that there is sufficient amount of data  to make claim that yes, we have problem?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;The &lt;u&gt;third step&lt;/u&gt; is to consult with the rules and regulations in place to guide us to resolve the problem.  Several sources are available. The one that comes to mind is the oath office that the Minister took. The oath clearly mentions the dos expected from his public service.  He took the oath of office which mandated him not to conduct himself otherwise.  And the Laws of the land do agree with this view.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Fourth step&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; is what is best practice when you a public leader goes against their oath? World over except Kenya, the best practice is, he step aside for investigations to be carried which will either exonerate him or otherwise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Some have made claim that that the Minister is clean. Please share the criteria that you followed to arrive to that claim. The ramification of such a claim without a sound moral basis is in essence we are setting a terrible precedence. I call it terrible precedence because  we will be creating a society where the mighty and wealth have a right to trample over the weak and poor. Which negates the very reason why we are advancing for a democratic society via through this forum? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4250468371178572399-1400395013939026486?l=kotabsabaot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/feeds/1400395013939026486/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4250468371178572399&amp;postID=1400395013939026486' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/1400395013939026486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/1400395013939026486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/2009/02/open-note-to-gotab-gaa-forum.html' title='An open note to the gotab Gaa Forum'/><author><name>Support the Sabaot Kindred !!</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06996332930571973003</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A-0PDe7dlF8/SPnWlv6mfMI/AAAAAAAABLA/3IqHDgk3GWI/S220/DSC03181.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250468371178572399.post-1414904152313436551</id><published>2009-02-16T09:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-16T09:50:25.799-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Currency of Indentity'/><title type='text'>The Kalenjin Spin out of  the Maize Scandal</title><content type='html'>Some Kalenjins now want to employ a Political Spin to a criminal activities that the top cream are engaging in.&lt;br /&gt;All I can say is Wacheni fitina, porojo, uchochezi, uvumi na wivu!&lt;br /&gt;Let us face facts.

Can't we see if we cannot think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wacheni fitina, porojo, uchochezi, uvumi na wivu wenzangu wakalee and be human for once&lt;br /&gt;Let us face facts. Some of your claims that we are being avenged are frivolous. This is how spin overtakes reason.

I had particularly run late that evening while trying to fix the aging Peugeot 505. As a result I could not deliver the used oil to the Tanning farm as the helpers there had requested. &lt;br /&gt;Picture 1- Elgon View Residence, Eldoret – KXX in view&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I am told that by applying used oil on the wooden fencing posts, the oil prevents the posts from being eaten by termites or absorb moisture from rain, thus given them some longevity.&lt;br /&gt;When I realized that dinner was going to take much longer and the sun was still up, I asked my young brother, Lattimer and Niece, Linda if they could join me to the farm. This is roughly about 10 kilometers away, to drop off the used oil. The two agreed to join me and off we went.&lt;br /&gt;The younger ones wanted to join, but I insisted that since they had not showered, that they do so in readiness for early retirement for the night. Melanchthon and Baraka bought in and gladly ran to the gate to let the car out of the property.&lt;br /&gt;Off went North-west bound on dusty and bumpy old Nairobi road. As soon as we were west bound on the Nairobi Road, while driving slowly, just past the Moi university campus while the road took a curve of some sort, on our right hand stood a 16 wheeler semi - trailer whose occupants were busy trying to change a flat tire. I saw one gentle man close to the road, but it did not cross my mind that there was a safety concern. &lt;br /&gt;Picture 2 - the 18 wheeler Semi Trailer&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;No sooner did we arrive at the farm, than it started getting dark. We met the Chesubei’s with whom we had a conversation. Given that the general elections were underway in a few days and their nephew, Kawon and a neighbor as well was vying for a contentious parliamentary seat in Mt. Elgon.&lt;br /&gt;We then made our delivery and excused ourselves to leave because the car we were was anyways unreliable. There had been several occasions that it would cease starting, that we embarked to our primitive mechanical skills of survival. This was a reflection of the trial and error artisans, who claim to do the opposite. Often times that not they made the cars they worked on worse than they arrived in the name of repair. &lt;br /&gt;On our back, west bound on Nairobi road towards Eldoret, while driving at around 45 kilometers an hour, and following another car at a short distance, all of sudden I was awaken to a rude shock. The car that I was closely following suddenly swerved to the right. Not knowing what was happening, given that I was travelling at a slow speed I presumed that I had a good handle of the situation. &lt;br /&gt;What I did not realize is that the car in front of me had barely avoided a tire belonging to the semi which had been laid on the road as a life saver. Because the semi truck had been parked on the left hand side onto the road, as a safety net for the turn boy who was trying to fix change the tire. &lt;br /&gt;What this crew did not realize is the fact that the tar is black, the tire is black too and the roads are not lit. The only way one could see the object that was laying on the road was by touching, or hitting it. That is exactly what happened to me. &lt;br /&gt;Picture 3 - the wheel/tire that was on the road&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While the car in front of mine was struggling to regain control and come back to the left side, on the opposite direction there were lights of an oncoming car that was fast approaching.&lt;br /&gt;By the time I realized that the object was right in front of my left wheel, I had hit the object and lost control. The car veered towards the right, while the oncoming car was right on.&lt;br /&gt;Picture 4 - the oncoming car that my trunk collided with &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While trying to regain the control of the car, the survival instincts kicked in on being struck by the lights of the oncoming car. I knew that all was gone, out of desperation as I tried to turn the car back towards that left lane. It was then that the trunk of the car I was driving was hit so hard by the oncoming car that the car, that we took a 90 degree turn, heading directly towards the side of the Semi. &lt;br /&gt;Picture 5 - The trunk that hit the oncoming car&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;All this happened in a fraction of a second. As I held the steering tight, the Peugeot with all that momentum it had accumulated from the spin, rammed into a wheel of the semi. Thank God we rammed into the wheel.&lt;br /&gt;Luckily, for the crew (turn-boy) that was fixing the flat tire, they retreated under the semi; otherwise this surely would have not only have been my death bed, but a death bed for my brother, my niece and the turn boy. I do not remember the actual reaction on the turn boy, all I realized is that he escaped with his life into the young night.&lt;br /&gt;As soon at the left hand side of the car had hit the wheel of the semi, than my car bounced back to the middle of the road. &lt;br /&gt;Picture 6 - the deferential and wheel that I hit&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;With the shattered windshield falling in the middle of the road, it dawned to me that we had been involved in a terrible road accident, and, and I was still conscious and alive. &lt;br /&gt;The Peugeot 505, KXX 210, was totaled and luckily all of us in the car came out alive. Not only alive, Praise God! But without any major injuries, Alas!&lt;br /&gt;Picture 7 - The shuttered Peugeot 505 - KXX210&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Lattimer who had hid under the dash board and whose side had the greatest impact had sustained injures to his upper teeth, bleeding but fine. Linda on her part, who was seated on the back seat, was thrown all the way to the dash board on the passenger’s side of the car was laying over Lattimer. &lt;br /&gt;Picture 8 - The impact of the rear axle on the passenger’s side&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;After a second or so of looking around and calling on both Linda and Lattimer, we hurriedly jumped out of the mangled car, to safety. Because the car was in the middle of this busy highway, it was unsafe to continue hibernating in there any way. &lt;br /&gt;Picture 9 - KXX 210 was cherished car to my late - father in law &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The first thing I did in my surreal state was to contact my cousin brother Joseph Kwalia, who has since passed on during the post election violence. Joseph ran a taxi business in Eldoret town and I hoped that he will respond timely just in case one of us who needed immediate medical attention. After which I contacted a few other friends, my brother in law, Wilson Kiprono and my long time friend David Asige.&lt;br /&gt;After a twenty or thirty minute wait, the first to arrive was Wilson who when I called him had to make a U-turn form a matatu he had boarded towards Ziwa. Jumped into another matatu and headed to Pioneer before getting a car from his sister in Law. After arrival it took another hour for the police to arrive, even after I had informed them immediately. &lt;br /&gt;The Kenyan police strategy is not to save lives, but to document a case which then became an opportunity for them to solicit bribe from the party that is at fault or at times from both parties. All along, I had known this to be the case, yet it had never racked my nerves like it did on this fate full night.&lt;br /&gt;As I started visualizing all the scenarios of what could have been had ours been fateful, God forbid!  Whose life would have been saved in such an environment?  The value of urgency, and promptness was Nil.  A well planned response system ABSENT.  Appropriate response and medical attention, in this part of the globe is HEARSAY to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;A lot went on in my small head during the hour before the police stopped by. It is a scientific fact that if for one hour you were left bleeding profusely, that would be enough to send you to you deathbed.&lt;br /&gt;As a first responder at work, I had done all that was necessary to protect lives of fellow employees who were in need. Yet amongst my own countrymen, I thought, when I needed help the most, no one was there, not even the government we so fervently support with foreign exchange monies when we wire the dollar to the motherland.&lt;br /&gt;The question that I am yet to answer is who are you fellow countrymen? Or rather, which country should you be proud of, one that cares for you even when you are an alien, or one that offers lips service even when you are in need of your national and also a tax payers right?&lt;br /&gt;These among other post election events made me re-think about my nationality and not squander the opportunity that the United States of America continues to provide to me and my children. Torn between the roots and the present realities, this became a defining moment of separating dreams from actual facts and possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;The dream was and has always been to give Neema and Baraka a share of my roots. Hoped to do so by living in Kenya for some time so that they could be fluent in Swahili and get to know their relatives and the indigenous culture. The lesson here was yes their heritage was important, but the value of human life was even more important. More so, matters of security and attaining the standard of living that these young Minnesotans are used to, was going to be quite elusive in an environment that I found myself that night.&lt;br /&gt;As we arrived at our residence, looking at the children with whom we did not only share a room but slept on the same mattress and different sleeping bags together; my mind ran to think how the children soundly slept, not knowing what had transpired, that in fact they would waked the following morning only to be told that the Kenyan roads had robbed them of their dad. How sad. &lt;br /&gt;Picture 10 - Mr. Baraka in his Winnie the pooh sleeping bag&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This made me angry especially when I thought about the laxity and carelessness that has entrenched that enforcement of traffic rules and regulations on Kenyan roads. &lt;br /&gt;The list of persons whose lives were lost from this pandemic is endless. Cross sections of all Kenyans have been impacted negatively, by this horrible state of affairs. This sad past includes my distant uncle Eng. Kapsondoi who died from a road accident at a prime age shortly after completing his PHD in the USA in the mid 80’s.&lt;br /&gt;After our anxiety had come down did inquire and got to know the fate of the car that had hit initially. On impact to the trunk or boot of the car that I was driving, the other car became air bound. The car flew over a depression on the road side a distance over 70 meters. It then landed on the bushes on the south side of the road, hitting the fence which turned its front to face the road. &lt;br /&gt;The driver of this car as I later learnt was headed to the same locale I had come just from. He was a don at the local university and in fact a neighbor at the farm. The most elevating experience of the night was that Kiplagat as well came out his car without any injury. How the car had missed an electric post, flown over a valley, landed and turned to face where it had come from, was a wonder to us all. &lt;br /&gt;Picture 11- the other car being inspected&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When we inspected the semi, there were several older ladies who were so shaken as a result of what happened. The confessed that they weren’t the owners of the truck and that the turn boy on surviving the incident had run in the bushes. &lt;br /&gt;On arrival of the police and the tow trucks, they took their reports and marked the area. After which, we dusted our pants and called it another a gracious moment planted in our lives for reflection and were very thankful to the good Lord as we headed to the police station. It was around 11:30 PM when we left the police station.&lt;br /&gt;_________________&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4250468371178572399-5278589173980649569?l=kotabsabaot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/feeds/5278589173980649569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4250468371178572399&amp;postID=5278589173980649569' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/5278589173980649569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/5278589173980649569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/2009/01/kenyan-roads.html' title='The Kenyan Roads'/><author><name>Support the Sabaot Kindred !!</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06996332930571973003</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A-0PDe7dlF8/SPnWlv6mfMI/AAAAAAAABLA/3IqHDgk3GWI/S220/DSC03181.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250468371178572399.post-3028185506851758498</id><published>2009-01-20T11:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-24T17:41:29.894-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Currency of Indentity'/><title type='text'>KONGOI Obama</title><content type='html'>Thanks the Obama’s for ushering in a new &amp; unique era &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I sat on the sofa behind the TV box and listed to all the formal preps, rehearsal and speeches. It became evident that the guy on the TV was one of our own and now was the Head of the Union. What had been like a dream had become real? Barack Hussein Obama is now the 44th president of the most powerful nation in the whole wide world. &lt;br /&gt;My son Baraka, earlier in the morning, did not want to go to school, because he knew very well what the day meant. The magnitude of this event was a realization of the devotion that Barack Obama had about his dream. Because of his unwavering focus and hard work,he had arrived at his destiny. His new address in and will remain to be the most coveted address in the entire union, if not the world. &lt;br /&gt;Just like my son this event has been a spectacle of hope. Its fruition opened new perception about human possibilities over limitations created by some persons amongs us. All, foes and friends alike can attest to Barack famous line, that it is only the US that this possibility can be possible.  &lt;br /&gt;The line of possibility could be read as far East as Indonesia and Japan where children and adults a like gave up sleep to witness the historic clock usher in a new era. It was captivating even for people in the little known village on the shores of Lake Victoria, Kogelo, as the international media and lime light, covered them as well as they a waited for their own to usher in a era. &lt;br /&gt;All I can say is that America you have surprised me beyond imagination.  I know that you have even surprised the 44th president himself.  He must have not slept last night, just like he did not sleep during the election night after the results we announced. &lt;br /&gt;Mr. President Congratulations! We are now open to even greater possibilities. Let the next head of the Union be a female with Cuban roots. You put well, that this is the audacity of Hope. Hope that all races, gender can be equal beneficiaries of the American dream.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the Obama’s for what you have taught all of us. The lesson of Yes we can! Tis a lesson that goes beyond religion, creed, race, nationality, and far and beyond all the other ‘isms out there.&lt;br /&gt;Yes I can, leave my American dream a mid the financial quagmire.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4250468371178572399-3028185506851758498?l=kotabsabaot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/feeds/3028185506851758498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4250468371178572399&amp;postID=3028185506851758498' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/3028185506851758498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/3028185506851758498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/2009/01/kongoi-obama.html' title='KONGOI Obama'/><author><name>Support the Sabaot Kindred !!</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06996332930571973003</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A-0PDe7dlF8/SPnWlv6mfMI/AAAAAAAABLA/3IqHDgk3GWI/S220/DSC03181.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250468371178572399.post-1317310415378403592</id><published>2009-01-10T21:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T21:30:09.795-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Currency of Indentity'/><title type='text'>What is the Currency of Indentity?</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

When said to him, subai werii? He wondered and asked, Dada what are you saying? I tried to repeat the same line but his face, registered even a greater surprise. It was then that it dawned to me that we as a Samedi Kania family had undergone a significant transformation in terms of the context, norms and values. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;This was a kind reminder that my Saboat roots have undergone systematic decline and it was just a matter of one generation down the road, that it will all be in archives that Samedi Arap Kania immigrated from Kenya and his origins, blah, blah, blah.This was also an kind affirmation that as a family, it had not been a priority to include other languagual repatoires in our curriculum.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;Wait a minute! This thought brought some flash backs. When in Eldoret – Kenya, recently between the end of December 2007 and January 2008, I experienced many sad and scaryy things.With the ethnic clashes at the peak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt; tribal indentity became the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;standard of indentity and the proof of the indentity one &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;expected &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;be fluent in that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt; respective mother tongue. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;While driving from Ziwa towards Eldoret, we were stoped as at a road block, by this youngmen you then did not speak any other language other than the local dialect. If you could not hold a conversation in that meduim it was summarily concluded that you were not one of them, therefore, the rest was often sad stories told. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;I wondered for a moment if my son had been in Kenya at that time, without a spokes person or a defender, he might have been persecuted by his own.This thought made me question&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt; my self.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;hat is the true determinant of ones &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;indentity?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt; Is Baraka, not one of my own? If so&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt; why should it be that language overides, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;his&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt; genes? May be the currency of indentity of tribal affliations &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;in Kenya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;, is tribe, language and related practices. So that if you are not in the main stream, you will eithr be forced to the center or be ejects and disowned.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;It was in the middle of this, that it dawned to me that my sons name sake was the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;President elect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt; of the United States of America. Can the same standards apply to him? Wait a minute, Baraka Obama if anything new no or a few luo words, yet he was not only a tribal hero in Kogelo, was one a hero even in the streets of Nairobi, after his victories election. If my claim is true the Baraka Chemmoss can as well still be a Sabaot, even without speaking the local dialect, only if he becomes a high achiever in whatever field he pursues. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;I therefore have a game plan for Mr. Baraka Chemmoss Kania. The first and surer way to make sure that Baraka becomes respectable in the village I came from is by, pushing him to achieve. If rises above the tide then the pre-resquisite to admission is waived, that is my plan A. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:85%;" &gt;If plan A, is not viable, then plan B can as well be pursued, by starting a rigorous language acquisation program right now, and right here. For studies conform that before the age of 11 there is a possibility that, if Baraka Chemmoss is trained, he willl soon be able to salute me, Subai Baba. What I joy when I salute him back Aboo werri. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;Plan C, might be the easiest, to forget all about Mt. Elgon and its people and teach him Chinese instead. Afterall, Far East is the direction of immigrating in Baraka’s future. But for know Please Konja Chuu,  let me weigh my options to determine which is the best plan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4250468371178572399-1317310415378403592?l=kotabsabaot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/feeds/1317310415378403592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4250468371178572399&amp;postID=1317310415378403592' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/1317310415378403592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/1317310415378403592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/2009/01/weri-subai.html' title='What is the Currency of Indentity?'/><author><name>Support the Sabaot Kindred !!</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06996332930571973003</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A-0PDe7dlF8/SPnWlv6mfMI/AAAAAAAABLA/3IqHDgk3GWI/S220/DSC03181.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250468371178572399.post-3729188857510802836</id><published>2009-01-02T13:19:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-05T12:24:50.945-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy New Pikap Tulwoop Kony</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

What does that mean? To many it is a time of euphoria, celebration, benchmarking and setting new milestones. Or using different terms it is a time for individual, at times collective, reexamination of goals, directions and what we want to aspire in the next 360 or so days.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This sounds like a something worthwhile for us to pursue as well in this forum that seems to take forever to take off. For the Sabaot, there is just so much to worry about even for those of us that are counted to the lucky ones for immigrating to the first world. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This past year was dreadful. There was and still is fear, anger, wrath, regret, pain, loss, sorrow, anxiety and even compounding depression just to capture a little bit about how we still feel. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We were a community that started 2008 with such an embracement. We had continually killed one another in 2007 and by the begging of 2008 that terror was on going. As a community we had the blood of the innocent in our hands. Such a grouping was not decent or honorable, but we stuck in there to claim our bad name. The feeling reminded me of the saying, &lt;i style=""&gt;n-go saa-mus muria kubo chii.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Here we are at those same cross roads. Nothing much has changed, we still hate one another. Many are still hurting. Many more are still displaced. Just like me, scores are refugees in their own country.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Like the children of Israel in Babylon it is painful to find yourself as a refugee, more so without any source of livelihood.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;However there is a glimmer of hope this year. In many areas now some sense of security is assured. You can travel with some degree of certainty. You can go to sleep to find the goats are still in their kraal. To many this sounds weird. Yes! Where we call home, Mt. Elgon has always been weird. And this less weird year is the hope of the Sabaot people. We cannot wait for the day that we will be a part of the mainstream. The day when we will enjoy the freedom that other Kenyans have called theirs for the last 40+ years.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sons and daughters of Mt. Elgon, Happy 2009!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Be reminded that “happy” has no bounds, no tribal limitation, no lingual restriction, no color bias, nor socio-economic strata. Happy year means, celebrating the diversity that Mt. Elgon has. It is by accepting one another that we will transcend the problems of today and starting preparing ourselves for the challenges of tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;There is no beautiful country, sweet waters, hospitable people, fertile soils, unique terrain, like the slopes of Mt. Elgon. We are all lucky and should count ourselves proud to be called &lt;i style=""&gt;“pikap koret”&lt;/i&gt; irrespective of what others think or tell us.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Let the those from &lt;i style=""&gt;Rok-ook (Lwakhakha)&lt;/i&gt; embrace those from &lt;i style=""&gt;Endebess&lt;/i&gt;, while the folks from &lt;i style=""&gt;Kaptama&lt;/i&gt; play a friendly volleyball match with those from &lt;i style=""&gt;Kimo-bor (Kimabole). &lt;/i&gt;Let the folks from&lt;i style=""&gt; Chepkital &lt;/i&gt;have field day in&lt;i style=""&gt; Changara.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Let &lt;i style=""&gt;Etawan&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i style=""&gt;Muron&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i style=""&gt;Waase&lt;/i&gt; be human once more, and embrace one another as we play our unique roles in making Mt. Elgon the home of all, my home and yours too. Happy New Year!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Arap Pkania Shabattai aka Samedi&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4250468371178572399-3729188857510802836?l=kotabsabaot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/feeds/3729188857510802836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4250468371178572399&amp;postID=3729188857510802836' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/3729188857510802836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4250468371178572399/posts/default/3729188857510802836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kotabsabaot.blogspot.com/2009/01/happy-new-pikap-tulwoop-kony.html' title='Happy New Pikap Tulwoop Kony'/><author><name>Support the Sabaot Kindred !!</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06996332930571973003</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A-0PDe7dlF8/SPnWlv6mfMI/AAAAAAAABLA/3IqHDgk3GWI/S220/DSC03181.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250468371178572399.post-4173224065077386322</id><published>2008-12-02T08:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T08:34:24.364-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Land Question and the Future of Kenya'/><title type='text'>The grabbers of KAPTAGICH FOREST</title><content type='html'>Area Plot No. Allotee ID Address Size (ha)&lt;br /&gt;Kiptagich 1 Kiptagich Tea Ltd Box 1 olenguruone 80&lt;br /&gt;Kiptagich 3 John Kipchumba Lokorio 4829105 8.5&lt;br /&gt;Kiptagich 552 John Kipchumba Lokorio 4829105 4.21&lt;br /&gt;Kiptagich 4 Col.

Kilimanjaro, bird watching, enjoy water sports and other activities.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;With so many attractions to talk about, and for the sake of keeping it short, we are going to look at the major attractions found in Northern Tanzania. The national parks found in this region include Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Mt Kilimanjaro.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;1. The Tarangire National Park&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The highest numbers of elephant in Tanzania are found in Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is a popular place to stop for those that are gong on safari in the Northern circuit. The park is located a few hrs drive from the town of Arusha and some of the animals found here include gazelles, zebras, elephants and giraffes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;2. Lake Manyara National Park&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The park of Lake Manyara is comprised of grasslands, woodlands and swamps. The lake itself is alkaline in nature and is home to thousands of flamingoes as well as different kinds of birds. These bird species include the egrets, storks, ostriches and pelicans. Other bird species include the rare pygmy goose and species of ibis. Baboons are also found in large numbers in this park. Animals found in this park include the lions, warthogs, elephants, wildebeests and hippos&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;3. Mt Kilimanjaro - Mount Kilimanjaro includes the highest peak in Africa and this has made it a popular tourist destination since its opening in 1977. Kilimanjaro was formed over 1 million years ago by volcanic movement along the Rift Valley. The highest summit is Uhuru Peak on Kibo, which is one of the Seven Summits of the world. The Seven Summits are a list of mountains that are the highest on their continent. Mountain climbing is the major motivation for visiting this park, and getting to the summit of this snow-capped mountain is a great achievement for mountain climbing enthusiasts the world over.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;4. Ngorongoro Area&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The Ngorongoro Conservation Area adjoins the Serengeti National Park. The Ngorongoro is part of the Serengeti ecosystem and is contiguous with the southern Serengeti plains. These vast plains extend into the north to the unprotected areas of Loliondo division which are kept open to the wild animals by means of trans-human pastoralism practiced by Maasai&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The Ngorongoro Crater is located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and lies between Lake Manyara and the Serengeti at about 80 km west of Arusha in the Crater Highlands area of Tanzania. Ngorongoro Conservation Area was also declared a UNESCO World Heritage site and boasts of the largest intact caldera in the world. The bottom of the crater supports many wild animals and for those that are interested in bird watching, game viewing and game safaris will find this place fulfilling. Olduvai Gorge, a, archeological site is also found in this area.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;5. The Serengeti&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Serengeti National Park borders Kenyas Masai Mara Game Park. Its far-reaching plains of endless grass, tinged with the twisted shadows of acacia trees, have made it the quintessential image of a wild and untarnished Africa. Its large stone kopjes are home to rich ecosystems, and the sheer magnitude and scale of life that the plains support is staggering. Large prides of lions laze easily in the long grasses, plentiful families of elephants feed on acacia bark and trump to each other across the plains, and giraffes, gazelles, monkeys, eland, and the whole range of African wildlife is in awe-inspiring numbers&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Serengeti National Park is renowned for the Great Wildebeest Migration when more than a million animals make the seasonal journey to fresh pasture to the north, then the south, after the biannual rains. Apart from the traditional game safaris, hot-air ballooning is a popular activity for visitors in the park.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;About the Author:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial Narrow&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Going on safari to Africa?

Is it acceptable that the plight of those who suffered in the hands of SDLF cruelty, be an opportunity for CBO/NGO founders to enrich themselves? This is not the only field that CBO/NGO founders have exploited. Be reminded that they continue doing this to meet their selfish and greedy appetites.  I make this claim because you will hardly find testimony of genuine  beneficiaries of most initiatives. A classic example is what the government did early this year soliciting international help and to date most of the funds have yet to trickle down to the very IDPs.&lt;br /&gt;Again think about it squarely.

The military operation dubbed ‘Okoa Maisha’ (Save Lives) brought calm to what was one of the most volatile spots on earth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;With all media attention firmly focused on the Mt Elgon conflict, the region’s biggest success story has continued developing almost unnoticed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Distance runners from the volatile region have quietly ascended to the pinnacle of the sport against the background of terror and abject poverty.    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Kenya won the overall team title at Edinburgh’s World Cross this year with six of the 30 athletes in the team hailing from Mt Elgon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;None of those finished outside the top ten where Leonard Patrick Komon, 20, won silver behind Ethiopia’s living legend Kenenisa Bekele. &lt;a href="http://majimbokenya.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/2-photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4401" title="2-photo" src="http://majimbokenya.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/2-photo.jpg" alt="" height="315" width="183" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;In Edinburgh, the Masai siblings Moses Ndiema (fifth, senior race) and Linet Chepkwemoi (bronze, senior women), Titus Mbishei (fifth, junior race men), Doris Changeiywo (fourth, senior race women) and Levy Matebo (tenth, junior race men) also stood out. Mbishei went on to win 10,000m silver at the World Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland in July.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;At the Olympic Games in Beijing, Ndiema and Chepkwemoi finished fourth in the men’s and women 10,000m races. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Amazingly, the entire Mt Elgon District that covers an area of 944 kilometres square does not have a single stadium, running track or training camp.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Here, one comes face to face with the rugged terrain; biting poverty and threat of war that has made many youth in the area take to their heels in search of a better life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;“I have the talent to run and I intend to use it to escape to riches,” said Justus Ngeiywo, a 20-year-old prospective 800m and 1,500m runner hailing from Kaboiywo, a settlement scheme near Kaptama, one of the talent spots of Mt Elgon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table align="left" border="0" width="80"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://majimbokenya.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/3-photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4402" title="3-photo" src="http://majimbokenya.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/3-photo.jpg" alt="" height="451" width="280" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;“In March, I went for training in mid-morning when SLDF soldiers caught me and forced me to run eight kilometres to deliver a message to their colleagues in Kapsakam,” adds Ngeiywo, who went up to the provincial level at this year’s track  championships.&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;“They were targeting athletes to use us as their messengers when the army came and disrupted their communication. However, I took advantage to warn four other runners and together, we escaped to the Mt Keboiywo Forest.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ngeiywo joined other SLDF victims fleeing to the mountains or neighbouring towns of Kitale, Chepkitale and Kimilili. The conflict did not even spare the notables. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Endurance training &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;“We moved to the high altitude area of Marakwet in November and fortunately, the region was not affected by the fighting, although moving to other parts became difficult,” Komon had said before he left for Edinburgh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Exploits of Ben Jipcho, Shem Kororia (both retired) and the evergreen Edith Masai provided a template for success that has inspired the emergence of the region as a catchment area for distance runners. Kororia in particular has played a key role. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;In 2005, the former World Half Marathon champion, converted one of the commercial buildings he had erected opposite Kapsakwony Secondary School to house the runners after training.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;“I decided to establish a camp in Kapsakwony (District headquarters) after disagreeing with an agent whom I was assisting to tap talent from Mt Elgon,” Kororia told Feverpitch X-tra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;“Mt Elgon is the best place for endurance training due to its high altitude (2,800m above sea level) and that is why I was opposed to taking our athletes to Kaptagat (Rift Valley).” And it is at the red brick structure that constituted the Kapsakwony Training Camp where Mt Elgon’s brightest cut their teeth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Komon, the Masais, Changeiywo, Mbishei, Matebo, Suleiman Simotwo, marathoner Solomon Busiendich as well as junior starlets Titus Masai and Ines Chenonges were housed at the ‘training camp.’   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Others include the formidable James Kwalia, who runs for Qatar together with Uganda’s top trio of Moses Kipsiro, Boniface Kiprop and Martin Toroitich.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;The SLDF insurgency imparted negatively on Mt Elgon’s rapid progress as a catchment area for distance runners. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;“Were it not for the war, we could have seen more runners from here make the Kenya team for World Cross and Olympics,” Kororia said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;He added: “It was sad that while people like Komon were running in Scotland, their families were being pursued by the raiders. Such incidents left psychological scars.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;“I registered other camps in Kaptama, Kopsiro, Kitwamba, Trans Nzoia and Saboti but had to close them down when the fighting started since it would have been too risky,” Kororia who was recently elected as the Athletics Kenya Mt Elgon District chairman said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Seasoned coach, Boniface Tiren, who has nurtured most athletes at junior level from the area says, “Athletes from Mt Elgon gain endurance naturally owing to the high altitude, uphill terrain and long journeys to school they have to run each day.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;“Let’s say it’s almost by default they eventually become runners when they realise that is the only thing they can do. Having people like Jipcho, Kororia, the Masai’s and Edith also made others realise that athletics can pay.”  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Tiren was one of the coaches that accompanied the national team to the Bydgoszcz’s World Juniors. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;National head coach, Julius Kirwa, observes: “The fact that there is no track and stadium conditions young talent in Mt Elgon to become distance runners since they are the only races they can practise.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;It will take more than war and lack of facilities to dent the resolve of the distance running talent in Mt Elgon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
