This is the frustrating thing about our "Judiciary" and "Law enforcement"

So there is a guy 'Politician' who was hunted by Lumumba and his team and it emerged that his hand has always been involved in one embezzlement or the other in Kenyan History..

And everybody is like "finally, some proof, some bravery, some justice"

And 2 weeks later, the President visits the named Politician's home area, practically holding hands and saying "they/he should be forgiven" or something to that effect..

This completely undermined the work done by revolutionaries like Lumumba, and it goes to show that the whole Judiciary system is an Ant, struggling under the Elite's thumbs.

And you know what? Follow some low profile cases and compare with "high profile" cases brought to court..

You will be surprised to hear that court systems for Criminal offenses are not the same... There are some courts where you are not expected to say "not guilty" and your lawyer is just a prop. If you say "not guilty" you are thrown in remand until the day your "hardheadedness" accepts a guilty plea.

Then we have the high profile ones, the ones that appear on TV charging "high profile" cases. These ones follow the right sequence as we see on American law series. And the accused is usually "innocent until proven guilty" and the lawyer actually presents his clients case,, and many usually get out on "lack of enough proof or evidence".

So that is the short summary of our Judicial System.
I have tried in the past to sue a company that had obviuosly conned us; 
You can't believe how powerless Lawyers are in this system :)

Woe unto you if you are shikwad for incitement (or any other charge in which you are innocent) and you try to get a lawyer to fight your case :)

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

I've managed to start looking at a number of things however the most complicated process i've been trying to follow up on is this.

Considering i've been spending approximately 2 - 300K a year on Taxes, it's beginning to become weary when i hear or read that certain people have misused the money. I tried to understand it but couldn't, I thought i was the only one frustrated seeing as how i didn't hear anyone else "Voice" their opinions. Fear maybe, but when asking on a one to one, there's always something to say.

So, i thought it out, we have a crisis at the moment, the drought in Baringo killing off citizens. I'd like to know if you as skunks are aware of or can get in touch with someone who would be able to assist with this.

Instead of me paying my taxes to the gov't, i use my taxes to work on a project that does two things.

1. Short term termination of drought
2. Long term assistance to the community so that it doesn't recur.

I need Legal assistance and once the formalities have been pulled through, there should be a process whereby this can be justified. So my question to you is this:

Do you know who can help me find out if we can legalize a direct process of interjection considering after about 3 weeks of this nonsense, there's still daily news of just dying people.
I'm sure a lot more Kenyans will sit with this if there is an actual process of direct participation as opposed to going through waiting for things to happen.

And something i found disgusting. approx Ksh 845Million saved last year as MP's and Gov't officials drove smaller cars. WTF?

@Judy et. al
Thanks for the linkWhile signing the online petition is as noble as it gets, I have a concern about publishing of the personal info on the site. Someone talked about privacy on this thread... maybe another. Well this link http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?811976&1 provides 1212 Names, Numbers, ID/VoterNo, and consituency data for any savy marketer to harvest for free! God forbid they reach their target of 1,000,000.

Stephen,

I so totally feel your story. Happened to me too on the 3rd of January, being arrested by cops who are not withing their jurisdiction. And the story ends the same way. Angry big bellied man barking at you expecting you to cower in fear.

Personally, I feel this is a forum which has the power to influence any Govt body. We have managed to pull in big players in the IT industry and am sure with the same zeal and focus we can make a difference. 

Am also tired of being a victim of autocratic rule and seeing no value of my tax money. 

Am up in arms on this one.

This is not going to be a coupe d'etat. Or anything close to it. :D i'm not in that scene. I just have something in mind that might tilt the country in favor of a cleaner better system. And it's not a plan for a quick fix either.

Will post about it soon.

Watchman.
