In Summary

* Mr Muthaura will stay in South Africa for a few days rest.
* He was been treated for myocardial infarction, a heart disease.


The head of the Civil Service and secretary to the Cabinet Francis Muthaura was Wednesday discharged from a South African hospital, where he was receiving treatment.

Mr Muthaura was flown to South Africa two weeks ago for further treatment after spending three days at the Nairobi Hospital.

He was diagnosed as suffering from a heart condition, known as myocardial infarction in medical terms.

"Ambassador Muthaura was discharged from hospital this morning. His family and doctors are very happy with the progress he has made in a very sort time, said a government statement signed by his personal physician Dr Frank Mwongera.

"He will stay for a few days in South Africa to have some rest before coming home."

Arteries narrowed

Mr Muthaura was been treated at the Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg, where he was admitted after his arteries narrowed.

Typical treatment of such a problem involves repairing blood vessels in and around the heart which may have narrowed or blocked due to a combination of factors, including age and lifestyle.

This is done by injecting medication to dissolve any blood clots or opening up the vessels by inflating a balloon-like device inserted into the blood vessels through a catheter.

In serious cases, a heart bypass is done, which involves stitching in another blood vessel, usually taken from the leg, to replace or bypass the diseased one.

Kenyan MP (Member of Parliament) Anthem

Politicians of all persuasions
Strip this our land and nation.
Fortunes motivate us and keep us.
May we steal with impunity
Dodge taxes in unity;
Plenty be sourced within our dockets.

Let all politicians arise
With scams both wily and foolproof.
Eating be our earnest endeavor,
And our cake-stand of Kenya ,
Heritage of plunder,
May we fight forever to perpetuate.

Let parties with one accord,
In common greed united,
Bankrupt our nation together,
May the agony of Kenya ,
The fruit of our behavior,
Remain hidden from our 2012 voters.

Kenyans Civil Protest against insensitive leadership

Dear Comrades,

The grand coalition leadership is in self destructive mode. They are presiding over all the conditions that caused the French revolution: detached and insensitive leadership; majority malnutrition and starvation; high national debt; inequitable taxation; consumerism among the ruling elite and high unemployment among other citizens. The symbol of the French revolution was “bread” (so close to our “unga”) and the uprising swelled over time.

As early as April 2008 Bunge la Mwananchi started the campaign to urge the government to check the increase in essential food items such as unga. As in the unprecedented French revolution before them where there was a notable mass uprising reaction that featured women marching on Versailles, Kibera women also recently defiantly sung: “tunataka bei ya unga iteremke” as Raila’s mercedez motorcade passed by.

Fellow Kenyans, we have an opportunity to be make history. WE WANT CHANGE BUT THROUGH NON-VIOLENCE:

1. Start mobilizing your friends and networks today;
2. On 10th ( World Human Rights Day) meet and organize yourselves as part of the Direct Action squad;
3. Write a letter to the editor expressing your opinion on current issues;
4. Send a text message to your member of parliament ( access phone numbers at www.bulamwa.co.ke) demanding to know when s/he is paying tax
5. On 11th let us walk to work to dramatize our demand that unga, petrol and kerosene should be reduced to 30/-, 65/- and 40/- respectively, send a text message to your member of parliament to express your dissatisfaction with the current status, avoid any fuel product; and
6. on 12th December (Jamhuri Day) join other Kenyans at the venues scheduled for public celebration especially Nyayo Stadium and use your mouth to petition your leaders to reduce further the prices of unga, kerosene and petrol.

Kenya National Civil Society Congress through Bunge la Mwananchi and Name and Shame Corrupt Networks (NASCON) have put in place safetynets such as lawyers, etc just in case.

This is your practical chance to be part of activities towards change as we mobilize and organize ourselves into direct and peaceful action to demand responsive leadership.

Kiraitu and Njuri Ncheke

When Kiraitu was reporting to Kibaki that "it will not be business as usual" if there isn't more than one Meru in the cabinet, whom was he speaking for?Did it make sense?By the way, who made him the Meru spokesman.......Ni erwe areke mantu yamaingi na kibaki.Ni umma Ameru ni-baringiire kura kibaki na wingi saidi....but it was like chasing after the wind. Njuri-Ncheke and the like minded should see to it that Meru is united and work as a block so that we will never be taken for a ride again. For a start if things go as the've been, we need "our" party. Kiraitu is just but like a drop in River Kathita.

We've Uhuru as the Deputy Prime Minister, what do you think?

Why enough is enough:We should not allow the bloated 40 member cabinet

During the beginning of this year(2008) Kenyans took a path less traveled by the civilized beings.We are ashamed and confounded of that ugly past.

In essence it happened so that our tribes men may enjoy power and by so doing somehow extend wealth to us.We Hope.Therefore when they incited us, we thought by following their words we will get to the promised land flowing with honey and milk. We killed our neighbors, Raped, Destroyed property and displaced the ‘foreigners’. I hate to see those ugly images (www.tafutabiz.com/KenyaViolence.htm). Let it never happen again.

The truth is now with us. Whatever we fought for was our self proclaimed leaders’ interests.

The IDPs are yet to be taken care of, indeed we will borrow some Kshs 34 billion to settle them, never the less no one seem to worry because the coalition is in the making. Infact we are going to have 40 ministers up from the already bloated 34. Regardless of the rise in basic commodities and astronomical inflation rate. Ofcourse each minister will have at least two limos, bodyguards, other privileges and untold amount ofallowances. Each minister will have a Permanent Secretary and an Assistant Minister or two, each with similar privileges.

Today and ordinary MP pockets Kshs 800,000 per month, Assistant Minister at least Kshs 950,000, a Minister Kshs 1.1m. As tax payers we need to see returns. Why should we pay all this to single individuals whose only work is to Politic in funerals and make noise about everything/anything under the sun. What is their work? Are they realy ‘Leaders’?

Here comes a pertinet question at this point; Who is a leader?

In my opinion, a leader is one that inspires, gives direction, a servant of the people, dedicated and focused. Whatever the case we may not have many leaders today.Not in our parliament. The parliament has guys that are pursuing their selfish, gluttonous ambitions. They want your every coin in the name of tax whereas they don’t pay tax like any other Kenyan. Now who are these people? What do they represent?

What is the way forward Kenya?
