Dear @CJMarthaKoome:

Be advised that your Deputy Registrar, Constitutional Division (Milimani), has repeatedly declined to sign our Petition 6 Notice of Appeal that #EnergyJustice6 filed on November 5th 2020.

We have been forced to write to @Kenyajudiciary

#SwitchOffKPLC

@KenyaPower

2. When Apollo Mboya secretly settled Petition 6 of 2018, he was awarded costs to be paid by @KenyaPower & @EPRA_Ke. This is in addition to an amount he allegedly received to kill the case focusing on the theft of OUR Sh10.1B by KPLC.

#SwitchOffKPLC

@CJMarthaKoome

3. #EnergyJustice6 sought to revive the case in court because Apollo should not have settled it privately. This is about high bills, vendor cartels & thieves.

When denied yet again, we filed a Notice of Appeal on November 5th 2020. @CJMarthaKoome @Kenyajudiciary

@KenyaPower

A patriotic little bird whispered in my ear that apparently, power supply was almost cut off to @KenyaPower by a bulk supplier due to billions owed, & @StateHouseKenya had to intervene. Perhaps too that permanent & pensionable Management will be placed on contract

#SwitchOffKPLC

@KenyaPower

2. Still, @KenyaPower keeps opting for expensive electricity. Not to mention Sh150B stolen from itself. Watch your bills for fraudulent amounts & missing tokens. We are the last resort in KPLC's march towards default & insolvency.

NB: KPLC doesn't work alone.

@lawsocietykenya

3. I also understand that an extensive, formal complaint against [I can't say more] has been sent to @lawsocietykenya where I am listed as a witness. It is explosive & extremely detailed.

I am ready and willing to testify as required.

By June 2020, @kenyapower owed

-Sh23.7B to @KenGenKenya
-Sh19.48B to IPPs
-Sh4.67B to @KETRACO1

The electricity sector is a hotbed of theft. MES & #Covid19Millionaires look tame by comparison.

WaKenya could lose up to Sh6T!

@KenyaPower

2. Broadly, @KenyaPower owes Sh65B & anticipates Sh29.5B from consumers & the govt.

Q. How does a de facto monopoly FAIL to be profitable?

A.The trinity of generation+transmission+distribution/sale
is for the profit of a select, politically connected group.

#SwitchOffKPLC

@EPRA_Ke

3. Tariffs - under the corrupt & watchful eye of @EPRA_Ke - will remain high because parastatals & IPPs are OVERSUPPLYING electricity .

We pay for UNUSED electricity through rigged Power Purchase Agreements & yet more bleeding via the happily corrupt @KETRACO1.

@MOH_Kenya

2. Circa 2013-14, @MOH_Kenya envisioned a 7-10yr Public Private Partnership (PPP) to equip 94 Level 4 & 5 hospitals across 47 counties. This was approved on 22 Jan, 2014.

The PPP was ditched by June 2014 & an international Open Tender MOH/001/2014/2015 was launched.

#MAFyaHouse

3. As bids were submitted, the PPP under the Public Private Partnership Act, 2013 morphed into a Managed Equipment Service (MES) under the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005 (repealed), now the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015. No justification.

The #Covid19Millionaires gravy train allegedly runs this way:

1. Pres. Uhuru Kenyatta & relatives
2. Murathe, Megascope & that motley crew
3. Governors & "their people"

These quick-to-absolve-myself-and-my-party are premature. What about their Governors & Legislators?

@USAID

2. Even as @USAID @GlobalFund threaten to withdraw / procure directly, they know that for 6yrs, they funded KEMSA to the tune of Sh23B p.a. @Deloitte won the contract from Supply Chain Management System (VA) to clean up the mess.

KEMSA is back in the hole.

@KenyaPower

3. Same playbook @KenyaPower when Manitoba Hydro Mgmt spent $154M to clean up KPLC post-Gichuru.

The now PS Njoroge (UK's fundraiser) @EnergyMinK was thereafter appointed CEO; & theft resumed.

KPLC is back in the hole. We're paying for it.

Recently, there was a heated mtng (a House on some Hill) that lasted lasted about 12hrs. 🥃1 & his bruv, along with several elders gathered to deal with a certain 👑czar who's making inroads into that mountainous region where he intends to plant a flag on the snow capped peak.

2. 🥃+ 👑live with their hands deep inside the Cookie Jar of land, industry, energy, banking, infrastructure, agriculture, mining, oil & even ivory. And want to rule forever. Not to serve Wanjiku. Never ever. They hate the peasantry. The sick. The disenfranchised. All of them.

3. Anyway, 🥃1 & Co read the riot act to the 👑 & tell him that he has fallen out of favour with The Matriarch whose will has overpowered the mountain folks' for decades. The villagers are unhappy & the snake oil salesman is selling them 🐔 poo dressed as Hope. 🥃1 is livid.

Let me remind Kenyans that the separation between politics and development is a colonial divide.

The colonial administration divided the two to make African nationalists appear like people who just make noise and dont care for the people at all.

The devil is in the details.

https://twitter.com/StateHouseKenya/status/1223282049349537798

The colonial administration believed that the purpose of colonialism was to "develop" Kenya and rescue us natives from backwardness by bringing us into global capitalism as wage laborers or resource harvestors and producers.

So colonialists divided Kenya into the urban & settler areas on one hand, and tribal reserves on the other.

They allowed wage labor on settler farms and in the cities, but used the provincial administration to prevent any political activity in the reserves.

@Kenyajudiciary

2. Judges @Kenyajudiciary should refuse to be blackmailed & be as crystal clear as Justice Mumbi.

Pres Uhuru's lame duck presidency has 900days left. All his grandstanding & hostage-holding of the Judiciary will be over (unless BBI backdoors him back into power).

#SwitchOffKPLC

3. Pres Uhuru is grandstanding around gazetting the CoA judges is 🚮.

He is afraid that he will not have control. No dirty files = No blackmail. So, he tries to paralyze the Judiciary. Money comes from taxpayers & not his dispense like candy for "good" kids.

WaKenya: Friday story.

Energy & medical cartels have merged.

We should neither pay Sh4.9B for the HCIT under the MES deal nor any penalties for termination.

Seven Seas won the contract irregularly. We have the details.

nation.co.ke/news/Health-fi…

(long thread)

#SwitchOffKPLC

2. Before the HCIT there was the MES deal, which incidentally Seven Seas also "won" a chunk of. How?

Pres Uhuru went to New York for a meeting with then Pres Obama and other African leaders. On the sideline, he obtained the MES document from some corporations.

#SwitchOffKPLC

@StateHouseKenya

3. Pres Uhuru @StateHouseKenya gave the proposal to then Health CS, Macharia; who gave it to then PS, Dr. Muraguri; serious MAfya House OGs. The proposal was then passed on to a university lecturer. At that time, #EnergyJustice6 James Gitau was in Kenya visiting.

This Christmas you are broke because they stole your money.

WaKenya who trended #SwitchOffKPLC don't know that Rt. Hon. @RailaOdinga urged @MboyaApollo to meet with @ketercharles in 2018 to kill Petitions 6 & 59.

Resulted in a Sh75M handcheque (nego'd down from 300M)

@RailaOdinga

2. Before Baba apologists attack me, pls remember that @RailaOdinga was PM during the Coalition Govt & one time Minister of Energy. Although he is not IN govt, he sure as heck knows what's cutting & has remained silent on matters energy while his followers suffer.

#SwitchOffKPLC

@KenyaPower

3. In fact, it was 2017 ODM-Jubilee wars that saw the Apollo receive info from the Treasury about the Sh10.1B that Jubilee took from @KenyaPower for campaigns (common practice) that KPLC illegally recovered from you.

We were finally directed to the very efficient Deputy Registrar (@dkmaraga
- pls note).

We now have the notes.

#SwitchOffKPLC

3. We can corroborate our recordings of the Pet 59 hearing in April 2019. Mr. Ouma states that the decree (consent orders) listed Gitson as an interested party - meaning that Gitson was party to the consent. How? A joinder hearing never took place.

Wapi decree?

WaKenya are very angry about the proposed 20% hike in electricity tariffs by @kenyapower.

businessdailyafrica.com/news/Kenya-Pow…

Let's go back. You recall how people gloated at #SwitchOffKPLC when @EPRA_Ke reduced tariffs in Nov '18?

https://twitter.com/MboyaApollo/status/1057709088673546240?s=20

It was TEMPORARY.

(thread)

2. This temporary relief expired in July '19. In any case, these tariffs were not graduated & came with crazy restrictions around consumption over a period of 3mths that saw electricity consumers playing mazzematics with their bills! Such confusion.

#SwitchOffKPLC

@KenyaPower

3. So @KenyaPower seized the opportunity to push for higher electricity tariffs but was badly bounced by Pavel Oimeke #OimekeTariffLies @EPRA_Ke

STORY 1
WaKenya: if your lawyer violates attorney client privilege, say that you've been "ApolloMboya'd".

He was retained & paid by Mr. James Gitau to work on & file a JR application. Said funds were also applied to Petitions 6 & 59 on our behalf.

(thread)

#SwitchOffKPLC

2. Extensive communications incl 30pgs of whatsapp msgs & 100s of emails describe the relationship between attorney & client.

Mboya also introduced Gitau to a Ms. Palmina (Paul Hastings - US Law Firm) admitting to significant assistance from him on Pets 6 & 59.

#SwitchOffKPLC

3. The relationship turned a corner when Mboya - using privileged information from his client - started mtng with akina Keter & Oraro. Realizing that he'd hit pay dirt, he began to cut Gitau off by failing to communicate & file the JR.

Remember, he was his lawyer

WaKenya: corruption in the energy sector often hides in plain sight; often appearing to be above board until you begin to piece together the political and business interests.

The story of Mr. James Gacheru - former MD Jamii Bora Bank 👇🏾

businessdailyafrica.com/markets/market…

#SwitchOffKPLC

2. In Jan 2018, Mr. Gacheru decided to go it alone in the 51MW wind power plant - Kajiado.

By Aug 2019, he had flipped 51% of his Chania Green Energy to a Danish firm & was no longer Chair of Jamii Bora. 👇🏾

@ketercharles

2. WaKenya: @ketercharles & co. have realized from our further affidavits in July '19 for Petition 6 that paying off Mboya to the tune of Sh75M demonstrates fraud, collusion & concealment of facts that are grounds for dismissing the consent orders of 23 Oct, 2018.

Electricity bills will remain high. Lives destroyed.

8,300 Kenyans own the same amount of wealth as the rest of us.

Let that sink in.

And these wealthy get tax exemptions, still our taxes, take loans for Kenyans to pay and then steal those too as we pay back the loans.

Let that sink in.

And then using the money they steal from us, they buy and compromise the media and the church, they conduct election campaigns, they pay foreigners to brainwash and polarize with lies, and then they get themselves "elected."

And the game of 8,300 vs 49,991,700 starts again.

So the one thing the 8,300 won't let us talk about is wealth. They fill the public space with noise. Kieleweke, tangatanga, Embrace, referendum, Competency-based curriculum, huduma namba, corruption court cases with no convictions...

Anything so we dont talk about the 0.1%.
