Wakenya, with few hours to go before we vote for our future, here's some more about the state capture, cronyism & investor shakedowns in the energy sector especially in wind power.

Vote wisely & break the yoke around your neck & mine.

#SwitchOffKPLC 2. As we queue for unga, remember that energy prices - bus fare, fuel, kerosene & electricity bills affect our cash flow and interferes with our ability to manage our household budgets & whether you will eat your ugali with mboga or nyama. Yaani kusukuma wiki.

Did you catch this yesterday?

So: Gulf Energy (acquired by Rubis) illegally imports 30,000MT of fuel on 30Dec '21 & quietly off loaded it until 2Jan '22. No public tendering whatsoever. Gulf "mysteriously" jumped the queue ahead of 4 vessels with legal imports.

#WhoOwnsRubis 2. The 4 vessels attracted demurrage of Ksh100M that will be passed on to us @ the pump. OMAK raised the alarm @DCI_Kenya @EACCKenya @EPRA_Ke
@Petro_MiningKE & threatened legal action.

The Rubis CEO Jean-Christian Bergerone clutched his pearls & feigned outrage.

Dear @RailaOdinga @WilliamsRuto:

What are your respective policy positions on electricity - the cornerstone of our economic growth.

#IfYouWantMyVote

Hint: no slogans, fake or populist promises. Uhuru Kenyatta has already used them all. #SwitchOffKPLC

businessdailyafrica.com/bd/opinion-ana… 2. Uhuru Kenyatta's talk of cheap electricity was, well, cheap.

This is the 5th year of the #SwitchOffKPLC campaign.

Do NOT vote for anyone who spews rhetoric but has no policy position on electricity whose bills loot Wanjiku's kibeti. #IfYouWantMyVote

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 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.

WaKenya, just in:

Diaspora member @KaranjaMatindi (UK), the 2nd interested party, this morning filed a fresh application under a Certificate of Urgency for conservatory orders to prohibit President Uhuru from directing @IEBCKenya to conduct a referendum on BBI.

#LindaKatiba ImageImageImage 2. Until the Diaspora Voting Registration case E069/2020 filed by another Diasporan James Gitau (USA) is heard and determined. It prays for prohibition of IEBC from conducting any Election until it complies with the SCOK orders of 2015 & COA orders of 2014.

BBI is the biggest political hoodwink ever. With horrific constitutional ramifications. Only one family will benefit. Bigly.

#BBINonsense
#LindaKatiba 2. The #BBI hoodwink says the WaKenya have overwhelmingly cheered in support of the mutilation of the COK. That Legislators are humbly heeding the call of their electorate.

Not true 👇🏾

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!

#SwitchOffKPLC

(thread)
businessdailyafrica.com/corporate/comp… 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.

Know that while you defend Mama Ngina's honour, she will always be able to afford private health care. Not your mother.

The 345pger is a white-collar-meets-murder crime scene. @MOH_Kenya @IKMAdvocates @generalelectric @Philips @AGOfficeKenya @Kenyajudiciary @KeTreasury

Eish! 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.

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?

(thread) 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.

So, friends. I have an update:

3rd #COVID19 test yesterday. 32 days since I quarantined/isolated at home.

Still tested positive. What? Surely. . .

My Physician reviewed my case & as per CDC guidelines, I can consider myself covid-free and released from isolation.

(thread) 2. Although not common, it isn't unheard of for people to continuously test positive for #COVID19. Esp those who were symptomatic. I seem to be one of them.

Perhaps I had a heavy viral load that is taking a while to clear from my system.

Symptoms are gone.

Just recovery.

Just to let you know that I tested positive for #COVID19 today despite all the usual precautions.

I am sharing this with you because we must fight stigma. Also, reading the stories & seeing the wider lack of govt preparedness, we really are on our own.

I will keep you posted. 2. I am exceedingly touched by the outpouring of support and love from all you. I can hardly believe it. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

It goes to show that we have the ability and the HUMANITY to carry one another through these difficult #COVID19 times.

WaKenya: Senators Fatuma Dullo & Moses Wetangula - who refuse to engage us - are now hot on the heels of Joseph Ogachi of the single-sourced SPA Infosuv for having misled MAfya House.

the-star.co.ke/news/2020-03-0…

Obviously, Ogachi has a lot he could tell us but. . .

(thread) 2. Senators Dullo, Weta & Co. didn't raise a louder alarm about MES even when they saw that most of the equipment was not even in use!

the-star.co.ke/health/2019-11…

Counties are still forced to pay Sh200M/yr for maintenance of almost-no-value-for-money MES.

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.

The Senate Health Committee sanitized the multi billion Sh MES & behaves as if it has been "brown enveloped" over Mike Macharia's Sh4.9B HCIT contract that was cancelled in Nov '19. Why hasn't it summoned the Theft Architects CS Macharia & PS Muraguri?

the-star.co.ke/news/2020-02-0… 2. Macharia's SST won a Sh4.9B HCIT tender (Big Faux - UHC) but did not have the capital to implement the project besides an alleged Sh650M. That it needed a GoK Letter of Support to unlock Sh1.8B from a local bank? You mean SST could not borrow on its own recognizance or equity?

CJ @dkmaraga, please grow a spine.

#SwitchOffKPLC 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).

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.

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)

(thread) 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.

So: how was Bomas? Do you feel better? Stronger? Can you afford the 20% electricity tariff increase?

Me? I spent the better part of 6hrs at Milimani. Review of Ruling (Pet 59) documents are 🔥🔥

Next mention: 3 March, 2020 (those wheels of Justice. . )

(thread)

#SwitchOffKPLC 2. I also spent time hunting down the typed court proceedings for Pet 59. You recall 👇🏾

We were finally directed to the very efficient Deputy Registrar (@dkmaraga

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?



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.
