Mohammed Ali Jicho pevu ends Saidoo winning calculations in Nyali politics 2017

Reasons you should vote Mohammed Ali as Nyali MP

On hearing the name Nyali, the thought that comes to many is that the residents consist of the rich and moneyed. Though a good percentage of population in Nyali are the rich, a big number consist of Mombasa’s poor. Kongowea is such place in Nyali where middle and low-income level people stay. Other places in Nyali which host the low-cost residents include Bombolulu, Kadzandani, Mkomani, Bakarani, Bamburi Mtambo & Ziwa la Ng'ombe. Nyali represents a society where the rich and poor peacefully co-exist. But the poor's numerical strength is bigger than the rich in Nyali. The decision lies with the poor, and not the rich.

Now, a rich man cannot represent the poor effectively, especially if he/she was born rich. A good leader needs to be empathetic of his people’s needs, having gone through the same and understands what the people need. It is for this among many other reasons that Nyali constituency requires a leader who has risen through the ranks, from poverty to capacity, who has made it through experience and can relate well with the poor and rich of Nyali, and bridge the existing gap between the two groups of people.

Mohammed Ali is the right man for Nyali. Let me tell you why.

Moha, as he is popularly known, is a perfect story of grace to grass. He hustled through childhood to his youth, from a poor background to a hustler living in Mtopanga, who never accepted failure as a result. He also lived in Majengo, Guraya and Ganjoni as he struggled with life in Mombasa. He has worked as a casual coffee barister with Starbucks coffee in Saudi Arabia during is long hustles in life. He loved sports, cherished making friends and capitalized on his speech prowess to make inroads into places less reached by youths his age. Moha worked 9 months at Pwani fm, without pay. But he worked still. He later got a job as a reporter & presenter with Radio Salaam, where he impacted on lives of many with his sports program and the investigative features that unearthed corrupt dealings in Coast municipalities and parastatals. Through is investigative features, he was able to stop or at least reduce the levels of looting of public funds and resources by public servants in the port among other parastatals. He has done this to date, magnifying it to the whole country having got a job at a national broadcaster to enable him do so. Moha detested corruption from when he was young.

Moha loves the youth. A youth himself, he relates very well with the youth of Nyali. He knows the story of youths, relates well with the plight of youths and has a heart willing to help youths rise from disadvantaged positions to better positions in life. He knows a youth needs education, a job, security, a house and a decent life. Given a chance, Moha can ensure of that for the youths he represents. You know how? He shall ensure resources trickle down to the last person. I know he can, for he loves to do that. He abhors corruption; he loves to see youths and women thrive.
All Moha wants is a country where everyman is equal in the eyes of the Lord. He believes all men are equal and deserves equality in the share of public resources. Unfortunately, the government which should facilitate that equality does the exact opposite, creating a wide gap between the poor and the rich. Moha will not rest until the government of the killer regime jubilee is out of power and Raila becomes the president.
Moha knows that women give birth to us, and raise us up. He respects women for the toils they go through to ensure their families are raised in a proper manner. And he wouldn’t want to see a woman suffer. I have seen him stop by the road side to help a woman cross the road. I have seen him buy unga for all women in the plot he stayed in. I have seen him treat women with respect they deserve. He is the best bet for women in Kongowea, Freretown. He is the best person to represent women of Maweni, Mkomani and Kadzandani. For he understands their plight.

Moha is the best man for Nyali through ODM party. ODM is widely followed in Mombasa and Coast generally, and Moha has the party’s ideals at heart. He loves ODM. He loves CORD. Moha is the best man Raila has for Nyali. He shares the same ideologies as ODMs party leader of fighting for people’s rights. His resolve to fight corruption has put him at loggerheads with the government, the same place Raila strolls. They sing the same tune when it comes to governance. Given a chance, Moha can play a pivotal role in CORD. He can be a perfect replacement for Ababu Namwamba.

His challengers for the Nyali seat ride on the backs of their relatives in high places. They are people out of touch with reality on the ground. One is a cousin to the governor Ali Hassan Joho and hopes to capitalize on his cousin’s successes in politics. Saido has thrived on illegal Port deals to create wealth that he is ready to use in his campaign at the expense of port workers and the port as a whole. He uses his gang of 10 rowdy youths to threaten and bully his competitors and whoever is against his flimsy ambition that cannot see light of day. Question is, can he share the same podium with his brother Ali hassan joho in Mombasa and the country at large? Hell no! He is a faceless man who can't garner votes for Governor Ali Hassan Joho and Raila Amollo Odinga. Mohammed Ali aka Jicho Pevu is better suited for that. He has a face and a brand to sell Raila and Joho. He is the voice of the voiceless. He has every single Kenyan behind him. They love him to death. The other one, Ashraf Bayusuf, is a reject of the family. He mismanaged his father’s business. His family is angry with him for mismanagement of multi-million shillings business. He can’t therefore purport to be able to lead a constituency if he couldn’t manage a business.
ODM should therefore conduct its nomination with lots of credibility and focus on a win. Direct nomination to kins of who-is-who in the party will only do more harm than good to the party, like it did with Kajembe & co. Shambled nominations would also be costly to the party. That is why we call for a free and fair nomination process; and we believe Moha will floor all his competitors due to his +ve ideologies for the people of Nyali, and the manifesto he stands for. A credible nomination will mean a credible outcome of election.
It is upon us as Nyali residents to make the right, informed decision about who we elect our MP. But we can’t do this if we aren’t registered voters. Get your IDs, go and get yourselves registered in the IEBC offices and wait to cast your vote to the right leader. Vote Moha, vote hope and prosperity.

mohammed Ali entrance in politics is a big threat to people who have raped democracy

Why Mohammed Ali's Anticipated Entrance Into Politics Giving Jubilee Sleepless Nights If you want to kill a dog, accuse him of having rabies, goes a French saying. For a good period of time, the senseless, fearless investigative journalist Mohammed Ali, better known in the circles as Moha Jicho Pevu drawn from his facts hitting and explosive expose piece, Jicho Pevu a programme that has since revolutionized the Investigative journalism in Kenya. Moha has become punching bag especially for the reigning regime's leaders and their followers. The indomitable journalist, in numerous occasions have been labeled a terrorist sympathizer from what the system's cohorts want him to be seen as given his exposes that have criticized the government and poked loopholes in the fight against terrorism. This ranges from unwarranted arrests of Muslims to extrajudicial killings moves that he has vehemently opposed. Death threats have become order of the day for the young defiant journalist who proves to be a thorn in the flesh for the government. He's been perceived as a state's enemy exposing him to attacks from jubilee's chauvinist. The Latest attack came from Interior Security PS Nkaiserry during recent discovery of a mass grave in Mandera, the CS accused Moha of liaising with the Alshabaab and propagating their agenda, he went further demanding the journalist to ask for forgiveness of which he courageously dismissed standing his ground on living the truth. All these attacks yearn for the biggest question. What is it with Mohammed Ali that is making the jubilee government overwhelmingly disturbed. According to close sources to the highest office in the land, several schemes have been dispatched in a bid to discredit one of the most trusted journalist in Kenya owing to his undisputed investigative pieces. Why would they break arms to discredit him? Inside sources confirms months of speculations that Mohammed Ali is arming himself for entry into active politics which means he'll dump his journalism career anytime soon. His anticipated entry into politics is giving jubilee's strategists hell of a time as this would change the whole picture and how politics is played in Kenya. Moha is seen leaning more towards the opposition leader Raila Odinga who's also pumping to have his most crucial shot in the incoming presidential elections. The government's operatives are more than shaken that Moha's entrance into Tinga's team will not only change the campaign game but also undo months and years of their 'hardwork'. While it's still not clear where Ali will be vying, sources close reveal he will be going for Nyali constituency seat. However, what's giving the government's wreath is his relevance in the larger national political scene. There are genuine fears that Ali's entrance into politics would shake the Muslim voting block and reshape their voting patterns. It is feared that his defiant voice will be more relevant to the discriminated Muslim society who feel less Kenyan and form a bigger voting block. Currently, the Muslim community lack a visible vocal advocate for their rights a void that Moha can easily fill and own. In the case this happens, the Muslim voting block will shift allegiance and now you see why the system is worried. The Muslims have genuine issues they've been crying out on from unwarranted arrests to extrajudicial killings to isolation in development especially in the North Eastern regions which is also hit with lack of ID issuance epidemic. In general, the normal Muslim in the community has a genuine discriminatory issue to raise. These leaves them vulnerable to any strong voice to fight for their rights and space in Kenya, this is where Moha comes in and hell for the Jubilee government. Similarly, the youths, who forms majority of the population in Kenya and also eligible voters would easily identify with Moha. There are fears that a revolution would be sparked and who else would lead such a course of not fearless, respected heads as Mohammed Ali. The youths of this country have often been told they're the leaders of tomorrow, a day that never came and now going for the leadership posts themselves. Have you ever thought the impact it would make if the youths of the country rose above limits to bring change? All that is needed are young blood courageous enough to start the fire and this what worries the jubilee operatives most as Moha seems from his frequent declaration that he's at war with the dragging regime. They're afraid he will influence the youths to rebel against the sitting government and gunner enough votes to ouster them from power. In the final analysis, Mohammed Ali has a national trustworthy face, thanks to his excellent jobs on the media that has earned him the trust from many Kenyans. Jicho Pevu, a show that he pioneered is seen as the truth speaker in Kenyan media, imagine that effect on politics. Moha as a public figure, currently enjoys a national level look, this will fuel a major boost to Raila's campaign and duel major pain to the government who will now have difficult time in countering his influence. According to talks in the CORD corridors, Moha is expected once making it official to joining politics to head a revolutionary team that will hold the government head on as the electioneering period catches fire. There is unease in the government's circles that Moha's face as a trusted public figure would deal the jubilee team a major blow especially in the nation phase. Despite all the threats and attacks from obvious quarters, the fearless journalist is not getting off his seat anytime soon. His pursuance for justice that has put him in the bad books of the government doesn't seem to be catching cold any minute as he comes out more defiant towards the current regime which he believes is dragging Kenyans back to the bad days. Should Moha be a worried man? I end it with his own words 'You can't kill a dead man, I'm ready to die. We will get back this country to where it should be' "We will make this country great, one day". Revolution will not be televised. there is nothing for us without us. Its a RAILA ODINGA PRESIDENCY COME WHAT MAY.

Tycoons in mombasa also worship politcians.

Coast tycoons fight for financial survival:

Coast (Mombasa) business tycoons who once lived as kings and who literally controlled close to half business transactions in the coastal region are said to be facing hard economic times since Uhuru Kenyatta took over power in 2013. Investigations reveal that most of the coast tycoons had in 2013 believed that Cord presidential candidate Raila Odinga was headed for the presidential victory only for Uhuru to be declared the ultimate winner.

However, their troubles are linked to buying of land in Lamu for port construction which backfired when Senator James Orengo was then lands minister.
Sources say the tycoons heavily funded and bankrolled Raila’s campaigns to the tune of hundreds of millions of shillings with promises that once ODM formed the government, they would be considered and rewarded with multi-billion tenders to recover the campaign money they offered to Cord.
The tycoons who are known to have wielded both economic and political power during the retired president Daniel Moi regime are said to have closed more than half of their businesses after they lost lucrative government tenders.

During the 1992 campaigns, the tycoons funded Kanu and Moi’s campaigns running into hundreds of millions and were later rewarded with government contracts especially at the Kenya Ports Authority. In order to consolidate political power, the tycoons apart from sponsoring presidential
campaigns, also sponsored parliamentary candidates to ensure all powerful and outspoken MPs were compromised and silenced, a game in which they perfectly well succeeded in.
Apart from winning government tenders, the tycoons also used the power of their wallets to compromise top government officials mainly at the port of Mombasa and at the Kenya Revenue Authority where their companies were involved in serious tax evasion ranging into billions. Because of the political power they wielded and being politically correct and connected, no KRA officials would dare investigate their companies lest you are kicked
out of the job.
The same scenario was witnessed in 1997 but things changed in 2002 when the Narc took over power from Kanu through Mwai Kibaki. Sources, however, divulged that the tycoons managed to penetrate the Narc administration through the links of the controversial Othaya MP Mary Wambui.
It was during Kibaki’s first term in office that the tycoons again became influential and did business with the Narc administration. The same was again witnessed in 2007 when Kibaki run for the second term and upon formation of grand coalition government, some of the tycoons aligned themselves with Raila while others remained loyal to Kibaki.

Then come 2013 elections, majority of the coast tycoons were in Raila’s camp where they bankrolled his campaigns. This was the beginning of their tribulations as the Jubilee administration had blacklisted them and could not do business with the government. Following Jubilee’s rejection of their request for contracts consideration, life has never been the same again for them. Most of them have been reduced to beggars while others are pale
shadow of self.

Investigations reveal that most of their businesses were closed because they could no longer win the lucrative tenders with the government. Some are
under investigations by KRA and are facing serious cases of tax evasion while others have had their properties and businesses auctioned by commercial banks over non-payment of rents. Others linked to international drug trafficking after pocketing police officers based in Mombasa have found themselves in trouble or even in courts facing extradiction to foreign countries as those involved in ivory international trade are languishing in jail.

This week, we reveal how coast tycoons are feeling the heat as a result of change of guard at State House and their failure to penetrate the Uhuru  handlers. Tahir Sheikh Said One of such tycoons is Tahir Sheikh Said who sources say is facing serious financial constraints. Last week, word leaked out that
the Kenya Commercial Bank had taken over his milling company citing its default of a Sh1 billion loan. Bank sources divulged that KCB has in excess of Sh1billion non-performing loans with TSS Unga Millers.
Following the takeover, none of the directors, shareholders, employees and no other person is authorised to transact any business on behalf of the company without express written consent from the administrator. KCB had in May issued a notice indicating that it had taken over management of the
miller. “Notice is hereby given that the above company was placed under administration by Kenya Commercial Bank Limited on May 30 2016,” the bank said in a recent statement.
To show how badly TSS is doing, sources claim that the businessman is said to have Sh8 billion in total non-performing loans with a number of banks
booked under other subsidiaries in his business empire. Those who have done business with him say that he made his wealth through land ownership.

According to wealth in Kenya Report of 2014, he is listed as one of the largest land owners in the country.
His fortunes began to dwindle when the Jubilee administration cancelled title deeds to large tracts of land in Lamu that were associated with him. Some of the land is said to have been used to secure loans in excess of Sh5 billion from two public listed banks. Other banks said to be considering auctioning him is NIC Bank where he has failed to repay Sh1.4 billion and National Bank who are demanding Sh300 million.
It has now surfaced that TSS has been entangled in several court cases, most of them involving land ownership. His multi-billions shillings investments in transport and petroleum is said to be crumbling as well as the TSS Transporters, a passenger bus service that plies the Nairobi -Mombasa route, and TSS service stations, one near Pangani on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Ali Punjani

He was politically correct and connected during the previous regimes though many know him as a an alleged drug dealer, a claim that he has rubbished as “hearsay and malice” by business rivals. He is also said to be undergoing difficult economic times as his multi-millions business empire is almost collapsing. The billionaire owns several five-star hotels in the UK, Dubai and Africa and had also acquired Sun-n-Sand Hotel to his business. He has of late taken a back seat and is hardly seen public these days. He is known to be spending most of his time at the hotel contemplating on what to what to do next.
Punjani also owns Nyali International Hotel, Rising Star Commodities, Punjani Electrical Limited, Real Estates, Helicopters Sales and one of the Marshalls Group owners. The group holds the franchise for some of the biggest names in the automotive industry, including KIA, TATA trucks and buses, TRW Lucas, Delphi, Prestolite and Fulmen in East Africa. During his heyday, he used to drive a Rolls Royce Phantom, BMW X6 2012 Edition and Ferarri Trouble for Punjani began when he was mentioned adversely over the Lamu land saga, after documents showed that he sold one of the controversial parcels for approximately Sh870 million.
The buyers allegedly never set foot on the land before buying it, but only surveyed it by helicopter. Punjani, and a Gulbani B Punjani are allegedly directors in Rising Star Commodities, which transferred 40,140 acres (16,200ha) to Calyon Enterprises. Owners of Calyon then used the document to secure Sh870 million from Diamond Trust Bank to pay Rising Star.

Currently, Punjani fortunes have dwindled. His marriage has hit rocks with his personal assistant a one Amin dying in controversial circumstances. Amin was his brother-in-law. It is said before his death, Punjani blamed Amin for having messed his business empire by spending a fortune on buying land in Lamu whose title deeds were cancelled by Jubilee government. The key playersin the land deal was James Orengo then Lands minister and Mohammed Hatimy a former football official.Of late, Punjani cannot be found on his mobile phone and sleeps for 18 hours at his Nyali home. His office at Shimazi area that was beehive of activity in Kibaki era with who is who visiting is a pale shadow of its former itself.
We have established, Punjani owes ABC Bank a loan running into billions of shillings and soon will be declared bankrupt. He took a loan to buy a hotel from businessman Kamlesh Pattni. He is reportedly has resorted to drug abuse since his mother died.

Ashok Doshi

Mombasa-based billionaire, Ashok Doshi, is also experiencing hard financial times as most of businesses have closed down. He was recently in the news when his Sh1 billion was locked in the under receivership Imperial Bank. He has since sued the Central Bank of Kenya. Ashok is associated with the Doshi Group, a company with interests in manufacturing and trading, including the sale of building materials and power cables. Founded in 1923 in Mombasa, the Doshi Group has grown organically and through acquisitions, it has become one of Kenya’s biggest manufacturing firms.

Mohamed Jaffer

Mohamed Jaffer is yet another coast tycoon whose business empire is said to be on its knees. He is the proprietor of the multi-million dollar investment that is the Grain Bulk Handlers Limited. During the Moi and Kibaki regimes, he was one of the wealthiest and best-networked tycoons in Coast region and beyond.
His financial woes began when he delinked himself from the Kibaki administration in the run-up to 2007 general elections when he supported and bankrolled Raila’s campaign kitty to the tune of hundreds of millions. He is known to enjoy a close friendship with Raila.
During the grand coalition government, he is known to have won several tenders courtesy of his friendship with Raila. In fact a joke is being cracked that he used to request Raila to go to his home and the then PM always honored the request. Apart from Raila, he is also known to have funded a number of politicians including cabinet minister and those aspiring for various political seats. Those who know him well say that apart from being a businessman, he was also a serious power broker in Coast politics.
He is the founder of the MJ Group, Kenya’s largest provider of cargo handling services. The group’s flagship company owns a grain terminal that specialises in the discharge and handling of bulk grain cargo at the Port of Mombasa, a coastal Kenyan town. The facility was built at a cost of over $35 million in the 1990s and is now valued at over $140 million. The MJ Group also owns several cargo handling terminals and container freight stations in Kenya, Uganda and the United States as well as LPG Terminals and a grain terminal at the port of Lake Charles in Louisiana in the United States.

Mohammed Sajjad

Life has not been very kind to the Mombasa commodity trader whom sources now say is facing financial constraints as most of his businesses are collapsing. His business empire faced serious setbacks when he surrendered Sh1.6 billion prime public property, including recreational parks and a clinic, after years of court battles. To avoid further court battles where he was paying millions to lawyers who sources say made a kill by representing him in various cases, he also handed back 18 title deeds for the plots acquired irregularly to Governor Hassan Joho and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission in the year 2014.
Sajjad, through his company Comen Limited, had initially challenged attempts by the anti-graft agency to repossess the land that had been set aside for public amenities. The land parcels was reserved for public recreation, bus parks, municipal council parking, ferry services, public school, prison and clinics.
The defunct Mombasa Municipal Council is said to have sold Uhuru Gardens to Comen Limited in 1995 for Sh55 million in order to pay striking workers’ salaries. Feeling the heat, Sajjad has relocated to Dubai where he is doing business.

Mohammed Bawazir

He was associated with Bawazir Glasses and owned Bawazir Plaza and Milly Millers. He is found in Kibokoni area. He has sold his properties and his son plans to run for MCA seat.

Abubakar Joho

He is the brother to Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho. His name had previously featured prominently in the list of suspected drug barons. His name also appeared in the Armenian brothers’ saga– the Aturs. He was mentioned as longtime business associates of Mary Wambui. Abubakar is a director of Chelamed (K) Ltd, one of the companies recently mentioned in connection with airport security passes dished out freely to individuals and companies associated with the Artur brothers.
Recently, the government allegedly ordered the immediate closure of container depots associated with him and his brother Hassan. Sources say it was suspected the depots are used to smuggle contraband goods into the country. In January this year, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and Kenya Revenue Authority intercepted smuggled sugar worth Sh56 million at a Container Freight Station in Mombasa.

Alnoor Jiwani

Jiwani had allegedly perfected the art of dumping oil in Kenya and had then powerman Nicholas Biwott as his godfather. He allegedly evaded taxes and his Alber Petroleum was linked to many scandals. He has gone silent of late, so as his godfather, the ailing Biwott.

The Akashas

Life has never been the same to the larger Akasha family following the killing of their patron Ibrahim Akasha in The Netherlands. Akasha was killed in 200o as he walked hand-in-hand with his wife when a gunman on a motorbike sped by. The two had just stepped into Bloedstraat, (Bloodstreet) in one of Amsterdam’s redlight districts, when the man whipped out a pistol and fired at Akasha at close range.
It was believed Akasha was caught in the crossfire of a vicious war between Dutch and Yugoslav gangs. Reports indicated Akasha had fallen out with Yugoslav barons active in The Netherlands and other parts of Europe over the non-payment of a consignment of heroin worth Sh200 million. The Akasha dynasty had also suffered its biggest setback when Kenyan and US agents raided the family residence in Nyali, Mombasa and arrested the late drug baron’s son and heir Baktash. Also arrested were his younger brother Ibrahim, Indian drug felon Vijay ‘Vicky’ Goswami and Pakistani national

Gulam Hussein

It is now believed that despite Ibrahim’s death years ago; the Akasha family remained powerful, apparently deploying its immense wealth to control police and some judicial officials in Mombasa and Nairobi. By no means, will the family fall into ruin with this arrest.
Following Akasha’s murder in 2000, the family, which is composed of sons from three wives, descended into a violent succession war that led to the death Kamaldin who was shot at a petrol station in Makupa, Mombasa. Kamaldin was perceived to be a notorious and cunning son.
Nurdin Abdalla Akasha, popularly known as Tinta, was investigated and detained for Kamaldin’s murder but released without charge. Kamaldin, Kamal and Baktash are said to have been their father’s favourite sons, with reports indicating that Kamaldin had been poised to inherit Akasha’s mantle before he was killed.
Baktash was investigated for Kamal’s death but was also set free without charges. He was, however, to be caught up in another controversy soon after when his wife Suad, was found dead and hanging by a string in his house in Nyali. She was buried amid controversy over the cause of death. Following pressure from family members, the body was exhumed and an autopsy conducted. The results of the autopsy have never been made public and investigations into her murder have not been concluded to date.

SS Mehta and Sons

The SS Mehta Company which was established in 1959 dealing in civil engineering works and directly involved in road construction is also facing financial difficulties and in dire doldrums.
Sources say the company enjoyed political goodwill from the Moi family and was illegally awarded multi-billion road construction tenders during the Moi regime. Their tenders were cut down following the entry of the Narc government under the leadership Mwai Kibaki

Kabogo says Mt Kenya will not vote for Ruto in 2022

 

 Kiambu governor, William kabogo has told Deputy President William ruto that he should not depend on Mt Kenya votes for presidency come 2022

It is now not a sure thing as to who Mt Kenya residents will vote for as president come 2022.

This is according to Kiambu governor William Kabogo who was speaking on election matters in Juja.

In a statement that seemed to be addressed to Deputy President William Ruto, Kabogo said that the decision of the people as to who would become president would not be automatic and favoured towards a specific candidate. 

He stated that whoever wanted to be president would have to earn the trust and loyalty of the people.

Kabogo was speaking at Muiri farm in Juja where he went on to explain that the region had quite a number of votes which had to be split accordingly once President Kenyatta was done with his term.

"Even if we promised someone a seat, we will have to sit down and talk. We will not just give away the seat like that. 

We have the votes and, therefore, have to be respected," said Kabogo.

This comes just months after President Kenyatta had visited the area asking the people to support Ruto as president come 2022.

The decision is now in the hands of Kiambu residents and what they decide will most probably determine who the next president of Kenya will be.

Despite Kabogo’s claims, Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichungw'a who is also a very controversial critic of the governor said that it was not dependent on him as to how the people of the area vote. 

He pointed out that each individual would vote for who they deem fit for the presidential seat when that time comes.
