@Obi
you make valid points. however the problem is not a simple one that can be 'wiped out' overnight. actually i wonder what you mean by 'wipe out'. some time last year,the prime minister alluded to 'talking' to them in an attempt to rehabilitate them (yea i think thats should be the right term). whatever happened to those plans? dialogue has been shown to work sometimes.....obama is trying it and the results might just surprise..when iran agrees to halt nuclear proliferation and al qaeda quits terrorizing america.

Simplistic solutions like killing all the mungiki have not solved this problem.

Simpleton attitudes from Tusker Baridi and co. don't only not solve the problem but do not deserve an audience. I know alot of kikuyu and they aren't mungiki.

However,I have a bone to pick with those who bring up land as the problem when anything goes wrong. Who's land are you talking about? How far in history should we go to find the so called 'rightful landowners'? So now Tusker and co want all the kikuyu to beat up Kenyatta on an assumed notion that they stole land. Ah,lets go and kill all the delameres and those that own ranches. Actually Moi is still alive,lets deal with him right now! Grow up!

We are in 2009,trying to convince anyone that land was stolen or not in 1963 is very stupid. Made more stupid by the fact that all of you here were not born then. I hazard to guess that most of you never saw Kenyatta. All your arguments are based on heresay,innuendo and romour. If it were true,why not start in Mau forest,where everyone is burning land that is causing drought and floods all over Kenya?

Mungiki is a social issue. I have said so before and stand by it. When parents fail to lead their children to the right path and look the other way as they do criminal acts,mungiki is the outcome. For those who think it is a solely kikuyu problem,then think again. I would like you to visit a slum and then let us see if the youth in that area will let you go because you aren't a kikuyu.

Killing people never solved the problem. Remember when the took out the Taliban,you cheered. Now another group is taking out the mungiki. You are still cheering.

The only solution will be social change. those cheering that the kikuyu are dying might regret it later when their own do the same. By that time,the mungiki may have been solved but what we shall have are hooligans who uproot the railway that feeds their own areas. Go figure!

Parents should stop blaming the gov't when their children burn schools. Parents should spend more time with their kids instead of going to the bar or kesha. parents should be parents and let children know they are responsible for their lives and not kenyatta,delamere,the white man,Odinga,or any other boogeyman you will come up with.

Kenyan must learn to family plan. If you give a man 10 acres today,they will be 16 people living there in 30 years time. People are giving birth with no breaks. That is our biggest problem. Delamere land can still be put to proper economic use in a way the environment can be protected. Sub-dividing it put an end to this and the PM has said it before. The carrying capacity for land in Kenya is for 35 million people. With Mau gone,this number will come down. Uganda 100 million. Tanzania 90 million. Hao wengine mumeza wanamalizia wengine.

Let us not look at who owns what. Let us look at how best we can use our land without bringing politics.

When these Mungiki misfits are not extorting money from hard working Kenyans,they fashion themselves as dogs of war,ready to be hired for any dirty jobs.
- During the PEV some Kikuyu personalities,bought those services from Mungiki.
- In the run up to the election,Raila did business with them,and managed to convince them to follow/vote for him.

During the negotiations for the Accord which culminated in the Grand coalition Gov't,Mungiki were swearing in Railas name.
Raila then,in some choice words paid glowing tribute to them,as he defended them,much to the chargrin of his larger constituency.

When Raila was finally co-opted into gov't,in an arrangement that most were beguiled to thinking - he wielded lots of leeway,Mungiki fraternity were toasting and popping up the champagne for their hero!!!!

All that not withstanding,a solution that works need be found.
Mungiki must be stopped on their tracks, pronto.

Kibaki are you listening????

@B-Timer,your arguement does not wash.

The Mzungu took land from Kenyans,and sold to other kenyans. The only reason some kenyans did not grab land after independence like the learned thugs is coz they did not know how,or why.

To them land was a communal asset to be shared,they didn't know one would be issued with a title deed that would make land the personal property of one person. In short they were robbed,or disenfranchised.

This arguement about re-possessing land from the rich being an injustice does not make sense,I don't think the kenyatta's or the Moi's would suddenly become paupers if 90% of their land was re-possesed,they have other assets. Kenyatta's (substantial shares in CBA,AIG among others. ownership of Brookside and Tuzo,Blushield insurance,numerous city buldings,heritage hotels,peponi school). Moi's (Substantial shares in CFC Bank,Unga Limited,Transnational bank,ownership of various businesses including Kabarak University and Sovereign Group.

All this assets have been accumulated through theft of gava cash and sale of government property

Majority of Kenyans live on less than $ a day,tell me where is the justice here. Warudishe shamba,if they must own land,then let them be given half of Turkana or Marsabit.


I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.

The worst thing about many issues in Kenya is we refuse to deal with the issues one by one and directly but instead look to bring in other issus and deal with them collectively. There is a squatter problem in Central-specifically some pockets of Nyeri (but even larger Pwani),RV. Deal with that. There is a Mungiki problem. Crime & extortion. Deal with that. There is an unemployment problem among the youth-Kenyawide. There is land corruptly acquired-again Kenyawide. Deal with that.

The other worst thing is Kenyans don't listen to each other or learn becuase they read Nation etc. AE Mathenge and myslef come Karatina/Kirinyaga areas. We've told what the issue relating to those killings. Yet blah blah...

The work of gava,is to organize and lead the kenya society,

80% of kenyans are subsistence farmers (or so says the stats),the former land owners (who are now big business owners) have options away from the land,but most kenyans don't. Stats also show that the most successful agricultural practice are the small scale farmers.

The gava needs to re-organize the society,the highlands are best for small scale agriculture and it should be so,the Tana delta's and the low lying irrigation depedent areas can be used for largescale farming.

The Mungiki's should not be rewarded with anything or for that matter even acknowledged as a group,but they are an indication of deep underlying socio-economic issues that we are facing currently.

The first step to solving this problems is to address the institutionalized grabbing of public property (primarily land) since independence. The only reason people are trying to grab Mau forest is because they have seen their leaders doing the same.

I really don't understand why you guys keep on responding to this Tusker Baridi guy....i have been following his posts in different topics and almost all of them have been anti-kikuyu. He is always the first person to defend Raila while at the same time trashing MK & all PNU MPs especially Kikuyu MPs....You need to move on and please stop this pointless anti-kikuyu campaign you seem to potray in your posts.

Just look at some of his posts on Equity Bank...
