Military Boss Samson Mwathethe Warns NASA Over Secession Talks

Chief of Defence Forces General Samson Mwathethe has warned political leaders to stop fueling secession talks.
Speaking during the burial of Murang'a Deputy OCPD Madaraka Mung’aro at Dabaso on Saturday, the military boss warned politicians that the current political situation was not suitable to start such calls.
Gen. Mwathethe said that such talks could divide the country and possibly plunge the country into war.
“The country, everyone know is going through political challenges and our politicians should talk of unity and how they can bring the people together, than engaging in talks that will divide the nation. They should read the mood of the nation and understand that their freedom of expression should not be misused. Any bad and ill talk is a recipe for chaos and destruction,” said Gen Mwathethe.
Some ODM politicians from Kilifi led by Governor Amason Kingi on Friday threatened to push for secession of coast region should Uhuru Kenyatta be declared President in next week's repeat election.
Gen Mwathethe cited a number of countries he has been on a peace mission to, saying that he would never want to see Kenya in such state. “In Iraq for example, I saw a mass grave that stretched for more than eight kilometers. Some politicians are talking but have not seen the impact of war and its threats on the lives of the people,” he said.
Coast police boss Larry Kienga also echoed Mwathethe sentiments saying that the separation talks are dangerous.
“Bad politics leads to insecurity and I want to tell our politicians that we have been peaceful in this region and the trend should continue. I want tell our politicians to weigh their words because once they go out of context, we shall act as we need this country to remain peaceful,” said Mr Kieng.
“What I saw in Bosnia at the height of war should not happen here. Our politicians pretend to be not aware but the peace we enjoy must remain,” he said.

Mwathethe,
The best unity we can get from our current NASA and Jubilee leaders is for them to step down. Both carry heavy negative historical baggage started by their fathers.
We cannot allow two people (Uhuru and Raila) to take a nation of over 40 million citizens for granted as their private and personal political toys!

Nobody is trying to overthrow the govt? Mmmhhh if only you knew. God bless Kenya in solidarity with Uhuru Kenyatta prayer day and reflection. God bless the women and children , God protect all because in few days Kenya is going to cease as we know it or rise above. I hope all of Kenya will live to achieve their dreams. I pray for my family, I hope and pray all will be well with all of them; I hope all Kenyan families in all corners of Kenya live to tell a tale or two in the end. In the end all of us will be on the edge come Oct 26th and we will all stop what we will be doing that day to watch either country on fire or prevail. All the chest thumping will all stop , as we watch the breaking or making of a Nation. God bless Kenya and God bless all Kenyans regardless of political party, religion, class or creed. As of now no more comments. I need my sanity for my family!

I agree 66.66%. The other 33.334% will be included in my agreement if Ruto joins the duo and the entire parliament is disbanded. To reach here, a disciplined and impartial army can help in a bloodless takeover (not coup), and ask the Supreme Court to preside over a fresh election in which none of the current leaders nor iebc staff participated

I am glad Defense Forces General Samson Mwathethe sees what is in NASA and Raila's minds. The mastermind is Raila but he has recruiters such as Akombe, Maraga, Orengo, Chabukali, Nyakali and host of other seniors Judiciary guys. The ultimate goal of Raila is to become president of a republic of Luo Nation out of some of what would be remnants of what is now present day Kenya. His vision is shared by likes of Akombe. Raila, A diehard Communist since the days of Soviet Union seizes the prevailing freedom and democracy that has emerged in the country to create a climate of fear by preaching non-existence things like marginalization to advance his agenda of one day creating a Luo Socialist Nation where he would be its first President. He knows he will NEVER be president of Kenya no matter what. Expect him to come in full force next week but rest assured we will quash him.

@Doreen, secession is not the answer. Even the Luos themselves they will not be united because they have small micro-nations within themselves and everybody want to rule. What will their economy depend on? Not all NASA governors are with Raila. Did you see Nanak saying they need peace in Turkana. It is very easy to talk than to act. Do not think they will sing secession and get a green light. Watalimwa wapate rangi. Look at South Sudan all they do is fight. Look at Eritrea, they got their Independence but nobody want to live there. They die in the sea trying to go to Europe.

Kenya, I agree with you. Secession is like running away from the issues/problems,instead of confronting them.As of now we have educated Kenyans,or should Isay enlightened Kenyans from all tribes. These brains can come together,and find out how to harmoniously unite.Secession would set a bad precedent,and abad message that,if my tribe feels marginalized in this union,its time we break away...not good idea.No compelling reason for it thus far.
Since independence, we have been living in relative harmony,we should find ways to strengthen the union,and not weaken it.
If Tanzania can make its over 50 tribes live as one,so can Kenya.It come down to our leaders. Yes most of them will preach the importance of unity,but employ tactics that discourage unity.We need afresh breed of leaders with a united vision for all tribes in Kenya.

I always avoid to engage myself in a discussion with a layman but I will make an exception in this case. Contrary to what you think I am a Luo from Siaya. More important though is that I am Kenyan first. I am very educated and very rich thanks to my association with hard working Kikuyu brothers and sisters who taught me never to belief in handouts. I am married to a lovely Kikuyu woman whom I love and have two lovely children with. I own a yacht, a private jet, a helicopter, a home in Muthaiga next to Mwai Kibaki's , a home in US and another home one in Europe. I also own an international business. I have met both Orengo and Akombe in person in an official setting. I am successful person because I rejected tribalism along time ago. I suppose I am older than you to know the path Raila is trying to take our Kenya. I was there when his father was trying to advocate communism in Kenya and even brought Russians to build us a hospital in Kisumu. It was the wisdom of a Kikuyu leader who steered us from communism and socialist ideologies that bankrupted so many countries in the World that we are a Nation today. Okulaulanga, you are too young to know where we have come from and to know how things used to be. For now what your testosterone is telling you is Raila, shedding blood, Kikuyus, Kalenjins, successions, looting, fishing and hooliganism. Once bullets start flying and you realize your relatives don't have anywhere to hind senses will come back to you

I hear you Doc. In Bondo Rao recounted the events of the unrest that followed Jomo and Jaramogi fueds. In his words " it was pa, pa, pa, pa it was like popcorn" what a macabre description! I am curious why Rao opted to narrate that event. He was in somber mood, and he did not even want to see anti-JP banners. Additionally those young hooligans-on-hire may be younger to recollect the events of 92'. The only reality they have is from war videos, action movies, video games and university riots. To the young and not-so-young, count your blessings and build your nation-Kenya is better for you than many other places in the world.

I have seen him lecture and I know he is a genius. I know him as a person that does not entertain nonsense. He knows the direction Raila is taking Kenya is a dangerous one and need to be stopped before the country plunges into a civil war.

“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. When wickedness comes, contempt comes also, and with dishonor comes disgrace. The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook. It is not good to be partial to the wicked or to deprive the righteous of justice. A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.”

Dhambi ya ubaguzi ndiyo itavunja nchi inayoitwa Kenya. Mkishaanza kujiita kwamba sisi ni wakikuyu na wao ni wajaluo, basi tayari mmejibagua na wala hakuna tena Kenya, bali makabila tu. Sasa hiyo dhambi ya ubaguzi itaendelea tu na kuwakumba makabila mengine wanaotaka kujitenga. Maana ndani ya kila kabila patatokea ubaguzi. Dhambi ya ukabila ni mbaya sana na ndiyo itavunja nchi inayoitwa Kenya.

Ndugu Mwathathe,
Nakuomba na pia nakusihi uachane na mambo ya siasa. Sisi hapa Kenya hatutaki kutawaliwa na Wanajeshi! Ni nani aliyekupa ruhusa kuzungumzia mambo uliyoyasema leo? Uhuru kama mkuu wa majeshi ndiye anayestahili kusema mambo ambayo ulifoka leo.
Nakusihi na pia nakuomba uende nchi jirani ya Somalia na kutumia ujuzi uliojifunza kwenye masomo yako ya kijeshi ili kudumisha usalama na kuleta amani kwenye katika nchi hiyo.
Huwezi kutumia mabavu kuwalazimisha watu kwenda kupiga kura au kutopiga kura. Kufanya hivyo ni kinyume cha siasa ya kidemokrasia. Mfumo huu tuliouazima kutoka nchi ya Wayunani lakini tumeshindwa kuutekeleza ipasavyo.
Wengi wetu tunaishi ughaibuni si kwa sababu tunapenda kufanya hivyo! Kusema kweli, kila wakati ninaporejea nyumbani huona hali ya karibu kila kitu ikiendelea kuzorota. Mimi binafsi natoka kwenye taifa dogo la Kenya ambalo bila shaka huenda hujalisikia. Lakini naona mengi ambayo twaweza kushirikiana pamoja kama wazalendo wa nchi yetu tukufu ili kuiboresha nchi yetu.
Nitamalizia kwa kunukuu methali hii muhimu ya Kiswahili:
" Asiyefunzwa na mamaye hufunzwa na ulimwengu usio na huruma." Kila la heri.
Mzalendo shupavu - Imara

Instead of plunging into the politics of Kenya while in uniform, Mwathethe should resign first and get into the field officially, tukutane naye mundu-khu-mundu!! Else he would have examined why these talks have come up now, of all the times, and addressed the issues raised. Empty warnings will not stop us from thinking, or expressing our thoughts, as these are guarded by our constitution.

Hurtful. The bottom line is: These two candidates have unfinished business rooted deep in their heritage. We are just but collateral damage in their power pursuit, especially so for Ojinga, pardon...I mean, babu Odinga.
