Chaos Erupts in Kisumu, Leaves One Dead and Two Injured

Chaos Erupts in Kisumu, Leaves One Dead and Two Injured

Residents in Jua Kali, Kisumu protested on Tuesday following an alleged police shooting of three people in the neighbourhood.

One person has succumbed with two others receiving treatment in hospital. Kisumu County Police Commander Alphonse Wambua said that investigations are underway to avail more information on the malee.

The mess flared after the police tried in vain to stop a PSV vehicle, thereafter they resorted to using teargas and allegedly fired live bullets that hit 3 passersby. Of the 3 people shot, a lady died while receiving treatment at Aga Khan Hospital. Kisumu Resident Association chairman Audi Ogada confirmed the fatality and reported that the other victims were nursing gunshot wounds at the Kisumu county hospital.

Kisumu residents have strongly condemned the shooting and called upon the Kisumu Central police station to own up to the mistake. They expressed aggravation in the police use of live bullets.

"During the scuffle, the woman, who was just a passenger on a motorbike, was shot and two people were injured on the leg and hand as the trigger-happy shot at people," said Mr Jack Osen, chairman of the Jua Kali Artisans.

Shops in Jua Kali remained closed on Tuesday morning as traders marched to the Kisumu Central Police Station to express their displeasure.

Sijui kama umepata nafasi ya kujifunza somo linaloitwa "KKK." Kirefu chake ni Kufikiri Kwa Kina. Tafsiri yake kwa Kiingereza ni CTS - Critical Thinking Skills.

Mandishi yako hapa pamoja na ndugu yako MENYE na wengine yanahuzunisha na kutisha sana. Kwa nini? Tunaishi katika dunia ambayo watu wanasema lugha tofauti, mila tofauti na pia imani tofauti. Huwezi kuwafanya watu wengine wasio wa asili yako kufuata mila zako.

Mimi natoka kwenye taifa dogo la Kenya ambalo wanaume wote wanatahiriwa (circumcised), zamani, wasichana nao pia walitahiriwa. Sasa, wasichana hawatahiriwi kama ilivyokuwa mila zetu za zamani. Ndugu zetu waLuo hawatahiri wanaume. Hizi ni mila zao. Huwezi kuwatukana au kuwadharau kwa sababu ya mila zao. Kwa hiyo nakuomba wewe (juju), Menye, na Mkenya halisi mtumie akili mliyopewa na MUUMBAJI MKUU (Mwene Nyaga) na kukubali ya kwamba, watu wote si WaGikuyu ambao wanatahiri wanaume wao.

Ninyi mmezoea kuaandika matusi kwa Ndugu zetu Waluo kwa mila za mababu zao. Ningependa kukuarifu ya kwamba, wanaume wanaotahiriwa duniani ndio wachache kuliko wasiotahiriwa. Nakuomba tangu leo, usiendeshe motokaa ya KiJapan, Kikorea, Kijerumani kwa sababu motokaa zao zinatengenezwa na watu ambao hawatahiriwi. Pia usipande treni ya SGR kwa sababu ilijengwa na WaChaina ambao hawatahiriwi.

Niliposoma mambo uliyoandika hapa:

If you give them a cut, I am certain that them old juveniles will clever up a little bit!!!" Kusema kweli, niliposoma mambo uliyoandika hapa, nilikusikitikia kabisa na kukuonea huruma mwingi sana. Kwa nini? Ni lazima uheshimu lugha za watu wengine, mila za watu wengine, imani za watu wengine zilizo tofauti na za "Ciana cia Gikuyu na Mumbi."

Niwaigua?

Namheshimu sana Rais Mstaafu Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau kwa kufanya kazi pamoja na Ndugu Raila Juma Oginga bila kufikiria juu ya mila zake. Usisahau ya kwamba babake Raila (Oginga Odinga) alichaguliwa na Waingereza awe Waziri Mkuu wa kwanza wa Kenya 12/12/1963 halafu akakataa na kumpa babake Uhuru kuwa Waziri Mkuu wa Kenya wa kwanza. Raila naye alimuunga mkono Hayati Mwai kuwa rais wa Kenya baada ya utawala wa Toroitich.
Ningependa kumalizia kwa kukukumbusha Wimbo wetu wa Taifa unaosema:

"...Na tukae na udugu amani na uhuru raha tupate na ustawi."

Kenya ina mataifa madogo (micro nations) 70. Ni lazima tuheshimiane kama ndugu na dada ili watu wote wa Kenya wajitambulishe kama WaKenya na kupendana kama ndugu na dada na kuishi kwa amani na uhuru kama wimbo wetu wa taifa unavyosema.

In other words, you are blackmailing me to love Jaluos, of course I don’t!

I am certain you have your hates, it’s your prerogative!

Yup I do hate Jaluos until such a time that they will mature enough from a cult of mayhem and destruction! Until then, in my sharp mind, still hates but not limited to Jaluos (not MM type), thieves, murderers, rapists, wife beaters, politicians thieves and murderers, Christian terrorists, Muslim terrorists, fackin liars of God, pretentious semi gods, fackin neighbors wife, fackin neighbors husband, deadbeats, violent Jaluos, the peoples conman, etc etc

JUJU

Sielewi kwa nini unatumia lugha isiyofaa, iliyojaa matusi kueleza yaliyompo akilini mwako.

Ulisema, "... I do hate Jaluos..." Kweli unatumia akili uliyopewa na MUUMBAJI MKUU ulipoandika maneno yako ambayo nimeyanukuu kwa manufaa ya umma?

Ningependa kukukumbusha aliyekuwa Mjumbe wa Bunge wa Nandi Hills Ndugu Keter ambaye ni Mnandi kama Samoei. Ndugu Keter aliwaonya waKenya wasimpigie kura Samoei kama vile Uhuru Ngina Kamau alipowaonya WaKenya kwa jambo lilo hilo. Nimetoa mfano huu kwa sababu, huwezi kuwa unatumia akili yako uliyopewa na MUUMNBAJI MKUU vizuri ulipoandika ya kwamba, unawachukia waLuo wote.
CTS (Critical Thinking Skills) ni somo ambalo litakufaa na pia kukusaidia sana kwa wakati huu ili likukupunguzie chuki uliyo nayo kwa Ndugu na Dada zetu WaLuo. Mimi si Mluo wala sina ukoo wowote wa damu nao hata kidogo!

Ukiendelea na chuki yako, punde si punde maisha yako yatadidimia na huenda ukapata ugonjwa wa moyo na kutoweka kabisa duniani humu.

Nakuomba ufikiri kwa kina na kujiuliza swali hili muhimu, Je, huu ni ungwana kuyachukia mamilioni ya watu kwa sababu ya chuki uliyo nayo ya ntu mmoja anayeitwa Ndugu Raila Juma Oginga?
