On Wednesday the 10th of May 2006, Tom Cholmondeley, a white racist and
serial killer active in Kenya, shot Mr. Robert Njoya, (a 33-year-old
Kenyan citizen) to death for allegedly killing an antelope at his
Soysambu Ranch in Gilgil division of Nakuru District. This brutal execution
was the second since last April when the blood thirsty “white
supremacist” Cholmondeley gunned down Mr. Samson ole Sisina, a Kenya Wildlife
Ranger who was on duty and who was wearing full uniform of Kenya Wild Life
Services (KWS).
When the case came to court, Sisina’s family never saw justice after
Cholmondeley was acquitted by the court system “due to lack of evidence”.
Kenya’s Attorney General Mr. Amos Wako, who is one of the most useless
and stupid Attorney General Kenya has ever produced, colluded with
Cholmondeley to dismiss the case. This was despite the availability of both
eye witness accounts to the Sisina execution and other hard evidence
that could have facilitated a conviction. Millions of Kenyans were
outraged.
Mr. Cholmondeley, who has occupied one of the biggest chunks of Masai
land, walked to freedom. To put it mildly in this latest murder, it
sounds like the case of a racist grandson of a former colonial land grabber
on an execution mission in Kenya as an elected government plays the
role of a spectator because of external pressure.
KESDEMO takes this opportunity to thank the thousands of Kenyans who
came out to block the Nairobi-Nakuru highway in protest at the latest
Cholomendeley execution of an innocent Kenyan who was trying to survive
under great pressure of hunger and starvation that is affecting more than
3 million Kenyans across the country.
It is well known that the family which owns Delemare Ranch has been
conducting illegal business of slaughtering thousands of wild animals like
buffalos and reaping millions of Kenyan shillings in game meat profits
while at the same time evading taxation. This is because Kenyan tax
authorities, national police force, military establishment and other key
intelligence services have no power to enter the property of a white,
Asian or Arab land grabber in Kenya, majority of whom are also armed and
dangerous to the local population.
The late Mr. Sisina was executed last April as he was in the process of
trying to investigate the illegal trade in game meat that has been
going on at the Delemare farm for decades without state intervention. Since
the days of colonialism, Kenyans in general have been trained to fear
white people through the colonial school system that makes Kenyans and
their leaders to prostrate in front of white men, women and their
children.
The cold blooded murder of Mr. Njoya, an innocent Kenyan citizen, by
Cholmondeley, only rivals documented murders by the late colonial and
white racist supremacist called Robert Patrick Shaw who served as a Police
reservist under cover as the boss of Starehe Boys Center where he used
to recruit CIDs and KANU moles during both Kenyatta and Moi
dictatorships. During his wild campaigns of terror, Shaw gunned down hundreds of
innocent Kenyans in the name of fighting crime until he was eventually
sprayed with bullets in a conspiracy that was allegedly masterminded by
Daniel arap Moi and the current President Kibaki. As a cover up, his
body was banned from public viewing as the government announced that he
had died of a “heart attack”.
After independence, the Kenyan government never seized land that was
stolen by the British colonialists as per the Political program of the
Land and Freedom Army (Mau Mau). Instead, Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first
President who betrayed the Mau Mau, duped the landless and freedom
fighters in a conspiracy where they were told to buy back their land which
was stolen by settlers.
This conspiracy is what caused the mysterious disappearance of freedom
fighter Kungu Karumba who spent nine years in Kapenguria prison
together with Kenyatta and who has never been traced to date. In this dirty
conspiracy, Kenyatta signed a 99 year land lease contract with the
British land grabbers whose grandsons are now executing Kenyans in these same
lands with impunity and causing untold grief to the affected families.
Freedom fighter Bildad Kagia died a pauper because of his opposition to
Jomo Kenyatta’s politics of betrayal especially on the thorny question
of land.
When a Kenyan kills another Kenyan, the penalty is normally capital
punishment (death). Former Kenya Air Force liberators like Spt Hezekiah
Ochuka, Sgt Oteyo Okumu, Sgt Obuon and others, were executed in cold
blood, not because they killed anybody in particular but because they
tried to overthrow an evil and brutal regime that was anti-Kenyan people.
These young liberators and their People’s Redemption Council (PRC)
within the military were forced to take action when they discovered that
there is “Not Yet Uhuru” (Not yet freedom) in Kenya. Today we still
regret why the 1982 coup failed because Moi could not have destroyed Kenya
for 24 years while Kibaki may not be President today to continue
protecting murderers like Cholomendeley while at the same time looting and
plundering the economy when more than three million Kenyans are starving.
This is the time Kenya is in dire need of liberators like PRC members
who were courageous enough to take up arms to overthrow dictator Daniel
T. arap Moi who denied more than 30 million Kenyans basic rights and
freedoms and who converted Kenya into a one Party dictatorship.
Why should cold blooded murderers like Cholomendeley continue to
receive state protection? KESDEMO asks: Why has the government continued to
allow the likes of Cholmondeleys to continue committing crimes on stolen
land without being brought to face the law? From the point of view of
KESDEMO, the Cholmondeles should not just be hanged for murder but the
land they continue to occupy more than four decades after independence
should have been confiscated by the State at “independence” without
compensation. The continued control and manipulation of the Kenyan
government mainly by British and American imperialism under the Neo-colonial
arrangement is what continues to shield murderers like Cholmondeley from
justice.
KESDEMO will not be surprised if Cholmondeley fails to face the noose.
This is because the government will receive orders and threats from
British and American imperialism on how to handle the case. Our
perspective is that he will either bribe his way through a fine or walk away with
a light sentence.
In the eyes of the Kenyan law, when Chelmondeley killed Sisoni in April
2005, it was like he killed a goat. This time it will look like he has
killed a black monkey and when a white man kills a monkey in Kenya,
there is no case to answer. This is because Cholmondeley is a white man
protected by the Kenyan colonial law which is still effective 43 years
after “independence”. When a young makanga (taout) kissed a rich man’s
daughter in Kenya, he was jailed for 10 years. But when Chelmondeley
executed a poor Kenyan, he went Scot free. This is the Kenyan law that
divides the rich and the poor and this is how the situation will remain
under capitalism unless the system is overthrown by an organized force.
KESDEMO believes that an end to the menace of the Cholmondele’s type
rests on confiscating and nationalizing land that was grabbed by
colonialists and their lackeys like Criticos (who owns half of Taita Taveta
district while the people of Taita live as squatters), Jomo Kenyatta’s
family (and their Gicheha farms where they own vast natural minerals), the
Mwai Kibaki family etc.
The nationalization of land has repeatedly been ignored by three
Presidents since fake Independence namely; Jomo Kenyatta (15 years), Daniel
arap Moi (24 years) and now Septuagenarian Mwai Kibaki (3 years). This
neglect has caused a lot of pain to millions of landless Kenyans in
every part of Kenya and to every landless Kenyan in all provinces across
the country. These regimes have proved beyond reasonable doubt that they
are anti-landless Kenyans and the only way out is for the oppressed
millions in Kenya to rise against the top class of capitalist thieves
being protected by Mwai Kibaki and his government that serves both the rich
and Imperialist agents in Kenya.
KESDEMO appeals to the landless and oppressed Kenyans in Naivasha to
rise against the Dalamare’s family. Their defiant son has now killed
twice and since he is protected by the law and by Kibaki’s government, he
is going to continue killing the people of Naivasha unless they stop the
madness.
The internal security Chief and former Home guard, John Michuki
Njoroge, urged certain Kenyans to sleep and ng’orota (snore) because they are
protected. The reality is that Michuki’s law is designed to protect
the “white settlers” and the stinking rich owners of capital in Kenya.
This is the class which can afford to sleep and ng’orota because evidence
shows that ordinary Naivasha residents are being slaughtered by armed
and racist wazungus.
In this latest murder, the people of Naivasha should continue to demand
that justice be done and if the government fails to do so, the people
of Naivasha and other Kenyans should show solidarity and be ready to
take the law on their own hands to push for a redress.
KESDEMO reminds Kenyans about the two British soldiers who were caught
red handed stealing a car and who were locked in Karen Police Station.
After covert intervention by British Imperialism, they were released in
yet another case where justice was miscarried. A British national who
traumatized a Kenyan woman in her private parts with a bottle in Mombasa
before the woman died was set free because of pressure from British
imperialism. Chelmondeley will either be set free or walk away with a very
light sentence. For this reason, the people of Naivasha should be ready
to continue with protests because the government must be accountable.
KESDEMO will continue to follow this case keenly and to put it in its
correct perspective.
