Shocking details of Kibera’s live sex shows

Porn movies seem so yesterday in some parts of Nairobi. Weeks of investigations have uncovered shocking scenes of people paying to watch live sex in Makina, Gatwekera and Laini Saba areas in Kibera.
Several video dens have turned to ‘broadcasting’ live shows where residents pay as little as Sh150 to watch men and young girls have sex for at least 15 minutes per session.
Gatwekera slum in Kibera is a jumble of rusted metal roofs that stretches to the horizon. At night, paths in the slum belong to police, muggers, and lately, enthusiastic men who throng video dens to watch live sex. 
During the day, men frequent the mabati video dens to watch the latest flick or football game, but at night, the video dens are turned into a stage where people pay to watch live sex, courtesy of shrewd twisted youthful entrepreneurs.
Once inside the packed video den, which can accommodate up to 20 people, bulbs are yanked off their holders, leaving a lone bulb hanging over the stage. The girls, sourced locally, are barely past their teens.
“A show usually has two or three girls. Once the man finishes, people have to pay another Sh150 to watch the girl have sex with a second man,” reveals our source, who was born, raised, and still lives in Ayany area.
The girls, he says, are usually school dropouts.
“Most of the girls who engage in sex-for-view have babies, and they probably prefer being paid for sex in public than stand in the street trying to earn money off prostitution,” says our source.
At times, especially when men are drunk, such viewings get out of hand and some offer up to Sh500 to have sex with the girl.
“There can never be a problem with the police because in most of the viewings, police are usually available. In fact, cops on patrol usually pass by for their share of protection money,” he says.
The entrance fee can be hiked to Sh200 if the girls taking part that night are fresh, youthful and probably underage. In the shows, a female usually has no say as to whether a man should wear a condom or not. It’s the man’s decision.
The girls are often prostitutes who hang out in pubs within the slum. Our source reveals that the girls are paid Sh300 per session, that’s triple what they would earn had they waited for a man to sleep with them for a single shot.
“That’s good money. She can go for two sessions, have sex with two men and earn Sh600 per night. At times, an enthusiastic fan can offer to pay her more if he likes her,” says our source.

HOW THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY REPORTED THE DEADLY KENYAN HELICOPTER CRASH

 
 ANALYSIS: ONUKO DAVID

The following is how the world reacted to the loss that Kenya got following the crush of a helicopter that saw the loss of the internal security minister and assistant minister Prof. George Saitoti and Orwa Ojode respectively:



 A helicopter crashed in the outskirts of Nairobi on Sunday, killing the Kenyan internal security minister -- a man who once served as vice president and was a presidential contender in an upcoming election.
Security minister George Saitoti, 66, was one of the most visible figures in the nation's politics.
He was aboard the flight with five others, who also died in the crash: his deputy minister Orwa Ojode, two pilots and two bodyguards, President Mwai Kibaki said.
"The deaths of the six Kenyans is a devastating loss to our country," the president said in a statement. "Minister Saitoti will forever be remembered as a hardworking and determined public servant who dedicated his time to the service of the Kenyan people."
Saitoti, an American-trained economist and mathematician, also worked for the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
He served in various other positions, including minister of education.
As security minister, he was among key officials who oversaw the incursion of Kenyan forces into neighboring Somalia to battle the terror group, Al-Shabaab. Kenyan trooops have been fighting the Somali-based terror group since late last year.
"It's a sad day for Kenya," said Najib Balala, a former minister, who blamed the crash on old helicopters used by government officials. "We could have avoided this accident with better equipment."
The crash occurred in the Ngong hills on the outskirts of Nairobi.


 

Kenyan minister George Saitoti killed in helicopter crash

The BBC's Kevin Mwachiro says Mr Saitoti will be remembered as Kenya's "nearly never president"

Kenyan Internal Security Minister George Saitoti has been killed in a helicopter crash, officials say.
Mr Saitoti and his deputy, Orwa Ojode, died when the aircraft went down west of Nairobi. President Mwai Kibaki has declared three days of mourning.
There is no word on the cause of the crash, in which six people were killed, including bodyguards and pilots.
Mr Saitoti, a former vice-president, had been planning to run in a forthcoming presidential poll.
The 66-year-old was on his way to a security meeting when his helicopter crashed on Sunday morning.

George Saitoti

George Saitoti (file picture)
  • Born in 1945
  • Entered politics as finance minister in 1983
  • Served as an executive director of the World Bank and IMF from 1990-2001
  • Several stints as Kenya's vice-president 1988 and 2002
  • Briefly stepped down in 1996 over corruption allegations
  • Had announced his intention to run for president next year
An journalist for AFP news agency saw six charred bodies being removed from the wreckage.
Another reporter at the scene says debris of the burnt-out police helicopter were strewn in the brush.
Prime Minister Raila Odinga, speaking at the site, described the deaths as a "great tragedy", and promised a thorough investigation into the cause of the crash.
Leading politician
George Saitoti had been a key figure in Kenyan politics, holding a number of senior ministerial posts over the last 30 years and becoming the country's longest-serving vice-president.
The professor of mathematics joined Daniel arap Moi's government as a finance minister in 1983, going on to become his vice-president in 1988.
He briefly stepped down as education minister in 1996 over accusations he was involved in the Goldenberg financial scandal, but was reinstated when a Kenyan court ruled he should not be charged.
After years as a senior member in the long-dominant Kanu party, Mr Saitoti joined the current president Mwai Kibaki's National Alliance of Kenya in 2002.
As Internal Security Minister under Mr Kibaki, he was a leading government voice against the Somali militant group al-Shabab.
Kenyan troops have been fighting al-Shabab in Somalia since they sent troops into the country last October.

Analysis

The death of Professor George Saitoti, a key ally of President Mwai Kibaki, is a second blow to the coalition government after the death of senior minister John Michuki in February.
His death will be greeted with sadness across the country, as the professor was one of the country's seasoned politicians.
He was perceived as a no-nonsense man who had a rocky relationship with the media, often accusing it of misrepresenting him.
As the minister in charge of the country's security, his profile was high following Kenya's incursion into neighbouring Somalia to fight al-Shabab militants.
Mr Saitoti had announced his intention to run for the presidency during next year's general election. He was a leading contender for the post.
The militants have killed several people in a string of grenade attacks in various parts of Kenya, including Nairobi.
Mr Saitoti announced he would stand for the presidency last November.
No date for the presidential election has so far been set. Mr Kibaki's mandate ends in January 2013.
Prime Minister Odinga - a rival of both Mr Kibaki and Mr Saitoti - is also to stand for president.
The last presidential election, in December 2007, was followed by a wave of ethnic and political violence in which about 1,500 were killed.

 

Helicopter Crash: Kenya Govt Minister Among 6 Dead



Kenya's internal security minister was killed with five other people when the police helicopter they were travelling in crashed in a forest near Kenya's capital, officials said Sunday. An anti-corruption crusader said the incident calls into question the government's procurement of airplanes and helicopters for its security forces.
Internal Security Minister George Saitoti and his deputy, Orwa Ojode, were among the six killed in the crash, Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka said. Two pilots and two bodyguards were also killed in the crash, officials said.
Kenya's government declared three days of mourning for the deaths of the ministers.
The death of Saitoti is a "great tragedy that has befallen our country at this time as we are making elaborate preparations to hold peaceful elections," Prime Minister Raila Odinga said at the scene of the crash, a forest in the city's outskirts.
It was not immediately clear what caused the accident. Kenyan police cordoned off the scene of the crash and said they were investigating. Rescue officials collected the charred and scattered remains of those killed.
"As we speak now, nobody knows the cause of the accident," Odinga said. "Nobody knows, and that's why the experts are going to carry out investigations." He said that Saitoti and Ojode were on their way to a political event in western Kenya.
Saitoti, an American-trained economist and mathematician, was one of the most visible figures in Kenyan politics. For over a decade he was a deputy to former President Daniel arap Moi.

As security minister he was the government's spokesman on security matters including Kenya's decision to send troops to Somalia last year. Analysts say he played a key role in that decision. Saitoti appeared often on national television to reassure the public in the aftermath of deadly attacks blamed on the Somali militant group al-Shabab.
Saitoti announced last year that he would seek the Kenyan presidency in 2013.
Odinga said that four years ago on the very same day, two Kenyan Cabinet ministers who were his close allies died in a plane crash.
Anti-Corruption crusader Mwalimu Mati said the crash should make the country focus on the history of bogus government purchases for the Kenya Police Air wing. Mati runs the corruption watchdog Mars Group, which has done several reports on the government's purchase of police helicopters and their maintenance. It has called the purchases questionable, and pointed out that they have cost the country millions of dollars since 1999.
"Corruption in public procurement can come back to bite you," Mati said.
Mati said Saitoti will leave a controversial legacy. He said Saitoti will be remembered for his role when a financial scandal almost destroyed Kenya's economy. Saitoti faced allegations of being involved in Kenya's largest financial scam in the 1990s when he served as vice president and finance minister under former President Daniel arap Moi.
Saitoti resigned as education minister in February 2006 but was re-appointed months after a constitutional court ruled that an inquiry that investigated the 1990s scandal, called Goldenberg after the company at its center, wrongly concluded that Saitoti needed to be further investigated for his alleged role.
The court also ruled that any reference to Saitoti should be removed from the report.
At the time of the ruling, Saitoti said that he felt vindicated and a burden he had carried for more than a decade had been lifted. The government said it would appeal the ruling, but it did not do so.
The scandal began as a ploy to get export credits for gold and diamond jewelry but evolved into a complex web of financial dealings in which the government lost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Comment: this clearly paints the significance of the deaths of the ministers and perhaps show light to the government to take the deaths seriously and carry out the investigations.

KENYA: OFFICIALS WORRY ABOUT RETURN TO DROUGHT

KENYA: OFFICIALS WORRY ABOUT RETURN TO DROUGHT

By D. Onuko
Officials in the northeastern part of Kenya are worried a lack of rain could lead to the return of drought-like conditions that swept across the Horn of Africa in 2011.
 While heavy rains have been pounding most parts of Kenya since March, in Wajir, in the northeastern part of Kenya, the lands remain dry.

Earlier in the year, the Kenya Meteorological Department predicted a below normal rainfall for the March to May “long rains” season for Wajir. Until now, not even a single drop of the treasured rain has been recorded.

In Habaswein district where World Vision’s Wajir South area development programme (ADP) works, residents are growing desperate.

According to Jacob Alemu, project manager of Wajir South, residents of Habaswein are already asking for water trucking to begin.

“This is very worrying, the situation could only get worse in the coming months as the pastures get depleted and the few water sources remaining run dry,” Jacob warns.

“The greatest and urgent need is water, the main sources of water in the area are natural dams and excavated water pans, but these have all since dried up while the few boreholes available cannot serve the entire population affected,” Jacob explains.
 A total of about 77,080 people is affected, including children.
 In addition, diminishing water sources have also increased trekking distances to access water.
 Daniel Nduti, the District Commissioner for Wajir South, is appealing for emergency water interventions, warning the situation could only worsen.
“The general situation is currently not alarming, however if no measures are taken, then we could be staring at a major disaster in the coming months especially July, August and September,” Daniel explains.
 Daniel repeatedly mentions that thirst is weighing hard on the residents, emphasising the need for providing clean water for drinking.
 But it is not only the water situation that is of great concern.
 Food too, is causing much worry. The commissioner says food is available but very expensive with a kilogram of rice-the community’s staple food- retailing at 2 US dollars, an amount too costly for the poor and struggling residents.
 Esther Nyambura, a World Vision Kenya program officer for the Horn of Africa response to the drought warns that by the end of August there could be no food to eat for the already food stressed residents whose lifeline – livestock – are under threat from diminishing water and pasture.
 The October to December short rains improved foliage and pasture for the livestock dependent pastoralists of Wajir, but the resources are rapidly diminishing, and competition for the few remaining food and water sources is looming large.
 As a result, the project has initiated a special meeting with its partners, the district steering group, which is the technical arm of the government on disasters at the local level and other agencies to see how best to mobilise resources and share out roles to help the stressed community.
 “We also plan to conduct a needs assessment and plan to develop a concept paper for emergency water interventions in the settlements where there is greater need because the funding we have is not sufficient to conduct a major response,” Jacob notes.
