THE LIKONI RESCUE CIRCUS

                    THE LIKONI RESCUE CIRCUS

  Can someone help me settle to an answer to my questions which have been boggling me since Sunday tragedy where Amanda and her mom were swallowed and hidden in the depths of the calm but hungry Indian ocean waters at the Likoni crossing Channel.
  History has it that the three Ferries, Mv Harambee, Nyayo and Kilindini ARE SAID to have been withdrawn from the International Maritime Standard's Body,Lloyd's Register in 2007. And to add salt to the injury, the other two, Mvs Pwani and Mvita to do not appear on any classification bodys register; and are over 45 and 50 years old. Mv Harambee which was commissioned in 2015, resumed business a year latter after repair works at a cost of Kshs. 143 million. According to preliminary report done by Acting Head of Maritime Services Capt. Mbarak Zaunga, one of the findings revealed that the ramp was not working and it seems still not working..... which contributed to the sliding back and drowning of  Mariam Khaghenda and her daughter Amanda Mutheu.
  And now that the rescue mission is on, ten days [Tuesday] down the line, no signs of a mother,a daughter or the car. Tussle and argument between the govt institutions and private divers is conspicuous. Government talking big, but as usual, to the public its empty rhetoric with no touchable results to show. According to Colonel Lawrence Gituma of Kenya Navy who is heading the 13 multi agency team, kicked out the private divers who were hired by the family, at acost of Kshs. 350k, with a down payment of 100k. Gatuma claimed that Musa Owaga with his 15 member team, defied all laid down operation rules. He claimed Musa and crew went against ''The Set Rules and were posing danger to others involved in the operation.'' Musa in his response said they are fed up with the harassment by the security personnel and not sure when they gonna resume.
   But wait a minute. Is he the same Musa Owaga, Head of the Kenya Rescue DIVERS, who was called to a search and recovery mission when a Chopper crashed in to Lake Nakuru in 2018? Hon. Mishi Mboko, Likono MP, testified of his experience with Musa team in one of the rescue missions hes involved in. The great public and residents of Likoni and its environs got a great recollection of what TEAM MUSA HAS DONE TO SAVE LIVES ALONG THAT CHANNEL. Thew BQ is, why is the so called multi agency team does not want to have Musa on board with his great&versed  experience and knowledge of the channel?
Musa who is Internationally trained diver, decided to hang his gloves on Friday after he claimed  harassment from the security team.
Ten days..... Nothing to bring ashore to show. Professional divers brought from all walks of life; Sweden... S.Africa..... unfortunately nothing. Kenyans are still treated to the same old tired storyn lines of  '' Of No Stones Will Be Left Unturned.'' Pure ineptness, insensitivity and incompetence.
These are those moments of painful humiliation, for a nation held in high regards internationally.
   And this is when BABA came calling. The only voice of reason, face of humanity with legendary command. Strikes with speed of lighting, military precision with political closure. You can try to isolate him but cant put him down. When he gave that order, the person could have been a subject of debate but NOT what he said. The deafening noise of dredging machines went mute, to confirm and remind the ''Tangatanga'' team that the AU Special Evoy For INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT was in town. One of the best Kenyas best analytical minds, Prof. Herman Manyora said, '' Raila is not an ordinary person like me and you, its him and the President who can call for an holiday in this country''
The sycophantic behavior and kindergarten thinking of Jubilee MPs, especially first timers, is suicidal and indication of rogue intolerant and dishonorable members, ranting for hand outs. Raila Odinga is an engineer by profession, a politician by calling and a BABA naturally. Let me remind the likes of Nyoro, what BABA can see seated at his Apoda farm, will take them centuries on top of Mt. Kenya seeing nothing. The so called ''Leaders of tomorrow'' have false narratives camouflaged in unacceptable, hollow and dangerous precedences. Very unfair that these guys invent facts and twist tales to suit their unrealistic political agenda.
Testube and vanilla politicians who value lies in the fact that their divisive style never going to be distasteful to the national palate. This will amount to flagrant abuse to the very tenets of our moral fabric that underpins and defines the concepts of our core values as Kenyans; And more importantly.... as human beings.They are not honorable enough to be Honorable.As much as we are playing politics and gymnastics at the shore, remember, Amanda and her mom are still 70 meters down
