The launching of CCM-K-Sweden’s Branch on Saturday 28^th 2007.

 Our conscience instructs us to build Kenya according to the instruction of Kenyans NEEDS and not to the benefit of exploiting minority.

Fellow brothers and sisters, countrymen and all other entities, Kenya is calling for help! Democracy is a process that is very slow and demanding.In comparison to other countries before us, to achieve a state of freedom and democracy, many lives were lost, enormous resources and uncounted time has been spent to establish democracy that a few currently enjoy.Kenyans, the hope of all reasonable citizens and many well wishers from outside, is that our democracy for our sake and for the sake of our children may not need to take as long time to be established as it has taken the western society.

Our ideology

Our branch is entirely independent and works within its own guidelines.We however co-operate with CCM mother branch in Kenya with both branches guided by our political star, backup and reference; the ideology of social democracy!

Our aim is to reform capitalism in order to remove its perceived injustices in Kenya

Is there short cut to democracy?

Is there  short cut to democracy? We have all opportunities wide open. The period we spend on earth is perhaps short but a democracy that lasts must be built on solid ideas rather than popular individuals or religion. Fellow Kenyans, anything we do counts, any intelligent action we take toward our goals is paramount.

 Why CCM?

It is due to many crucial reasons and obligations that CCM-K Sweden has been stimulated to start a war against injustice. CCM K Sweden is an independent political party and a daughter to the mother CCM Chama cha Mwananchi back in Kenya.The overall goal of CCM-K Sweden is to create awareness, liaise and network with international democratic entities, civil rights movements and substantially manifesting our ideas in the guidance of the social democracy to the Diaspora people of Kenya.

Strategies
In order for any society to develop it is crucial that its citizens are well and rightfully educated.
Education is crucial for the development of a modern, democratic and tolerant society. The goals of education which we advocate, are:
- information, learning and knowledge;
- the passing of a spiritual and cultural heritage from generation to generation;
- the preparation of the individual for life within society on the basis of equal opportunity for all;
- helping each individual to develop his full personal potential.
The values of freedom, social justice, solidarity and tolerance must be central messages in the process of education.
We advocate tolerance and cooperation between different groups in multicultural societies. Cultural diversity enriches rather than endangers our societies. Cultural uniformity is a threat to freedom and democracy.
We will continue to create awareness that Kenya has the potential to give social security and public pension,Individual liberties’ and also freedom from discrimination, freedom from dependence on either the owners of the means of production or the holders of abusive political power. Equality and social justice-not only before the law but also economic and socio-cultural equality as well, and equal opportunities for all including those with physical, mental, or social disabilities.

And most important is solidarity-unity and a sense of compassion for the victims of injustice and inequality.

We are freedom fighters in the modern war fair. Our consciousness push us further to even widen the network of freedom fighters both at home and over sees.

Our domestic problems

 We are all aware of our domestic problems and we shall achieve solution. We are blessed that we are part of the solution and therefore civilized strategies shall be put in place to counter strike the ruthless mismanagements of these selfish regimes. We shall win! The people of Kenya shall come out winners.Democracy though difficult to have it permanent, is always temporary in nature. The people of Kenya seam to be bonded in somewhat traditional and cultural believes to never stand against the corrupt authority.

We are the chosen Every single Kenya and African at large is chosen to reclaim fundamental human right given to us by God; Freedom! Yes.. Freedom is taken by the oppressed and never given by the oppressor!The need for freedom is rooted deep in our born marrow. It is manifested in our spirit and with faith and courage we are determined to fight that the chains of the economical slavery, the victimization due to poor education and the poverty related diseases that ruins our lives shall be terminated by good governance of the people.

While we never actually achieved the freedom that our patriotic countrymen and women died for because of what we have repeatedly mentioned, the power of the neocolonialist mesmerizes us with his hypocritical strategies. Neocolonialist powers employ economic, financial, and trade policies to dominate us in all sectors. We must indicate to them that we know what is going on and we are chosen to stop the looting of our country.

It’s us who work, pay taxes treat the seek, clean, take care of the society’s children, make teach in schools and employed as security personnel for the country loat unmercifully.

Most of the rich minority acquired their wealth through the “normal old way”-exploitation of the poor and powerless.

The NEED for democracy

Moreover, the need for true democracy though we are aware that it almost never exist as a permanent form of government, but to have the right to express yourself without being intimidated, to have the right to influence important decisions that affects our lives is paramount for us.

A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”

Corruption

 We must be courageous to fight corruption at all cost. Our liberty is in abundance for as long as we trace it. All men are born free and by this reason, we strive to achieve complacency- self-satisfaction. Kenya is blessed with a lot of resources that must be protected and utilized in equal terms among all citizens of this country. How then can we do this without being bias? As I said before, we have been chosen! We are hand picked by the creator of heavens and all than is existing on the universe to create better foundations for change.Brethren, we have been hypnotized by Kenyan bad governance that has contained us in apathy. We have lost the ability to react on abuses taking place in our vicinity.

We must have a government of the people

We are totally dependent on the government that has done nothing else since independent that ensuring that corruption, nepotism, tribal boundaries and illiteracy and powerlessness remains in our society.

It is the power that gives the ruling minority mileage from the so called common man.

We are depending on government that produces nothing to the working majority but shamefully enjoys the fruits produced to them by the marginalized majority.

We have been once again enslaved, this time by our own people- the new master! We refuse to go back to primitivism neither shall we accept to retain passiveness installed to us by both successive regimes.

Invited to join CCM

 CCM K Sweden invites all Kenyans to join hands to fight our common enemy. As the Chairman of CCM K Sweden, I take this opportunity to declare war on bad governance in our society. We cannot do it alone without you.Comrades, please understand our plight and the need to patronize each other and particularly on issues pertaining our survival. By joining CCM you have understood that the rich/capitalist can never fight for the poor for it would be suicidal if all the workers they exploit turns around and say Enough! And just walk away to form their own co-operatives to support themselves. Many tribes and groups of people has been exploited by both successive regimes due to their ignorance. Violence rapture just before election, destabilization of stable communities are therefore systematic strategies for selfish political figures apply in order to intimidate, frighten and win over entity who opposes bad governance .Community mobilization 

CCM-K Sweden wishes to mobilize individuals, groups and all other grass roots organization to stand up and face the truth! No one can solve your problems but yourselves.

Workers groups must unite themselves and establish foundations and knowledge for change. There cannot be any change in our society for as long as we a divided. There will ever be less development impact for us long as we fail to patronize each other. Solidarity is the key to any achievement.

I see no reason for workers of Kenya not to unite to out way the ruling master to give way for descent people to lead Kenya. We are not before our time without which these achievement should have been attained long ago.

We are tired of these blind un smart politicians who are so narrow minded that they only think in terms of tribal boundaries.

Patriotic Kenyans

Patriotism demnads that citizens must take charge very soon. It is our obligation to choose the shortest way to economical freedom in order to reduce time span for change in our society in for the sake of limiting human suffering and nature degradation caused by over exploitation by the capitalist.

Wealth declaration

My sincere demand is that all politicians, those in authority and citizens of Kenya should declare their wealth in order to be able to capture these ruthless looters. We intend to prepare Kenya to adapt and develop a just social welfare system that caters for all.We demand as well a descent equal sharing of resources.

Equal distribution of resources

The income from the natural resources that Kenya produces shall benefit Kenyans and not a few gluttonous politicians.Indigenous People Taking into consideration the marginalized societies. The government must recognize the conventional human rights on the indigenous people. Passed on Convention (No. 169) concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries.

Noting that in many parts of the world these peoples are unable to enjoy their fundamental human rights to the same degree as the rest of the population of the States within which they live, and that their laws, values, customs and perspectives have often been eroded, and The Maasai people of Kenya , for instance are mostly marginalized, Equally the tourist who visit Kenya are generally attracted due to the famous wildlife plus the Maasai warrior presence in Kenya.

Kenya’s tourist industry generated US $680 million in 2005 The nomadic societies are normally the major stakeholders but the government of Kenya has systematically chosen to deprive them from enjoying the income despite intensive objectification of the society. Our intention is to encourage Kenya to reform and recognize equally all people of Kenya.

Conclusion 

To conclude, Kenya must have the responsibility for developing, with the participation of the peoples. Before the coming elections, Kenyans must ensure that they make wise decisions and vote for good ideas and not people for good ideas shall always stay but popular people will one day tarnish.

May God bless you brethrens

The Chairman CCM-K Sweden

July 27^th 2007

Sweden

Speech at the Official Launch of CCM

Speech at the Official Launch of CCM At Korogocho

Football Field on 2^nd March, 2007

 First, we thank all who came for this official launch of Chama cha  Mwananchi, a party that Honorable Kivutha Kibwana and Danson  Mungatana and like minded money bags have ridiculed as “Chama cha  Maskini” or “Party of the Poor”. Yes, they have called us “Chama cha  Maskini.”  We accept. Majority of Kenyan people are poor. They have also  called CCM Chama cha Mapinduzi or “Party of the Revolution” and we  accept. We need a democratic revolution to overthrow our poverty and its  mother system. 

 Whose party is CCM? 

 CCM is a party of ordinary Kenyans that suffer discrimination, oppression  and exploitation, increasing the number of our poor by the day and the year.  CCM is a party of the poor that need and don’t have a voice in the higher  ranks of our current parties and government.  CCM is a party of all ordinary Kenyans and not that of a particular tribe or  tribes.   

 Why have we formed CCM when there are other parties already? 

 We formed CCM for the following reasons: Give voice to poor wananchi who need and don’t have one to fight for them. Fight for the poor whose number is increasing daily because parties of the  rich and intellectuals only pay lip service to the eradication of poverty. Fight poverty that is the biggest foe of our people and country. Rescue our economy from foreign ownership and control. Since independence, all our parties, governments and good life have  belonged to the rich. We have formed CCM as an instrument of reversing  the unfair order of things. We believe time has come for ordinary people to  have their own party that will some day soon form a government whose  primary goal will be to solve crippling problems of poor people and not help  the wealthy get richer.  

Why have we come to Korogocho to launch CCM?

 Rather than go to Grand Regency, Safari Park or Bomas of Kenya to launch  Chama cha Mwananchi, we have come to Korogocho because CCM is a  party of the poorest of the poor who live in the slums of Korogocho, Kibera,  Mathare, Bondeni, Kawangware, Kiamaina, Land Panya and other slums  and rural villages of our country. As a party of the people, it would have been laughable to launch CCM at  Muthaiga or Lavington where the stinking rich live. Members of CCM live  live in Korogocho not Muthaiga. CCM could only be launched at  Korogocho.    

And why do we launch CCM on 2^nd March, the J.M Kariuki Day?

  We are launching CCM on J.M. Kariuki Day because JM is our patron saint  and CCM’s only task will be to complete JM’s dream of liberating the poor.  We still remember that JM was killed for saying no to a Kenya of ten  millionaires and ten million beggars. Were he alive today, he would say to a  Kenya of 34 billionaires and 34 million beggars. In fighting to eradicate poverty, CCM will also be fighting to fulfill the  dream of Mau Mau, Elijah Masinde, Mekatilili wa Menza, Koitalel arap  Samoe, Pio Gama Pinto, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, Bishop Muge, Karimi  Nduthu, Titus Adungosi, Bildad Kaggia and all our other heroes and  heroines that died that we be free and live well. 

 Who is welcome to own and build CCM?   

The 27 million Kenyans who are poor and destitute or middle class but live  on the edge and fear of slipping over precipice and plunging into the abyss  of poverty. 17 million Kenyans who depend on chance for their daily bread. All those to whom clean water remains a dream. All those who live with treatable diseases for lack of money to buy medicine. Workers that are paid less than 200 shillings a day. Parents whose children miss secondary school education for lack of school fees. Unemployed who lack both work and land. All who dwell in our miserable slums. Hawkers, shoe shiners, market women and all who have no freedom to do their small businesses. Unsettled victims of ethnic clashes. Those who suffer discrimination because they live in our internal diasporas  and are not identifiable as this or that ethnic community. Mau Mau and other freedom fighters that live in poverty like the family of  Dedan Kimathi. And Kenyans who live in areas of little or no development at all. But as CCM welcomes so many, it bars as members or candidates those who  are thieves, corrupt, dictators, torturers, violators of human rights and  propagators of ethnic hate.  

What kinds of poverty will CCM fight?  

We shall fight poverty that afflicts the body like lack of food, clothing,  medicine, water and decent shelter. We shall fight the poverty of lacking human values that make us human  beings that respect and not seek to oppress others. Above all we shall fight mental blindness and slavery of the mind that makes  the poor tolerate poverty, some fight their own emancipation and deny the  poor the will to remove the noose of poverty from their own necks.  What is the mission of CCM?  We proclaim the mission of CCM is to remove the chains of slavery, break the  yokes of oppression and let the downtrodden poor go free. When CCM comes to power, rather than the police arrest people  who have lost the way or are drunk, they shall show them the way and escort  them home. Once in power, CCM government shall reduce salaries that are too high like  those of MPs, government ministers, presidents, managing directors of state  and private companies and CEOs of NGOs in order to raise money for the  support of those who cannot afford a meal a day.   CCM government shall also restore price control for among others  essential commodities like maize flour, milk, medicine, bread, paraffin, fares  and reduce huge farms of a few individuals and families, foreign and  Kenyan in order to find land for the landless squatters and slum dwellers to  build homes, grow food and bury their dead. Finally CCM shall not hesitate to arrest, prosecute and jail the corrupt, big  and small, that we see crisscrossing our cities and countryside seeking votes  to become our presidents, MPs and councilors, God help us. 

 What shall be CCM’s primary duty?   

CCM’s primary duty shall be to fight against the biggest enemies of our  people and country which are the ever increasing corruption that kills poor  people daily, exploitation of paying people salaries that buy  nothing, prices that are forever going up, poor pay for agricultural products,  negative ethnicity that pits the poor one against another and poverty that  breeds hunger, disease and mental blindness for the poor. 

  Why does CCM want the poor to wage their own struggle?  

If the poor are the backbone of rich man’s political parties, why can’t they  be the backbone of their own party? If it is the sweat of the poor that creates wealth for the rich, why can’t it  create wealth for the poor? If it is the votes of the poor that enthrone the rich into government, why  can’t the poor vote their own government into power?  If the poor have been so good at dying for the interests of their ethnic  leaders, why can’t they use their superior numbers to champion their own  interests? 

 And is it true that saving the poor is a pipe dream and a utopia that will  never be?

  Liberation of the poor is not a pipe dream. In Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, people have  achieved the dream of liberating the poor. We too can if we can begin to  punish corruption. In the small island of Cuba, no more endowed with natural resources than  Kenya, people have achieved the dream of liberating the poor. We too can if  vote out of power our corrupt leaders. In China, the country with the biggest population in the world, people have  achieved the dream of saving the poor. We too can if we can first liberate  our minds from slavery.  In Britain, our yesteryear colonizers, people have achieved the dream of  feeding the families of the unemployed. We too can if we can end foreign  ownership of our economy. In Japan and Malaysia, people have achieved the dream of employing and  instilling patriotism in nearly everyone. We too can if we can stop relying on  our very exploiters for our development.  

What must the poor do to self-liberate?  

To self-liberate the poor must have faith and confidence they can self-liberate. The poor must stop believing in the emasculating propaganda of those that want to enslave them perpetually.  The sheep must not look up to the lion, the hyena and the fox  to save him. The poor must think more about their own problems than those of their leaders. The poor must think hard of solutions to their problems and not take  futile refuge in religion, sport, music and alcohol.  What is our enemy society?    Unfortunately ours has become a jungle society. The strong eat the weak.Grass eaters are meals of meat eaters. A brutish system has created a society of brutes. We look after our own. No one looks after the other. The exploiter eats the exploited. The poor is food for the rich. Ours is no longer a society of humans but wildlife. We survive by the sharpness of our teeth and length of our claws. CCM urges we create a human society. To survive, the weak must unite. We must replace the system of exploitation with a system that liberates. Ours must be a system of democracy and socialism. We must be our brother’s keeper. The rich must not again eat the poor. Every one must be a brother not the food of the other.   What patriotism does CCM believe in?  CCM believes Kenya is one. Kenyans are one people. To preserve Kenya, CCM believes it must fight tribalism with all its might.   To keep Kenya from disintegrating, CCM opposes majimboism with all its  might. Kenya must not be allowed to go up in flames like Rwanda, Somalia, Liberia  or Yugoslavia.

  Why must the rich embrace the liberation of the poor?  

Ultimately security of the rich depends upon salvation of the poor. If the rich puts the poor in the prison of hunger, The poor will put the rich in the prison of terror. We must heed the advice of the American President John F. Kennedy: A government unwilling to help the poor cannot protect the rich. A poor man’s freedom from hunger is a rich man’s security.  Is CCM not a communist party?  By preaching equality, some will say CCM is propagating communism. But the equality of CCM is nothing but pure humanism, pure Godliness. God created humans to share his bounty. However much the economy grows, If it does not eliminate poverty, It will not be people’s economy, It will be an economy of hyenas. The challenge is not in catching “numbi”, but sharing him out.  Kenya needs new people, To give our country a new beginning, That will create a new Kenya, without dirt, greed or mental slavery.  The poor of all tribes must unite. Their needs are the same. Their problems are the same. Indeed their tribe is one, the tribe of the poor. In CCM, the poor join hands, In unity there will be nothing to lose, but the chains that bind you.  Hon. Koigi wa Wamwere MP.
