An open letter to ICC mole MAKAU MUTUA - MUST READ from Terryanne CHEBET
Editor's Choice 05:47
Dear Prof. Makau Mutua,“I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.” ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
Prof, you and J.D Salinger clearly share no beliefs. And maybe you shouldn’t. I feel that you would be the man with an evil laugh pushing the thousands of little children off the cliff.
Let me explain.
Your tweet on the 23rd of Dec 2012, Buffalo, New York
"@makaumutua 2h I predict a military coup in Kenya after the March 2013 elections if those indicted for crimes against humanity are elected."
5 years ago, today, I was in my mother’s house in Kitale, watching Television as the country began to break into tension. Our thoughts began to turn into dreadful fears of what could or would happen. The KICC, the heartbeat of election reporting was a buzz; everyone was crying foul over vote rigging, delays in reporting, all sorts of accusations and counter accusations were on live TV, for all Kenyans to see.
At home, we all stayed in my mother’s living room flicking channels, watching quietly, afraid to think of the impossible.
2 days later, the breaking news began flying. Fires everywhere, people were being hacked to death, and the Kikuyu, Luo and Kalenjin false superiorities began to tear the country down. It was a terrible time, but of course, you were not here; it perhaps was a chilly winter, perhaps in London, were you in New York? Catching the latest from stations like CNN or the BBC?
You see, my daughter is called Wambui, named after her paternal grandmother, and I, am called Chebet, translated as daughter of the Sun, in Kalenjin, my mother’s language. The two tribes were not allowed in the same place in that period of December 2007. But I managed; we got a flight from Eldoret and flew back to Nairobi where it was safe for her. Many people didn't make it.
Children her age were slashed to death for mistakes they never made.
We, Kenyans, do not want to go through that again.
We hurt, Kenya hurt, and all we have left, is a benign feeling of hope.
When you are at the brink of despair, you don’t need someone to push you off the cliff, you need someone to hold your hand and tell you to hang in there. Make things better. Start loving our neighbours, preach peace, and build bridges.
On Christmas day, Just a few days after your tweet about a possible Military Coup in 2013, you said,"
Prof Makau Mutua @makaumutua
walk up to a complete stranger today and tell him, or her, that you love them.
Then hug them."
Prof, If that is not the epitome of doublespeak, then I, a lifetime student of Journalism have no idea what double speak means.
Your 25th December tweet about hugging a stranger shows a side of you that believes in the ability of human kind to be good, in a strange Marxist kind of way. Remember his argument that man was inherently good, especially if given the right social environment all that good would shine through and illuminate the world with righteousness?
Now with your doublespeak, part of me wondered why such an influential, Hague appointee, Harvard trained, Buffalo Dean would predict such a massive collapse of the Kenyan government.
It isn’t so much the prediction, but the lack of politesse that is expected from people like you at this time of year, when many Kenyans are so willing to own their country once again.
Perhaps you have been away too long?
Perhaps you have forgotten what it means to be hopeful?
Many of us are clutching onto that hope, and spreading it as far as we can, you call it burying our heads in the sand, but you are in faraway New York.
Professor, as you drive your Hague agenda, remember and 38 million Kenyans call this country home.
Please keep your predictions to yourself.
I believe that the real winners never give up on hope.
P.S
I do not write this as a journalist, I write it as a mother and a Kenyan who is hopeful that 2013's election will be a feather in the Kenyan cap, after all we have had successful elections since 1963, one bad one, will not rain on our parade.

Terry,
You got it right,
I hope the the Proff, Hague appointee, reads your letter, and replies.
We need oneness in our country, not prophets of doom, predicting our country going the Congo way

The Proff has his own freedom to speak. Scientifically there is the probability or in lay mans language chances of an occurance. So its us to take his opinion positivelly and do all that is possible to avoid it happening in Kenya. Remember, even the PEV was predicted by Michael Gachangi but nothing was done that's why it happened the way it did he predicted the doom that was.
We need peace in Kenya.The war,hatred and tribal politics that drove Kenya to the brink of civil war must stop.We know no other home but Kenya.God bless Kenya
Wow acid grandy had to post 4 times to get heard tsk tsk tsk! Terryanne I agree with you. Well put
Wow acid grandy had to post 4 times to get heard tsk tsk tsk! Terryanne I agree with you. Well put
The man is gay he has no principales...neither credibility he would sell his own soul to the devil for a chance to kiss him.....
you cannot simply take him seriously....but cooler minds will prevail
now you see why moi exiled this fool.....
@acid grandy......ur mind must be in your ass what success are you talking about selling your people out....u must be one of his faggot admirers you wish he reads your post contacts u and flies your black faggot ass to states.....pathetic
Terryanne, you put it right.
When Makau, talking from the comfort and somnolence of the diaspora,
Predicts turmoil to our once ill-befallen country,
We the people whose languishing poverty will only be adequate to have ourselves facing the plight of the proverbial 'stayees' can't stomach Makau's doom !
@..mathers davis: u little piss of shit. u dont know me but judging by your line of thinking... you dont seem to know anything do you? i keep telling you simpletons to challenge my ideas.. intelectually. davis arguing with u is like arguing with sewage: ill expect no clean response and ill be stupid to argue with sewage!!
@nguibini.. it must be a glitch in the system as yours coming up twice. i dont need to shout to be heard nor resort to childish rhetoric like# Mathers Davis.
Makau is a puppet of ICC but will fail flat! Ask those who were there akina Omar Hassan who coached the witnesses! They are puzzled because they shall end up in the Hague to testify why they had to cheat, Makau keep on predicting doom but we shall remain peaceful, the good thing is that we shall never vote CORD come what may! Wre shall vote JUBILEE because it has visionary leaders like Ruto who performed perfectly well in only and a half years of being a minister unlike kina KKV and kina NHIF who stole taxpayers money! Shame on you!
Well said Terry
Yes we are heading for an election but we must look back to where we are from. Prof has his own rights to tell Kenyans the truth so as Chebet do but the reality is that if we not careful the worst may still come so lets take all challenges positive n if we do not then lets not blame anybody. Chebet this issue of reading politics in everything that one says is what has taken Kenya back whether prof is in London on NY that doestnt matter even u u had the chance and capacity to fly which 90% of Kenyans cannot so the difference between u n prof is zero so dont just criticize cos u av the capacity to so but we should take every advice seriously n correct on the loopholes that may lead us to PEV again
How can i argue with someone who thinks with the same place he shits with...
listen to me faggot the only thing u will ever do or amount to in life is a semen swallowing violated psycologicaly misplaced cant~hold my shit butt sucker...
interlectual my foot what interlect do u get getting violated like drop~store~latrine....think very hard what your worth as a human is compared to homosexuals dogs are better they never change sides and never betray man and masculinity like you do....
so every time u suck a cock or bend over to be violated picture my dog eating a nice meal with forks and knifes while you lick the dropings on the floor....
...as u can see u and mutua share same values and line of thinking cant blame you with you homos your sexuality is what thinks for you not brains.....
MAN WHO STANDS FOR NOTHING FALLS FOR ANYTHING...
A MAN IS GUIDED BY HIS MORALS AND PRINCIPALS NOT BY SWEEPING WINDS OF PASSING LIFESTYLES AND PLEASURES OF WHAT HIS BODY DESIRES TO BUT THOSE WHO FALL ON THE SIDEWAYS ARE NOTHING BUT SEEDS THAT FALL ON THE PATH AND ARE CRASHED BY THE FEET OF MEN.
wow... now you made me a homosexual!! realy mature man you are... with morals!! as i said.. arguing with you is arguing with raw sewage. but then again who argues with raw sewage!?
Gentlemen and noble women I don't understand what the fight is all about. Terryanne and the prof have expressed themselves.They didn't call us into hurling insults to one another which is the highest degree of foolishness you are showing.
One thing I wonder if you claim to that English you are claiming to be why cant you analyse Prof prediction and see what he really said so that you could help Terry where she missed it out.Actually the fight on the blog is clear indication of the reality of Profs prediction. What I understand Prof is saying is quite simple which is if and mark the word 'if'we wont be careful in electing our leaders come 2013 then a military coup will be eminent. You are fighting to defend those who even don't care about your fights making them win.Some of us are so much obsessed by some individuals just because they are our tribesmen or they materially wealthy (despite the means the wealth is gotten)which you are just craving for in life no matter what.
Terryanne as a mother is afraid of the repeat of the 2007 fiasco. Prof as a man of repute is afraid of manipulation of the ordinary mwananchi by the influence of the ill gotten wealth and might.
Before you post your garbage of insults here show us your drive what makes u pant what makes you cry what gives you peace as a patriotic kenyan. where is your heart for Kenya and the Kenyans.
Kenya is one Kenya is ours we love Kenya
Yea Hilary Clinton, Makau, and Annan serving the interest of the master (US gov) which itself not signatory to the ICC statute. How about a pinch of integrity to other aspirants. In August 1982 there was attempted coup and all manner of atrocities, crimes against humanity occured and nobody finds that worth mention,,, even after one RAO documented confession of involvement. Right now we need people to preach peace & reconciliation countrywide and not doom. Wananchi now have a constitutional weapon to decide who will be their leaders without coersion.
High Five! mkenya Halisi.
I have read makaus comments and they never make sense most of the time. he should keep his comments to himself
what worries me is how makau attacks UK.as a kenyan pev burden belongs to very many.from small village units big boosters.am also tired of professor's side attack.he should now help solve problem,avoid being part of it.kenya r wiser they can decide.
Makau's persistent articles on ICC are not only overkill but tend to lean on a pathological world of a hangman. I bet he was shattered to hear IDPs tell the Hague lady to her face that the evidence she has before her was all fake cooked by the likes of Makau in the KCHR. Let Kenyans vote they way they want without self-claimed partisan 'opinion' leaders confusing them. Why be a prophet of doom ? Where was he in 2007 when one party declared they would form the next government 'whether they won or not' and there would be 'no peace without their presidential candidate being declared the winner, whether he won or not?'.Makau, you are doing exactly the same thing: telling us to kill each other all over again if your favourite candidate does not become president. Kenyans should take opinions of people like Makau and his ilk, the so called political 'expatriate experts' with a pinch of salt because they are pursuing their own or other people’s agenda- not that of the country that wants to move on peacefully without prophecies of doom. Chebet, please write another article-this time as an investigative journalist, if you may, and possibly expose Makau's hidden agenda. You have the tools- unlike the ordinary Kenyans-the hoi polios at the mercy of partisan intelligencia.
"We are heading into an ELECTION, Please avoid any comment that is TRIBAL and has HATE. Dwell on the SUBJECT matter. Annonymous commenting will be off till after 4th March 2013 General Election."
Me thinks Makau's articles border on hate speech. Where is Kivunja?
Terry Anne is just looking out for her preferred candidates who are unfortunately on the ICC list.We Kenyans have this weakness of always defending "our own" without considering the other affected parties.And as usual it has become a tribal campaign, she is called Chebet and her daughter is Wambui. If only she could be realistic and reflect how many of Wambui's paternal relatives were kicked out of their homes because of a bungled elections, she would be campaigning to right the wrongs and not attack Mutua
makau ni shoga
huyu mutua ni shoga
Makau Mutua is a very confused she/man. He seems to suffer from a very complicated complex. Either you ignore him or pray for him.
If the ICC was right that they recieved evidence from kenyans that Uhuru & Ruto murdered them, raped them and their daudghters torched their houses etc, then it would be mad of the same kenyans to elect the same to as president and vice president. IF the same kenyans vote for the 2 ICCs evidence will be questionable!!!!
We all seem to forget that Prof. Makau Mutua being in NY is no reason to victimise him. How many Kenyans are in the diaspora? Don't they have a right to comment on matters Kenya? When he says what he says, he does so to provoke us to think. Kwani those countries that have had these coups are of a kind unlike Kenya? Not really, they are countries where politics is dirty and the citizens squander opportunities to change that game in the name of community etc...
Let the Prof. say what he has to say - he is a Kenyan just like you and me. If you differ, write us an article on why the coup will not/should not happen.
Vote wisely on 4th of March 2013.
u are surely a hypoctite ursellf & ill prove this now:1) u attack mutua for his success' " u watched from london sijui new york" yet u urself are a woman of good means" I flew my daughter to nairobi. 2)u claim to love your daughter but seek to ignore the plight of the mothers whose daughters were raped and murderd.u don't care that the icc is the only shred of justice they can get... 3) your very open letter like all open letters is a sham as u don't have the guts to say it to makaus face coz u know your psychophancy overides your inteligence and cant debate intelectually. may justice take its course and may no man or woman be above the law. God bless kenya! most kenyans led by Terryanne Chebet have their Brains in their asses...all infected with tribalism.....all you care is about your doughter and your tribal kingpins. why a u not crying for the pple who died in Kiambaa church, luos who were shot by police in kisumu and kibera, luos who were killed in naivasha and nakuru, kisiis who were killed in kericho and cheplat not to mention other areas.......Now that your family and your in laws are in a coalition you have downloaded your intelligent brain and uploaded diarrhea into your head.. my two cents to all kenyans who have this Teryanne disorder..PLEASE VOTE FOR YOUR TRIBESMEN AND BE HAPPY EVER AFTER!
