RECRUITMENT, TRAINING, INDOCTRINATION AND OPERATIONS OF KALENJIN ETHNIC CLEANSING TERROR GANGS

1. MUMIAT OATHING ON AUGUST SEVEN IN KERICHO AT KENUGUT PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS COMPLEX IN KERICHO:
Eye witnesses said that 25 oxen and 25 dogs were slaughtered for the oath. The oath was for binding Kalenjins together for the purpose of ethnic cleansing of all Kikuyus and Kisiis out of the rift valley.
William Samoei Arap Ruto brought the Oxen but the dogs were collected locally.
Kenugut is Ruto’s ancestral home. Ruto is a Kipsigis but his father had sold off their family land and migrated to Eldoret, a Nandi-occupied area in Uasin Gishu.
Hundreds of Kalenjin young men toook the oath. The aims of the oathing were:
To kill and drive out all Kikuyus from the Rift Valley and drive them to Naivasha where forces under William Ole Ntimama, an ardent Kikuyu hater who supported the 1992 genocide targeting the Kikuyu, would take over and kill and drive the Kikuyus to Kijabe, the pre- colonial Western boundary of Kikuyu Land.
To reduce the Kikuyu number to a manageable level by killing one million of them by mass killing of those seeking refuge in churches, refugee camps and other areas.
To support ODM who had promised to help them accomplish this task within 90 days of taking over the government of Kenya.
After the oaths, training and indoctrination camps were set up and operated in the following places.
Eldoret in Mr. Mark Too’s farm. Mark Too is the former chairman of Lonrho.
Girimoli at the sub-chief’s farm in Kericho. Here, both Luo and Kalenjins were trained
Bomet in the farm owned by Mr. Kipkalya Kones. Note that Kones was involved in the horrific 1992 genocide against the Kikuyus but he was never prosecuted.
Kuresoi on the farm of Hon. Cheboi who is reported by eye witnesses to have initiated the ethnic cleansing of Kikuyus out of Kuresoi in September 2007 before the elections.
Kipkelion in Kunyak in Kiptenden sub-location in the farm of Mr. Kip Chumba who harbors very strong hatred of the Kikuyu.
El Dama Ravine on the farm of Mr. Musa Sirma.
2. FOLLOW UP MASS OATHINGS AT CIRCUMCISION RITES FROM 31ST OCTOBER 2007 TO 5TH NOVEMBER 2007
The aim of these mass oathing ceremonies was to prepare all Kalenjin young men for ethnic cleansing war before the general election. All the young men who had missed the August oath were given similar oaths. Circumcision of all mature Kalenjin young men was conducted so as to ensure that all of them would be given oaths, indoctrinated in Kikuyu hatred and ethnic cleansing and ready for war before the general election.
As usual the circumcision was done in forests and the young men trained in these forest hidings for one full month. Among the things taught in the camps were:
War techniques and war cries which signal gathering for attack (a sort of high pitched ululation), and actual attack burning and killing (an intermittent monkey whoop).
Culture including the role of their legendary colonial hero, Koitalel Arap Samoei and his re-incarnation, Samoei Arap Ruto.
Kikuyu hatred where the Kikuyu were described as hyenas (Madoa-Doa, i.e. spotted hyenas) and thieves who must be killed and expelled out of the Rift Valley.
Marking of Kalenjin homes with small, 6 to 8 inch long, gourds and Kikuyu homes with a black “X”. These markings indicated which homes were to be spared and which homes were to be eliminated.
3. PROMISES MADE TO KALENJIN YOUNG MEN AT INDOCTRINATION AND TRAINING PLACES
The young men were promised the following:
The ODM government was going to employ all of them in the army.
During the ethic cleansing war, they would be paid in cash every morning through their village elders who would also bless them for the day’s acts of terror, violence and carnage.
Their own parents would be given some of land belonging to the dead or displaced Kikuyus and 100,000 shillings per homestead towards the construction cost of a new house since the young men were to burn all Kikuyu houses.
Each warrior would be given a Kikuyu woman for wife from Kikuyu women of reproductive age who were to be spared in the planned massive genocide.
All properties and businesses belonging to the Kikuyu in the Rift Valley would be given to the Kalenjin under the ODM Majimbo (regionalism) government.
For the rest of the Kikuyu farmland in the Rift Valley, White men of British and Southern African origin including ex-Zimbabwe whites would form joint venture companies with Kalenjins to farm such land. The new companies would employ only Kalenjins. All profits from such farms would be shared between the white men and the Kalenjins. This would make the Kalenjins very wealthy. (NB: It has been reported that the white men and Kalenjin leaders had been seen touring such land long before the elections).
3. CONSEQUENCES OF THE PREPARATION OF KALENJIN TERROR GANGS
Eye witnesses reported that on 30th December at 10 am, at the Caltex Petrol station in Kericho town:
(a) Mr. Franklin Bett gave unspecified sums of money to Kalenjin and Luo young men.
(b) Immediately after the payment the young men started stoning vehicles and burning kiosks which they thought were Kikuyu owned but were actually owned by Kipsigis and Kisii people.
(c) At Kunyak in Kericho the following took place: The Kalenjins lit a huge fire and bundles of a ceremonial milky plant were brought. Meat was roasted and taken by the Kalenjin young men and elders. The elders administered oaths and tied pieces of the milky plant around the necks of the Kalenjin young men.
(d) When the ceremony was over the Kalenjin young men who had participated went around threatening Kikuyus in Swahili telling the Kikuyus, “Whether Kibaki wins or looses, you will find out the difference between blankets (for sleeping on) and gunny bags ( for picking the dead). “Kibaki ashinde asishinde mtatofautisha blanketi na gunia.”
(e) At Koru in Kipkelion, within 15 minutes of the announcement of Kibaki’s win, Kalenjins started terrorizing Kikuyus and burning Kikuyu farms and property.
(f) Within two and a half hours, Kalenjin terror was unleashed on Kikuyu properties in all towns and farming areas in the Rift Valley. Kalenjin young men killed Kikuyus and looted and burned their property while chanting the war songs they had learned at the oath-taking rites.
4. COLLUSION BY THE POLICE AND PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION
At Girimoli in Kipkelion, the first wave of Kalenjin and Luo terror gangs were repulsed by the Kikuyu. The police then intervened and chased away the Kikuyu and stopped them from defending their women, children and property. The Kalenjin and Luo terror gangs went on with their grisly business uninterrupted by the police. In some cases, Kikuyu men were hacked to death and their women raped in full view of the police. Some of the police told the Kikuyus in Swahili, “wacheni Kazi iendelee”. This was a mockery of Kibaki’s re-election campaign call of “Kazi iendelee!” meaning “Let (my) the work (of rebuilding the economy and progress) continue by re-electing me”.
5. FUNDING
In the 1992 and 1997 genocide, the organizers had promised the Kalenjin terror gangs KSh. 50,000 (fifty thousand shillings) per gang member at the completion of the task. However, it is said that these gangsters were only paid Sh. 6,000 (six thousand shillings). This time the gangsters have insisted on daily payments in advance on each morning of the day of assignment. As a result, those who have been captured in action so far have been found to be in possession of between ten thousand and one hundred and fifty thousand shillings in new notes.
In addition to the above, extra money was being paid for the following:
Burning a timber house, 3,000 shillings
Burning a stone house, 7,500 shillings
Killing a Kikuyu man, a Kikuyu boy or a Kikuyu woman in her reproductive years, sums unknown but different sums were paid for each category with the maximum being paid for the men and the minimum for the women.
No money was given for killing elderly women and female children or for burning grass huts. Notwithstanding this, the gangs still killed such women and girl children and burned such huts anyway.
It should be noted that in the 1992 genocide, special sums were paid for killing pregnant Kikuyu women and for killing their unborn babies. A higher sum was paid for killing a male baby than for killing a female baby.
Most of the Kalenjin terror gangsters captured in the current genocide and ethnic cleansing state that they will not betray each other or their plans. A few who have talked have said that they are funded by Franklin Bett, Ruto and Njonjo. Those who are badly wounded in action are saying to interrogators in Swahili, “Ulizemi Ruto na Franklin Bett kwa nini ninakufa.” That is “Ask Ruto and Franklin Bett why I am dying.”

7. ULTIMATE AIMS OF THE GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING
To drive all Kikuyus out of the rift valley.
To kill at least one million Kikuyus by flushing them out of homes into camps where they are concentrated and bombed or otherwise exterminating them so as to reduce their numerical dominance in Kenya. This they say is supported by ODM which had promised to help Kalenjins get their land back from the Kikuyus and accomplish the genocide within 90 days of taking power.
To take all Kikuyu farms and property.
To take all young Kikuyu women and female children but to kill as many males as possible. (This was done over 100 years ago to the Uasin Gishu (Gwas Nkishu) Maasai and the Laikipiak Maasai as a result of which these two Maasai clans were all but exterminated.)
To invite white farmers from Southern Africa to come and form joint farming ventures with KAMATUSA (Kalenjins, Maasai, Turkana and Samburu) in the best parts of the Rift Valley farm land which at present legally belongs to Kikuyus.
Ensure dominance of the KAMATUSA in the Kenyan armed forces by recruiting all their unemployed young men into the army.
8. BACKGROUND TO WILLIAM SAMOEI ARAPRUTO’S POLITICAL AND SPIRITUAL CLAIMS.
Uasin Gishu (the Eldoret area of Kenya) was formerly occupied by the Maasai of the GWAS NKISHU (i.e. “Spotted Cows” clan). The Gwas Nkishu were massacred in a genocidal intra-Maasai clan civil war and replaced by the South African whites -Boers, and a few British farmers. The Kalenjin moved in as “Squatters” in the colonial days. Members of the family of the former President De Clerks of South Africa still live in Uasin Gishu. However Ruto, a Kipsigis, migrated from Kericho to Uasin Gishu when his father sold the family ancestral land in Kericho, his Kipsigis motherland. However, Ruto has since bought back 3 acres of his former family farm in Kericho but he has not yet put up a home there.
Kalenjins are therefore settlers in Uasin Gishu. The indigenous owners are the Gwas Nkishu Maasai, a few of whom are still in existence among the other Maasai clans. The Kalenjin are as “foreign” in Uasin Gishu as the white settlers like the De Clerks or the Kikuyu.
Ruto has convinced the Kalenjins that he is the re-incarnation of the Nandi anti British liberation war hero Koitalel Arap Samoei. Ruto’s middle name is Samoei. He and his followers ardently believe that he is the re-incarnation. They also claim that the re-incarnation was prophesied to happen 100 years after the death of their Kalenjin liberation hero. They believe that it is now 100 years since the death of Koitalel Arap Samoei. Their re-incarnated hero has therefore come back to liberate the whole of the Rift valley and Kenya from Kikuyu domination. Ruto’s home in Kericho is in Ainamoi Constituency and his uncles still live there. His agenda is not the same as that of the current ODM leader’s agenda. He has his own Kalenjin, Maasai, Turkana and Samburu (Kamatusa) agenda and also says openly that he wishes to be an ODM presidential candidate in 2012.
