Wheelchair bound

I’m wheelchair bound
All my life
But it doesn’t define me…
My disability isn’t the meanin
Of who I am….
It’s the way I was born,
There’s nothin wrong with me….

Doesn’t mean I’m stupid
Doesn’t mean you can mock my speech impediment…

I’m a human
I’m a person

I have feelings
I have logic…

Just like you…

Don’t dehumanize me….

Only cos I got special needs
I’m a woman
I’m black
Doesn’t mean you can treat me
Like an animal nor a child….

Yes I can write poetry
Yes I can draw
Yes I’m an independent and need an assistant
At the same time….

You may not use me
May not capitalize me

I’m a human just like you….
Are you a human?
Well i hope you are….
I mean you ain’t a robot
You still got your beatin heart….

China could seize Mombasa port in Kenya over Sh364bn SGR loan.

The port of Mombasa could be under the control of the Chinese if the government defaults on the Sh364 billion SGR loan. A report reveals that the assets of Kenya Ports Authority were used as collateral for the Sh363.96 billion Standard Gauge Railway loan. In a report tabled in Parliament, the Auditor General reveals officially for the first time that Kenya waived its immunity in the event of a legal dispute linked to default of servicing the loan. The borrowers KPA and Kenya Railways Corporation gave up claim to any immunity from legal proceedings or any of their assets. This would be in respect of any cases filed today or in future in connection with the agreement. “Under this clause (17.5) the borrowers KPA and KRC agree that any proceedings against them or their assets in connection with the agreement, no immunity from such proceedings shall be claimed by it or with respect to its assets. “…and they irrevocably waive any right of immunity whether characterised as sovereign immunity or otherwise,” the report, which has just surfaced despite being signed by former Auditor General Edward Ouko in April 2019, reads. In what brings the risk closer to home, KPA is referred to as the borrower, contrary to details that KPA’s only obligation was to facilitate or rather guarantee minimum freight volumes. This means a default on the part of Kenya in respect of the SGR loans would see the country surrender KPA assets, the main one being the Mombasa port. “KPA assets are exposed to the risk of takeover by the lender since the authority signed the payment arrangement agreement,” the audit reads. Also troubling, the auditor pointed out, is that “KPA shall make good any shortfall arising either on account of failure to reach the minimum volume of cargo.” It will be required to pay Kenya Railways “such an amount as is required to make good the shortfall within a period of 30 days after completion of reconciliation.” “In the event that KRC defaults to pay China Exim Bank freight and service charges, KPA would be compelled to deposit the amount due to KRC to a bank account designated by the Exim Bank.” The auditor decried that the two agreements in respect of the SGR loan from the Export Import Bank of China signed in November 2014 were not provided for audit review. The repayment of the principal and payment of the interest and fees on loans are to be secured by the long-term service agreement. KPA and KRC are required to guarantee a minimum amount of freight throughout the term of the agreement to be charged and received by the operator China Road and Bridge Corporation, which built the railway, holds the contract through Africa Star Operations its Kenya subsidiary. By this, the CRBC is paid the monies which the agreement said would be used to secure the repayment of principal and interest. Kenya is further exposed in the sense that all disputes not settled by mutual agreement of the two parties are to be referred to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission. “The place of arbitration shall be Beijing, PRC. The language of arbitration shall be English. Each arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties,” the agreement reads, as quoted in the audit report. The auditor said the agreement means all KPA revenue would be used to pay Kenya’s debt to the China Exim Bank if the minimum cargo volumes are not met. Ouko further pointed out that the information was not disclosed in the KPA financial statements as required of accounting practice. The argument is that such disclosure reveals the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity’s financial position and performance. “It appears from the payment arrangement agreement that KPA revenue and assets have expressly guaranteed the repayment of Sh363.96 billion financing the SGR, a material fact which has not been disclosed,” the audit reads. The SGR loan agreement is a tightly guarded secret which China itself, citing its laws, said cannot be revealed.

We know everything. We know the earth is round/flat, we know we're Africian/aboriginal, hebrew, muslim, etc. We know everything about everything, but we seem to not grasp that TOGETHER WE'RE STRONGEST.

Proverbs 24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. 24:2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. 24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. 24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety. 24:7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate. 24:8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person. 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. 24:11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; 24:12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works? 24:13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: 24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. 24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place: 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. 24:17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: 24:18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. 24:19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked; 24:20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: 24:22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? 24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. 24:24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 24:25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them. 24:26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer. 24:27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house. 24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. 24:29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work. 24:30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 24:31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 24:32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 24:33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 24:34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
