THE GANGS OF YAMUNE.




Long before we lived, a story was told,

Of a young man who was believed, to have been called.

His predecessors had foretold.

That the young man's heart was cold.

Ladies and gentlemen,
This is a story of "The Gangs of Yamune"
And how their founder was blessed with "dealership" acumen.
A gang led by ugly men.
How one tribe terrorised men

The Yamune Gang was founded by Rilliam Wuto, a very charismatic and ambitious young man who was driven by the power of greed. 

Just like the other gangs that existed before, this was no different.
It's ascent to power was filled with bloodshed. Innocent people were killed, properties destroyed and others became homeless.

Wuto was so ruthless that whenever he had  a case to answer, witnesses would disappear. Others would be bought.

Step by step he started to build his "empire" as he vowed to become the Bumpy Johnson of Yamune.

He recruited a very powerful PA by the name of Farao Kipet, who was doing the dirty work, clearing the path for Wuto.

They then recruited Ceskar Suti, a man who had deep hatred for education. This guy was the one in charge of keeping the already occupied territory in check.

The likes of Chepchumba Muskomen and Haron Cherioo were also added to the gang from the neighbouring communities.

This was happening after Wuto has had a fallout with his former boss Ushuru Kihatta.

Wuto's charisma earned him some opposing gangs and this propelled him even further.
He recruited Imani KichungwaLindi Nyoro , Musalia Bure and Moses Kabisa from the smaller gangs . This made the "Yamune Gang" a force to reckon with.
Later he recruited a ruthless member , Biggy G who later became his deputy.
This man was a lover of fashion trends that was seen in 1500 by the explorers. Cases against this mafia were dropped and the government was forced to compensate him for the previous experiences.
This is a guy who used to run a certain county from his home when the brother who was the governor at the time went abroad for treatment.
These new recruits were from humble backgrounds with promising futures. 
He was preparing for new elections to succeed the incumbent leader of the time.

Wuto's competitors were really formidable with astonishing backgrounds.
This made Wuto to go back to the drawing board.
It was here where he decided to shed of his gangster character into a  "preyerful" and poor son of the soil.
This earned him sympathy since his main competitor was labeled as a "traditionalist" .
By narrating his rise to power, he made sure that he attracted the youths by telling them that anything was possible 

He also recruited the chief returning officer to his side. This made it impossible for him to be defeated.
When the election results were announced, he emerged as the victor, though highly contested.

He had promised his followers paradise.

But what they didn't know was that he was a liar.
They were being taken to hell just like his predecessor had foretold.

The first thing he did was to appoint his "Yamune" members to key positions especially in the energy and finance departments.

The next thing was to ensure that the judicial system was so compromised to the extent of not being able to prosecute his "gang" members even if they were killed in broad daylight just like Litmus Barasa did.
Offices were created in order to give his gang members a feel of power.

The likes of Ceskar Suti, who could not afford to buy bread, were now distributing cash in shrines .
He was now owning a flying object that modern people would later call chopper.

Muskomen was now wearing outfits worth millions of shillings. He could now build his dream house with an illegal power connection. 
Those with questionable character were now being whitewashed in courts .
Transport sector was under his henchman. This allowed illegal goods to be transported without hiccups.

As a child, Wuto rarely travelled. With his newfound power, he was traveling abroad frequently. After every two weeks he will board a plane to different destinations. 
He owned expensive watches but failed to keep time.
His wife turned the National House to a shrine, to wash away the sins of his husband.

People ask, how did he manage to mobilize all the funds he used to bribe and buy support ?

Wuto and his gang made sure that all the corrupt officials went through him. There was a leader who stole enough money to finance Rwanda.
The case was dragged by Wuto's affiliates in the judicial system upto the time he assumed power.

Land was something that Wuto made sure to accumulate. During his time as the gang members of his mentor, he sold forest land through foreign currency.

This gave him a lot of money, enough to bribe key members of his opponent and judges.

He and his gang members were always involved in scandals but witnesses would disappear forever.
The gang was organized to the extent of cleaning and clearing any obstacles from their way to power.

The gang members were later rewarded with lots of money and lived a flamboyant lifestyle as the subjects suffered. 
Wuto's rise to power motivated his underlings who were driven by greed. 
They looted the treasury and resources and invested in other parts of the world. These new recruits were from humble backgrounds with promising futures. 
He was preparing for new elections to succeed the incumbent leader of the time.

He had promised his followers paradise.

But what they didn't know was that he was a serial liar.
They were being taken to hell just like his predecessor had foretold.

The next thing was to ensure that the judicial system was so compromised to the extent of not being able to prosecute his "gang" members even if they were killed in broad daylight just like Litmus Barasa did.

Wuto's rise to power motivated his underlings who were driven by greed. 
They looted the treasury and resources and invested in other parts of the world.
People were kidnapped by the military.
Innocent civilians were killed by police officers.
Being a former henchman, blood was the only thing that could quench his thirst for power.
Cabinet meetings were conducted using 'Yamune' language since key stakeholders were from the people.
During his government, bandits could now kill people, steal cattle and rosat meat in the presence of the people in charge of security.
The Internet was sometimes a luxury.
Key parastatals were now under his people .
Corruption was the official language of these people.
Borrowing money and overspending became a norm.
Through him, we learnt that God is also a registered voter.
The revenue collectors became the weapon against his political enemies
This gang made sure that people lost jobs for itlmembers to employ their kins.

Those who witnessed the gang,
Saw hardliners die by the gun,
Impunity reigned, there was no law,
Pastors prayed, though their spirits were low.
The whole country was bereaved,
Some events could not be believed,
 The citizens got angry,
Parliament was invaded by the hungry,
Food meant for VIPS was eaten by the IDPs,
Citizens ran away with the mace,
Only Wuto could be blamed for the mess.
This is the story of 'Yamune' gangs.
A story hard to believe.
A true story where the upright were led by the corrupt.
Justice was upheld by the opressor.
We needed to get good people to restrain us from bad laws.
