Ethiopian Review and EMF conducted a press conference with Kinijit North America auditor, Ato Tesfaye Asmamaw. Ato Tesfaye, a senior accountant with the U.S. Federal Elections Commission, has also served as the auditor of Kinijit North America. Ato Tesfaye has informed us that he has finished preparing a comprehensive report to be presented to the Kinijit executive committee in Addis Ababa. The report exposes the rampant corruption that went on inside the Kinijit North America committee under the leadership of Shaleqa Yoseph Yazew, in collaboration with his long time friend since their EDU days, Ato Moges Brook of Los Angeles. Between these two individuals, according to the auditor, $700,000 – $1.2 million dollars have been stolen, wasted, or unaccounted for. This figure doesn’t include funds collected in cash that had nevere been deposited in a bank account. Some of the wasteful expenses include $4,000 for just one restaurant bill, $6,000 for unauthorized trip to Kenya, etc. Only $23,000 have been sent to Ethiopia to assist the families of the jailed leaders. But even this money was not given to those who needed it. The money was distributed to the shaleqa’s and Ato Moges Brook’s friends who didn’t need the money.
According to Ato Tesfaye, the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Virginia have now launched investigations in to the financial improprieties by the shaleqa and group of friends.
Shaleqa Yoseph and group have shamed themselves and the party they were put in charge of. They betrayed their party and the people of Ethiopia. What is more sad and telling about all of us is that these individuals are being tolerated and allowed to continue holding leadership positions inside the party. We are condemning the corrupt Woyanne regime, but at the same time, we are tolerating outright stealing of public funds inside Kinijit.
After learning all the hard facts about the corruption that went on inside Kinijit and yet the top leaders fail to take strong actions, then the problem will not be with the shaleqa and his cohorts alone. Kinijit’s name will be irreparably tarnished as a corrupt party.

Elias!!!
Please put your focus on woyanye than the things
around KINIJIT. More imprtantly,don’t push to much
divisive issues for the party which tries to emerge
again. I see u make always controversial issues. May be You may build up your web site rating. However,plese consider its impact on the over all public. Though i appreciate your fact finding,it is more vigor on KINIJIT than on WOYANE.
Elias you should be proud of your self bro. I hate to admit but I thought at the time you were going over the edge.
I am glad this come out now before further damage is done to CUDP. Ato Tesfaye is truly our hero. He sounds very honest and dedicated person.
May God bless him. He truly loves his country.
Mr. Elias,
You are happy to report or expose the wrongdoings inside and around the opposition.
What about the Billions of dollars flowing at the hands of eprdf officials and the likes. Bravo.
A good servant.
This is asafari! I still do not understand how these people were allowed to steal this much money. what kind of organizational structure did CUD have? Was the Shaleka the treasurer too?
All these idiots named shaleka and Dr. Seyoum should have never been allowed to get close to money and leadership…these are a bunch of alcoholics…$4000 restaurant bill? what f#ck were they drinking? Christal? Believe it or not, but somehow these corrupts will end up in prison!! If we don’t persue this IRS will!!
Elias,
What you did is a good job worthy of a reputable journalist. The likes of ‘Bob’, a fake name, commenting ‘Please put your focus on woyanye than the things around KINIJIT.’ is sad. Unless he is a collaborator, there is no reason why these kind of stealing should be tolerated. Keep up the fire.
Hello,
while it is good to expose the wrong doing of the party members, i think it is a big mistake to suggest that the top leaders who just got out of jail for not doing anything. i am very sure these leaders will come to resonable and swift change of the party’s principle and the rules in which the members should follow once they settled and collect their minds. so let’s be patient like we were the last two years.
God Bless Ethiopia and her poor people.
betty
Thanks, ER for your good job. The shaleka gang group will face justice soon.
I am more mad at the Berhane Mewa, Andargachew and rest than on the crucks Shaleqa and co. How did they let come this far? how come they did not challenge them?
shiba hula!!!!!!!!!
Exposing the truth will only strengthen and purify Kinijit, So exposing the stealing of the splinters who call themselves KIC now is not a problem. Kinijit has no place for corrupted and undemocratic elements. This does not mean we loose focus in exposing Woyanne’s atrocities against Ethiopia.
Good job Elias.
A small tribute to the Brave Elias An Emphatic Poem

About time the Shalequa Yoseph group is exposed for their Mafia job. These are the same people who demoralized the strugle and manged to run with KINIJIT fund
Amen!
Realy i am sad so many sick peopel. like ledeto ayalaw. and shalq and etc they kille Ethiopian peopel more than,woyany, woyany me be killed 3000- 10,000 in the last 17 years. but ledato, sholq, and etc killed morethan 6millan peopel 2 years. it is amusing .
Hi
The most important thing is our leaders are out! They should say something as this is a major issue especially for a party that is not economically strong (if it happened). Again if it happened it is because of this kind of selfish and greedy people that we can not unite and fight the tyrant. It is because we have this kind of people within the 80million that less than a million woyane and supporters are in power. The good thing is it is America and no one will hide behind the law; it is just a mater of time.
One Ethiopia!!!!!!!!!
I applaud Elias and EMF for the job well done. More so, I bow to Ato Tesfaye’s hard work and effort for finding the truth. I also commend the men of the day for their patience and consistency.
1. Honorable Dr. Moges Gebremariam,
2. Honorable Berhane Mewa,
3. Honorable Andargachew Tsigie,
4. Honorable Dr. Gebrye Wolderufael,
5. Honorable Daniel Aseffa, and
6. Honorable Dawit Kebede
Shaleqa and his cohorts are now up for grabs by the law enforcement agencies of Virginia, FBI and IRS. Shame on them for stealing from the money that could have been used for tombs of children, women and elders who were massacred by Agazi soldiers as well as for daily livelihood support of elders who lost their sons and daughters and kids who lost their fathers and mothers! Shame on them for spending $4,000 when Birtukan’s toddler did not have enough milk as her mother was scarifying for the 77 million of us!
It is long over due for these hooligans to be exposed in such broad day light. They misguided Ethiopians at large so that they could hide their crimes. They swerved smear tactics and techniques via electronic media including but not limited to aigaforum (by the way have you noticed that he is quite today and looks like he would stay that way).
Having said this, our leaders may need sometime to sort this out. Some good people in Diaspora are still following this suspected embezzlers and tax evaders for not having enough information. Our leaders have to severe these good people from bad seeds Shaleqa Yosef and Moges Brook. In the meantime, I advise Dr. Taye not to be an accomplice or accessory after the fact of this suspected crime at the 11th hour.
Elias, you have earned a great credit regarding the fact you were trying to save the organization. We have so much information we could fill in around Ato Tesfay Asmamaw financial mis management report why this been going on. Just like Ledtu Or kidetu, shaleqa Yoseph, Dr. siume Solomon, Moges Brook were sending money to bribe some of US chapter representatives all alone. Like Dallas, Seatile, Canada..etc. Dr. Seyum Solomone and Solomon Bekele was playing a con-artists of the fund raising compagn. Solomon bekele and Seyume solomon was fighting in the hotel who should take more money. Solomon bekele was getting fee for traveling and doing a tricky fund raising. Dr. seyume was insisting a few citys fund raising money to giving him in the form of cash instead of depositing the money and writing him casher check. That is why Dr. Taye was interesting to hold the artifical power. He smell the organization money everywhere. Comming soon…how much money State Dept. paying for shaleqas groups, how much money Woyane is paying, what effert the shaleq Yoseph groups did to bring Shaleqa Admase and Dr. Bezabhe through woyane and State Department to further stirup the organization, how much campaign they did to separate Eng. Hailu shawel from the rest of CUDP leaders, including the family members of Eng. Hailu Shawel. Once we get the puzzel put to gether, CUDP will be much much stronger than ever!!!
Good job ER. you are the greatest journalist ,the rest are, bunch of liars stupid moranes and one sided hardliners . The supporters of shaleqa are just like a horse . any ways the shaleq band and his supporters should shut up and listen to Elias
One more thing the so called Bob the person who told Elias to concentrate on Eprdf than YE CUD Leboch he is one of the leba
Elias keep up the good job.give us fresh juice all the time .
thank you
House cleaning is necessary and good for the Kinijit in specific and for opposition in general
ELIAS!!
I JUST FOUND A NEW HERO IN YOU BRO!!!!
WAY TO GO!!!
JUST WHEN I THINK YOU HAVE NO GUTS! YOU SURPRISE US ALL!!!
YOU DA MAN!
GREAT JOB!
Elias,
My hats off to you sir!
I was one of your ardent opponents and skeptical of your so called exposes because I thought and hoped they were not true. I thought these were just fabrications and lies by people jealous of CUD’s success. I am mad beyond belief, that the good name and reputation of CUD has been damaged by greedy individuals like Yosef Yazew and Mogus Brook. We all are grateful to Ato Tesfaye for his determination and courage for revealing the truth. Thanks to him, now the thieves have nowhere to hide since everything is out in the open. I am also encouraged that the authorities are investigating the two corrupt individuals and I hope and pray they will get what they deserve.
To those of you nagging Elias to forget KNA corruptions and concentrate on Woyanie: Why bother? We already have a corrupt TPLF regime in place, why do we need another one?
Respectfully,
-Surafel
Elias Sir
Once again Job well done. We need to have clean house before we move on to the next freedom fighting chapter.
Stop The Struggle and Start The Fight !!!
Elias,
I love your honesty, gut and hard work to bring out good leaders to lead Ethiopia and expose corrupt people such us Meles, Yoseph Yazew and Brook Mogus…
Keep up the good job!!!
In the past, the most bothersome part was your calculative timing that may not necessarily have favored kinijit. As an investigative type journalist you could be, may not be advised to refrain from a branch of your profession.
-Doesn’t the auditor have a responsibility to make his official report in the presence of what ever committee was assigned to look over the investigation?.
-Why did the auditor go to the most antagonistic Ethiopain media duos who had openly been fierce and bitter critiques of Shaleka Yoseph?. His integrity seems partial.
– The same duo have been very much a part of the recently dissolved KIL
– ER and EMF have their varying degrees of journalism that can be appreciated and other times detested. In this political climate, there seem to be no more Ethiopian objective journalism. Specially web media seems to be divided into pro regime/ at times extremely anti opposition, OR pro democracy/ at times extremely anti regime.
-The internal division of the CUD dispute had obviously felt the test of the fourth force/power/state of Democracy, and some times to its on determent, and other times to its benefit. How much role should it play in affecting the party’s direction as CURRENTLY partial profession with in CUD’s division?.
-KIL dissolved itself
-HR 2003 is dead
-Corruption engulfing Kinijit exposed further.
-Obstacles facing Kinijit and possible solutions
All of the above have been ER’s news HEAD LINES with in a week.
KIC and KIL are more or less inclusive of each other, unless some thing major has taken place behind the scene. It was a clear directive to add 11 people to KIL’s 12 members and name it KIC instead of KIL. All political maneuver and power struggle aside, it looked that simple. The directive was before the chairman and 37 others were released. Thank God that they are released. KIL was headed to be dissolved any way. If the chairman of the party and high level delegates will be heading to North A., why not leave it to them for now and may be focus on the release of the remaining political prisoners and of course with out closing your eagle eye on Kinijit.
The most honorable and believable way for the auditor was to submit the report to the observing parties, including the leadership in Ethiopia first before it reaches the media AT THIS CRITICAL TURNING POINT..
Elias:
I was often sceptical of your postings, now you proved me totally wrong. I sincerely apologize for not trusting you in the past and thank you very much for your honesty too. Keep on exposing those who are betraying the people of Ethiopia.
Dr. Moges Gebremariam, Berhane Mewa, Andargachew Tsigie, Dr. Gebrye Wolderufael, Daniel Aseffa, and Dawit Kebede, I think these people are partly responsible for what happen. Why they didn’t ask, investigate, complain or do whatever it takes to expose this corruption. After, hell break lose you guys seems like saying “we didn’t know” , which is not the answer. Any way our leaders in Ethiopia should start to work hard to gain the confidence many Ethiopian who give their hard earned money to CUDP
Well done ER. It is that kind of reporting corruption independently in government and opposition, that can shame and expose all parasites who go to politics for sucking common resources dry and out. Holding all public office occupants to account, keeping all organisational finance in transparency, and erecting a strong and solid foundation of good governance in opposition parties will enhance the chance of good government in future.
Keep on but give every report its weight. Never turn your eyes off where the bulk of corruption is. That is the government,central and regional.After all they are trusted with our national treasury.
Elias:
Don’t be foolish. Your political game has been exposed since long time ago. What is happening there inside Kinijit USa is their problem. It is not yours. If you hate Kinijit then go away and be a member of ONLF and OLF. We know you are for these organizations. Time will come to expose yours side too.
Be wise.
Elias and Dawit!
God job! I was following all the news about Shalqa Yosef and his co. I was wondering why KIC was not dissolving itself like KIL after they got the official letter from the chairman. Yes, they should not because they want to cover this thing forever.
It very sad to know that Dr. Taye is hijacked by this group. If he will not resign within few days, I will be forced to think the worest that he wanted to be part of this drama. I am hoping that he is smart enough to know this. It is really shame.
Elias,
It is strange that some contents of the audit report is out in public before it is submitted and perused by by the CUDP leaders in Addis Ababa who were in jail only a few days ago. Please exercise caution and give time the top leadership of CUDP to pronounce themselves on several matters of paramount importance. CUDP is one hope Ethiopians have got to stem the destruction of the EPRDF regime.
RA
No prime minister, Billioner, thief or any one acts beyond the human dignity is emune to Elias Kiffle’s honesty, bravery and hard work. Other journalists, Radio prog and internet sites need to learn professionalism and ethic from him.
The theaf is captured.
Thanks ER and EMF for the wonderful job you did in exposing the corrupt individuals in Kinijit. Kinijit must cleanse itself off such corruption, or will risk losing popular support. I am also proud of Ato Tesfaye. He seems to be a very honest, sincere, professional person. He should be Ethiopia’s Attorney General. He is the kind of person who would work to root out corruption from Ethiopian politics and bureaucracy.
The thief is captured
We knew all along there was something serious going on inside KNA/KIL. We were hungry, desperate and angry to know the truth about. Now the truth came out with very unbelievable story and that hurts deeply.
Shaleqa of what? Thieves. This experienced daylight ‘Thief Yoseph Gizaw’ behavior is not started one or two years a go. Stealing must be his entire life achievement he became shaleqa as a result in the thief world. We must not take time even to breath before he and his associates punished for the rest of their life in US jail. The evidences are there. Respected, skilled and true Ethiopian individuals such as Ato Tesfaye, Lawyers and others are more than enough to clean the thief Yoseph Gizaw types from the Ethiopian community in US and elsewhere.
Radio stations such as Addis dimts and the likes and some internet sites that had close contact with so called KIC need to go back immediately and make an interview with Dr. Taye to make his position clear that weather he knew or not about Thief Yoseph crime before he joined him? I still have respect to Dr. Taye for his long contribution to Ethiopia. I feel Thief Yoseph and his group lied to him to use him covering their crimes. We also want to know why the so called shimagles (the Bezabeh group) behaved the way they did despite they knew about the thief Yoseph’s crime.
No Prime Minister, No Billionaire, No thief or anyone else acting beyond the human dignity is immune to the Elias Kifle’s truth, honesty and hard work. Elias Kifle deserves appreciation and apology from many of us that we criticized him in this regard. We want mothers like Elias’s mother having twins every 9 months if the child becomes the same as Elias does. He sells his professionalism, integrity, dignity and his human conscious for nothing even you give him billions of dollars. Shame to other weak and domestic animal Type journalists looking always subjective matter rather than objectives as their job is demanding for.
Thanks to Elias. You teach us a lot. In the future we way continue criticizing you. But don’t take it as personal. At the end you will beat us as you did with the thief Yoseph’s case.
We respectfully ask you to spread you wing beyond the Atlantic Ocean and bring us the truth about what is going on in London, and other cities in Europe concerning the collected money in the name of poor and killed Ethiopian.
Please people these big problem should not be exposed public ,woyane will interfer with this stupid side.Please dear ,who post this news, I dont think that this is good.
Yep, that seems to be the end of Thief Yosef Yazew. He is going down not to return back. Dr Taye and the rest should distance themselves as quickly as possible.
bye bye Thief Yosef Yazew. From now on that is how you will be adressed–with your new title: Thief. No more Shaleqa. Here is the new title in Amharic:
Adegegnaleba Yoesf Yazew
Adegegna leba Moges Brook
Tebabari leba Bezabih
Tebabari leba ???(the other guy)
Achberbari leba Taye WoldeSemayat
Thanks Elias and Dawit to expose the interigue.
I love Kinijit, but this time all my trust is going to vanish. So do most supporters, I believe. Two questions are klicking frequently in my mind. If CUDP have taken the responsibility to lead the country, imagine how many Feudals and old gangerins were around us to loot and suck our blood in the name of CUDP. Secondly, as a party CUDP was not in a capacity to lead a country as we can see the mess from North america. It is a party with no clear by-laws, where every one twist it to any direction for his ego, it is a party linked with ”BE AMECHA, BEGABECHA, BEMETEWAWEKE, BETEKEME ASADAJOCH”not by principles. When are we going to be free from these old FEUDALTEBAYOCH WHO SUCKED THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE FOR MORE THAN 100YEARS, HAGERACHEWEN BE BIRR SISHETU KENEBERU YEDERGE WOTADEROCH, YEPOLETIKAW AKAHEDE KETEFABACHEW EPRP MEMBERS etc—. The CUDP leaders have two choices either to lead us in a democratic and prinicipled way by exposing all these mess to the public that it will never happen again or to leave us.
I don’t think these is a standard way of reporting Audit findings. Please don’t exhgurate things. How much is un authorized expenditure, how much needs additional justification, how much is un accounted for. I may tell you one example, you may buy a car from a private dealer at a cost of $10,000.00 with out proper proceduer, and have no good reciving notes attaced. The auditor may idendtified as an irrigularity. But it is not mean that this money is taken to individual pocket. Like travel to Keney, Bill to Hotel, etc. are not good example to show miss appropration. Please don’t exhagurated things we do have more things to do …. Focus on establishing system don’t point finger on individuals. One other important issue is cash collection, the mistake is for the individuals who give money without reciveing reciept don’t shift responsiblity to others take yourself too…
Thanks
One thing must be clear
Kinijit is created in Ethiopia by brave and mentally healthy Ethiopians. True Kinijit Leaders and supporters are sacrificing everything including their comfort life, freedom and life, too. Many of them are still doing the same thing at the very moment.
Kinijit as a party was/is not exist neither US nor elsewhere beyond mother Ethiopia. What we call it KNA/KIL/KIC is not a party but a supposed to be trusted and expected to conduct a human job serving Kinijit back home. Brave and smart Kinijit leaders very well calculated and aware of their relationship with so called GOVT and as the result they created this support group in order to the people struggle continues while they were in jail or paid sacrifices in the name of their country and defenceless people.
Yet the trusted support group to facilitate the people struggle became the main obstacle against the struggle and weaken the Kinijit leaders and supporters position back home. What Thief yosef Gizaw and his group have done against Ethiopia at this very crucial time is a difficult one even to describe with words.
Therefore what Ethiopians need to understand is that Kinijit leaders and supporters back home are the worst victims to this criminal group than anybody else as they are in the middle of the people struggle. When this all happened outside the country CUDP leader were/are in a horrible prison, hiding, in exile or being massacred in the name of their party/Ethiopia. Because of the distance, condition or some other issues Kinijit leaders might have made some errors while selecting camouflage individuals such thief yoseph Gizaw. But neither they nor the people associating with these mafia group never ever expected would happen this kind evil act, taking the money collected from generous Ethiopians in the name of poor, weak, injured, imprisoned and killed Ethiopian in the name of freedom and democracy.
Now we identified the cancer(s) that was/were affecting us physically, financially and mentally. From now on they must be treated as dangerous cancers. To reach at this point gives us the happiest day to our relationship with our country. This is the time we all have to come together with new and practical approach to push further the people struggle the next level. We have to be behind CUDP back home more than ever. We have learnt our lesson in a very hard way we will never forget. Learning from the past mistakes and work the better future together is the only option and solution we have. Accusation and counter accusation will serve the Ethiopian people back home nothing but another misery and hard life.
The thief Yoseph and his associates issue need to be finished only after he and his associates locked up in US jail we know how it is the perfect example of hell on earth. Because of criminals and thieves, we must not retreat and being reluctant about our Knijit party that has the doctrine only peaceful struggle has a 100% guarantee and less cost ways to bring better life in Ethiopia. We need each other more than ever. Unity and respect will bring us forward in to the better place.
Elias Kifle, Dawit Kebede and respected Ethiopian Ato Tesfaye must be our examples not disgraced individuals such as Thief Yoseph and his likes. We must continue together to reach somewhere together.
God bless elias kifle. you have told us that those corrupted feudals have stolen kinijit’s money which kinijit;s supportters contributed to support the struggle at home. but nobody did not like to give his or her ears. i am really sorry .and I am asking you your forgivness for using offensive words against you in support of one of those bloody feudals. you have alarmed very well and told every body those shameless corrupted ppl have misused kinijit;s money for their personaly luxery.
Shaleka,

ER & EMF job Well done. Mekerew, Mekerew, embi bil mekera yemekerew. You and the invstigative tim have don a great job. those individuls are worrest than woyane. keep the good job.
Tesfaye says over and over again that some individuals were asking for refund of the money they spent on behalf of the organization. What is wrong with that?
Dear ER
The interview with ato Tesfaye was an eye opener. How could one man have total control over an organization supposedly governed by an executive committee? Where was the transparency and accountability? I think Tesfaye’s auditing has just scratched the surface. Who knows how much cash, without any paper trail, was embezzled. I hope the IRS and VA tax officials will dig further and fill in the blank. All organizations, civic, religious, political etc. should learn from this and make accountability and transparency part of their organizational culture.
I call upon the released leadership of CUD to take appropriate action after reading the full report and examining all the evidence presented. The first step is to disassociate itself from Shaleka Yosef until the issue is resolved once and for all. It is not in the best interest of the organization to continue business as usual with an individual who stands accused of misappropriation of public funds. Appearance is everything. He will have his day in court to prove his innocence. Second, I call upon the leadership to establish a neutral blue ribbon committee to study the full report, gather additional evidence, hold hearings and present its findings to the membership. Third, I urge the leadership to immediately take control of the financial affairs of the organization and institute an accounting and control system in line with generally accepted accounting principles.
God bless Ethiopia
It is a remarkable work. Good job guys. who said bandas are only found with enemies?????????
Because of peoples like ELIAS and TEFAE CUDP will rise more than everrrrrrrr.Noone or nothing can stop us…Not even shaleka and his allays ….
But we should have one thing in mind, Human beings are not perfect(esp. with money) and should be controlled every time they make a move….”so people of Ethiopia let’s control our organization” just like the accountant said simple and clear
Such Kind of mistake should never happen again, Keep on the good work guys
Elias, You always suprise me, you are brave and almost all the time you are telling the truth, I remember when you first report the trouble inside Kinijit north America, I hated you to my bones, taught you are one of Woyanne’s foot soldiers, but as expected from a brave and honest Jornalist you are telling the truth, I know some times times it hurt, but this will pass too, it is good for our Kinijit, it will teach us unfogettable lesson…. Thank you, Sir.
Dear Tesfaye Asmamaw, Elias Kifle & Dawit Kebede.
I have listened to every word you said and discussed on Addis Voice. COM’s radio Interview it is enlightening. It is nice to see the meetings of minds. It is good to turn on the lights on the Cockroaches with dead spirit and learn how they scam the innocent. You see these are wolfs in a sheep skin. I am sure they will burn in hell too.
To complement your did, here is a word of advice.
“REFLECTION” author unknown
Presented by Getachew W. Selassie
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what the man has to say
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass.
The fellow whose judgment counts most in life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum
And think you’re a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum
If you can’t look him straight in the eye.
He’s the fellow to please. Never mind all the rest
For he’s with you clear up to the end,
And you pass the most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may lead the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
In any kind of struggle, corruption and corrupters are condemned!! Unfortunetly Sprit world is also abide by the same principle. The High supreme authority will not tolerate people who have a corrupting mind. They will be sorted or clssfied, along with Adulteries, homosexuals, and people who have wicked moral standards. As we heard from the Auditor Tesfaye, the subject is caught red handed. Good for him!! No pardon!! No clemency letter!! For this time Professor Isaac need to take a break!! As the Shalkea and his cohorts will wait their court days, it is also expected that a brave and a courageous leadership of CUDP should release a very sincere and strong condemnation massge , against theses individuals. The Good name of CUDP and its reputation has been severely damaged. This should be a litmus test for the leadership, most of all to its current chairman Engineer Hailu Shawel.. It is my hope that, the Engineer will address this critical issue in his visit to North America, to all the kinigit supporters, and will show zero toleration for any one who is stealing public money. The top priority of the leadership will be to clean the house of kinigit from the jaws of Shaleka and his associates. I hope the Engineer and his close advisers will stand on the side of truth and integrity, along with thousands of honest kinigiit supporters and good wishers around the globe… Many are still asking however, what will happen though, if the likes of individuals like that of Shaleqa and the groups will hold a high public position ? Heavenly father, please save our country from these Cobras!!! AMEN!!
..did not listen to Ato Tesfaye’s interview, however, as the case is openly announced to go to court through IRS, it is not easy to pass judgement conclusively. I think the so called “corruption” also included mis management ,and initially the auditor him self was appreciative that Kinijit welcomed auditing and it was the first(last summer). At this point, to condemn it as embezzlement or to defend “the corruption” could be premature. According to EMF, the leadership in Addis Ababa has assigned six high level delegates to investigate the “corruption”, and that is a very good sign of leadership and a relief to give the focus a break, and especially give hope to the well understood disappointment of supporters who trusted their contribution for real progress.
Kinijit’s leaders may have been well known, highly guarded and acclaimed by millions before their imprisonment. There are also millions who came to know more about them after their fateful challenge at Kality, and the two years ordeal. As they emerge out of confinement and in practice of their leadership, there are as many who are eager to follow what their leadership is like. They face several challenges, but so far, there is some thing reassuring and progressive about them ,that allows optimism to wish them over come the hurdle.
