KENYAN LEADERSHIP: WHAT A SHAME!” KIKUYU MISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS IN NEW YORK
Most Kenyans spread in the US states are flabbergasted by the ill motives spearheaded in the corridors of the Kenyan Missions which we as Kenyans can call KIKUYU MISSIONS TO THE UNITED NATIONS IN NEW YORK because of the way the office is placed by one tribe KIKUYU simply because they are in power and nothing can be done.
We Kenyans travelled to Kenya during last elections to vote for RAILA ODINGA TINGA because we needed change and they did sabotage our travelling by rigging elections and
they think they can rig and corrupt everywhere even in the USA without fear.
To start with, UN Ambassador – Kikuyu, UN Deputy- Kikuyu, UN Accountant- Kikuyu, UN Secretaries- Kikuyu, Telephone operator – Kikuyu, Receptionist-Kikuyu, What is all this Kikuyu in the UN office????Everything in the Kenyan Missions is KIKUYU. WHY???????????
The national language in the corridors of the UN Missions in New York is KIKUYU. You mean Kenyan Missions to UN belongs to Kikuyu tribe?
We as Kenyans in the USA are very bitter with this Kikuyu Missions to the UN Issues.
There are no other Kenyans who can be employed in the missions?
The Sri-Lankans who have served for several years are very frustrated that they don’t know what is happening with this kind of corrupt leadership. They are wondering whether
they are working for Kikuyu Missions to the UN or Kenyan Missions to the UN. One of them told a group of Kenyas that they can’t believe this is the Kenyan Mission they have
worked for over ten years.
The UN Missions was very good previously but now, there is so much corruption going on with the new management. This corruption was there when the former Deputy Ambassador was there but he did not have power that is why Muburi campaigned for his early retirement because he wanted a Kikuyu to be replaced but since Kenyans back home see what is happening, they had to slow down with their postings.
We Kenyans in the USA are putting an eye to see who is next. If it will be Kikuyu, that is when you see demonstrations in this country and Kikuyu will not enter the UN office.
The world is on the look out of all the things that are happening. ONE OF THE DISGUSTING THINGS IS THAT THIS UN AMBASSADOR CAUSED DEATH TO A KENYAN MISSION EMPLOYEE WHO DIED OF SEPTIC SHOCK RECENTLY DUE TO REPLACEMENT WHILE BED RIDDEN AT HOSPITAL BY A KIKUYU. The late had served the UN missions for over twenty years and because she was not Kikuyu, they had to get rid of her while bed ridden and when she heard of her replacement, she died of shock = DEATH CERTIFICATE CAN CONFIRM THAT.
One of the employees who have served along with the late in the UN mission for more than ten years said that this UN Missions is completely changed office since the current
Ambassador Muburi was appointed. One of them commented that they are ready to be interviewed with the Media and want to pursue to get what is right for them through the UN laws. The way things are, they have worked for the Missions for many years and ready to face the UN law because this office is abusive. They are tired of watching corruption in that office and are ready to go but straighten things.
This Ambassador does not follow UN BY-LAWS instead he has formed his KIKUYU BY-LAWS in the office. Ambassador Muburi, you are going to face the UN court very soon with what you are doing to foreign employees who are dedicated to making our country Kenya a success.
You have stained the name of our country Kenya at the UN because of the scandals and corruption and don’t think it will go far.
All the Kikuyu’s employed in that office have no experience and qualifications; it only depends on who you know. We as Kenyans think this man is very corrupt because if I remember the article which was posted Monday May18th,2009 about WRONG INTENTION BY KAS TO DESTROY KACA,we as Kenyans are now calling on the officer- Mr. Muburi to mind his work and stop corruption in the Mission, stop dividing Kenyans along ethnic lines and further stop disrupting the local organizations that unite Kenyans abroad.
Kenyans have been pointing fingers at this ambassador posted from Kenya at the UN offices to be behind an elaborate scheme to disintegrate the local organization. We know that KAS is being initiated by the Party of National Unity back in Kenya and is spearheaded in the US by the UN officer. They are crooked on ensuring that they form Diaspora ambassadorship and engage in destroying local organizations that are not aligned to PNU and form a
political base come the next general election in 2012 in Kenya.
WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT DURING LAST ELECTIONS, THIS AMBASSADOR MUBURI FORCED ALL STAFF WORKING IN THE KENYAN MISSION TO CONTRIBUTE $ 1000 TOWARD THE CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT MWAI KIBAKI AND IF YOU DID NOT GIVE, YOUR CONTRACT WAS NOT RENEWED/TERMINATED. If he thinks he is going to use this projection to form KAS in a metropolitan area, an organization sponsored by PNU to destroy other tribes that work as a community based organization that carter for the hardships of Kenyans” then I think he should know that we are not employees of the Kikuyu Mission to UN but we are Kenyans who are focused and don’t entertain nonsense.
Reliable sources indicate that those behind KAS are looking to be rewarded by PNU through UN mission if their quest to destroy local organization succeeds. It has come to the knowledge of Kenyans here in the US that the KAS interim officials have KACA data base information prompting them to launch investigation to ascertain how they came to have access to such information.“They cannot attend or help organize community needs, but they want to destroy a community based organization” disgruntled Kenyans were heard complaining.
KAS is composed majorly by Kenyans who work at UN and Kenya’s UN mission to carter for their own matters which are different from KACA that is a community based organization also in New Jersey. Those with ill ambitions in KAS to uproot KACA are not having the heart and love for Kenyans in the New Jersey; they love to be seen and heard but have no community mandate. It is crystal clear that KAS is not a community based organization but a charter for a PNU back in Kenya.
Concerned Kenyans
Kenya, with the help of Britain, USA and other powerful members of the European Union, has been governed through a system of favored “alpha tribe”, the Kikuyu.
The history of the colonization indicates that Kenya, like many British colonies in Africa, was governed through the chiefs at the local levels. In 1963, the system was modified a bit. In 1963, the colonial rulers, pretentiously, handed over some power to the Kikuyus by signing some dubious decrees. These decrees left governing in the hands of the chosen tribe and land laws with the colonial rulers. The ruling elites have since been very slick in ruling other tribes with impunity through carefully selected tribal sycophant system.
The main function of a tribal sycophant is to monitor, antagonize, suppress, brutalize or ignore anyone with an opposition view within his/her assigned tribal sphere of influence.
Sycophants are handsomely rewarded for making the lives of their fellow tribesmen hell on earth should they be tempted disagree with them rules of engagement laid down by the alpha tribe for whom they work.
I came across an earlier posting on this website which raises a similar question about the collaboration of the present and past elected MPs with this ruling system. Despite being pretentiously noisy, Luo MPs have been part and parcel of this regime.
http://www.jaluo.com/apisi01802.html
Within the Luo community, this sycophantic behavior by MPs or those acting on their behalf has resulted in massive nepotism, corruption, under-development, poverty, disease and premature death. The Luos, who used to take pride in being the most educated, are now dying like flies due to poverty, unemployment and lack of opportunities. Yet election after election, the MPs working within the system and their family trees have hit the campaign trails to hoodwink the poor to vote for them again and again.
If the “alpha tribe” is guilty of preventing other tribes from getting the piece of the pie, it is also true that the collaborating tribal sycophants are the proxies through whom this unfair system has been instituted and maintained.
If Kenya’s “alpha” tribe is corrupt to the core and is only interested in the prosperity of its own tribal members at the expense of other tribes, they must be held accountable for their willingness to profiteer as security guards by promoting the agendas of the foreign powers calling the shots which they readily impose on poor Kenyans.
Apart from promoting the building of massive slums which have become chaotic death traps with no sewage or running water for many, the Kenyan “alpha tribe” and their tribal sycophants have also chosen to pay lip services to the 99.9% of poor Kenyans since 1963. In these death traps called slums, the unfortunate Kenyans forced to live there are constantly subjected to frequent raids from police or armed forces whose salaries are paid by foreign aids. Remember aids are intended for keeping law and order..
It is not difficult to understand why Kenya, a country which has no dispute with external enemies, is armed to the teeth. The enemy must be poor Kenyans kraaled in slums cities where they must be constantly watched and controlled!
ARROGANT DOMINATION BASED ON ETHNICITY
The United Nations Organization should rise up to its call and refuse an ethnic group to represent a great country like Kenya at its headquarters in New York.
Under what criterion is the UNO accepting one tribe, the Kikuyu from the sweeper to the ambassador, to represent Kenya in New York?
The UNO must realize that the Kikuyu bigots that rigged the 30th December 2007 caused the post elections violence.
The Kikuyu’s continued arrogance and maneuvering have led Kenyans to deliberately demand the trial of the perpetrators of the said violence at The Hague and never at a local tribunal since we know for certain that a local tribunal could definitely be arrogantly influenced by the heartlessly powerful Kikuyu leaders.
Just as the same Kikuyus arrogantly rigged the December 30, 2007 presidential elections resulting in the sad post elections violence resulting in the deaths of more than 1500 innocent Kenyan democrats they have shamelessly rigged themselves into our UNO Mission in New York.
The Kikuyus retained the power but totally lost the hearts of all truly peace loving Kenyans who form 80% of the population. But worse, in historical terms, they have not only lost the land they grabbed in the Rift Valley but also in the rest of the country. Why should the UN allow them to grab our UN office paid for by our taxes?
The same Kikuyus caused the post elections violence leading to the more than 600000 IDPs. Now Minister Uhuru Kenyatta himself a Kikuyu has released a budget that has cushioned the killers with resettlement at the expense of the taxpayer. As if this is not enough Kenyans are forced to pay for Kikuyus in total disregard to justice or sense of proportion to selfishly man our UN mission in New York for the benefit of of this one ethnic group.
If by their shameless arrogance they have lost the love of fellow Kenyans here at home how much more impossible will it be for them to earn the love of Americans who might have thought that they represented the forces of progressive democracy, hence supporting them soon after Kibaki was inadvertently declared the winner, only to withdraw it ones they saw the Kibaki/Kikuyu militia and police gleefully killing innocent democrats protesting the presidential elections theft?
A march by progressive Kenyans in the United States of America on the Kenyan UNO mission in protest against the extension of Kikuyu tribalism to it will go along way in opening the eyes of the world, more so the ICC at The Hague prior to the trial of the perpetrators of the post elections violence.
Kenyans have rejected Kikuyu domination over them and have consistently paid for it with their blood therefore a march to our UN mission in New York will be a small price to pay in the name of humanity.
The planned march to the mission should go ahead and let world cameras catch, expose and spread the forces of democracy, truth and justice in motion for all to see.

I could not read your article any further from the first three paragraphs. Please get yourself out from the tribal type of mentality if you are still in that class. I do not deny the truism of the matter that most elligible candidates could come from one tribe though that should not be a reality. I beg to be corrected, but let those shortlisted for the appointments air their views as to why they got turned down!! with these I agree that all appointments should not be pegged on tribal or party affiliations but qualifications!!
When we get ourselves to this type of thoughts our dear nation would not move even an iota of a minute leave alone a second, coz the mentality of ‘I will not get the position’ due to your own wit that you come from a different community is a shallow way of going. The truth is you will never apply for them and will always complain about it, day-in day-out.
Positive thoughts is what am preaching and not the negative.
I would never , never deny my identity and roots, neither will you.Though am a gikuyu I have friends from all over our republic and we all talk as Kenyans since i have gone to schools in all borders and I can give you loads of their contacts to confirm my issues.
One of my friends once told me that most people who make alot of tribal noises, apart from the few politicians who have gone places and want to corrupt those ‘who can’t think for themselves’ were born, grew, attended schools, met their first lovers,married and chances are they will die in that same village. How that’s true I don’t know, But this can be a discussion for another day,what say you?
From: tom
Subject: stop this tribalism
you and your f***ing website are just a bunch of
ribalistic fools who just spread hatred against againist
other tribes especially the kikuyu
you should know better than this .if u want odinga
to be president u should wait ur turn coz ur simply foolish and very
idiotic
Tom,
If what is being discussed here is false, buddy, why don’t you just point out the falsehood instead of utterring sexually explicity language and muttering words nobody can understand.
You are one angry dude who, apparently, is a control freak. You want control what other Kenyans think, say, do or where they live! For how long can you maintain this system, SIR!
reading the article i was ashamed that in 2009 some individuals are still thinking in such primitive modes.ok,u need prayers.so what are u suggesting?that we sack all of them an ask for new applicants who should be Turkana?Maasai,Kisii….?i was actualy shocked for a minute there and had to confirm the coincidence that the said officials are kikuyu.to my shock they were not and what was more amazing is the fact that the few who are there qualified by merit.is it kikuyus fault that they form the largest ethnic group in kenya thus increasing the probability of them filling up most coveted vacancies in the society.before u complain,go back to your rural home in kenya and improve the literacy level so that in the future in revenge mode they will have the best of grades so that they occupy all the positions.so u think the united nations has become corrupt because of kikuyus?come back to kenya and u will be shocked the largest corruption scams were spear headed by non-kikuyus…..maize scandal.goldernberg anglo-leasing…and even in the streets..ironicaly the police department is headed by a non kikuyu yet corruption is rampant.this shows mi that you are thinking on the steriotyped view held by locals that kikuyus love money and are thus corrupt.remember what they also say with no pun intended that the Luos are just high sounding prattllers who just speak big and act small.i quit being triblelistic when i heard of civillisation and brothers i still think there is hope for you……..and for your information am a kikuyu who voted for Raila and am still one of his fans not because he is luo but because he has the interest of kenyans at heart not the luos….he is among the civilliced crop from the community who have more in their character than the mask of luoism….did u realize the half luo obama ignored kenya as a whole on his african tour?yes he did because his mind sees Kenya not ‘my luo tribe”….get a clue from him .
Such one-sided diatribes by ethnic chauvinists like you are what give Jaruos a very bad reputation as tribalists par excellence. It would be far much more useful if you provided evidence and sources even though the demons in your head might be pushing you in another direction.
KENYAN UN MISSION
The pot calling charcoal black! What a shame! Nobody will blame you if you are not selfishly excessive in your dealings! You are not the only Kenyans, mark yous! Why you of all the the 42 tribes?
DR. ODIDA OKUTHE.
Dr who??? Whoever or wherever you got the title will amaze me till the last drop of soil in my grave.
Pls change the way you think just for a minute coz only the insecure will strive for security.Your tribal way of thinking just make others hate you as a person and dislike your way of thinking.
You are the kind of people that make the PM kosa votes coz of ur reckless talk and opinions in broader Kenya.
I would be chewing much than I can swallow to call you names but my friend, this is not gutter press in your village, tell your villagers this and you will get loads of parties cos the reality will stay forever.
As I always say, RAO has always been my guy, though am Gikuyu.Your utterances are worse than WMD’s though they can’t change my thinking about RAO.But what do yu think about the other Kenyans???You are one of the reasons why we never upset other parties coz of your ‘ideological’ thinking.STYLE UP!!!! WE ARE IN THE 21st CENTURY.
Though I quote MLK that We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people and of quote, You are a disgrace to Kenya. Period
lyn,
There have been many Kenyans who, at the dawn of Kenya’s independence, never looked at Kenya through the lense of tribal differences until they, one by one, sarted
(a) going to detention
(b) being assassinated
(c) poisoned
Upto now, no sensible information have been given as to why Kungu Karumba, Tom Mboya, J.M Kariuki, and Robert Ouko (to name only a few) were murdered.
You talk about education or lack thereof of the Luos and other tribes. I hope you have not forgotten that since 1963, the Kenyan University campuses have become the battle grounds for GSU. These are the elite arms of the government. Their salaries are paid for with foreign aids from other governments who are calling the shots in the background in Kenya.
The government elites have not only been engaged in the building massive slums to ensure that poor Kenyans are controlled inside these filthy enclosures so that the GSU can descend upon like the wolf on the fold; they also have made sure that the future of Kenya, the youths (students), are taught the virtue of obedience to others. In other words, in this global arena, Kenya’s youths are being groomed to be obedient and take orders from their peers(age groups) in other countries. They are taught that thinking independently is not a very safe or wise thing to do. It is difficult to understand why the elites in power would afraid of young people who are thinking outside the box.
Since 1963, many educated Kenyans who had opposing views have been silenced, killed, or run out of the country because they were not obedient!
Remember, a nation that is hell bent on destroying its young minds will eventually be taken over by those other nations that nurture their youths.
He should drop the Dr. prefix it has little relevance to the ignorance displayed here. But anyway, on whose behalf (of the 42 tribes) are you talking? The Kalenjin? Spare us your stupidity.
You guys preach how you can love each other make different green peace NGOs,help different ethnic groups at grassroots,make money from hand to hand in SMEs.Take any child for available scholarship abroad.Nurse street children like Griffins did at Nairobi Starehe.Do politics of agreeing to disagree, listening, pondering before emotionally writing or talking. Can always drink tea together and marry a lady from any tribe for a coherent Kenyan community and for sustainable development devoid of political hatred.Kenya has a lot of intellectuals but many preach alcoholic hatred.After whisky, indigenious alcohol, maratina, buza, changaa and matumbo everybody is intelligent speaks IN TONGUES, legal language like Platos and can be a leader of maffia, but let us avoid obtuse thinking and come to reality of leading and nursing a sensible nation that is sober and with noble brains:Kenya is a great NATION that needs to avoid legislatured corruption that you will never take to court books but will always keep fat accounts at SWISS banks that their grandsons and daughters will never find.For UN, ambassadorial SEATS ,Whoever is veted and selected by State should always serve at the International level by permutation, combination, factorization and in terms of exponents of merits and should depend on the backing from the Party having the biggest number of seats in the Parliament.This former PNU-Attitutde and DR.Mutua acting as the Chief of Protocol in foreign affairs dealings of doing things should never never be allowed to impede success.
Our Problem Kenyans is Kangroo court of merit in Corporations like Kenya Pipeline,NAS, Kenya Revenue Authority etc, civil service, employment of EAT BY SIDE Rothchild (EBMS-Rothchild) full of corruption from the Kenyan village to the highest ambassadorial level- The rothchild never gets a thing to cover herself with even what to it, she is right at Kawangware or Mathare valley in slums, but the Apex of civil service reaps all on the rothchild’s account.
How often how we seen for the last ten years Kenyan Missions employing their family kins as drivers, cooks, painters and watchmen in Europe and other countries abroad earning allowances more than Kenyan professors.Please investigate them. It is a high time the Kenya Nation did a vetting and investigation to cover the lost money in these embassies the way UK is doing for their MPS in Parliament.Kenya is rich, if it can repatriate the Acake funds taken to Switzeland illegally by former dictators and politicians to help build the country.
Let us thinK and grow rich, for a NATION THAT IS AWAKE
CAN SEE FAR AND FEED HERSELF. USUALLY THEY SAY “A PLATFORM OF PROBLEM IS ALWAYS A PLATFORM OF SUCCESS”. KENYA WAS IN TATTERS NOW IT IS FLOURISHING. LET US NURSE THE WOUNDS BUILD A SENSIBLE SUSTAINABLE NATION FOR PEACE AND HUMANRIGHTS TO PREVAIL.
Just think and grow rich for everybody was born without clothes and when you die they will take all your riches and soul to help the World.

I do not think this tribalistic way of thinking will get us anywhere. Whether you traveled to Kenya to vote Raila, is not an issue here. For there are other tribes that can rule Kenya, other than Luo.
Most of us Kenyans are offended by anything done in a tribal manner. Propagating this agenda will surely see Kenyans once again at war with one another.
Every Kenyan has a right to be president, councilor, ambassador etc. Whether Luo or Kikuyu.
As long as you possess the right credentials, you should be given the opportunity to get that which you desire.
Truth and Reconcilliation brings hope amid dark memories of post election violence in Kenya. We should define ethnicity succinctly from political arrogance of man-eat-man hyena hatred attitude.For those whose names have been given to the Hague office for having messed Kenya during the post election violence let us leave them carry their own heavy Crosses. No body is guilty unless proved guilty. If they are guilty legally and professionally then some may face life imprisonement but not death penality at the Hague Office.So you guys can see, why the ethnic tribes would prefer their chieftains to go to the Hague Affairs than the Local Tribunal Courts in Kenya.It reminds us of Hussein Trial in IRAQ.We should not fool ourselves the Local Tribunal Courts should be live and open to the Public to listen to and follow attentively until the VERDICT is given.The problem of Local Court Tribunal in Kenya will cost a lot of money unnecessarily during this economic recesional time. But will give death penalities, where appropriate.
The Post Election Tribal Upheavals of political ethnicity overlooking the Triangle of Rift Valley Highlands-Nyanza Basins -Kikuyu Highlands in Kenya is a testament to man’s inhumanity to his fellow man in post independent Kenya.
In my Kisumu City few metres from Kondele where I used to stay, thousands of innocent children black Africans, were made dead captives in their home country, or in Kibera, Mathare, Kawangware, Eldoret or were kept in conditions that make me shudder even to imagine. Is this TRIBALISM or HOLOCAUST of intelligent to be people from particular tribes!!.
They were cained, naked, hungry, bulleted and thrown into the mortuary in hot filthy conditions in Nairobi. This was a life of Tribal vips that would cart millions to a life of degradation and humiliation in African Continent. I fully agree with Koffi Annan report, Kreigler report and Wayaki Report that the sooner we deal with the culprits the better it is for a Kenyan NATION OF COHESION AND UNDERSTANDING OF MANKIND be it at the Tribunal Courts or Hague. These political hyenas should face the law and we should not shy away from the legal proceedings.
As for researchers like me, when things fall apart and you go down below to explore into the darkness of the post election mortuaries, those who came through here whispered stories to me in the silence – women clutching crying babies, groans of pain, and tears, yes, so many tears. Can we afford this tribal political arrogance again in the next General elections. NO.
If Our real SON President Obama snubs us KENYANS and goes to Ghana because of our tribal primitivity, naivity, corruption and lack of political will accountability of the donor funds.If I were him I would do the same.Just before President Obama was elected to the office of Authority he came to Kenya as SENATOR and echoed the same tune that we are tribalistic,corruptive,nepotistic and that we should change. Did we change instead we rediculed him in papers that as SENATOR he did not come to lecture President Kibaki. Let us take the political WILL and HOPE of Obama in his free sensible advice to KENYA.
Where is TRIBALISM taking us, Nowhere! The Laurate Noblist Wangari Mathai was demoralised in Uhuru Park, I saw this with my own eyes on that day.
I saw the faces of those dragged and whipped, kicking and screaming through the door of no-return into the belly of a police vans.These tribal police should also be vetted and taken to Hague.
That was tribalism in another dress. The usual happy Uhuru Park was a desolate, dark, miserable place of political ethnicity. In my career tenure experience as an environmentalist, when I was asked who should be the next Laurate from Africa at some UN Forum, which was full of Kenyans either choosing themselves or their kins in order of tribalism. I said ,No. We need a strong lady and that was our lady of the land.She worked hard for it.
I have been to the Mathare before the post elections it was full of coherent happy diversity of different tribes. What happened here? The novels of Okonkwo. Okot P’Biteki and Atieno Odhiambo can narrate more and it is always traumatic. The African man in a tribalistic hatred drama in politics will not treat Africa or KENYA BUT TRUTH AND RECONCILLIATION IN FORUMS OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE OF LEARNED OR NOT LEARANED should now be called to PEACE DEMOCRACY AND HUMANRIGHTS FORUMS to discuss how to live in HARMONY and love each other irrespective of TRIBE.
What has just gone wrong with Africa look at Liberia, where the Afro-Ameicans came to give settlement examples!What happened? They sychronised with the continental disease, or scourige that”I AM USED TO MY POVERTY”. They came rich into the continent from America but later declined to work harder and became poor.
In Kenya now unless we change OUR ATTITUDE and work hard with the already BOMA AGENDA DRAFT,use proper legal experts like Paul Muite, PLO Lumumba irrespective of their political affiliations we are going to be doomed for ever.But in noble person place of human shame there is light. Let us work hard and reap more when President Obama is still in POWER, or else.
Kenya is a great country not belonging to individuals but to organized, sensible, noble educated or ordinary people wanting to live in PEACE DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS within their borders with mature acumen of entrepreneurial abilities with Politics of LOVE and not DICTATORSHIP and arrogance.
Let us forge ahead with words of wisdom, excellent sense of communication skills, computers in our primary schools, network waterpipes for irrigation, there is money for it.Let us write viable projects. The Government should start using university teachers in rural investment programs and throw viable projects to donors for funding.We need green industries. “YES WE CAN”.Kenya has got the most learned parliamentarians in the World, you can not even compare with Britain!. But what to do they produce. Acake!!Too much noise, floated financial bills being pased through without proper diagnostics.
Let us not hate Annan because he took your political arrogants who messed the elections to Hague Office. No.No. Let us work with him to make Kenya move progressively in a postive way after all. The Giant African Agricultural Green Revolution
NGO HQS is based in Nairobi to help the Kenya citizens.This is the brand child of the former UN Secretary General. I think Koffi Annan should be given a lot of respect by us Kenyans.As for me Tribalism means nothing just look at the anthropological look of these guys – some of the Kikuyus are Luos and some LuOs are Kikuyus in reality by blood.No matter, what you do you will not separate love and sex? So love each other guys, we have a potential land, full of tropical rain farm together, eat together and play football together.
But before we do it we gave the SON of the Land a very noble Ministry of Land Settlement: Hon. Orengo in his capacity as a Constutional lawyer should help the Kenya Government to quicken the process before the next General elections with proper title deeds, those lands robbed out of the public be returned to them. It is the first time Kenya has got an eloquent noble sensible legal Minister for the latter ministry.As for Migingo Islands Museveni is not looking beyond his nose and should be told clearly in daylight the last resort logics of diplomacy is that of Nyerere and Amini Dada in those years of political gimmicks.
