Subject: Vs: Kenya AG to sue US over travel ban

Folks,

We now have a proof that Kenya is being ruled by low brain thinking, selfish hooligans. Is this the Wako somebody wrote about in daily nation how brilliant he is, with a lot of degrees, the Alliance product?. Now you see by your own eyes and hear by your own ears what type of education these guys have. I did read the same note in the BBC about Kenyan AG to sue US over travel ban. Wako is joking, how many cases in Kenya had he solved?. Who promised him that his case against US visa ban will be now solved?. It is good that he Mr. Wako has a confidence on the US judicial system. Of course he has a right as a human being to sue, BUT LET HIM USE HIS OWN MONEY NOT THE TAX PAYERS MONEY. Kenyan-tax payers have been robbed enough under his tenure enough.

Folks,

Wako needs a shove out of the Judiciary Office. His head is buried on the sand. He has no idea whats going on around him and did not adhere but totally forgotten his commitment to public service deliberations according to his job specification for duty.

Although he witnessed the signing Agreement of the two Principles on the Reform Accord Requirements which brought the Coalition into existance, he failed to adhere and to perform within his jurisdiction to be seen to excercise those principles to provide an enabling environment on his part (in many ways) for the Reform Accord to gain roots or take effect on the legal corridors. Instead he has been seen to behave in a suspecious manner construed to be a stumbling block to reform by such means of providing loopholes and leeways to facility support working against Reform take-off or success. In my opinion, Wako is of no valuable substance to Kenya as a whole, but a burden we cannot afford to carry. Anglo Leasing bla bla bla does not make sense to Wako. What will?

Wako should be shown the door before the Judiciary can gain some trust by the public.

I believe Wako has been working for his stomach and private interest rather than for the public. He needs reform himself before reform can be allowed entry into the Judicial system of Kenyan. Wako is Judicary retarded, he cannot perform. He should be shown the door people!………..

Thanks,

What has Wako accomplished as AG ?, Nothing, completely nothing of a tangible nature. All he does is smile and do shyt.

These folks are wealthy and stable, they will not get hurt by a VISA ban. It’s the common man, who suffers due to these sanctions. I think his response is so arrogant and non-chalant.

Mr Wako says he will take the fight to the US.

Kenya’s Attorney General Amos Wako has signalled his intention to sue the United States for defamation. Mr Wako said that he had “received notification that my visa has been revoked for blocking reforms,” more than a week after the US Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Jonnie Carson said his country had banned a senior Kenya Government official for blocking reforms.

Mr Carson, however, withheld the name of the banned official only saying he was of “influence” and his duties required extensive travel.

Addressing a news conference at his Sheria House office on Wednesday, Mr Wako said the ban due to “engaging in corrupt actions that have adversely affected the interests of the US,” were off the mark and amounted to defaming him.

The AG said that he will seek legal redress in the US adding: “I will take the fight there.” “While I am totally indifferent to the revocation of my visa and have absolutely no desire to visit the US, my intention is to seek legal action with a view to institute legal proceedings in the US,” said Mr Wako.

He added that he has always kept the fire of reforms burning within government adding that he was an “adviser and not a decision maker.”

Speculation had been rife that Mr Wako was the latest US target, after Mr Carson’s announcement coming on the back on US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Kenya visit, where she impressed on the Kenya leadership to push for reforms.

She is understood to have said told Kenya’s principals- President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga- that changes were required in the police, judiciary and the State Law Office.

Former Police Commissioner Major General Hussein Ali has since been transferred to the post office while Chief Justice Evans Gicheru remains in office.

“For 15 years, grand corruption has reigned such as Anglo Leasing but not one top officer has been found guilty. Millions of dollars that could have been used to build schools have disappeared and the Attorney-General and the Judiciary are responsible,” Mr Carson said at the time.

At the time, Foreign minister Moses Wetangula dismissed the US action as “megaphone diplomacy.”

Mr Wako has served for a record 18 years since he was appointed AG by former President Moi in 1991. He has been widely criticised for failing to prosecute corruption cases during his tenure.

The infamous Goldenberg and Anglo Leasing scandals, where the government lost billions of taxpayers’ money, occurred during his watch. The cases have never been successfully prosecuted.

Only recently, he entered nolle prosequi (terminate a case) in a case involving outlawed Mungiki sect leader Maina Njenga.

Hon Wako, nobody really cares whether you intend to visit the US in your private capacity or not!Kenyans are only disgusted that the country’s Attorney General cannot conduct official business in the US.Remember,we need the US just like they also need us.

Hon. Wako knows that fighting this may expose him even more. Would it help justify his actions as AG and his reputation as a ‘chameleon-like’ AG? Perhaps he wants to swim in,and even sink deeper into, the quagmire of the messes afflicting Kenya due to his indecisiveness and, perhaps, ineptitude!

Wako makes himself a bigger fool than I thought he was. If somebody bans you from visiting his home, do you sue him? Carry your own cross Wako, you allowed Moi and Kibaki to use you to cover their corrupt deals and now you are on your own. I watched you defending yourself with number of taskforces you have set up. We want action not mere talk or task forces. Goldenberg and Anglo Leasing scandals happened under your watch and you did nothing! Wako okayed Anglo Leasing and he was trying to fool us on TV!
