Fellow Kenyan citizens, I read with horror about the amount of money that are going to be spent to sent back the Jamaican Cleric.
The amount is this; from the web.

Fellow citizens there is nowhere you can use all that amount of money to get a ticket to anywhere on this planet!
The above amount is the money that the Minister of immigration wants to steal and ROB the Kenyans.
Let Mr. Otieno Kajwang explain why there is necessity to go from Kenya to South Africa then Miami in Florida, then to Europe, Switzerland and then back to Jamaica!
Stealing and robbing Kenya with this contemptuous way is beyond description! There have never been money to cater for Kenyan citizen’s needs, yet there are 40 million to take sight seeing tour?
Mr. Kibaki, we know you are not caring or capable of doing anything for Kenya. Can you at least do one sane nice thing for Kenya? Issue an order to send this man to the border of Tanzania, and send him back there. He came from there right?
Alternatively, this cleric has done nothing against Kenya, leave him alone, and he would soon go when he is told to leave or when his Visa expires!
40 Million, to be spent in such a manner is horrible. At least if we were rich, we would not have bothered! But for heaven’s sake we can not afford it!
That amount are geared to going into the minister’s pockets, and the few officials at the department of immigration.
Kenya is in serious trouble, there is no preparedness for any kind of Emergency! Look at Haiti now! Are you happy the way they are hapless, even to get out and pick up a dead body on the street? How complex is that to do?
They, the Haitians are living under the yoke of black men, who took over from the French. They are living in a nightmare, in a manner of Kenyans. Their country is run, in a manner that Kenya is run and managed! Haiti, is like Kenya, and if we do not wake up, sorrow is yet to visit us!
465 Nigerians are dead right now in Jos, why? well it is exactly what Kenyan Officials are doing now, harassing the Citizens without any genuine reason! For years, the Nigerians have failed to care for their citizens and the nation is now reaping her fruits of those years of neglect!
Kenyans have been with Muslims for years, why are we now going over head mistreating them in 2010? Are they not still the same Kenyans as they were all those years past?
Americans are playing a different game, but the Kenya’s game is this; Can I put food on the table and buy clothes for my kids? Can I be able to save them from death when they get ill tomorrow? Where will I be next, after being rendered homeless, evicted from my home?
Will I be the next Police victim of execution?
This are the very important things that Kenyans want solved. They do not care about some remote cleric who is out talking in unreal, beneficial way to Kenyans. He can never convince any one with reasoning mind!
How would their talks help the poor and poverty stricken populace to solve their children’s issues. Things such as, lacking schools to attend this year. How would the 40 Million wasted on the Alien cleric solve Kenya’s problems?
How did this man end here in Kenya? And why can’t he go back the way he came into Kenya? Who issued him with the Visa to be in Kenya in the first place?
If 526,939.79 Dollars are spent, it will not be because we had to, it is because the Minister Otieno Kajwang has stolen it for personal use!
It is a fleezing and a true day light robbery!

Mr. or Dr. Ruttoh,
PLease have some sense or decora and universal reason as an informed individual academically! We must not just write or speak with a closed opinion on what we want others to know about our one sided thoughts.
I am not supporting the move, but if my memory serves me better abd soberly, Minister Kajwang’ said they are trying to negotiate with some friendly nations to allow transit to Jamaica, because we cannot afford a direct flight! Why?? Because getting one would mean a jumbo jet for a direct flight to Kingston, Jamaica!!
Since no country was willing to issue a passage, then to hire a direct flight just to carry such individual would be in an open sense, be very costly. Read, a jumbo jet is the only capable flight to go direct and the cost of hiring would be crazy. So that’s what I sensibly thought when Immigration Minister spoke of such a figure!!!!
Lets not use a fora such as this to ingredient our unavailable food of talks or comments. We must grow from the shallow valleys of pinning wrong and innocent souls for the sake of personal gains in slaughters and applauds.
I will not say more than this but we must rise from the murky souls of kidnapping truth and honesty.
All the best!!!
