come on guys... why are you loosing it..?

in as far as i am concerned,under the current leadership we deserve the sanctions,visa bans etc but our big brothers should be more realistic (waache domo)...

we are not interested in all the hullabaloos (just like this thread has demonstrated) but actions...

if US & the likes mean their intents why don't they wait for wako & co at the airports...!

When you run so fast to get somewhere,you miss the fun of getting there... Life is not a race,so take it slowly....

na hii serikali pia imejua mabo ya mundu-khu-mundu....

news would be dull without clowns like wetangula who are there to purely entertain us. in diplomatic circles,no one takes wetangula seriously. he's now become a lughing stock at home and abroad. of course wetangula doesn't believe a word that comes out of his own mouth,he's just being a sycophant to please his master the duly elected one,baba jimi. collective responsibility in govt doesn't mean collective suicide. bwana wetangula and co,please don't bite the hand that feed you! go on,i dare you to put the americans you intend to ban on notice! publish your list now... of course he's bluffing!

OnLy deaD FiSh gO WiTh tHe floW....!

We have a habit of personalising issues in this country. When will we take Wetangula's position to be the position of the Kenya's foreign affairs minister,however wrong he may be? Is it a coincidence that the american approach has the tacit support of elements in ODM while 'Wetangula's approach'' has the support of elements in PNU?

That said,I think the approach by the Kenya's foreign affairs minister is wrong.
1. Americans have a right to do whatever they want with their country,including banning fellows from setting foot in it. Our foreign affairs ministry should make that simple response.
2. Americans have a right to think they can influence reform by banning such characters. We should respect that as the SIZE of their thinking. You will be surprised how wrong they have been in their approach in many parts of the world.
3. Kenyans should not distract from the reform agenda by the personalisation of the process. You may thereby shame the Americans but do we really care if we fix our institutions?
4. Americans have a right to propagate their interests abroad including regime change. But we should jeolously guard our democracy with knowledge that americans did not invent it,nor are they the best examples of it. We should particularly be on guard against Kenyans who align their views with those of the Americans so much that you cannot tell the difference between their viewsand those of the US ambassador because whereas they may be right you may never know their interests and their power positions being so unequal may be a sign of their being their agents.
5. The americans have a right to chose their diplomatic methods,including megaphone or rooftop diplomacy. Our foreign affairs ministry has a duty to preserve our national dignity by not resulting to similar diplomacy. Some times there is a lot of wisdom in being silent.

It was all there in black and white.
In the Sunday Standard.
Amb Ranneberger saying they have records of Kenyan private phone calls.

It was scandalous when we used to hear of the Moi regime,
opening private mail and tapping phone lines.
But when a foreign country does it in our own soil,how does that work out??

Are they listening to my calls?
Listening to your calls?
We know they are recording your smses.
They are monitoring our e-mails.
They are monitoring stockskenya.com and other kenyan blogs.

Can Kenyans listen in into Obama and Robert Gates calls?
Now they deny visas to Kenyans who have not applied for them.
99.9% of Kenyans (or Africans for that matter) can never qualify for a US visa anyway,
So join the club!

The man he thinks he can,and the one who thinks he can't are both right. Which one are you?
