Have the chinese also declined Uhuru's visit? Page 6 nation.

Maybe kenyans can visit themselves now that we don't want to visit our neighbours.

Me thinks its sour grapes by us to decline to celebrate with TZ in their finest hour. If I were Jubilee, i would encourage all this symperthisers to attend the meeting for the benefit of Kenya.

It i silly to ignore the invite of someone like Obama, the tragedy of all this is Obama has no clue who Kirubi is, and if he wanted to meet Bob Collymore, a memo would be sent from Vodafone UK BOB.

Its important to note the uncle barry is coming with over 500 possible investors (Some of whom have pockets heavier than Kenya's GDP) who are looking for places to put their money. Chances are that some ATT or Sprint exec is on the trip, why would Bob feel compelled to take a flight to TZ to dine and perhaps encourage his potential competitor to come in and share the cake?

Bob who passes through US while going home. not even Kenyan. I guess the Obama business dinner will be a big flop.

Spot on! that's one thing people don't seem to understand, mambo ya Obama kujua Kirubi ni upuzi. Obama is not coming to Africa on holiday, its has already been said that trade and investment with Africa will be a major focus of his visit....i think he wants to get U.S. companies a foothold in African markets. They have been trailing behind China in African investment who recently overtook them as Africa’s largest trading partners.

So bwana Taz, as a manager your advise is to ignore (or more appropriately) hide from your competitors when they come to scout your home for potential business. I thought it would be of more help to meet them and size them up.

The naked truth is that Kirubi is snubbing the TZ visit out of childish emotional support to Jubilee. As I stated eralier, he could be of more help to them by attending and supporting TZ who still happen to be our EAC brother top trading partner and neighbour.
