KENYAN RULE: LETTER TO BARACK OBAMA

The upcoming African tour provided a perfect opportunity for you Visit your Father land [Kenya] for the first time since you became the 44th President of the USA. But as it was obviously expected, you snubbed our beautiful country. We the Kenyan people have no problem with your decision because we strongly believe that “A country is greater than an individual”. It would be morally far more satisfying if you became aware of the following facts:
The past few months have been filled with tumultuous events—your re-election for a second term as the US president, take-over of Kismayu by the Kenyan Defence Forces and the historic Kenya’s general election under the new constitution. But the most amazing event is Johnny Carson’s declaration that “Choices have got consequences”. We made our choices but biased American Foreign policy has made you half-heartedly accept the will of the Kenyan people during the last general election. We now realize the consequences. But, do we care?
Ignoring Kenya and visiting Tanzania brings out a new angle in the ICC issue. It was a deliberate strategy to tell Kenyans how you cannot engage with ICC indictees. But the question is, Is the USA a Signatory of the Rome Statute? It is the high time America shifts from its ideological conviction of 21st century neo-colonialism to realpolitik.
We as Kenyans are obsessed with domestic affairs. Eradication of poverty, reduction of unemployment, improvement of infrastructure and health care system are the many issues that we prioritize as a nation. We are also cultivating the spirit on Pan—Africanism that will help us solve our problems without the over-reliance of the west.
Discovery of oil in Kenya creates a game-changer in the geopolitics of energy. Unlike what we witnessed during the Arab spring, let the fortunes benefit Kenyans but not create an opportunity for Foreign countries to create conflicts in an attempt to seize the vast resources.
As it is widely known “Democracy is government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.”
America’s incoherent rambling about the ICC issue only proves your complete disconnect from Kenya's actual political issues.
