40 Kenyan Governors, Senators to Grace Diaspora Summit in Dallas, Texas
More than 40 Kenyan leaders are set to attend the upcoming Diaspora Summit in Dallas, Texas.
Organizers of the event said the leaders, who include Governors and Senators are already in the US, attending the National Governors Association meeting in New Mexico.
The conference, dubbed “A comprehensive dive into the Kenya Diaspora” is organized by
Kenya Diaspora Advisory Council of Texas and will take place from July 23rd.
Kenya Diaspora Advisory Council of Texas is a brainchild of former Kenyan Ambassador to the US Elkanah Odembo.
The event aims at creating a forum for Kenyans living and working in the US and Canada to exchange ideas on how to develop Kenyan counties.
The Diaspora will also use the opportunity to woo leaders to push for involvement of Kenyans abroad in elections back home.
“It’s all systems go and we are ready to host probably one of the biggest diaspora conferences in recent memory. A quick look at the list of those Kenyans living in the US who will be attending indicates that we will have representation from almost all the 50 states. We are very excited about this,” Benson Kioko Kasue, one of the organizers, told Daily Nation.
Governors Josephat Nanok (Turkana), Charity Ngilu (Kitui), Joyce Laboso (Bomet), Stephen Sang (Nandi), and Stanley Tarus of Trans Nzioa are some of leaders expected to address the event.
Kenya’s Ambassador to the US Robinson Njeru Githae will officially open the conference on Monday.

Ngilu and Wairia must tell the conference how they they always escape justice after "EATINGI" our money as if as they own it.Ngilu should start from shs 23m.AIDs cash she looted in 2003,overpriced shs 2b.scandals in borehole drilling in UKambani to torching a shs 14m.Kariuki's truck for passing charcoal in Kitui.
Only FOOLISHNES, Curiosity, and those with Vested Personal Interests will Attend these CORRUPT Governors' meetings. And by the Way: The only Develoment MAJORITY of these Governors can Bring is Corrupt "Development". Nothing else. Nada.
Development by Mutua-1K/M-1 minute tarmacing na bongolala Kenyans are very happy with FAKE TECHNOLOGY.Can you imangine investigating in Kitui for Ngilu to torch it with IMPUNITY?Do bongolala Kenyans know that these thugs are being paid $1000 allowance daily?DAWA BLOODY REVOLUTION TOWARDS THE ELITE,yaani ALL THESE LOOTERS MUST FACE THE FIRING SQUAD.
1. What are they doing to fight corruption for us to invest back home?
2. Bloated government and the need to streamline...
Are they using taxpayers money on this trip? The other day a governor went for a joyride in “Land of 10,000 Lakes” na hiyo ni maendeleo to bongolala
Waste of funds by governors. From Russia following an inflated leather and now to Dallas. These are political tourists, when do they ever stay settled and implement their development plans? How much are they spending on tickets, accommodation and allowances? All these could have been spent to pay down our debt, reduce hunger and give real dignity to those that they represent. God help Kenya!!!
Stupid priorities ,what are they coming to discuss with us and in the first place we never voted for anyone in the first place:I've never understand our fellow African they all like foreign trip in the name of looting, why don't this crazies ask themselves when did American politician go to AFRICA to do conferences, we African are curse
@Kiprono, Kenyans in diaspora should stop entertaining this nonsense. We know they are using counties money for joyride and staying in 5 stars hotels while people who voted for them cannot afford 3 meals per day. You do not need to come to USA to know how to dig a pit latrine for a local school or buy school desks
I cannot mix with those thieves.
Useless people. Nothing to be gained here except free vacations. Corrupt politicians. Work on the ever expanding disease called corruption before you pretend that you care. Horrible people.
Here come the crooks and diaspora wanabes looking for appointments from this governors.
This is Bullshiet. Laboso was here the other day at a medical equipment presentation and all she did was yawn, appear disinterested and chew gum. Most of these people come here: socially backward, functionally illiterate, and thoroughly uninterested. Waste of Tax-payer money and time.
Has anyone ever seen US governors (even 5) go to say Europe to "engage"?
Africans are irretrievably corrupt, liars and conmen.
I thought Laboso died a while ago.🤔🤔
OMG! At what cost? At whose cost? What happened to SKYPE and other telecons? Organizers of such wasteful tours are suspect too.
