British Prime Minister Speaks of His Kenyan Roots
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has applauded collaboration amongst commonwealth nations for helping him rise to the apex political office.
Sunak issued a speech on the eve of King Charles III coronation slated for Saturday. The coronation will take place at Westminister Abbey in London. According to Charle's earlier pronouncements, the ceremony will be shorter than his mother's with a possible guest of not more than 2800.
Justin Portal Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, will conduct the prestigious ceremony. The archbishop will enthrone the King by placing a crown on his head, allowing him to secure the throne. Following closely will be Camila's anointment.
Sunak, 43, revealed his family heritage, saying that his father Yavshir Sunak was born in Kenya and his mother Usha Sunak was born in Tanzania. He hailed Nairobi for imparting valuable lessons to his grandfather Ramdas who moved to Kenya before the country gained her independence.
“I trace my own family heritage through India, Kenya and Tanzania, and I know the experience gained by my grandfather Ramdas in Nairobi is something that shaped his life and my family for generations,” he said
The Prime Minister commended the people-to-people connection for the strong ties between UK and Kenya. Sunak further mentioned that he is elated by the continued prospect between UK and commonwealth countries.

African leaders have a lot to learn from the current Prime Minister of the U.K. Why? Although Rishi Sunak was born in the UK and a father born in Kenya, he did not forget about his Indian heritage or feel ashamed of it.. What's the evidence?
1. He still has names from his Indian heritage.
2. He is fluent in his Indian language of ancestry in addition to his current fluency in the English language.
3. He still belongs to his ancestral religion "Sanatana Dharma" (Hindu) which he is still a loyal follower.
4. He still observes his cultural roots from India.
Compare the above qualities with the current leaders from COHO (Continent of Human Origins a.k.a. Africa), our current leaders from COHO are ashamed of anything COHOAN.
It's time in Kenya that we get rid of the Roman/Jewish/Arabic based religions. It's time to be proud of our COHOAN names of ancestry. Finally, its time that Swahili language is used in all public meetings including our parliament. Kipchirchir Ruto: Why are you ashamed of your continental ancestry? Its time that you got rid of your current colonial/slave name and religion. You are a very bad example to the youth of Kenya. It's time to adjust or get out of our State House. Follow the example of the current Prime Minister of the U.K. Mr. Rishi Sunak. He unlike you, is not ashamed of his ancestry.
Majina yako,Imara Suluhisho ni sawa lakini kwanini usiandike kwa lugha ya Babako/Mamako ama Gikuyu na watu wa kutafusili ni wengi?
To lead Uk and USA you must have Kenya roots. That's an achievement over many nations of the world. I predict a second US president with Kenya roots thru the republican parte
