US Presidential Delegation to Attend Ruto’s Swearing-in Ceremony

US President Biden has announced that a presidential delegation will attend President-elect William Ruto’s inauguration ceremony in Nairobi on Tuesday.

In a statement, the White House said the five-member presidential delegation will be led by United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai.

Other members are U.S Ambassador to Kenya Margret Whitman, U.S. representative from Texas Colin Allred, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of African Affairs Mary Catherine Phee, and Assistant Administrator for the Bureau for Africa, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Monde Muyangwa.

Last week, Biden congratulated Ruto after the Supreme Court validated his victory in the August 9th presidential election.

Through the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden also lauded the people of Kenya for maintaining peace throughout the electioneering period.

“We congratulate William Ruto on his election as President of Kenya. We also congratulate the people of Kenya on the conclusion of a peaceful electoral process,” Jean-Pierre said during a media briefing at the White House.

Biden reiterated his administration’s commitment to strengthening the long-standing partnership between the US and Kenya “based on a commitment to democracy, security and economic prosperity.”

Ruto, who won the election after garnering 7,176,141 votes (50.49 percent of the total votes cast), will be sworn in on Tuesday alongside Deputy President-elect Rigathi Gachagua.

At least 20 African heads of state and governments and some 2,500 VIPs are expected to attend the swearing-in ceremony at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, according to Interior PS Karanja Kibicho.

Mtu yeyote asiye na kichaa anaweza kuwa rais wa Kenya. Rais wa Kenya anayejali maisha ya WaKenya wote, atahakikisha ya kwamba, kazi kubwa zimegawanywa ili taifa moja (micro nation) lisiwe na zaidi ya waziri mmoja. Pia, atahakikishwa yafuatayo:

1. Hakuna mtumishi wa serikali yeyote atakayeruhusiwa kuiba hata senti moja ya mali ya umma.
2. Hakuna mtumishi yeyote atakayeruhusiwa kupokea hongo/rushwa anapowahudumia wananchi.
3. Rais wa nchi atahakikisha ya kwamba kuna usalama kwa kila raia na hasa wanawake mahali popote kwenye Jamhuri 24/7
4. Mwanamume yeyote atakayemfanya mimba msichana na huku ana mke na watoto na yeye ni mtumishi wa serikali, ataondolewa kazini mara moja,
5. Mwanamume au mwanamke yeyote ambaye anaweza kuwa baba au mama kwa umri, hataruhusiwa kuolewa au kumwoa mtu yeyote ambaye kwa umri anaweza kuwa baba/mama ya bwana au bibi arusi.
6. Mabilionea na mamilionea wa Kenya watumie pesa zao kuanzisha viwanda au makampuni yanayoweza kutoa ajira kwa vijana wengi ambao hawana njia ya kuishi.
7. Picha ya rais wa Kenya itundikwe mahali popote palipo na shughuli za serikali lakini isitundikwe madukani, migahawani, chooni, msituni au kwenye majumba ya kulala.
8. Watu wasizaane ovyo iwapo hawana njia ya kumlinda mtoto wanayemzaa hata kama wameoana. Kwa sababu ya tekenolojia mpya, si lazima watu wazaane ovyo ili watoto wawe wafanyi kazi.
9. Mtu yeyote anayesema uongo na kuhatarisha maisha ya wengine yafaa aadhibiwe vibaya.
10, Viongozi wa serikali wasichukue nafasi waliyo nayo kueneza imani yao mahali popote. Kama Marehemu Mwana wa Yusufu na Mariamu alivyosema Matayo 6: 6-8, ukitaka kuomba, nenda chumbani mwako halafu ufunge mlango na kusali peke yako. Imani ya mtu isisukumiwe watu ambao wameshajikomboa kutoka kwenye minyororo ya dini bandia za kigeni.
11. Kiongozi yeyote wa serikali hatachukua nafasi ya kazi kujitajirisha na kununua mashamba mengi na huku kuna watu ambao hawana hata milimita yoyote amnbayo wanaweza kupanda hata haragwe moja.
12. Mafundisho ya dini za kigeni yapigwe marufuku shuleni na kuanza kufundisha somo linaloitwa "Critical Thinking Skills" ili watu waamke na kuanza kutumia akili waliyopewa na MWUMBAJI MKUU.
13. Shule zote zilitilie mkazo mafundisho ya MELTAS (Mathematics, Engineering, Languages, Technology, Agriculture, Sciences) ili tuweze kujitegemea na kujilisha na kutengeneza vifaa vya teknolojia vitakavyotuweza kusimama imara kama nchi ya India, Japani, Uchina, Korea zilivyofanya.
14. Ni lazima usafi uwe kila mahali nchini. Usafi utapunguza maradhi mengi yanayoenezwa kutokana na uchafu.
15. Kwa sababu ya uviko (COVID_19) salamu za mikono au kukumbatiana zipigwe marufuku nchini kote.
16. Magari ya umma yasiruhusiwe kwenda zaidi ya kilomita 100 kwa saa. Pia, magari yasiyofaa yaondolewe barabarani.
17. Mitego ya kuwanasa wanaoendesha magari kwa mwendo wa kasi ya kiteknolojia iwekwe mahali pembeni ili iwanase wanaoendesha magari kwa mwendo wa kuhatarisha maisha ya umma.
18. Hayati kiongozi wa nchi Tanznaia wa kwanza Ndugu Borito Kambarage Nyerere alisema, "It can be done, play your part."
19. Ningependa kuona sifa ya Kenya duniani kote si kwa wizi na unyanganyi wa mali ya umma, bali kwa wema, fadhial, heshima inayoweza kupatikana kwa kila MKenya.
20. Wananchi: tufanye kazi pamoja kwa bidii ili tupite nchi ya Rwanda kwa kila kitu kizuri wanachofanya.

The delegation to reinforce the dollar and weakens the shilling further to Kshs 150 to a dollar is their underline agenda at heart and principal...since they already spot a corrupt will be president is a huge opportunity Americans will never scot it free. Check it out up and I count "the White House said the five-member presidential delegation will be led by United States Trade Representative" once the country got weaken enough then the CIA will take over using their tactful missions and etc
