Uhuru Will Not Meet with Kenyans Living in the US, for the Second Time in a Row

President Uhuru Kenyatta quietly left the country on Friday evening for the United States, where he will attend the 73rd session of United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

Kenya's ambassador to the US Robinson Njeru Githae said Kenyatta will not meet Kenyans living in America during the visit. This will be the second time in a row that the President has failed to meet the diaspora community.

Late last month, Uhuru did not meet with Kenyans during his three-day visit that had him meet US President Donald Trump at the White House in Washington, DC.

Ambassador Githae cited Kenyatta's busy schedule as the reason for not holding any meeting with Kenyans abroad.

“As far as I know, there are no such plans but the President will be attending so many meetings with heads of states and development partners while in New York,” Githae told Daily Nation on Saturday.

During this visit, ambassador Githae said, the President will seek to promote Kenya as an investment destination as well as the direct flights from Nairobi to New York set to be launched on October 28th.

The 73rd General Assembly formally opened on September 18th.

Nothing unusual. Like going to gichagi to attend a funeral or wedding or wedding and return to Nbi same day before seeing uncle's and aunts coz mama or child is sick.
Let UK do his job.

Drinking is not a job!
Alcoholism is not an achievement.
Stealing public funds, land grabbing and overtaxing Kenyans is not leadership.

He should stay away from diaspora Kenyans.

That loser should stay away from Kenyans.

Uhuru & his failing administration are afraid of facing the diaspora community much of which is greatly disappointed by the way he’s running the country. He’s been avoiding a lot of publicity lately and there could be other factors as well

We think it's time we get used by his administration just like a father working away comes home late at night after a very long period meets the children sleeping and have fun with a wife throughout the night and leaves very early in the morning just because he had a very long journey and time won't allow because of work.

Point

It's just because that father is shameless and irresponsible.point.if not why did he came at night and have fun only with mum????
Uhuru Kenyatta is just a mess if his administration don't find just 5 minutes for diaspora,and him self don't ask why? strange.

In Zambia the Chinese have taken over the Electricity company, the National Broadcasting Corporation and Zambia Breweries. They have also joined the police force and been promoted to senior ranks.

Zambia is officially the first African country to be colonized by the Chinese. Wonder what number Kenya will be.

But anyway, we said Kuumira Kuumira ta thuraku for Tano tena and we are ready for 10 Fresh with the hustler. The only question is will China officially take over during Kenyatta's or Ruto's error (Sorry, Era)

Not meeting Diaspora is big mistake it would not be doing them a favour. we are keeping the currency a bit stable by sending billions that we do . Uhuru most important job is to award losers parastatal positions to keep them out of the street. Uhuru is not a born leader he is President due to tribal division . He lets himself be influenced just like the bottle does .
