Habari nzuri sana. Ningependa kumwona balozi wetu mpya wa Kenya hapa Marekani akifanya kazi kama ipasavyo.
Kwanza, ningependa awaambie wafanyi kazi wote wajibu simu ofisini. Unapowaachia ujumbe (message) , kwenye kinasa sauti (voice mail), ni muhimu wapige simu mahali ilipotoka. Hili ni tatizo kubwa sana Washington, DC.

To put it in perspective for you: passport $120 or $170 ID $50 plus plane tickets and possibly a hotel room because embassy and consulate hours are short, variable and a little unpredictable- don't even try to call. Where is the service?

Mimi ninalipa kodi ya US. Je, unataka nilipe pia kodi ya Kenya? Ndugu Matiang'i alipandisha bei ya pasipoti kwa Mkenya anayeishi Marekani. Je, huu ni ungwana?
Huduma (services) ni muhimu sana katika maisha ya kila mtu kama unataka kitu fulani. Nimezoea (I am used to) kupata huduma bila kutoa hongo. Nimeishi Marekeni kwa miaka mingi na mpaka sasa, sijatoa hata senti moja kupata huduma yoyote.

HEBU TAZAMENI KWA MAKINI:
Kwa vile Kenya ina mataifa madogo (micronations - a word coined by our late hero Wangari Maathai) zaidi ya arobaini (40), ni muhimu watu wanapochaguliwa kwenye huduma (services) za taifa zima la Kenya, wasichaguliwe zaidi ya mtu mmoja kutoka kwenye mataifa haya.
Ni muhimu watu wote katika nchi ya Kenya kujisikia na kujifikiria kuwa ni WAKENYA HALISI. Ukitazama kwa makini (carefully) orodha ya watu waliochaguliwa, utaona ya kwamba kuna taifa moja dogo ambalo lina watu zaidi ya mmoja kwenye orodha (list) hii ya mabalozi wa Kenya.
Hata baada ya uchaguzi, ni muhimu mawaziri nao wasichaguliwe zaidi ya waziri mmoja kutoka kwenye mataifa madogo ya Kenya. Orodha ya sasa ya mawaziri, yatisha sana. Ukiona majina ya watu waliochaguliwa kwenye uwaziri, utafikiri nchi ya Kenya ina mataifa madogo MAWILI tu. Hili ni kosa kubwa sana kwa sababu wafuasi wa ODM, NASA, na pia JUBILEE, walikuwa kila pembe ya nchi ya Kenya.

I know It is hard at this time to know how the new ambassador will run the diaspora affairs. But for Githae,....Bye Felisha!
He tried to bring corruption on board majuu.
