'It was Useless to Me': Uhuru's Canadian-Born Ambassadorial Nominee Speaks on Renouncing Canadian Citizenship

Me ain't renouncing anything.

Miss Canadian, tell them that your Canadian citizen became useless when the carrot for the Kenyan-Japan Ambassadorial job came dangling down. You don't drag your motherland country down the mud like that poor Lady. Good like getting that useless ambassador job.

Irina might have been advised by three elite thugs-Njeru Githae,Mumbi Kusoto and Wasike Wetangula of good returns in Kenya.The two told her how she can easily loot billions,starting with land grabbing and sale of ID's.Mumbi also told her about plenty of PENIS which if generous will make her a billionaire in less than a year which is not possible in the law enforced Western country.

If we make Laws, everyone should follow them. We should not have exceptions, which is what Mwende Mwinzi is trying to do. If Mwinzi is allowed to by-pass the law, what stops others from doing the same? And what is the purpose of Law itself, if it does not apply to everyone? Congrats Tabu Irina, for respecting Kenya and its Laws.

Mwende Mwinzi refused to renounce her citizenship.

Why are people renouncing theirs??

Just FYI;
Renouncing is a legal process.

Settled Nomad, you need to understand that the constitution discriminates against dual citizens. They are allowed to vote, but they cannot be state officers or civil servants. Mwende Mwinzi is the poster girl against this discrimination. The same way my old friend, Dr Miguna Miguna is the poster boy of citizenship law.

By the way, most Countries, including the US, do not allow dual citizenship. The 1963 Kenyan Constitution also did not allow it. It only came with the 2010 Constitution. Before, you were either a Kenyan, Canadian, or American. Not both. You were not even allowed to vote, leave alone have a Kenyan passport. Mark you citizenship, whether by birth or registration, refers to the Country whose Constitution you are loyal to. It is not about the physical act of where you were born, as activist and ignorant Judges in Kenya seem to think. The rationale behind barring people with dual citizenship from serving as State Officers, or in the Military, is not about discrimination, but the relevance of the Oath of Office which they have to take, before taking up their duties. They have to swear allegiance to the Republic of Kenya, and its Constitution. When Miguna became a Canadian, he had to attend a ceremony, in which he renounced his Kenyan Citizenship, and swore allegiance to the Canadian Constitution. If Mwinzi does not renounce her American citizenship, yet the American Constitution says that unless she does so, her first duty and allegiance is to America, who will she be serving, as the Kenyan Ambassador to South Korea? Kenya or America?

Settled Nomad, the US constitution is silent on dual citizenship. It neither allows nor disallows. The onus is on Congress to enact legislation to that effect. But it hasn't so far. Why they argue that US does not allow is because you attend a ceremony and disown the previous country and the certificate of naturalization is written to that effect. But then the other country does not recognize such declarations. But some who was born of both citizenships like Obama, if he applied for Kenyan ID, passport, he would be a dual citizen without infringing any law. When I pass through Detroit, Dulles airport with my both passports, ICE officials just grin. They can't say anything. Congress is mum, too.

I read somewhere that Edward Snowden has applied for dual US-Russia citizenship. He is over 18.When an adult US citizen applies for another citizenship, the US embassy in the respective country calls him/her and asks whether the application was intended to renounce US citizenship. If the applicant says "no", they consular officials stop there. He becomes a dual citizen, courtesy of the silent US Congress
