Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga arrived in the United States of America on Saturday night to news of cancellation of a luncheon with US President Barack Obama which had earlier been scheduled for later this week.
The news followed a round of confusion over whether he would attend the luncheon, hosted by the White House for selected leaders from sub-Saharan Africa on the sidelines of the 64th Session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
New York-based Kenyan ambassador to the UN Zachary Muburi-Muita told the Nation on Saturday night that the State Department contacted him on Friday to “disinvite” Mr Odinga from the September 22 luncheon with President Obama in New York for African leaders.
The ambassador last Monday confirmed to the Nation that he had received an invitation letter for the PM to attend the luncheon. A dispatch to the Foreign Affairs ministry from Kenya’s Ambassador to Washington, Mr Peter Ogego, seen by the Nation confirmed the cancellation.
On Saturday, the Mr Muburi-Muita said State Department officials told him that the earlier invitation was sent accidentally; that the luncheon is actually only for African heads of State and not heads of government.
But at the White House Press briefing on Friday, US ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said the following: “The President will also host on the 22nd a lunch for heads of state and government from sub-Saharan Africa.”
Mr Muburi-Muita said the cancellation was disappointing and did not know why the invitation was issued in the first place, only to be rescinded. “This is something we expect from a third world country, not from the United States,” he said. Mr Odinga will participate in the Opening of the 64th Session of the UN General Assembly and General Debate.
The Prime Minister will make his addresses to the General Assembly on the afternoon of Friday as the 12th speaker. While in the US, the PM will address a number of gatherings and bilateral meetings on critical issues in Kenya.
He is also scheduled to hold discussions with various Heads of State and Government. On Saturday, the Nation learnt from other government sources quoting a dispatch from Kenya’s ambassador to the US Peter Ogego, that no arrangements had been made for Mr Odinga and President Obama to meet.
In Nairobi, neither Foreign Affairs minister Moses Wetang’ula nor his PS Mwangi Thuita returned our calls. President Obama, the son of a Kenyan father, has kept his distance from both President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Odinga as a signal of US displeasure with Kenya’s response to official corruption, ethnic violence and police abuses.
The American leader chose Ghana as his first official destination in Africa, and he did not invite Mr Odinga to a White House meeting when the Prime Minister visited the US in June.
Kenya has been left out of the list of 40-plus countries invited to the luncheon, and will be among nations the US is snubbing because of disputes over their governance or an antagonistic relationship with Washington. They include Eritrea, Guinea, Madagascar, Niger, Sudan and Zimbabwe.
“We are looking to have a dialogue with responsible leaders about the future of Africa’s economic and social development,” Susan Rice said on Monday in announcing the luncheon.
It has however been confirmed that Mr Odinga will attend a High-Level Meeting on Climate Change at the UN General Assembly and hold a number of bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the Assembly and another on Level Event on Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries.
Hold discussions
He will hold discussions with the Clinton Global Initiative, attend the Africa Investor Index Series Summit and be at the Head of State/Government Roundtable within the General Assembly. The PM will also hold discussions with the International Contact Group on Somalia to discuss the situation in the neighbouring country.
On Thursday, the PM will deliver a lecture at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Public Administration on his Vision on the Challenges of Democratic Transition and Transfer of Power in Africa. Mr Odinga is accompanied by Cabinet ministers John Michuki, Beth Mugo and Wycliffe Oparanya.
Is that any way to treat your cousin?
Here's then-U.S. Senator Obama shilling for a radical Marxist thug. Why the Stupid Party didn't bring this up in the election is beyond me.
So I guess there’s room under the bus for his cousin.
Didn’t Odinga have something to do with the murders of opposition in his country????
yes.
Maybe now the Kenyan govt will stop standing in the way of COLB researchers?
The Prime Minister is going to have lunch with Orly Taitz instead.
Unless his cousin changes his mind.
Odinga has strong support by Muslim fundamentalists, and made a bad habit of locking Christians in their churches and ethnic Indians in their stores, then burning them down.
lol
they can’t stop themselves
The Prime Minister is going to have lunch with Orly Taitz instead.
Unless his cousin changes his mind.
LOL......... good one.
Great.
You just had to give AG Holder new ideas for his thugs.
Well his brother does live in a hut. Obama says we are our brother’s keepers but he doesn’t do a thing for his own.
Remember the gorgeous “prostitute” on those Acorn tapes, the one with “the pimp”..? Where they’re trying to import the underage El Salvadorian girls?
Her “working name” was KENYA..! I’m serious..! Hilarious, huh? He says it clearly on the tapes like 5 times.
They chose that cuz it was catchy, but also knowing how funny it would be when it ALL CAME OUT..! ahhahaha!
Odinga's idea of "Democratic Transition" and "Transfer of Power" consists of sending guys like those below to burn, loot, and pillage, when you lose an election, and not recalling them until you at least get a new office created just for you and not mentioned in the Constitution. (Sort of like Czar, only even more powerful).
Nice guys too
The guy with the brick is identified as a Luo, same as Odinga and Obama Sr.
“Well his brother does live in a hut. Obama says we are our brother’s keepers but he doesn’t do a thing for his own.”
