Another Peace Prize Winner from Kenya in 5 Years!
It has just been announced that President Barack Obama has won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. This
Kenya is a great country
brings to two the number of Kenyans who have won the prize in the last five years, a feat that has never been achieved by any country in the world. According to the Nobel Peace Committee, Obama was awarded the prize because he is the only one “providing hope for a better world”. We are in a situation where the whole world is banking on a Kenyan to provide hope for a world in crisis. Why can’t we throw a Champaign tonight at “Little Nairobi” we have created in the middle of Stockholm?
In 2004, Professor Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan, stunned the world when she won the prize. With the Obama award, Kenya is once again on the map and all Kenyans across the globe, together with their African brothers and sisters have another reason to celebrate. By winning the Peace prize, Obama has shown that Kenyans are great people who are capable of achieving big stuff. Our sons and daughters are making huge contributions in making Africa even greater. For a country to produce the President of the United States of America and then proceed to win yet another Nobel Peace Prize in less than a year is really great – Hallelujah!
At the Continental level, Africans should feel very proud while at the International level, there is cause to argue that Africa needs a Permanent seat in UN Security Council especially after producing the United States President and two Nobel Peace Prize winners in five years.
As Kenyans, we are also excelling in other areas. Our country was the first to set an example of how a Presidential candidate could steal an election then negotiate with the real winner who accepted to become Prime Minister. In fact, we are the only country in the world with “two governments” living peacefully side by side – ODM and PNU. To underline the level of democracy in this one-country two-governments situation, both ODM and PNU have 20 Cabinet Ministers each and the head of each government is the one who appointed the Ministers. Has someone ever checked whether our country is holding the record on the number of Cabinet Ministers globally?
Our example was followed by Zimbabwe where everybody knows what happened and now, there is peace in Zimbabwe. We are showing the way to election rigging followed by peace-making to be followed by a bloated Cabinet and it is working because the people are peaceful even if some of them are starving to death! If elections were to be rigged in Sweden they might have to turn to Kenya for help.
Taking our leaders to The Hague
Recently, we made history by having our country represented at the UN General Assembly by the Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, although the PM is not Head of government. All other representatives at the UN were Heads of States. This was a precedent-setting and historic moment. We are great! Our PM then proceeded to surprise the whole world when he managed to meet President Barack Obama while Gordon Brown, British PM, was turned away because Obama had no time. Kudos!
The picture of Obama and Raila were splashed in Kenya national media to underline the national importance of the meeting while Raila sent greetings to Americans from Obama during his Havard speech to ensure that they knew that he met their President while Gordon Brown was blocked. Technically, we can argue that Raila became much more important and powerful than Gordon Brown for how did he beat PM Brown on this?
We are now planning to take our own politicians to the Hague to face justice for post election violence in order to end impunity. Ocampo may have arrived in the country by now to discuss how they can be picked up one by one, chained and bundled into air crafts destined for The Hage to face justice. Our country is really great! Which other country could achieve such a feat? This will make us the first country to do so because in other cases, perpetrators of genocide and crimes against humanity have had to be arrested while in hiding. Some of our perpetrators are sitting Cabinet Ministers and they are expected to be picked up from Parliament direct to the The Hague. Who says Kenya cannot be reckoned with globally?
There is a twist to “The Hague front” that also makes us very unique. As we prepare for the Kenya-Hague trials, our government is reportedly hiding Kabuga, a Rwandan Genocide suspect who has been on the run for more than fifteen years and who is suspected of being responsible for the massacre of about a million Rwandese. While we have accepted to take our criminals to the Hague, we hide others who have committed even more serious crimes against humanity.
We are a lucky country because even though Kabuga may be in Kenya, America cannot bomb us Iraq-style because our son is the President of the United States. We could even house Osama Bin Laden but nothing will happen to us because Obama cannot bomb his own grandmother, blood brothers, cousins and millions of relatives because every Kenyan is Obama’s relative. Let us honestly give ourselves big claps wherever we are and reading this post!

Venue for Meeting with Kenyans Changed
Kenyans addressing a meeting in Stockholm
The Venue for the informal meeting with Kenyans who are currently on a visit to Sweden has been changed from Alice Chapel to Lilla Wien (Lilla Nairobi) at Swedenborgsgatan 20. The venue was changed at the end of a speaking engagement by the four Kenyans yesterday at ABF in Stockholm. Vumbi Dekula Band will be playing at Lilla Wien and the general agreement after the meeting was that it was better to meet the Kenyans there where a more Kenyan/African oriented entertainment will be on display.
