Diaspora

Purity can still relax because there is something urgent. There are some Kenyans who have been pestering me to write about two issues but I am not sure whether their ideas are good and how Kenyans in Stockholm might take the comments. I will take up one of the key issues today. You have a very good Kenyan friend who respects you very much. She has two kids and the elderly child is having a birthday. As a buddy who is in her “white books” (you are almost topping the list), you are one of the first Kenyans and friends…

Some times back, I wrote about Masumbuko, a Kenyan national who has sought asylum in Sweden after fleeing from post election violence in Kenya. He is a daily consumer of KSB propaganda and although he would like to get in contact with Kenyans and introduce himself, he is afraid because he has been told that Kenyans in Stockholm ni wanyama and can spoil his case at the Immigration causing him to be deported to Kenya. Although he was at the Nyama choma that was organized by the Sound of Blackness at Fittja Beach on July 26th, he told KSB that…

When I laid dowm my "AK47" following fire at Ambassador Purity, I was at the point where she had abolished the new culture of an “all night Jamhuri bash” her predecessor, Ambassador Mukiri Kinyanjui, had introduced in Kenya-Stockholm. At first, Kinyanjui was demonized by a cross section of Kenyans because he was a “KANU Ambassador”, having been appointed by Moi. But later, Kinyanjui’s “smooth operator” streak placated fire-breathing opponents who had called for his recall on grounds that the Narc government needed a “Narc Ambassador” at the all strategic Kenyan Embassy in Stockholm. Just like Barack Obama, history was on…

Published on 14/08/2008 By Ayub Savula The Government will recall more than 100 employees in a shake up affecting all the 50 missions abroad, The Standard has established. The move will affect junior, middle-level and some senior staff in reforms that Foreign Affairs Minister Moses Wetangula and Permanent Secretary Thuita Mwangi say are aimed at cost cutting. At the senior level, those affected are accountants and Government executive officers posted to all foreign missions. On Wednesday, the PS told The Standard that the Government would save Sh15 million a year from each of the junior staff recalled home and Sh20…

It did not take long. Haya. A Kenyan lost a sister and called a harambee. If we go by the rules, this should have been a genuine case where nobody was supposed to say anything. What happened after more than 10,000 kr was raised? Maneno came out that the Kenyan’s sister never actually died but that the Kenyan had simply tricked Kenyans in order to raise funds to go for holiday in Kenya. The only “evidence” that was produced was talk that the Kenyan had travelled with his girlfriend to Kenya after the harambee to enjoy life. For some Kenyans…

"Conspiracy Theory" between Kenya Embassy and Swedish Authorities To Deport The Kenyan Open Up Amid Tomb-Like Silence By Top Embassy Cats About The Case The situation of a Kenyan who has been facing deportation to Kenya after his Swedish citizenship was stripped by authorities here continue to oscillate between deportation to Kenya and dumping in Tanzania under new and mysterious circumstances. Because the campaign to stop his deportation has entered a critical stage, the Kenyan has decided to go public with his plight and identity because he now believes that circumstances surrounding his deportation may be a conspiracy between the…

As the Kenyan was facing deportation, Daniel Kottut, the First Secretary, was reading old Newspapers at the Embassy, Jenifer Awuor, the "Assistant Ambassador", was drinking Ketepa tea while Her Excellency, Purity Muhindi, was "On tour in Germany" on Tax payer's money. A Kenyan national who was stripped of his Swedish citizenship by the Swedish authorities escaped deportation that was scheduled for Thursday 19th June at 4.am through Arlanda International Airport. A combination of pressure and personal resistance by the Kenyan worked to compel the Swedish authorities into stopping the deportation. The case touched on fundamental legal issues related to family…

Goodday, During our meeting and discussions on saturday at Linda's place, while the article on Clay's blog was brought up by you and Tonny Odera I dont remember authorizing anyone to retaliate on my behalf!   I request that you dont publish stuff about me (and with both my names) unless consent is given.  There was a joke attatched to Clay's article unlike yours that is purely confrontational and for your info....as much as I was surprised by the article and the subsequent calls and messages, I did buy into the joke.  If at all he was ill-meaning in anyway…
