Speaking to KSB, Mr. Munene said that be believes that “Kenyatta day” should be recognized as “Heroes day” in honour of all Kenyans who participated in the anti-colonial struggle in our country. He said that unlike last year, it was a mistake that the Kenyan Embassy in Stockholm had failed to organize an event for Kenyans in Stockholm on this important day although he added that he…

It is official. There will be no Kenyatta day bash this year and there is nothing Kenyans in Stockholm can do about it because H.E Mrs Purity Muhindi and her deputy, Jenipher Awuor made a decision long time ago that this year’s Kenyatta day bash will be off the menu. KSB has established that the official reason for this move is because “there are no funds” allocated for Kenyatta day but a source close to the Embassy reported that the main motivation is because Kenyans had boycotted this year’s Madaraka day that was held at the residence of Ambassador Purity.…

The “Kenyan afternoon” came and went. It was attended by over 60 people, majority of them non Kenyans. When I arrived, the place was already packed although I was the only Kenyan guest. At one point, I felt like a gate crasher until I spotted Tonny and Caroline. The food was sweet, cheap and Kenyan with Ugali and Mboga topping the menu. It looks like members of Kenya-Stockholm community are in deep sleep on matters of culture and now, the Swedes have taken over to show them how it’s done. Chapatis, rice and dengu were present in plenty and what…

If one is gender biased or a practicing male chauvinist, one could easily blame the silence of the Kenyan Embassy over this year’s Kenyatta day bash to “female cowardice” by the feminine-inclined leadership at the Embassy pitting  Ambassador Purity Muhindi on the one hand and her Deputy, Jenipher Awuor on the other. However, intelligence filtering from the Embassy tells a totally different story. According to a source, money for this year’s Kenyatta day has been scarce because it was either not allocated in the budget or diverted. In other words, the Embassy might not be in a position to throw…

Kenyans in Stockholm have been making enquiries at KSB as to where Kenyatta day will be celebrated this year. Unfortunately, the Ambassador was in a meeting (out of Office) while Jenipher Awuor, her Deputy, was also attending another meeting (out of Office). Daniel Kotutt, whom, KSB was told, is in charge of the event was also out of Office. It could not b established whether he too was in a meeting or whether he had gone out in the streets kurandaranda. So far, nothing has been posted at the Embassy website which has been dead for some time without a single…
