Wakenya na ukabila, guys hate even more... this good to see our animosity for each other is still there. A house that is divided will not stand.

Its called diplomacy!

Even Gaddafi has attended UN meetings.

The president is going to the UN not to the US. But then, some people have no idea what the difference is.

Uhuru is coming to do his work, those who are nyenyenye here, pls shut up.

Obama will be looking for His Excellency Uhuru all over New York to get a contract to renovate JKIA.

My fellow citizens let us not bring our personal hatreds or likings to this argument. US is simply following their law. It is not a question of Obama or who? It is all about justice for all. There are no two ways about it. During the 2007/2008 violence in Kenya Obama was not the US president, the Republicans were in Power, George W Bush was the president then. Those who peddle lies that Obama is the force behind their ICC cases may get much disappointed when Obama leaves office. I bet if the Republicans get power after Obama and the Kenyan ICC cases are still on, we will know that republicans are republicans. They are swift into action when a decision is already made. Democrats are usually democratic in their decisions and actions, a little bit hesitant in taking action. Apartheid in south Africa was brought to an abrupt end by republicans who put an intense pressure on the then president, Declark . Attack on Iraq and Afghanistan, were initiated by the Republicans. What about the collapse of former Soviet Union, was it not Republicans who were in power? Whatever US is doing has got no bearing on the Individual president, but rather policy and laws of that Country.

The salient point here is that Uhuru will be going to attend a UN session in the United States of America, a country Kenya has over decades shared very cordial relationship, a country whose president, we like it or not has direct Kenyan heritage (actually if Obama jets into Kenya tomorrow, he can pick his Kenyan passport just like any other Kenyan) and he's not been invited by the White House. Kenya has over the years been viewed and respected as the star in Africa. Most progressive nations looked for an opportunity to rub shoulders with Kenya, so why are we not sad that we have been relegated into a pariah state by our erstwhile partners? And just to clean the misconception about Obama: he's not a failed president and USA is not a failing economy. The view that he's a failed president is a GOP hate campaign fueled by the fact that he's black. USA is the only country that has pulled out of the international economic recession and has recorded reasonable positive growth.

Justice to PEV's.

Who is advising Mr President on foreign relations matters? The US is not against Kenya in anyway and neither is the US President. These kind of BS these Muppets around the President lead him to believe that ICC was just a small fly and it will eventually go away instead handling these matters in our soil. Now guess what..its a big thorn in our flesh and a wrong PR for the President.
The East you see today whether China Indian etc..,actually respect the US and doesn't show arrogance and disrespect with matters of foreign policy. They say " all politics are local" play your little politics at home but not overseas putting Kenyan's image at risk. We're not a "mtura" Republic.

The only 'being' above the law is GOD! The meek shall inherit Kenya.

We talk about Uhuru as if h e had a divine right to become a president. WANANCHI ARE FOrGETTING THAT HE WAS IMPLEMENTING MASS MURDER IN 2007 ELECTIONS.Send him to trial.H
He should not be in office with that hanging around hisnneck....but africans can' t see its a problem...Why is that?

The only 'being' above the law is GOD.....the meek shall inherit Kenya!!

We also need calcification from the good Ambassador whether Ruto's tour of the Netherlands for three weeks will be a state visit or a personal visit.

Kaaboom! And so long as the ICC tag is still hanging around his neck, he will never be invited to the US. Not every country is stupid.

Poor Uhuru... dishing out titles at the coast, visiting the Chinese and getting loans still finds it hard to endear to lots of people here.... Chap has to work harder. Much harder to win the hearts and minds of majority of Kenyan people

It is sad to read comments of Kenyans desperately trying to ignore the fact that Uhuru is the President of Kenya, whether we like it or not - insults and damning wishes won't change that simple fact, insulting your fellow commentators won't change that fact. Hold your peace and wait for the day he is NOT president anymore, then and only then can you celebrate

Who is celebrating? Even Assad is the head of a state.

UN and US are two separate entities.

You've said it bro or sis. So many fools making nonsensical comments without knowing that UN is a sovereign entity on its own. Educate yourselves some before embarrassing yourselves worldwide.

Until u remember the US funds close to 30% of UN cash and resources,the UN sits on US soil even though the UN grounds are called 'sovereign' lands,...and also the US sits at the UNSC calling virtually most of the shots if Russia/China dont stop em...

UN is a mellow US.

So long as the ICC case is still on his neck, he will never have an official state visit in Washington.

An official visit to Washington is NOT a visit to heaven. Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Kigali are nearer to Paradise. We must decolonise our minds and banish the tendency to lick everything foreign.

Exactly what would Uhuru or Kenya for that matter gain from "an official state" visit to Washington?. Manna from heaven?. Uhuru is the Kenyan President, like it or not and US is just a bully. Am glad we ain't in terms, the days of kneeling to them are over. Go Kenya, go. Go Uhuru and Ruto, go.

The visit to Washington is not neccessary!

And who told you that he need that state visit

Yuor loser candidate can have as many official and unofficial visit as he can make but certainly none as our head of state

Must he visit the US? Of what value will the visit add?

obama is ua god obierro.eda umkule ama umkarange awe omena.kumanina zako

am not surprised that even Assad of Syria will be there. its the UN.

Pathetic and childish

As much as there is a difference in the visit to the UN and official visit to the country I see Public Relation to preempt what is unknown. They want UK to meet with President Obama but not sure it will be possible. I am not sure of whether UK is allowed to travel to US or not but in the eventuality he isn't they come with excuse of not having received official confirmation. September is around the corner

Mugabe is a regular at the UN in NY. He does not even merit a mention in Western media when he makes what he considers chest thumping trips to NY. Childish antics by some African "leaders" is getting very boring. Western leaders have serious issues on their hands to be bothered by tin-pot president in name only jokers from Africa. When the "leaders" warrant punishment, it is duly meted out. For most part they are ignored. How do you severely chastise a poor diasbled individual unless his/her actions are well beyond the pale? Pity is the right reaction. Name a single African country that can withstand a missile attack? Who would really bother?

Was it necessary for him to meet Obama?
Do not waste you time on non issue.

With all the support Uhuru has managed to get from our Chinese brothers, he doesn't need any US conditional support for now. Let him first deal with the $5 billion, otherwise Kenya may be choked by too much funding. And so, no big deal not meeting President Obama now and in future.

keep haters @ bay. or rather making things straight.

This lame excuse for impending snub by Obama...many leaders use this opportunity meet others leaders and do official business....it is cheaper that way...it No brainer

Do you think all the other 192 heads of State are going there to meet Obama and for what?

The heads of State are not 192. They are more than that.

Obama is seen as a failed president in his country anyway. USA is an important country buts its ability to control the world is declining very fast.

Countries that have seen real development like the Asian tigers did not do so because of US friendship or help. US is not trying to develop anyone and idol worshipers of Obama need to know that.

>>>>>"Obama is seen as a failed president in his country anyway."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Don't speak of things of which you don't understand.
He's going to go down as one of the greatest presidents of the modern American era when all is said and done.

Just because Uhuruto is not fit to be in the same room as him doesn't make it any less of a reality

Good to read that at least there is someone who can see.
No country can be No.1 in the world forever!

Thanks for your level headedness. Kenyans should get their facts right and stop worshipping Obama and US for that matter. Obama is a failed President and that's a fact.

You are wrong, US is not there to even make decision in your household, or what the heck do you mean by controlling the world? You seem to be the one preaching US

The Asian tigers are where they are because of the US if you did not know. 70 % of the manufacturing businesses are owned US citizens and 80% of goods they make are sold in the US market if you did not know.

hehe..they hav been saying US influence is diminishing since the great depression of the 30's...South Korea cooperated with the US..they now have Samsung..North Korea did the opposite...remind me pliz what is happening to its people compared to their kinsmen in the south?

Keep hating its bad for your health smfh

inferiority complex written all over your post. The world is much more than the US.

Uhuru will meet his Chinese friends in Chinatown NY. NY.

And he has already
