‘Nani alituroga!’ – Moses Kuria laments after Obama visit

Barely hours after former US President Barack Obama visited Kogelo, Siaya, Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria was among the first politicians who took to social media to criticise. 

Obama gave the country a message of hope and applauded the efforts of both President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga in bringing the nation together.

“We now have a new Constitution. We also have a president and a major opposition leader who have pledged to build bridges and have made specific commitments to work together. So what we see in Kenya is a part of an emergent more confident and more self-reliant Africa,” said Obama as he was speaking the inauguration of the Sauti Kuu Vocational Centre founded by Auma Obama, his half-sister.

“Lakini Africans especially Kenyans are a weird lot. Barack Obama was President of the United States for 8 years. The most powerful person on earth, with unfettered access to the awesome American economy and the nuclear codes. He did practically NOTHING for Kogelo, Kenya or Africa. Nothing! Zero!

“Today as a Eunuch former President he visits Kenya, we close all the roads for him. He then proceeds to Kogelo, body-searches host Governor Cornel Rasanga and reduces my good friend and Lupita Nyongo's daddy into a spectator. The skinny kid with a funny name then delivers a 7 minute hollow speech with a curtain raiser from his sister Auma who sets the stage by giving a scathing and condescending indictment of Luo Nyanza leaders.
