US Ambassador in Nairobi Hosts Gay Pride Event, then resigns after the fact.

geza, before you tell me more bullshit, i recommend you tell this forum your reasons for Grations exit, makes more sense than screaming like a biatch on each and every Kenyan related thread.

29 June 2012 Last updated at 12:58 GMT [h=1]Aid workers kidnapped from Kenya's Dadaab camp near Somalia[/h] Four foreign aid workers and a Kenyan national have been kidnapped from a refugee camp in Kenya close to the border with Somalia, police say.
A driver was also killed in the ambush on a convoy by gunmen in Dadaab camp, home to more than 450,000 Somalis.
The foreign workers were from Norway, Canada, Pakistan and the Philippines, the region's deputy police chief Philip Ndolo told Reuters news agency.
Several aid workers have been kidnapped from Dadaab in the last year.
Many aid groups have withdrawn from the camp as a result.
Mr Ndolo said two vehicles in the convoy had come under attack - and one had managed to get away.
A spokesman for the Norwegian Refugee Council said its secretary general, Elizabeth Rasmussen, was in the convoy that was involved in an "incident", but she was fine.
No further details were available, he said.
Somalia has had no effective central government since 1991, and has been wracked by fighting ever since - a situation that has allowed piracy and lawlessness to flourish.
Islamists from the al-Qaeda-linked group al-Shabab control large swathes of the country.
"We suspect this could be the work of al-Shabab sympathisers," Mr Ndolo said.
Last October, Kenyan troops entered Somalia in pursuit of al-Shabab militants accused of being behind various kidnappings on Kenyan soil and of destabilising the border region.
Earlier that month two Spanish doctors working for the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres were kidnapped from Dadaab and are still being held hostage.

geza ulole! why when it comes to kenya & kenyans comments zako zinakuwa loaded na hate inside
 
What do you know about the Kenyan constitution? The supreme law of the land is categorical! Everyone is equal under the law and no one will be discriminated on the basis of sex, tribe, religion, sex, affiliation......

This is great news! We are all equal!

Stop the obsession with what consenting adults do with their genitals!

You keep repeating yourself with the same MANTRA!! How do you mean "disciminated on basis of SEX" you know precisely what that implies, lakini hapa inajitia kugeuza ili ionekane inahusu GAYS na LESBIANS, ni nchi gani za Africa zina-support (constitution) mambo ya kishenzi kama hayo Kenya notwithstanding.

Binadamu wanashindwa wanyama wa Masia Mara/Tsavo/Serengeti ambao wana ufahamu wa ku-distinguish between a HE and a SHE, nashukuru GOK imefanya kila liwezekanalo kumuondoa Barozi huyu Bubonic Plague nchini mwao. That SERVES him RIGHT, hiyo itakuwa a wake up call kwa wazungu wengine ambao ni LIKE MIND watafikilia mara mbili kabla hawajaja AFRICA na ushezi WAO.

the said ambassador wasnt supporting whatever happened as new data reveals. He even didnt attend the LGBT occassion and is said to be a God fearing man with a strong christianity background.

As I said before and i will say it again, this was the best ambassador from US to Kenya. He really struggled to fend off Americas subversive interests in Kenya, the famous clause ''difference with his masters'' tells it all. Prior to being an ambassador to Kenya after Sudan; he was the F5 jet trainer to KDF (before the failed 82 coup attempt), her parents were then staying in Kenya on missionary duties till they relocated to DRC couple of years back.

I dont believe he did Kenya wrong, washington did, from travel advisories (which GoK audibly protested) to this gay/lesb manenos all of which he seems to have distanced himself from. Piecing various articles together from different authors, cadres including serving men, all seem to say he took the falling to save Americas image in Kenya (very unfair) ....call it sacrificial falling....but hope the next amb.

Takes a cue from him to respects the Kenyan citizenry. Kenya protested on Americas ignorance (travel advisory), this other stuff too but it was americas policy, not Grations.
 


"In Kenya, many of his underlings at the American Embassy said he was remote and imperial. He also did not seem to be engaged in Kenyan politics as the country heads into one of the most anticipated presidential elections in its history, the first since 2007, when the country exploded in ethnic violence. But some State Department and embassy staff members said they were reluctant to press their criticisms of him because of his close ties to the president.

People familiar with the disputes confirmed reports on Friday that Mr. Gration preferred to use Gmail for official business and set up private offices in his residence - and an embassy bathroom - to work outside the purview of the embassy staff."

"The audit by the State Department Office of Inspector General found that Gration repeatedly violated diplomatic security protocols at the embassy by using unsecured Internet connections despite warnings, according to a former State Department Africa Bureau official who has seen a draft of the report.

Embassy staffers complained about his lack of interpersonal skills and confrontational style, which generated low morale, the former official said..."

Mr Scott Granton a retired Airforce commander is a trained soldier and this occurence is just an exposition of the bigger plot that the ambassaduer declined to re-align himself with kenyan politics and concetrate on his diplomatic mission. The US wanted to mould him to become a politican and that is why he could not stomach such hypocracy. And this is what african nations have failed to stop. Giving flimsy reasons and other petty nonsense about breaking protocol is just an expression of how low this "ally" has sank.

Thanks for the INFO - LIVEFIRE, 'am sorry for my outburst.
 
Yesterday I went to church - Emmanuel Baptist - and the American pastor gave a sermon in which he explained that the Ambassador is a 'born again' christian who felt he had to resign because he could not stand with the American position (read Obama's Administration) on homosexuality.

What rubbish.

This is called being disingenuous.
You cannot be an Ambassador of a country whose position you will not stand for.

I am tired of people blaming Obama.

First of all, I think he's right on his personal stand that homosexuals in the society deserve the same rights as everyone else, regardless of whether they are agreed with or not.

But this position is a natural extension of America's vision of democracy and the Ambassador should not be demonising Obama for it. It is cowardly to blame the Black man for something your own people are voting for.

Further, Kenya will have it's own constitution...we are not fools, and our own constitution will reflect the rights and make up of everybody in this country.

I get so angry with Kenyans who run around saying that this is a Christian nation. It is not. It is Kenya. If I want to pray to a mask with maize husks for hair in my back yard, I can.

We ourselves have to wake up on the right side of History.

We're not going Uganda's way and ending up fools three decades down the line. We are not going to learn that the world was made in Seven Days and teach it as an applied science.

And we will not spend our time sleeping under our neighbours beds.

We have better things to do.
