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...

Start by telling us the relationship between the bible that you read and gayism. You are the one who is posting rubbish. I hate when gays start shouting from rooftops to be recognised and when authorities start viewing sexuality as their business; you are an adult, just do whatever you do in your privacy whether straight or gay.

[h=1]US envoy to Kenya resigns after 'threatening to shoot staff in head'[/h] [h=2]The US ambassador to Kenya resigned after complaints he bullied staff and threatened to "shoot them in the head" if they did not comply with his orders, it has been alleged.[/h]
Scott Gration, who had led the US embassy in Nairobi since February last year, stepped down late last week, citing "differences with Washington regarding my leadership style".

It is understood that the State Department's inspector general is preparing to release a scathing report on Mr Gration, who is a close ally of President Barack Obama, following an extensive internal inquiry.

The former Air Force major general is said to have shown a "confrontational" and eccentric style of micromanagement that caused low morale and complaints among embassy staff.

Mr Gration repeatedly engaged in battles with employees and, according to a report by Foreign Policy, threatened at one point to "shoot them in the head" if they did not comply.

It is also alleged that Mr Gration might have lost his security clearance after the inquiry found he had used a personal email account for official business and set up an office in an embassy lavatory in order to get around the building's secure network.

Such was his eccentric style that soon after starting the job he also ordered that the heights of all embassy tables be adjusted and demanded that all clocks be recalibrated, according to reports.
The disclosures threaten to embarrass Mr Obama, who previously made Mr Gration his special envoy to Sudan after the veteran diplomat became an early champion of his presidential ambitions.
In his resignation statement last week, Mr Gration said: "I am very proud of my 35-year career of dedicated and honourable service to our great nation, leading at all times with integrity first and the highest ethical standards".
Mr Gration did not respond to an email requesting comment on the new allegations. A State Department spokesman did not return a request for comment.

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.

Short Poetry

Mr. Olembo............................ first let me give you a great welcome to our humble abode.
Secondly,............................... the right to express your individuality does not warrant
your protests for peddling your subverted view of the christian religion. Leave
Obama and America's politics out of Kenya's affairs. And also, which bible in reference
are you basing your protests on. So you believe that the current constitution passed is
still not good enough even after blanket hypoctritical approval of the document
from all corners of the republic.

If you are a gay activist PS use the right channel to address your protests and
leave the Bible and Christianity out of your petty gay nonsense.

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.

ndugu Bukyanagandi nikuelimishe kuwa the south african constitution passed a legislation in 2006 to support gay rights

Wamarekani ni nchi ya ajabu sanaKama Kenya wanasheria ya kupinga hayo mambo na yanayoelekeana na hayo, inakuwaje tena ubalozi wa US unaenda kuvunja sheria za nchi nyingine?

Wa ajabu hapo ni Kenya, Tanzania na hizi nchi zetu ambazo kimsingi zimeuza uhuru na utashi wa kuamua mambo kwa kuendekeza misaada. Hivi unadhani wamarekani wanaweza kufanya kitu China kinyume na sheria ya nchi ya China? Kwa nini inakuwa rahisi sana kufanya vitu kwenye hizi nchi zetu? Lazima tuna matatizo makubwa na tutaendelea kudharauliwa mpaka hapo akili zetu zitakapoanza kufanya kazi sawasawa.

The day we stop begging we will gain more respect but so long as the begging cycle is on the madharau hayataisha. Usisahau Uhispania sio Uganda, think of what that was supposed to mean

Je haki za gangsters, rapists, thugs and murderers nani atakaye zipigania kuwa pia ni binadamu ambao mda mrefu hawakukubalika kati ka society kama vile hao gays wanao pewa rights kidogo kidogo. Hao ma rais 44 wa marekani kwa nini walikuwa hawaja wakubali gays?

Kawaida hii sio kuashiria kuwa Obama anependa kuwa gay lakini ni hesabu tu ya uchaguzi ujao unapangwa ya presidential primaries. lakini ajabu ni kwamba asipofaulu kupata msimu mwingine wa uongozi ndio atagundua kumbe historia itamulika sera zake na kuwa unpopular. Obama hivi sasa anapata stiff opposition kutoka kwa state machinery nyingi kama inavyodhihirika katika hii video

You are right man. We cannot be respected if our leaders spend the little money we have travelling abroad in first class cabins to beg wazungus. These wazungus know for sure that ours are poorly managed resource rich countries.

Heshima yako ndugu Kabaridi, thanks for the info - Mkuu, I can assure U that no SOUL can LIVE openly as a GAY in South Africa! There is xenophobia, homophobia and racism. The so-called country's constitution forbiding discrimination on basis of sexual ORIENTATION is on "PAPERS ONLY".

South African (LGBTI) are verbally abused and beaten up mercilessly and when they go to report these incidents to the POLICE they start laughing asking " WHY ARE YOU GAY/LESIBIAN?? JUST GO TO THE HOSPITAL"

LGBT rights in South Africa is currently infiltrated with apartheid. Itakuwaje LGBTI gays wanapigwa na police senseless wakati gays wazungu wanaruhusiwa kufanya lolote. Ndio nikaja kutazama mambo ya katiba. There is a lot of hypocrasy that goes on ikija kwa constitution making na upitishaji wa katiba mpya. Tusiharakishe kupitisha katiba kama jambo ceremonial. Kwanza ichunguzwe kupitishwa kwake ni ya masilahi gani?


Inavoonekana wakati mwingine profound wisdom is better than kuhitimu kutoka vyuo vikuu mbali mbali na madigrii nyingi. Watu walimchekelea Moi kwamba hakua na Kisomo lakini kuna wakati aliuliza swali "What does wanjiku (ordinary mwananchi wa mashambani) know about Constitution making?" Wasomi walibaki kimya ndii wasiwe na cha kuelezea!
