bbc ^ | 26 October 2009

The US has imposed a travel ban on a senior Kenyan government official for obstructing efforts to rid the country of corruption.

Johnnie Carson, the US state department Africa chief, said he was considering bans on three other officials - but declined to release any names.

Kenya agreed to carry through reforms after 1,300 people died in post-election violence last year.

July, former UN chief Kofi Annan passed the names of those accused of orchestrating the violence to the International Criminal Court in a sealed envelope.

Let all Kenyan document unsealing begin.

Obama’s cousin caused the rioting but I guess he would be welcome at the WH.

Surely this must be from The Onion.

The US has imposed a travel ban on a senior Kenyan government official for obstructing efforts to rid the country of corruption. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

These would be political enemies of the even more corrupt Rial Odinga, who now shares power with Kenyas head of state, and who happens to be Obama's cousin. This is not good news.Obama is a neo colonialist, that is to say someone who wisheds to impose his black power nationalsim on developing third world countries.Obama will be detested for it eventually.

The result will be that Kenya will seek protection from either China or Russia. US Black Power polotics just do not work in tribal Kenya, and Obama has not yet learned his lesson.

Obama is fond of doing this to his foreign political enemies. He has used the power of the State Dept to revoke visas and forbid travel in an attempt to crush Honduras by preventing their diplomatic personnel from traveling in or to the US, for example.

I would suspect this Kenyan official is simply somebody who opposes Bambi’s cousin, Odinga, who pushed his way into a “co-presidency” with the elected president after losing the election. This banned official is probably investigating him and we all know Obama’s not going to let that happen.

The degree of interference by Obama in the internal affairs of foreign countries is really unprecedented.
