Kenya will transit into a new constitutional dispensation in style - the State plans an elaborate public function for August 20, to be attended by foreign dignitaries. During the occasion, President Kibaki will promulgate the new constitution, radically altering governance and institutional face of the republic. The day will be declared a public holiday to allow Kenyans to witness the historic event, according to impeccable sources.

The Standard On Saturday has reliably learnt the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been instructed to send invitation cards to Heads of State and Government, as guests to witness the big fete at a venue to be communicated later.

The latest information came as the chairman of the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC); Ahmed Isaack Hassan published in the Kenya Gazette a notice declaring the official results of the outcome of the August 4 referendum in which Kenyans voted overwhelmingly to endorse the Proposed Constitution.

The Proposed Constitution was endorsed by 6.09 million votes against 2.7 million for those against its adoption.

Yesterday, United States President Barack Obama — whose father was Kenyan — was among world leaders who congratulated Kenyans for endorsing the new constitution in a peaceful, transparent and credible referendum.

From the article:

"The US has shown a clear commitment to supporting Kenya to implement wide-ranging reforms. This has been demonstrated by the many high profile visits of top-ranking Administration officials, including Vice-President Joe Biden, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the activities of its ambassador, Michael Ranneberger. Others that sent contratulatory messages included the Panel of Eminent African Personalities, led by Kofi Annan, the former UN Secretary General. Dr Annan brokered the peace deal that ended post-election violence in 2008. This followed a disputed presidential election results, pitting President Kibaki against Prime Minister Raila Odinga."

It's not just his father.

From the Kenyan Clown's own website, http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate.html, where Obama admits his own Kenyan citizenship:

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4, 1982.”

Congratulations fellow taxpayers. You helped fund this.

With confirmation that Hussein hates black slackers of all stripes, it's doubtful Hussein has the time or the inclination to show up in a country full of family members looking for more handouts.

Hell, Hussein wouldn't show up at the White House at all if he didn't get fed $1500 dollar a pound Kobe beef regularly and get Paul McCarty to serenade him.

Someone needs to do a documentary on the last kenyan election, the muslim violence against Christians and obama’s role in it.
