Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata has arrived in the US ahead of the launch of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party liaison office in Seattle, Washington.
The opening of the office is part of the Deputy President William Ruto-linked party’s efforts to reach out to Kenyans in the diaspora.
Senator Kang’ata is expected to hold a series of meetings with Kenyans living and working in the US in readiness for the launch on June 18th.
Kang’ata said Ruto will address Kenyans in the US virtually during the launching ceremony on Friday.
“We expect him to address a huge number of Kenyans here virtually on Friday, preparations are in top gear,” he said.
The office will be located on 1648 310th Street, Federal Way, Washington 98003 and will be headed by Kiairie Prestige, a Kenyan who owns a vernacular station in the US.
Ruto is keen on recruiting Kenyans in the diaspora to UDA to help in drafting an economic blueprint to be put in his manifesto as well as fundraise for his 2022 presidential campaigns.
“There is no serious candidate who does not reach out to Kenyans in the diaspora and other countries that are friends of Kenya. That is the rule,” added Kang’ata.
In April, Ruto held a virtual meeting with Kenyans in the US, Australia, South Africa, and the Middle East, where he laid down his plan for them.
He promised to create a ministry that will exclusively deal with issues affecting the diaspora community.
“The ministry will be addressing all the challenges facing Kenyans in every part of the world,” Ruto said.
Ruto also said his administration would push for the creation of a benevolent fund to support families whose loved ones die overseas.
He also promised to have Kenyans abroad enrolled in the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) and National Social Security Fund (NSSF).

I second you on this one. Diaspora "reps" or "politicians" are Suckers for real. For I remember how some real OMULEMBE suckers (in Houston, TX) pocketed AMANI Party contributions in the US (during the 2013 Kenya presidential Election). This is why you look at them and they are literally FAT cats and still FATTENING on that Illicit money.
That is exactly what kangata is doing in the US! He will collect money and then run away! I can’t believe how fallible Kenyans in the diaspora can be! They have become the easiest target for conmen/women across Africa! Don’t listen to this foolish kangata idiot!
Kazi ya hawa Wakora ni kuNASA Pesa za WaJinga (maFallble). Just vyenye waliNASA za NASA huko Houston, TX (as @BBIbbi has mentioned).
Exactly @guest! And there are a lot of loafing Kenyans in the places you mentioned who brains are way less than a rat’s brain to allow Ruto and kangata to cheat them! Look at who they are supporting! Ruto of all people? A fool who is supposed to be in the ICC jails should not have anything to do with Kenya!
Who told Kanyoni Kanja that Irungu is betraying me?Kanyoni is not my spokesman.
Rip menye! Did you die? Or are you the devil incarnate of Morris menye?
Kwani ni bisahara ya kifamilia. His sister who lives in US has an office there.Huyu Kangata ndiye alitoa idea ya diaspora representative in kenya parliament. Is he grooming his sister in Seattle for the job? Just asking.
He's obviously eyeing ambassadorial jobs for his sister. Politics w benefit.
Thuu is a one is a crook of the highest order! Another serious thief in the making! He just gave all the characteristics of a demon possessed dummy!
Ruto is prohibited from traveling to the USA because of corruption and stealing!
Kangata looks like a neighbor who used to be a thief! This guy looks like he is not all together!
Hakuna mahali hizi punda of conmen wataenda! Diasporans are smarter now.
Are you sure @kipyegon? These folks in the diaspora are not the smartest cookies around, except you Mr.
Look at Shem Ochuodho who lies to people for money and those diaspora Ruto supporters who forgot how Ruto killed children and the yelling mothers in a Kiambaa church!
Who told Ruto we need him to be the president!? This kangata fool is a big traitor who is willing to sell his people for money from Ruto! Someone needs to wake him up with a slap!
How do people listen to a man who looks like a stupid idiot? And these kangata types are the ones making decisions for Kenyans! God have mercy!!
This kangata is cursed! He looks like a ngati ya muranga! He grandpa betrayed the Mau Mau movement and now this mother fucker is betraying Kikuyus with Ruto! We will wrap him up in a bee hive and roll him over Thomson’s Falls in Nyahururu! He is a huge fool!
DOA
This kangata gut looks like a real thief from some neighborhood! I won’t trust him with my life! I don’t think his wife trusts him! All this guy wants is hosing Kenyans of their money! He looks like a money waiting for a banana from Ruto!
You can never trust a man from muranga where wacucu and Matheri hailed from! He knows he is deliberately betraying Kikuyus!
