Rishi Sunak: Man with Kenyan Roots Wins Race to Become UK Prime Minister
Rishi Sunak, a politician with Kenyan roots, will become the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, replacing the country’s shortest-serving leader Liz Truss.
Sunak, who was the only person formally nominated to become the Conservative Party leader, will take over at Downing Street after outgoing Prime Minister Truss visits King Charles III to formally resign. King Charles will accept her resignation, and then invite Sunak for a meeting and ask him to form a government.
Sunak gave his first speech as Conservative Party leader on Monday, saying “it is the greatest privilege of my life to be able to serve the party I love, and to be able to give back to the country I owe so much to.”
“The United Kingdom is a great country, but there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge. We need stability and unity, and I will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together.”
“I pledge that I will serve you with integrity and humility … I will work day in, day out to deliver for the British people,” Sunak said in a brief speech after becoming the party’s leader.
At the age of 42, he is the youngest person to take the office in more than 200 years. He is also the first Hindu and the first person of color to become Britain’s Prime Minister.
Sunak, a former Chief Secretary to the Treasury, is a business and finance professional who started his political career after being elected Conservative MP for Richmond in 2015.
His father Yashvir Sunak was born in Kenya while his mother Usha Sunak was born in Tanzania. Both are Hindu Punjabis whose parents migrated from India to Kenya and Tanzania respectively.
Sunak’s parents’ families separately moved to Southampton, United Kingdom, where his mother and father later got married. Sunak was born on May 12th, 1980 at the Southampton General Hospital.

Ningependa kuchukua nafasi hii kumheshimu sana na kumshukuru Ndugu Rishi Sunak kwa kuchaguliwa waziri mkuu wa UK.
Jambo ambalo limenifanya nimheshimu sana ni kwa sababu zifuatazo:
1. Hata ingawa alizaliwa Uingereza, hakuchukua jina la Kiigereza kama jina lake! Kwa nini sisi tunachukua majina ya Waingereza na Wayahudi kama majina yetu?
2. Hakuchukua imani ya watu wengine hasa waliowauza watu wa kutoka bara letu utumwani. Kwa nini sisi tumecchukua imani ya watu ambao waliwauza watu wa kutoka bara letu na mpaka sasa wanatudharau na hawatuoni sisi kama watu kama wao.
3. Hakugeuza rangi ya nywele zake au rangi ya ngozi yake. Kwa nini sisi tunafanya maajabu ya kubadilisha rangi ya ngozi yetu na nywele zetu.
4. WaHindu hawali nyama ya ng'ombe. Ndugu Rishi naye hali nyama hiyo. Kwa hiyo si lazima upoteze asili yako yote ili ukubaliwe na mtu ambaye hata ufanye nini, hatakuheshimu hata kidogo.
SULUHISHO:
Tuanze kujiheshimu kwa kila jambo na pia kutumia lugha yetu ya taifa (Kiswahili) kwenye bunge letu, na pia kwenye mikutano yote inayofabywa hadharani.
HONGERA SANA Ndugu Rishi Sunak.

Ingawa inastaajabisha kwamba amefikia kilele cha taaluma yake, ninatamani kujua ikiwa mtu ambaye si Mhindi wala Mhindu katika imani ya kidini angechaguliwa kuwa waziri mkuu nchini India. Je, Mhindi mzaliwa was asili ambaye ni Muislamu angechaguliwa kuwa rais au waziri mkuu?

What did Obama do for Kenyans when he was president? He deported more folks than even Republicans do.
Tuache ujinga.
Please don't take me wrong, I'm always excited about individual achievements, but not race based.
