How many more foreignors will flock into Kenya in the name of UN missions? Why do we wait for others to elect Kenya? If it's about peace missions, why don't they elect to establish themselves in the less peaceful countries in Africa where they are needed right away? They could establish themselves in S. Sudan, in Somalia and many others. Why Kenya? What is Kenya gaining other than being occupied by more foreignors? The current government has allowed a lot of dumping including Chinese who are useless in their countries, they are dumped in Kenya. Kenyan's need to wake up.
What Kenya needs from foreigners is
only what we can see and touch and we are not capable of producing. All other fake services and especially the churches which have become morally bankrupt need to be legally closed down (Using the law).
Kenya does not need to be occupied in the name of fake investment and in the name of providing jobs for Kenyans.
Next we will be elected by European Union, next by G-7 even though we do not belong and finally we will be elected by KKK clan.
Kenyans need to wake up. Where is the space to be occupied by all these Organizations and Corporations? Or is this the reason Gikomba market is being burnt down to remove the locals and create space for the foreigners?
God help Kenya!!
