In Summary
- Foreign Affairs minister Moses Wetang’ula has summoned the US ambassador, Mr Michael Ranneberger for talks over letters that the American government has sent to 15 Kenyans, threatening to ban them from travelling to the US. Daily Nation talks to Government Spokesman Dr Alfred Mutua
This government has been in power for two years and it has five years to enact the reforms. Reforms are not done in two weeks or within three months because they involve a legislative system. It takes time. All these will be done.

Truth be told, we're a sovereign country and no one should be telling our Ministers off over issues they could have dictated. Kenyans, people were behind our political skirmishes and our economy is what irritated the neo-colonizers. In just 5 years we were funding 93% of our budget and were not at donors' mercies. Lets pray to God that we go back there, and that we never again agree to kill each other over a politician. Most of them are paid by foreign masters to sell our country.

A foreign government should not adress an individual minister if he or she is carrying out a government policy. Surely, corruption is not an official Kenyan government policy. The officals tragetted by the US government are being accused of deeds done outside their ministerial responsibilities. , actions that a court of law in a transparent democracy such as America would deal with, not diplomacy. In america they even brought down an elected president for misdeeds while in office. Hence Kenya cannot preach to america in this regard.

ODM supporters and their leaders like Orengo are so bitter with Kibaki they are ready to become traitors and to sell our dignity as a nation down the river. Kibaki will be gone in 2 years, but Kenya will be right here. Spineless, dishonest hypocrites!
