And John Kerry is coming over.

Jubilee started with PORK & DPORK indicted by ICC and with Al Shabaab throwing grenades & launching terror attacks - but they've overturned all that - sorted out the security situations, dealt with ICC defly and kenya has basically restored it's image.

That validates that jubilee has been all about PR and nothing else.

I wonder how much we gave up to be loved again by the west. Not long ago, uhuru was calling british tourist a bunch of poor taxi drivers, but alas, they are now his super partners!

Jubilee first year was a security disaster; but they seem to have fixed this; with the firing of the 3 incompetent ; Kimaiyo, Ole Lengu and NSIS director and appointment of new guys [Nkaissery,Boinnet & Gen Waweru]; and of course JUbilee has done great with Safaricom/Huawei investment of 10B to put CCTV and such tech in Nairobi & Mombasa, more police equipment and the
works.Of course Ocampo capitulation in the ICC did a lot to undo the damage of indictment.Most importantly Jubilee seem to have reset the realtionship on their terms....without bribing anyone...the defiance of western "consequences" in 2013...has reset the bully relationship...now those western envoys know their place.


So Jubilee is not just PR - behind the scenes - they've knocked down specifics - and now tourists are flooding back in.

If only Jubilee could deal with corruption & roads - they' would score nearly 90% in my books.

This is by far the best gov we have ever had.

Its the international attention they sought that will see them come down.

Its not about Jubilee. Much as tribal bigots used an innocent papal statement mentioning jubilee to claim undue credit. It is about Kenya. If Uhuru and Ruto used tax money to try to reduce the damage their activities had caused Kenya we can only complain about the abuse embedded when they take credit for it.

It must remain a continues daily war to keep the name of The Fatherland clean - despite Uhuru and family:

1. Uhuru's mama kills elephants
2. Uhuru is a drug addict - not a good role model
3. Uhuru aids and abets drug dealing and drug dealers
4. Uhuru is a confirmed alcoholic and drunkard
5. Uhuru's friends include Escaped Convict Sonko
6. Uhuru pretended to destroy a narcotics carrying ship to help Karangi and others divert the real cargo
7. Uhuru paid 1.4 billion "debt" to himself and other friendly thieves such as Wanjigi
8. Uhuru stole the entire proceeds of Eurobond
9. Uhuru is leading a Kenya where he has turned state house in to a Bribe Collecting Window. We need a jesus to go in there and overturn those tables and benches and whip those Pharisees and Sadducees out of the House of The Fatherland. It is not good PR
10. Uhuru is NOT a believer in Democracy. All actions he has taken in the last 4 years point at a man deeply schooled in dictatorship. He has paid MPs to defect, held no substantive meetings with The Opposition and practically seeks to kill multiparty democracy
