There is no Govt. in kenya we only have a group of thieves collected and given a sweet name as Honorable Mawezi. If a ministaer can resign just because of a mere accident of neglegence in a country then makweres, Ongeri's saitotis, name them should not be in govt. at this time. They are there for ...

  I join hands with fellow Kenyans, US and the world to celebrate this historic moment of victory for Barack Obama.This is leadeship of a superpower country to a black American. This is great lesson to Kenya. Let's elect leaders based on policies not tribalism and ethnicity.

  It seems like Kenyans have no work to do. Americans have chosen their leader. Stop behaving like Kenya is one of the states that voted for Obama. Obama is the President of the United States of America. Learn the lessons of democracy and maturity and go back to work to rebuild Kenya from the ruins and shame of of December 2007.

  Tighten the Kenyan roots grip on Barack Obama particularly in Nyanza province, where he hails from. And celebrate his presidential win in the USA with pride and style by immediately renaming Kisumu Airport to Barrack Obama International Airport. This simple action will raise the international image of Kisumu City and Kenya in general, and it may allow us to cash in on it in the near future.

  Otieno Apondi, Whoever you are, you must be a tribalist to the core. For some reason I doubt whether you are a Luo as you claim. One does not need rocket science to know that Barack is a Luo and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with that. I presume you are married and living in the USA. Your children born to you in the US can, yes, be American citizens but they will never cease being LUO.

  This is the day we have been waiting for and yes, we are making a difference. Let us never forget this moment even as we look forward with great anticipation to the future politics in Kenya. When a leader will win with a landslide, based on genuine credentials not tribe!

  Sometimes I hate myself during election time when my tribesmen remind me I am a Luo. Having been brought up in a small town with all Kenyan tribes, I hate it when luos, one of the most celebrated tribalist, gang up to vote for one of their own: Raila.A Luo can not vote for any other tribe. And now, as we wait to celebate Obamas victory, my tribesmen want to make others belief that Obama is a Luo.

  Kenyans should be watching democracy at work. Note there has been no report of stoning and slashing each other in the name of election. America is a country holding millions of people from different ethenicity and no such shameful reports that we watched on TV about Kenyans fighting/killing each other on December and stop declaring Obama a winner before the results are out.
