What has he done with the rude and unethical people work at the Washington dc embassy? We need to be treated with dignity and respect.

i agree with eddy here. in my view elkanah odembo has worked assiduously over the years to develop a fairer, juster, more inclusive kenya in which wealth and opportunity are more equitably distributed across all ethnicities. cross-ethnic suspicion and prejudice are unhelpful and divisive and many of us yearn for the day when kenyans will identify as kenyans first, and approach and practise politics on the basis of ideologies and policies, informed debate and discussion, and not knee-jerk assumptions premised on tribe and family.

the problem with kenyans is always to try and find a fault in everything! i sometimes understand that it is due to the frustrations on economic emptiness most suffer, but sometimes i wish to encourage kenyans to learn to rise above ethnic relations to everything. i mean, how can one claim that elkanah was appointed on the basis of tribe when he is a man of such invaluable accomplishments! how do you even start disputing such a truck record of a social development developer who has transformed many lives out of the political arena in his non-governmental civil involvements? for appreciation sake, the guy is even a senior fellow of synergos! lets stop these tribal eyes to everything and appreciate achievers in our country such as elkanah. elkanah deserves this post and more, and is surely an urgent of positive change! in fact congratulations in your many accomplishments.

this is nepotism ...if not tribalism at play. raila is the biggest tribalist in kenya.....he appointed this luo goon simply because he is family. kenya needs to critically examine it's leaders if we are going to get rid of corruption. vote them out with their tribal agendas. they are worse than the kenyattas ....only if given a chance.

its all in the family
