Kenya’s embassy in Washington says it is not
aware of a seminar planned for this weekend in
Dallas, Texas, which is to be attended by Cord
governors led by the coalition’s leader Raila
Odinga.
Speaking to the Nation through her secretary,
the acting Kenyan envoy to Washington Jean
Njeri Kamau said the embassy was not aware of
any meeting to be attended by governors from
Kenya. “We therefore have no comment on the
matter,” said Ms Kamau.
Mr Odinga is set to lead a team of recently
elected Cord governors to a meeting organized
by the Network for Development of Youth in
partnership with Summers Dodge International
Group.
However, the planned meeting has raised
eyebrows in some quarters. On Tuesday, David
Ochwang’i, the president of the Kenyan
Community in Atlanta Association (KCAA) told
the Nation it was peculiar that no governors
from other political parties were attending the
meeting. “Why couldn’t they hold the seminar
in Kenya and invite the facilitators? Isn’t that
more cost effective?” he added.
On Monday, Sam Osamba, one of the organizers
of the event, told a media briefing in Dallas that
the main objectives of the summit was to
introduce the newly elected governors to
practices and techniques in handling challenges
in devolved governments
