Obama answers Kenyan critics with a Sh3.6bn budget for youth project

The American government has set aside Sh3.6 billion for its youth empowerment programme in Kenya, according to US ambassador Michael Ranneberger.

The announcement, made in a wide-ranging speech to the American Chamber of Commerce on January 25, indicates the Obama administration is not stepping back from its youth outreach efforts in the country, despite criticism from some politicians.

“President Obama has a strong interest in developing the leadership skills of young people and last year held his first Young Africa Leaders Forum. He has charged young people to be agents of change and to ‘stand up for democracy and transparent government.’ Our $45 million (Sh3.6 billion) ‘Yes Youth Can’ programme will empower hundreds of thousands of youth to participate in the development of their country and expand their peaceful participation in the democratic process.”

The youth outreach programme has attracted criticism from politicians including President Kibaki, Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Environment minister John Michuki, who have labelled it an attempt at regime change.

The Feds take more taxes out of my measly pension, and Obama sends it to Kenya.

In the time of President Bush, NASA received 10 billion per
year. There is no more NASA since it survives only to
support GLOBAL WARMING and MOSLEM OUTREACH, so
think of this as the remaining NASA money which is not directly going to jihad against Americans, courtesy
of the pRes_ _ent Hussein Obama.

This is why a President of the United States can’t have dual citizenship....It sure would be nice if we had an American as president now!

gotta keep those Kenyans happy. Don’t want them to send the birth certificate to the NYT, not that they’d publish it.

1. "Scanners"!

I was just watching the trailer from that movie on YT. A teenage favorite of mine.

2. Hmm. Judging by the quality of American responses...

... that money would be better spent on education that works here in the USA.

3. "Still, we should not be funding ANYTHING in other countries."

Good, so when can we stop funding wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
