E Ogego is entitled to his views, this is a complete abuse of office.
Kenyan Ambassador Peter Ogego had just announced to the whole world on live radio that our President-elect, Barack Hussein Obama, was born in Kenya, his birthplace is already an attraction, and placing a marker is up to the Kenyan government.
Ogego was rightfully incensed at Barack Obama's insertion of himself into Kenyan politics as well as Barack Obama's uncalled for attack on the democratically elected Government of Kenya during an official visit to the country.
It was almost a year ago that Ogego accepted an invitation to kick off a new school-based program of the Cleveland Council on World Affairs.
Books for Kenyatta University Ogego praised the efforts of a group of Kenyan-American professors who pioneered efforts to donate books from educational institutions in the US.
Although Ogego is a smart guy and all that, I dont think he comes across as any of the above.
Stories are also beginning to emerge that Ogego is among a small cadre of Kenyans campaigning against Obama behind the scenes.
Ambassador Peter Ogego said that before violence claimed more than 1,000 lives, the country had been a stable democracy and a model for its neighbors.
Ogego is saying he's "infuriated" by a radio program's efforts to "misquote" him on the subject of President-elect Barack Obama's birthplace but he refused to confirm whether Obama was born in the United States.
In an exclusive interview with WND today, Ogego was specifically asked whether Obama is a natural-born US.
Now Ogego is saying the hosts misquoted and edited the audio recording of his comments.
They asked me about Obama's father, not Obama," Ogego said with a raised voice.
