5 Paramount Reasons Why Obama Should NOT Visit Kenya. The Staggering Amount The Country Will Incur Is Cause Number One!

The very idea that US President, Barack Obama, should not visit Kenya this coming July sounds like sheer absurdity. But according to Harvard Professor, Robert I. Rotberg, Kenya stands to lose if the leader of the free world sets foot in the country.

The US President is set to visit Kenya for the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) which will take place in Nairobi in July. His planned visit is however causing tumult on the internet.

Harvard Professor, Robert I. Rotberg, has urged Mr. Obama not to visit his father’s homeland until he finishes his term in office.

In a lengthy article he wrote on Politico Magazine, the Professor highlighted reasons as to why the World’s most powerful man shouldn’t jet into the 254.

Top of Rotberg’s list is the ICC factor, the professor argues his ‘sanctified’ President shouldn’t be rubbing shoulders with ICC indictee. The scholar seems to be oblivious of the fact that all charges levied against our President were dropped.

Other factors brought on the table by Rotberg include; Secret Service inability to protect Obama in Kenya (Secret Service is the security organ charged with protecting the US President), nauseating sleaze in Kenya and ethnic animosity Obama’s visit will create.

The foremost reason why Obama shouldn’t dare come to Kenya according to Rotberg is the cost the country will incur hosting him.

The Harvard Professor claims the country will have to part with approximately $60 million or Kes 5.7 billion to keep the American President safe.

Rotberg says Kenya has better uses of its limited cash than protecting a visiting head of state who need not visit the country until after he leaves office.
