Calling Kenyans around the world - to contribute to Kenya's development

KENYA GLOBAL UNITY CENSUS



Dear Kenyans abroad
We have finally formed a global diaspora organization called Kenya Global Unity. Our main objective is for all the diasporans to have a voice and contribute in the development of Kenya.

Our hope is that eventually diaspora will be a constituency with an elected  representative. And that the diaspora will vote in the next Kenya general election.

Being one of the top contributors to Kenya economy, it is just fair that we have a voice through our vote and representation. However, ladies and gentlemen, we know our government and our leaders. It is a fact that if we dont demand for this now then 2012 will come and go and nothing will happen. Indeed 2017 may just be another day that the diasporans will be taken for granted.

It is in this regard that we the diaspora are in unison to  demand for our rights this time. The only way we can achieve this is first to stand to be counted. The word out there is that we are 3 million kenyans abroad. For the government to take us seriously, our first step is conduct a correct census. In this era of Information and technology this is easily achievable. We are therefore  requesting every Kenyan abroad to join Kenya Global Unity face book. If every Kenyan abroad sign up, then we will have atleast an approximate number of Kenyans abroad. After this we will request every Kenyan abroad to sign a census form which will be soon avalable in the Kenya Global Unity website soon to be created. This will eventually give us the accurate information on the number of  Kenyans abroad. 

Please note that this message is sent on my individual capacity but is very consistent with the spirit of the executive committee of Kenya Global Unity.  What we know is that if we are not united then we will never be able to stand for any of our rights. Moreso it will be difficult for us as a blessed group to uplift our brothers at home from the dungeon of poverty. We will always be sending money but the money  will simply be sunk into the pit of corruption, nepotism and tribalism. As well we will simply be always at the backseat of development. While our leaders will be busy distributing tenders to foreign owned companies, we will alwasys be left behind whispering in bars and internet.

As they say "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.". Please do not be a very good man doing nothing. Lets join hands to build a new Kenya. Let all diasporans own up to their responsiblity of being our keeper and our brothers keeper
