President UHURU KENYATTA will not meet one-on-one with OBAMA at White House

uhuru-bumpinto.jpg Jubilee supporters got the shock of their life on Wednesday after US President, Barrack Obama, said he will not meet one on one with African leaders during the US - African summit scheduled this August. Making the announcement on Wednesday, the Head of US-Africa business group, Tim Hayes, said President Obama will only meet them in a hall during the summit. This means President Kenyatta will be unable to confer with Mr Obama on several sensitive Kenya-US issues if he does travel to Washington for the August 5-6 event. The decision not to arrange individual meetings with Mr Obama “has infuriated some African leaders who have questioned the utility of the trip.” “No doubt Obama will shake the hand of each President, but there will be little substantive dialogue,” Hays said. Over 50 African leaders have been invited to the summit which will be opened by US strongman, Barrack Obama. President Uhuru Kenyatta has so far indicated that he may not attend the summit to avoid being humiliated by Obama.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
