Jaguar was at it again, doing what he does best; electrifying any lucky crowd that gets the chance to watch him perform on stage.
Over the weekend Jaguar performed at a sold out concert at Swayz Ballroom in Dallas Texas. Just like his show was filled up in Rwanda some time back, the case was no different in Dallas.
The show had to be delayed due to the long queue as fans turned up in huge numbers.
The performance was the main event of the Dallas Memorial Kenyan Festival.
Here are some photos of how that went down
It does not need reminding that Kenyans of Somali extraction is a critical part of the Kenyan community. They are in government, businesses and the NGOs. They are also in our security forces and in high decision making levels.
The vetting exercise was a security operation focused on all aliens. It is meant to secure the country and its people. It happens in all country, even if not so publicly.
This is why it is saddening that some people in Europe and America have been holding demonstrations against Kenya based on wild allegations that the government has been carrying out ethnic profiling of Somalis.
There is no doubt that the Al-Shabaab is largely comprised of the Somali people, although it has over the previous years been recruiting unpatriotic locals to carry out terror attacks. It is not also lost to peace-loving Kenyans that local criminal gangs like Mungiki may have taken advantage to carry out terror attacks as well as to achieve economic and political ends.
It is also very saddening that CORD leader Raila Odinga plans to take advantage of the wild allegations about alleged profiling of Somalis to incite the public against the Jubilee Administration when he returns to Nairobi on May 31 from three months of absence in the US for suspicious missions.
Despite the negative reports and exaggerated news from the international media and sections of the local news outlets, Kenyans should be assured that the government is doing everything possible to contain the insecurity hovering in the country and restore peace by defeating the terrorists and all criminal gangs.
It is from this thinking that the government needs support and cooperation from all Kenyans and friendly nations rather than condemnation.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto and indeed the entire government need full support so that they can deliver on promises made to Kenyans during the 2013 campaigns.
Similarly, the gallant security forces need support and encouragement to remain energized to protect the lives of all Kenyans, visitors and everybody legally in the country.
Our friendly foreign partners should be assured that Kenya is one country, which cannot afford to discriminate any community nor treat the foreigners in inhumane or disrespectful manner.
As a country, we appreciate to be corrected on our shortcomings. The country remains open to progressive and new ideas.
