The American flags have already been hoisted at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), roads beautified, street families swept off the streets and the media has speculated about every detail of his trip sending the whole country into “Obamamania”.

However, when US President Barack Obama touches down at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) this week on a historic trip to his father’s homeland, he will be carrying a heavy burden of expectations on his shoulders.

Although the purpose of his visit will be to host the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, an invite-only affair for 3,000 delegates at the KICC, politicians, industry leaders have already created a wish list on what they expect the visit from “their son” will achieve.

ELECTORAL REFORMS

The opposition is thought to be setting ground on corruption in government and electoral reforms as some of the things they expect the American president to address.

On Friday Cord Principal Raila Odinga made a fresh push to have Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Chairman Issack Hassan step aside over graft allegations saying they were being shielded. Similar to the opposition, a section of the civil society also wants President Obama to pressure the government to deal with graft.
