July 11, 2009: Pres. Obama gives a clear message to Africans on Governance.
The message in Ghana from U.S. President Barack Obama to Africans was clear -
"We must start from the simple premise that Africa's future is up to Africans." President Obama also asserted that "taking control of your destiny, and making change from the bottom up is your responsibility."
The Time has come
The time for action is now. For over 45 years, Kenyans have been taken for a ride, robbed, maimed, and basically left clothless and left out to dry.
The Diaspora Movement of Kenya is committed to improving the lives of our brethren in Kenya. Every citizen or dual citizen has a right to the fruits of our forefathers and the benefit of the freedom fighters who died so that we, and our protégé can live in a better Kenya.
Through outreach and advocacy, we can make a difference! We meet regularly, discuss legislative matters and support candidates that support a vision of hope for Kenya. Now you have a unified voice through DMK. Join DMK on Facebook and also make sure you are signed up for email updates by filling out your data below.

The Need for a New Accountable Government
Earlier this year, diaspora members met to discuss the past and current state of their homeland - Kenya. The meeting was a follow- up on meetings that have taken place over the years and focused on governance in Kenya. It was obvious after the meeting that positive change was not going to come from within any Kenyan government, it was going to have to come from without. And hence the launch of the Diaspora Movement of Kenya. This movement is designed to represent the interests of all Kenyans that live both outside of Kenya, and within Kenya. Members all over the world have voiced their concern for this and demanded real, honest change within the framework of viable and accountable institutions.
