Former Kenyan President Daniel Arap Moi cautions Kenyans from putting excessive hope in U.S. President Barack Obama and says Kenyans should be focusing on finding local solutions to their problems.
Mr. Moi's remarks come on the heels of President Obama's visit to the West African country of Ghana where he called on African leaders to confront the continent's struggles with poverty and poor governance.
Kenya was the homeland of President Obama's father. Some saw Mr. Obama's decision to visit Ghana as a snub to Kenya for its recent instability and democratic difficulties.
Mr. Moi reportedly told a group of churchgoers on Sunday that Kenyans were foolish to look to Mr. Obama to save the country from its problems, saying that Kenyans should not be looking to outsiders for issues that they need to solve themselves.
