The government of Kenya invited high-powered individuals from across the world to grace Uhuru Kenyatta's inauguration for his second and final term.Among those on the list was the former president of the United States of America Barrack Obama whose father is Kenyan.Many Kenyans had hoped that he would show up at least to honor his ancestral roots and the people of Kenya if not Uhuru Kenyatta.Mr. Obama opted not to honor the invitation and no reasons have been given as to why he did so.When he visited the country as president in 2015, Obama promised to come back, his wife and two lovely daughters in tow. It appears the Obama has decided this is not the time to honor that promise.Many Kenyans hope it was not a snub and that the former president of America offered an explanation why he never showed up.
