Kenya is incredibly excited today at the outcome of the US election. People have been celebrating everywhere. In fact, tomorrow has been declared a National holiday here in Kenya. No one (including yours truly) has to go to work or school in celebration of "Obama Day."
It is ironic to me that Americans do.
I believe that this probably marks the first time in history that one country is declaring the election results of another country a public holiday.
Kenyan's love holidays - and I can't fault them for that.
It is good for this country to celebrate the peaceful transition of power, and I am proud to say that Democracy works so well in my homeland.
There is a lot more that I would like to say, but won't. Instead I am going to enjoy the holiday with my family tomorrow. Cheers - to all of you who have to work tomorrow!
