Because that’s what Obama uses, get it?

He was using it during the summit? During his inauguration speech was he using it?

@Mathice

At state house during the Q&A, session with the press, Obama, without a teleprompter was fumbing with words Just watch the footage, the media is replaying it over and over again. Meanwhile quit this ass licking attitude

…thought so too Obezzie was mumbling en fumbling kama buda flani we all know:)

[Wooi]

Ooh yes, he was using a teleprompter, you can’t see it but he can

Very true, INDEED good and learned statesmen need not to read typed speeches. Imagine uneducated Lincoln in 1860’s used to give out excellent and emotional speeches from his head.
But the worst I saw was Museveni, in 2013 kenyata’s inaguration. His speech was written on a foolscap and he kept on struggling to read it with his specs and i felt ashamed of it!

Its sad tht u would compare a presidential speech in the 17th century to one in the 21st. When global village didnt exist thus no socio-cultural diversity, need for political correctness in speeches etc etc.
Pres. Uhuru was addressing the world…given the representation by media houses. The need to not fumble issues and deliver salient issues clearly far outweigh the need to impress a commoner by ‘freestyling’ during such an important speech.
Freestyle huwachiwa tym ya Q&A wen he silences stupid journalists lyk he did with the non-issue response to the gay question. 10-Nil!

Guys should know there is a difference between the ‘Person’ and ‘President’. Now, there is no way Obama or Uhuru can give a statement/speech as PRESIDENT without it being PREPARED IN ADVANCE, him reading or reciting it is not an issue.

Kwani mkiwa shule hamukuwahi toa mashahiri bila ya kusoma, and you own it as if you are speaking your mind and not something written ages ago?.

I had the chance to listen that part of Q/A and i noticed that he was fluent than Obama, naturally Uhuru is a better orator than Obama

@Mr President we need you to do better; say something off your mind

ndani ya statehouse ama kwa nyumba yake sawa.but when he is representing the state office apana

Just watched the clip where the two presidents were dancing to sauti sol and I must say the son of Kogelo has got the moves while the host was busy clapping his hands ni kama yuko kwa kwaya. So who is better now? Kamwana we love you

When you will become of age you will know that what is not written was not done.

Kenyatta is one of the better spoken leaders we have. His speech writers are even better than the ones his predecessors had. Give credit where it is due.

Leaders in the West are puppets of corporations that control businesses. As such, millions is spent to train them in certain aspects that would endear them to the voters.

They even have posture coaching…

Nobody enjoys a written speech. It lacks the element of emotion on the part of the reader.

This thread is about speech giving not dancing.

@MaryJane

On official business all Government representatives, speaking on behalf of Government/Nation MUST have a written official statement. It is a different story when the president speaks as person in charge of office then it is allowed for him to voice his agenda off head.

I can’t remember the last time I saw Obama read a speech word for word.

@Mzee mzima

Obama’s visit to the country makes you appreciate the deep contrast between African leaders and leaders of the developed nations particularly Obama. I will single out the issue of SPEECH. Let’s not get this wrong, Obama sometimes does read his speeches but most of the times at least when I have observed him, he does not read from a script. At times he carries a small paper with his major points and elaborates in his own words. On the other hand is Uhuru, dude is forever reading his script. More annoyingly is that he reads as exactly as it is, not subtracting or adding at least a phrase. Even in instances where it is expected that he does not read someone else’s mind he goes ahead. For instance, during the Westgate attack, I expected that the president would come out and tell the country what his feelings are, our values … without reading some prepared shit. These speeches that he reads are very plastic, in fact if you have listened to more than two of his speeches you have a drift of what he will say in the next meeting. Kwanza the word INDEED haiwezi kosa. Mr President we need you to do better; say something off your mind, evoke emotions, capture the Kenyan spirit in your communications to the citizens. I thought that since you strive to copy President Obama you would copy his oratory skills but it seems you borrowed only the PR part. The only thing you can add to your speech is ‘Governor Kidero plant it, it shall grow’ my question is when will your oratory skills grow??? o_O:mad:

Obama is the most notorius script reader in american history. he used to move around with those swanky prompts even when visiting a kindergarten. in his second term ue seems to have changed kiasi. on the INDEED speeches za Kenyan presidents I agree. it’s been there for ages its like the same dude wrote for Moi obako and now uhunye the same drab my gaarment…indeeed (kwanza obako used to pull this one from nai to othaya)

Guys next time you see two translucent screens on either side of Obama know that they are not stunners but screens rolling his speech. they are placed on either side so je can swing his head and appear to be facing tje crowd in either direction. here is obash addressing 6th graders watoi wa primo
