| [Daily Nation (Kenya)] Four top government officials and a prominent businessman have been banned from setting foot in the US over suspected drug trafficking. US ambassador Michael Ranneberger announced that the US Government had taken the decision based on "reliable and corroborative" reports that the five were involved in drug trafficking. "Today I am announcing that, based on reliable and corroborative reports, we have taken steps to ensure that that four senior government officials and one prominent businessman will be permanently prevented from entering the US for business or tourism," Mr Ranneberger said in his address to members of the Rotary Club, Coast chapter in Mombasa Tuesday. |

| #3 #2 I strongly recommend Ambassador Ranneberger be immediately reassigned as the US Ambassador to Mexico. Posted by: Besoeker 2010-11-17 10:51 Do you also recommend a regiment of Marines to provide security for him from the drug cartels? Amb. Ranneberger can get away with that in Kenya; doing something similar in Mexico would make him a number-one target of both the drug cartels and the Mexican government. |
