Asked why he can’t vote for Clinton, Malik said, “she is not honest. She is not speaking from deep down. Look at her speeches, they are all scripted. They are not natural like Trump’s.”
He is also unhappy that Hillary was let off the hook in the emails scandal.
“After the recommendation that she will not be prosecuted, I didn’t like it at all because it seems the system was for her,” he said.
In an interview on wide-ranging issues, Malik also spoke of how the Republican leadership helped “free slaves.”
“You remember George Bush re-opened my aunt’s file and gave an executive order that she should not be deported,” he posed. “What has my brother done…? My brother did nothing.”
He was referring to his aunt Zeituni Onyango, a half sister of Obama’s father.
“It still baffles me that when he came to Kenya he told us that he can’t associate too much with family back home just because he is the President of the United States, and that he needs to finish his term for him to associate more. It does not make any sense at all,” he said.
You know, he quipped, “it’s like telling someone who is sick I will not help you but wait until you die and you will go to heaven.”
Malik is not convinced that Obama will offer them help once he is out of office, because “This is the time we need him most, not when he is out of the White House.”
He believes that even Kenya as a country needs Obama now more than when he is out of power.
“It is now that Kenya wanted him most so that he can bring up support on things like hospitals, universities, employment and even come up with scholarships,” he said, citing Uganda and Tanzania.
“Kenya should have benefited more from his presidency, but it has not.” “He could have opened scholarships like Tom Mboya did.”
