You must be a journalist who is baiting wazua to get views and opinions for their next piece.
Sure is not a journalist, she is a property dealerHere is mine. You should first do you research there are several projects of grander scale that were done by the west pre and post colonial period example the railway(pre colonial) and all roads in the post colonial period were more or less built with western aid.
The westerners did not build the same to benefit Africans or Kenyans, they built the transport lines in order to loot the resources from the interior with speed and efficiency. Are you an 8-4-4 system by product?The total amount given by western aid still does not compare to what BRICs have contributed
And that is the point Sure was making, the Mzungus continued to give Kenya more loans while they knew very well that the money was being siphoned to individuals pockets. Why give someone more loans when he has failed to utilize previous loans properly? Simple, the donor funds were being channelled back to Britain into individual pockets. Its a way of stealing from your government without being caught. .
Now since we have established we are comparing apples and oranges we have to put in perspective what the benovolent donors aim to get.
It is not Oranges and Apples, It is Mutual friends versus Parasites or the Imps. The westerners are Imps.
The western aid has conditions that does not favor our corrupt governments.Actually I should not proceed from here cauze you seem to be seriously ignorant of the facts on the ground. Western propaganda has gotten the better of you.Just read this before going back to the drawing room.
"“I remember the first handing over of funds in Mr Villepin’s presence. The money came from Marshal Mobutu (Sese Seko), president of Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo).”
“It was in 1995. He had given me 10 million francs that Jacques Foccart gave to Chirac,” Mr Bourgi said, referring to his predecessor who was president Charles de Gaulle’s pointman for Africa and then briefly also for Chirac.
Mr Bourgi said the money handed over amounted to “several million francs a year. More during elections”.
“In the run-up to the 2002 presidential campaign (won by Chirac), Villepin asked me outright ‘what steps to take’.”
Mr Bourgi said five African leaders came to Villepin’s office: Senegal’s Abdoulaye Wade, Burkina Faso’s Blaise Compaore, Ivory Coast’s Laurent Gbagbo and Congo-Brazzaville’s Denis Sassou Nguesso and Gabon’s Omar Bongo. There, they handed over around 10 million dollars for the 2002 campaign, he alleged."

Do you have any doubts that the same happened between Kenya & Britain, apart from guaranting the Mzungus easy market for their expensive Land Rovers etc. Fight corruption, democrazy the country etc etc. But that is not to say the BRICs dont have conditions the only difference is the BRICs conditions favour the politicians and not the people. They get cheaper resources, land to grow heir crops, commodities at cheaper rates, employment of their people etc etc.
This brings us to the more important question "which conditions are better for the common man western conditions or the East's conditions?"
