The west had practically given up on Africa. Look at how the west viewed Africa in 2000 and 2013, by comparing these front cover's from The Economist from 2000 and 2013:  Then look at the level of Chinese investments to Africa over roughly the same time period:  Sent from my Black Nokia 3310

@Ash Ock, agreed, China has shown the west that there's money to be made in Africa. But why specifically Kenya? Why not Nigeria the African new powerhouse or South Africa?

Lamu port and rail to Addis Ababa issues. Been meaning to ask, how is it over there with Abenomics? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

Considering the amount of money the Israelis eat in Gallana Kulalu irrigation scheme, most of these visits thus investments just favour the donor/foreign governments!!! Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune - Jim Rohn.

My guess is; 1. they see Kenya as an economy thats less tied to commodities hence can provide a predictable base station 2. Strong service industry (banking, ICT) plus strategic location 3. A leadership/president who is keen to engage in G2G projects 4. A robust and growing middle class with a taste for imported goods (Kenya is the worlds 4th largest importer of used cars from Japan) 5. Nigeria and Angola are suffering from hangi's of oil slump while SA has realised most of its potential "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline."

Yes and when the beach and wildlife tourism died who said we could not develop our own type of tourism namely " Political tourism".
I am sure the inflow to the country from political tourism will be handsome to Kenya in 2016.
Indeed as they say , when one door closes another one is already open, you only need to look the other way to see it.

Where did our Kenyans @Matoles and @Okwaras got the info that he will be in Kenya for 3 days? That movement only shows he will be in kenya for max 2 days (and less than 48 hours). Our @Larry Madowos cannot do a simple search before broadcast!   Portfolio: Sold
