I'm glad to see our President in India. The Chinese are only good at one thing, exploiting. But India, we can learn a lot from. They have travelled the same journey with us and we can relate better. There was almost nothing between us and the Chinese in the 80s and 90s, in fact, the first time I saw a Chinese person on our soil was in 2004.

But seriously, think about it, is there one good thing you can think of from our relationship with China other than mounting debt and counterfeit of everything?

There is no genuine, modern skill you can't learn from India. If Kenya is to take steps out of poverty, we need to teach our people how to fish and not how to borrow the fish.

BBI will solve it :)

I kinda agree with you, we share alot of historical similarities with India, plus India is growing through engaging in high value trades, i,e IT and software, medical tourism etc.

What I would have wanted Uhuruto to do was to try and think outside the box, e.g how about sending 10 bright students per county to study medicine in India every year, the quality of their education is competitive, costs are dirt cheap and brain drain is next to nil as nobody wants to settle in India after finishing school.

But I guess we settled for some cancer screening machine worth kes.300million. Kabura can buy for us 5 of those from a single deal.

All of them are exploiters and ou could learn from them. The bottom line is they are looking after their interests. Are we looking after ours?

We first need to stop importing anything edible from China. From noodles to sweets to chicken... These guys can't even feed their population without importing food yet they are able to export food to the bread basket that is Africa. Total nonsense.

But of course the chinaman get the big ticket govt tenders, the indians farms to grown legumes and set factories, mzungus head govt institutions and the mwafrika gets to slash grass and dig trenches under NYS and SGR.

Are we looking after our own? Choices have consequences kweli
