Then look at the level of Chinese investments to Africa over roughly the same time period:

@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?

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!!!

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

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) Consumption by the so called middle class Kenyans is meagre and cannot draw national interest of a foreign country
5. Nigeria and Angola are suffering from hangi's of oil slump while SA has realised most of its potential
