Stop lecturing and open up trade, Raila tells the West

Prime Minister Raila Odinga Tuesday opened a new war front with
developed countries asking them to stop “lecturing” African nations
on governance issues. He, instead, urged the West to focus on how to
further open up more trade avenues in the continent to enable African
countries to prosper economically.

Give real meaning to Agoa forum
While addressing delegates attending the ongoing Africa Growth and
Opportunity Act forum in Nairobi, Mr Odinga said the continent had made
great strides by “toppling dictators” who had given Africa a bad
name.

In bad taste

“Lecturing us on issues that deal with governance and transparency is
in bad taste,” said the PM. Added Mr Odinga: “The continent is still
recovering from an era of dictatorship and tyrannical leadership that
many African countries struggled hard to dislodge. “We therefore
don’t need lectures on how to govern ourselves… we only require
lectures on how to trade not only with ourselves but with the rest of
the world to enable us prosper.”

The PM’s sentiments appeared to be in response to comments by US
Ambassador Michael Ranneberger, who had earlier on insisted that the
government must implement, in full, all the reform agenda it promised
Kenyans.

Top of what the US government wants addressed include constitutional
review, electoral review, land reforms and reconciliation. He spoke
ahead of the arrival of US Secretary of State Mrs Hillary Clinton, who
is expected to grace the official opening of the forum on Wednesday.
President Kibaki is also scheduled to attend.

Similar sentiments have also been raised by various countries that make
up the European Union. The US Ambassador said full implementation was
indeed very critical to the prosperity of Kenyans. “Failure to do this
will interfere with the realisation of the country’s economic
agenda,” said Mr Ranneberger while addressing the delegates.

The US Government has for long been piling pressure on Kenya to
implement the reforms it promised under Agenda Four of the National
Accord that was negotiated under the guidance of former UN
secretary-general Kofi Annan.

It has previously warned of unspecified action against Kenyan leaders
should it fail to implement the reform agenda and end the intermittent
wrangles that have threatened to derail the grand coalition.

The two principals – President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga
– have often been criticised for failing to guide the country out of
danger ahead of the 2012 elections. However, the two have in the recent
past moved to assure the country that the coalition would last to the
end and would deliver on the reforms envisaged in the National Accord.
