At least we are in agreement! I am not sure if i wrote that the Moi era was perfect. No regime has been perfect for Kenya. A reality check will show that every regime had its own discomfort from the time of Kenyatta to Moi to Kibaki, and now ait with Kibaki-Odinga regime. Read Ameircan politics and economy too. Racism – there is no racism in investment. I dont find it in our Kenyan economy. Its in the mind of few ‘distorted’. I havent seen racism in Kenya. Kenya allows all sort of quacks, both good and bad. The Indian invested heavily in Kenya after being chased by Idi Amin Dada. Now they are facing stiff competetition from Kenyan investors. Basic point is that there is sort of a protectionist policy we have to embrace. Development does not mean to allow leaders who have corrupted the world to invest in an economy that facing its own challenges home. Its never a panacea to our problem. Selling the plot around the Grand Regency to Indian isnt a bright idea brother. Allowing Germany’s having those junk of land in coast isnt a classroom concept….read the story of the Tz girl….Allowing the British Johnies into our land isnt equality, and justice. Basically the ‘rule’ cant be same…as you say.

Another point to elaborate Salem is how China has been involved in Zimbabwe. Is Mugabe a Chinese or Moi is. You miss the point here. Get it from history. Chinese wont corrupt Kenya as our leaders have got some sixth sense. Do you think Mwai will allow Mugabe to invest in Kenya or has Babanginda invested in Luo land. We are slowly seeing the economy getting off the hands of Indian, Kamleshi Patni can open the scripture and show you why he had to surrender the Grand Regency. Or walk on River Road and see the shops that were initially occupied by Indian kama ziko uko bado. Kenyans are taking back the economy. Now we can too sell tea to Pakistan and get those chums……..

To say its racism, them we should condemn Kibaki for refusing being intimidated by British to sign the arms deal, and using Kenya as a naval base. Tell me if this is distorted and its because of Murungaru visa being withdrawn. Despite these leaders being tainted negative, they have done something that we can be proud. Not racism. It does not exist. Indians have used Kenyan or Africans. But a little challenge….talk to Fred Gumo and ask him where he stared his career. Several kenyans have learned tricks from the very Indian, and now we are taking over. There is not time to wait.

In India, they have something called…i can get the name. A certain rich clan of poeple are now certainly taking the conomy into their own hands. Caste sytem is live. But when it comes to asking for votes they go to the very poor. In Indonesia, its happening – no foreign investment unless it eneficial to the government. Can you get the facts proably from internet on the effects of FDI….foreign direct investment. Give a comparison on China history from the time its was a closed economy to the time it open up to the world. The US, despite bieng welcoming to every investor discourages anything that will lead to distressing their economy. What have they done – resorting to partnership with major players to roll-out industries. It wasnt racism refusing the Dubai Centre – justify that on white and black.

Now Salem lets leave the word Racism rest in peace. We have suffered a lot and we need to say Gadafi invest in your own country. African leaders cannot be stealing from their own citizens………or do you think Gadafi wa a fool when he wanted to be the head of the Afrcian Union. Was it wise?

I dont want to have more acute verabl diarrhoea……….lest i get a kick out of this! Racistiology died in Kenya.

Here we go again……..Elijah with his popular distorted concepts. Apparently, Indians, Chinese & Armenians can invest in Kenya but Gaddafi cannot!! What keenness are we talking about in Moi’s era? Mobitelea is still a mystery, so is Goldenberg and a host of other investments.
