Sadly this is a reflection of what The Zeitgeist and Esoteric Agenda have been preaching for so long yet we are so blind to see it. 

I agree with Steve, there is no such thing as innovation that attracts these multinationals to Africa.  

All this though begs the question; all this "Call to action", "Change mindsets" "Vote Wisely" when does it bear fruit? I foresee a scenario where those children born in IDP camps will be responsible for a once and for all revolution, to take back the country that has been robbed off our feet as we watch and stare. -that is IMHO

Joram dont be fooled with all those companies setting up shop in Kenya. That is actually a bad sign. Dont you know that growth has reached its peak elsewhere in the world and Africa happens to be the last market and thats why they are all running to Africa. It is not Africas innovation that is attracting them, it is in fact the lak of innovation that is bringing them here. The same thing happened when explorers like livingstone and the rest had a mad rush to conquer Africa. Africa had lack of innovation then yet there was a scumble for it. This is all a game of dominance and we are the pawns and we just dont know it

The only reason kenya scored badly is the ICC cases and repeated intervention from UN et al. But since post election

1. we have a new constitution with proper separation of powers and transparency(anyone watch the interviews?) 
2. we have a new Judiciary with a supreme court and highly independent officers who dont report to the president(maybe except for one)
3. MPs are almost paying tax.

all the above were unheard of in kenya. We have the foundations of the worlds next great nation , hence the standard chartereds,toyotas, IBM, Nokia, Samsung, Google , GE and the chinese setting up their africa HQs in kenya, not SA or Nigeria or Egypt....

So if FDI owners believe kenya is a big risk, that is a good thing for a kenyan in the short term. Entrench yourself before they come in with their big moneys......so that they can buy you out or compete with you on equal footing.
