I was happy for that assessment for one reason, it will keep foreigners away for a bit longer so that I can get entrenched. 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.
