When it comes to debt relief and you calculate what you will gain it's nothing because they can drop the debt but unfair trading practices still are there....So even if the debt is dropped we'd be back in debt in 5 years because there's no balance of trade. Without that economic freedom you are still dependent. As long as they're fearing free trade it will take us a long time to truly say that we are liberated of colonialism. It will take time. It will take time. It will take time.

What Africans are after is money and a good life. I think that the good life will come to Kenya through a concentrated effort. We can turn this situation around. The younger generation is passionate about this situation, they want to invest and bring technology back to their country and help their own people. Even myself, I'll invest in Kenya, unlike the older generation. If this happens then only can we say that we've escaped from colonialism.
