By Standard Reporter

KENYA: Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga will travel on Sunday evening to United Kingdom to address the third Times CEO Summit Africa in London on Tuesday.

The two-day summit, which starts from Monday April 29 to 30, 2013 will bring together the Chairpersons and Chief Executives of Africa’s biggest businesses and international investors.

 Raila is expected to address a dinner gathering of business and political leaders focusing on the realities of doing business in Africa, including risks and opportunities.

He will also address Kenya’s democratic transformation, the recent elections and the country’s readiness for business with the world.

The Summit has been hosted by the UK’s ‘The Times Newspaper’ since 2011 and focuses on the debate around Africa’s growth agenda and potential.
