With US Secretary of State John Kerry in Nairobi to prepare for President Barrack Obama's tour in July, an opinion poll shows Kenyans have identified the US as the most valuable development partner outside East Africa.
Some 35 per cent of those polled in the Ipsos survey named the US as the most important for Kenya to have good relations with to achieve the country's development goals, ahead of China (23 per cent) and United Kingdom (7 per cent).
