Kenya should invest seriously and vigorously in its relationship with Japan and should not attempt even for a second to treat Japan as second fiddle as it has contributed greatly towards the economic development of Kenya since independence. Japan currently is the biggest trading partner of not only Kenya but the whole continent as it is committed to see Africa develop and grow economically.
