Could Kenya copy South Korea model?

The visit by US President Barack Obama was not just historic, but some of his words in speech should be given fertile ground, nurtured and nourished by the republic he spoke fondly about. The sweetness of the narration of a loving son to his folks should not run away with the hard realities, but should be reduced to a workable formula.

We propose to pick up one point in this discussion. Mr Obama went beyond words and used his hands to explain a point (may be because of the weight of the matters)on the economy. 'Kenya's economy is also emerging - and the entrepreneurial spirit that people rely on to survive in the streets of Kibera can now be seen in new businesses across the country. When I came here as a US senator, I pointed out that South Korea's economy was the same as Kenya's when I was born, and then was 40 times larger than Kenya's.
