NAIROBI, KENYA: When the African delegation landed in the United States recently for the US-Africa Summit, Tanzanian business leaders were supposed to lead the group in all the negotiations. President Barack Obama had visited Tanzania recently in his African tour,  skipping Kenya, his father’s birthplace.

But this expectation was short-lived. After the first day of the summit, the focus shifted from Tanzania and indeed Africa as a whole to Kenya. Those in attendance say the summit turned from being US-Africa summit to a Kenya-Africa summit.
