From brain drain to brain resource; the state of Kenya’s Diaspora

NAIROBI: The Kenya Diaspora, estimated as at least three million-strong, is the largest number of Kenyans living away from the motherland at the same time ever.

Our Diaspora is bigger, numerically speaking, than some small island nations. It has a wealth of education, expertise, skill and talent that would do a separate nation state proud. Kenyans are fond of talking about participatory and inclusive dynamics. Kenya's biggest gestures of participatory and inclusive factors will come with a full and symbiotic embrace of and engagement with the Diaspora.
