XN IRAKI: Why Westlands epitomises Kenya’s bright future

Kenya: If you want to see Kenya’s audacious future, visit Westlands, in Nairobi. Take time to walk around Sarit Centre and preferably have a drink at Java, where you have a vantage view of those streaming into the shopping complex.

Westgate Mall could have provided the same vantage point, particularly at Art Caffe. Seated there, you will see every race represented. They come to shop, and meet. They are North Americans, Asians, South Americans, West Africans, South Africans, Arabs, Indians and locals like me. They are all joined together by the market.
