We love Americanisation. It started with the airlift in 1959 when the US put the first generation of Kenyan leaders through their schools.

Americans play the long game. Movies and media have reinforced the coolness of being American. So much that Kenyans are on the US visa waiting list till 2024. Our children have more American names than Chinese or say Italian.
