The south china morning post this week reported of the nuptials between china and Kenya. The two countries “exchanged vows of friendship and spoke of widening economic and political co-operation”. Agreements worth sh425 billion signed with china on Monday. Certainly there is value in Kenya expanding her traditional friendships and seeking to create new ones. But advice from us President Barack Obama offered on his Africa tour in June is worth remembering. He said: make sure it’s a good deal for Africa’ in reference to foreign interests here. Tonight on checkpoint we are asking is china offering Kenya a good deal. Joining us now to discuss the eastern dragon is strategist Moses Kuria just back from Beijing and our in house political analyst prof Edward Kisiangani.
