Kenya has no leverage over china in anything, $8bn worth of projects in just half the cost of bagamoyo + cement factories in Tz, Even on trade, $5bn per year in exports is a drop in the ocean for china's global trillion dollar trade per month.
This misguided attitude that kenya is special is your problem..And its the same bigoted problem uhuru has, Ethiopia was able to restructure its SGR loans with china, kenya could not even get a regular loan let alone a free grant.
The problem with kenya is bad attitude, supremacy posture that is rooted in tribalism or ethnic "exceptionalism"
China has options in africa especially with ethiopia,eritrea,Djibouti and somalia now working together
