geza, at some point putting away the perennial love/hate affair with Kenyans, u indeed talk sense. It was a big mistake to overtly denounce the west. The Chinese and Ruskies also feel Kenya lost her bargaing clout, (the west), and are more free to set terms of appointment, how they want it to be, when it shall be, and how they'll shag our resources, etc. No different from the west. Risky opportunity costing by this govt which was recklessly executed to merely pass a message.
However, the president may still travel to Russia or china later but not soon......
I am not against the Burundi trip though, lets see what is being prepped here....maybe the govt side does see sth i don't.
