Wonderful 24 hours with Kenyan people. Started the trip by meeting students and young business leaders, sharing ideas at Convergence Africa. Was asked a question about corruption and urged the press and the people to keep their governments honest. Mentioned that I felt the Prime Minister of Kenya, from everything I’ve heard, is an exceptional person and has the possibilities of becoming the new Nelson Mandela of Africa.
We then went out to the bush to meet the Masai. Having been made an honourable Elder the last time I was in Kenya, it was very interesting to discuss with them their wishes to protect one of the five wonders of the world, the migration of the zebra and the wildebeest. We talked about helping protect large tracks of land outside the Mara with the Masai, so that the migration doesn’t get blocked.
