Aid is an element of soft diplomacy and even based on that map above you can get a feel of US foreign policy.

In the case of Kenya-US relations; the main objectives for the Americans are their "war on terror", checking Chinese influence in the region and a means to exert influence on the government of the day. One could also mention the capacity development programmes but that's a part of my third point.

Speaking theoretically, if the US were to pull aid the security services and trade would be the biggest losers. On the other hand Kenya would not lack suitors willing to plug that gap.

I hope this helps.

After a weekend of liberal excesses, littering was the best way to show love for the environment and to combat climate change and explain further other liberal perspectives. And after all, it is the work of the deplorables to clean up after them. But maybe this is the liberal swan song as starting Monday, they will be emigrating to Canada.......

If only some people vote as much as they talk, they would have no need of talking much. Sigh.

Just asking, is a market (even for loans) not worth fighting for?

Trumps White house - it’s a controversy ridden roll out!

His press secretary Sean Spicer, appears on 21st January the second day after inauguration to protest about under-reporting on the inauguration attendance numbers – an otherwise obscure issue but they felt compelled to come out to address!!

In that presser, in which he appeared as hostile, Sean offered non-factual info – ‘we had recording breaking crowd for the inauguration’ – well may be in its smallness!

Then Kellyanne Conway Trumps advisor/Counsellor also appears on NBC television from white house grounds, - attempts to defend the white house’s blunder of sending Sean out there to engage in trivialities.
While at it she wonders why the press won’t accept “alternative facts” – aka lies!!

Then in a second presser Monday 23rd Jan, Sean laments how they are frustrated and demoralised by the press!

Trump for his part went to CIA headquarters and tried to sell a lie – that he has not been attacking them and the entire intelligence community – it is all a media fabrication – hello... these are intelligence personnel the your usual ignoramus aka deplorables!

In the CIA meet, Trump brought his cheerleaders who were then strategically seated to lead in cheering him in the course of his speech – to create a semblance of cordiality and appreciation!
Trump tweets on the massive women’s protest in Washing DC, and other cities in the US – ‘why didn’t these people vote’! – A president engaging in unnecessary arguments with general citizens!

It’s a free fall!

Just jetted in from the inauguration and what a great day it was for President Trump and the US. It was the biggest event in history but the crooked media has been trying to downplay it. Here are the pictures the crooked and evil media have refused to show.
