“The relation with China is not at the expense of any other country whatsoever but we have joint initiatives in railway, roads, ports, airport and telecommunication sectors,” the premier stressed.
He said the coalition government would ensure that the clamour for dual citizenship among Kenyans in the Diaspora become a reality when the new constitution was in place.
Cabinet Ministers James Orengo, Prof Anyang Nyongo , Paul Otuoma and several MPs received the premier at the airport.

Raila is a megalomaniac fascinated with impractical grandiosity just like Bokassa. His history is littered with unfinished projects, and his latest is nuclear power. I am glad he never became President.Why can't he start with the harnessing of wind and solar power like in Northern Europe, the worlds leaders in such cutting edge technology?

interesting comments here. Mr PM, did our guys from Kengen have anything to do with this? I hope you are not planning to run power generation from the PMs office. There are reasons why Kengen has not put up one themselves.. a phone call will clear up your mind. Maybe concentrate on your duties as PM, the things you promised the nation... let the experts handle this

So many critics of nuclear energy propagating solar and wind energy. Have you guys any idea what it would cost to efficiently utilize those resources? To intall wind mills to supply the equivalent of one medium size nuclear reactor costs twice as much. Ofcourse waste disposal is the main challenge for nuclear energy. Romulus, USA

Sunburn, I think you need to re-read your history. Comparing Raila to Bokassa is purely naive and unwarranted. It is because of such criticism without objective that has made Kenya to lag behind its 1960 peers like South Korea and Malaysia. Good idea can only lead to better idea. Give your ideas without hatred for the man.
