Kenya rapidly losing economic strength

Isn't it interesting that Kenya will so quickly lose everything that made it the darling of Africa? Travel spending will plummet, all media will be negative, markets closing which means no venture capital. This is the end of the mirage that was Kenya's miracle in the midst of a tough continent.

Why? Because they foresook democracy, plain and simple. I've been in Kenya, and the fact that Kenyans are tribal and care more about their tribes than their country is going to tear the place apart

They need a strong honest leader now.

"There was a meeting this morning of the federation of tour operators. They have two flights going out, one tomorrow and one on Saturday. Both will go out but they will fly empty to pick up holidaymakers due to come back," a spokesman said. Tourism was Kenya's main foreign currency earner in 2006. Revenue was estimated to have topped $1 billion last year.
