The President’s Digest Daily, Wednesday, May 31, 2023 Where Pictures Talk Thousands Of Words 3 President William Ruto Monday said that Africa must fix its infra- structure to stimulate trade in the region. He said the continent must establish a sustainable funding to accelerate the overhaul of its in- frastructure. He also said governments, the private sector and develop- ment partners must partner to further this cause. The President noted that the lack of efficient transport system con- tinues to impede investments. “This has made it costly to do business, thereby reducing the continent’s competitiveness,” he said. The President also called for the speeding up of the estab- lishment of a common payment and settlement system to support trade between African countries. “The system will be de- signed to eliminate the challeng- es of cross-border payments; this will accelerate intra-Africa trade,” he said.

William was declared the winner President, but our good General remained back. Secession on the other hand means the action of withdrawing It must be understood that General Ogolla had a Boss, the formally from membership of a federation or body, especially a political Commander-in-Chief where, by practice can’t defy his orders. state like what happened in 1860 in USA where eleven states One can only imagine the agony that General Ogolla was attempted to secede from the rest of the USA occasioning the undergoing when he obeyed that order. American Civil War. But then William understood it and ignored the expectations of many and went ahead to appoint the General as the CDF. Balkanization means the fragmentation of a larger region or Congrats General and thank you William for being gentle. state into smaller regions or states, which may be hostile or uncooperative with one another. It is usually caused by differences of ethnicity, culture, religion and some other factors such as politics or other grievances. Having defined the three terminologies, let us now analyze the statement made by the Azimio party in Yatta, Machakos County last weekend where they declared that they are intent to seek self determination and secede from Kenya, ultimately balkanizing Kenya into small ethnic enclaves just so that some political leaders can be addressed as their excellences. For their information, self determination will have to be sanctioned by the United Nations because, it is actually the formation of another country that is being touted. The UN will look into various factors and reasons for self determination where loosing an election or elections won’t warrant the granting of self determination to a group of persons who are aggrieved that they lost an election as the Kenyan case is. The seceding region must prove their economic viability and sustainability including their ability to stand against the harsh and hostile environments caused by various global events chief among them the daunting climate changes sweeping across the whole world. A suggested balkanized map of Kenya has been drafted showing what Azimio party would like to have as their country and what they propose to leave for Kenya Kwanza. So the question is; will the residents of the balkanized regions agree to belong to the balkanized regions? Did they consult them? If Azimio party thinks that secession or balkanization or self determination is a walk in the park, let them consult history especially the US 1860 attempt to secede eleven states and then consider their attempt. Those regions where secession and self determination succeeded have overwhelming distinct disparities with the Kenyan situation which is largely multiethnic, multicultural and multi-religious.
