TOWN HALL MEETING - NAIROBI KENYA, HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
She choose not to give a speech maybe fully aware that she may be no match to Sen. Barrack ( Baraka) Obama who in 2006 standing on the awed platform of Taifa Hall delivered a much more poignant and telling speech. She choose to enagage the audience through an unscripted discussion arising from audience questions. She did a superb job and her prowess of world affairs was evident. From Kenya's 2% forest cover, Kenya's 10 Million facing starvation, to Alshabaab, to Eritrea, to Congo to Nigeria, India and wherever. Her Identification of police, judiciary and election reforms revealed a leader who is up to her job - as America's ambassador in- chief.
What continues to suprise me is how our own leaders are not able to face us, to explain, to repsond question by question to the concerns of wananchi. They come armed with long boring and essentially useless long speeches. When shall we learn the art of simplicity in accepting where we err.
