Kenya’s Prime Minister Raila Odinga announced today that Kenya will host the 20th World economic forum on Africa. He led Kenya’s delegation to Cape Town, South Africa to attend the 3-day 18th session of the World economic forum that ended yesterday and while there, he accepted the invitation from the organisers on behalf of Kenya to host the summit in 2010.
“This is a major breakthrough that heralds the country’s emergence as a leading player in the drive for the continent’s global economic integration,” he said to reporters shortly after he returned to the country and made this announcement.
