I grew up in Nairobi, which is the capital of Kenya, so it's hustle and bustle, and there's always something going on.

Living in South Africa and periodically coming back to Kenya, my relationship with officialdom in Kenya was just insane.

There is a need to take advantage of the change that has taken place in the Congo, however tragic that has been in its coming.

I think now, we in the international community are belatedly wanting to show our solidarity with the Somali peoples and also do our best to help them move to better times.

One of the matters that must be addressed is that Rwanda and Uganda have to leave the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We're also supporting processes to ensure that the political dialogue among the Congolese themselves takes place so that the people there can decide their future.

I had moved back to Kenya after undergrad, and I went through this crisis of, 'What is my life going to be about?'

There is always something new out of Africa.

I'm extremely optimistic about rapid transformation and change of things in Africa in general.

I was ready in 2008 for the Olympic Games but unfortunately I missed the Kenyan trials with a thigh injury. I watched those Olympics but it was tough to watch. But it was good in the end because a Kenyan, Wilfred Bungei, was the champion.

If we continue doing the right things in Africa, we can create a very exciting and competitive global market here.
