“While Europe is working at night, Africa is busy sleeping and working in ‘other directions’…no wonder the high rate of population growth.” Raila Odinga stated.

This comes as Raila Odinga insisted that the future of Africa is on Infrastructural Development:

“It is Africa’s turn to take up Infrastructure challenge; we must address it with fierce urgency that is now. We know the challenge and what it will take to address the challenge,” Raila insisted.

Hon Raila also stated when Africa started losing its grip in gaining mileage on Infrastructural development;

“One could say that investment in infrastructure is why regions and continents parted ways in regard to development. This is where we in Africa began to fall behind while others forged ahead,” Raila expressed his concern.

Do you think Africa could grow economically if it invest of infrastructural development?
