Africa: Dr. Hesbon Hansen – Can Kenya Really Become a ‘Singapore of Africa’? the Questions We Must Ask

"Singapore" may have become a campaign buzzword, but it raises fundamental questions that the country must confront--both proponents and sceptics alike. We live in a political culture where being in opposition, or simply outside government, often translates into opposing for the sake of it. Yet nations do not progress by dismissing ambition. They progress by daring to dream--and by doing the hard work required to turn those dreams into reality....
