Sometimes people like to take risks.

I congratulate the outgoing Nigeria President Mr Goodluck Jonathan for his grace in conceding defeat.

What has happened in the past is a lot of good policies have been developed on paper, but you find they are not implemented. So there is a disconnect between rhetoric and practice.

Gone are the days when African leaders used to misrule their people and the rest of Africa was quiet under the guise of what was called non-interference.

If someone like Musalia [Mudavadi ] ruled Kenya, he would not be able to effect the radical changes I talk about.

Musalia [Mudavadi] has a much weaker character in person than [Musikari] Kombo, and you know the joke about humble Luhya servants as cooks and watchmen...Anyway, jokes aside, Luhya disunity is a blessing for us and I would never have wanted it any other way.

The mediocrity with which Africa has been ruled is responsible for its underdevelopment.
