The son from the lake who claims to eat fish daily has been pinpointed as one of the remaining African leaders who are respected and honored when it comes to good governance. He has been in Boston, US for the same and other places to give lectures on good governance, and now he is on it again accompanied by Senators Dr Agnes Zani and Prof Anyang' Nyong'o to deliver the same in Israel.
Opposition leader and CORD bigwig Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga traveled to Israel on Saturday evening, 5th March 2016 for a one week visit during which he will address the first Africa and Israel Policy and Leadership Conference that kicks off on Monday, 7th March and ends on 10th March 2016.
The Conference's sessions will feature on Governance, Education, Sustainability, the Middle East and Public Diplomacy to be addressed by various African and Israel leaders. However, Rt.Hon Raila Odinga is set to address the conference on the subject of Governance in Africa. We hope 'Baba' will condemn the cocoons of dictatorship and corruption and even provide the appropriate measures that will help lay groundwork for reforms in African style of governance.
In Raila's address, it is expected that he will condemn the corruption cartels who have commandered African leadership, most of whom are determined to sweep corruption acts under the carpets. Remember, government officials of Kenya have perfected in executing corruption deals working in cahoots with international actors making Kenya emerge the third most corrupt country in Africa. Surely, shall we get a leader of integrity to kill this dragon that has brought African economy to its knees?
Finally, the conference will take place at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It is organized jointly by the Harry S. Truman Research Institute of the advancement of Peace, the African Center for Peace and Democracy and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
