Bravely, President Uhuru Kenyatta, supported by his friend Raila Odinga and some civil servants, set forth to Beijing early this week. What will happen there is as puzzling as the title of the gathering, of over 40 states and a larger number of corporations under - the Belt and Road Initiative. The title is odd — it is said to draw its inspiration from Silk Road, the trading route that linked China and the West 2000 years ago. China is ostensibly helping states all over the world to improve the living standards of its people. But more recent leaks show that any Kenyan asset can be seized.
