'Stop blaming the west for Africa's woes'
By Barry BatemanAfrica should stop blaming the West for her woes and implement means of delivering good governance to the citizen of the continent. This is according to Kenyan High Commissioner Tom Amolo who on Tuesday addressed delegates at the Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA) Ambassadorial Forum. The forum looked at the challenge of good governance in Africa and meeting African Union (AU) and New Partnership for Africa's Development's (Nepad) goals. Amolo lauded Tshwane Metro council for trying to bring the "African street closer to African practitioners". "The combined positive benefits of an interaction may not be felt immediately but will linger, take seed and flourish in the hearts and minds, not only of our grassroots, but also the political elite and economic elites that run the country," he said.
