When Raila Odinga was elected as the High Representative of the African Union for Infrastructure, his powers of office and resources did not come from the Kenyans. Every cent that he used while in this office came from the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa.
Kalonzo Musyoka has spoken up in support of this point, making sure everyone knows the details of where his resources come from. He sees the role of High Representative of the African Union as an honorable position, and wants to be sure the right facts are in place.
This point made by Kalonzo is especially important when it comes to helping ensure African nations have the funds they need to support development projects. By showing transparency around the money that comes from the headquarters in Addis Ababa, Raila Odinga is making sure that no one is misled and all nations can reap the rewards of economic development.
