Most developed countries don't like African countries to have a hardworking  president. If we have him for 10 years, will go far , it will be kibaki X2, leaders are born once in a generation and he is a born leader! Not an impostor like Rao
For that reason, I will advice my prezo, he should beef up his security, stop those prayer sessions at state house , only trusted people should access him from now on, we expect him to deliver but we need him not to  be harmed by evil minded people.

I think premises is wrong and rather old school...most developed countries genuinely want to help poor countries.The colonial conspiracies are over.Ruto should listen to brilliant folks willing to experiment.Prof Ndungu as finance minister is one such guy though he got into little graft at his tenure...wife receiving favours.. nothing big He needs Bitange ndemos, Kipngetich, James mwangis to pull out David Ndii plan.

What kind of stupid statement is this? You think the west is worried about poverty stricken african countries? Ruto is not Saddam Hussein.

Africans love to be paranoid and then blame their failures on others.
Why are many Asian countries that were former colonies of the West doing good and you do not hear them complaining 24/7 about colonialism?

I think one has to be aware of their boundaries so they dont make powerful enemies. For example terrorism is no go zone. Kenya gov has to cooperate - if kenya was to allow islamic fundamelist then we make enemies. If kenya was to harm foreign investment from western nations by going for examples for land or minning rights - we make enemies.

We have to pay our debts, play by international laws, and generally stay below radar otherwise if you starting talking big ambitious crap like Gadaffi or host terror like Sudan - you'll soon find yourself in the cross-hair.

Western nations want to help but only if you're reasonable & not threatening. We have to find win-win proposals will all our partners and avoid international demagoguery - for example we should have no opinion on Ukraine-Russia - it's beyond our paygrade. Israeli-Palestine - beyond our paygrade.

We should be friendly to all - enemies to very few. We have to play by the rules - help combat terrorism, drugs, pay our debts, protect foreign investment, be a good boy, fix our country and focus on our problems.

As long as you don't join African struggle, or become open Pan-Africanist, you are okay with the west. They don't like Magufuli, Sankara, Gadaffi, nyerere, Nkrumah, Mugabe types.

Not true.  Sub-Saharan Africans are not like Arabs. Magafuli was never a threat.  Nkkurumah and Nyerere were operating during the cold war era when you had to pick sides -- east vs. west (that is now over). Mugabe ended up destroying himself with his stupid policies.

The west wasted Magufuli, Sankara, Gadafi, and Nkurumah!
