The Kenya's National Assembly on Monday rejected the US senators assertion that Nairobi was turning away from Washington for China’s goodies. Instead, a lawmaker who chairs the foreign relations committee said that Kenya was free to expand its partnerships while maintaining traditional alliances.
Last week, US Senator Jim Risch, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told a hearing on ‘East Africa & The Horn: At A Turning Point or Breaking Point?’ that Kenya was inching closer to China despite being a traditional US ally.
