Nairobi — Prime Minister Raila Odinga used the just-concluded World Policy Conference in France to reach out to Kenya's international partners to invest in the country.
At the same time he seized the opportunity to explain that the country was back on its feet after the post-election violence earlier in the year.
The conference, the first of its kind, was organised by the French Institute of International Studies. The forum which ended Thursday, was aimed at fostering interactive and constructive dialogue between researchers, professionals and opinion leaders.
