    America and Russia are more corrupt more than Kenya. You may move your UN headquarter but kenya will still build for ourselve. After all we dont need your western Aid anymore, what we need is trade and tehnology transfer and that is what Asian countries are helping with.

    @tomwanyonyi: Are you insisting that Obama is more corrupt than Kibaki? An interesting thought. FYI, I'm not saying one bit that America's government doesn't have any problems with corruption or that America doesn't have other major problems. I'm thinking of the fact that many companies boycotted South Africa over apartheid and purported to be morally upright in doing so.

    Will any company with a corporate conscience invest in this project? Kenya's record of lynchings, other extra-judicial killings by State agents, and elections-related violence makes me hope not. The UN should relocate, ALL investors should back away, until the country, led by its incredibly corrupt Government ('Zero tolerance for corruption!'???? ha!), changes radically.
