Joseph Lekuton, a member of Kenya's parliament, tells the story of his own extraordinary education, and then a parable of how Africa itself can grow. His message of hope for Kenya in particular has never been more relevant.

"What did you bring for us?" A typical statement here on the African continent.
I haven't been to Kenya. Yet. But the problems Mr. Joseph speaks of are not local to Kenya. Nigeria, where oil and gas are in abundance, drinking water is scarce. Curruption in the government, by the kings, the chiefs, the princes is unbelievable. I hope Mr.Lekuton is for real.
