Ever since Raila Odinga’s AU appointment as the High Representative for Infrastructure Development in Africa; his efforts into making the best out of this job has been seen clearly and this proves the critics wrong.
His appointment was not well received by many who cried to be tired out of the recycling of officials back into spaces that could be opportunities for young leaders.
Even so, Raila’ experience in the political and leadership space has allowed him to stay determined and focused on the real goal and agenda.
An African leader that has since traveled to a number of countries to embark on his role.
It is festive season and still he is on the run. Earlier yesterday, Raila Odinga accompanied by his wife, were delighted to meet officials of the National Port Authority in Namibia led by their acting CEO Elias Mwenyo, for a briefing and tour of the Walvis Bay Container Terminal Project.
According to Raila, the terminal is being constructed on reclaimed land to increase the handling capacity of the Port which forms an integral part of infrastructure development in the SADC region and the entire continent.
Raila also had the pleasure of meeting with the President of Namibia Hage Geingob. The leaders discussed issues pertaining to infrastructure in the SADC region and the continent in general as well as other matters of common interest.
The push for development and change is real and at this same rate there is hope for a better Africa.
